If you need tick based behaviour for a defined length of time, timelines are great

Intel suggested literally gating it in their optimization pdf
With a "was recently rendered"
blissful grail
But if you have something you want to execute once a second...just use the timer. The value in question is when you want to do an abnormally low number, IE - 0.01
Any changing of that value is simply not paying attention to the issue at hand

Ok thanks

We're not advocating against timers

What's important is understanding why something is bad, again in programming. There's always going to be a better way to do something. If it's not a bottleneck, it's not an issue. That's specially important when it comes to learning, that's my opinion. As they get better they will pick up better ways to do things. I don't know what the riot is about though

Getting back to this, Is it correct that Method A is better?
gentle urchin
Depends on tickrate and framerate
To make the point stand more out, make a heavy function iterating and doing some math on all actors in the world
Framelimit yourself to 30 fps
And compare the two
stone field
Timer has advantage of one less variable to keep track of : )
lunar sleet
Also depends on the use case, you cant really stop tick (afaik😅), but you can always pause or cancel timers
versed sun
Timer has advantage of one less variable to keep track of : )
Still TMR thing
lunar sleet
I mean aside from that bool check
zealous moth
Getting back to this, Is it correct that Method A is better?
method A is time dependent and frame independent. method B is frame dependent

No, it points at Set Local Health, it says right next to it
zealous moth
yeah it doesn't know what that is
lunar sleet
The target of Set Local Health is pointing at Africa
Whatever the target is was not set so fix that
Hard to tell from your screenshots but it’s prly the output of get ground ref that’s returning None at the time the code runs, so if this’ll run again later you can bypasss with an isValid check (fixes symptom)
Otherwise, you need to fix the actual cause
versed sun

yeah saving an actor ref only works if it was placed in the level afaik
what you need to do is go through the various info you want to save from the actor, then load it into the actor, or spawn it depending on circumstance
zealous moth
load game from slot, cast to save game, set data, save game to slot
versed sun
Are you saving Ref to Actors ?

thin panther

.
thin panther
that works unless they were spawned dynamically
(though you can save actor references of placed unchanging actors)
just go through each one and save the bool then
versed sun
Yah , it woundn't be the SAME one
thin panther
you dont need to save the whole item.
just save an array of boolean properties

red berry
Why is it that if you run the game, in the level editor's outliner > details tab, if you add an ActorComponent to an Actor (during beginplay), you don't see it under that actor? I can see the player's normal components (movement, custom ones I added), but it won't work for other Actors in game.
Basically if you call "AddComponentByClass", it won't show under the Actor in the Details tab in the editor.
If you had changes to actors in unity, you would see the changes in runtime in the editor.
fiery swallow
Why is it that if you run the game, in the level editor's outliner > details tab...
I'm not sure why it works that way in unreal, however you can always call "get component by class" and access it directly through code
Also when you add a component through code you can click on that node to directly change its runtime details
It's pretty much the same thing at that point

Does anyone know how to make a wall jump system? I found a tutorial online that ...
it depends on the type of wall jump. It sounds like the super metroid kind.
If you do 2D, you can use the "on hit" event to see when you hit a wall. make sure that you check if what you hit is perpendicular.
Afterwards, you can either reset the jump or launch your character in the opposite direction.
For inputs, it's EIS related
trim matrix

So when I hit a object with the answer to the equation it displays where the equation question orginally was as “answer correct” I might have to @ you later as having a break

are you doing blueprint communication?
trim matrix
are you doing blueprint communication?
blueprint communication i believe let me show you some visuals
zealous moth
show what you got
worst case, watch this @trim matrix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOUdrom37-Q&ab_channel=PendingKill
trim matrix
show what you got
so this is how it goes, the text "displays a math equation" the answer of the math equation will display on one of the gold coins -> when user hits correct answer object... i want the door to display Unlocked and the red to turn to green
gold coin blueprint is called "answer" the locked is called "open-close"
zealous moth
and you got multiples i guess?
trim matrix
of the coins? yea
zealous moth
@trim matrix so let me get this straight:
you got a BP for the coin answers
you got a BP for the equation
you got a BP for that locked thing, right?
Your best bet in that case is a blueprint interface.
Create a BPI with a single event, add the interface to the equation and the locked thing.
In the coin BP you can give it a wildcard public actor variable. Once set in the world, you can set that variable to be either the equation or the locked.
In your example, it would probably be a simple coin -> locked
trim matrix
<@456226577798135808> so let me get this straight:

