[novel rock]

I tried the tutorial and it still dosnt work 😿

[true igloo]

this throws an error.

[zealous moth]

@true igloo what are you trying to do, have a single ABP for multiple characters?

[true igloo]

Yes, a basic set of state logic that many NPCs can use

[prisma delta]

I believe that things like screen settings only take effect when you're simulating a build

[zealous moth]

are all those NPCs using the same skeleton?

[novel rock]

im building it then runing the .exe

[prisma delta]

Ah

And your get game user settings is referencing the correct game mode?

[true igloo]

Yes, well maybe I’ll do male/female skeletons. But for now just 1

[prisma delta]

Yeah strange, as I said, limited knowledge without being infront of my project to verify

[novel rock]

is this not where i am suposed to put the bp actor?

[zealous moth]

ok... i mean if its the same skeleton, as long as that NPC uses that ABP, you can make it do any animation you want. Typically, you would just either add all of them in the ABP and switch states (like in a state machine) or play montages as needed.
You could alternatively load data assets asynchronously and only load the animations you want however you'd find that you aren't saving much power.
Finally, if your NPCs don't need to do anything complex, like they just idle around, you can throw this onto the GPU through material WPO.

[true igloo]

I guess what I’m trying to save is time. Each npc would need a clone of the anim blue print. I could make a child of a master for each npc and set a bunch of animations per child copy. But that is an asset that goes along with each NPCs character blueprint. It’d be nice to have 1 asset, but it’s not imperative I guess.

The more I can consolidate assets and data the easier it is to scale.

[tribal gazelle]

Anyone know why I am getting an infinite loop error for event construct?

[oak fable]

do anyone know why the teleport function is not working ?
it already hits it but the character doesn't teleport

[frosty heron]

The error occur during play time? or in editor time too?

That setting only work in packaged version of the game

it will not work in PIE

[tribal gazelle]

When I use my inventory. They are alert messages.

I just turning it into a component FYI

[frosty heron]

and when you disconnect the pre construct does the error even tstop?

my guess is you have Object X that spawn Object X

[tribal gazelle]

I think it's sending a message saying inventory is full when I drag something inside inventory

Because there is a bug making max weight 0 so it will trigger that message

[lunar sleet]

It hits what?

[frosty heron]

Infinite error loop shows up when something happend 10000 times or a number of times that you set in the editor

[frosty heron]

Use breakpoint to find out

or printstring but Print to OutputLog

[lunar sleet]

Pre construct is before runtime

[frosty heron]

Yeah I suspect the image he gave is irrelevant since it's infinite loop error (which means he got it when playing)

[lunar sleet]

lol, true I was giving them too much credit

[lunar sleet]

Does it print location found

[oak fable]

yeah it does

[lunar sleet]

Try using set actor location instead

[oak fable]

was going to try it

[lunar sleet]

Do you actually need to do this on construct or can you just set the text in the details panel ?

[tribal gazelle]

They are dynamic messages and it's event pre-construct because it's the message widget

[novel rock]

I'm not testing this in the editor. I test it in a build.

[lunar sleet]

Yeah, pre-construct is the widget’s construct technically

[lunar sleet]

Does it work if you do it at runtime instead ?

[tribal gazelle]

What do you mean?

[lunar sleet]

Like not on pre-construct

[frosty heron]

The infinite loop shouldn't have anything to do with setting a text on pre-construct, what make you deduct that to be the problem?

works for me 🤔

oh wait, I still have to press Alt-Enter

for the window thingy to pop up

nvm I don't, I just cant do it on my max resolution

otherwise the Window bit is at the top

try lower resolution for the window mode

[novel rock]

Alt-Enter works >.>

[frosty heron]

I will show example

the window bit at the top is hidden if u are at max resolution

[novel rock]

im going to have to include that in the instructions

[frosty heron]

prob not ideal :S

you can probably change the resolution for a few pixel at the top to make room for the window bar but that sound hacky

The heck, I just noticed something

Alt-Enter Auto resize my Resolution

From 2k to 1080 p

[earnest swan]

hey everyone. I haven't used event binding before so I'm not sure why it's not working. I know the event is being called via print strings, but the event that is supposed to be subscribed is not firing. Does anyone know what could be missing? I also checked to make sure that MusicManager reference was valid

[wild moat]

still havent had any luck with this, if anyone knows how to select from an matrix array based on XY coordinates i'd appreciate the help

[novel rock]

what like

for(x = 0; x < 256; x++)
{
  for(y = 0; y < 256; y++)
  {
    return index x*y doSomething;
  }
}

i have a hard time remembering this

did this a bunch a a while back but have a hard time remembering the details.

[earnest swan]

what are you trying to accomplish here? To get the sphere to circle the player in a square shape?

I see your video but I'm still a bit confused

[prisma delta]

You'd need to detect the spheres location relative to the forward and right axis of the pawn then use that as a boolean to set the values?

[graceful zodiac]

Is it possible to hide the camera mesh in BP/map viewport?

[prisma delta]

Search for visible and untick in the details

[graceful zodiac]

Tried - doesn't actually turn it off

On the actual camera component, you can just set the mesh to null, but this is a SceneCapture2D and doesn't have that field

[prisma delta]

There are also settings in the viewport itself

Game view for one should hide all visible actors that shouldn't be rendered in game

[graceful zodiac]

Ya the camera doesn't show in game, but I don't want it to show in editor either

[prisma delta]

Untick the eye on the asset in the outliner? Not a permanent solution I know. 😝

[wild moat]

i'm setting values in my material depending on the position of the sphere around the player:

[graceful zodiac]

That's only on the map, not BP editor, sad days... Wish they added the mesh area to the scene capture like they did for the camera

[wild moat]

currently it's snapping only when the sphere is at an exact coordinate, instead i want it to leap between the 9 positions:
https://gyazo.com/a2ed3bfad3c4245d26a821de6a626a30

[wild moat]

i have an array of arrays for all these values:

and an array for corresponding coordinates, my problem is an array is only selected when the sphere is at the exact coord, instead of learping between all the points in-between:

[wild moat]

ignore the wiggle that's a different system

here's a better view of the snapping issue:
https://gyazo.com/d368c7c4ac43ee121eaa26cd36ca902b

[graceful zodiac]

I just child classed USceneCaptureComponent2D and exposed the mesh myself - problem solved

[spark steppe]

i usually just scale it down to a comfortable size (i think even scale 0 works for it)

[graceful zodiac]

With the base class I made I can just set the mesh to 'none' and then not have to worry about

[rain furnace]

i would like to rotate my projectile to face away from the normal direction of the wall or whatever it hits so if it hits a wall it would be sticking out and if it hits the floor it would be up but im bad at math so i dont know how to turn this normal into a rotation

i figured it out nvm XD

[gusty dragon]

Is there a way you can change a splines starting point?

[thick bramble]

How can I setup variable here, if my blueprint inherit from C++ class that inherit from UObject, and that class has variable?

[spark steppe]

it wont show up in the variables list, but you can rightclick and search "get taskname" and it will show up

also in the class defaults it should be visible

[granite frost]

Hello guys. I am facing a small problem where the begin overlap event is triggering a bit late and the particle effect is happening inside the wall instead of on the wall. Sometimes its at point and sometimes its inside. I think I need to tweak a bit of settings but which one?

[fringe junco]

probably the physics settings in the project settings? although im not entirely sure if changing these settings will resolve the issue

[granite frost]

Yes, but I don't know which setting to tweak.

[vital cargo]

I did this method too, I have some stuff that load quicker than the UI. You can always use .2 instead of a whole second.

[faint pasture]

Why select and not calculate?

It's pretty trivial to math your way to the matrix from the locations

Convert world to local ref frame, divide, clamp, then round

[manic vessel]

Im confident this is ok But wanted to Know If there was any better ways to add Any ammo amount Up to a maximum limit .

does this essentially do the same thing as above? but cleaner?

[spare hamlet]

Hey,
I'm currently working on a mushroom picking simulator.

The soil moisture of the terrain also plays a role in the spawn condition, which is why I need a “Humidity” variable on my terrain, but unfortunately I have no idea how to implement this.
That on my terrain at coordinate X,Y,Z -> Humidity = 2;
On the other coordinate -> Humidity = 0.5 etc. can be.

This value should not be visually visible via landscape material, only the numerical value plays a role.

Does anyone of you have an idea how I can best implement this?

[manic vessel]

I would do that either with a volume box \ sphere of some kind or and actor that is using a distance value from itself to set the value ?

or even use Niagara system that set that?

just some Ideas of the top of my head

[prime stump]

If you haven't already, save a reference to the currency widget by promoting it to a variable, then on your pause input get that variable and remove from parent

[gentle urchin]

Max only clamps downwards, not upwards

Youd prob want min

[manic vessel]

Thank you

[manic hamlet]

How do you guys link data from 2 different data tables?
e.g. i got one DT with NPC data and one with Item data.

Now I make a merchant wich obviously needs an array of items that he sells the player.
What is the best way of doing so? Currently said array is a stringArray, wich holds the RowNames that come from the ItemDT but this seems stupid , cause as soon as I rename lets say IronIngot to IngotIron I need to check every single Merchant if they have "IronIngot" in there as sellable variable 😄

[gentle urchin]

Avoid renaming ironIngot 😄

I link them with gameplaytags

[manic hamlet]

haha

[gentle urchin]

And i make sure, tedious as it is, that row names are gameplaytags

[manic hamlet]

i mean it doesnt happen often but you know how it is 😄

[manic hamlet]

okay so lets play this through

ItemDT the RowName is IronIngot

and in the merchantDT you got like a row with tags like: Item.Pickable.Ingot.Iron ?

