blueprint

[gaunt ether]

Ill try that

[lunar sleet]

you're missing some casts there anyways. Are you getting any AccessedNone errors?

[gaunt ether]

nope

[lunar sleet]

then you're probably right about your collision settings being wrong

make sure generate overlap events is checked on that actor and maybe even the pawn

and that they're each set to overlap each other

[gaunt ether]

I did this already and it still didn't work. I should probably put a collision capsul on the portal huh.

might work

[lunar sleet]

yeah, try it

as for your screenshot: Remove getPlayerPawn and instead drag from OtherActor and CastTo whatever your character bp is called.

On Success, set Actor Location from that same OtherActor pin

this will make sure you're 1) teleporting the player and not just anything that happens to overlap the portal. 2) the ref is not null, so you prevent any access None errors

[gaunt ether]

I did it

[gaunt ether]

So apparently using a collision capsule is pretty useful for overlapping.

Probably should have thought of that earlier

[lunar sleet]

Yeah, shaped collisions are pretty nifty

[gaunt ether]

My next thing is to have an array of dimensions (coordinates) and when you click on a dimension option, it sets the portal to those coordinates. So when you touch the portal it brings you to the dimension (coordinates).

should be simple

[lunar sleet]

Famous last words hehe

[gaunt ether]

(they will find my body in 2 days max)

[warped juniper]

@gaunt ether What is the collision shape of the portal?

Hmm wait

I see the issue

You are using the actor begin overlap raw event node

That is then the actor starts overlapping with another actor

But actors don't always overlap with things

Try to make a collision shape, and make an event off of that shape's overlap

[gaunt ether]

I used a box and scaled it accordingly

[gaunt ether]

yeah I did that

so thankful for this server, I would not of thought of it

[warped juniper]

If you want a circular shaped collision, you can use a flatter cylinder shape instead

Ideally with some thickness for accuracy though

[inland walrus]

Any idea why these are the same value even though they have different floats?

[gaunt ether]

I tried that and it was really weird for scale]

[warped juniper]

Well a cylinder like shape

In any 3D software you can make whatever shape you'd like as a model for collision

[sick sky]

Show code

[keen sun]

I want to get screen pixel 2D vector values of a line trace hit result point how can I achieve that?

[fallen glade]

using that node, straight from editing the slider

[sick sky]

yeah this node only fire when you release the handle

if you want to constantly update you would need to use tick or a timer and toggle on/off when you start/stop touching the slider

[hushed hinge]

Bumping this if anyone can help out

[stone ivy]

Hm, strangely its not working

[surreal peak]

Singleplayer or Multiplayer?

[stone ivy]

Just before you typed that I realized that interact is running on the server, its probs not replicating for some reason

[surreal peak]

Well yeah stuff like this doesn't replicate

Materials are seen as a state, so you need to put the material into a rep notify variable and assign it on OnRep of that variable

[stone ivy]

Perfect, makes sense, thank you

Your compendium is top tier btw! but I clearly need to read more of it haha

[next jungle]

Does blueprint provide any way to access the CDO from a type reference or do I need to write my own functions to get those values off the CDO and expose those to BP?

[surreal peak]

There is a node called ClassDefaults iirc

Used on a class node

But it won't give you access to functions, inner components etc iirc

I usually code my own. But you can't have that const in BPs so be careful with it

[next jungle]

that's perfect I just want to read default values from a CDO

Are there uproperty specifiers that govern what shows up here

I do not immediately see the values I want

[surreal peak]

I would assume it has to be Readable at least

And the type has to be supported of course

[next jungle]

okay cool thanks

[gaunt ether]

Im creating some blueprints for the dimensions, and im casting them all to my portal blueprint, but I keep getting accessed none errors when referencing the variables between the blueprints.

Any ideas?

[lunar sleet]

Show code

And actually

Go watch the blueprint comms live training pinned here in its entirety

So you can understand how this stuff actually works

[lunar sleet]

You can’t just create a variable of a certain bp class and try to use it as an instance of that blueprint

[fair wadi]

Hey everyone! I'm trying to learn unreal and i just made this actor component blueprint but I haven't been able to get the left click action to actually trigger, am I missing something?

[lunar sleet]

What you have there is an empty vessel. You fill it by grabbing an instance from the world and storing it within. The overlap’s other actor pin for example can do that. But you should cast first to make sure you’re storing the right thing @gaunt ether

Learn bp comms like I said, it’ll be worth it

[gentle urchin]

Any reference variable is by default empty. Its just a place to store a reference and does by default not hold any reference

Setting it to itself doesnt really make sense as it will just remain whatever it currently is (empty, or poiniting at a live instance)

[gaunt ether]

Yeah I'm watching the demo part and it did not help me. How am I supposed to cast to a blueprint without being able to get the object for it?

Like what do I put for the object?

[lunar sleet]

What demo part

[lunar sleet]

Ok, I mean I just explained to you exactly how one can get a reference for example

And if you’re just skipping through the video you probably won’t get it

It may be long, but it’s by far the best video you can ever watch for Unreal basics

Until you understand bp comms, you won’t be able to build shit

[gaunt ether]

listen no offense but watching a power point about the concept of blueprints is not gonna help me figure out how to cast to a blueprint with an object unless the dude actually shows me how to do that

bros giving me a word problem, not an equation

[gentle urchin]

Hopefully you understand the concept of it as thats the only thing that'll help you along

[gaunt ether]

whats more useful, telling someone they can go to the moon, or showing them how?

[gentle urchin]

Getting the instructions of how to do it

Me watching Apollo 17 doesnt really help me much beyond being aware that its possible to do so

[drowsy anvil]

Hello, what did I miss here? I want the object to rotate every 0.2 seconds, but it only rotates it once and then stops

[gentle urchin]

Rotates the log is not connected

It should be connected 🙂

[drowsy anvil]

lmao, I connected it now, but it still doesnt rotate more than once

[gentle urchin]

Where did you connect it ?

You also want to use "Combine rotators"

Iirc those dont fall prey to gimball locks

As it uses quats internally

[drowsy anvil]

I tried to connect it to both nodes but didnt work

[gentle urchin]

It should only be connected to the last node

But youre also uaing set rotation

Which.. sets it to the input

And since input is static, itll only update to that, and seemingly stand still

You want "AddRelativeRotation"

[gaunt ether]

yo sorry for tweaking out, I figured it out🙏 Im an idiot, I said "get forward vector" for an object instead of "get world location".

[chilly crane]

How do you access the default directional input in a blueprint? Like when creating a 3rd person template the WASD are already mapped, and I want to retreive data when someone starts moving forward/back, etc.

[drowsy anvil]

this did it, thanks for the help

[fair wadi]

if needed i can provide extra context for this

[gentle urchin]

I think at the very least, if this can even work, the owning actor must be getting inputs

[surreal peak]

Not entirely sure what you mean. This is by now done via Enhanced Input

There should be InputAction Assets and an Input Mapping Context somewhere

[gentle urchin]

GetLastInputVector might be usefull

[chilly crane]

basically I'm trying out a more advanced combat system, and I need to know when the character is trying to move forward/backward/left/right

[surreal peak]

That's very Pawn/Character specific

[gentle urchin]

Yes it is

[surreal peak]

What I usually use for that is the Acceleration of the Character Movement Component

[chilly crane]

is it the IA_Move?

[surreal peak]

Normalized that's the direction the player wants to move in in workspace

[surreal peak]

Depends on what kind of vector you want

[gentle urchin]

Which includes the use of rotation speed

[chilly crane]

I want the horizontal directional input

[gentle urchin]

Which you may or may not want, guess it depends

[surreal peak]

Worldspace direction you can use Acceleration, Velocity etc, whatever makes most sense

[chilly crane]

the player doesn't need to move, just needs to press the button that would move them in that direction

[surreal peak]

But WorldSpace or LocalSpace?

If you press W, do you want a vector the points forward in worldspace relative to how your character is rotated

Or just x or y being 1?

[chilly crane]

😅 wdym? I've been using ue for about 2 weeks now?

[gentle urchin]

I think world direction is more proper

By the sounds of it

[chilly crane]

relative to the viewport if that's a thing, eg. if I'm attacking an enemy, and press S, it will do a backflip away from the enemy

but end up facing the same way

[surreal peak]

Right you just want to know if the player presses backwards, not the actual world direction

[chilly crane]

yes

[surreal peak]

Cause the backflip can figure out the direction itself based on the player rotation

[gentle urchin]

What if the player is facing away from the opponent?

Should he then backflip into the opponent?

[surreal peak]

Tbh that's the Backflip itself that should figure that out

Doesn't change that the player presses S

[chilly crane]

if the player is facing away from the opponent the attack sequence won't engage because there is no viable target

[gentle urchin]

Aight aight

[surreal peak]

I'm not sure right now how to get the input values

[chilly crane]

in that case S would make the player move towards said opponent & the viewport would turn around to focus again. Then you'd be able to initate backflips

[surreal peak]

You could store them when the input node calls

[zenith flume]

I'm sure that you could add a rotator component to your log object.

