Depends what you're doing but Object.keys(whatever).length would do it
it won't count properties from the prototype though so ymmv

Object.keys(data.items).length is ok here?

We can be a non-vat paying firm and only pay 3% of invoices and another 5% of profits per year

I charge 0% VAT since I sell to the US mostly and there's a tax deal with them

PAYG is the one I hate, thats like some employee superannuation thingo
median wraith

foggy path
yeah that's how it works here too, if you employ someone you withhold money off their salary that's paid in taxes and things like pension insurance
I don't employ anyone so don't have to deal with it, and it would be such a hassle that I would really need a big reason to hire someone to deal with it :P
much easier to hire someone as a contractor to do stuff if needed because then it's handled as a regular business to business deal rather than employment contract
pearl elk
well thats the issue here is people were using contractors to get around having to do PAYG so we have a minefield to go through on whether or not you have to do it or not

people often want faster compilers, compilers are mostly slow because they spend quite a bit of time optimizing your code. so if you make your compiler optimize better, then recompile your compiler with your new compiler, your compiler is now faster.
zinc matrix
There are several different ways. The one in the original question really isn’t a bad way to do it. Adding sets DOES increase work capacity. Let’s say you can do 3 sets of 3 with 315 on squat. What’s easier? Trying to go 325 3×3 (assuming you’ve exhausted your linear gains), or doing another single with 315 at the end? The single, obviously. Then a double the next session, then a triple the one after that. Once you could do 6-8 triples, you could drop back to 3 sets, and probably go 335 3×3 and do it all over again. That’s a 20-pound increase in about 2 months. Not too shabby. The key is that adding one rep per session isn’t all that taxing on your body over your established baseline. Then when you drop back to just 3 sets, it’s less volume than you’ve grown accustomed to, setting you up nicely for the subsequent re-ramping of the volume.
what does he mean with 6-8 triples?

im curious from a C++ angle, where did you feel like you really needed C++ over BP for performance, or was it more of a comfort situation as you've already done C++?
worthy palm
uhh.. tbh I'm still scared of C++ not going to lie
but I'm comfortable programming in other languages
graceful sequoia
fair, if you dont need it / want it you shouldnt use it 🙂
graceful sequoia
nice
C++ can be intimidating when you're used to GC'ed languages like C# and Java-- especially because the language is insanely complicated
worthy palm
I also have other language experience (Js, python, etc) so I'm very comfortable programming in general
but C++ is a whole nother animal. I've had the luxury of not worrying about the low level stuff before
worthy palm
C++ can be intimidating when you're used to GC'ed languages like C# and Java-- e...
yup 💯
graceful sequoia
right-- getting crashes with access violation on 0x0000000053
my experience with GC'ed languages says "thats not a null pointer ref"
but it is
worthy palm
now with that all said, I want to be able to optimize if I want later. if I need something like ticks running, various multi-sphere/line traces, etc... then I'd like for them to be as performant as I can make them
and I know that's one area where BPs struggle with
graceful sequoia
i mean its not really the line trace itself
but the overhead of the call that invokes it
if you are doing a line trace every tick, the BP runtime overhead is going to bite you
just like the difference between running a Java function versus something running in a native thread in C/C++
worthy palm
Yeah. I have light mechanics I need to incorporate and those will be running traces to various sockets on various skeletal meshes each frame
graceful sequoia
I got bit here, I love high level languages
but also not understanding the event driven nature of UE (look at that shiny Tick event just sitting there in every BP I make, surely this is fine)

graceful sequoia
if it isn't grey/transparent/ghosted then there technically is a slight overhead
absolutely
graceful sequoia
I just meant I don't like how complex and tedious they can sometimes be
yeah a bit ago I converted my first major section of bp to cpp
worthy palm
now why are you using C++?
worthy palm
^
graceful sequoia
now why are you using C++?
I am using cpp for this section because of perf
I have hundreds of characters all following this general patrol system I've built
this includes humans, rabbits, deers, enemies, everything
the v1 was assessing patrol status on tick
worthy palm
ahh I see
graceful sequoia
but not only that, the way it determines what patrol points are viable is by tags
I needed to be able to assess the next patrol point performantly including caching the patrol points by tag
and the patrol point system is complex-- it factors in nearby patrol points, time of day, quest status, etc
the new version in c++ properly caches patrol points (with busting if needed) and also moves everything to events, like overlap with the patrol point actors sphere for instance
I could have left it in BP if I just changed it to events, but I have a need to dig into the engine for other reasons so I need my c++ fu to be strong before I try
the other reasons is "crowd avoidance"
which is pretty bad in UE to be honest
the crowd manager system is at best barely functional
worthy palm
Damn my dude. yup definitely seems like you have a strong use case for it
graceful sequoia
detour unreal answers says, detour
detour barely works, if you line up ten characters in a row that are not moving, detour can't get around it
sure, it will produce reasonable results in less edge-case scenarios but it's still kind of bad
so my intent is to write a new one
that's why Ive been interested in what glassbeaver is doing- they are looking to have 1mil units pathfinding reliably
worthy palm
Ahh interesting. I've barely dipped my feet in AI in general. but luckily I don't think I'll have many issues. I'll be going with a finite state machine to drive my AI behaviour
graceful sequoia
but they seem to be deferring crowd avoidance so far
graceful sequoia