[gentle urchin]

ItemDT got s row named "Item.Pickup.Ingot.Iron"

Annoying as it is to type

[manic hamlet]

this still requires, when you change the RowName to change all entries in merchantDB though,no?

ohhhhh

i see

[gentle urchin]

Im gonna make an editor tool to help me out with this tbh

And a tool for searching for all instances of said tag

[manic hamlet]

this means you can rename the tag.....all data in MerchantDB changes to the new name and then you change rowName of ItemsDT....aka you change it in 2 areas only

[red berry]

Is there a better way than this to manage all the equipment slots for a player? Should I just keep this huge list of different variables? Or should I use a key-value map to better organise and look through? Because right now if I want to get a variable by an enum, I have to use a huge list like this. If I use a Map, I can just search by the key, and get the value I need

[manic hamlet]

i do the same, let me know of theres another solution 😄 (i save the data as struct though)

[gentle urchin]

Oh yeah i forgot rename exists

[gentle urchin]

Array - component - slot identifier

[manic hamlet]

haha so i (re)taught you something with my question 🙂 youre welcome LOL... jk jk thanks 🙂

[gentle urchin]

Well i havnt gotten to that part yet but ill prob just wipe it

[manic hamlet]

yeye but your solution is amazing,as mentioned it only requires 2 changes and all are changed.

[gentle urchin]

Well

The naming of rows is horrible

[manic hamlet]

I do that anyway

[gentle urchin]

I wish there was a gameplaytag alternative

[manic hamlet]

when you create an item...you name the row anyway

[gentle urchin]

Ill make a tool for it

[manic hamlet]

and as you use gameplaytags.... you have to create said tag anyway too 🙂 so technically:
make item tag->copy it
make new itemDT entry->paste it.
gg

[gentle urchin]

Grab all tags in a tag file, import to dt

All rows perfectly named.

[kind estuary]

So this is a common practice. Set timer to get reference to the widget for like a second

so to make sure the widget is loaded before we get the reference

[manic hamlet]

yeah, whatever your solution will be, the proposed one will do for me 🙂 changes in 2 areas is good enough.

[kind estuary]

i thought i was doing something sketchy

though now im having other issue, that is sometimes some actors spawn but are instantly killed in an explosion.

so when the settimer fires to get the widget the actor no longer exists

so i have a crash

someone told me in cpp to use weak pointers

[distant hollow]

Try using a Validated Get

[gentle urchin]

You can even have excel do it for you

[kind estuary]

sorry this part is in c++

[distant hollow]

Oh

[kind estuary]

and im using IsValid

[gentle urchin]

Export -> import

[kind estuary]

but its not working

[distant hollow]

Or you can delay the spawn to happen after explosion? Like set a boolean flag "IsExploding", and set a delay-loop to read the flag before moving on to spawn.

[vital cargo]

I don't think it's common practice, because you would normally do something like "Is Valid" then if false, try to call for it again until it is valid. I'm just not bothered to personally do it that way @kind estuary

[kind estuary]

yup

like me lol

though i have an isvalid check

still crashes

    FTimerHandle TimerHandle2;
    GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(TimerHandle2, [this, TempActor]()
        {
            TSubclassOf<UMyWidget> classToFind;
            classToFind = UMyWidget::StaticClass();
            TArray<UUserWidget*> FoundWidgets;
            if (!IsValid(TempActor)) 
                return;
            UWidgetBlueprintLibrary::GetAllWidgetsOfClass(GetWorld(), FoundWidgets, UMyWidget::StaticClass()); //crash happens here.
            TempActor->WidgetRef = Cast<UMyWidget>(FoundWidgets[0]);

        }, 1, false);```

so my crash happens after the isvalid

[distant hollow]

I have a gut feeling that it is still executing the next line after return; basically your "if(!IsValid) is doing nothing

[gentle urchin]

This is hacky 😅 unpreffered

[kind estuary]

hows that possible

[distant hollow]

Does using "return" break out of the entire function straightaway?

[vital cargo]

So that isn't the "proper" way?

[distant hollow]

And skip the rest of the code?

[gentle urchin]

Yes

[kind estuary]

it should. i mean its a return

[distant hollow]

Hmmm

[gentle urchin]

Break wouldnt

[kind estuary]

but it doesnt skip the code, so it crashes 😖

idk how to fix this

[manic vessel]

seem to have forgotten how to set the widget ? just shows as empty in set widget

[gentle urchin]

It doesnt hit return 🙂 debug it with a breakpoint, its not gonna hit that return

[gentle urchin]

What does the crash actually say?

[distant hollow]

Try

AUnit* TempActor = this;
FTimerHandle TimerHandle2;
GetWorld()->GetTimerManager().SetTimer(TimerHandle2, =
{
TSubclassOf<UMyWidget> classToFind;
classToFind = UMyWidget::StaticClass();
TArray<UUserWidget*> FoundWidgets;
if (!IsValid(TempActor))
return;
UWidgetBlueprintLibrary::GetAllWidgetsOfClass(GetWorld(), FoundWidgets, UMyWidget::StaticClass());
TempActor->WidgetRef = Cast<UMyWidget>(FoundWidgets.Num() > 0 ? FoundWidgets[0] : nullptr);

}, 1, false);

See if it works

[gentle urchin]

Instead you can make a safe getter.

Which checks if the widget exist, if not it creates the widget, updates the ref and returns the updated ref.

If its valid it simply returns the ref

Whoever gets the widget first will create it

No more race condition

Or is this widgets in widget components or smth?

[kind estuary]

the widget exists. what doesnt exist seems to be the actor

problem is this is one of those bugs that happens only sometimes

[gentle urchin]

Where is this code located..

[kind estuary]

its in the begin play of my unit

[gentle urchin]

The unit exists by then , always

[kind estuary]

yes it exists but idk sometimes units are spawned in explosions and they die immediately

must be that

[gentle urchin]

They cant die pre beginplay

[kind estuary]

they appear on the map, then they die, and ahve a the settimer of 1 second to get the widget

by then they were killed by the explosion

[gentle urchin]

1 second they can def die.

Why do you have a timer

[kind estuary]

yup

[gentle urchin]

You shouldnt need one.

[kind estuary]

because at the start the units are spawned before the widget it seems

[gentle urchin]

Ofcourde

[kind estuary]

so i make them get the widget reference 1 second later

[gentle urchin]

But the unit spawns the widget

So it sll works out.

[kind estuary]

no the widget is spawn somehwere else

[gentle urchin]

Thats not very logical

If they own it they spawn it

Pass in their own owner as the owning player controller

You're even using getallwidgetsofclass, despite managing widget creation yourself ?

Thats... questionable

[kind estuary]

found it. the widget is being spawned in the controller

[gentle urchin]

Is it s common widget for all units? Or one for each unit ?

Are they always visible or only when selected ?

[red berry]

What do you mean by this? Isn't this just a map?

[kind estuary]

its just the main widget, where everything happens

[gentle urchin]

Could be a map, depends on what equipment means and if its multiplayer

[gentle urchin]

So how come every unit needs access to it ?

[kind estuary]

because of icons and stuff

so i just communicate with the widget to draw the icon

[gentle urchin]

Alright

Sounds like static data to me but

[frosty heron]

it does

[distant hollow]

@kind estuary tried it out yet?

[floral lynx]

Does anyone know if the default UE subtitles from Dialogue Waves can modified in a blueprint-only project? I have two issues, the text is way too small and Unreal's default Subtitle system just seems to display the entire Dialogue Wave text at once. Is there any way to splice the text up? Everything I see on this topic appears to be C++ related

[kind estuary]

yes, so far no crashes

but this is one of those crashes that happens only when you are not expecting

[gentle urchin]

I had little luck with it.. not very customizable

[gentle urchin]

Are your units spawned from the playercontroller aswell?

If so, let it pass in the widget ref aswell, after spawning it

[floral lynx]

I guess I have to build something in UMG then :/

[kind estuary]

yes

they are

[kind estuary]

great idea

well actually they are spawned from the controller and from buildings

and they are also spawned in the c++ there is one function that spawns them in a kind of orderly manner

i prefer to do it in the unit

because of this

[gentle urchin]

But also the playercontroller would be their owner

[kind estuary]

else i will ahve to do it everywhere.

imagine i have to remember that everytime i spawn the unit i cant forget to also give it the widget ref

its better to make the unit get its own refs

i think

[gentle urchin]

Its easy.

Always spawn them through the controller

always

Let them input a vector for the location and only maintain the spawn logic in that one place.

Issue Resolved

[dark drum]

To reword this a little. Try to keep the spawning happening from one place. Personally, I would make a manager for it but pc can work depending on the end goal.

If anything ever needs to spawn a unit it has to do so through the one place instead of using the spawn actor of class node directly.

[kind estuary]

ah so create a function in the controller that spawns it

then call this function from any other actor by casting the controller

[dark drum]

Pretty much.

[gentle urchin]

Same, im also using a manager.

Also just making a getter is a valid path

In the unit class

GetMainWidget () -> get owner -> cast to MyController -> get main widget

[dark drum]

you need to explain what 'is not working correctly' means. What is it doing and what should it be doing?