[surreal peak]

And then check them when you need

The last input vector might also work as Squize said

That should be a variable on the Character itself iirc

[gentle urchin]

Or current?

Last is a frame late isnt it ?

[surreal peak]

But there is the * that this only has a value if you actively called AddMovementInput

[chilly crane]

I'm wanting to call this all in a seperate actor component bp

[surreal peak]

Then that component has to have a reference to the character

And ask it for the value

[chilly crane]

so specifcally what boxes do I need in the bp? If you can step me through it, that'd be appriciated 😄

[surreal peak]

In C++ you could bind a function of the component to the input

But in BP land you are out of luck iirc

[gentle urchin]

Get owner -> cast to pawn -> Get(last)InputVector

[surreal peak]

On my phone. Don't want to type that much on it. If the component is on the character then you can get the owner of the component on BeginPlay and cast it to your character class. Then you can ask that for the last input vector.

If you need value regardless of the AddMovementInput logic, you might need to manually create a variable and set its properties when the input events call

[chilly crane]

Does this give a better idea?

for the condition, I want to check if it is say "move backwards" whatever the key that is mapped by the player. If it is, it's going to play the next animation in the sequence, otherwise, it can either check for a different direction, or break and go back to the start

[gentle urchin]

I think you need to compare the input vector with the facing direction (e.g. forward vector)

Wether facing direction is already covered, I believe we still need the comparison / dot product between them

The nodes remain the same

GetOwner -> CastToPawn/Character ->GetPendingInputVector

GetOwner -> GetForwardVectorb

[chilly crane]

I'm throughly confused now, and about to throw the book at UE. Would you be able to VC and show me what you mean on your screen?

[atomic violet]

"I've created a point system stored in the GameInstance, since my game has multiple levels, and I need to carry over the points between them (TOTALPOINT). However, I can't figure out how to save the points every time they change, and make sure that when I exit the game and re-enter, the points are automatically loaded. I've tried various YouTube tutorials on SaveGame and LoadGame, but I just can't get it to work. Could someone please help me?"

[gentle urchin]

Might have a minute in a minute. Babysitting 😅

So gotta be quick

The nodes ive mentioned are pure nodes

And I assume this code is inside a component

Is that correct?

[chilly crane]

so I've a BP component that is handling all the attack stuff, but I can't seem to get the directional movement in it, which is driving me mad, it's taken me like 2h so far

[gentle urchin]

Thats the get owner part

Your script componemt doesnt have a notion of direction, so you gotta base it on the Owner

Owner would be whichever actor that holds the compoment

[chilly crane]

so I have to go to the BP_ThirdPersonCharacter & create a new function. In that I need to do exactly what to make the input continuously updated & accessible to another BP?

[gentle urchin]

No ,

i can VC now if you wanna screenshare

FortFivus

[chilly crane]

sure, it'll have to be DMs though because I'm new to this server

[gentle urchin]

oh shiet

[hushed hinge]

is it not good to switch between use control rotation and orient rotation to movement

[tropic peak]

still not quite there

[inland walrus]

sorry for the delay I went to bed

Any idea why these are the same value even though they have different floats?

[sick sky]

well you arent updating the text renderer

when not playing

if you want to update the text also in editor (like on your screen), call your event in ConstructionScript

[inland walrus]

sorry I should've mention the text render needs removing, I was just testing something

It's all in the widget

[inland walrus]

but I also think it's the same thing with the widget not being updated but I'm not sure how. I thought the tick would of done it

[sick sky]

same logic, update your text widget in construction script

construction script gets called when you move the actor, and whe nyou edit values

[sick sky]

tick only ticks when playing

if you press play it will work

[inland walrus]

It's running on set visibility though, it won't update if i do it via construct

[inland walrus]

It's also only spawning on the one character

the same one it's keeping the values with

[sick sky]

well here we dont care to use construction script since you are playing

you have an issue somewhere else in your code

[inland walrus]

I don't get why it's only calling the originals wbp

It's like if I make it destroy actor, it should only destroy the one I've clicked, not the original one

[ornate jetty]

is it possible to assign Post Process Anim Blueprint to a SkeletalMesh via blueprint scripting?

[plucky cedar]

Hello, everyone.
I have a project in unreal engine and joomla.
If anyone is interested, please dm me

[violet bison]

for multiplayer replication, is there no simpler ways to do this?

[keen sun]

what is the right way to do dynamic camera animation while playing montage (e.g Finisher moves or execution)

[trim matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LToQmb2VON4&pp=ygUUbnNtYmRzIHJlZCBjb2luIHJpbmc%3D trying to recreate this, but make it more customizable to spawn whatever blueprint i want to link to the ring, i have a blueprint setup w mesh and a box collision for a trigger but im kinda lost on where to go from there

[hidden swift]

Localization does not work Unreal Engine 5.4.4 & 5.5
What could be wrong?
I checked on different engines in new projects (third person template)

[storm solar]

What does "use normalied root motion" actually do. Is there a practical example?

[hidden swift]

in widget localization works

but not in the game

[mild jacinth]

Its not possible to spawn a static mesh similar to SpawnActorFromClass, right?

[inland walrus]

Anyone know why it's selecting the same one each time

[obtuse mulch]

where is the code for the selection

you need to get the character or AI instance

then cast

smth like that

[obtuse mulch]

where do you set it

probably at begin play or smth

[obtuse mulch]

so it only does the logic for this

[inland walrus]

in the widget itself

[obtuse mulch]

you need to set that variable to the character you click

if they have collision component

you can do event on clicked

[inland walrus]

What variable?

So each character needs its own bp?

[obtuse mulch]

cant see the name

[obtuse mulch]

they already have their own bp

instance

[inland walrus]

No instance I don't think

just 1 master

[obtuse mulch]

the "on clicked" logic must be in the character bp

[inland walrus]

Is it not?

[obtuse mulch]

its in the camera controller

im talking about the characters you click

they all must have their own

it is the same like with hp bars

sorry im kinda bad english but im trying to help 😄

[inland walrus]

Ah okay, so they would all need there own widget blueprint specifically for them?

[inland walrus]

then they'd all need their own bp too? I thought I could just have a master one with instance editsables and just reskin?

[obtuse mulch]

ye one parent mob blueprint witch has the logic when you press on them

idk if theyre mobs or npcs in your case

maybe something that i said helps but im feeling kinda stupid cus im drinking today

😄

[violet bison]

I want to do a client authorized damage (projectiles) and peer to peer network
but all the replication tutorials only teach about spawning in server

my end goal is to spawn a bullet on client's side that deals damage, and spawn a fake bullet on the server's side for other people to see

using multicast with a has authority switch seems to make clients shoot twice

[astral wyvern]

I have an event that triggers when the input is started, but if it's cancelled too quick I want it to stop, is there a way to do this natively or do I have to use booleans?

What I'm doing : I call an event on a component when started, and if the player were to cancel, I want to stop that event. It's a value that lerps, but I don't want to execute fully if that were to happen. I want it to call another event instead
It shrinks if it's started, if it's held, but if the player cancels early, I want to go back to its initial size by growing

[surreal peak]

It's usually not done like that so you won't find tutorials.

If you spawn it locally and then also via the multicast you will need to filter the local client. If the multicast is in the PlayerCharacter or anything with access to the owning Character, you can check if the character is locally controlled and skip the additional spawning

[wicked cairn]

Anyone have advice (or any tutorials) on how to create a sense system where the player can press a hotkey to detect/see the recent footprint particles of another npc/player?

[surreal peak]

Don't have a tutorial but you could have a manager like class (ActorComponent on the GameState) that keeps track of footstep locations and who they belong to in form of a struct entry in an array. Other characters can then notify that manager about their steps (e.g. every x units. I wouldn't use the actual animation notifiers for that in case the animation doesn't tick due to optimization).

When you press the key you can ask the manager for every foot step in a radius around the player location and then loop over those and draw them on the floor.

Might become a bit of a performance hole if you have a lot of entries. Your manager can also loop (backwards) over the array on tick and remove the oldest entries after x seconds if you want to decay them. Can all be done via information in the struct

Should be simple enough to set up

[iron gale]

im trying to spawn my ai but for whatever reason its not spawing, i have never ran into this issue before, usally my spawn actor nodes always work

can anyone help me figure this out?

[lunar sleet]

Breakpoint and see if it reaches that node

[iron idol]

is there a way to check how many items are in an array via print string

oh prolly a forloop

[iron gale]

what do you mean break point, like break the point from the spawn node

[lunar sleet]

Click the node, hit F9

[lunar sleet]

Length if you just need the number of items

[iron idol]

thanks

[surreal peak]

Yeah Epic thought "Length" is a good call instead of "Num" >.>

[iron idol]

yea its an odd choice

[lunar sleet]

Is it not length in cpp ?

