elfin hazel
If that's the case, then make sure that the event fires in the first place. Place a print string and see if it prints.
Or, where is this logic happening? Is this in the BP Lights class?
hexed coral
yeah its definitely the Box collision its not recognising anything.
This is BP lights.
elfin hazel
Ah, your lights actor doesn't have any collision primitives.
hexed coral
oh ok.
gritty elm
@hexed coral you need to cast to actor like this
hexed coral
but doesn the root have a collision?
elfin hazel
Nope. You'll need a primitive for collision to happen. Meshes can be primitives, though they may not have collision set up. Another primitive is the "Shape" ones, like sphere, box.
hexed coral
oh wow it worked! I just added sphere collision to BP_lights. I was fighting with that blueprint all day. Thanks so much!

Man, gameplay tags are a little bit of a pain to work with. Is there a more practical way to do this?
inner ginkgo
I'm not sure about the rest of your design there, but you appear to be using tags for something that is probably best suited with another structure, like an enum.
elfin hazel
The nice thing about using a tag container is that it can hold several items, where as the enum is just one state.
inner ginkgo
Sure, but then this particular example doesn't seem to be making use of that feature.

Hi I'm currently involved in dev on a fighting game. It's early days for us, and I'm new to Blueprints. Currently I'm stuck trying to set the players for the versus mode. I have a slider on the menu that controls that, but I don't know how to connect it up to the battle game mode. Some of the tutorials I've been looking at have mentioned casting to game instances but I don't know if it's applicable to my current issues. Any help would be welcome, thanks.
elfin hazel
Set players, controlled by slider? No idea what that means. But if you want to access a custom game mode class you need to Get Game Mode and cast to your game mode. Game Instance is another object, but would be accessed the same way.

How do i make blueprint a move in certain direction constantly with an Finterp? I want to move the blueprint in ws not local space

Heya folks. I have some difficulties on finding some valuable info's about something. I am tracing under mouse cursor to get a world position from the impact point of the trace. That works fine. I just struggle to find two other things now:

b) after the look at, setting this impact point as new (temporary) pivot point for camera orbit rotation
Any ideas?
This is what i have at the moment

I would like to be able to call a function but dynamically specify what function gets called when that function completes. Is there a BP way to do this?
earnest tangle
can you just not call the function and then call whatever you want called next?
dense badger
I want to be able to call this utility function from anywhere but it contains delays so I need a handle to it's completed event
earnest tangle
well if you make it a macro it can have an exec pin that you call from the delay
otherwise you'd probably have to do something with setting up an event that gets triggered when the function completes and binding to it when calling
dense badger
Ah yeah that makes sense
Yeah I wanted to do that second thing but a macro is probably simpler
Couldn't figure out how to set up the binding on call
earnest tangle
basically you'd need to have a custom event dispatcher OnMyEvent, then you can bind to it from the actor, but it might not work if you have f.ex. a blueprint function library or something, since they can't really have event dispatchers
dense badger
Ah ok that makes sense
Macro is much simpler in this case but glad I know how. 🙂

Literally this is what i try to achieve:
a) make the camera "look at" this given impact point with some smooth lerp.

Or if anybody used Second Life before: Their camera "detach and move/rotate" system.
I also created a temp actor at the mouse inpact point. So actually the current system should have everything setup for the camera to look at something
I probably need to create a new camera there for it

Hi there! I've got a blueprint that inherits from Actor (InteractableStation), and another blueprint that inherits from that (SteeringWheel).
I've got a SteeringWheel child component on another blueprint (ship), and it doesn't appear in either the blueprint viewport or the actual game. Is this due to something funky with how Unreal handles inheritance, or does adding a blueprint to a blueprint not work how i think?

you dont need to do anything with it
just cast succeed/failed
if it succeeded, it means it hit the character, so blend the camera
you should probably get the camera from the first person character bp though as that is the one you want to move

You have to look into level streaming unfortunately. I've never done it myself so I can't give you advice

Hey there and good morning!
So, I am still on that little camera system that would allow to detach a Third Person Camera by using Alt/Ctrl/Shift + LeftMouseButton hold to navigate around.
I've made a video which shows the whole show that I try to replicate.
So far, I am able to pan the camera around and to get an impact point under cursor.
What I was not able to figure out for two days now is:
- to make the camera look at a certain impact point with a lerp (smooth)
- taking this impact point as new rotation for orbit
- snap/move camera back from any position to the original third person view once the character moves
I know I am asking for much here but I have nearly 100 open tabs with topics that would go into that direction but are either other unanswered questions or going in complete other directions.