[acoustic sleet]

Sorry I added context.
Apparently on the newer versions you need to assign variables and bind it to the widget element variable.

[dark drum]

I'm not sure what you mean by that statement. You need to explain what it is doing and what it should be doing. Generally, there tends to me many ways to do the same thing.

[dark drum]

Yea, managers are much better for helping contain the code in one place. I find it makes it easier to get access to stuff as well.

[gentle urchin]

Especially when the complexity increases

[dark drum]

I often create a manager for stuff even if it only ends up have 2 or 3 vars and a handful of functions. You never know if you'll need to add more stuff later.

[tall field]

Is there any way to replicate set actor rotation? Without having to use RPCs

[frosty heron]

you are talking about function specifically

RPC is what you use for function

[tall field]

Yeah if there's a SetControllerRotation built in or I'd have to make it myself

[frosty heron]

you can always replicate variable, eg replicate the rotation of the character

[tall field]

I guess, was hoping there was something built in, cheers

[frosty heron]

and on every tick, you want your character rotation to interpolate towards the TargetRotation

Not sure wym by built in, try to read the compedium in #multiplayer

[gentle urchin]

Yeah, i had camera manager and even npc manager 😅

[dark drum]

Placement Manager, stats manager, action manager, inventory manager, level actor manager, dialogue manager, notification manager, Point of Interest manager, everything gets a manager haha. Need to keep the code in line so it doesn't get a mind of its own and mix with the wrong crowd.

[versed sun]

you need a Manager manager to manage the managers

[gentle urchin]

Max 8 managers per manager is optimal i've heard

[versed sun]

after that you need a District Supervisor

[gentle urchin]

Regional above that

Ok we went ot

[rough remnant]

i cant spawn a simple projectile sphere. Im using get actor eyes and spawn actor

yeah i know, probably the dumbest question ever asked regarding unreal engine

[dawn gazelle]

It may be colliding preventing its spawning. Try setting the collision settings to one of the always spawn options.

[rain furnace]

when in doubt print it out :D

[gusty dragon]

Anyone know what might be causing this the train is following a spline https://gyazo.com/5aaf43b4aebee8ce52959b2efc9b8aae

it just won't angle correct and face plants the track when going vertical

[gentle urchin]

Seems like it got mismatching directions

As if the train actor was upside down while component was turned or smth 😆

[versed sun]

needs to negate rotation

[gusty dragon]

https://gyazo.com/a1afcfce451f0e9cb836be652a043d18

[versed sun]

When confused , post code you used

[gusty dragon]

is it cause its only on the x vector?

[versed sun]

On the bottom Return Node , add a Multiply by -1(Float)

[gentle urchin]

Hmmmmmmmmm

You only wanna flip one axis

[versed sun]

or, World coord space on bottom one

[gusty dragon]

a lot better results with the multiply by -1 float

I will try the world cord space on bottom and I will show u result of the -1 float

[rough remnant]

already tryed 😎 , to no avail 😎

[rough remnant]

what does it mean?

[manic hamlet]

use print node 🙂

[gusty dragon]

https://gyazo.com/a11ae30b953784401d7c8f68bc46bcb6

[gusty dragon]

this is the result from the return node adding a multiply by -1 float when I changed the local space to world space it rotated the train backwards

[gentle urchin]

Looks alright

[dawn gazelle]

Have you tried spawning it at a pre-defined location? Otherwise, determine if perhaps the location is incorrect by printing it out?

[gentle urchin]

Except to steep curve

[gusty dragon]

yeh I can mess around with the curve looks way better though ty

[rough remnant]

what is the function for a pre defined location? i tried "make transform" with no avail. Idk how to print

btw when i play and i see the outliner, i dont see any sphere spawned

[dawn gazelle]

You could just disconnect the input on the spawn node and type in a value where you know you can see and nothing would prevent it from spawning. First I'd say try putting a print string node by your spawn node and see if you actually get the string to print on screen, if you don't that means your logic isn't reaching the spawn node.

[rough remnant]

i created the sphere by creating a BP, adding sphere compnent, adding it to root, adding projectile movement, in costruction script i binded the projectile movement component to the collision component and finally i created a variable

[distant hollow]

Like Datura said, just put a Print node before the SpawnTelep node, to see if your logic reaches this point or not yet.
Alternatively, use a Breakpoint and see where it flowed to.

[rough remnant]

i putted a print node and it does happen nothing, i guess my game logic is off

[distant hollow]

You mean the Print did not show up?
Then you need to backtrack along the code to see at which point it got broken.

Post your code before the SpawnTelep so we can see

[rough remnant]

im working in a blueprints project

[dawn gazelle]

1. You're specifying an asset as the object to check if it is valid or not. Assets specified like this will almost always be valid when doing Play In Editor stuff, so the "Is Not Valid" path will never be called.
2. You don't have the input execution path of the print string connected. The white wires show you the execution flow.

[distant hollow]

Why would you need the IsValid check for?

[manic hamlet]

prolly for the actor that has been shot

1st time it aint valid as theres nothing to teleport to.....2nd time around though(as 1st time is the shot) it is valid and now he wanna tp there

[rough remnant]

1. but thats how is in the post i linked? and to him he is working? maybe he organzed the asset in a different way

[manic hamlet]

red =remove...white line= you need that

[rough remnant]

2. i deliberate chopped the connections off for trying first the only Non vallid path, and secondy for trying the pre set transform location

[thin panther]

No it isn't though

If you look at the post he actually has a variable hooked up

[dawn gazelle]

The "IsValid" node gives you a place to input a value. You've decided to select an asset that happens to be named "telep" which happens to be the name of the blueprint you're trying to spawn and the name of the variable you're trying to use. What you've done then is selected the "telep" asset in the IsValid check node which will always return valid.

[rough remnant]

big oof now is working

[rough remnant]

yep this is it. thanks guys

[lusty hedge]

whats a good way to store an inventory item's data

im using a struct right now but i feel like theres gotta be something for it

something like Scriptable objects from Unity?

[dawn gazelle]

Data Assets

[gentle urchin]

Or DTs

[lusty hedge]

thanks ill check it out

should i have 2 types of data assets

one for base item and one for each item

[gentle urchin]

Why DA over DT?

If even 😅

Guess pro is being able to use tags as id's natively?

[lusty hedge]

would i make a unique asset for every item

[gentle urchin]

Thats the part that scares me lol

But ofc you can bulk edit them so

It becomes much like a dt anyway

You can also easily make custom editor widgets that edit them 🙂

[dawn gazelle]

Subclass data assets 🙂

[versed sun]

1 Per Type I would assume
Group them with similar functionality
PDA_Sword could have 3 DA's (Basic,Rare,Unique)
then a different PDA for Consumables, and another for Shields : Each with there own DA's

[gentle urchin]

Inhertiance in other words

To compound data

Guess it also supports limited function implementations

Which is more than dts easily do

Youd need a struct library to compare..

They also dont take instanced uobjects do they

[stuck sentinel]

if this is active

i want to disable this from happening

how

do i do that

[frosty heron]

I'm disabling my editor utility stuff atm cuz I can't package 😭.

I never make module or editor only module but I think it is time now

Gonna try to make editor only module and move codes there

[frosty heron]

Work it out in paper. You most likely want some state, things such as bInteracting

When you want to pause the game, check if the player is currently interacting. If the player is interacting then don't pause

[gentle urchin]

Disabling ?

Hmm havnt tried packaging directly yet

[frosty heron]

Yea I commented out my utility stuff

[gentle urchin]

But i assume they're excluded ?

[frosty heron]

I thought so too but in calling material editor stuff in one of my library

[gentle urchin]

The code itself is nothing special, just wrapped in #if WITH_EDITOR

[stuck sentinel]

im new so im asking for a blueprint code to do the job since i dont know many blueprint codes

[frosty heron]

I tried with if with editor but it still not cool with it. As long as I have dependencies declared in the main build.cs it won't compile 🫠

[noble ledge]

I have a UUserWidget that implements a interface. The EventGraph has these 3 events that do nothing. Is the purpose of this so that the Widget implements all the interface functions even if they don't do anything?

[gentle urchin]

Nah thats true, no export or whatever, right ?

So custom editor module it is

[lusty hedge]

can i loop through a mao

map

of a data asset

[frosty heron]

No export or import. Just changing material slot names in bulk and ticking materialinstanceconstant parametre

Yeah I will try editor module

[tawdry surge]

You can if you make the keys into an array and then get their values, but you can't iterate through a map directly

[lusty hedge]

uhg

trying to make inventory

might have to start over

[tawdry surge]

maps have a function for getting an array of the keys

Point of a map tho is to have random access. You generally should know what you want from the map and then it can find it quickly

[marsh pilot]

What does "Server only" mean?

[tawdry surge]

It happens on the server not the client

[marsh pilot]

Oh is this a multiplayer thing?

[tawdry surge]

If your game is single player just ignore it

[marsh pilot]

Ah got it thanks

[noble ledge]

What does it mean that some are gold and some are gray?

This is under the interfaces tab

[vital cargo]

Best saying ever. I use Print so much

[vital cargo]

Some will give an output while others are just calls for the function

So all the "gets" will return whatever you're trying to get while "sets" are setting a variable on your class.

[versed sun]

I think Gold is Event/No Return Node
Gray is Function with Return

[vital cargo]

Sometimes you can have both, so it calls the function, does what ever it needs but then also gives you an output.