Or just C

[spark steppe]

of course not

.Num() in C++

[lunar sleet]

Might have had this convo before 😅

[spark steppe]

and this is not the only place they did this

[lunar sleet]

True, but array “length” is more legible than array num to the untrained eye

[spark steppe]

yea many other languages use length

[rotund harness]

Is there any way of adding a constraint to the angle of my actor? So for exampe it stops at 45 degrees or something

[iron gale]

now what do i do

i did the break point thing

[surreal peak]

I think Length would be fine if TArray also used Length

[lunar sleet]

True

[surreal peak]

Depends on when, where, how, what

[lunar sleet]

Hit Play

If the execution stops on that node it means it reached it

[spark steppe]

since you use anothers actor location, i could almost bet for a collision issue

[iron gale]

thats what happened

it reached the node

[lunar sleet]

Ok. So we eliminated one possible cause

Now when it’s stopped on that node hover over the location pin

See what it actually shows

Cause for all you know you could be spawning it in Africa

[iron gale]

it seems to be spawning at some point under the map

not where i want it

[rotund harness]

I'm making a vehicle, it is controlled by forces and some buoyancy physics, and essentially i want to constrain its rotation so it doesnt risk tipping over

[iron idol]

anyone ever come across an issue where an item is randomly added to an array with fresh save?

its the same item every time

[sweet silo]

hi i wanna clear the array right after creating it is this not the right way of doing it ? thanks

[lunar sleet]

Now you know what the problem is

[lunar sleet]

What’s the point of this lol

[sweet silo]

ahha you are curious

[lunar sleet]

Perplexed more like but sure

[sweet silo]

sure 🙂
I'm updating a spline mesh with timer by event

[lunar sleet]

Try promoting it to a variable

[sweet silo]

because my normal spline was working but i need to see it in game
so i had to make it a spline mesh sadly

[lunar sleet]

Right but making an array just to clear it

Either way

Promote to variable and clear that one instead

[sweet silo]

sorry for the mess

[sweet silo]

oh ok thanks a lot

[lunar sleet]

Pure functions fire each time they are connected fyi (once per connected node)

[sweet silo]

which one are pure functions here?

[sweet silo]

u mean i don't need an array for this?

[lunar sleet]

The green ones

[lunar sleet]

You might, idk. But promote to variable

[sweet silo]

like this ?

[gentle urchin]

Youd use the component reference that you got

[thin owl]

sorry, i was making that to try and clarify what im doing

am i supposed to call, 'get owner?'
i dont know how to call the reference. i know its a get, even if its 'get a copy,' right?

[lunar sleet]

I meant the array if that’s what you’re using

[lunar sleet]

Yes

[sweet silo]

oh my ba

[thin owl]

when i call this, it cant find the parent components

[lunar sleet]

Show code

[sweet silo]

here is what i tried but i stil have static meshes liying around

[lunar sleet]

If you want components’ parent use get parent

[sweet silo]

it says item was removed but it's still there i don't get it

maybe because it's puting one right after

no i tried getting the value to 5 sec and it's still not removing it

[gentle urchin]

Im very confused why you need the parent ? Child inherits from parent..

Ohhhhhh

CAC !

[thin owl]

well, if youre confused, then im way more confused. im still very green.

i understand that children inherit the attributes of the parent.
but i dont know how to call that attribute from the child or the parent without casting and it doesnt make sense to cast because i should just be able to call what i need from the child.

[gentle urchin]

I see now

[thin owl]

?

[gentle urchin]

Child Actor Component

CAC for short

So what you really should do

Is create a master weapon class

[thin owl]

those are my choices

[gentle urchin]

Which has all the interface you need

[thin owl]

the blue get at the bottom?

[gentle urchin]

Yepp

Thats your bp_wp_sword_base

But you need to specify its type for the engine to provide you with its functions

Casting is necessary (or use an interface(but dont use an interface))

[thin owl]

ok im reading. i was able to call that.

[gentle urchin]

What you really want to do tho

Is to create a bp_wp_base class

Which your sword inherits from

So when you cast in the above situation, you cast to bp_wp_base, which gives you all the functionality you need

[thin owl]

oh i have that

the base weapon is my base class

[gentle urchin]

So thats what youd cast to

[thin owl]

ok, i think i was able to understand your instruction. That was helpful. I know i can remeber that and i have also commented on it

[sweet silo]

any idea how i could add the spline mesh created and then remove it at the end ?

[thin panther]

Please don't use a child actor component, just spawn and attach your weapon

[gentle urchin]

Far safer, less juggle, and you can specify the type already

[surreal peak]

Add/Remove?

Like, you can save it to a Variable and later destroy that component again if that's what you mean.

[sweet silo]

thanks yeah i tried but didn't work i do'nt know why

should this work ? @surreal peak

[surreal peak]

That works but this also instantly destroy what you just created.

[sweet silo]

i get no spline anymore so i gujess it works 🙂 but i still need to see it before the next movement

yes 🙂

[surreal peak]

Yeah I mean, that's logical though as you instantly tell it to destroy.

[balmy jackal]

LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\build++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Private\HAL\MallocBinned2.cpp] [Line: 1438]FMallocBinned2 Attempt to realloc an unrecognized block 000001CBD8350000 canary == 0x0 != 0xe3 Hey everyone, I'm releasing a game tonight but this crash keeps on happening seemingly randomly whilst going about my level. Would be incredibly grateful if anyone knew how to fix it. Have only programmed using bps so thought people with C++ knowledge would have a better idea of what's happening. Thanks for reading

[sweet silo]

because what im trying to do is this

i have a spline working perfecty and modifief by user input

[surreal peak]

Also I just saw it's a Loop, so you need to add them to an Array and not set them. Without an array you would only really set the last created one.

[surreal peak]

Yeah but you can't call Destroy on them if you still need to use them

[sweet silo]

but i realized i need a mesh spline

[surreal peak]

Yeah and yo uare creating SplineMeshComponents with the AddSplineMeshComponent function

Make an Array of that type and add them all ot the Array.

[sweet silo]

yes 🙂

[surreal peak]

Then use them like you want and when you are ready to destroy them you can loop over the array and destroy

You can't destroy them right after Add cause that's literally Creating and then Destroying in the same frame. That would make 0 sense to do.

[sweet silo]

like this ?

[surreal peak]

No, the variable yo uhad

Change it to be an array

[sweet silo]

ah okk!!

[surreal peak]

Then add a getter to the variable and call Add on that.

Depending on what you are actually doing there you might also want to loop over that array and destroy the Components BEFORE creating new ones, Otherwise you'll add more and more whenever that function calls.

[sweet silo]

like this ?

[sweet silo]

yes so i would need to go back here

[chrome rampart]

:^)

[surreal peak]

That's teh same thing again

[sweet silo]

ah damn sorry :/

[surreal peak]

The NewVar7

"GET" it

Not "SET"

And call ADD on that

[surreal peak]

Yeah you would need to clear the existing ones there, correct. But make sure if you loop that you call the other loop one COMPLETED and not during the other loops loop.

[sweet silo]

shouldn't i do this here?

[surreal peak]

That's where you change it to an Array, yes

Then you drag that Variable in the EventGraph

And use "GET"

And then call "ADD" on that variable

[sweet silo]

ohhh ok

[surreal peak]

Plugging in the result of your Add MeshComp node

[chrome rampart]

@surreal peak i admire your patience

[sweet silo]

yeah same

cn't i just destroy them after a small delay ?

i really don't get why this is not working sorry :/

[dawn gazelle]

This is in a loop, right?

[sweet silo]

yes 🙂

The delay is retriggered every iteration of the loop (starting it again), and the reference you're trying to remove from the array is the reference that is being created each iteration of the loop.

So then it'll only remove the last thing added.

[sweet silo]

ah !! ok i got it thanks didn't know it worked that way 🙂

so i need another loop as cedric was saying

but it should still remove the one i created

[modest monolith]

Hello guys, I have my Main Menu where I can choose difficulty for the level i'll open, when I open the level, it has the difficulty selected, but when I die and I press on retry, the difficulty returns to default and I have to go back to main menu to change it again. How is possible that the difficulty gets stored for the next level opened but when I reopen the same level the difficulty returns to default?

[dawn gazelle]

How are you storing/telling the level to open the difficulty selected?

[sweet silo]

the prb is also how can i destroy something not created

[modest monolith]

Yeah that's the issue. The menu has been made by another guy and is complex and I don't even manage to find it

[surreal peak]

You can by adding the delay at the end of the loop (Completed pin) and looping over the array you filled and destroying them.

But then they are in fact also gone in the game, visually, etc.

[sweet silo]

very nice i'll try that thanks a lot again

[dawn gazelle]

You'll have to find how its communicated. There's lots of ways of doing it, like using the Game Instance, using a save game file, or even opening the level with options, and these can happen in basically any object. Your best bet may be to start with the widget that allows players to change the difficulty and see if that sets that in a variable somewhere and then try and see if anything references that variable.

