blueprint

[slate fable]

Having some major issues trying to get a wave spawner to work

theres a handful of different components to this, whats the best way to upload them so its easy to understand without clustering up the disc?

having an SOS moment

[shell marsh]

Thank you so much I put down a shit ton of strings to find out I didnt have the whole custom event hooked up lol

its been 4 hours and I but learned a valuable lesson lol

[harsh coral]

Child actor component?
Basically I just wanted some sort of "null" object I could use to parent the lights to.

[thin panther]

There's your issue then. The child actor component is extremely broken

[harsh coral]

About 300 skeletal meshes...and that child actor with 2 lights parented to it...:)

[harsh coral]

What should I use instead for the purpose of linking/parenting some objects to?

[thin panther]

You can parent objects in the outliner. Or use the attach actor to actor node

If neither of those suffice, you'll want something third party like the free prefabricator plugin

[harsh coral]

I can´t parent stuff inside the blueprint to something else?

That seems rather unlikely.

ChatGPT says "Scene component", so I´ll try that next...:)

[thin panther]

You can with just an empty component

You can't put another BP in a BP though, which is what a child actor component is

[harsh coral]

Hm, ok, guess i need to rebuild a few things then, as I used a few of these child components to organize my blueprint, as you can´t put stuff on layers inside the blueprint.

Quick question though: Is it better to use an editable/animatable variable to change the rotation in the editor in the construction script, or as an event tick event?

I´m just using the blueprint in sequencer/movie render queue.

But I wan´t to be able to live preview things in editor.

[undone bluff]

are we talking about logic here?

because organizing blueprint scripts is a major usecase of actor components

[harsh coral]

I used the child actors as empty actors, just something I can parent a bunch of meshes to. So I can easier transform all at once or just hide them easier in the blueprints detail panel.

[dry sleet]

Level instances can be a nice way to package a outliner hierarchy into something you can clone multiple times into another level, but won't work for all use cases -- the actors in the level instance are isolated from the rest of the world and can't have properties overriden.

[undone bluff]

yea you are on the right track with scene components

[thin panther]

Hm. The big difference there is you don't get an editor tick in BP, so they're doing different things.

You shouldn't need construction script magic tho, just changing the rotation will work.

[harsh coral]

Yeah, doesn´t work for 300 plus skeletal meshes...:)

[dry sleet]

I'm late to the convo so not sure what the original context is, but just thought I should mention the possibility :)

[undone bluff]

it's essentially just an empty component with a transform

[dry sleet]

Ah no

300 plus! Good grief

[sick sky]

what does "auto activation" means for an actor component, since it will start expecting when the owner is created ? (even if false)

[harsh coral]

Human anatomy model with every single bone and muscle separate...

[thin panther]

If you just need a dummy "parent", then a scene component is the best way to handle that

If you want a blueprint inside another blueprint of sorts, the prefabricator plugin is the best way to handle that

[harsh coral]

Yeah, was thinking about using a metahuman blueprint inside it, but decided against that.

[dry sleet]

Prefabricator is Free and Open Source. It uses a permissive license (MIT).

lovely and delicious

thanks for the tip!

[thin panther]

You'll want the GitHub one though, the marketplace version has stopped updating!

[harsh coral]

I don´t wanna have to go to the blueprints detail panel and scroll through dozens of scene components to rotate one, so I´d rather have an exposed editable variable, wether thats in the construction script or the event graph is where I´m confused.

[thin panther]

You'll want construction script for editor time shenanigans

[harsh coral]

I don´t wanna have to simulate to work with it in the scene, I just need live feedback in editor.

[harsh coral]

Yeah, thats what I thought. Just got confused because the child actor rotation kept crashing unreal...

[thin panther]

You can still use an event graph var in the construction script btw, it's just a function

[harsh coral]

So, editor event ticks don´t work in blueprint actors in general...?
Sorry, very noob questions.

Just trying to figure out some very basic stuff with an already rather complex blueprint...:)

[thin panther]

Yeah you can't get an event tick in editor in BP without some hacks that I don't remember ATM, you can probably find it on Google tho

[harsh coral]

As long as it works fine in construction script I guess I´m fine for now.

Just one more quickie, while I´m at it...
Trying to figure out how to use a rotator variable and it doesn´t have the "expose to cinematics" checkbox.
Also, ideally I´d only have a variable exposed for the rotations Z axis...

Any hint here?

[queen dagger]

@dull shell thats the anim

[versed sun]

careful , that's very close to summoning a demon

[spark steppe]

i was about to write the same xD

[queen dagger]

oh you right no wonder it wasnt working

how about now

can confirm, lucifer did summon

[harsh coral]

Dang, there is something else going on. I replaced the child actor component with a scene component to parent my lights to and set up a rotation variable, but when i try editing that in editor, Unreal also crashes...

Gona do two more steps of trouble shooting, before I give up on this:

1. Not using a parent and try to expose a parameter for changing the rotation of the lights directly in editor.
2. Parenting something else than these lights.

Actually it didn´t crash. Its just a really long delay. It works better when directly setting the rotation, instead of dragging the value in the numbers box.

I mean, I got 300 skeletal meshes in that construction script. Is it maybe simply evaluating the whole construction script every time I drag the rotation variable?

[faint pasture]

Show the component layout for this actor, I gotta see this

[faint pasture]

Show the construction script too

and yes, the whole thing gets evaluated when you change the variable

[lunar sleet]

That drag function is very inefficient when it comes to editor time heavy stuff

[faint pasture]

I don't see any reason you can't just have a bunch of meshes in a single actor, no construction script shenanigans or child actor components required

[harsh coral]

Yeah, than it doesn´t really make sense to do it this way.

[lunar sleet]

Prly doesn’t want to ctrl+D 299 times 😀

[faint pasture]

BTW you can do the bool trick if you MUST have a heavy construction script.

ConstructionScript -> if bool -> bool = false -> heavy logic

tick the bool to run the script once you've moved the thing

that's how I think the old sky BP worked

[harsh coral]

I literally have no idea what I´m doing.
I have a human anatomy model and need to build a blueprint out of it. I need to have options to

1. Select ONE animation for all skeletal meshes.
2. Set visibility of groups of meshes (muscles, bones etc)
3. Set material overrides
4. Set overall scale.

[faint pasture]

At runtime or editor time?

and why is it 300 meshes and not 1 mesh with like 300 bones?

[harsh coral]

Editor time for setting up the scene, then using sequencer to animate stuff.

[harsh coral]

Because I need to be able to individually animate/hide each bone/muscle

We use this in 80% of our shots for TV documentaries.

Medical animation.

[faint pasture]

Try this
#blueprint message

This whole setup sounds hacky but if it already works just do that so you aren't trying to run the construction script on tick lol

your name fits though lmao

[harsh coral]

It probably is...:
I just don´t understand what the bool should ask for.

[faint pasture]

It's a bool variable

[harsh coral]

Like "if construction has run"?

[faint pasture]

no, if bool is true

Then the construction script will only run when you check that bool

[harsh coral]

Ok, and then after it ran, I do the stuff I wanna control live in editor=

?

[faint pasture]

You basically turn a bool into a RunConstructionScriptNow button

Sure, whatever that looks like.

Show us that construction script, what is it constructing?

[harsh coral]

Its constructing 300 skeletal meshes and setting materials and animation assets for it.

[faint pasture]

and when do you want to do that?

[harsh coral]

Its already packed in a dozen macro functions, so it doesn´t look like much from one screenshot...:)

[harsh coral]

When I open the level...:)

[faint pasture]

oh just disable running the construction script on move then

[harsh coral]

After that I edit stuff, then use sequencer to animate stuff, then render it out using movie render queue.

I never enter game mode, until it renders via MRQ

[dry sleet]

so that's how the Bool Trick™️ was meant to be used..!

haha I remember reading that trick 4-5 years ago when I first got started with Unreal and not doing it correctly

now it makes perfect sense to me

[harsh coral]

...meanwhile I struggle to reopen the construction script tab...

Goddamn it for these basic things ChatGPT is just so incredibly useless..

[dry sleet]

it lies like crazy when it comes to Unreal

[faint pasture]

It's useless for pretty much anything resembling real work tbh

It's very confident though, I'll give it that

[harsh coral]

Jup

[slate fable]

the first 3 images are a spawner bp that i place in the world where I want stuff to spawn. the next images are in the gamemode bp that tells it to generate an enemy pool then spawn enemies with a max of (variable) at any one time and logic to tell it how many total to spawn with a wave. but I keep running into an error that they dont spawn as many as needed OR it spawns too many enemies so that the counter is -#. there is an output log error specifically on the (Start Wave) function. in the last node Add Enemy To Que connected to the Random Spawners array

[dry sleet]

It's useful for a little reminder on how to do things like bit shifts and the likes, but only if you have a little prerequisite knowledge IMO

Basic python scripts and stuff like that

[dry sleet]

The component should have the event dispatcher, then?

Unless I misunderstand?

Event dispatchers can be called, and can be subscribed to (bound).

While a Custom Event (as it is named in Unreal) is more or less a fancy function.

[harsh coral]

I need a bit more help here...

[dry sleet]

You need to set that bool to true once the logic has run once.

[slate fable]

Curious if anyone knows a sort of solution to whats causing the numbers to be off or if theres a much simpler way to make a wave system for enemies

[dry sleet]

The idea is that it only runs once, then you need to uncheck the bool again (and the construction script will be permitted to run once).