[vital cargo]

That's right

[noble ledge]

So it is based on a return or not?

Gray = has a return.
Gold = has no return

[vital cargo]

Yup

[noble ledge]

Ok intersting. Thank you

[strong lodge]

Hello! Thanks for any help for this! I always struggle with this menu. I want something to come down (with gravity) and land on top of my player character, but not pass through the floor (oh and also not cause my camera to zoom in, I'm in third person). basically I'm dropping an anvil on them. My player character is a pawn, what should I choose in here and set stuff to in other actors? I can make my floors and walls whatever and as a little bonus it would be great if it could go through walls as well, though I feel like that's probably harder.

[vital cargo]

Do you want the anvil to fall through your character or just stop and fall to the side?

[strong lodge]

fall through it

over it I guess is a beter wird since i want to kind of hide the character for a few seconds before the level restarts

[vital cargo]

Wait tbh, I don't think it really matters.
For the Camera, is it using a spring arm? (I haven't used Third Person starter in a while). If it is, the arm might be doing a collision test which is the Visibility trace I believe, you can set that as ignore/overlap.

As for that, everything makes sense. Maybe change CharacterMesh to overlap if you have a mesh on your character or it will stop the anvil from falling.

[modern radish]

can someone explain me how to use Get Timer Elapsed Time by Handle?

[vital cargo]

I believe it returns the duration/time that the timer has been running for.

Say you have a timer for 30 seconds and you need to know how far through it is, you can get it with that.

[modern radish]

yeah I'm trying to get the time elapsed between the same Exec triggering

but this doesn't work

but perhaps there's a better approach

[vital cargo]

The Timer Handle isn't valid so it's adding nothing, unless you've set up the timer before hand.

[modern radish]

I guess I need to use Game Time in Seconds

[vital cargo]

Say your STBE has the event attached to it, you have a 30 second timer and you've triggered it. You've set the Timer Handle variable because it's been triggered, then you can call for Get time elapsed

The Elapsed Time will return 0 or 30 (not sure which one it returns)

[strong lodge]

thanks for the help! I also had to set it to query and physics so it wouldn't pass through the floor

[vital cargo]

0 it returns since the timer just started

[vital cargo]

Sorry, missed that. I sometimes forget to check that myself

[modern radish]

thanks for the help mate, I tried this but doesn't do what I need.. I need this to run inside a bigger logic, and right now it looks like it blocks the rest from executing

[vital cargo]

All good, that was just an example. I haven't personally used it.

[versed sun]

Are you just trying to track time between events ? and record them in an array

[modern radish]

yeah pretty much

[modern radish]

but that's since creation, not exactly suitable in my case

[versed sun]

you can Math it to what you want
Array(1) - Array(0)= time elapsed from 1st index to 2nd

[modern radish]

I'm going to try that

[lusty hedge]

how do i make an array of a map

i am trying to make an array of an item slot

and have the item slot contain a data asset AND an amount int

[versed sun]

Make a Struct of the Array

[lusty hedge]

you mean array of struct?

[versed sun]

or whatever object/actor whatever you use

Then you can use it either as a key or value

[lusty hedge]

thanks!

i ended up making an array a struct for inventory

the struct consisted of a data asset and an int for an amount

I dont like how maps are restricting. like i cant have certain functions like get or length

its a list like any other i dont see why there are restrictions

[noble ledge]

Question, on UpdateSnap could I have just called the event instead of tapping into its execution? Where the read circle is, could I just connect it? Just trying to see if it is basically the same thing.

[modern radish]

shouldn't this Custom Event fire every second?

[versed sun]

That will give you undesired effects, but its ok
Either disable Physics on the sphere or Enable Collision

[versed sun]

Just dont do it on tick

Do it once (On begin play)

[modern radish]

thanks!

[stone dirge]

Hey I want to create a fixed pattern line trace shotgun spread for my game, how would I do this in blueprints code?

[simple falcon]

i want it to be able to go through objects but still trigger on component hit events

should i make it just go through everything, then instead of using on component hit, check if the sphere ever overlaps an actor? or is there an option for it in the details tab

[versed sun]

If you dont have Collision, then Physics cant work (Can punch a ghost)
Just uncheck this to remove error

[simple falcon]

it needs SOME collision to be able to trigger on component hit effects right?

[versed sun]

Uncheck the Simulate Physics

[lunar sleet]

I don't want to cross-post but lmk if you have any insights on this please: #chaos-physics message

[frigid swallow]

Does anyone know how I could make swords collide? So during the sword swing animation, if the sword collides with another sword, it should stop/stay there, instead of just going through.

Same with other things like shields, walls, etc.

[lunar sleet]

I mean you answered your own question

make them collide, add collision

[frigid swallow]

how would I make the animation stay though? it kind of bugs out

[lunar sleet]

prly need to make an #animation for swords clashing to run on hit

[frosty heron]

I'm getting hitches from async loading 😦

[odd field]

Anyone have a link to best practices for native game logic with blueprint subclasses?

I’m hoping someone has a naming convention that clarifies the back-and-forth of a single task across the native-bp boundary.

[gentle urchin]

Are you doing lots of em

[frosty heron]

yup

I probably should have made a manager 🥹 and load them in chains

too late for that I guess

In theory Async load shouldn't hitch

but we are talking about Unreal (As Laura says)

[gentle urchin]

Still weird

If its that many you could still breaknit up in a loop

Do them sequentially

[frosty heron]

the way I did it was by creating an object (for the purpose of loading) for each soft object. Perhaps that was a bad move

can't figure out a way to que them up now

[gentle urchin]

If macros are as they say, duplicatino of nodes,

macro inside a macro should work

nvm , not like that

sequentially is ok, that's a macro with a loop delay

[gentle urchin]

something like this

or inside the loop

internally

[frosty heron]

@gentle urchin 🤗 I will try that, cheers

[gentle urchin]

only 'issue' is that if you keep on piling objects on the array, it will never complete or reset, but maybe that's not an issue : )

If that would be an issue for whatever reason, you'd split them in two arrays, and do batches of say 20 items each time or smth

common loop behaviour, ofc

[frosty heron]

also another issue is that some Soft object depents on other Soft Object.
Eg, Material can only be loaded after the skeletal mesh is loaded.

but I suppose I can just load what ever after the loading screen and that shouldn't matter

when I'm opening the data table, I will load them again anyway

so I can try what you've shown right after map load

and then Just load normally after, which shouldn't be an issue if the soft objects are already loaded

[gentle urchin]

you could split it into categories i guess

"load Materials" -> when done -> "load skeletal meshes"

or the other way around

[frosty heron]

Sounds good. Right now I kinda only pre-load the icons and that's what caused the hitches.
Then when I load the Material and skeletal mesh for the first time I get this black artifact

but switching between what's already loaded will look seamless after

so yeah, I would deffinitly look into pre-loading them

in a sequential way like you showed

Surely loading 1 obj at a time shouldnt cause any hitch

[spark fjord]

@modest crystal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxTpmyWH8Qg&ab_channel=PixelHelmet

this helped me a lot

[frosty heron]

Have the stat as component instead and use event dispatcher to broadcast when the Stat is changed

Calling a function that only update a specific widget is not good,
You should just be able to broadcast Stat change. And ANYTHING that subscribe to that delegate will do the update in their end

[tight pollen]

hi

[flint wind]

Hey guys, bit of a dumb question, I think. How do I keep an actor or a component from unrendering when behind another one? In this case, I have a widget on world space with a post process material overlay so it displays over other objects but, when it's completely covered y something else, it just disappears like this. When selected, it's back being visible, but it disappears again once unselected. I bet it's a simple setting but I cant find how to disable this. Thanks!

I think it won't be needed, but just in case this is the material it's using as overlay on top of the basic widget material

[silver laurel]

Hoping this is the right channel. Has anyone ever encountered a bug where going through a level transition breaks your AI movement (walk/run anims) and behavior tree? Like the AI just stands there instead of performing its actions? I built the transition with blueprints.

[pseudo anchor]

ok so im trying to replicate rotationg of my charcter
but whenever i play test, the joystick controls both players
i have another input that adds velocity and it works correctly
i also did in the same way with rep notify
i added a print and it just prints from client 0 for both screens
any ideas why

[frigid swallow]

Does anyone know how I could get a specific slot, lets say "full body" to not run in this layered blend?

Btw, "test" is the main state machine (ie. running, walking, jumping)

[feral parrot]

guys how do I customise a scalar value of a post process material using a blueprint? I started with that but don't get where to move on to

[flint wind]

Forgive me if I'm not understanding you, but you're using parameters inside a custom material you created, right? Have you tried creating an instance of your material in the blueprint and then modify whatever parameter you want?

I mean, I haven't tried modifying parameters from post process materials, but I bet it's pretty much the same as modifying parameters from any other kind of material. Again, forgive me if I'm wrong

[flint wind]

Are you using the same controller for both characters?

[pseudo anchor]

the same class?

[flint wind]

I'm fairly new here so honestly, I'm not sure if controllers can have multiple instances of the same class, but I'm guessing your controller is "possessing" both characters and then applying the same input on the two. If I'm understanding you right, maybe you want to create a different class for the other player from where you reference the controller and copy only that part of the input. Am I being clear '^^?

[pseudo anchor]

it should work automaticly tho because i have another input under space and it works fine

[flint wind]

Space input doesn't get replicated?