ohhhhhhhhhhhh you don't need communication then
I thought all 3 things were separate

zealous moth
well based on what you've shown you have 0 interaction with your coins
how do you hit them? jump or touch them?
or walk into them?
zealous moth
i see they have collision boxes
zealous moth
ah, so it is separate
ahhh as child actors
kk gotcha
here's what you can do
in the coin
get parent -> cast to the class -> trigger event
alternatively, in the child, have a variable to refer to the parent and set that in the parent itself
trim matrix
get parent -> cast to the class -> trigger event
i get what your saying completely im just tyring to invision the logic with the blueprints
zealous moth
in your overlap event, when you overlap the coin, it tells its parent that it was overlapped. then the parent decides if the answer was good
trim matrix
so basically do i get equation and then cast the equation to the class and then do something to change the text
trim matrix
in your overlap event, when you overlap the coin, it tells its parent that it wa...

You can clear the list and filter yeah
just figure out the logic

It should be easy
frosty heron
Function ApplyFilterOnMyVerticalBox
OntextValueChanged -> Clear all children from Vertical box -> Get input -> If Input contain text value -> Add to child otherwise do nothing

you will need an exact data table row name
frosty heron
i can make another data table
that's not the issue >_>
wicked marten
doesn't look right to me from a glance
it does work if i remove the new function
gentle urchin
Row names cant have spaces etc
So for a user friendly search youd need to compare strings
Assuming theres spaces and partial hits in general
If you had the names as strings yoi could simply do "contains substring"
wicked marten
always the first row removes the spaces
gentle urchin
First row is row name
gentle urchin
How big is the DT
Nvm partial match
Nvm me
So get all row names
Then foreachloop
gentle urchin
Id probably store the actual names (not row names) in a array var in the widget
wicked marten
all first rows are unique
gentle urchin
Perhaps multiple depending on how it performs
wicked marten

sheesh finally
it was this simple
no need for help anymore 😅
wicked marten
edgy ingot
Create a new widget
wicked marten
i should i separate it
edgy ingot
Call it wbp_list or make some relevant name
wicked marten
ok wait
edgy ingot
In that widget have a text , turn it into variable
edgy ingot
Now make a function in the widget with vertical box. Call it display rowname
edgy ingot
Whats inside?
edgy ingot
You dont need logic or function in wbp list
The function should be placed in the widget with vertical box
wicked marten
edgy ingot
Also get rid of that veritcal box in wbp_list
edgy ingot
Then go back to the other widget where the vb is and create a function
Im kinda re iterating multiple times 
. Most ppl here are happy to help but we cant hold hands for hour.
wicked marten
edgy ingot
First thing to do is probably to clear the children of the vb
So u dont add on top of existing one if its already populated
Make the vb a variable
Go to your function, get the vb , clear all children
wicked marten
Go to your function, get the vb , clear all children
done

at search bar?
gentle urchin
Yep
edgy ingot
Yes for the ontext changed
edgy ingot
You can do it like this to display all name. I wouldnt butt in if squize have time to tell you tho cuz im sure he knows a better way
wicked marten
wait
edgy ingot
So for displayrowname do the same except no need to add to array. We will create widget instead
gentle urchin
You only wanna get the rows whos indexed in the filter outout tho