[harsh coral]

Is there a check for "has construction script run"?

[dry sleet]

Well... that bool, if you set it up.

[faint pasture]

why would you check the bool after all the heavy stuff

check it, set it, do heavy stuff, in that order

[dry sleet]

Oh... that, too...

[harsh coral]

Sorry, can you explain it for a 5 year old...:)

[faint pasture]

Check if the bool is true. If it is, then set it false, then do the heavy stuff

[dry sleet]

Then the CS will only run once, then never again until you check the box manually.

So like Adriel said, you pretty much get a button to run the CS.

[harsh coral]

I´m confused, do I not WANT the heavy stuff to be done first, so after that it doesn´t have to reevaluate 300 skeletal meshes and I can rotate the lights easily?

[dry sleet]

Is there a reason not to just make a Call in Editor button in this case, though?

[faint pasture]

because that's why you're crashing

the construction script runs any time anything changes

when you're spinning the thing, you're changing stuff 60x a second

so it's trying to do a big think 60x per second when you could just move the thing, then press the button, then it only has to think real hard one time

the bool doesn't say if construction has been done

[faint pasture]

no

[harsh coral]

It´ll click soon, I promise.
I´m in moron land right now.

https://tenor.com/view/vicky-pollard-yeah-but-no-but-little-britain-trendizisst-gif-26101572

[faint pasture]

Literally do this verbatim:

ConstructionScriptPurpleNode -> Branch -> True -> bRunTheConstructionScriptNow = false -> run the bigass sequence
bRunTheConstructionScriptNow^

its like a gate

it'll TRY to run the construction script any time anything changes (rotation, position, the bool being checked), but it'll only proceed into the big heavy code when the bool is true. Proceeding sets it false so it can't run again until you check it true again.

the FIRST thing should be the branch

[stray halo]

How could i make it so he doesnt just snap back so fast to idle?

[harsh coral]

Still not quite there yet.
How do I change the bool to false after it has run once?
Do I need to make that bool variable editable so I can manually check it, after putting the BP in a level or opening the level?

[dry sleet]

Just use a setter...

[faint pasture]

yes

The whole point is that you hvae a checkbox you can click to run the construction script

[faint pasture]

You still aren't setting that bool false after the branch

[harsh coral]

Lemme try this then...

nope.

[harsh coral]

So, I compile, click the "run script", it runs, constructs the whole assembly, then sets itself to off automatically. Now I change the rotation value by dragging it and boom, crash.

I´m having trouble letting go of stuff like that, it bugs me so much, but its really dumb too, because I can really just rotate the scene component, its just a minor inconvenience...

[faint pasture]

what happens if you change rotation value by typing?

You still using child actor components?

[harsh coral]

It doesn´t crash.

[harsh coral]

Yeah, just not for that specific part of the code, the light rotation.

[faint pasture]

show your current construction script

[harsh coral]

I´m gonna have to switche these out anyways.

[faint pasture]

why is anything connected to the false

i mean that node shouldn't do much but still

[harsh coral]

Because thats the rotation that I wanna change AFTER the construction script has run.

Which is the whole point I thought.

[faint pasture]

just put it last in the sequence

that specifically WON'T run when the rest does

as you have it now

[harsh coral]

Yeah, it shouldn´t run when the rest does.

[faint pasture]

you just said it should run after the rest

[harsh coral]

The rest is heavy, this is just rotating the scene component, so I can rotate the lights.

[faint pasture]

ok sure, then put it on both

just have false and end of sequence hit that set rotation node

[harsh coral]

1. Construct the 300 skeletal meshes (plus the 3 lights I guess)
2. Rotate the lights:

[faint pasture]

yes but you never want to construct the meshes and not update the lights

always update lights
also construct meshes when the box is checked

[faint pasture]

sure that'll work

[versed sun]

Can you make it a Function that has Call in Editor checked ?

[faint pasture]

let's not get too crazy lol

[haughty temple]

trying to make a day night cycle, and the rotation of the sun gets stuck at 90, ive tried adding relative world and local rotation cant seem to figure it out

[faint pasture]

The crash might not even have been from the construction script if it's still not working

[faint pasture]

show your code

[stiff leaf]

Agree with that, I would create an editor function for the heavy part which has been suggested, then only do the rotation in construction. If you need the heavy part initialized, call that in begin play as well. More clean than bools states.

[faint pasture]

show the code around that node

[slate fable]

it all here

[harsh coral]

I´m not sure, but I really think its got to do with the dragging of the value more than anything.
I just looked at the BP when I typed in a number and it does look like its only evaluating the rotation code now.
But still lags like crazy when dragging the rotation value.

[faint pasture]

LMAO that death dispatcher

[slate fable]

im not good at naming things 🤣

[dry sleet]

haha yeah I noticed that too but didn't want to clutter the call for help!

[harsh coral]

Ok, no, thats actually nonsense whats happening now, after editing the rotation value, the whole BP resets to pre running the construction part.

Damn it.
Ok, I´ll give up. One more test, just disconnecting the whole construction part and only running the code for the lights...

Jup

WHat I thought.
Still lagging like crazy

[faint pasture]

Check that Spawners array isn't empty

When you get a random spawner

[faint pasture]

This looks super complex though, you probably can very much simplify it. What's the gist of what you're trying to do?

[haughty temple]

not sure what all you need to see, ignore the seconds part need to update it as im not going to use seconds just there from when i started, every 1 second it ticks 1 min game time, every time it ticks i run the for loop so the sun/moon movement is smooth, it all works perfectly till it rotates a certain amount then stops, ive had this issue with other things in past, ive tried all the rotation nodes alll of them get stuck in same spot

[faint pasture]

Does a pitch beyond 90 / -90 do anything?

[haughty temple]

well not rotate a certain amount but when the roation hits 90

no it wont

so like if i start the sun at 90 its jsut stuck

[faint pasture]

ok so you'll either have to do math or use the combine rotators node

[haughty temple]

if i start it on 91 itll go till 90 and stop

[slate fable]

Im trying to make a simple spawner system that I can place in the world. I need to be able to control waves. wave 1 wave 2 wave 3 etc. while also editing parameters for each wave. spawn X many in this wave. spawn Y many in that wave.

increase difficulty with each wave via more enemies

[faint pasture]

so you have spawn points, and what sort of data does the wave encompass? Type and number?

[slate fable]

with a timer transition period between

[haughty temple]

yea i was thinking of just moving the location each time if i had to, how does the combine rotators work

[slate fable]

yea

[slate fable]

also shows the # in the game

[haughty temple]

so like if its at 90 do i combine 1 to it so it moves it to 91 kind of thing?

[barren tangle]

Hey guys, I do something like that to create my characters.
But somethime some character are missings (invisible) do i need to put delay between each spawn actor?, why it's not all the time, and only random ?

[trim matrix]

just use a timeline or/& a lerp node and that's it?

why all that

[slate fable]

Type, how many there are, wave number, and how many can be there at any given time

that shoot ray error is something else entirely non related to the spawning issue

lol

[haughty temple]

i tried but couldnt figure out the math or whatever to make it work it would just move way to fast on timeline cuz its ticks way more then i need and dont know how to convert that and trying to make it somewhat optimized, i was using dynamicvolumetric cloud which uses something along those lines i believe but i want to update the hud every time the time changed with an event, because when i tried updating the time with a set timer by event to only tick so often becaues the dynamic sky bp was ticking wayyy to much, the time would look like it stuck at certain minutes for longer than others so just didnt look good at all

[stiff leaf]

Are the spawn points enough separated? If they collide they might not spawn actor.

[trim matrix]

0.00001

[barren tangle]

yes they doesn't toutch each other

[trim matrix]

100% you should use always spawns

[barren tangle]

what do you mean? i don't use spawns there?

[stiff leaf]

Under collision handing override

Change that to always spawn

[trim matrix]

and let us know if it works

[barren tangle]

thanks, it's possible that some collision box make that happend?

i will try to generate enough test to see if doesn't appear anymore 😄

[trim matrix]

well, it can be pretty much anything

[barren tangle]

nope it's not that 😄

first test 1 car doesn't appear 😄

[trim matrix]

then do a print and if it doesnt print, the event/functoion or thing is just not being called

[barren tangle]

that's weird because it's the first one supposed to spawn

i will continue to search

[trim matrix]

Are you working with an array? They start at index 0 btw, that might be the issue, I don't know…

[barren tangle]

no i will continue to search, because all car are present and the player controller is able to controll the invisible car, i'm looking on the initialisation order to be sure that everything is completed at the good time 🙂

[stiff leaf]

tried this quickly, works

[trim matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UlcK7MSP75w&ab_channel=TylerSerino

[haughty temple]

that might jsut work gotta do a little more testing, but i have a sky bp so doing the code in the bp, but instead of getting the sun and moon and rotating them it seems i may just be able to rotate then entire actor, it didnt get stuck at 90 doing so but haven't check to make sure everything else still works appreciate you

[faint pasture]

What happens if you feed 0,95,0 into the rotation of something?

[haughty temple]

it would go till the next 90 then stop

[faint pasture]

No i mean what rotation does it end up with?

[stiff leaf]

Yea that was dirty test, dont use Level BP.

[faint pasture]

WHat I'm getting at is that pitch values outside of -90, 90 are invalid

The will be accepted as a rotation for setting the rotation of something, but the end result will not be what you fed it. There are infinite rotations that all map to the same result for any given rotation

You'll probably have success if you generate your rotation like this:

Event -> Thing.Rotation = CombineRotations((0,0,0), (0,YourCurrentPitchMath,0))

That will "do the work" of converting your invalid rotation into a valid one, assuming it actually works.