[pseudo anchor]

no it does it works fine

its just that the joystick control the same player

the space input controls different characters

[flint wind]

Hmm... Then I might not be getting what you mean, so why don't we wait a bit and see if someone else can help you better than me? Feel free to DM me if you want me to try any further tho ^^

[pseudo anchor]

ya id like to try more

[tribal gazelle]

I am getting an "infinite loop" error. What I've done is converted my inventory system into components, but I also made it so the inventory can be on other players (not just NPCs) and I am trying to reference the same component I am coding in. Is that the reason I am getting an infinite loop? When I use my inventory (and force a notification) it says the notification widget (on event construct) is an infinite loop.

[thin panther]

We can't do anything unless you show us the code :P

[tribal gazelle]

It's one of those bugs where IDK what code to show you

[thin panther]

Normally if you click an error it shows you

[tribal gazelle]

But I plan to convert back to the way it was to see if me referencing same component is the issue.

[lunar sleet]

Did you disconnect the stuff on the pre-construct?

[tribal gazelle]

Take not of the max weight being 0 (which is a bug) but it is triggering a notification message within the inventory system (saying item is too heavy to be added to inventory)

But this is the issue I think

I am trying to reference the character component within the component

That is the "extra" step I took when converting to components

Disconnecting gives same error

[lunar sleet]

Wdym? The loop is sending you to that pre-construct event isn’t it?

[tribal gazelle]

Well, it is trying to send me a message saying the item cannnot fit in the inventory (as there is 0 max weight)

[lunar sleet]

Right, but that’s not what I asked

If you get rid of that pre-construct, does your infinite loop go away?

[tribal gazelle]

When I delete it and keep disconnecting things it goes right back to the actual notification function in the UI widget

[tribal gazelle]

I felt if I converted back to just detecting AI it will work again.

[lunar sleet]

Nah something else is wrong there

[lunar sleet]

Show the code where the widget is being created and added to viewport

[tribal gazelle]

But I am doing this inside the character component, is that ok? Or does it need to be done in the character blueprint?

[lunar sleet]

should be fine in theory, but what is calling that Create Inventory Widget function

[tribal gazelle]

OnBeginPlay

[lunar sleet]

of what

[tribal gazelle]

Inventory Character Component

[lunar sleet]

hmm try moving it elsewhere

[jolly cipher]

Not sure if anyone has ran into this issue,

I have a characterBP that has a C++ class as a parent.

I bought an asset on the marketplace that uses C++ and the base character also has a C++ class.

Is it possible to somehow create a child of my custom C++ of the asset's character BP? Essentially inhereting both C++ code?

[tribal gazelle]

Progress.. finally. I disconnected way back to the notifications and stopped loading the UI widget and the loop error went away

[lunar sleet]

Wdym? What kind of asset ?

[lunar sleet]

Are you loading it on tick or something ?

[hexed solstice]

So I’m currently trying to parent the blueprint with a “dummy” on both the left and right side of my character, is there anyway to do this?

I am trying to set this up because I want to use “detour crowd” stuff but only for the left and right side of my character. (Enemies are supposed to follow the main character but avoid its left and right side)

Also any documents and examples of this are greatly appreciated. I’m trying to learn as I go with this project

[jolly cipher]

I just bought the Ascent Framework asset in the marketplace. Its basically a plugin you activate and you plug their Character base BP that has their C++ code linked. Im trying to figure out how I can inhereted my C++ code on top of that.

[lunar sleet]

You’ll need to reparent yours to that one

[versed sun]

After you Construct /Create something , there should be a blue Return value
That is your Texture, off of it you should be able to set Size , or Width/Height or something
You might have to wrap it in a size box and Align to Fill
Not sure , I never messed with Media Texture

[jolly cipher]

Well if I create a child of the asset’s Character BP and then I reparent that child to my C++ i just loose evertyhing afterwards no?

[near stratus]

I'm trying to make a camera that pans around the character by rotating a spring arm that has a camera as the child component. When I rotate the spring arm in the viewport for the character blueprint, the camera is always facing the center but in game its always facing the front of the character. What should I do?

[wild moat]

still getting some jumpiness on my skew BP/material

https://gyazo.com/5d2b0be5c3ce8120335917780fa76d48

[thin panther]

#materials
there is also nothing people can do without seeing the code, but for future reference the material graph is not bp :P

[versed sun]

Looking good!
How did you end up setting the Matrix

[leaden yew]

for my game, I'm making a mission editor where the player can choose where on the map they spawn, how do I move the player starts to where they need to be before a player spawns in?

[vital cargo]

Single player?

[dawn gazelle]

Rather than moving a PlayerStart object, you could override ChoosePlayerStart in the Game Mode, find and feed in a reference to the actor that you want to use as the location.

[leaden yew]

multiplayer

[leaden yew]

how would I place the actors there before the player spawns? There won't be set locations for players to spawn, it can be anywhere in the map

in the chooseplayerstart function, could I spawn a playerstart in the right location and pass that as a reference?

[dawn gazelle]

You normally wouldn't want to allow players to choose a specific location. If you have a mission editor, I would think that you're setting positions of player starts and would allow players to choose from valid available start points.

[kind estuary]

How do i remove the collision entirely from a mesh, so to save performance?
Just this?

or there's more to it?

[paper python]

Hey, I want to gain some clarity on fundamentals of how engine works (and things break)
If I have a Timer that calls an event very frequently
And that event has slow code - like, an unreasonably super dense calculation, or even a delay() node.

With such situation, could it happen that the event gets called multiple times, while the original call is still executing, leading to chaos and overwriting values in the variables it operates on? 🤔

[mighty frigate]

Hi.
Level streaming.
I have a starting level with just a CameraActor and PlayerStart that loads a BP_LevelManager.
In that blueprint Event_BeginPlay triggers LoadStreamLevel of a TitleScreen_Level.
That level streams in correctly.
In the BP_LevelManager I have a Event_Enter (the keyboard input) that SHOULD trigger a print string (for debugging bc the real load swap wasn't working). It does not.
I actually want it to unload the streamed TitleScreen_Level and load a stream of the Gameplay_Level but it seems getting the Print String to work will resolve that.
Any thoughts?

[leaden yew]

It's for a flight sim, but I think for now I'll go with this advice and have player starts at airfields, thanks for the help

[wild moat]

it's both, here's the corresponding mat:

[versed sun]

The box looks like Box is moving in a box path, but sphere is a smooth rotation
Its hard to tell because of the material change is trippy
Maybe the Boxe's Clamped ranged needs to be larger?

[wild moat]

the values are based on the sphere's smooth circular path, the smoothness should match

but yeah i noticed it looks like it's moving linearly

[versed sun]

Looks like -1 to 1 needs to be -1.3 to 1.3 .... or something

[wild moat]

https://gyazo.com/ed2121e5deeb30714d8b7a494a95034a

[wild moat]

changed it to -2 to 2, no difference

[versed sun]

hmmmm

[thick bramble]

Why aren't my class defaults showing up?

Details are enabled

[versed sun]

I see you got it down to 4 arrayMatrix, are they Cardinal directions(N,S,E,W)or the corners(NW,NE,SW,SE)?

[thick bramble]

Can I somehow create an object in array from editor?

[zealous moth]

Make a double for loop in construction enabled by int > 0.
Set int to 1.
Editor freezes 🥶

[unborn sigil]

In order to make a player character's collision capsule rotate to follow the camera direction, does the camera need to be set as the default scene root component in the character BP?

[lunar sleet]

why would you be rotating the collision capsule

[unborn sigil]

For a character that is always oriented toward the camera direction and freely moves in 3 dimensional axes (except for Roll/Z-rotation)

[lunar sleet]

still dunno why you're trying rotate the capsule itself but 🤷

[unborn sigil]

I assume that's the only way to keep collision accurate to the orientation of the character model when rotated

[marsh pilot]

How do I check to see when the right mouse button is clicked?

Is this something I have to do with the enhanced input system?

[lunar sleet]

Depends, is this for a widget click or just clicking anywhere

[marsh pilot]

Clicking anywhere

[lunar sleet]

Then yeah, you should setup an input action with the #enhanced-input-system

Read the docs and look at how the templates do it, you should be able to figure it out

[past junco]

hey, sorry to butt in. I just don't know the channel were we can ask about extremely basic questions?
Super new to UE

[lunar sleet]

#ue5-general or here, we can redirect you to a better channel if needed

[past junco]

ahh ok thanks. I think I'll try general.
Just trying to figure out first person movement and the UI

[lunar sleet]

There’s a first person template you can build on

[past junco]

That's the issue. It looks nothing like any video tutorial I can find [nvm, finally found a good guide on how to get to content]

[slim widget]

there's an event for right mouse button nvm do what neo said

[lunar sleet]

Yeh, except that system is deprecated now so it’s better to learn the new one

[slim widget]

I'm having trouble too. I have a character, character shoots bullets, that's working fine, but if I pick up a powerup to say, make the bullets "should bounce" from the projectile movement component to become true, I cannot seem to do this because the only actors they will recognize is the power up, and the character that collided with the power up, and the bullet, somehow, is not as interactable, even promoting the BP_Projectile to a variable in the power up, I cannot drag it from the content browser, and because it's a bullet that exists for 3 seconds, making it a level asset that just exists in the void doesn't seem plausible either

[lunar sleet]

Where did you promote it to a variable ?