turned on RTX on cyberpunk and i was genuinely blown away by how beautiful it looked. nevermind my 15 fps 🤦♀️
graceful sequoia
the 3080ti kills it on CP - at least with DLSS
got full 60fps

looks great, not sure i want to replay the game though

yup! I've been at it for a few years, btu haven't completed any projects (unity)

yeah I personally love the game. haven't finished it yet of course. but don't know how much replayability it has at the moment
though CD projekt red is famous for their DLC
graceful sequoia
...which is behind schedule but yeah
cant say i didnt expect that
given how shit the launch was
worthy palm
oh yeah I'm not too shabby at unity. tbh. but the projects I was working on.. i just lost motivation for
graceful sequoia
i started the project im on in unity
and quickly got to the point where it wasnt feasible-- im not a 3d modeller, im a developer, and i have all these ideas and unity gives you too little. Bear in mind, I literally have built implementations of the Common Language Runtime (ie .NET) myself
so it was an obvious first attempt for me
shell garden
ew .NET
worthy palm
literally have built implementations of the Common Language Runtime (ie .NET) myself
though I don't know what this means, it sounds impressive 😄
graceful sequoia
it just means implementing ECMA-334 and -335
nbd
mono did it, its not that hard
worthy palm
yeah I love unity. and I actually like their component model quite a bit. but there are limitations I was struggling with (definitely my fault with design issues), render pipeline issues, etc
my main problem was like you said, art
graceful sequoia
yeah I love unity. and I actually like their component model quite a bit. but th...
art is definitely a factor on both, but unreal marketplace is just stocked to the brim with available content
but the component model is wrong
i dont like it at all
worthy palm
art is expensive. though I can get around unreal I'm not a modeler, and I'm not a 2d artist either
I shelved a 3d and 2d game even though i wrote quite a bit of the framework for it
graceful sequoia
it basically forces everything to be on-tick, and theres no straightforward systems for inter-component-communication
im sure youll point to me how thats changed but
unreal's actor focused system is the right tradeoff
cursive crypt
worthy palm
I managed to not use any ticks as far as I'd gotten except for movement controls, and light bilboarding
cursive crypt
To interrupt your dialogue
worthy palm
utilizing delegates and events, can get aroudn that mostly.
graceful sequoia

that is correct except for index
cursive crypt
I have no f idea. Never used them
worthy palm
what I really liked was their preference composition vs inheritance.
graceful sequoia
I managed to not use any ticks as far as I'd gotten except for movement controls...
nice, yes, delegates and events are the way to go-- ideally no ticks, but if its one thing that seems impossible to do with events then thats a win
worthy palm
https://i.redd.it/5y6thv6h9mb71.png
I'm sad I missed out on the steam controller. it looks really nice tbh especially for non fps games
graceful sequoia
it just seems to be more of a PITA in unity than unreal but i dunno
graceful sequoia
what I really liked was their preference composition vs inheritance.
composition is always preferable but unreal lets you do that too with the Component system
on the other hand
worthy palm
it just seems to be more of a PITA in unity than unreal but i dunno
yeah! I just notice that most projects and resources for unreal don't really break it up that way

oh when it comes to the default stuff epic gives you, theres a problem
take for instance ActionRPG template where i started from
they give you two character classes, PlayerCharacter, EnemyCharacter, it seems logical to extend that to NPCCharacter or something
but yo
most of that shit should be just up at a base character class
the ActionRPG template doesnt even have one
worthy palm
lol
graceful sequoia
its setting you up to fail
worthy palm
yeah, when you're somewhat experienced with game dev, it's really the architecture that gets you
graceful sequoia
after building a lot of my game under the model that seemed to be right according to the ActionRPG template, i went ahead and rearchitected so that it all lived in the common base class
now i can possess any character in the game as if it was PlayerCharacter
waattt??
worthy palm
it's hard to find the right patterns for architecting mechanics if you haven't done them before. and unfortunately examples often aren't up to par
worthy palm
lol
graceful sequoia
it did not teach you where things should be placed to enable that sort of thing
i can be an eagle, or a bunny
an NPC, or the player character, or an enemy character
whatever
all the HUD, the controls, everything work
you should definitely do that
worthy palm
lol. please tell me i can be a bunny in your game
graceful sequoia
actually... yes that is a thing
its still in-dev but in game a "possession" skill would let you possess any character*, like a shop salesman, or a guard, or a rabbit
with gameplay limitations
worthy palm
damn that's awesome
graceful sequoia
well, everything-- the limitation will be the mana of the possessing character
and the actions that you choose to do
worthy palm
dude. please start a devblog
worthy palm
i kinda want to play that

