They sell a version?
60 fps is gated for Patreon members.
Sounds like a Nintendo nightmare
Yeah, but it's just a section of the game. It'll probably be let off as mere fan art or whatever.
Just google Nintendo sues fans art and there's plenty of examples.
They sue for fan art plenty.
@summer cedar https://store.steampowered.com/app/1691340/STEEL_HUNTERS/
did you play that already?
After a cataclysmic event, Hunters were created by mankind to safeguard the collection of an extraterrestrial resource crucial to human survival, known as Starfall. Driven by ruthless factions, these fearsome mechanical giants have now become the key to dominate the scarce resource across the ruins of a green but abandoned Earth.…
seems to be an UE5 game
No. I kind of avoid online games.
Once the initial euphoria subsides, they almost always turn out to be grind fests.
i'll give it a shoot now... seems to be only 35GB
That's actually a nice size. Might be well-optimised.
well, it's early access
and F2P, so most stuff might be cosmetic DLCs which are separate 
15GB download only
I did it guys. my brain hurts but ladders work
who's gonna tell him?
tell me WHAT
Sometimes I lay awake at night thinking
"how the heck do you pair a ladder with an animation"
Do you use attachment points for the hands and feet and IK? Do you import the ladder and author the animation based on that?
no no, I had the animations and the matched ladder already. after the hard logic parts now putting the pawn in position should be easy
Congratulations on teaching your character to climb. 🎆
Now teach him to actually touch the rungs. 😛
clanClimb
why is he climbing like a meter away from the ladder?
no one will notice
You're right.
He's using the farce.
How's baby?
remember to make him pay rent.
he's paying in diapers atm
sell to compost.
I use it to make the special bread
Shread?
so that Steel Hunters is actually kinda fun
what did you like the most about it?
oh cmon... it's Mechs... what's not to like about that already? 😄
Fair.
it already feels kinda polished
pickups have an annoying small hitbox tho and you have to focus them
and the destruction system looks kinda neat
the mech is pretty much a walking tank
so it's hard to find solid cover, since most stuff can be destroyed
and it looks like Lumen to me, nice to get 60fps there
currently there's only last man standing tho
apparently always ~6 teams of 2 players
You can see why they've never had legal trouble, though. The charges wouldn't stick.
I am more impressed by that concrete texture 🔥
Now this is a name.
Fentucky Cried Kickin', I guess.
Gumroad is kinda bad to search any element tbh
every year, on my birthday My body run 2 lines of code...

Thank you so much, I'm 255 years already
cannot have more or will be a byte error
Old 8bit PCs are like that.
I cannot deal with the designer of this
why make the popuplist an scrollbox
for 2 extra options
so me
I came the same year of Nvidia
figure out
That's why I'm CPU powered
I swear
someone knows another tool that isn't inkscape
I used pior to this the microsoft solution, it was simple but did the work
this is terrible
or corel draw if you want something in between and don't mind to pay a few bucks
it was a few times on humble bundle already 😦
tbh, the theme is bad.
and the text have like chromatic aberration
There are not many apps like it..
I personally moved to Affinity, but is kinda more expensive.
Happy HPU day for Hevedy
why did fab have to break quixel bridge
damm Hitfilm was actually shutdown
and seems like Blender is under issues too
and other ones
Issues?

Past generations had no small list of excuses for their bad ideas. In the modern era, you are never more than seconds away from an in depth, well-quantified explanation with numerous historical supporting examples for why your bad idea is a bad idea.... and yet.
I love when anti capitalist people claim reading books makes you smarter than people who watch any form of tv
like you can be brilliant and enjoy tv
or dumb and enjoy reading even if your not very fast at it
"anti capitalist people" "reading books" Do they steal them!?
Not the grifters