And sorry rephrase that, what’s not colliding with what exactly?

[slim widget]

the logic I feel is simple, player spawns bullets, to change the property of what is shot, change the BP_Projectile of that object being shot, as it'll only ever be itself

[lunar sleet]

Is bouncy bullet a child class of bp_projectile?

[slim widget]

no it's just an actor, making it a child of bp_projectile has the same issue when trying to address bp_projectile as a parent

[lunar sleet]

Ok, is this bouncy bullet supposed to travel through the cube, or bounce off it?

[slim widget]

the cube is just a power up because I'm not 3D savvy, it would change the property of future bullets fired to become bouncy

basically A hits B, doing so effects C, but C is invsible to event dispatchers, parents, cast binding. I feel like there's a principle I'm not understanding

[lunar sleet]

Ok, but you want to hit the cube with this initial bullet first, right ? What’s supposed to happen to that bullet next ?

[slim widget]

the player runs into the cube, like old fashioned games where you run into the thing to get the thing

running into the cube should change BP_Projectile's projectile movement component "should bounce" variable from false to true

the player spawns bullets through the spawn actor so it doesn't know what BP bullets are either, technically

[lunar sleet]

Oh ok that’s much easier

[slim widget]

yeah I feel like solving this everything else would be smooth sailing but my kryptonite is making simple things very hard

[lunar sleet]

Ok, so what happens now, does running into the cube work as intended?

[slim widget]

no, but I had an idea of changing the variable bullet to a class variable instead object to see if that'd make it populate from the content browser that didn't help I have no ideas.

[lunar sleet]

Yeah you can’t really reference something that doesn’t exist yet

But it’s not too difficult to achieve this

[slim widget]

unity gave me a lot of bad habits apparently 😆

[lunar sleet]

Make a new bool on your player, HasBouncyPowerup, default false

Make your player make to overlap the cube and vice versa. Then, on the player, use actorBeginOverlap , cast to the bouncy cube bp. On success, change the HasBouncyPowerup to True

Lmk when done and you’ve tested the overlap works with a print string or something.

[dapper nest]

hi can anyone help me with the maths here, i need to get the input direction relative to the player's current direction, any advice? even if anyone has pointers towards what i should look into

[supple dome]

what kind of movement you want

[slim widget]

simple enough

[lunar sleet]

Good. Now on your BP_Projectile’s begin play, get player character, cast to your char bp, branch check if the power up bool is True, then get the PMC or drag into the graph, set bounce to enable

[slim widget]

Interesting, it'll take some getting used to but I think this is the way it is, thanks Neo

[dapper nest]

i am using it to add a dash that takes the input, and turns it into a directional vector based on the player's rotation. So pressing left will return a vector that is left of the player, pressing right returns the right vector, etc, etc

so i know the maths i gotta do involves the forward vector and the directional wish vector, but im not sure what to do with them

[lunar sleet]

There are still times when you can directly create variables of a certain bp type, but other than doing so inside the level blueprint (which you generally want to avoid using), I think it mainly works for widgets inside the HUD

[slim widget]

right

[lunar sleet]

There are get forward vector and get right vector functions you can make use of

Nvm I guess you already know that

[dapper nest]

yeah, it would mean having a different calculation for each possible vector, but ik there is a way to do it with the wish vector and the forward vector, i just cant figure it out

[slim widget]

oh. wait. I just realized something, when you create the bullet, for the time it's created you have access to the object Neo's bool still applies to this, but it opens up all the doors I had wanted anyway about modular powerups

[lunar sleet]

Right but it does get destroyed eventually. Maybe you can get the class and set the bounce from there, but I haven’t tried that

[slim widget]

right, ideally changing the class, but for now this will do until getting lower level becomes necessary, just wanted to update that I completely forgot spawnActor has a return value of the spawned actor

[lunar sleet]

🤔I can’t test rn but what happens if you multiply the fwd vector by the incoming action values and add it to the location, then set the actor location to that (you can interp later maybe)

I’m thinking it should be as simple as breaking into 2 where W/S uses fwd vector and A/D uses right vector

[opaque acorn]

facing an really weird prob;m, baiscally i want to my array to get reset however at an index i want to keep the value. when i try to access the array via event tick it only work for once then if i test other values array reverts

at event begin play the loop changed all values to 0 then it re put the value at given index after completation of for each loop. Now evnt tick do shows the right value for once but if i change the index and try to get the value; the problem occurs

[lunar sleet]

I don’t rly understand what you mean but what’s this whole thing for?

[dapper nest]

got it working, this seems to do the trick

[opaque acorn]

which part u dont get have u even checked the code?

[lunar sleet]

Yes, I looked at your code but it didn’t make much sense what you’re trying to do

[lunar sleet]

Nice

[earnest swan]

Noice. If you look up or down, might that forward vector be pointed up? And that would impact your wish direction

[opaque acorn]

this the array and i want to make all the item values 0 but keep 2nd at the value its ie 1

[earnest swan]

Unless you don't gotta worry about it

[opaque acorn]

so at event begin play i use GET (copy) and stored its value ; then i used for each loop to change all items to 0

then i took that variable which stored before the loop; then used set array elm to set it back to the index ( 2)

[dapper nest]

its getting the actors forward vector and not the camera vector so this shouldn't be an issue, will clamp it just in case haha

[earnest swan]

Oh that's true!

[opaque acorn]

now Im checking the array's items via event tick

[opaque acorn]

let me know if i am able to explain it

[dapper nest]

btw for anyone wanting to use this, make sure you normalize it, just accidentally sent my player flying lmao

[earnest swan]

Lol classic

[dawn gazelle]

If you leave "Active Index" and "Given Index" as 0, what does the event tick print out?

[lunar sleet]

Yeah, I understand what you mean now, I was trying to figure out where you went wrong but needs debugging with print or breakpoints like Datura said

[opaque acorn]

active index supposed to check array via event tick

[dawn gazelle]

But if you leave it at 0 as well as "Given Index" at 0, what displays? Based on what is happening here, you're only storing the value of "Given Index" which means looking up "Active Index" will only return a value other than 0 if it's set to the same value as "Given Index".

[trim matrix]

How do i set the restitution value over 1? it wont let me

[opaque acorn]

if i type active index 0 (which item is 3 before the for each loop) at event tick and i dont change the value via BP slider; it would show the item = 0 which shows that EVENT begin play code has worked BUT if i change the active index via BP ; it will revert the older value DONE BEFORE the event begin play

[lunar sleet]

Idk much about phys mats but I imagine you need to check one of those overrides first

[trim matrix]

Nah doesnt work, i think i have to go cpp mode

thats where the clamp is defined in

[dawn gazelle]

But does it show 3? That's what I want to know. Don't assume. Test.

[lunar sleet]

I would imagine its disabled for a reason but 🤷‍♂️

[opaque acorn]

if i unplug the loop code then only it will show 3

[dawn gazelle]

I didn't ask you to unplug the loop. I asked you to set Given Index and Active Index to 0. You should see 3.

[opaque acorn]

.

yes it showing 3

code loop is also plugged

[lunar sleet]

Is that maybe an overridable bind ? Check the + sign in the panel

[kind estuary]

event dispatcher?

[zealous moth]

I am trying to add spline points between spline points on a spline actor in the construction script.
I figured I'd do this:

1. find the total amount of spline points
2. for each spline point, find it and the next point's distance along the spline
3. subtract to find the given distance and then divide that distance by n+1 of the intermediates you want to have

that way if you want 1 intermediate, you want it at the halfway point (d/(n+1)) = d/2;

4. take the current spline point in the loop, get the distance along spline and add the d/n+1 value to it.
5. get that new distance and find the vector
6. add new spline point at the vector

It sounds good but works wonky...
It adds spline points at already existing spline points and after a certain point, they go away from spline.
If I set the value to 2... all hell breaks loose...

https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/zuvqmw-j/

[dawn gazelle]

So, then it is operating exactly how I described. You won't see anything other than 0 unless Active Index == Given Index because you're retaining the value of "Given Index" only.

All the others you're setting to 0.

[lunar sleet]

Kinda, yeah. I haven’t heard of it before tho, so not sure if it’s doable in bp

[kind estuary]

there is no on destruction

[lunar sleet]

No no, not right click

[opaque acorn]

im telling u now if change the active index at runtime to anyother value THE otther items which suppsed to be 0 would give the preivous value

[lunar sleet]

Check if it’s in the overridable functions in the left panel

[kind estuary]

got it

thanks

[opaque acorn]

https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/afgawogl/

u can check the code from ur side

use simulate and try to use active idex value at the BP detail pannel

idk why other values are turning back ( they should be 0 ; as the loop code supposed to turn them 0 )
@dawn gazelle

[kind estuary]

that saved the day

[slim widget]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14184515/action-delegate-uses-the-last-values-of-variables-declared-outside-foreach-loop scary thought but it's not this is it

[opaque acorn]

-__-

[lunar sleet]

My math-fu is not as great but shouldn’t it be (dist(N+1)-dist(N))/2 ?

[zealous moth]

lemme check

[zealous moth]

why /2?

this?