[sweet silo]

it's working but also throwing an acess none error

but it's working ! already a big step 🙂

[modest monolith]

Oh.. maybe by removing the absolute boolan check on open level by name the difficulty remains the same

it looks like it.. lemme cofirm it

is it maybe the solution?

[sweet silo]

damn i wish materializing a spline was easier..

[dawn gazelle]

Use a reverse foreach loop.

[sweet silo]

oh ok thanks :)))))

[dawn gazelle]

Potentially, but I believe only if the difficulty is communicated through travel options.

[sweet silo]

still getting the error.. trying to figure out why 🙂

[dawn gazelle]

This is still very strange....
You're looping every .1 seconds, but then you're calling a delay every .2 seconds when the loop you've called from that timer ends.... Basically creating and destroying objects every .1 seconds.... Not great.

I believe part of the problem is that destroying the component doesn't necessarily remove its entry from the array. After the destroy component, try removing the array index from the array (not the element)

[sweet silo]

yeah i know but that's what i'm trying to have since i want the spline mesh to update to the position of the normal spline

[modest monolith]

Which is ? 😛

[sweet silo]

but it's crazy that there is not a simpler way of doing hits

[sweet silo]

i'll try this thanks a lot

[sweet silo]

amazing it's not thorwing erro anymore !! but perf is wow so bad 🙂

[dawn gazelle]

Can you not just create the splines needed once, and then update their values?

[sweet silo]

tagt's because of all the creation and destruction

[sweet silo]

maybe 🙂
yeah tthis is kind of an event tick and it's bad..

but i wish i could just force show the splines instead of having to use spline meshes

[sweet silo]

but yeah this is a better idea def...

i mean i can have them already in my bp

[timid yoke]

The motorbike probably has a camera as well which it's switching to.

[tropic peak]

It doesn't 🙂

[timid yoke]

It does a default camera at the origin of the motorbike then, you can set it to the other camera again right after possessing. There's probably a better way to specify the camera to avoid switching during possess but it's supposed to use the actor camera or spawn a camera at the origin normally.

[sweet silo]

omg finally got it to work !!

but now is only the end working not the beginning 🙂

must be the reverse loop

[modest monolith]

it seems like it's working.

I didn't test it in standalone because my pc crashes

but it work in viewport

[timid yoke]

Oh in 5.3 there is an automatic way to do this in the playercontroller uncheck Auto Manage Active Camera Target and it won't switch the camera at all.

[tropic peak]

thanks @timid yoke, found it

I'll give it a shot

I might've fixed it this a second before you sent that message 😄

but yeah that thing you mentioned fixes it immediately, I spent hours figuring this out

thank you

[timid yoke]

You can just use setviewtarget node in the PlayerController right after possess as it's setting this on the same frame so it won't switch. Otherwise that setting should just disable the camera switching.

[faint pasture]

what's wrong with that?

[tropic peak]

It didn't fix the angles, but I got it to work after a while

[sweet silo]

nic code pluygin is it worth it ?

[tropic peak]

it's alright

makes things a bit cleaner

I hated spaghetti so I got the plugin

[sweet silo]

nice ok thanks ill try it how is it called again

[tropic peak]

uhh..

[sweet silo]

don't worry ill find it

[tropic peak]

Electronic Nodes

[proud salmon]

How can I avoid this error log? I don't care that the map isn't replicated, I'm not trying to make it replicated.

LogProperty: Error: Replicated TMaps are not supported.

I'd rather not replace all my maps with custom structures just to avoid it. Funcitonally everything works as expected, its just an annoying error that spams a lot.

[autumn parrot]

anyone know what this means?

but then when i go to the code there is no issue

[hushed hinge]

is it bad to switch between use controller rotation and orient rotation to movement dynamically in my game?

Neither work 100% for what i need, and i prefer to let the movement component manage turning my character, rather than doing it manually

[lunar sleet]

Well your code says, if the owner is BP_Enemy, store it in this variable. Then you’re telling it to do something on tick with that variable, whether or not it’s empty

Put an isValid? check before querying its variables

So if it’s ever invalid it will fail silently

[lunar sleet]

Did you make this map in bp or cpp?

[proud salmon]

BP

[lunar sleet]

Is there a replicated checkbox in its details panel?

[lunar sleet]

Nope, should be fine

[hushed hinge]

Cool ty

[autumn parrot]

ill try that thanks

[gaunt ether]

@lunar sleet I watched the thing about variable casting. I thought it was used to grab variables from other blueprints, but you use it to store data to the variables by the data from the blueprint you are casting in. You were right, big apologies. I fixed my game and I am very happy🙏

[lunar sleet]

Yeah, that video is what got me from being completely lost to learning how to make bps talk to each other and build things on my own

[gaunt ether]

Yeah I can actually build shit now

[indigo gate]

Hello, is it really the case that a function that has an array as one of its outputs will return a copy instead of a reference to that array ?

[lunar sleet]

Most refs are copies unless otherwise specified. You can maybe use pass by ref though I haven’t tried it inside a function for an array

[indigo gate]

The pass by ref option is only for inputs, outputs have none

[lunar sleet]

Are you talking checkbox or the node

[indigo gate]

I'm talking about this

This returns a copy of the array instead of a reference to it

[ripe sun]

After the function finishes, all local variables of the function are "destroyed", it's impossible to "reference" such variables? what is your use case?

[lunar sleet]

Try using a set by ref node on the variable inside your function. Then your output should technically be the ref not a copy. In my mind anyways

[indigo gate]

This is my function, just a shortcut for accessing an actor component's variables based on an enum

Those variables are globals of the component

[ripe sun]

Would a macro work?

I'm not entirely sure if they support passing output by ref

[lunar sleet]

Promote that return value to a variable

[ripe sun]

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/how-do-i-return-a-struct-by-reference-in-a-blueprint-function/981135

Not sure

[lunar sleet]

Some forum posts can be misleading too especially if older

[ripe sun]

The second link is newer (2023)

[lunar sleet]

Actually tho

The output might not need to be passed by ref

[indigo gate]

Yeah Macro works

[lunar sleet]

Ok

[indigo gate]

This is weird, when scripting with other languages functions always return arrays by ref

[lunar sleet]

Was gonna say you can prly grab the output of the function outside of it and pass it by ref from there but yeah

[indigo gate]

Why is Unreal different ?

[lunar sleet]

That question returns nullptr

[indigo gate]

Okay but I can't call a macro from other classes

[gentle urchin]

Unless its in a macro library*

[remote belfry]

I have this, and it works if I trigger it with a button. But if I tie it to "Event Construct" it does not work even if I delay it. For simplicity sake I have all the variables hard set. Except the "Background Brush" that variable is tied to a Bind function. This whole thing is changing the texture2d an image widget uses. I was using widget switchers, but I am experimenting with Data Tables and structs to do the same. I'ce also played with Async Load Asset and what not with no luck. Google is not being helpful either. Just looking for some direction if someone can.

[gentle urchin]

I believe you must refresh the widget component after updating the resource like this ?

Normally you'd want to call it through events, as i believe those include the 'refresh' part

Invalidating the widget seem to be it

not sure why that would differ with a button

#umg might have more usuefull tips

[remote belfry]

Thanks!

It's something to go on which is better than what I have right now lol

[maiden wadi]

For starts, don't resolve. Load the asset async. If it's not loaded, it'll load it. If it is loaded, it'll just return it immediately.
Second you should just call SetBrushFromTexture or SetBrushFromMaterial

[remote belfry]

I switched to resolve mucking around trying to get it to work. So I went back to this still same result. Only works if I activate the custom event with a button but not on event construct.

[maiden wadi]

Do you get the failed print?

[remote belfry]

Nope

[maiden wadi]

Is the row found?

[remote belfry]

Yup added a print to the not found pin and it doesn;t print

I've also tried every form of is valid I can find

[maiden wadi]

When are you actually applying that brush? I assume that's being used in a UImage widget?

[remote belfry]

It is sent from form the Level BP to the game instance an then created, added and ect. Which gives me a thought about sending the exec to create it from the Player Controller.

[maiden wadi]

I don't understand. Why are you sending it to the game instance or pulling it if you're loading it here anyhow?

I'm more asking where are you using that brush? What is it being applied to? Is it being used in an Image widget?

[remote belfry]

The game is an open world visual novel kind of thing. I'm using levels to keep things compartmentalized. This also makes it easier to add content later. So a level BP contains the background images in a widget for backgrounds and any location specific variables ect. This gets sent to the game instance and created there so I can access it easily from anywhere. Right now I'm trying to make the navigation buttons change the background, which works. However I need to be able to set a default location that is shown when the background widget is loaded, like a player start location. I was using widget switchers to do all of this before, but am now experimenting with storing the backgrounds in data tables to make some things a bit simpler in the long run. I hope this makes any lick of sense. lol

Also all the logic for the location is in the widget that contains the backgrounds.

Also the desired image widgets texture2d is showing in the editor based on its binding.