[haughty temple]

ohhh i think i get what you mean i had that issue when trying to make a drone with the pitch getting wonky due to not being valid, when you rotate the actor over and over the y doesnt jsut increase once it goes around the x and z values change around

[faint pasture]

So why all the jumping around, just make a simple event that does all the logic in one place

[faint pasture]

Yup. Combine and Delta treat rotations as quaternions on the back end so they play nice without gimbal lock. Doing arithmetic on the angle values will lock all over the place in the extremes.

If you didn't need a 100% deterministic Time -> Rotation function, you could also get away with using AddLocalRotation, but after a few hundred spins you might see errors.

[haughty temple]

appreciate the knowledge! 😄

[slate fable]

i followed a tutorial 🤣 the tutorial doesnt seem to have issues but theres gotta be some reason even though i've followed it front to back and have been looking at this for like 3 days

he never included a hey btw youre gonna run into this error heres the fix

but it does work for the most part It jus needs optimized or somethin I could try to rewrite everything but im still learning so Why i didnt write one from scratch is just due to my ignorance of the engine which im correcting slowly as i learn more

[queen dagger]

so i have a combo string

i almost have it figured out however when you press e it plays the first and second sequentially without need for the input again

that is what is handling the combo work idk what to add where in order for it to need a second press to get the second stage of the combo to work

[fading sentinel]

guys please i need some help, dont know how to get this running.

[deep void]

Hello!
Does anyone know how to make a timeline work for multiple objects?
I have 4 objects I want to slowly make visible in the scene, I did this by looping through all the actors in the scene, and using a timeline to scale up a opacity parameter.
However when this runs, 1 object works correctly (fades in), but the other 3 just immediately appear.
I've tried hooking the timeline up other ways and I cant seem to find anyone online that knows a solution :/

[fiery ridge]

forloop + timeline = disaster imo

[trim matrix]

well the timeline should probably be an event in the actor that you call with the loop

so each actor can run the timeline on their own side

[proud notch]

Hi I am working on a BP that generates parking spaces with cars in them, the problem I am having is I can't align them correctly.

There is a way I can align them but then the cars appears floating over the surface.

I found out that, there is inconsistent rotation when the surface is not planar. (see image) if I can have consistency in the rotation, then I can fix the alignment problem.

I am using a line trace to find the normal of the surface but rotation in the Z axis are inconsistent.

Any advice on how to avoid ambiguity in the Z axis rotation on a line trace normal hit ?

[desert juniper]

If you’re planning on using a custom mesh for the parking spaces (as opposed to painting the lines, parking spots on standard meshes), then you can add sockets with specific axis rotations

[proud notch]

the lines are working as intended, the problem is with the cars, I need them to be aligned to the ground and the gound have some variance, when I hit those spots, then the rotation of the car is not consistent.

On red a not flat surface, on green a flat surface, note the rotation inconsistency.

[valid solstice]

Hey I was just wondering what should I do to make my character not be able to jump while in the animation?

[faint pasture]

show your alignment code

[dull shell]

On Jump Input before the Jump function, check if Character is playing any montage

[deep void]

Thanks so much, I'll give this a go 🙂

[valid solstice]

If I wanted to add another animation to my attack so right when the first one ends the second one starts so like a combo with different attack animations what should I put here?

[dull shell]

I suggest looking up a good Combo System tutorial

[dull shell]

A code snapshot would help

[valid solstice]

I just wanna know how to switch the animation right after the first one is ending

[lunar sleet]

Prly an anim notify end

[valid solstice]

Okay thanks one more question for some reason after I do an action it starts the Unequip effect starts I only want it to happen when sword goes on my back not when im walking or dashing

[lunar sleet]

Then build your state machine around that or just use a bool

[valid solstice]

How would it look? if you dont mind showing me the bp

[lunar sleet]

No one here is going to code for you, the most you’ll get is pseudocode. And using a branch to check if a bool is true or false before allowing something to happen is as basic as it gets. I’d recommend going though the “your first hour in Unreal” and other such courses to learn the basics so you are able to walk before you try to run

[trim matrix]

lmao

[lunar sleet]

As for #animation there’s decent docs and also pins in that channel

[light turret]

I've made a system that tilts the camera as the player moves, using the Right Veloccity to drive a blend space which rotates a bone in the Character Mesh, which the camera is a child of (to the 'head' socket).

It works unless the player is facing the -x or -y direction. In this case, the animation freezes (the Velocity value is still being calculated correctly) until the player has rotated away, whereupon it "snaps" to its correct position. You can see this 'snapping' behavior at the end of the vid where I hard-set the 'tilt' value to 1.

Moving the camera backwards by at least 40 units (just outside the bounds of the capsule comp) fixes it, but that's obviously problematic.

In the video, the white cube is to help see the effect. The 'Parent Socket' in the camera component appears blank as it's being set in the CPP and doesn't show up in the blueprints.

Does someone have a know why this is happening?

It feels like a collision issue of some kind, but it makes no sense the direction I'm facing would make a difference

[limber parcel]

he is trying to get people on here to code stuff for him for like a week now xD

[trim matrix]

no way lol

[limber parcel]

yeah looks like he just refuses to use tutorials

[dull shell]

Try doing it without the Additive just for debugging purpose

[light turret]

I have, it's the same thing

Well, just as in doing this

[dull shell]

Kinda weird. Let me try and reproduce this

[limber parcel]

u sure ure not multiplying by zero at some point?

[light turret]

Literally all the code used is in the vid, it ain't anything complex I'm doing.

There's some CPP but that just adds the camera and stuff

All the code for driving the blendspace is blueprint

[limber parcel]

ahh yes.

[faint pasture]

smells like a rendering / culling issue

either way that's probably an #animation question

[light turret]

I don't see how personally. Could you expand on that suggestion?

[faint pasture]

The fact that it fixes if you back the camera up a bit

How is the non-tilted camera movement driven?

[light turret]

With a socket in the rig

[light turret]

Moving the camera forward also fixes it, so I don't think it's culling the rig. Plus why would the culling only happen at two specific rotations?

[faint pasture]

So the transform heirarchy goes:
Capsule
Mesh
Bone
Socket
right?

[light turret]

Yes, I believe so

[faint pasture]

Show your math for the mouse -> socket rotation stuff

[light turret]

The socket's move with a blendspace, driven by the velocity. The mouse input I'm pretty sure is quite standard.

When I put a Print on the velocity, it shows it's getting correctly calculated even while the animation is stuck

[dull shell]

How are you controlling the pitch btw

[light turret]

A little bit of CPP, but it's unrelated to the issue, as disconnecting pitch altogether doesn't change the issue

[limber parcel]

dividing by zero isnt much better than multiplying by zero btw

[light turret]

Meaning?

Something breaking with the dot product at specific rotations?

[limber parcel]

if your dot product is 0, it wont set a speed

[faint pasture]

The dot should always be valid, if that expression always makes good looking numbers then it's not the problem.

[limber parcel]

or more like, 0 speed

[dull shell]

I tried to reproduce your bug but couldn't let me send you a video of my setup

@light turret https://streamable.com/c3ykm8?src=player-page-share

[light turret]

But even when I hard set MoveRightSpeed to 1, it still is frozen in the default position when I spawn (facing a broken direction) and then snaps to the correct rotation when I start to turn

[faint pasture]

Sounds to me like a bones not being updated / refreshed thing

[proud notch]

will post it tomorrow, it is a mess but will try to explain it.

[light turret]

Damn, alright

Thank you, really

[light turret]

I couldn't catch how the camera's attached to the bone. Did you use a socket to the head bone?

[dull shell]

Also try this in your skeletal mesh component property

[dull shell]

Directly to bone

[light turret]

Ah!

Genius

[dull shell]

Did it work?

[light turret]

It already was on Always Tick Pose but I put it to ...and Refresh Bones and now it works

[dull shell]

Nice!

[light turret]

So maybe Adriel was right, some kind of culling problem

[dull shell]

Kinda weird cuz Always Tick Pose doesn't care about culling

[light turret]

It's become a running joke with a friend of my, Unreal and its "magic buttons" that just fix things, but you've no idea what that button is. Once again it's just the same.

Yeah, much of this makes no sense. Why does it care about if you're facing a specific direction? 🤷

[dull shell]

I just reproduced your bug. Using Always Tick Pose

Yeah Always Tick Pose and Refresh bones is the way to go lol

[light turret]

Thank you, SKGamer

[dull shell]

No Problem!

[warped juniper]

Hi there everyone!
I have a very simple thing I'm making... This is a minigame with 2 balls the player can control. The idea is that several obstacles come from both sides of the screen andthe player has to avoid them by moving the balls up and down.
Thing is, the minigame is a separate actor. How can I use a separate actor for creating the obstacles, while also being able to create / delete it?

[unique cloud]

Going crazy - My replace Inline does not work as intended... I was told it update the Source String (which is a text variable), but despite the word are found, the string Replacement text is the right one, and the value of the Replace Inline does confirm there was a change... The Text Variable remain unchanged after. What could cause this behavior?

[frosty heron]

You have more chance getting help if you share your code

[odd kiln]

Hi all!

Does anyone know how can I set 2 fixed states of speed with the joystick ?