[lunar sleet]

I thought you wanted the halfway point between this spline point and the next

[zealous moth]

ah, i set it up with the # of intermediates you want +1

so 1 intermediate means divide by 2

2 means divide by 3

etc

so yeah, that's correct 🙂

[lunar sleet]

Might need to ensure it doesn’t go past the last spline point if you don’t already have that in place

[zealous moth]

yeah i just added a fix for that

but it doesn't change the fact i get extra points i don't need and past point 3 it's way off the spline

[opaque acorn]

Also look here it just keep having this weird problem even i try to set a new blank array to older one with al items being 0 and num of items being same. This is happening when i change the active index via detail pannel at runtime

code: https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/-fzuo8p1/

[dawn gazelle]

It works flawlessly on my end as I described. Only when I set Active Index to Given Index will the stored value display and all others show 0. Maybe try restarting?

[lunar sleet]

🤔 floating point error maybe ?

[zealous moth]

I added another layer of debug

[opaque acorn]

damn i never faced error like this

[opaque acorn]

have u tested it with sim mode?

[zealous moth]

@lunar sleet here it will print a text near the points. at intermediates = 0, it looks good

[dawn gazelle]

That looks to be the cause.

[opaque acorn]

hm?

[dawn gazelle]

Values are retained in simulated mode.

[lunar sleet]

😁

[dawn gazelle]

The actor doesn't "begin play" in simulated I imagine.

[zealous moth]

if I add 1 intermediate....

[dawn gazelle]

or something along those lines?

[opaque acorn]

damn so is there any node like BEgin sim??

[lunar sleet]

Begin play should still fire

[lunar sleet]

Shouldn’t matter really, you don’t make games to be simulated. You can just have something change that index value on a timer if you need to test further

[opaque acorn]

i bet ur right

[dawn gazelle]

It does fire in simulated XD

[opaque acorn]

ofc but i never new this shortcoming of simulation mode

was Datura said it wont retain

[dawn gazelle]

Perhaps its just in how the variables are handled? I don't know as I don't use simulated myself :/

[opaque acorn]

yea but i used to use that mode for checking now i wont use this mode

[lunar sleet]

It’s prly not a shortcoming but the way it was intended. If I simulate and hit play and move a wall, when I stop the sim it moves right back

It’s possible this is a side effect of how the mode works

[opaque acorn]

i used to think its a mode with no pawn support

now it looks its a "SIM FORWARD" thing meaning it wont going on if conditions are change

meaning if i change active index *it wont count the change

instead it will use the the original values

[lunar sleet]

So are they all ok except for the one at 10..4?

[zealous moth]

no, they keep adding too many

I have 4 points

I expect 3 more to be added totalling 7

i get 10

so something is doubling

[lunar sleet]

Is it possible it’s counting the ones you’re adding as you add them?

[zealous moth]

aha i did that mistake

it crashes

because you infinitely add them

[lunar sleet]

Right yeah

[zealous moth]

so I set the number of spline points before the loop

it cannot go past 4

or whatever number i have currently

[lunar sleet]

I’d set a breakpoint and step through each node to see what actually happens tho

Prly some weird side effect

[cyan bone]

Cant call this function its an BlueprintImplementableEvent

UFUNCTION(BlueprintImplementableEvent, BlueprintCallable)
void RemoveIcon(AMainBat* Actor);

[zealous moth]

@lunar sleet the first loop works 4 times, which is what i expected.
The second loop will itterate 8 times...

hmm

[dawn gazelle]

Is this code within a const function or something?

[cyan bone]

its inside the OnPaint function

overriding it

[dawn gazelle]

Which looks to be a const function

[lunar sleet]

https://tenor.com/view/dazzling-supernatural-glaring-blinding-bright-gif-20385074

[cyan bone]

its a blueprintimplementable event

sorry yup spagheticious

[lunar sleet]

I think the point is you can’t do it inside a constant function

So move it out of there

[dawn gazelle]

OnPaint is const though, which means it's not supposed to be changing things and if you call a function that isn't const inside of a const function I think that is what causes that message.

[cyan bone]

so maybe create an event just for this

and in that event in blueprint

i call the removeicon

sounds a bit hackey

[lunar sleet]

Shouldn’t this just do one thing on each loop for a total of 4 loops tho?

[zealous moth]

yeah so it doubles

i am trying to rewrite the math

[dawn gazelle]

OnPaint isn't supposed to be used to manage changing things like this. You may as well use Event Tick.

[lunar sleet]

Yeah, that’s odd, I’d check the input array maybe, in case it somehow gains new elements as it goes

[dawn gazelle]

But I wouldn't recommend that either for looping over things like that to check if its valid or not :/

[cyan bone]

its drawing icons. The only thing new that i added is, if the actor is not valid (its dead), then remove the icon.

its working now

but what is the issue with doing this in the On Paint?

[frosty wadi]

SO i have an array of texts and when i do remove item and remove the item form the array it removes it but shortly gets added bakc bc the length goes form 3 to 2 and thne the next time it prints the length its back to 2 its not like its perm removed what am i doing wrong

[lunar sleet]

Try adding a resize node, removing elements from an array can mess with the indices

[zealous moth]

I guess i mistakenly did the math, works now

[frosty wadi]

the thing is its removeing by a text variable and not index

[lunar sleet]

You’re removing an element from the array, I imagine

[zealous moth]

when you remove, the index gets shifted, dunno if this was talked about

[dawn gazelle]

Again the problem is likely because OnPaint is const and const is a promise that you're not changing things about this object. By attempting to call a function that isn't const in a const function signals that something could be getting changed and the engine wants to stop you from doing it. As for why the Set Render Translation function doesn't throw the error, it is likely because it's called on a separate target that the const function wouldn't care about and isn't considered "read only" in this context.

[lunar sleet]

Perhaps you need to explain what you’re expecting vs what’s happening again

[loud bridge]

is it possible to bind a custom event in the construction script?

[frosty wadi]

so i am making a 3d bingo caller and whne the number gets called and displayed on the ball it supposed to remove it form the array so it does not call it again and it removes it fro mthe array but when i cal lthe next number it sometimes picks it again

[lunar sleet]

Show the rest of the code so we can see how you’re calling each number and if that array is being modified anywhere else

[zealous moth]

hm, if i add spline points in construction script, is it normal to not be taken into account at begin play at all?

[frosty wadi]

it makes the arraay thne randomly picks a number form it

[lunar sleet]

Doesn’t sound normal

[zealous moth]

in the construction script, it takes into account all of them in that debug, at runtime, i made it print the amount i have and it's the original number :/

brb crashed engine

[lunar sleet]

Where is this code, the part where you make the array

[zealous moth]

lesson learned: don't click this

[lunar sleet]

Did you have to pull from source control?

[lunar sleet]

No, the first screenshot

[frosty wadi]

wiat wrong one

[lunar sleet]

Yeah I mean where is it being called from

[frosty wadi]

its right ther it make array that has 3 elemtns in it

its a test array its not the origonal one

[lunar sleet]

I know I mean where? Begin Play, Event Tick, random function , etc

[frosty wadi]

thats on begin play

i orgionally hadd it in a fuciton on its own whne the cal lvbutton was clicked

its like the array is getting remade or like reset when i do the next number

[lunar sleet]

Begin play of what bp, the widget ?

[frosty wadi]

of the ball

the ball that dispalys the numver

the ball is the main actor

[lunar sleet]

Ok, is it always the exact same instance of the ball then?

Or do you have more than one ball

[frosty wadi]

ahhh

bingo

thats it

it destroys the actor and spawns a new one

[lunar sleet]

Store the array somewhere where it persists

Or simply hide the ball, move it (if necessary) and show it again rather than destroy

[frosty wadi]

so how owuld i go about storing the array

should i make the array in a seperate bp

like make a new bp secifcally for the array

[lunar sleet]

You can store it in like player controller or game mode if you want or like I said, avoid destroying the ball and you’re golden

[frosty wadi]

thnaks

[cyan bone]

thanks

[thick bramble]

Why can't I use GetAllActorsOfClass in UObjects?

[dawn gazelle]

UObjects don't have a world context.

[thick bramble]

Sounds like scam 😦

I mean, not from you

[cyan bone]

i also tried learning how to work with uobject but found it hard because doesnt have anything. so i just use actors

[thick bramble]

Why not use UActorComponents instead?

Much cheaper

And have functionalities

[cyan bone]

or that

[thick bramble]

Can't I add tags on already placed actors?

[lunar sleet]

Isn’t it also that not all objects are actors ?

[thick bramble]

I clicked "+" like milion times

[thick bramble]

No. All objects are characters

[dawn gazelle]

You can add a world context fairly easily but needs C++ to do... And in this case, it tries to use an assigned Actor as the "Outer" to retrieve the world context.

UCLASS(BlueprintType, Blueprintable)
class YOURAPIHERE_API UWorldObject : public UObject
{
    GENERATED_BODY()

        virtual UWorld* GetWorld() const override;

};

UWorld* UWorldObject::GetWorld() const
{
    if (!HasAnyFlags(RF_ClassDefaultObject) && !GetOuter()->HasAnyFlags(RF_BeginDestroyed) && !GetOuter()->IsUnreachable())
    {
        //Try to get the world from the outer actor if we have one
        AActor* Outer = GetTypedOuter<AActor>();
        if (Outer != nullptr)
            return Outer->GetWorld();
    }
    return nullptr;
}

[thick bramble]

On level, you can place only actors

What you see, are actor's components, e.g. static mesh component

Components =/= actors

Components on the base level, inherit from UObject

So, you are corrent

Not all objects are actors

[thick bramble]

Ok, ty

[zealous moth]

well i hit a funny snag... i have spline with points 0, 1 and 2. I want to add intermediates to it, but anything added becomes... 3, 4, 5, etc
How can I make my new points move the old ones?