it's like that lego movie song
"everything is awesome"
once you start becoming super tiny things it's really cool
and the Alan Watts narration about ontology and existentialism fits very well
worthy palm
the damn animations tho 🤣
shell garden
honestly i think the animals were an afterthought added as a framing device
shell garden
is ok
graceful sequoia
not trying to do just that
graceful sequoia
but overall yeah you can play ( temporarily ) as whatever you want
it will depend on the character you play as to do the possessing
the game is set up for you to have a group of 4-5 playable characters in the party, switchable at will
real palm
Galaxy, ant, shopkeeper, boat, goat?
graceful sequoia
honestly I'm sure I'll decide to add multiplayer at some point which is a big scope creeep
graceful sequoia
but for now, it's single player, and the focus is on making combat and other things workable for a single player controller
graceful sequoia
it already is kinda scopey
yeeeeeeaaaapp
thats why I'm not shipping it for a few years at least
realistic about how this is going to go
real palm
You're not just doing arbitrary possessables, but something reliant on the already possessed thing
graceful sequoia
yes
real palm
If that's not tightly bound that's going to get combinatoric quick
graceful sequoia
and, you know, a single player story in a world building world
as a single dev
I'm sure it'll be fine :-)

It's not that I'm called out as much as maybe people above me are

actually it's funny cause you could argue I work on predatory cosmetics but I'm ...
well its predatory if its a lootbox
if you want to say, sell a specific makeup loadout for some money, thats not the predatory part
real palm
Oh, no, I don't work on Madden
worthy palm
predatory cosmetics? is that even a thing?
real palm
Yeah
graceful sequoia
Oh, no, I don't work on Madden
is... is this a thing? lootboxes for... football makeup??
real palm
predatory cosmetics? is that even a thing?
So hypothetically let's say that you know a significant portion of your audience will be bullied for not having a certain look. You could make a cosmetic in such a way that to get all of it you either play for weeks ... or pay money to get it.
worthy palm
nah, football shaped. soccer ball texture
graceful sequoia
So hypothetically let's say that you know a significant portion of your audience...
that is a good point
worthy palm
So hypothetically let's say that you know a significant portion of your audience...
ahh. i do remember playing fortnite, and noskins being a thing
real palm
You're taking advantage of that segment of the audience to prey on their external need to not be bullied
graceful sequoia
well rest assured, my game will have 100% lootbox microtransactions that cost upwards of the cost of a new GPU
[yeah fuck no]
real palm
That's not a practical example because it's so personal to the hypothetical victims
But now, say you introduce gambling and notice players can't get enough
and then you just lean hard into that
That was lootboxes
graceful sequoia
Literally any of that is horrifying
real palm
But it can get worse
I forget who but somebody filed a patent to craft matchmaking queues such that high skill players would rekt you with cool cosmetics
graceful sequoia
right
real palm
and then you'd buy em and then the same skill of players would be on your team and they wouldn't have the cosmetic
worthy palm
ouch
real palm
or something very similar
worthy palm
yeah that definitely sounds very predatory
real palm
And it'd know you looked at a skin 30% longer than others
graceful sequoia
A big thing to mention here ---- if you are independent right now, and you are thinking of taking money from someone for your game, this is the level of bullshit you're risking
graceful sequoia
and this is happening in all the AAA games where the interests in those companies is so varied that this is expected and typical
real palm
I'll say this isn't happening in all AAA games because I know it isn't happening in my game
worthy palm
I'm nervous about the greediness in games. I hope that consumers don't lose trust in devs in the future leading to another video game crash
real palm
And I wouldn't be out of the loop on this
graceful sequoia
I'll say this isn't happening in all AAA games because I know it isn't happening...
i... damn i want to know the game so i can buy it just to put the money where it should be but its reasonable not to share it on a forum like this
real palm
But every single game wants to drive retention
worthy palm
yeah @real palm are you at liberty to name the game you're working on?
graceful sequoia
i assume not until its public
real palm
so even if it isn't a direct "how can we get EVEN MOAR CASH" it'll be "how can we make it more difficult to stay away"
and that's gonna be predatory
Also. I won't be disclosing
graceful sequoia

graceful sequoia
having to deal with the company being like "yo thats not our opinion" can be a struggle
the tech industry at large has come to terms with this more, in the games industry it.... seems dicey at best
anyway, we are still learning all the ways game studios and publishers can make things predatory
worthy palm
can completely understand
well just in general. I wouldn't want to divulge my opinions about the market I work in, as well as our companies products if I had made that all publicly available informaiton. You may say something that may limit growth, or that the company may find offensive