I want that if I don't put the joystick to the maximum the character is walking at a fixed speed

And if I set it to the maximum it runs

I don't want a "blend"

[upper badger]

Im using a slightly modified version of the first person template. I added crouching just now. But when I went to test it, I got this error: Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property CallFunc_GetMovementComponent_ReturnValue". Node: Set bIsInAir Graph: EventGraph Function: Execute Ubergraph First Person Anim BP Blueprint: FirstPerson_AnimBP. But I didnt change anything in the anim BP recently, and it used to work fine before I added crouching. What should I be looking at here?

[spark steppe]

just check the value range and use a branch/select node to set the speed that you want?!

[odd kiln]

I tried to do that the problem is that sometimes my input value (of the joystick axis) is 0.9 and not 1 if I don't push the stick correctly

How can I detect if my stick is at maximum reach ?

[spark steppe]

you can't

joysticks are analog inputs, expect that they may have a low value even if nothing is pressed, so have a deadzone (e.g. 0 - 0.1) and expect that it will never reach full 1.0 value

some joysticks may hide that by their firmware, others might not

if you want more accuracy let the user calibrate their joystick in your game settings, to capture the min/max values

[odd kiln]

So how should I do to set just two states of speed

If it never reaches 1 or -1 because of the deadzone

[spark steppe]

input => sequence => each sequence output to a branch, upper checks for float in range 0.1 - 0.8, that's your walk branch, lower branch checks for float in range (0.8-1) thats your running branch

[odd kiln]

Oh ok so I have to set 0.8 instead of 1 or -1, thanks

[spark steppe]

or you just check >= 0.8 or whereever you want the switch to running

if the same event fires also for backwards, etc. you can also just use the absolute value and later multiply by the sign value of your input value

i would set the deadzone in the input action/mapping tho

like 0-0.05 or smth, depends on the joystick i guess

[odd kiln]

So I set it by default ?

I just want something simple : 0 = Idle. Between 0 and 1 = Walk. 1 = Run

[spark steppe]

you set the deadzone in the input action to e.g. 0-0.05, just to ignore any low false input

then do what i suggested earlier, check if its in range of 0.05-0.8 for walking, and >=0.8 for running

you can change those values until you see fit

but you can't be sure to get an value of 1.0 from an analog input (even on "full throttle")

[odd kiln]

Ok thank you very much I'll try that !

[spark steppe]

.95 will probably be fine, too

[odd kiln]

But I have a problem

When I go diagonally my Axis value is at 0.78 for example

Do I have to add the "Forward Backward" axis to the "Right Left" axis value ?

[spark steppe]

idk what the best solution for this is

[odd kiln]

It's ok I added them it works

Thanks !

[wicked cairn]

Anyone know if there are more resources or tutorials on the Wave Function Collapse plugin that UE5 implemented? All I'm finding is information on plugins other people have made and the documantation doesn't give much information

[sick sky]

lets say i start PIE in Level 1, and then load level 2

how can i see at runtime the level 2 BP ?

because rn the editor viewport is in the level 1, so i can only access level 1 BP

[frosty heron]

how about don't use level bp?

[harsh coral]

Quick question: How do I access postprocess settings in a postprocess volume in construction script in a blueprint?

NVM, found it

[dry sleet]

It includes a demo level, which I found helpful enough to replicate from.

And maybe the source code had some helpful comments, too, I don't remember.

[harsh coral]

My blueprint is rather heavy, featuring 300+skeletal meshes, its for ease of access/animation and used to render cinematics.
So all settings need to be accessible in editor and need to be accessible to sequencer.

I´m still adding things and I will probably have to change/add things a lot in the near future.

Right now each compile takes a few minutes, which is fine, but even changing any variable settings is quite heavy.

Is there anything I can do to make it a bit snappier when editing?

Is all in one construction script with a large sequence:

[frosty heron]

Don't think there's saving it, at least I don;'t know how

my bp only project takes 5 seconds to compile

[harsh coral]

I was also trying to make something else work but gave up (rotating with a slider was making it lag/crash), someone suggested using a boolean switch after the construction script has run, but I´m not sure if or where I could insert that, so it doesn´t have to evaluate all settings when I for example only change the post process settings, it shouldn´t have to evaluate the settings for all 300 skeletal meshes.

[harsh coral]

😦

[dark drum]

You could try moving it from the construction script and have the functionality in editor callable functions.

If you make a change in the BP and compile, it has to update all the instances in the level which is probably why it's taking so long. If it's editor callable functions, you would have to manually call them (select the actor and click the relevant button in the details panel) this can sometimes help if it would cause a lot of things to update.

[harsh coral]

I haven´t looked into editor callable functions, does that mean its a button that opens a widget or something or is it basically the same as editing variables in the detail panel?

[dark drum]

Create a function, mark it as call in editor. This will then make a button appear in the details panel when the actor is selected. Click it to call the function.

The button will just be called the same name as the function. It will also follow any categories you've put the function in.

[harsh coral]

Ok, thanks, I´ll check it out.

[harsh coral]

Hm, not sure I´m doing it right. I made the function "editar callable" and removed it from the construction script. Now I have the "post process set" button were it should be, but all the variables I defined in the function are still where the were before.
I can change them but they are not going into effect unless I press the "postprocess set" button again.
Which is how its supposed to work I guess.

Problem is:
I have the same crazy lag, when I try to drag any of the variable sliders values as I had yesterday with the rotation function...

Green values are set outside the function

Compiling is faster than before, but changing the settings doesn´t seem to be making much of a difference, wether I have it as a function thats callable in editor or wether I just connect it in the blueprint sequence.

[real notch]

I have an event dispatcher on my pawn (OnDeath), and I want to listen to it in the player controller (to open the death screen). For some reason my event dispatcher doesn't seem to work. I know I am calling it, but the listener in the controller never gets triggered. What could I be doing wrong?

[frosty heron]

have you bind the event? and is the event dispatcher called after the binding is commited?

[real notch]

I did. And I don't know about after. If I use "Bind event to On Death" after begin play it does work

Bottom one doesn't work

Kinda liked the single node, but I guess it tried binding before the pawn exists

[frosty heron]

I don't know what happend in the image you posted

but you need to bind the event from a valid instance before u call any events

[real notch]

What do you mean you don't know what happened?

If I use "Bind event to On Death" after begin play it does work
This is the top event (going through bind). If I instead link it to the "On Death" event (dispatcher in the pawn) it doesn't get called. But it does work in other places.

[frosty heron]

I don't know what happend inside your project, from a single picture

but event dispatcher is as simple as , you bind event, then you call it. Only then the binded events get triggered

[real notch]

So my guess is that dispatcher bindings get registered too early

Well yes, but that's what I assumed would happen through the dispatcher node

[frosty heron]

I don't think so, as long Snake Pawn is valid

doesn't matter when u bind it imo

earlier the better

as long u bind it before u call death

it will work

[real notch]

Oh wait, I think I know why the second node didn't work

It's because the pawn doesn't exist on my controller until begin play.

Problem solved :p

[dark drum]

Yea you would need to click the button again when you need them to update.

As for the value slides, sometimes setting min and max values for them can help. However if nothing is running on construction script it shouldn't be an issue so I'm not sure what's causing it.

[harsh coral]

Yeah, its really frustrating. There already are min/max values in the variables. It was rather late yesterday, so I don´t remember if it also happend when I disconnected the whole sequence from the construction script start and only left in the variable that made it lag, but I think that was the case.
Didn´t happen in a fresh blueprint I made for testing, so its somewhere buried in there I guess...:(

Yep, just tested again. I don´t understand whats being evaluated here...any idea on where to start troubleshooting?
Do the macru functions inthe construction script still get updated, even if they are not hooked up to the construction scripts execution pin?

[dark drum]

If they are not connected, they don't get called.

[harsh coral]

Then I really don´t understand why its so slow to update...

Like I said, works fine in a new BP

[dark drum]

I can see you still have the PP one being called on construction. If you unhook it, does it still lag when changing values?

[harsh coral]

yep

Literally takes 5 minutes til I can work again...

I even deleted all functions from the construction script, same issue.
Its more like 1 minute rather than 5, but still.

[dark drum]

How many of the BP do you have in the level?

[harsh coral]

Just one.

[frosty heron]

but 300 skeletal mesh component

probably adds up imo

[harsh coral]

Even if they are not in any active macro function in the construction script?

[frosty heron]

No idea, but I don't have good experience with anything bulky in bp

suffering my self

[dark drum]

As cold said, it's probably down to the 300 skeletal meshes. I've never worked with a BP with that many components.

[harsh coral]

Yeah, its a lot of them...

I need to be able to separately access every single muscle and bone.

[sick sky]

on error can i tell UE to automatically pause the PIE and open the graph and go to the node where there is the error ?

[harsh coral]

Its always been a problem, even when I was still rendering in 3ds max.

maybe there is an option in skeletal meshes to not get updated every tick? If they are causing the delays, even when unrelated variables are being edited.

[frosty heron]

You've been asking for static variables, cpp stuff for multiplayer and now a debug behavior in IDE, why not just dive in to cpp already?

[dark drum]

It could be this. I have not experienced it myself but it might be worth a try.

https://www.reddit.com/r/unrealengine/comments/11uf2q2/ue5_blueprint_editor_lag_fixed/

[harsh coral]

Thanks, but I don´t think so. Moving/connecting nodes is rather snappy. Only changing variables is slow, in blueprint as well as in editor.

[barren tangle]

hello

this functione doesn't seems to works on Shipping version

[harsh coral]

I´m gonna try figure out how to temporarily disable actor tick

[barren tangle]

do you know why?