[lunar sleet]

🤔 maybe once the new one is created Add Unique n , n.5 and n1 to a new array?

[gentle urchin]

You can set point data directly

Youd need to move the old points manually

Is there a specific reason for making intermediates vs just adding to the end ?

[zealous moth]

yeah my ai needs them for patrolling

[gentle urchin]

I kinda dont feel like that answered it but

[zealous moth]

ai gets spline points and walks to them in order

[gentle urchin]

Add point at the end -> set its data to the previous point -> continue doing this untill you hit the location /section for your new point

[gentle urchin]

Right but why not get them in order in the first place

Or is this dynamically changed by the player at any random point in time?

[zealous moth]

well that's the thing, the AI goes straight, doesn't follow the spline. What I am doing is adding extra points on construct so that the AI can now go to intermediates between them and better mimic the arc

the issue is that those intermediates are added later in the index instead of in between

I think an idea I had was to create a temporary array/map and add to it the index, the distance, the tangent and the location, store it, run the calculations and at the end, rebuild it entirely

[gentle urchin]

Just reversing from the end does the same thing but saves you from caching it additionally

[zealous moth]

the array becomes like this:
0
1
2

to
0
1
2
3
4

but 3 and 4 should be
0
3
1
4
2

how would reverse fix it?

[gentle urchin]

Add point(4) = get point 2
Add point(3) = get new 4
Add point(2) = get point 1
Add point(1) = get new 3

[dawn gazelle]

Reticulating Splines

[gentle urchin]

For inserting?

[spark steppe]

my client didn't scroll (my answer was about the construction script spline point thing, was apparently >1h ago xD)

[gentle urchin]

😄 been there done that

Suddenly i answer to things 3 days ago

I rly should get back to my spline project

Was quite interesting to play with

[zealous moth]

reticulating?

[trim matrix]

I want to paint a bunch of static meshes with the foliage tool then convert them to blueprint actors in the editor.

I cannot figure out how to get a reference to the exact static mesh type of foliage that I'm painting

[gentle urchin]

wondering if Datura comes clean or finds another ref for Reticulating....

[spark steppe]

branching?

[gentle urchin]

You know you can paint actors directly right ?

Sounds like it'd save you a middle step

[trim matrix]

oh that'd be way easier thanks

I'm going to need to be able to get all these painted actors and store them in an array, then delete them from the world.

Then I'll randomly spawn a fraction of them at the start of every round

[fringe junco]

does unreal have a json or xml parser / serialization built in

[grizzled beacon]

Guys I'm trying to spawn a text widget on an actor of the scene, but it's binded and locked on the player camera, is there a way to make it fixed and frozen on top of the actor?

[quartz haven]

Hi folks! Do you guys know if I can do this inside of BP? Just changing where the wires plug by clicking and dragging? Maybe native or with a plugin?

In the video, I am using another visual scripting app called Max 8

https://youtu.be/HpBgpeGKAxA

[foggy escarp]

that looks horrendous

[quartz haven]

And also this. Just press SHIFT and click to connect to different nodes

https://youtu.be/zA3LOllupxE

[quartz haven]

If you are referring to how my patch looks, it's ok. But I was referring to the functionallity of it

[dark drum]

Does this currently follow the actor?

[dark drum]

I believe there's an experimental plugin for JSON stuff.

[quartz haven]

The functionality I would like to use in BP as well. It is a lot faster to do it like that, than draging again and again and again.

[foggy escarp]

Blueprint assist is pretty much the best when it comes to blueprint qol features. It has pretty much everything I can ask for.
https://github.com/fpwong/BlueprintAssistWiki/wiki/Features

He shows off everything there

[quartz haven]

So you say that if I learn those shortcuts, I can do the 2 things I showed in the video? That would be cool!

[foggy escarp]

bp assist basically makes everything 10 times faster once you learn the shortcuts. I don't use like 50% of what it has but Definitely the auto format and pin shortcuts

it does the first one, but the second video is more unique to material-type graphs in UE, I think there's one that does it somewhere

[quartz haven]

I will definitely check the info there. Thank you so much

Regarding <<but the second video is more unique to material-type graphs in UE>> I will have to figure out what "material-type graphs" mean first 🙂

Still new to this

[drifting kite]

hi is this the right place to ask about issues and problems?

[foggy escarp]

yep

[drifting kite]

im having an issue in 5.0.3 where nothing is showing up on my detail panel when working on BPs

i saw some other screenshots where there should be a gear on the top right of the panel with the filter options, but i can't seem to find it

[foggy escarp]

when selecting variables, events, and other things similar?
The details panel doesn't have much, to change, but there are options like showing plugin content and other stuff

[drifting kite]

yup, regardless of what I select, it just shows up as a blank

[frosty heron]

5.3 maybe?

There is a bug in 5.3 where it wiped the detail panel

But I am not aware of that happening in 5.0 or 5.1.

If it isn't the bug, maybe try restarting the editor. Close the detail tab and open again

[crimson prawn]

Hello, I have a question.
Is it better to download a whole json for each time it is updated (of an API) or just request the API each time I need ?

[drifting kite]

its 5.0.3. I have tried restarting both the editor and my own computer, but the problem still persists

thanks for the advice though, I guess I will poke around this a bit longer

[wary birch]

How does one transfer information from one game level to another?** (Example: You picked up and equipped this weapon on level 1, so now you will start level 2 with this weapon) **

[dark drum]

Have you tried resetting the editor layout?

[silent drift]

Could anyone tell me how I add a check to see if I hit an actor with a certain component on?

I would like to add so it plays a "hit" sounds when I successfully hit something that I can hit, and not when I hit something that doesn't have a health component, OR when I hit something where it fails to give damage (since you might need a special bullet or such).

[distant hollow]

DataTable?

[dark drum]

Two options, put it in the game instance or put it in a save game object and save to disc and then load the data from the new level.

Whilst putting it in the game instance would be the easiest option, this isn't always the best option depending on what you're doing.

[gentle urchin]

Savegame is one option

[distant hollow]

Try putting the info in GameInstance

[gentle urchin]

I dont like that option cuz bloat 😄

But it would definetly work

[distant hollow]

Show your full screen?

[distant hollow]

Is it a built-in or a plug-in?

[distant hollow]

Other Actor, then perform your checks

[foggy escarp]

its a plugin. $20, but well worth it. The speed jump using it is insane.

[distant hollow]

Will check it out

[silent drift]

I'm using the other actor, but I need to check so it has the "Health Component", but when I tried to do this it sadly didn't work. 😦

[distant hollow]

Show us your code?

You can also use tags

[kind estuary]

How do i remove the collision entirely from a mesh, so to save performance?
Just this?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/221798862938046464/1165439588450439240/b.png?ex=6546db32&is=65346632&hm=f85d4a4a3a9583d5359b80b7efc7795a38eb2316a094a404d2a803ccb87174c9&
Because it seems there are at least 3 places where the collision of a mesh is set up

[silent drift]

Ah, which would be better? To use tags or to check for a health component? I'm good with either, just trying to learn and unreal and setting up a basic first projectile. 🙂 SO I can shoot destroyable walls, and enemies.

(To start with)

[distant hollow]

If you are absolutely sure that you won’t need any collision at all, you can go to Viewport to remove them

[gentle urchin]

Remove collision from the mesh itself 😎

[distant hollow]

How did you check for Health Component?

[kind estuary]

so the mesh

open the mesh

just this

no need to go on the blueprint and change the collision settings and all the stuff?

[silent drift]

This is what I tried, but I get the warning it will always fail, and I'm honestly not sure how to solve that. (Sorry)

Though, I wonider if tags might be better since I want the bullet to bounce when it hits something that is "protected" and just make it bounce on those, deal damage otherwise, and just kill the bullet if there is no tag or wrong tags.

[kind estuary]

so the mesh
open the mesh
just this
no need to go on the blueprint and change the collision settings and all the stuff?

[kind estuary]

@gentle urchin

[distant hollow]

DM me

[kind estuary]

or do i need to change this too?

see there are 3 places that relate to the collision of a mesh.
1- The collision itself, can be removed.
2- Collision settings inside the mesh.
3- Collision settings inside the mesh inside the blueprint.
There is also the option to not import the collision when importing the mesh into ue.

quite confusing

Should i remove everywhere?

[gentle urchin]

If theres no collision

It cant collide, unless use complex as simple is set

[chrome scarab]

Is there a way to set up simple parent/child (attach) relationships within the blueprint editor (viewport)?

In the outliner of the level I can make two actors and make one a child of the other.

In a Actor's BeginPlay() I can spawn another actor and attach it to the first.

But in the actual viewport of an actor blueprint I can only make ChildActorComponents, not a simple "actor which is attached to me". Or am I missing something?

[distant hollow]

Are they not the same?

[kind estuary]

so that means complex collision is not removable

it always exists

because its made by the triangles themselves

[kind estuary]

should i also touch this?

[spark steppe]

depends on the mesh

[kind estuary]

use complex as simple

[spark steppe]

you dont want this for meshs with many vertices

it's good for doorways and stuff tho

[kind estuary]

i want no collision at all

like as cheap as possible

[spark steppe]

then leave it to project default

[kind estuary]

remove collision entirel