I've also created an actor blueprint that generates "clouds" as static meshes with material opacity
and it's not good enough either..

@brittle fiber The problem is that when you leave the overlap, you toggle the visiblity of the increase, so when you enter it again, it's not visible. You'll need to toggle it on enter too.
Though I'd recommend not using toggle, but more explicitly use Set Visibility.

You also don't really need that begin play event since you can just set it "hidden in game" by default.
Also, since you are using "propogate to children" you only need to call it on the parent which is "frame"

There might be

But Boolean should do too

Just be aware with is valid, that if your value is not valid, the code will be blocked it won't execute, so put a print string on is not valid to see if this is the case.

Recreating the logic yourself would be just as efficient as using a "node" that does the same logic.

Is there a way to position a camera based on what it can see?
For example, say I have a dining table with a big turkey in the middle. Is there a way to have the camera "focus" on a specific object, so I can have it zoom out or move away so that the whole table is visible, and then zoom in and focus on the turkey?

Media player has node "is playing "- Check whether playback has started. Target is Media Player. But I am playing the sound through "play sound at location"...not sure does that counts as media player..
Probably not.I think only works for play node

Yes, you can change the FOV of the camera or the spring arm length to zoom the camera in or out.

@proud hull I think I will just create counter that counts for the duration of the sound then changes the boolean value.

go to LIGHTING, and check Overriden light maps. then rebuild and it should return it back to normal.

SOrry im really new at this where do i find the lighting Tab?
hardy sentinel
@odd plume .. have you debuggued which branch is going (true, false)? 😄 Or maybe putting a breakpoint there to see whats happening..?
proud hull
@odd plume can you do this:
Just connect get player character directly to print string, the middle node is created for you
Your player character is coming back null most likely
So that will print nothing, but if it does print something, let us know
shut hinge
its found under details tab, click on your tree mesh and go down the details tab to lighting
and check overriden lights, and your trees should regain their lighting. The other way is to insert in a skylight and directional light and set them to movable so you lights are no longer baked.
odd plume
Nothing is printing out
shut hinge
It won't not until the referencing problem is resolved so it can Past the IS VALID branch, otherwise it stays stuck on is NOT VALID and goes nowhere on false.

proud hull
@odd plume you should make a new game mode, so you can set your default pawn class to your custom player character.
tight cobalt
I mean, crating lightmaps should be checked on import..But honeslty I would suggest you to learn how to do it properly. To adjust the density and size.
Its all about managing resources. Just watch the videos I sent you,,it heleped me a lot when i started.

I dunno if anyone saw this, so I'll post it again:
Is there a way to position a camera based on what it can see?
For example, say I have a dining table with a big turkey in the middle. Is there a way to have the camera "focus" on a specific object, so I can have it zoom out or move away so that the whole table is visible, and then zoom in and focus on the turkey?
Thanks.