[frosty heron]

works for me

actually I don't know about scalibility level

[dark drum]

I think you need to apply the settings once you make the change.

[frosty heron]

but any other settings like texture, etc, works

[dark drum]

Unticking 3 boxes in the windows settings will only take 10 seconds. When you hoover over the variable, it does give you a tooltip so the fade might be the cause. I would still give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, you can just turn it back on.

[harsh coral]

Hmpf, I don´t even know how to see the performance profiler...Hopeing I could get some insight from that too.

[olive pasture]

hi everyone. i have a spring arm + camera attached to a physics object. the issue is once i enable camera lag on the spring arm i get jittering. i see theres this parameter "Clamp to Max Physics Delta Time" on the spring arm but it appears to do nothing. is there some step i am missing?

ive also tried changing the tick group of the spring arm but still the jitter remains

any help appreciated

[sick sky]

to be honest i dont really know, i guess i dont want to learn how do to stuff im used to do easily in BP

i guess i can try remaking this project in cpp this week end and see if it goes right

it feels like restarting to 0

[frosty heron]

it's easy to chop veggies with a knife but not easy to hammer nails with it. You will have to use the right tool for the right job, no shortcut

[sick sky]

when you use cpp, how often do you do stuff in blueprints ?

[frosty heron]

I kinda stop developing for a while, been learning the vanilla stuff

and not the right person to ask, I don't know much cpp

[sick sky]

i saw some examples of people declaring stuff in cpp then using them in BP, i dont see the point sometimes

[frosty heron]

U meant to use both

the proportion is up to you but bp are good for referencing assets

You can just do the stuff that u cant do in bp in cpp and use bp for the rest of the stuff

@sick sky I used cpp because I hit the wall

[sick sky]

ill start remaking the project from scratch using cpp

[frosty heron]

couldn't sprint using Bp, couldn't use Gas with bp only

[sick sky]

i really dont want to do that later on, because it would mean more work

and i like to lean new stuff, and to code "the right way"

[frosty heron]

I don't think learning cpp helps you code the right way

the principle is the same

but you get access to things that is not exposed to bp

[sick sky]

well, i will be able to do more stuff

[frosty heron]

at the very least, it's mandatory to replace bp struct with cpp one

what multiplayer game are u making btw?

[sick sky]

what i meant is that is that i am doing game design studies, knowing how cpp work in one of the biggest video game engine is a good thing to have in my pocket

[frosty heron]

Well if you want to be a game developer, you won't get a job only knowing bp

[sick sky]

since i am doing multiplayer, doing BP only will probably make my dev stop at some point

[frosty heron]

I graduated from Games art and design degree in Uni

a complete waste of money

[sick sky]

rn im going with game designer, so dev is "bonus"
but i like developing, so why not try cpp

[frosty heron]

@sick sky bp only still possible for board games, turn based, etc

[sick sky]

your talking about mp ?

[frosty heron]

yes

When lag is not an issue, it's easy mode

[sick sky]

my game is kinda close to games like "the escapist", but in mp, so i need to manage a lot of stuff. some stuff comes close to systems you can see in "satisfactory"

all in BP would be proably hard or very messy

[frosty heron]

Never played the game

[sick sky]

well its a lot of networking

[frosty heron]

but if u don't need combat and just some small interaction, then it should be fine imo

[sick sky]

and IA pawns that interacts with players and stuff

i guess i'll stay on my BP only;

later on i can make part of processes in cpp

and if im really stuck in multiple processes i'll restart the porject to cpp

[frosty heron]

@sick sky i checked the game, can the player sprints?

[sick sky]

yes

[frosty heron]

then that's probably when u want to use cpp

[sick sky]

i already had a discussion about issues with bp regarding sprinting

[frosty heron]

Yeah, no way around it

[sick sky]

and corrections

[frosty heron]

that's how CMC is made

not possible in BP

[sick sky]

i still got it working (didnt add stamina yet)

didnt try with lag

[frosty heron]

ye then it's not working

it will not work

[sick sky]

wdym

it does work rn

[frosty heron]

because u didnt introduce lag

in reality it never work

u will get rubber banded doing sprint in bp for multiplayer

[sick sky]

i could make the sprint part in cpp then ?

[frosty heron]

yes, that's a must tbh

no way around it

[sick sky]

its an actor component using the passed CMC

[frosty heron]

someone already done tutorial for it

[sick sky]

well, ill try this WE

[frosty heron]

Delgoodie

If u see bp sprints, all of them are scams imo

Either they dont introduce lag

or they set max walk speed in server

which means if u have 1 second delay, ur character will sprint 1 second after u press shift

that's not acceptable in my book and I will instant uninstall a game like that

[sick sky]

that was whtt i did

[sick sky]

i guess its this one

[frosty heron]

u dont have to follow everything he did

just the one for sprint is good enough

[sick sky]

... but i was setting the speed in client first

[frosty heron]

don't matter, u will get correction

because in server eyes, u are not sprinting

so u get de-sync

I mean just try adding some lag and test away

[sick sky]

ill do that

[frosty heron]

Open console NetEmulation.PktLag 400

[sick sky]

tried with this

i only get a bit of rollback (not always) but thats it

[frosty heron]

I never use the setting from project settings, no idea what those do

might be the same

[sick sky]

tried, well its laggy but its not related to the sprint

the character mouvement is just delayed

[frosty heron]

Ye that's what I mean by, the player starting to sprint/walk after (number of ping)

[sick sky]

wait i didnt explained well

for the client 1 that is moving (with my kb), no delay

for the other client 2 that isnt moving, i see my client 1 movement with delay

so the server has the delay, not the client

[frosty heron]

Your "client 1" is probably the server, which always have 0 delay

[sick sky]

nope

net mode is play as client

so both are clients

and none server aswell

server is dedicated

[barren tangle]

Is there an apply function?

[frosty heron]

the visual would be delayed ofc, that's what happend when there is ping.
The problem is with calling server RPC to change movement speed

Press something, run RPC
That RPC will run depend on your ping

[barren tangle]

For me the set was enough ?

[dark drum]

yea.

[barren tangle]

Thanks!

[frosty heron]

say u are shooting a gun, if ur gun shoot 1 second later, isn't that unacceptable?

[sick sky]

ofc it is

but this isnt linked to CMC

[frosty heron]

it's the same, you are calling server RPC to change the max walk speed

Press Shift -> Sprint

player with 400 ms

Will start sprinting later on

after a few second

but if u think it's working then I don't know what else to say

can only tell you what I had experienced

and after completing the tutorial, I know why bp sprint will never work

[gentle urchin]

Never work flawlessly*

[frosty heron]

I have my own bar >_>

[gentle urchin]

Cedric went over this yesterday

[frosty heron]

I'm ok with the treasure chest opened 1 second after

[gentle urchin]

With the cmc

[frosty heron]

but if I start sprinting after 1 second, I will smash my keyboard

[sick sky]

there is no game where the other players see no lag when 1 player has 100 ms

ofc the 100ms player will lag

for others

[frosty heron]

yea but in player's machine, there is no delay

when their character start sprinting or start walking

[sick sky]

i still dont see the issue of BP

the lag is because of the player conenction, i will not be able to bypass the ping in cpp

[frosty heron]

The issue is the de-sync

lag will always exist

hence CMC implementation to combat that to make the experience seamless

the video you posted goes over that

[sick sky]

Ill look at it

[sick sky]

I dont see why the combat is linked to the character movements

[frosty heron]

combating lag

to tackle lag*

[sick sky]

Oh you mean combat

Not combat

💀

[frosty heron]

My English is pretty bad

[sick sky]

I thought about combat stuff, like swords, shooting

[frosty heron]

I would advice u to un-read whatever I said and just go over the video

[barren tangle]

thanks it works now 🙂

[sick sky]

But for example, my shooting stuff isnt linked to CMC

So how is it usefull

[frosty heron]

Forget about shooting

i mention calling server RPC quite a few times >_>

it can be anything really

Say U have 400 ms (in extreme scenario)

When u press a key to send that RPC, it takes 400 MS to reach the server

and another 400 MS for the variable to be replicated to you

[sick sky]

Yeah, and ?

[frosty heron]

So your character will start sprinting few seconds after you press the shift key

Games implement client prediction which what the CMC does

the video also go over it

it's a long one but that's the info

I will not be able to explain better than him

[dark drum]

As an FYI, apply settings (as it the name suggests) applies every settings that can configured. This includes the screen resolution and if the game is full screen. If this causes issues, you can use the apply non resolution one. 🙂

[barren tangle]

thanks. but i don't know why it works without apply settings outside the shipping version

[sick sky]

It feels weird that the Character Movement Component is uses to prevent lag for stuff OTHER than movement (ex: shooting)

[frosty heron]

I don't know what you mean by that

[sick sky]

Well

How do i prevent lag when my players shoot an bullet ?

With cmc

[gentle urchin]

No?

[frosty heron]

u dont use cmc?

I mean I heard of some instsance where people route Hit detection to cmc but I know nothing about that

[sick sky]

Well i keep asking the question and you kept talking about cmc

[frosty heron]

anyway that;s irrelevant

[sick sky]

Thats why im confused

[frosty heron]

I am also confused at what you mean

[sick sky]

So :
The cmc only helps for movement right ?

