I cannot find a "general design" channel, so I am going to post it here. I am toying with a mech based game, with mostly automated weapons. The mechs are composable, so you have legs, body (possibly rotatable, possible with a weapon), arms (possibly weaponized), weapons attached to the arms, shoulders, etc. Lots of weapons, and by extension, lots of possible things which target other things.
Now the fringe problem. Lets say I have a body with a cannon on the front, which also has arms that can have guns. These can "aim" independently. However, that is only half true. Because the bodys horizontal aim would be rotating the body. Its possible that the body in order to aim rotates such as the arms can no longer reach their target, or a number of similar combinations. Basically "aiming conflicts".
So I am brainstorming how I can deal with this properly. Currently my mind is rolling around the concept of "aim priority", as in "which weapon controls the primary aim, and other weapons will release their aim if the priority aiming object rotates it out". If anyone has any alternative suggestions or ways to refine this, I would be all ears.

graceful sequoia

austere rune
How does the aiming/targeting actually work?
literally automatic. the player only controls activating/deactivating weapons and movement of the legs, all active weapons pick targets and blast (with some timeouts)
foggy path
Yeah not sure how else you'd really do it than priority aim in a case like that ๐ค

right, the question is "which weapon cannot hit their target"
celest musk
well i used it, but never finished the mod
foggy path
you could probably linetrace or sphere trace if you want the weapons to fire when it's "close enough"
so anything which can't hit via the trace could just pick a new target
austere rune
one sec uploading an example to youtube which may help the visual.
celest musk
doesn't the player control the head/upper body rotation?
austere rune
no
austere rune
this is meant to be a cross between armored core and vampire survivors.
regal pecan
I am reminded of a particular game that chose to build around this problem by making it the defining combat mechanic.
austere rune
so like, for the most part the "gameplay" is selecting and choosing drops, and making those sorts of decisions against huge waves of enemies
celest musk
maybe calculate the combined fire power to figure out which get priority, e.g. if both arm cannons do more damage, they take priority over the head
regal pecan
Stratosphere: Conquest of the Skies
Basically, you flew a plate covered in turrets. Each turret had its own range, firing arc, firing method, and direction.
Crucially, the firing arcs were displayed visually on screen and you would click on them to fire the weapons with the associated firing arcs.
austere rune
maybe calculate the combined fire power to figure out which get priority, e.g. i...
its not as simple as "damage" unfortunately. for instance, some weapons will be heat based, some will be electric, some will be projectile, some will be explosive. the idea is that players will have to balance their energy and heat and damage and make decisions about what to set "active" when
celest musk
what if the player can toggle the priority?
austere rune
thats an interesting notion, though I cannot visualize a great control scheme for it
celest musk
numbers?
austere rune
currently, my thoughts are something like an mmorpg type system, user presses a number to activate, and same number to unactivate
however actually sorting them by priority?
celest musk
oh, so the numbers are already used to toggle them, hmmm
austere rune
right, the gameplay is turn on and off things (if you just ran around with everything on all times you would either overheat, run out of power, or run out of ammo, etc)
celest musk
just some reachable/reconfigurable key, e.g.: Q
austere rune
ah, so like a quick menu, click and change order? that may work.
celest musk
visualizing what has priority should be certainly easy
yea, just switch through all activated, guess you'll have an indicator of which are active
austere rune
kinda like the FF10 ai system
celest musk
that could have an icon like a star or something, which indicates that the weapon has priority
austere rune
swap orders
yeah I think having a pullout menu to specific order your weapons aim priority sounds like a good setup
foggy path
depending on how the activation system works you could simply have the most recently activated take priority
so if the player wants another weapon to take priority, they could just doubletap the button for it
which should be pretty straightforward even if it's already active
austere rune
depending on how the activation system works you could simply have the most rece...
I may be overthinking this, but I think I actually need a priority order not just a priority selection.
