If you've never asked, how'd you know? 🤷
empty dune
i have, when i was starting to learn ue. it wasted months of my life
summer cedar
what error message are you getting with the json?
empty dune
im looking into it, there's no problem parsing the thing, its just saying the information present in the json is invalid
soft night
proud jay
strings and transforms
and what is making the json invalid?
empty dune
thats what im trying to figure out
proud jay
saving binary would be faster and more space efficient prbably though. But reading it or recovering from partial data loss would be harder
cursive crypt
proud jay
thats what im trying to figure out
do you have the json? cause you can just throw it in a validator for starterst
seeing if the json is actually proper json
such as jsonlint.com
proud jay
this of course just tells you if it's valid json
it could still be correct json but just not match the struct you're loading it into somehow
proud jay
but you could check that if you make a json schema like your struct and throw those in a validatos
empty dune
like the parser would throw an error?
proud jay
i mean its parsing properly, if it wasnt a valid json it wouldnt do that right?
so where does it go wrong?
empty dune
so where does it go wrong?
so the json basically contains 3 bits of information, the serialised (to a string) mesh, its relative transform and its current build status. the mesh is reconstructing, but somehow its not encoding the transforms properly

I have to say, the live screen adaptation really changed way too much from the book. They removed so many cool scenes and made the characters' alignments very one-dimensional.

thank you, is it still best practice to have the class' own header file last in the .cpp file?
Thanks, I was confused because although I follow the practice of .generated.h (well you kinda have to) being last in the header, I didn't really know if that would reflect in the .cpp so i changed the order in my classes just in case
the more I'm using UE C++, the more it's beocoming something just... between C++11 and C#.
why unlearn?

That way your "required includes" code inspection won't break.
The way I do things (and basically everyone I know):
- Header: base classes, other shit, generated.h (if required)
- Cpp: class header, other headers

With an optional blank line between each of those categories.
It helps your IDE in sorting new includes.
And they shoudl be arranged in alphabetical order.

broken sigil
thank you, is it still best practice to have the class' own header file last in ...
I prefer to have the own header be the first always
My reply was mostly how it works in CPP in general but UE with its UHT does enforce class's own header to be first if it has reflected types
fleet tangle
Though, and this is a me thing, I always include the full relative path inside the project.
So something like /Foo/Moo.h will include /Foo/Poo/Ooo.h as /Foo/Poo/Ooo.h and not Poo/Ooo.h
Helps with the sorting

UE5 C++ is standard C++20 (quite literally same language and compiler)

what i am confused by is, why is there two someclass::someclass
is it some oop thing where one is under the other, because I can't see any other use where it makes sense
fleet tangle
Constructors are functions which are named the same as their class and are used to create (or construct) objects of that class.
So the first SomeClass is saying that it's in the scope of SomeClass and the second one is the constructor function also called SomeClass
If there was some other function, let's say called ToString(), you might have SomeClass::ToString() as the function definition
deep copper
If there was some other function, let's say called ToString(), you might have So...
does this mean someclass has a function in it like someclass.someclass as a constructor?
wait is this how you add more functions under the class? with ::?
fleet tangle
does this mean someclass has a function in it like someclass.someclass as a cons...
#1 yes!
#2 no
deep copper
tbh :: does look cool
fleet tangle
In c++ the class declaration (I do declare!) and the definition (what it is) are usually separated.
So in teh "header" you might have something like: ```cpp
class SomeClass
{
public:
SomeClass(int Moo);
String ToString();
private:
int _Moo;
};and then in the cpp file, you would include that header at the top and then do something likecpp
SomeClass::SomeClass(int Moo)
: _Moo(Moo)
{
}
String SomeClass::ToString()
{
return FormatIntAsString(_Moo);
}```
This is party pseudo code...
So to add a new function, you would generally need to add something to both the header and the cpp file.
There are exceptions, of course, depending on your needs.

well what you'de be projecting on would not really be a flat plane, but if you took that position on the curved plane and the original one on the other plane the line formed would be aimed at the camera

If its using the camera, shouldn't it automatically account for the cameras fov?

yes but i want to do some separate calculation that has nothing to do with how the camera works inside unreal

i just want to make a marquee selection box for 3D. the method i thought of was, click on 4 points on the screen while the camera is frozen, propagate the points X units into the world from screenspace taking fov into account. that gives me the first face of the box and then i can propagate those original 4 points X+x1 distance where x1 is another value and that gives me a closed box. then do an overlap check and everything that touches that volume is selected

From the point you clicked?
(on the plane)
empty dune
yesh
fleet tangle
Deproject into the world. It's a pretty standard thing.
fleet tangle
We do it slightly differently because we focus on 2d planes, but yeah.
We work with 2d planes in the frustum, rather than 3d deprojection. Changes the depth a little is all.

i dont need full accuracy, close enough will do

makes sense

out of my head, somin like:
get cursor clicks in xy screen space, which activates a line trace,
transform clicklocation from screen to world space, + a few units in front of cam,
get forward vector cam, input (multiply or somin) that in the line trace,
get hit location blabla

i had to translate that term... is it what snakes do when they change their skin?
empty dune
i had to translate that term... is it what snakes do when they change their skin...
yes, humans do it too, pretty much every animal does it
its basically shedding of dead skins

i had to translate that term... is it what snakes do when they change their skin...
but it's also a beauty thing
where you scrub your skin with a brush or something to get rid of the dead skin cells and open your pores
I don't think they call the snake skin thing exfoliating though but I'm not native
afaik they call that "shedding"
or molting
maybe raindust likes dead skin
he likes dead cats, so it would make sense
I do
raindust is crazy
I got loyalty, got royalty inside my DNA

this one's for you @summer cedar

Or dips.
