Feature request: Check for probes at same position during calculation
Hi!
I've run into this problem a couple of times. When running a local bake it ends up failing at the end since two probes are at the same position. This happens because either the probe layout adds a probe where there's a pinned probe already (unlucky) or I accidentally e.g added two dynamic openings at the same place (I think the layout might place probes at dynamic openings as well if you're unlucky?). It would be nice if you could get a warning if this problem would occur after the calculation in UE since it's a bit time-consuming to get it after an entire bake.
Thanks for the report! I agree this is really annoying behavior.
In the interim, if you're willing to write a little XML parsing code, you could detect this duplicate probe problem on your own by parsing through the probe list inside and removing any duplicate entries you find before submitting the bake.