which would make that really hard to juggle for a user
foggy path
why are the weapons not targeting the same thing anyway?
celest musk
guess heat would target biological stuff, while electric weapons would go for electronic devices, etc.?!
austere rune
mostly a gameplay decision. the idea is these will be mostly huge swarms of smaller enemies, occasional turrets, and much more rarely an alternative mech
well no, heat would be a way to disable many mechs.
celest musk
i see, so they overheat
austere rune
it would also allow me to use level design to make different types of mechs more or less usable
your in a volcanic type scenario with a lot of ambiant heat? well then your gonna want low heat weapons, and filling slots with AC
regal pecan
Worst case, the meta is to make a lazorbeam mech with tons of narrow forward-firing weapons and just spin frequently.
austere rune
but possibly heat weapons to cause enemy mechs to malfunction
possibly, I am thinking I am going to balance out laser weapons with them being a lot of friggen battery drain
foggy path
It does seem that the other weapons should just fire at whatever is the best target within their current arc whilst one of them controls the overall direction I guess
austere rune
tbh everything but the arms probably will be facing forwards. but note that the core rotates 360 on the legs
perhaps that is the restriction I need, core controls primary aiming, everything other then core only acts within the range the core gives it (rotation range)
celest musk
i can see the end boss.... a mech with 10 spinning cores so that he isn't limited by those restrictions ๐
austere rune
haha, everything does only have 1 core and 1 legs
regal pecan
I'm having trouble picturing it. You control a mech that moves on a 2d plane, and have no control over where the mech aims its torso, and the mech might have weapons that don't aim forwards, and the problem is how to deal with the mech deciding what to aim at if ... some unspecified condition.
celest musk
yea i don't like that concept either
regal pecan
Condition being: Forward guns is overheated and sideways guns should take over for a moment?
or: Sideways gun is better against this particular target, so the mech should fight sideways.
celest musk
i would give the player control over the rotation, either by direct mouse control, or by a target which he can move around in the world
austere rune
how would you map this reasonably to a controller?
celest musk
it's not that hard
austere rune
for a user? I mean if one axis controls the body , and one controls rotating the core, that seems nausiating (could just be me)
regal pecan
Twin stick shooters are fairly popular.
celest musk
depends on the perspective
austere rune
close to top-down.
celest musk
is it bird view, or side?
regal pecan
But they're also very much dependent on twitch speed more than the strategy-like decisions you're advertising.
austere rune
bird view.
celest musk
and target platforms are?
austere rune
anything with a controller and PC.
celest musk
so desktop
celest musk
i think that should work fine, without causing nausea
at least you should give it a try
austere rune
what would you have the core rotation map to? A look at position like a cursor, or directly controlling the rotation?
celest musk
both seem fine, i think controlling a target in the world would be more pleasant
as you can easily aim close/far
regal pecan
Although that makes it mouse-only in most cases, unless... maybe a springy stick control?
austere rune
that's what I am worried about, I do not want it mouse only. I have seen games that use a joypad to move a cursor though.
regal pecan
Directly controlling the rotation usually feels moer sim-like. Good for slower pace and strategy games.
austere rune
if I made the cursor basically local to the mech (as in , local space not world space), so one joy controlled the mechs position (in world space), and the other joy controlled a local-space target position that moves with the mech (used only for rotation, basically a direction vector). I could then display the area of effect of the various weapons over top of the map basically during action.
how does that sound?
that would probably avoid the need for needing to manage aim priority
zinc matrix
what makes this stuff "nostalgic"? ๐ค I kind of get what you mean though
the sound, the instruments, probably those quick notes, you just feel that shit and therefore it's hard to explain it with words ๐

Hi guys? Anyone want to help me on my crypto blockchain dream MMORPG game? I need a programmer, modeller, sound designer, you'll get paid nothing (for now but maybe you can have in-game content or something) you need to be a team-player, smart, always willing to do more work. DM me (#Stutter0205) if you're interested.