C++ class and derrive blueprint from it? or a bp class?
tight cobalt
@tight venture Maybe you can make 2 cammeras that change on key press or smthing
But i think you would ahve to do it for every item seperatelly
proud hull
You can just make it a bp class. Use C++ classes when you know you need to use C++ to utilize it.
shut hinge
Yes, you can change the camera's fov and Zoom by adjusting the spring arm length on the camera.
tight cobalt
Or maybe mark the asset as specific type, then if asset type is this...change this cammera parameters.
proud hull
Also, this is just to set your defaults and can easily be modified later or replaced with a new game mode
shut hinge
But if you're planning on switching kittiy meshes, (switch pawns,) make sure you have a collision sphere around your character so the camera dosen't end up inside the mesh.
tight venture
Yes, but can I have it automatically "focus" on an object, within a blueprint? If I'm hearing y'all correctly, that all sounds like manually adjusting the camera.
Just like the F key in the editor viewport, except in game
shut hinge
it can be done in blueprints automatically, to adjust the camera but i don't know the logic for that in blueprints.
proud hull
We are in the #blueprint channel though, so most people here won't be using C++ and might only have a C++ project since a plugin required it.
tight cobalt
@tight venture No..you set it once in BP..then its called everytime when you look the specific item. Maybe you could do line trace..SO it fraced object is "Food" cagetory, then zoom cammera .
proud hull
I know that, but if someone is asking whether or not to use a C++ class, then chances are they won't be using C++, hehe
shut hinge
Anyone know why chaacters don't resume their normal AI Navigation when switching pawns?
tight venture
hmmm, that's an interesting option @tight cobalt. I guess I can try that. Okay, so that will work, but I'd need a way to do a line trace of the corners of the camera's view. There's gotta be a node for that, right? Like, GetCameraViewBounds or something?
tight cobalt
@tight venture Hmm..Rlly not sure,I am not that experienced with that. I assume there is a way to shoot multiple rays all over the screen size.
sonic hare
its found under details tab, click on your tree mesh and go down the details tab to lighting
@shut hinge i did that and it dident fix it
shut hinge
rebuild the lighting again after selecting the light map override.
shut hinge
What is in your world outliner, do you have a skylight and directional light in there.
tight cobalt
@tight venture The problem might happen if you have multiple items on the screen that need zoom..It would be buggy. I would still do center weighted screen line trace
sonic hare
What is in your world outliner, do you have a skylight and directional light in there.
@shut hinge i have both yes

@odd plume any luck getting your defaults setup and getting get player character to return anything besides null?

@proud hull I'm taking a break. I found tutorials, but none of them go over a custom health component like have

@sonic hare Nvm..Btw do you even need lightmaps for movable lights? I think its used only for baked.
shut hinge
a health component, uh oh, i had trouble with my levelling component showing the same stats of all party members at once on the screen instead of showing one stat at a time during switching.
It appears that customized engine built landscapes have a deformation problem, the landscape bends and warps as you get closer to it.
rigid heart
It appears that customized engine built landscapes have a deformation problem, the landscape bends and warps as you get closer to it.
@shut hinge You can change your landscape's LOD settings in the details panel.
shut hinge
What about the party members? If I use the same widget to read the stats from, I get overlapping problems of all their stats when adding the levelling component to them.
So I figured the only way I can try to do it is to put each of their party stats counters on 10 separate different widgets so I can turn on their stats one by one by turning on their widgets when switching to party members rather than to mess around with setting all their text changes in the same widget in the blueprints.

My editor (4.24) crashes every time I try to edit parent classes of character blueprints. Whenever I try to make a change to a component in a character’s parent class (changing the collision type for example), I get the error below.
This only happens when I make a change to a component that’s inherited from the default character class, such as the mesh or capsule component. Changes to any other components that I added myself don’t cause a crash, nor does compiling the blueprint.
Changing the collision type (or anything else) of the CapsuleComponent via construction script works, but editing it in the details panel causes a crash. Character blueprints without children are working fine.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I need to find a solution for this pretty badly and have no idea what I could do to debug it. If anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated.

@mortal wharf Level sequence reference
I usually make sequence in content browser right click --(its under animation--> level sequence). Then in levelBP under event begin play I create "Crete level sequence player". then under select sequence you chose the name of the one you made. THen I right click on return value and I promote it to variable and give it a name.
Laster on you can use it in any time just by attaching that variable to any play sequence node in your bp.