This
Read and do step by step
See if you get it
Abandon your existing logic for now
wicked marten
yap
gentle urchin
Stash it aside
old beacon
is anyone know about this? I'm trying to control the mass value of all physics bodies in a Physics Asset . I have to do it in BP. So, is there a node or any ways to approach the Mass value of Physics Body in Blue Print?
wicked marten
the output array is the integer one or the string one
wicked marten
there is string one
edgy ingot
From filtersearchname function
wicked marten
edgy ingot
Thats not part of the output, look at the function when you call it
Just do what squize says step by step
wicked marten
edgy ingot
First drop the set filter name next to on texr changed
edgy ingot
Hook the text to the stringDT
gentle urchin
Ditch the existing logic for now
Stash it aside.
Follow my step by step tutorial
One node at the time
wicked marten
wait
gentle urchin
On text changed -> filter search name -> foreachloop the output array -> get ro...
One node at a time
gentle urchin
Then connect the output array from the filter function into the foreachloop
(Connect the execs of the nodes)
wicked marten
gentle urchin
And plug the text from the EVENT into the StringDT input in the filter function
So we actually search for something....
Dont remoove the getrownames node
frosty heron
gentle urchin
Keep it in the middle there
wicked marten
gentle urchin
Connect it in the chain
wicked marten
wait u have 2 acc
gentle urchin
Otherwise it dont work..
frosty heron
ye im back to my pc now
wicked marten
wicked marten
ahahahah.. cant screenshot
gentle urchin
You messed up
You did something on your own
I didnt say you should connect row names to the foreachloop
wicked marten
gentle urchin
Yeah but you changed the foreachloop
We want to loop the found indexes
Not the row names
gentle urchin
But you still need to have getrownames connected
Yes
But get row names outside the loop
wicked marten
thanks
gentle urchin
So we only get the array conversion once
gentle urchin
This s correct, but in the wrong order
wicked marten
should i swap the DT row names with for each?

How do I make a child of a widget class?
New bp -> user widget

If you want to child an existing widget, select all classes and find your parent. Lass
wicked marten
but reconnect the chain?
gentle urchin
like that?
Yepp but with exevs connected in order 🙂
Correct
Could make it cleaner but thats for later 😄

Yes ! Yes yes yes !!

You have to create blueprint class then select your widget
gentle urchin
edgy ingot
Its not the same as bp actor where you right click to create child class
gentle urchin
Now you have your filtered list

still non
theres no error
but no more

you are supposed to throw the data to the widget - vertical Vb right?
there is nothing inside

You havent create widget and add child to it
Anyway gtg driving nephew , will check back kater
From the outrow u want to get the name
Create widget, add child to vb. Set the text to the nane from the out row

how to add to vertical box?

Thats not grabbing the vertical box ref
wicked marten

Before the get row names, make sure you clear the vertical box 🙂
the first get row names?
this vertical box?
gentle urchin
Yepp

is this right?

Yeah but target is the vertical box

Looks fine

Can someone help out, i have in my Level blueprint, a call for another blueprint overlap. In that blueprint however, There is 2 collider, one box and one capsule(caralarm)
I want the logic ONLY to fire if it hits the capsuel(caralarm)
But seems like it triggers the other one, as that is also in bp_car (the other one ends the game with a sequence)
Pls help
wicked marten
is this also good?
gentle urchin
my outputs here are gone also
One thing at the time amigo

@crude marlin don't use the level BP. Just make the overlap logic inside the actor being overlapped and use the component overlap event
wicked marten
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
crude marlin
<@239789089241563136> don't use the level BP. Just make the overlap logic inside...
i dont get it. the overlap should only happen if i find the actor on the level thats why i went with level blueprint. But even if, i put it inside the BP_Car how would i differensiate between the two colliders so that some logic only trigger by each ?
edgy ingot
Add it then set the text to the row name
tawdry surge
@steady night projectile path
edgy ingot
Then set the text to it

@tawdry surge wdym

@crude marlin level bp is not a good place for anything.
components have an overlap event also. you use the one from the component you want to run the logic
edgy ingot
Which one are u extracting?
tawdry surge
@steady night there is a node called predict projectile path, or something like that

Thnx , didnt know xD
edgy ingot
From the return value of the creatw wbp list, drag it and type get textblock
Then from that text block drag again and type set text
Then connect name to the set text input
wicked marten
edgy ingot
Wrong one. U want function for set text
edgy ingot
Ye connect name to in text
wicked marten
steady night
@tawdry surgehm i mean i wanna spawn a projectile with arc, velocity and arc its path so it hits target
is that what its for ?
edgy ingot
Also add to child vertical box make sure u connect the return value of the create widget to the content of add child node
Gtg again