[maiden wadi]

I think I follow. Though I would still recommend simply setting the Image's brush from the SetBrushFromTexture function.

[remote belfry]

I did go back to doing it that way. But I also figured it out. and am happy to report I am a complete moron who needs to probably go to bed. There was an NPC widget that I forgot to disable while trying this new implementation. Since the NPC image for that location and time of day are not in yet the blank texture was showing. This made it appear that the background was not loading. It's actually been working the whole time. I just assumed the new thing I was doing was the problem because, well, duh. Nope. Me. I wasn't working. I was the problem.

Thanks again.

[hushed hinge]

when i play an anim montage my character falls through the map

any tips

[dark drum]

I'm glad you sorted it but you might also want to check if the soft ref is already loaded, if it is, you can skip the async load.

[dark drum]

Montages don't affect collision unless you've setup a custom notify event that does. You'll need to show your setup and give more context for when it happens.

[hidden fossil]

So a quick question. What's the best way to hide or show a portion of an actor blueprint in relation to a conditional state? For instance, you have a device that opens a portal when stepped on, but after completion of the objectives on the other side of the passage it deactivates and can't be used again (and you therefore wish to change its appearance to indicate this).

[cedar viper]

guys can someone help me, my capsule/box collision can't collide/detect/overlap with static meshes like a trace would

[hazy linden]

You can use event dispacthers. U can call them smtg like OnPortalOpen and OnPortalClose and then update the state in the bound event

[obtuse oriole]

how do I limit the rotation lag of the spring arm? I am using it to smoothen out my true FPS camera stabilization but I don't want it to lag beyond 45 degree which the player would see their own face when they spin around fast enough

solved it, I just used quaternion different formula to calculate angle from current to target and use an exponential function to set the rotation lag speed from 10 to 100

[pale lotus]

how can i make objects that collide with radial force change their mobility?

[devout tide]

The purpose of having mobility is to not change it, that's why static is static. This also affects lighting etc. so ideally if something is going to move, its set to moveable

[violet bison]

how to get an actor (map object that is spawned by server)'s replication (in client) to call an event on its server self?

[pale lotus]

ok i dont care about the purpose

i just want to do it

[devout tide]

Well you should because that purpose is what will not allow you to do it. You cant

there is this node

but if you have baked lighting etc you will have issues most likely

Is there a reason you are avoiding a movable physics actor? Doesnt make sense to have physics on a static component, it most likely wont even receive the impulse as simulate physics requires movable mobility afaik

[pale lotus]

i have like 80k objects in my project and they are all set to static and i don't want to turn them all to movable

also i only want them to be movable for destruction

this is what i did

but it doesn't work

this works but it's a line trace meaning 1 object at a time

[devout tide]

try this with TempComps being a local variable

[pale lotus]

i managed to do this

it finally works

after 7 hours

[devout tide]

Not very efficient logic though, I'd avoid having so many casts and try to do it the way above

[inland jolt]

https://gyazo.com/0722a01c8e7146d333f343c9642e4478 why is there pretty much nothing about this error online lol?

this is a control rig, feeding a variable fetching a list of bones and setting the target array as parent for an fk chain

[dark drum]

You're trying to get an element for an index that doesn't exist. From the error it looks like you're trying to get index 5 but the array is empty.

[dark drum]

Why are you trying to avoid casting?

[inland jolt]

Yeah I found a section that wasn't supposed to be in use. I understand the issue now, it's just mentioning that there is an index that exists, not which one it is 😵

[hollow bane]

Hello, quick question, I am sure it's actually super easy but im too stupid for this... 😄

I have collectibles my character can collect. I want them to move up to the right corner where my Widget is counting them. This is what I came up with so far. Can you help me find out what the problem is?

[surreal peak]

You probably want to do this the other way round?

[hollow bane]

Flipping A and B of the lerp?

[surreal peak]

Na rather deprojecting the widget to world and then moving the actor to the location

[hollow bane]

ah

thanks for the tip, im gonna try this

cool! I am one step closer, its not perfect yet but at least now the collectibles move! thank you!

[pale mica]

good afternoon guys, does any one understand why it is not scaling as I zoom in or out

here is better quality

there is not really a player in the project

[dark drum]

There's no relationship between delta seconds and the player index. None the less, you probally need to be setting the screen size of the billboard instead of the scale.

[pale mica]

okay so I leave delta seconds disconnected

[slim pecan]

hey yall i have a quick question regarding loops in blueprints

do loops in bp run every tick or do they wait until the code in the loop is executed to repeat

The whole loop attempts to run in one tick. So don’t try putting delays in it or anything latent

[slim pecan]

Hello Everyone, my inventory component is showing up blank on my old character blueprint but if I create a new blueprint the inventory shows up fine. Is there a way to fix my old blueprint class or is it broken? Refresh nodes does not seem to work bdubs

[desert juniper]

this happens sometimes if you messed up something in the ctor of the actor class that (player character in this case)

usually the BP is fried and you need to make a new one.

[hexed cosmos]

hi guys
i'm stuck at this bug for about an hour and it's weird
when i place my splineMover blueprint in level it works fine but when i spawn it from blueprints the ghost gets stuck sometime
i apprecicate if someone helps me out

[desert juniper]

but you can try deleting intermediate, and binary files, along with the solution and try rebuilding from source

along with fixing up redirectors

and maybe a save all

[azure sail]

Dang 😦 yeah I completely retconned the inventory and player classes in C++ trying to setup my systems properly. Thanks for the info

[azure sail]

Fortunately I created a lot of defaults in the construction so I won't have to manually resave that much. This is a good pitfall to be aware of though

[desert juniper]

it mainly happens because you did something you weren't supposed to

• For instance not using the TEXT macro
• Renaming the components to a name that another component previously used
• Runtime code (things that should go in Begin Play)

[maiden wadi]

@desert juniper You can fix this by the way. It's just a null pointer. The component still exists just the pointer to it serialized badly So the pointer needs set back to the component and the BP resaved.

nest the loops

Connect the "Loop Body" of one loop to call the next Loop.

then spawn the actor using the values of both loops on the loop body of the second loop.

[steady night]

hmm

loop1 acts for your vertical values, loop2 acts for your horizontal values.

I cant use the skip player one when assigning new gamepad project setting because I need to be able to choose between gamepad or keyboard for player 1

[distant grotto]

why is my sphere multi trace not hitting after the first hit?

channel is definatley set up correctly

ok i had to set it to overlap

[hushed hinge]

Yep turns out I didn't recognize that co-pilot randomly decided to add an extra line removing the capsule collision, I ended up just opting for ragdoll physics for death instead of the montage because the montage just made the guy stand up after the montage was completed obviously

[dark drum]

You can just turn off the auto blend out or make the montage looping.

[dark drum]

Because it stops at the first blocking hit. It would only continue if what it hit was set to overlap instead of block.

[hushed hinge]

I'll try turning off the auto blend thank you

[maiden wadi]

Think of MultiTraces like a flamethrower. You want to know all things it's able to hit, but you don't want to get things past a blocking wall.

[exotic harbor]

some high level thoughts I could use some help with - I have a possessable vehicle component with a possessable rotatable gun turret in the back, all replicated, working nicely even in motion. the nasty bit is that my possessable turret is a child pawn inside of the vehicle BP. while it does seemingly work, I'd like to know what might be the best method of going about this.

[obtuse kiln]

If I have between 4 and 12 spell slots I want to have as names (which let me look up everything important in a data table)
does it sound more sensible to have twelve name variables, where the variable name is the slot and the value is the spell
or a single map of slot name to spell name?
this is specifically for ui purposes, as a middle man for adding/removing gameplay ability system abilities, and for saving/loading said abilities
so I think that I'll be accessing all of them pretty much any time I'm accessing any of them, except for when I'm changing spells

[zinc depot]

I have a problem! I am trying to make sprint when the player presses the shift key and after he reaches a certain distance he will come back to normal speed but it's not working can Anybody see the blueprint and tell me the problem

[obtuse kiln]

it looks like you're missing a connection to the branch in the first screenshot, after setting current location

[zinc depot]

@obtuse kiln can you explain where i should connect that branch connection

[obtuse kiln]

@zinc depot Wouldn't you want to connect Set Current Location to the Branch? I didn't really look at the rest of it closely, but it seems like it wants to compare current location to start location and if the distance is too big, the branch returns true and stops you

[delicate seal]

Do I need to have separate cast nodes for this functionality? Do I even need to have the execution noodles connected?

[maiden wadi]

No. But yes.

You could do pure cast nodes. But you'll end up using an IsValid anyhow which the cast node does internally. So in the end it'll be easier just to use two cast nodes instead of two pure nodes and two isvalid nodes.

[delicate seal]

Got it, thanks!