the ones that exist for snow prints are nice, but they mostly rely on shadowing to see the prints (and the shadows disappear when walking a certain distance all the time, so making em hard to see)
celest musk
or just look into UE5 fluid/gas simulation...
dark sequoia
eventually i will, when I switch to UE5 that is
not a top priority right away though
quasi mantle
sticking with UE4 sure ignite some jealousy, heh
I just don't want to waste some work porting over engine modifications and all the plugins and C++ game code
dark sequoia
yeah my main thing is i had only just recently started using UE4 sometime last year. the other thing being the many plugins that I have that'll break (as well as some of my own stuff, possibly). oh and how I keep literally everything in one single project, making it very large, so migrating that would be a pain
quasi mantle
"bruh just port it over to UE5 even if it breaks lmao"
dark sequoia
basically if I start using UE5, it would be when I wanna start off completely fresh with everything.
which, knowing me, will happen eventually but not quite yet
celest musk
if you even consider that, your project cant be to large to be ported now
dark sequoia
what would be considered too large, I wonder
quasi mantle
In my case it would be worse
- Porting over the engine modification, who knows what changed in 5.1 release
- Porting ALL the plugins AND making sure they all work with UE5 code
- Porting ALL the C++ code AND making sure they all work with UE5 code
- Processing the source assets for Nanite AND Fallback LOD meshes
- Making sure low settings works without Lumen and provide consistent visuals
- Reworking the entire animation system to make use of UE5 new features (which some of them I already reinvent in UE4)
- Reworking the UI system (which also have C++ code and fills the gap that UE5 common UI fills)
- Changing the world composition map to world partition map
I'm sure Ben doesn't consider it too large to be ported over, but eh
dark sequoia
in your case it would be worse yeah, due to your personal changes to the engine
im sure for me, things would be completely fine, i just dont feel the need to atm
dark sequoia
that is also the core reasoning too :3
celest musk

quasi mantle

celest musk
have you already tried porting it?
dark sequoia
another good reason to change would only be because i want to take advantage of the new features. which i havent desired/needed to yet
quasi mantle
I haven't.
My project used a modified 4.27
celest musk
then don't even get started with why you wont port

we happy few was the worst game I was compelled to complete. It has a ton of great ideas and the setting + story are well done. But it's let down by the bland gameplay. The random generation was really its downfall - the premade sections are by far the best parts of the game and the rest just feels like padding.
Unfortunately it was always meant to be randomly generated - which does somewhat lend itself to the story they wanted to tell, but it just doesn't work as well as something more handmade for what they actually ended up building.

the problem with big stuff is, you can't think about what to simplify. it's human tendency to complicate things.
but if that's what you do for months, you will start thinking in very simpler terms
and making simpler projects forces you to do it quicker because well
you learn to set simple goals and not change the goalposts first thing

ok so far in my suite of tests to find out if its me or if its unreal:
- full windows memory test: no issues
- 30m of VRAM testing in OCCT, no issues
- 30m of 3D Standard in OCCT at shader level 3 with error detection, no issues
- currently running a 30m of 3D Standard at shader level 8, nothing so far
im starting to think this is something doing a stale pointer write

yeah
it actually happened on the icons in the editor too
or, rather, the icons were corrupted

i havent reverified since then-- but i also havent relaunched it yet
figured id take some time to run diagnostics

5.0.2. now im looking at disks-- both UE and my project are on a new samsung 980 pro NVMe drive

could also try to switch to vulkan for testing
graceful sequoia
any feature limitations on vulkan? nanite/lumen/etc all good there?

thats fine, not using it currently
yeah i might give that a shot if none of these hardware tests show anything useful
im wondering about the SSD though
perhaps reads are going bad
celest musk
could be possible
graceful sequoia
that would explain it, because the corruption i see is never permanent, its not on disk
celest musk
try crystal disk info or however that tool is called, to read the SMART report of the disks
graceful sequoia
so maybe the read goes wrong 1 in a 1000 times
celest musk
it should notice bad reads tho
graceful sequoia
it is

and show total read errors over the life time of the disk