[frosty heron]

it's responsible for character movement, yes

[sick sky]

Such as mouving, jumping, sprinting

[frosty heron]

and have inbuilt implementation for networked movement

[sick sky]

So i cant really fix the lag for other stuff

[gentle urchin]

No

[frosty heron]

yea no

[sick sky]

Which is logical

Okay we all good

[frosty heron]

You will have to implement the code your self for other stuff

[gentle urchin]

You can still do regular prediction

[sick sky]

Ill try to add the sprint to cmc in cpp

[gentle urchin]

And savedmoves implementation if you know whats up

[frosty heron]

Client prediction, server reconciliation, rewinding, etc

[sick sky]

Ill have to do some research on that

[frosty heron]

if u r making a shooter game then you should

if u are just doing simple interaction multiplayer game

U can get away not doing them

[sick sky]

Im in betweenn

[trim matrix]

are these possible in BP?

[frosty heron]

Client prediction yes

[regal bronze]

What does it mean for a reference viewer line to be grayed out?

[frosty heron]

Server validation server reconciliation ,no

From what I heard

[frosty heron]

Show picture

[regal bronze]

wish I could. Is there a guideline for what the different connection colors mean?

[trim matrix]

teh class is unknow

prob empty

[frosty heron]

I don't know what specific thing your talking about, if you print screen, I might have an idea

[regal bronze]

I can´t send the actual screenshot due to NDA. In the documentation I found that nodes can appear semi transluscent like here. In my case it is the arrows that are semi transluscent.

Just want to make sure there are no dangling references

[frosty heron]

The answer is written in the doc that you post

From what I read they are still referenced

Just got compacted because u filtered it out

[regal bronze]

Actually no. I found what it was, a bit convoluted. I had an old node that reference MyAssetA and I replaced the reference in the node with MyAssetB (linked anim graph nodes in an anim blueprint). However ref viewer was still showing a reference to MyAssetA. By copying the node as text in a text editor I saw that the FunctionReference of the node was still MyAssetA - however the MemberGuid was unchanged, likely why the reference was still there.
I think ref viewer somehow notices that these references aren´t hard references and paints the connections (not the nodes) grayed out. Hope it helps someone using search in the future !

[young meteor]

Anyone know why my image seem to just be a solid white when I use it as a Texture in a material I made?
Was saved as a PNG 8 from photoshop. (256 x 256)
Tried checking and unchecking the sRBG tickbox with no luck.

[obtuse mulch]

everything around it is white too

that node doesnt show translucency

should be fine in the widget

[young meteor]

The widget is just a solid white too.

Modified by some math, but not with the transparent parts that are actually in the image.

Works with a different image, but that one shows a black background around the part I want.

[obtuse mulch]

with black you can do chroma key texture

selecting black color

[young meteor]

I mean the black part is actually alpha 0 in the image. It just shows as black here.

[obtuse mulch]

i would check them in photoshop

i remember it happened to me few times

[young meteor]

I've had this issue before too. Feel like I unchecked and checked the sRBG box and it worked last time. Does not seem to do the trick this time.

[obtuse mulch]

dunno if bug or not but literally unfixable

[young meteor]

Using alpha channel specifically also makes the pattern appear. So it does actually have info for that channel.

[frigid summit]

hi guys how do i fix this

[lofty rapids]

what am i looking at here ?

[frigid summit]

enemy colliding with the charcter

[lofty rapids]

i'm guessing the player arm is outside the capsule ?

[frigid summit]

here is all the spring arms

[lofty rapids]

idk about spring arm, i think is your character is outside the capsule

so there is no collision for that, probably need some physics or something idk

[frigid summit]

i just checked its inside it i tried also to on actor begin overlap to respond ignore all channels on enemy and it didnt work

[next kite]

Is anyone in here a fan of need for speed unbound

or heat?

ive been trying to figure out how they made the camera but i cant quite get my head around it

I´m struggling to figure out how to set visibility/hidden in game for an array of Skeletal meshes, when they are part of different arrays:
For exmaple I have a bool variable for "Arms" and one for "Legs", but I also have a bool for "Left" and "Right". So, when I set "Arms" to visible, but "Left" to invisible, I can´t make it work, as the arms are also part of the array "left", so the visibility for the arms in the array "arms" gets overridden.

I get the arrays by adding component tags and then using "get components by tag" and I added multiple tags to each component ("Arms" and "Left" for example).

Hi!
I'm prototyping a Blueprint Editor Widget for the Foliage Editor that should make it easier to select assets corresponding with a specific subzone.

For now, by pressing a button I want to either select both bushes or the chair & table. From there I can make the rest work.

Unfortunately, I've not been able to figure out how to select or deselect items in this part of the interface, and documentation is a little thin and I haven't found any YT videos on the topic either.
I've been messing around with the Element Selection Interface with no results (Again, not much documentation found sadly)
Does anyone have some tips?

[strong rover]

I'd recommend keeping a single map for all components which can change visibility, and have the boolean set in this map.
An extra map, referencing already loaded assets, won't be too expensive.
On changed bools (Either as part of a function or by making the variables set to replicate), you can then access the relevant SM and execute the desired result.
If it's its own blueprint appended to the Skeletal Mesh, it can also have some functions for when you want "the entire left" or "both arms" enabled/disabled. But by having a single manager, it would hopefully be less likely to override your desired results?

[harsh coral]

The skeletal meshes are all in the same blueprint, so I need to do it all in there.
And it all has to happen in construction script, its not used in a game, just for cinematics.

[strong rover]

Does it have to be unique to each character/setup?
If not, maybe make an Event for any configuration you want and use an Enum to kick off the correct configuration(s) on construction?
It's not as elegant, admittedly.

[harsh coral]

Yeah. Its a reusable master blueprint, that is being used throughout multiple shots of a TV production.
So every shot has different requirements for visibility.

Something like this.

[strong rover]

Oof... Okay, that's outside my field of reference. Good luck 💜

[harsh coral]

Haha, no worries.

Its probably just a more complicated boolean setup. I hate those.

I was hoping I could do something like "if has tag X AND tag Y, set to visible", doing this with arrays doesn´t seem like the right way to do it, but I´m just stuck.

[strong rover]

Oh, I thought you were already running it like that.
I'd definitely go that route if you weren't already.

[lofty rapids]

so if you set it with arms, then don't override it ?

if i understand what your doing at all

[strong rover]

Custom Event: For each in loop (Muscle Array) --> Get Tags from object Array --> Tags Contains X, branch if true --> Tags Contains Y, branch if true --> Do your thing

[harsh coral]

Like: If I hide the Left side, left arm and left leg are hidden.
But if I hide the arms and then unhide left side, the arms should stay hidden.
Or if I hide the arms and then hide the left side, only the left side of the arms should be hidden.

Since the arms have the tags "arms" and "left", they are in both the arrays for "left" AND "arms" and one visibility bool always overwrites the other, depending on the sequence order I put them in.

[dark drum]

is there a way to get if an instance is running in editor vs standalone. There's a few things don't want to happen during testing.

[lofty rapids]

in c it's fairly easy i think

[lofty rapids]

it looks like theres a work around https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/is-there-a-way-to-check-in-blueprints-if-your-in-standalone-game-or-not/284133/15

at the bottom of that, not sure it works i didn't actually try it

[dark drum]

Worth a try lol

[harsh coral]

So, I´ve got the arms in the arrays "left" and "right" and "arms".
If I set the visibility to "visible" (not hidden) but then try to set the visibility of the left side to "hidden", the hidden gets overridden by the "visible" setting below in the sequence.

[dark drum]

The PlayerStartPIE method didn't work for me but that might be because I don't actually spawn any characters at that point. I was able to use the packaged for distribution node that it also mentioned. Thanks for the help. 🙂

[harsh coral]

I could go even more granular and make checkboxes for "hide left arms" and "hide right arms", but then I also need more tags and arrays and it gets a bit confusing, so I was hoping I could do a global "left" or "right" visibility checkbox instead.

[lofty rapids]

so you don't want to overwrite the ones you've already set ?

you could keep an array like mentioned of all the ones you already set

and check if it contains the one you want to change

[harsh coral]

I don´t know what I want...:)
Is it not clear from the picture/description?

[lofty rapids]

the "hidden" gets overriden by the visible ? so what you set it to first overwrites what you set it to after ?

i would think the oposite

[harsh coral]

I want it to work both ways:

1. I set the "left side" to hidden. All left side meshes are hidden.
   Then I set the "Arms" to visible. They are visible, but only the left side.
2. I set the arms to "invisible", but then the "left side" also to visible.
   Now the arms stay invisible, all the other parts are visible as well, but only the left side.

Big Question regarding Replace Inline - I want to filter and switch word by asterix, the asterix based on length comes out fine but it seems like the Replace Inline does not change the Message Value which I though it was automatic with it. What I'm I getting wrong?

[lofty rapids]

the 2 part makes sense, but in the first part i feel like thats opposite normal logic

[lofty rapids]

so replace inline isn't actually changing the source string ?

[unique cloud]

correct

[lofty rapids]

maybe because your converting it

so it's no longer the original reference ?

atleast i would think that might matter idk still learning

[unique cloud]

based on what I found about the Replace Inline it should be working, but Ill try to save the value as a string see if it work.

[lofty rapids]

i feel like converting it from name to text might change the reference

idk how true that is

[unique cloud]

yeah its a weird behavior, it work by setting the txt value as a string before the change, thanks Ill work with that !

[strong rover]

If anyone knows more on Blueprint Utility Widgets & the Foliage Mode, I'd appreciate any tips.
Still stuck on this and running out of ideas I'm afraid.