[tiny tundra]

Here's one that is making me tear my hair out. I am using a renderToTexture (showing multiple displays in the app) and I want to be able to point & click in a (renderToTexture) display to select objects. I have it working where an object will mimic my mouse's XY movement across the texture, and basically have a cube that can shoot a raycast down into the scene from there, that's all great. THE BIG PROBLEM is that as the movement is being mimicked across the XY plane, it's always pointing down toward the center of the landscape so the raycast is essentially firing to the same point in the ground regardless. My thinking was - maybe I can force my moving cube (shooter of raycast) to always look at the camera that this display is rendering from, and therefore it will always shoot the rays "down" from there? Now I am trying to do all of this in a single blueprint - and it is just not working, no matter how I come at it. Is there a better method I can attempt here, or t the very least a more sensible way to lock my moving cube to the same rotation (basically keep looking at) the sceneCaptureComponent Camera that is rendering my texture?

[autumn pulsar]

If I wanted to rotate a rotator around an axis, what would be the way to do that?

[hushed fox]

I’m pretty sure it’s because the top cube blocks the rest of them, multi sphere trace can detect multiple hits but only if it’s not being blocked. For example if you had this horizontal and the trace could see all of them it would probably work. Another option is to add the hit actor to the actors to ignore array after it’s been hit and then run the trace on a for loop so each time it hits, it runs again but this time ignoring the one before

Hi there, I'm having an issue with loading level async on the second time.
It works fine on the first time I call it, but if I unload it, then it will always returns false in Load Level Instance (By Object Reference) and never loads...

Maybe I'm unloading it wrong? There is no errors, it just never returns true. There is nothing in the target level blueprint, in the level itself it only have the global sun as light and clouds.

Ah found it, just need to use Set Is Requesting Unload and Removal instead of Unload Stream Level (By Name)
and plug the level variable I got from when the level was instantiated.

[supple needle]

I want the score to be carried on to the next levels till the end where it has to pop up the score and also timer and also want to add 2 milestones into my game but I can't quite figure out how to do it. I checked a few tutorials and it's not being helpful

[tulip yoke]

save the score to your game instance since that always exists

[supple needle]

Can you explain how I can do that? I'm new to UE and can't quite figure out how things work

[tulip yoke]

game instance is something that is always existing in your game from the start to the finish and is great to save things like variables (i.e. a score, playerid, inventory). to create one go to your blueprints folder>new blueprint>game instance (you may have to expand to search for it) and then afterwards go to your project settings>maps and modes> and set the game instance class to what your new game instance is called. that's so our game knows exactly which one to use. afterwards in your game instance make a new variable called score (or whatever you want it to be) and then compile and save it. afterwards go to where you set the score and change that code to be for your gameinstance. you should probably save it as a variable as casting is heavy, but anyways get game instance>cast to your game instance> and then set the score. after for your hud you should go to it and change it to read from your gameinstance score variable~

[supple needle]

so i have done till the part where i make a variable called score in the game instance and i compiled and saved it. i'm confused with the later steps

I'm not sure if this is what you meant when you said where I set the score

[supple needle]

Currently my score and timer resets back at every level and my score goes up like normal while I'm in in the next level

[steady night]

any of these values that looks alarming ?

[indigo zenith]

lol that game time

so how many ticking actors u have?

[steady night]

0

Its only a small platform and on start i generate 50x empty platforms also they spawn unita upon overlapp

So i guess the plattforms counts as ticking actors tho

?

[dark drum]

That would depend on what you're doing and you're hardware.

[steady night]

well aint doing much yet reallyu :/

[dark drum]

how many cores have you got and whats the clock speed?

[indigo zenith]

i doubt the cpu count will matter in this case, as u can see in the image hes cpu bound . his draw speed is way lower then my example

so something eating his cores up

if he can reduce his game time that will improve fps

from my knowledge that is

hes 10ms over budget in cpu

[steady night]

and game time is what ? what should i look fore

[dark drum]

the game thread runs on the CPU so it would make a difference. Hence why I asked lol.

[dark drum]

All blueprint stuff runs on the game thread. (and other game logic but unless you'd doing C++ then it's blueprints)

[dark drum]

Whats the game thread ms in an unmodified template map? (either 3rd or 1st person)

[indigo zenith]

good suggestion there

should be like 3-5 ms right?

on old hardware

[steady night]

¨well my cpu isent that bad but

[indigo zenith]

ye as u can see the game thread is now reduces by 13 ms

and u gain double fps

so either u have a shitton of ticking actors

[steady night]

hm ok, so ticking actors can be anything right ?

[indigo zenith]

console dumpticks

check log for results

[dark drum]

Yea you probably have a lot of ticking actors if you're not actually doing much. It'll be a little lower in a build though but definitely something you should look at reducing.

Having said that, you might not have a lot of ticking actors but do a lot in a handful of actors on tick

[indigo zenith]

or some weird overlap / hit actoes

[steady night]

well

[indigo zenith]

delays etc

[indigo zenith]

so its not ticking actors

[steady night]

since my map only consists of 1 small platform in editor and on run its generating 50x more

can i dumptic ingame ?

[indigo zenith]

ye

[dark drum]

What BP's do you have in the level?

[indigo zenith]

might be something with his procederal spawner

[steady night]

none really, im using the game mode to spawn the "level"

[dark drum]

Saying none isn't helpful. A single BP can tank you're game thread lol. What BP's do you have in the level and what do they do? lol.

[steady night]

https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/6a1q368o/

this is how im spawning the levels*

well liek what bps i have in the level, i have none except the gamemode

[dark drum]

how often does it get called?

[steady night]

once

[dark drum]

Does the gamethread go down (lower ms) after this has ran?

[steady night]

well this is run on gameplay so hard to say

[indigo zenith]

i think he also runs multiplayer?

[steady night]

ye

its mp

[indigo zenith]

so 2 screens

[steady night]

im only playing with 1 in this case

[indigo zenith]

allright

[dark drum]

It shouldn't make that much of a difference. From a client perspective, it should probally be slightly better as some of the calcs would be performed server side.

[indigo zenith]

agreed, but it will eat more cpu

[dark drum]

What are the two BP's that you spawn? what do they do?

[steady night]

well the first spawn is just a location spawner (empty bp to get a transform) the 2nd one is the acctual platform

[dark drum]

Technically yes because you have two instances running on the same machine but when running a single instance it would be lower.

[steady night]

spawns these

are are randomly generated inside

[dark drum]

And what logic does that BP have inside it?

[indigo zenith]

also consider putting the bp on stationary instead of movable

[steady night]

the only logic inside i basicly just a random florloops "this rock here Y/N" change mesh on this rock Y7N

[indigo zenith]

are that nomral static meshes or instances/hierarchical?

[steady night]

normal static mesh

[dark drum]

So there's loops in it?

[steady night]

yeah many loops

[indigo zenith]

that might also become a issue with these amount of meshes

[steady night]

but in my head is only runs once so a big fps bump upton creation sure but after shoujldent matter ?

[indigo zenith]

ur fps should go down after it has run

up

i mean

[steady night]

yeah it dose

[indigo zenith]

and game thread should go dow

until u reach ur desired fps

[steady night]

when playing in vireport its awesume

[indigo zenith]

so whats the issue?

[indigo zenith]

lol

[steady night]

in fullscreen

since we started ive disabled almost all tics / collisions in the spawning "plattforms"

i think it helped

[indigo zenith]

ah

well there u go

enjoy

[steady night]

or well now im playing as "listen server also"

before it was as client

lemme check sec

[indigo zenith]

i would try convert the static meshes to hierarchical or instances

set bp to stationary

and u should get even more fps

[steady night]

hm how do i do that ? or wdym

[indigo zenith]

blueprint defaults

if its on movable put it on stationary

if that are stationary tiles ofcourse

but i suppose so

[steady night]

hm ok ill check all

and that would improve preformance ?

[indigo zenith]

should be

[steady night]

ok, how so ? since im my head its already "stationary" since im not doing anything with it

or are any settings changing along with the change ?

[indigo zenith]

not entirly sure,. the difference between. i just learned it myself to do it that way. u can easely test right. see if there is difference wiht the amount of actors u have

and if it does change fps

[steady night]

yeahyeah im on it

also nother thing in the bps i have lights and is it enough to set them "Visible (no)" or dose it render "behind somehow" do i need to removethem all together to not cost anything =?

[indigo zenith]

i would either wait for mega lights

for now i would just change render distance

of lights

adjust to ur needs

[steady night]

ok

[indigo zenith]

its in the light somewhere

[steady night]

im getting alot of these

but thats faily obvious ?

[indigo zenith]

ye, just change back to movable

it prolly spawns em in and then move

doesnt matter

how does render distance of light affects fps

[steady night]

hm i cant find that field on my light actors

[indigo zenith]

its on the light itself

[steady night]

5.3 ?

[indigo zenith]

all versions its present

[steady night]

so not in project settings but on the actor ?

ohh there it is

so its like a attenuation radius ?

or what is it relating to ? where my camera is or ?