So you haven't missed the announcement
graceful sequoia
assassin's creed
worthy palm
don't think we should try to guess this one
graceful sequoia
duke nukem forever 2
I'm kidding obviously
bringing it back to core though, why c++?
graceful sequoia
does the inventory system *really* need to be c++?
well no, but it makes it easier for a number of things
save game logic and primary assets come to mind
I still am unsure if you can actually use primary assets without any c++
even though I think I have told people on this discord that you can
worthy palm
yeah primary data assets can be made without C++ now
worthy palm
though I was wondering if I should bother make those to function as a database, or instead just have the data right on a BP struct
graceful sequoia
as a database in the sense you can query it?
that's probably far overkill than you need tbh
worthy palm
yeah I'm wondering if I'll need to query it
graceful sequoia
mine is just c++ structures that are saved in the save game as a named map, with the level+actor name as the key
just an array
worthy palm
I'm struggling to see the right structure for me, while at the same time not over-complicating
right now I just have a base Item class and a struct that holds all the typical item info
I'm thinking weapons will be a subclass of Item with another struct for weapon specific data
but, if I rip out the struct and instead put it into data assets, or a data table, then what do I get out of it? 🤷♂️
graceful sequoia
so inventories themselves for me are structs
but items themselves are primary assets
worthy palm
hmm. i don't have the inv as a struct, but rather a full actor component that holds an array of FItemData struct
graceful sequoia
/** Map of items to item data */
UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = SaveGame)
TMap<FPrimaryAssetId, FRPGItemData> InventoryData;
if I went with data assets, I'd need to make two files each time I make an item
one for the data asset, and one for the item BP as a sort of prefab for spawning the item
graceful sequoia
wait erm that tells you little
here
/** Map of inventories */
UPROPERTY(VisibleAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = SaveGame)
TMap<FString, FRPGInventory> Inventories;
this is the modern way ive got it set up
with each of those having
/** The number of instances of this item in the inventory, can never be below 1 */
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Item)
TArray<FRPGInventoryItem> Items;
each of those has
/** The number of instances of this item in the inventory, can never be below 1 */
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite, Category = Item)
FPrimaryAssetId ItemType;
each of these is
UCLASS(Abstract, BlueprintType)
class ACTIONRPG_API URPGItem : public UPrimaryDataAsset
each of those is a primary asset inheriting from URPGItem like UPotionItem for instance
/** Native base class for potions, should be blueprinted */
UCLASS()
class ACTIONRPG_API URPGPotionItem : public URPGUsableItem
{
GENERATED_BODY()
public:
/** Constructor */
URPGPotionItem()
{
ItemType = URPGAssetManager::PotionItemType;
Equippable = true;
}
};
that ends up as a Data Asset in the content browser like this
notice the Actor Type
that IP_Apple is the in-game actor type, which is this
so here the I_* is the "item primary asset"
and each one links to an IP_* which is the "in game actor"
if i want to spawn an apple from an I_Apple, i can do that
apple is kind of old here, most modern item actors are inheriting from a base class that lets me go the other way
and not just doing it itself like what IP_Apple does
worthy palm
🤔
Thanks for sharing! I do like data assets, just always seemed cumbersome. Though could probably make a custom editor to take care of the actual item creation
Anyways, really appreciate you showing it off! going to take a few to digest
graceful sequoia
well the joy of Data Assets is that you have the bulk editor available
so say i want to remap some stats of a bunch of items at once
worthy palm
didn't know that was a real thing.
and that right there is a really strong point
they can be subclassed as well right?
graceful sequoia
worthy palm
so that I can have a Item.Weapon data asset?
graceful sequoia
by the way look how creative i have been on the item description here
Tasty!
this is the joy[/CURSE] of having a lot of items 🙂
but hey, no one to blame but myself, bulk editor makes it easy
i do have weapons
worthy palm
lmao yeah my description for flashlight was something like
"A flashlight.. what do you expect?"
Favorite weapon
graceful sequoia
actually hard to put all items into a map (i mean bulk edit) because i have other data assets in the same space
if you bulk edit ones that have no common properties, well
youll have no common columns that you can add
you get the idea though
and all of these are referencable by FPrimaryAssetID, so the inventories need only reference them
which is fairly low cost
so far i havent had an issue tracking all the inventories in the game in the save file-- every chest, every character, etc
worthy palm
you get the idea though
yup. completely understand