Romania chose the pro EU president, we did it
Maybe they will arrest Andrew Taint
Didnt he move to US?
One of them said it was fun while it lasted in romania lol
You know its a good choice for a president when they want to leave
AWESOME! ✊
Congratulations.
We killed off a whole bunch of terrorists recently, too. Three or four leaders, long wanted, have now left for their paradise.
Sanity is being restored to the world, slowly, despite moorica.
I'm sure they'll be happy there.
Still doing better than SpaceX 😅
Rocket failures are just part of the process, tbh. We had one yesterday or so. It was our... what... 103rd launch or something, and the satellite was lost.
It's okay. We can invest another hundred million or more and try again, no probs.
So, how is the new guy?
Are you expecting some useful legislation to be enacted?
Great. He was the mayor of the capital and will get things done
Cut down on corruption, special pensions, attract more funds
Noice!
moorica too busy trying to arm them.
They have got a great president. They'll be fine.
Everyone will have 60 dolls and 10 santas by Christmas Eve.
My friend went MIA
Check El Salvador.
Been 2 days since they were on their way back from USA
Did anyone call the deportation centres and the cells at the airport?
Idk yet
They usually put 'em in there for 8-16 hours.
Can you call him?
Hope he's okay.
Same
At least they don't stone people in the US, yet.
We were supposed to hang out when they got home
yet......
Then I didn't hear from them
You might need to call Alcatraz
At least there's a red pill university. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pBSghZCsLc

You can be president that way.

UNFAB!
For real
Unreal
For fab
Prefab
Is it fixed?
Uh sorta
Still can't search anything but I am no longer looping
Maybe fab is dealing with a lot of traffic
Because it's not on my end 🤷
Literally nothing going on, on my network
It's computing too many tariffs.
I didn't hit accept
Gotta charge the right % per country, per asset, per artist.
That's why we need 30TB HDDs.
So we can store everything locally.
And then, destroy our own computers.
So annoying lol
I literally just wanted to go test something
and it fucking bugs out
Like wow
Can't you use something from your asset folder, instead of Fab?
Not if I don't have said asset
Dang.
If I try to download from browser sends me to launcher
That works sure
But quixel isn't there
At least not all of them
Oh, you want a megascan?
Yeah I saw something in #ue5-general about quixel and was going to see myself
Then my fab broke entirely on me too
Maybe reinstall fab
🤷
Not sure what else to try atm
Deleted all local temp files on my pc pertaining to unreal that weren't install files so
and closing unreal keeps giving crash reports
Keeps getting better
Not even so much the megascan at this point Unreal became unstable now
So this is fun
Just verifying files now
Ok, I tried adding Furniture Textile Megascan to my repository.
Successful.
I think there might be some kind of network problem in that region of the world. North Koreans attacking maybe.
Give it time and come back to it later.
🤣 The 'perform same action on subsequent files' is disabled.
So, now I have to click YES and IMPORT for EVERY single asset in my asset repository project. 😄
I should ask Epic to buy me a new mouse. 🐭
Use keyboard?
Does not accept Y for yes.
Enter might work. But keyboard is more expensive than mouse.
Lol
Get some cheap dollar store mouse
Use that for all the meaningless actions
Save good mouse for important work
I always buy multiple of the same mouse so when one breaks, I have a backup until I can get another
never in my life have I been like "wow, having 2 of something is awful!"
But I've been bitten by my 1 thing breaking several times
I even grocery shop in 2s
Rule of 2s!
I had like 3 G502s because they were comfortable mice. Gave them to my brother because I ended up liking small mice more
I swear they were always on sale for like $30 so I'd pick up another spare
I had thought about buying a backup Ant E-Sports mouse (which is what I use now), but Amazon delivers in 24-48 hours here.
So, it's not like a mouse will ever be too far away from my evil grasp.
🖐️
Plus can't you hook your tablet up to pc
Aye, but I am not proficient with stylus-fu yet.
Git gud
Do you mean a drawing monitor?
Yeah, pretty much
Ah. I love my Gaomon PD drawing monitor.
I could understand how artists find it better since they're probably more comfortable with the whole looking at where you're drawing
repost!
Yeah, it's way more comfortable for sketching than a non-screen tablet.
Plus, as Lucifer said, once you get proficient, it's pretty good for 3D and input tasks, too.
I'm so much more comfortable with the whole mouse + screen thing where my hand does it's own thing and I'm concerned about the cursor on the screen
We are all subject to our conditioning.
We are Borg.
Of a sort....
It also depends on the software. Krita is superbly built for using tablets. Works very well with them.
But, I wonder if Blender would be so obliging, in and outside of sculpt mode.
Where is my open source undecillion polys zbrush competitor
I never really mastered a zbrush workflow
Did you use any specific resources when learning ECS for implementing with your flocking system?
Megafunk's github repo, asking ai "wtf does this do???" and throwing engine source files at it
Gemini 2.5 pro has been the best so far
Watching this right now and they brought up ECS and was kinda curious to learn more about it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oleOrBJF3cI
Join me as I ramble, breaking down why game programming is one of the most challenging domains in modern software development. After 18 years as a developer working across numerous languages and frameworks, I've pinpointed exactly what makes game dev uniquely difficult.