[ornate trail]

what could be causing knockback on overlap? I have impulses disabled in the meshes and collision set to query only. Yet still on Box overlap collision my player is getting knocked back.

The collision profile also also has pretty much everthing set to ignore at this point for testing, besides the overlap box component.

[lofty rapids]

wdym "knockback" ?

is there some sort of function running that does this or ?

[ornate trail]

player goes flying 30 meters

nothing I wrote

[lofty rapids]

and are you using physics ?

[ornate trail]

no, every profile is set to query only

the melee overlap collision is just this

[lofty rapids]

does everything colliding do this, or just the player, enemey ? do both get "knockback" ? or just one

[ornate trail]

both, I noticed when they hit each other they sometimes go flying, even though enemy to enemy collision is filtered.. well the overlap filters it anyway

[lofty rapids]

is the knockback proportion to velocity, like a fast collision goes farther back ?

are you simulation physics on either one ?

[ornate trail]

doesn't seem to be, appears just to be an issue of mesh collision

or possibly with the box component, not sure which

let me try smth

[lofty rapids]

well i'm thinking either your simulating physics or it's in the code of the overlap events

[ornate trail]

yeah, thats what it feels like, I just cant find it

[thin cradle]

dunno if this is the right place but 1) is it normal for the game to not wait for a level to be fully loaded before starting gameplay when using Open Level and 2) is there a way to force it to?

[maiden heath]

Hi guys, question is there a plugin or something similar webserver that outputs values that I read and I assign those same values to variables in my project? Because I would like in a website to receive values (e.g. X = 1 and Y = 5) and here I can give values to blueprint variables

[lofty rapids]

are you dynamically loading stuff ?

[lofty rapids]

normally what use is an api

[thin cradle]

I'm just doing Load Level with a completely normal level

it just has a lot of stuff in it & I guess until now levels loaded fast enough we didn't notice it didn't actually freeze?

[ornate trail]

figured it out, I had to ignore pawn in the enemy profile. Not sure why but the enemy SK mesh overlapping the capsule, which is pawn by default, was causing the knock back

[thin cradle]

ok figured out the problem

designers/artists split the level into 2 sublevel for the sake of organisation and apparently that makes them load asynchronously

[lofty rapids]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ln1Dk2pF2Bg
you'll just need to parse the data from whatever api you are using, and you need a get not a post
i have not tried it yet so i can't confirm it works but it looks legit it's a plugin

[golden kite]

I'm curious about this @unique cloud but for some reason your images are not loading for me. Could you re-up them one at a time perhaps?

[unique cloud]

You want to steal my precious work 😱 😂 😂 😂

[proud notch]

I am trying to align cars on a surface, and it is working, but I also need the cars to be aligned to the same direction in the Z axis.

I am taking the normal of the surface with a line trace then make a rotation, but the problem with that approach is the Z rotation for each car is different, depending on the surface normal slope. (image 1) https://ibb.co/2N0gvVZ

If I specify the rotation of the Z axis to be aligned as I want, then the cars are no longer aligned to the surface (image 2) https://ibb.co/LCzvGkw

How can I get both alignments? I have tried a lot of things with no luck and it is driving me crazy.

[slate fable]

anyone got any ideas? 😛

[gentle urchin]

Har to follow the thread lol

Especially on phone

Im thinking overlap is a potential issue

[silent stag]

I can't see bullet impact and sound when i hit the ground what i miss here ?

[lunar sleet]

Debug

[golden kite]

Lol, not at all just trying to help if I can

[lofty rapids]

are you not getting a hit ? what is the output of that function on no blocking hit ?

[silent stag]

i can hit and damage

it does not work for just particle and sound

[lofty rapids]

check if it's blocking with boolean, i see your using it does it say true or false ?

[frail onyx]

https://youtu.be/czOuFC2q6LA?si=nopIvK_Sw26zaUA8 anyone know how to make it so the each widget like this placed in the world can only activate the actor instance it’s assigned to?

[silent stag]

i used that before bool still doesnt work

[undone bluff]

public actor reference variable for the target, when pressed send an interface function call

[frail onyx]

how do i make that work with the way im trying to do it? i want to have multiple widgets and actors that communicate independently, i tried adding the public actor reference to the widget BP but i cant find anywhere i can change it for each instance i have

these Screenshots are from the way i had it just working with one actor

[undone bluff]

add the reference to the actor, not any of its components

[frail onyx]

wait wdym like do i add the instance editable actor reference to the widget BP or to the interactable screen bp i have?

[undone bluff]

yea that's a UMG widget being rendered by a widget component, you can adjust components per instance, and in some cases it even makes sense, but you'd have to extend it in C++ to store your reference and it'd be a bad approach here

just let the widget do its widget thing

i.e. have a slider and return the results

let the actual actor handle sending off the interface calls

and store the reference there so you can quickly and easily adjust it

[frail onyx]

How do i just have the widget bp be able to return the results of the slider to the actor?

[undone bluff]

event dispatcher

[frail onyx]

did i do this correct on the widget Bp side?

how do i get it to go to the interactable screen bp?

[undone bluff]

yea

now you just bind to value changed in your actor

[frail onyx]

so i just create a new event dispatcher in the actor and when i drag it in select bind?

[undone bluff]

widget component > get widget > cast to your widget bp > use that reference to bind event

[unique cloud]

I know, I was just messing with you. I was able to fix it like it was suggested for me to try. Basically the replace inline does not work when it's a Text variable that is transform to a string. You have to set the Text variable in a String variable, then when the string gets updated, you can update your text variable with the new string value

[frail onyx]

did i do this correct? also how do i get that to go to the actor i want to be affected by the value?

[golden kite]

Good to know! It's weird that UE makes a distinction between "Text" and "String". Apparently only Strings can be modified - which explains the issue you were experiencing.

[undone bluff]

use an interface

[frail onyx]

i already have an interface that i use for anything i want to activate that has an activate function and a deactivate function

would i use the activate interface too?

or should i make a new function in the bpi

[undone bluff]

yea so you make a new function that can send a value

you need to communicate that float I assume

[frail onyx]

yea

[undone bluff]

add a float input to the interface function

[frail onyx]

alr that got it fully working now, tysm!

[stray halo]

can you create a widget and add it to viewport in a Gamemode?

and cast it to a thirdperson controller?

[lofty rapids]

wdym cast it to a thirdperson controller ?

you want to get the widget from the controller ?

[stray halo]

Im trying to get it so it will bring up the widget when i press play, the reason im setting it up like this is because im tinkering with multiplayer

[lofty rapids]

are you going to be opening this a bunch ?

[lofty rapids]

is it not working ?

[stray halo]

also ill give a bigger pic and a vid

[lofty rapids]

when you run spawn menu does it actually create and add ?

idk anything about multiplayer

[stray halo]

but no i only want to open once choose team and then ill have it remove itself

[broken wadi]

You shouldn't need to RPC just to open a widget. Think of the controller like a real life xbox or playstation controller. The player physically presses the "start" button and up pops a menu. If you have some variables that are stored on GameMode which you need to use in your widget then consider moving them to the GameState instead because that class exists on both client and server whereas GameMode is server only.

The create widget + add to viewport stuff should be inside of the playercontroller class.

In the first screenshot you're already on the player controller then doing an unessescary RPC to gamemode just to have it route back to the playercontroller to create the widget. Makes no sense.

If you need to know which team the player is on, then store that as a variable on the PlayerState

[stray halo]

okay thank you Ill look into all of that i let you know what i come up with, what im trying to achieve is two buttons each lead to two different teams once its full the button disappears on both screens issue i had was it was only disappearing on one but not the other

[broken wadi]

Sounds like you can use GameState to keep an array of players per team then.

TeamA (array of player controllers, UUID or something) and something similar for TeamB.

Then the widget can reference that variable from the GameState and can have the visibility of buttons or whatever depend on if the array has reached a certain length or is empty...etc

[stray halo]

Thank you, i haven't looked or messed with games states much but i didn't have a clue that they replicate all info on server to clients, sounds like exactly what ive been looking for these past hours

god sent

[sick sky]

where is this used ?

its on the player start actor

[lunar sleet]

Wdym where

Like how to get it?

[stray halo]

Would you mind if i pm you later if i never figure it out?

[sick sky]

well, whats the diff with just using tags

tried to type some keyword sin the BP graph and didnt find anything related to that

[lunar sleet]

I think it’s the same as regular tags. Try has tag

[pallid sphinx]

i know its bad practice but this is just something i need to get working, i want to cast to my enemy character and i cant remember for the life of me what i should attach to it?

[stray halo]

when i make a new game state and replace it, it breaks kinda everything

why is that

[frail onyx]

get player pawn maybe?

[lofty rapids]

do you only have one enemy ?

[pallid sphinx]

nah ive got multiple

[lofty rapids]

so how are you going to choose which one ?

[pallid sphinx]

its linked up to the whole targeting system

[lofty rapids]

right so your looking for the one you targeted ?

idk the system so it could be anything

but if it's the one you have targeted maybe there is a variable somewhere of the current target

i would hope maybe that or some sort of function get target or something

[pallid sphinx]

so my targeting system is in player controller and this attack code is inside player, but since my player controller references the enemy alot as part of the targeting system would it be better to put the attack code into there?