Hi everyone, I am having a strange issue - I am constantly checking if I am overlapping actors (as seen in screenshot), however it doesn't work for units that are placed in the level ahead of time. If I spawn one in dynamically, it also won't work, but if I teleport the dynamically spawned one, then it WILL start to work - any ideas as to why this is so finnicky?
My characters are all setup correctly to generate overlaps - collision response channels are correct

tight cobalt
Why would you play sequence in actor?
mortal wharf
Because i need the sequence to play after something that happens in the actor.
tight cobalt
Hmm..not sure about that. Never tried it
You can make boolean in actor when something happens to the character, then call it in level bp to start the sequence.
@mortal wharf I gues the process is the same in Actor bp..you just need to make event tick node.
Or..maybe you can use set timer by function name to call the event
flint nymph
you can plug the actor’s self reference into the instigator pin
and use the get instigator node in the fireball bp

Specifically, what does Ortho Width mean? The larger I make it, the more the camera can see, but what are its units? If it is in world-space distance units, then what does having an Ortho Width of, say, 512.0 mean? Does that mean that the camera will be able to see a 512x512 plane centered at (0,0) when the camera is at position Z on the z axis? How would I solve for Z?
I have a plane that is 4000x4000 on the XY, centered at (0,0). What do I need to set the Ortho Width and the Z position of the camera to to ensure the entire plane is in view?

I'm possessing various pawns during gameplay - it's about a spirit, so it's kind of the point of the game. That's all fine. The problem is savegame and re-spawn. How do I pass the "current pawn" as "player pawn" to the game instance so when I load the game, it spawns me properly, as the pawn I was possessing when I saved? Or how can it be done?
@mortal wharf is the animation played via AnimBP/StateMachine or Montage? If it's via AnimBP, get the bool from it (when entering state, or make another one) and use that to condition your camera. If it's in montage it's very simple: trigger event for camera on animnotify set right at the beginning of your anim timeline.
shadow bronze
so how do i switch the capsule collision for a character to be a box or something more complicated?.. the internet has not been helpful at all.
round idol
@shadow bronze in bp, afaik, you don't
you can make your custom "character" from a pawn
shadow bronze
oh?
round idol
well, add skeletal mesh, movement component etc and make your own character from pawn. I know it's possible but never tried it myself. As I remember, the movement component wans't exposed to bp or something - dunno if i got this right tho, has been awhile and things have changed in these 6-7 versions since then
shadow bronze
so its the same thing, just without the capsuel to start with?
round idol
yes, you can avoid the capsule, but as I was saying, I'm not sure about the movement component and it's relation to the capsule. Try it out, it really depends on what you want/need
If you don't need it or want to make your own movement logic, then you should be fine without using character class at all
the only thing which makes it "special" is pretty much the movement component
spring magnet
@shadow bronze a pawn is something the player can posses and control, and a character is a type of pawn that also includes the ability to move around like a typical player would, and that movement requires a capsule to work properly
if you want your player to control something like a ball or whatever, then i would suggest making that from a pawn
@round idol you could consider storing the class of the current pawn and using that to spawn a fresh version on game load
round idol
@shadow bronze First thing that came to mind ofc, not working in my particular case. Found some other option but the problem I have now is with a function override on GameMode which initializes before the player pawn class is spawned but (somehow) requires as output an actor not a class -.- "SpawnDefaultPawnFor" is the function...Makes no sense
by all logic, it should ask for a class, otherwise it's half-useless if used during level init 😐

shadow bronze
so if my character is a tank what your telling me is that it needs to have that useless capsule hitbox? @spring magnet @round idol
round idol
@shadow bronze no, we were telling you that if you want to use the "character" class for it's movement component/whatever other reason, then yes, it needs to have it. But a "tank" in my game would always be of "pawn" class, not character
round idol

do either of you guys have a mic?

When switching to diferent pawns, you have to make sure you have a sphere collision around your character you are switching to or your camera will end up inside the player mesh.

shut hinge
you need the camera and the springarm and also the collision sphere.. Well I use a collision sphere to push the camera out from the player because
I can't be bothered using the player capsule to keep the game camera out of the player's mesh.
Why I use a collision sphere around the characers, is because its easier and it also stops any other AI pawns from also overlapping and going inside of each other as well.