Live on Youtube 6-9 PM CST Sunday/Tuesday/Thu...
I been looking at things in a more OOP orientated way.
Like 9 months ago I was working on fish sims
After seeing what you can do when working with ECS and data oriented design, OOP feels dumb
and I had some ms issues that I was hoping to revisit soon
This is why I love I love make game so much
I absolutely love "my sheep are influencing sheep on the other side of a fence, that shouldn't happen, I have to find a solution" and like laying on the floor thinking
Doing some testing today with the water niagara object system for future oceanology versions. Was testing performance with multiple mesh renderers in editor. Went up to 28 as that was all I had for fish assets at the time but will add more in the future. Hope someone finds this interesting I plan on messing with this more as I seemed to have cau...
I forget how many was in that sim
But it was probably around 100k
Most my tests were around that
Yeah, gpu sims can get crazy
I did a few with 2 million
I followed another tutorial to achieve close to that anyways
But I need the whole gpu to do a strand based hair sim for the dog to hide my bad animations
So I'm keeping everything on the cpu
Get an intel gpu
"This game requires 2 gpus"
Still works. 😄
I really need to test what strand-grooms look like without TAA
It's all food
Punch? Slapping two carrots together.
Broken bone? Snapping celery.
Walking in snow? Crunch some lettuce
I can't unhear it
Lol
I love foley
Ayy it works now, https://i.imgur.com/gL2deG7.png
Horray! Now, plan the invasion.
blender is okay
I use zbrush less and less
even cloth sim brushes are better in blender
I love the idea of zbrush, but I haven't been able to really connect it
Make high poly, back detail to low poly, ??? I end up retopo anyways idk what to do with my zbrush work
sculpting rocks, welds, adding damage
rocks can be decimated in zbrush = final low poly
Where is my AI that lets me throw a model into it and say "do the pixar topology thing"
Learning "actually n-gons are perfectly fine" ruined me
that's what ai should be used for
Prolly the new Beta generation will be just vibing with the AI and create some splat mesh enlightened models for seconds.
back in my day we'd retopo by hand
ngl, I'm kinda glad I skipped the time of painting textures. Mostly. Partially.
Some of us starting to sound so old.
I started just before pbr became standard, we mostly did them with photoshop, then dDo became quite popular
painting over seams was a dream lol
folks these days have it easy 🧓
grunge, grunge, edge wear, dirt, scratches. Nice.
its a grunge thing
"The most standard framework of gamedev taught these days is ECS"
I thought typical gamedev was event based?
He then goes on to say "Yeah, no one uses ECS"
I am glad I didn't cancel on my new 10-year-old student.
Turns out he's pretty good.
teacher also learning from the student
no
That one was fun to see.