[indigo zenith]

distance from camera to light

[steady night]

okok

[indigo zenith]

or other way around, it doesnt matter. u will see when u change the settings and move ur camera towards and away from light

hope that will save some fps aswell

[steady night]

aye thanks!

i think its better now overall, i think however the client "lag(rubberbanding or whatever)" is about multiplayer stuff that i have to check into

[indigo zenith]

ye those questions can be better asked in multiplayer

[steady night]

yeah, also the max distance thingi

i se now its responding to the camera distance

can i override that to the character location instead ?

like with the audiolistner ?

[indigo zenith]

thats beyond my knowledge

[severe wagon]

Dunno if this is the best place to ask but, using the Async loading screen plugin on the marketplace, it works fine locally, everything loads as you would expect. When running it via pixelstreaming the loadscreen begins, works for a bit and then freezes for about 30 seconds before loading in properly. If I disable the loadscreen I get a black screen but only for a few seconds then it loads in. So the plugin seems to be causing it to freeze when pixelstreamed but works fine locally and works fine streamed without the plugin.

[dark drum]

It would be best to contact the author of the plugin. There's no guarantee anyone here knows the specific of how it works and it's unlikely to be blueprint related.

How can I make my widget in my blueprint not look incredibly huge?

[primal summit]

Hi Guys I have a big problem,
I packaged my game and i got a few errors about some materials in the editor folder so i changed the materials directory to my project one.
After that it continued to give me errors.
My PC turned off because my power turned off for a second, and now everytime i open a project i get this crash.
This crash occurs on every project i try to open, even on a blank project.

[primal tangle]

Maybe verify Your UE files ?

[primal summit]

The verify option on my ue version is unavailable, i dont know why

[primal tangle]

and You can't open UE at all ?

[primal summit]

my projects wont open at all, on loading they crash with that error

[late canyon]

can anyone help me for a movement fps base project?

[spark steppe]

resume sounds like it's not finished downloading?!

or still running?!

[primal summit]

oh i'll try to finish downloading it and let you know

[primal summit]

that solved the problem

[storm vigil]

agree on this one, when i learnt about interfaces, i tried to use it as much as i can. I was even using it on things that need to be loaded anyways, so now i removed some misuse about it.

[grizzled beacon]

is there a way to shoot the trace in the forward direction of the character? :|

I'm unable to get it work

[dark drum]

for the end location, multiply the forward vector by the distance you want it to travel out and then add it to the start location. (get world location in this instance)

[grizzled beacon]

nope, the line starts from character but ends totally on a different part

the idea is to shoot it forward the character

it shoots to the left side of the character

[dark drum]

Try getting the forward vector of the actor itself instead of the mesh inside it.

[grizzled beacon]

it worked, thank you

[dark drum]

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this to look like it's going to work but then the NPC just stands still for a few seconds before the finished pin is fired? The NPC never reaches the target. If it failed to reach the target, I would assume the failed pin would fire instead.

[empty marten]

Hey peeps,
2 separate questions. I'm hoping someone can help.

1. I'm trying to make my UMG Widget a bit more procedural by allowing users to set some variable settings upon generation rather than manually setting some things. How do I make it so when a user adds another drive to this array here, it exposes its default variables for a user to set? I'm trying to make it that the number of items in the array, is the number of drives that gets added to a wrapbox I have. Essentially how do I expose the default variables in the details panel here if possible? (Pic 1)

2. How do I get it so that if for example I have the Systems? boolean ticked, it hides the other variables that can be set? Trying to make it so that if a variable doesn't need to be used for a certain part of the blueprint, it doesn't have a reason to be shown. Is that possible? (Pic 2)

[waxen briar]

hello guys i need help with basic multiplayer, i cannot trigger apply damage from client to other clients, only from server side, i tried to create custom shoot event to run or server that is isnide weapon blueprint but it kicks me out when i trigger it, what am missing? (screen is from my bp_weapon_component_pistol)

[grizzled beacon]

Why the mesh it's not generating the HIT string? The animation is in place but the mesh compenetrate the other mesh during the attack

the bool variable is true as well

[dark drum]

Should you be checking the bool for the actor that is being overlapped?

[grizzled beacon]

no the problem is that if I move toward the overlapped actor, while attacking, it generated the hit event

if I don't move towards him, even if both meshes compenetrates it doesn't generate the hit event o.O

[narrow sentinel]

Anyone know what might be going wrong here, I'm bassically making a simple storage rack actor where I can choose amount of racks and it'll add them as needed.

at the moment though I get this

you can see the offset is and isn't working

[dark drum]

For clarity, what you're doing is this.

Actor A gets overlapped, gets the anim instance for Actor A and checks bool from it. Should there be an Actor B in the equation?

[grizzled beacon]

not really

the thing is being able to get the hit event when the mesh overlaps something while playing the animation attack

[narrow sentinel]

nevermind sorted it

the origin for the meshes was in centre of the mesh so it was working just human error haha

[grizzled beacon]

the problem is that it doesn't get overlapped while the animation is played in place without going forward to the other actor (which could even be a wall, just for test)

[astral wyvern]

Question : I need to move bones manually while physics are disabled (or else I can't force them). But the weight shapes on them don't follow (obviously), which breaks collisions. Any fix here?

Basically you can see the collision as the sphere that remains there in this video, I'd like it to move with the bone I'm moving

[rancid moat]

I feel like I'm missing something, but is there no way to sphere cast and retreive every hit? Not just the first hit per object

[faint pasture]

multi sphere trace?

What are you trying to do?

multiple hits on a single object from a sphere trace doesn't make sense

[rancid moat]

it only return the first hit per object

I want a sphere, from a point, and retrieve every hit that sphere get

Which would give me the outline of any shape in that sphere based on the density of that sphere

[dapper panther]

Anyone know of how to modify crouch height by user input? Ie. Ltcrl is crouch but ltcrl + mouse wheel up adds X cm of crouch height to the PlayerCharacter

Trying to figure out where I can modify this in the crouch BP I set up but I don't see how I can edit that value

[left valley]

forgive what is probably a common question, but looking for advice on how best to implement a grenade launcher that travels correctly to the crosshair, allowing the player to easily shoot it through a small gap without:

• the projectile offset on the gun model changing the travel path due to being offset from the crosshair widget
• putting the gun model in the center of the screen (my game won't have ADS)
• Making the grenade magically fly out of the player camera (ok to concede on this requirement if its the only way)

I figured I'd just do a line trace and set the rotation of the offset to hit it, but that doesn't work great when you're trying to shoot it through a gap into the area behind it

I know there's probably a load of ways to achieve this, but is there a common best practice?

additionally any way that automates it so you cant fire it through thin walls via poking the gun model through it would be great

[trim matrix]

im trying to recreate this camera system for my game, but im not sure how, noteable things being the following the player when they turn, only moving up on the second jump not both, and still being able to have camera rotation while the camera follows the player, how could i recreate this?

[noble robin]

Hi all, I am trying to write a small shared blueprint function library.
Inside this library I want to fetch the actor label, this function does not seem to be available for some reason though.
Any ideas as to what might be going on?

[maiden wadi]

Unsure of your specific case. But that is an EditorOnly function. So depending on what you're trying to use it for, it won't work in a cooked game.

[noble robin]

I did read it can not be used outside of editor-time, but since I'm trying to use it in an editor utility widget I thought it should be fine.
There don't seem to be any settings I can tweak on the blueprint function library to make it appear though

[maiden wadi]

Then you're trying to do this in a normal Blueprint Function Library. Which protects your from yourself by forcing you not to use editor only functions. Since it cannot promise you won't try to run this in some runtime class.

What you need is an Editor Function Library. Go to Editor Utilities and make a new Editor Utility Blueprint. The fourth option down is an Editor Function Library.

[noble robin]

Aah okay, that's what I'm looking for, perfect!!

Hi can someone help me understand what is wrong with my door BP

please and thanks in advance

[tiny tundra]

Here's a scene, with BP Actor containing a SceneCaptureComponent2D in the top left. Given that I will have a few instances of this (different views into the same scene) - I want to mouse-click on an object in the mini-display and be able to make a selection (ultimately drag and drop). Right now I am struggling with how to do a raycast in this manner. I am able to get my XY coords 0-1 on the image so I know where the mouse is hovering over, but I don't know how to shoot a ray out of where that is using that SceneCaptureComponent correctly. Doesn't seem like this should be a very hard issue but I am struggling with it..

[ivory spoke]

Hey is there any method to make landscape generated grass interactable? Cut with sword or remove if actor is placed on?

Why won't this return the movement vectors?

it's supposed to be used for combat, I'm wanting to get the movement so that it can correctly decide the next attack index to go to

[trim matrix]

im a roblox coder primarily tryna start in unreal does anyone know what this would look like in blueprints? array index's coupled with variables, havent found out how to do it with BP yet. apologies, im new

[chilly crane]

This doesn't appear to work either...

[trim matrix]

this is essentially setting variables that arent in that script, and are declaring them in a script that uses them. I am unsure of how to create smth like this in UE bcuz one idk how to nestle these other ghost variables into each other in an array like this, and two, dunno if I could do the same calling without setting stuff. would it be advantageous to make them functions in one blueprint instead of 2 seperate ones or smth?