It still starts everything on the other overlap also
This collision capsule is like 3000 area, and the other is just 200. So i dont get why it triggers the other that has the logic for ending the game. everything ends as soon as i reach this trigger.

oh thats why you made me a hidden BP
im starting to get the idea
crude marlin

I dont get what youre saying, im not starting inside a collision. I have 1 collider on the Car that starts a sequence for ending the game.
And this new collider should just play a sound. As in the pitcure. But it triggers the end sequence
wicked marten
this is actually the first time i practiced arrays

manic adder
having an index issue in a bp where i push boxes off from a procedural box-wall
what im trying to accieve: a light-up reaction of the items when acceleration change is above a treshold (they glow when the jerk is high)
what im stuck with: the item next to my current item remains set to glow indefinetly
steady night
@tawdry surge?
tawdry surge
You mean you want to predict the path it's going to take based on the physics or you want to adjust the path to force it to hit a particular target?
steady night
so im spawning a Projectile (with projectile component)
it has velocity & arc
need it to be spawned so it hits*
tawdry surge
You can use the node i mentioned to visualize the path it will take and it should be fairly easy to work out the angle and force required to make it a given distance
Could also just use the homing settings on the projectile component and let that worry about it
versed sun
It will arc if you aim higher
versed sun
Deer cast Reflect , its super effective!!
versed sun
Look like homing to 0,0,0 ?
steady night
yeah,
im setting it tho
and in projectile im applying at construction
or dose it need to be in Begin play ?

Hey quick question, what happens if you use the max of int array node and you have multiple indexes with the same max?
frosty heron
@wicked marten
versed sun
Test it , but probably return the Index of the first Int that is Max
Like , an array of {2,4,5,1,1,1,5} would return (2)
But , test it
plain cobalt
Yeah exactly it does that
I guess my question then becomes how to get all the indexes that have max value
Would you need to clear the array of the index that had the previously obtained max value and then check again, or is there another solution?
gentle urchin
You can store the maxes,
And clear if a new max shows itself
It would be the first max, by definition
Single iteration
versed sun
versed sun
oops, you wantd all indexes
gentle urchin
Single iteration would store the temp max in the loop
plain cobalt
Its important i keep track of the index numbers that are max value
gentle urchin
And if new max comes, clear the existing array and move on 🙂
Yeah obv the indexes is key
versed sun
plain cobalt
Wrapping my head around your bp one sec :D
versed sun
{2,4,5,1,1,1,5} would return {2,6}
plain cobalt
{2,4,5,1,1,1,5} would return {2,6}
Thats what Id want yes exactly
versed sun
Find Max value in array
Loop thru array, any value that == Max Value , add that Index to a list , and return
plain cobalt
This code assumes "Temp Max List" was initialised somewhere with the same index entries as "Array" right
versed sun
no, its a empty Local Var
plain cobalt
Or does adding something with an index number automatically bump up the array to that number
Oh wait it probably just creates a singular index that has the value you tell it to have, and doesnt care about the usual "logical" layout of it being 0,1,2,3 etc, right?
Im still learning how to handle all the logic, excuse me 😅
steady night
versed sun
yah , Int arrays suck cause all green
steady night
erhmm ?? now its finding the target atleast but wtf ?
plain cobalt
Alright, thanks a lot then. Think I can get on with my system
gentle urchin
Add will add an index to the end of the current array with the specified value
plain cobalt
yeah so if i add lets say index 1, element 5 and index 4, element 5
the int array containts 1-5 and 4-5 but nothing else
versed sun
no
Fist item added will be Index 0, Second will be 1
But , its confusing because you are calling the value/Element a 'Index" also
gentle urchin
An array has an element at a given index
Element happen to be an index for another array
So it gets a bit messy, gotta keep your tongue straight
plain cobalt
An element is the combination of an index and a value then?