Nah. I bet they are hiding the details.

wierd, cyberpunk and ue5 crashed at the same time... VS was running so... ahh... yeah that'd do it LogD3D12RHI: Error: GPU Crashed or D3D Device Removed.
ue5 has been running in the BG for about 2wks, but things have started getting glitchy lately
When in doubt "Win+Ctrl+Shift+B"
the debug log in VS was showing a lot of spam about checking things and... shader compiles? or something? and then a lot of who knows what
whats that do

Reloads it in windows basically
I think its reset now

crazy idea: in #engine-source I mentioned it's possible to run UE source between linux and windows with almost no issue, but UAT/UBT make dotnet dlls which differs between linux and windows.
Could it be possible to create a symlink which changes target directories based on OS?
the fact that you're sharing files with windows makes it volatile enough, but to swap links based on loaded os? madness
sure you can probably automate the link generation/modification with simple scripts
My pc could theory run the new doom game

Waiting in line probably
What if you reverse engineered it so you could cheat and teleport to the end of the line
That would be fun
I really should have organized my work better than "all processors go here"
I switched off my copilot a few months ago, it was becoming more nuisance than helpful
Somewhat related: did you hear Google's AI found a slightly more efficient algorithm for multiplying matrices?
Found a lot actually for various sized matrices

"All I really need to do is implement some AI states, should be easy"
Every processor .z = 0 except my gravity one that constantly applies -980. force each frame. Very odd behavior

It's a feature, not a bug.
Bro, spelling is not important.
Only intention matters.
That's why I am renaming UE to Unreal Bengine.
What is the problem?
the name
I think it was in American schools that it was decided it was okay to misspell things, so long as you got MOST of the spelling right.
Now, the trend is spreading.
I found the problem! Because of my specific combination of fragments, an Unreal processor was like "Oh! Me too!" and messing everything up
I believe Convent schools are still pretty strict about grammar and spellings.
Which is why parents want their kids studying there. 😄
na just a thing just noticed
this always catch me
So, you're saying that the fragments weren't arranged properly to unlock the secret!?
This one threw me at first.
I used to think it was Niagra falls, not Niagara falls.
Had to adjust my brain a bit there. 😄
They were sadly arranged to perfectly unlock the hidden secret bug

There're these things called timers, alarms, and clocks.
They help you remember to go to sleep before 2 a.m.
You know when you take something apart and it's like spread all over the ground
Right. But, don't take your alarms apart. 😛
you use those to wake up, not go to sleep!
Like the last 6 hours has been a perpetual state of "I took everything apart to put it back together better"
Those are single-core, old alarms.
Dual-core alarms can remind you to sleep, too.
Quad-core alarms tell you when you work and when you stop, too.

Comes with RoG dlc
except for the frame during montage transition
Yes i dont know why the mesh flips 180 degress when it finishes playing
Maybe because its root motion and the mesh rotates in it idk
Fix this further down the development line - 13-14 seconds - The final step on to the ground needs to be refined.
Slightly more urgent fix - 27th second - The left foot clips through the ladder.
Nicely done. 👍
Now, we need a proper looking human/alien, proper textures, nicer lighting, you know, the works. Get to work...
🔨
will delete any ladder parts that get in the way
It's more that the left leg is swinging to the right a bit too much at 27th second.
idk if i should try to use root motion for each step so the hands are perfectly aligned on the ladder
It'll get noticed by annoying players as they play the game.
So, keep a note of it for later fixes.
ugh
Also, I bet the problem will be more pronounced after you add textures.
Clipped normals tend to... stand out.
🤔 🤔
That dumb comment is not entirely wrong in terms of vision. It's what UE is ultimately envisioning. An engine where no one needs to know programming.
The utopia where you can make any game you want without any coding skills.
Given that fact I did croquettes myself but getting frozen ones now
It saves time and tastes better somehow