[desert juniper]

unreal is going to be a hell of a lot harder than scripting in roblox

I know most of the essentials ive been at this for a month im wondering the most optimal way to do smth like this since im still kind of new, yes ive gone thru that obviously

I wanna add them to blueprints and I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do

[trim matrix]

srry ppl just assume roblox dev = doesnt know any code
anyways any advice for using one struct multiple times for different rooms (gonna use a cast to the parent class to get the ref easily) or do I just have to experiment

[desert juniper]

before steering you in the wrong direction here, why don't you let me know what your actual goal is

[trim matrix]

essentially rebuilding a dungeon generator system from roblox. I have it all spawning and such in orientation so it all works and I can make it do tons of rooms what im currently working on is a system of reworking how it chooses rooms. rn its just an array and a random node. essentially, the structs are going to hold the room class but since I dont want structs for every room, I'm wondering if I could just use the parent class and do casting in the BP. it also holds the direction of the room (left turn/right turn) and if it went vertical (has stairs) which are now after a bit of work are set up in a function to be set pretty easily, I just don't know how to select the room. (might go the manual route and just add an extra few nodes in a function instead of a struct.

but at that point the room and var arent even together so it might as well all be done without structs

[desert juniper]

got to be honest, still don't know exactly what you're asking

I'm gathering that you want to store information about a room that was generated, but at the same time you don't?

are these rooms procedurally created? or are they handmade?

[trim matrix]

right sorry should explain more. it is an array of prefab rooms that are stored in a single array. I want to store the room class (a class reference cuz I dont need any specific object for spawning) and intertwine it with the direction and if it has verticality, so it does not, for instance, repeat multiple right turns in a row. I cant seem to find if I could set the room types in a way easier then just adding a cast to node or smth, and at that point the struct loses its value. at this point, I'm realizing that it most likely is unnecessary

[desert juniper]

I don't think casting means what you think it does. part of the confusion is that you're using some terms incorrectly when trying to explain.

I want to store the room class (a class reference cuz I dont need any specific object for spawning) and intertwine it with the direction and if it has verticality,
This would be perfect for a struct

So the way I build my dungeon generator, as it's storing rooms it's creating a struct that holds a reference to the room that was created (in my case, my rooms are PDAs with a softpointer to ULevelInstance), and information about where it was spawned. such as the location, rotation, etc

[trim matrix]

yes, thats a good idea. sorry I'm realizing now I explained this a bit wrong

[desert juniper]

in my case when i do the path generation, i also store which enterances are used, and which ones aren't so I can close up unused doors

[trim matrix]

the stuff its storing wouldn't have been created yet. therefore, I would not have an object reference for the room to add yet. these structs would be for the generation deciding so it doesn't attempt to spawn smth that was just spawned instead of checking afterwards.

therefore, unless im wrong, I wouldnt be able to store any rooms without already setting them as a variable or taking them out of the array at which point, theres most likely an easier way to do this.

[desert juniper]

yeah do all the math, and generation first, then lastly create the rooms

you don't need to store the spawned actor / level instance right away. just store the struct / data container that holds all the information about the room to spawn

then one all your generation logic is done you can go back and iterate through your array of rooms, and actually spawn the levels

[trim matrix]

hmm spawning them all at the end is an interesting idea.

[desert juniper]

side note: you alluded to the fact that the rooms may actually be blueprints
if this is the case, it's a recipe for disaster. child actor blueprints are horriblly broken
I'd recommend looking at packed level actors instead
it's basically unreal's version of unity's prefab system

What I do is I have a PDA that stores room data , and which level instance to spawn
the data holds info like door locations, room size, room type, etc

[trim matrix]

oh damn really? whats wrong with child BP's?

[desert juniper]

then i have a struct that holds the PDA, location, rotation, etc
when i have all generation done, I iterate through that array, get the PDA, get the world (Level Instance) and spawn it

(I mispoke so i corrected my messages. LevelInstance instead of Packed Level Actor)

[desert juniper]

buggy af. completely broken. sometimes child actors spawn, sometimes they don't. sometimes they spawn at world origin, and a bunch more issues.

bed time. gl

know ur asleep so u prob wont respond but I dont got any errors with em. u sure its a big thing?

[desert juniper]

You won’t get errors. Just bugs. Look through the server for mentions of them and bugs

[trim matrix]

dang alri

[supple needle]

hello?

[trim matrix]

can u explain more on how u do it? for instance, how are you getting the exits before the object is actually spawned and created?

[desert juniper]

I lied about sleeping. decided it was more awake than asleep
so my room PDA contains a struct that stores all the entires / exits (I just call them entries)

it stores the entry transform so that I can get location as well as rotation

I created some editor tooling to help automate the entires of where the doors should be

for my dungeon generation i calculate where every single actor / level istance should be before anything is ever spawned

[sudden nimbus]

I'll just underscore that ChildActorComponent is broken exactly as described -- use as last resort. Level instances or packed level actors are a much better solution

hi if i disable tic´s on actors is the another way to handle collision overlapps on them ?

[maiden wadi]

Disabling tick shouldn't disable overlap calls?

[steady night]

hmm aye i just saw my collison being wrong, ok but what dose tics disable affect primarily then ?

[ripe sun]

It disables "event tick"?

iirc

[steady night]

yeah but what would that entail if the actor dosent use any tics ? in bp for instance or is there something underlaying or by default it turns off ?

[ripe sun]

by default an most actor should tick, I'm not 100% sure but there should be an option to disable ticking in the properties menu or somethign

[steady night]

yeah but im disabeling it someone say performance will increase by disabeling even if i dont use nay "tics"

[ripe sun]

Disabling it will disable event tick. It can improve performance if your event tick takes a long time.

[maiden wadi]

By default all actors tick, It's function overhead. But to notice it you need thousands of actors running a blank tick to notice it.

[steady night]

aye but im spawning "platform playable areas with like 100 actors on each" and im spawning 50x100 so about 5000 actors

i guess

so it should help atleast ?

or rather it dosent hurt

[ripe sun]

wtf

5000 is a lot

[steady night]

or well not actors (static meshes)

[maiden wadi]

Possibly. But don't take people's random advice and do random optimizations. Profile it using insights. Don't guess.

Listening to people is good. 😄 But I'm just saying that nothing will beat a profiler. What people say change based on the info they're given. And an actual profile means solid proof of issues instead of guess work.

[steady night]

yeah but insight is complex and im using it in babysteps

so if i get tips in befgorehand il will try them

[maiden wadi]

Insights is fairly easy once you're used to it. Just have to get used to reading the chunks of time.

-------------blueprint initialisation process-------
i had a compoent on an actor working fine and now its not working correctly. the issue is that the variables that exist on the component never seem to initialse in editor time, not even after running the construction script multiple times.

I have a variation of this that is an actor- and all is well with the world. I think the cause is related to how variables are initialised in editor.

An example variable is the number of rows 'rows' that my LCD display needs:

Here is what the working one looks like:

and if i edit the number of rows it operates as i like:

and this is the actor that has the component variable that is giving me problems:

and the relevant code and log output:

i vaugley recall that someone mentioed this being fixable in c++ which i can do if ihave to - but i'd like to sticik to blueritn if possible.

any ideas?

oh sorry i shoudl say the defualt value of teh variable is '2' but i'm changing the variable in editor and the construtor keeps outputing '2' and not whatever random number i type

[dark drum]

I've encounted this issue as well. I wasn't able to locate a BP based solution to it unfortunately. :/ The closest I got was using Begin Play to run what I would have ran on construction script. This does mean you won't be able to see the changes in the editor though but should be correct when playing.

Hi guys.
So I have a problem.

I'm trying to create a "true" first person character controller using the new third person sample pack that came out in 5.4.

My problem, is that in when looking left and right, I end up looking inside the head. I found a workaround for this by clamping the x Mouse input. But the problem is that this doesn't work for my client's PC (the person I'm building this project for). He has a logitech gaming mouse, and I'm using a standard mouse. He says the camera still goes inside the character model for him. I'm guessing this is because of mouse sensitivity/delta time. What's the proper way to calculate delate time for this?

Can someone help?

[dawn karma]

huzzah i have solved (kinda) turn based combat. all i need to do now is figure out how to make the turn start for each one.

Here's a better picture

i accept this might not be the best way to do it, but the basic gist is that i want the character with the highest speed to go first, second second, etc

[frosty heron]

@dawn karma you should store the actors you want to query in a container.
Using get all actor of class is like a pinky promise that you want to get every single instance of the said class.

You can get a list of every single characters that you want to query, store reference in an array.
Then sort them based on the highest speed

[dawn karma]

o7 !

Hard to help. Your question doesn't really present what you're trying to accomplish. What does "true first person character controller" mean? Why is this different from.. others? What is wrong with the camera being in the head? You would think that for a true fps view the camera would be in the head?