[lofty rapids]

so your attacking the enemy ?

ig it doesn't matter as long as you can get the targeted enemy somehow

[stray halo]

why is it only removing from one screen in a game state

[pallid sphinx]

sorted it

cursed as hell but makes sense to me and works

thanks for the help tho wouldnt have considered it this way otherwise

[stray halo]

oops i finally fixed it just had to replicate my Value

Okay i have a new problem its recognizing when the server joins and replicates that to the client but not vise versa the client will join but server doesn't recognize

is there a replication setting im missing?

[gentle urchin]

you should store widget references, at the very least

[stray halo]

not sure what that means, sorry could you explain

[gentle urchin]

After Create Widget, you get returned a reference to the widget

right click the pin and promote it to a variable

now use that variable when you wanna remove the widget

How are you adding them to the "team counter" ?

[sick sky]

on both scenarios, will it do 2 times the "find" ?

my guess would be that on left scenario it will do it 1 time

[gentle urchin]

how are you informing the GM

[gentle urchin]

always expect the worst in bp logic

if you truly want it done once (including the top wire, which makes 3), store it in a variable

[sick sky]

from memory left scenario will get same
i remember discovering this when using random

ill test rn

[gentle urchin]

random is different

as thats an actual pure node

this is a compact node, im unsure of it's pureness

but i assume the same logic applies. Every Exec it's connected to , makes it do another "find"

[sick sky]

okay

also, i need some refresh with struct

i got a struc that holds an array, how should i update the array in the struct ?

[frail onyx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=204F0wVtR2M&t=288s Anyone know how to make an impulse pad like the one shown in this video at 1:30 where he throws the cube onto the pad and it just stops on the pad and bounces straight up when it hits it. This screenshot is what i have for mine right now, but it keeps the momentum of the cube instead of stopping and launching it in the impulse direction

[lofty rapids]

you want the character to act like the box and just go straight up ?

maybe set velocity to nothing and i think there is something like stop movement

[frail onyx]

i want the box to go straight up

right now if i throw a box at the pad it will keep moving in the direction it was going + the impulse velocity

[lofty rapids]

which makes sense

[lofty rapids]

^

[frail onyx]

i wanna be able to throw it at the pad and have it just go in the impulse direction and lose all of its current momentum like how it looks in the video

[mortal coral]

Is there a way to consistently identify a unique object in a level? I.e. if i have a level with three boxes, an ID of some sort that would be unique and consistent upon repeated loads of the level?

[frail onyx]

how do i do that with the other component that overlaps the collision?

[lofty rapids]

i mean wouldn't you just use a variable that is it's id and give it some unique name ?

[mortal coral]

That would require me to manually (and accurately) tag every object though

which seems both tedious and error prone

[lofty rapids]

you could maybe generate some random ids and hard code them so they reload each level

[mighty kernel]

Dumb question but how do you reference "the blueprint that is using this widget" from a Widget BP? E.g. I have a Dummy BP and a WB_DummyHealthBar, where the Dummy has the widget as a component. But I can't figure out how to access that specific Dummy's HP in the Widget's event graph

[mortal coral]

Get Owner

[mighty kernel]

Doesn't work because the WB is not an actor

[mortal coral]

Sorry, it's get owning player or get owning local player

[mighty kernel]

Ahhh that might be it, I'll try that thanks

I don't think that works actually. Get Owning Player/Get Owning Local Player only seem to fetch the actual player, but I'm trying to do this for an NPC

[mortal coral]

ahh. You'd need to set that up on creation of the widget then

[mighty kernel]

Right, that's where I'm trying to access this data

Or do you mean upon creation of the widget within the Dummy?

[mortal coral]

yeah

like call an Init function that you pass the pawn to

or actor/whatever if it's not a pawn

[wicked cairn]

tried my best to put it visually but, my wave function collapse has all its 4 elements and the sides that it can have generation all inputted to the adjacencies, but it keeps generating as though it cannot connect? Any ideas why or any help on this is greatly appreciated! i've spent 2 days trying to figure this out 😭

this is through the blueprint plugin UE5 offers btw!

they all have the correct rotations for each shape in each adjacency

[stray halo]

any chance i could pm someone and screenshare im pretty stuck

[fallow elm]

hey guys, anyone know why CommonInput (From CommonUI Plugin) is returning Not Valid here?

I'm trying to access "Get Current Input Type" off of CommonInput

this always returns "Mouse and Keyboard" despite using a controller to move around in the game (i.e. controller is working)

this is what PIE shows

[lofty rapids]

probably because it's not valid like it showed before ? and it's getting empty value ? @fallow elm

i have not used a subsystem like that but i would expect it to be valid

[hollow cove]

how would i get all the data assets of a primary data asset type

nevermind, figured it out

if anyone stumbles on this with same problem later

[frail onyx]

Anyone know how i can spawn this bullet projectile and instead of having it just go straight from its spawn position it will go to the center of the screen or crosshair?

i want the final effect to be like the one in this video at 6:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=204F0wVtR2M

[limber parcel]

so this is responsible for all the terrible trivial puzzles in games? xD

[frail onyx]

?

[stray halo]

is this normal?

[dawn gazelle]

What's abnormal about it?

[trim matrix]

depends of what is the code
send the code and we will tell you if it's right

[queen dagger]

what node or function allows me to get the direction of which way the character is facing on the x axis

[dawn gazelle]

You can use get forward vector of your mesh which gives you a normalized directionality that the mesh is facing - this means it'll give you a value between -1 and 1 for each axis value where 1 = fully facing the X vector, -1 = reverse of the X vector and 0 usually meaning not facing the X direction at all.

[queen dagger]

ahhhh

cus i got dash figured out just need to tell the character which way to dash

[dawn gazelle]

Is it a 2D game?

[queen dagger]

yes

[dawn gazelle]

Are you using a mesh for the character or something else?

[queen dagger]

pixel 2d character

[dawn gazelle]

Actually nevermind that, I see you're using CMC, so that should be altering the forward vector of your character. You can use this node to get the direction the actor is facing. Use the X axis of this - you can multiply this by the amount that you want to dash.

[queen dagger]

so that worked

[dawn gazelle]

The multiplication will make sure it goes forward or backwards the same amount.

[queen dagger]

thanks mate!

one more question

[trim matrix]

quick info, watch more tutorials

[queen dagger]

is there any node that makes the dash go forward a certain distance at a certain speed

[trim matrix]

this

[trim matrix]

yea it's fine

you do + 1

0 + 1 = 1

[stray halo]

yeah the issue im having is the client when clicked isnt changing what the server shows only vise versa

[dawn gazelle]

That's because you're changing it through your widget which only exists on the client. Replication only occurs one way, from server to clients.

[trim matrix]

yup

[stray halo]

so how would you let the server know the client joined though clicking a button in a widget?

is it not possible that way?

[dawn gazelle]

You'd have to RPC to the server on some actor owned by the client, or a replicated component on a replicated actor owned by that client. You'd have the server verify if they can make that request, do what is necessary, and set whatever values.

Eg. The client's player controller is usually a replicated actor that is owned by the client.

[stray halo]

i know this might be crazy to ask but do you think you could show me or maybe an example , so my problem is problably because my controller doesnt get an actor till after clicking the botton? what my mind went to

[stray halo]

^ also understandable if not

[pale imp]

Hey I have some missing assets when packaging my game in shipping mode, anyone know the cause of this ?

[crimson hornet]

make sure to go in your project settings and check your packaging settings @pale imp .

[pale imp]

I have, what could be the issue ?

The weirdest part is that it's only some assets, but I don't know what the yhave in common

[crimson hornet]

do you have anything in your advanced packaging settings?

Try this first, with everything empty and disabled

[frosty heron]

Widget job is to just read, you should have 0 info declared in it, especially for multiplayer

Don't know what the number represents but here's what u can do

[stray halo]

listening 🫡

[frosty heron]

Declare int in your bp character, set it to replicate

Call it counter for example

Make a custom function, call it increment counter in bp character

Inside it , just do counter++

Now in your widget, get a text box , the value is, get player character, cast to your bp character, get counter

Also drop a button in the widget

On clicked, get player controller cast to your controller, call increment counter function

That's it

If u get that working, go read the compendium in multiplayer 6 times. Another 20 times if u still don't understand ( with practices )

Btw the custom function, you have to make it server rpc

[elder pebble]

Hello, I am struggling with a List View UI widget. I have figured out how to populate the entries using an array, but now I need to figure out how to delete a single entry based on a variable passed from a box collider. i.e. Player enters box collider of BLUE object, presses interact button, then the word Blue Object is removed from the listview. I have no idea how to "find" the Blue Object line within the listview so that I can reference it in the Remove Item node. Any help would be amazing!

[stray halo]

only thing i didnt really understand what did you mean delare int?

[frosty heron]

Create variable

[pale imp]

Where are these settings ? I can't find them in the packaging section

[frosty heron]

Read compendium in #multiplayer you will be stuck forever going in blindly.

Here's another important part, covered by the compendium

Only way for client to communicate to server is thru server RPC.
So if u set a variable in a client machine, it will only set it for it self. So you need server rpc to make the client tell the server, hey run this function in your machine

And don't bother doing it in widget, server rpc gets dropped on non owned actor (read ownership) also widget is not replicated

Hence the player controller routing

[stray halo]

I appreciate everything you are telling me, i intstantly stated reading when you told me about it 😭

[frosty heron]

Imo drop w.e u r doing, read it 6 times. Then try to sync a simple variable to all players

If not succseed, read again. It took me quiet a while till I get it

[stray halo]

well see i believe i set up a RPC for a pawn if im not wrong