We did it. We beat apple corporate facism
On the other hand, we're letting even more people play Fortnite. Not sure which is worse.
What do you mean then they can spend more money on it and we get new UE features
If and when
What a difference that made, UE was a much better product before Epic started allowing Fortnite to dictate the development course.
Just gotta give them a few more decades 😂
Then you have this other case where users bash Apple but praise Valve, even though both are using the same predatory business practices.
What a stupid world we live in nowadays.
Feel it's more about lesser evils nowadays.
Yeah but the cut they take from developers is exactly the same, no lesser evils there.
As I said, what a stupid world we live in nowadays.
There are movements that are attempting pushback
Against such practices
But without support they die

except steam don't prevent you from using other stores, or take a cut of revenue generated outside of steam
30% is a lot, but not what made Apple so scummy
Steam also provides more services to justify their cut than apple imo.
Apples just greedy imo
yeah, say what you want about the cut but at least it's a platform that's good to use on both ends
At least steam also seems to prioritize the user in most cases so gamers are not being shafted "as much".
granted, Epic's new revshare policy is great, but at the same time it's EGL so ehhhhh
Like telling developers they can't put ads in their desktop games
What a great feature
Yet Apple store doesn't care and mobile games are littered with ads
To the point it's unavoidable in most cases
My greatest fear is that UE6 will be Fortnite islands only
Same
UE6 - $250k studio license, UEFN6 - Free! Make and host your games on Fortnite! 💀
UE5 license is per major version afaik
you can dont upgrade and continue working in ue5.92
Good morning 🌞 ☕
I just woke up.
Sure sure
Yes yes.
Although I did sleep at 2:30 a.m. after causing an accident with my police car.
And being unwilling to file an accident report, put out flares, report myself, etc. etc.
It would be fun if we needed Unreal ™️ amounts of money to use the engine in the future. 🤣
But, no. Epic's winning big at the moment. UE is being adopted everywhere. Even that manufacturing company - SAS (or something) - used UE for an actual, physical manufacturing project.
We indie devs will be fine.
Although, there'll be MOAR features added that make the UI unusable for anyone without a brain chip.

So
Ps4 and xbox one has hardware limitations that caused 7 days to die and greenhell to stop receiving updates that the series X and ps4 get, along with pc
Yeah because they don't have enough memory no?
To handle the new level generation or w.e they added
"Allegedly"
Meanwhile ps4 can handle much much more intensive games... does hardware limitation code for we suck at optimizing so well just use consoles with better hardware to mask that
Greenhell has always ran like shit
Not sure that's a good thing
There's something about survival games that always cause them to run poorly the longer the saves been played
Probably the procedural generation?
You mean to tell me they didn't use anything procedural to generate anything on that map.
However that is a problem with 7 days to die random gen map
When so much of it is seen floating lol
Trees, plants, animals. Yes
Just because it's not based on a seed or generated every play through
Doesn't make it not procedural
They most definitely didn't place every tree
Here’s a low poly sword asset dedicated to Khorne which was modelled and UV unwrapped in Maya and textured in Substance Painter. This time, I decided to apply finer details purely through material editing rather than baking a high poly sculpt.
With that being said, I think this may be my best work yet, so enjoy!
It only generates new stuff if you leave the chunk or sleep
@summer cedar Are you ready to wield the sword?
It should be more like Runescape Dragonwilds
Just cut stumps and nothing comes back
Generation isn't even the problem
Why not
What
I can easily find the direction of my base from very far away because it starts lagging like crazy when I look in the direction of the fire pit . distance doesn't seem to matter which means its rendering that chunk constantly even when not visible
Which we all know is baaad
7 days to die looks like a much different game on pc tho
Good look it looks amazing on pc
They should optimize and let modders make new content
How many people on pc play games without modding
That makes it tolerable
Too many
Especially given how easy steam makes modding
Some games disable stuff like achievements now if you mod
Because "cheaters"
Even if it's just some silly survival game
Who really cares about achievements
Apparently some people
Most games these days have shit achievements
Bring back the days of gears of war achievements
You just play the game casually and you can get all achievements
Till this day I haven't unlocked the kill 1,000,000 locusts achievement
Or was it 100,000
Probably both
One on a different game
There was this one too, https://www.xboxachievements.com/game/gears-of-war-2/achievement/18123-party-like-its-1999.html
So much so people made a guide to cheeseball the achievement
It's the chapter where you're riding on the thingy that dizzy is driving
Don't need a guide, just common sense. The one chapter where a fuck ton of locust spawn that are actually killable
Your telling me you never looked at a gamefaqs write up
That site that hasn't changed their ui from the early 2000s look?
Ofc

omg
This idle slime rpg mobile game is good
You can actually progress without being forced to buy things with money
Swords are old-fashioned. Double-blessed heavy bolters are the way to go.
Kornitus can go screw himself.

Speaking of, I need to record some gameplay videos today. Finished chapter 22 yesterday.
Should start some work on the splash screens for the other two game projects, too.
Hurry up already
Why? I already have videos scheduled until mid-June. 😄
Meanwhile I'm searching for solutions to deforming landscape that's not VHM
and hopefully not voxel
Because that's expensive
Voxel Plugin Legacy (version currently on the marketplace) is in end of life support. We will continue to push bug fixes but no additional features will be added. There's also no strong guarantee on future engine releases being supported.Purchasing Legacy will give you a perpetual license to 2.0 when it will be released, and a perpetual license ...
Voxel, shmoxel. If your landscapes aren't fully AI-powered, you're outdated.
I'm really curious how good of a model I could run locally
Probably better sources but this could give a estimate of what you can run I'm sure, https://sillytavernai.com/llm-model-vram-calculator/
I Built an LLM Hardware Calculator.

I feel like we're getting pretty close to home AI being really really good for <$5k
I do but larger models need more vram
Get a gpu specifically to offload ai tasks
The big APUs from Apple and AMD are the closest imho
Actually, from that thumbnail, I imagine he is holding M4 and Strix Halo
I'm excited for Nvidia to enter CPU space
I am dreading x86 vs ARM for desktop
Camm2 is exciting
If it becomes the standard for ddr6, I'll probably put off a pc upgrade until then
Make our gpus require nvmes
expandable vram
I hope one day, we'll have just one big component for the entire PC.
CPU + GPU + RAM + Storage all in one.
The sphere of power!
single capacitor blows and your out $2000
probably more like $500, given cost of production will come way down with fewer stuff to make.
But, that's okay. We'll have many spheres of power to steal/rent/buy.
It's really nice to read comments appreciating one's work. 😄
"I should make this a plugin so I can easily port it to my actual game"
Made it a plugin, now it takes like 45 seconds to port to a new project!
Add a mass entity, put my fragments on it, automagically works
Yup, I did that with my inventory system and my map gen system. Tho neither are setup as well as they could be for seamless integration, both require some setup
but still, sooo much easier
Map gen 😮
yeah, its nice but it has a loot of issues and limitations, things I havent figured out yet
sad thing is, I was looking thru an older project, and it felt more complete and closer to being a game than any project I've done since.... and the art for the map I think was nicer...
makes me sad 😦
Gamejams op
You get to make a whole game
And because your challenge is "finish this in X time" instead of "figure out how to build something"
You get the dopamine when you finish, instead of like "ahh, all of my systems work now, time to quit"
for me its "ok the base systems are in place.... now what?" then get hit with depression and distract myself with a purchased game for a while, then start a new project
I've probably started over 200+ projects now and had maybe 3 finished playable projects
I havent started that many actual projects, but probably around 10? One got playable but needed lots of work. Only thing I've "finished" was a flappy bird clone as a test
Some of it's just starting stuff to look at things or test an asset pack
1 out of 1 complete.
3 ongoing.
I've weirdly also not started very many actual projects
When you implement zero gravity ragdoll physics
I've just been working on the 1 on and off for years
yeah I've got several dozen little tests of various things
Excluding tutorial projects
i'm still on MyProject2
OH, I had a VR project that was pretty playable, but I didnt have the game menu stuff I think
no idea what happened to MyProject1, probably just some testing...
i'm stubborn, my project scope is probably keeping me busy for a decade 😄
One of my issues I think is aiming too big, so my latest project (started monday) has a much smaller scope.
Be working into UE7
My scope is "just make Furi again except you herd sheep"
Yeah like who's making a gta game solo
That's why you make lots of project planning stuff.
Make it an MMORPG too!
Quick Windus lets make gta 6
So, when you forget what you were doing, you can get back quickly.
Base it in India
Project Management MkV skills - necessary.
Dubai Gta
No. GTC is better.
Most of mine were RPGs, and I thought small enough to handle, but life and my brain gets in the way
Grand Theft Continental?
You could totally make GTA 1 solo
Maybe not gta 3 or 4
Swords, katars, daggers, chakrams - all usable weapons, as you steal and mount one cow after another.
Anything with in-depth characters
and stuff like that
Without ai slop
Need a team of writers
GTA is outdated. GTC is where the next franchise is at.
Varieties of cows available. Smuggle milk in an anti-milk world.
I always get stuck at the world creation/level design point. Which is why I made the map gen, but still need artwork but I suck at that too
Just uh learn from this guy https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gcd7tpOOP6M
This is a short clip from an interview with Trilogy Media, I will be releasing the full edit in the near future!
But yeah, I am totally down for GTC.
Hang around smort people
You make the cows, Lucifer, I'll make the aliens.
We'll have God Todd make combat animations.
Don't be the smartest person in the room
i like a monk quote on that... "you are not who you think you are, you are who you think that i think that you are"
I thought that was Tony Hawk
Na just some cyber security content creator
woo, that was an easy fix. my wall jump was making my character launch super high into the air... 😄
The real wisdom is, "You are not who you think you are, but three. The one you think you are. The one others think you are. And the one you really are."
The best way to bypass all walls. Jump over.
The Mexicans figured that out with the border walls.
sigh, off to work 😦
Call in sick
So, just the project as soon as you create it.
Should've found love by then if that's the condition
why is free marketplace stuff always somehow... like this
that's a construction script for a LightPole which connects to others with splines, running the same logic 5 times, because the number of connections is fixed 😄
Need more functions
Also for just a lightpost why
Lol
There's that one factory asset that has a pretty good lightpost bp
06.10.2021 Update Props are included in the package.Factory Environment This package has a 100+ meshes.DISCORDVideo and documentation will be added soon.It is very simple to use, you can get as many designs as you want with these assets, there are more than 7+ types of glass different from each other, you can make a factory as high and tall as y...
Maybe it's bad 🤷
All I know is it's not many nodes
guess i'll just make my own one day when i'm bored
yea, as long as you don't see them popping in and out
to me looks like alight pole
Tbh I have code that looks the same
was about release a Plugin BP, but turns out the constructed actors in BP don't move to shipped games lol
Reminds me of a horse anim asset I got that was setup in level bp
So bet that replied your question
In Blueprints if you don't add manually the components in the BP, they will never show in shipped game @celest musk
that's maybe because is fixed?
In C++ only for the Constructor from what I know
in runtime yeah sure you can
in both, after the play
i'm still not understanding what the 3rd, not working, way of adding components is
I'm starting to understand why people use state trees instead of like yoloing it
whats wrong with yodelling?
I'm still thinking if this is good
States trees for some elements I noticed it's as easy as have a switch function in between, using the trees needs functions everywhere
My eyes are like glazing over trying to keep state decision in one place
My only issues still manage thebtime count, given the tick count gives improper results
but what if 50 ticks pass on my PC in the time it takes yours to do 10?
fucking Fab