I am about to concerning this problem, I got it working Cedric BUT when you switch pawns the Counters dissapear and only the active pawn shows the counter, they don't stay on screen unfortunately until I switfch back to that pawn again..

So i am trying to do this: Change camera if a character is in a specific animation in 10 secs but if the character is not in animation don't do the countdown. https://gyazo.com/23d6c5283bb497510a30603cb3216d6f
i tried that it did change camera but 1. it didn't do it after 10 seconds it did it after like 3 secs 2. the character wasn't even in the animation when it happened.

Hi, How can i display a live edit on a blueprint inside the viewport without pressing play? I setup my blueprint to change the color of a door for customization and made the variable public. when i make an edit to the color it doesn't show until i press play

@west jasper you could probably put that in the construction script so it will also change in the editor without needing to press play
west jasper
that worked straight away. Completely forgot about that!
thank you:)
also is there away to set the vector param that changes the color to an actual color pallette type thing if that makes sense?

@west jasper you could use material instances

how do I get player experience to increase by walking around ?
@shut hinge You check if the player walked since the last frame/second and then apply the xp
So check velocity or position change
shut hinge
how? I been trying max walk speed but its not working.
thin rapids
wdym you've been trying max walk speed?
shut hinge
trying to get one of my party members Rex to walk a certain speed to increase up his XP. Rather than increasing his XP over time. I want the player to walk around to increase it. Currently his XP increases when he levels up.

Hello folks, me again - that Viking bastard.
May I steal a minute from the brave folk here to take a look at a target Blueprint and what I could do to add a proper Lerp to make a camera look smooth to a point in space?
the gif shows how it works at the moment. Sadly my attempts on lerping with RInterp to did not work
I would also need to change the Reset Relative Transform which starts when the character is moving again. This little gem here should end in a system like this:

@full fog shouldn't it be FInterp instead of RInterp?
nvm FInterpTo is not for rotation
my mistake

-uff. I can try. Little note: I am just an artist learning BP's, a cow can better code than me.
like this? I wonder what would be good numbers for delta time and interp speed..
full fog
so, i did this -- the current problem now is that the cam moves, but stops. its actually just moving to the direction of the target but not the whole way.
shut hinge
ar you sure its x, i'm not getting any response from the print string when walking forward.
supple dome
yes
shut hinge
I'm switching pawns, but its not registering the print string. hmmm, not sure why.

HitLocation comes from mouse click, while interpolating on tick, make sure the clicked location is saved to a variable, then use it to interpolate

yeah the hitlocation is getting lost

shut hinge
well hasn't worked, I put this in rex's BP as a custom event, Get actor of class\Target = Character Movement = Updated Primitive = Get Forward Vector <= 20 (Branch) Print String "Walk Forward"
supple dome
its only moving while you have it pressed, shouldnt be like that
full fog
oh
supple dome
organize a bit your code its getting confusing :p
full fog
well, i am organizing all day like on the yellow BP part but this here was trial and error for the last two days
shut hinge
I'm firing it from the widget because i can't fire it from the rex BP because its a child of a parent.
and if I fire it from Rex's BP then all the players fire it.
problen, can only link the scene component forward vector, the other forward vector pin won't link up.
full fog
@supple dome Is it a function like this that i would need to use?
I am totally sorry, i just worked with pressed and released events before
supple dome
no your code was fine, i just think your tick was plugged on that branch+DoOnceNode, meaning it wouldnt interp every tick
im assuming what you have down there is a tick
full fog
yeah I kinda had to do a do once because ..the camera moved already.. but just on pressed, not on its own and did not stopped
maybe the new rinterp will stop that but i was just happy that "anything" worked there
ok now its moving to this point - but yeah, just when pressed
But initally its doing what it should do.. just need to figure out that it should do it on clicked(?) and not need to press it and wait
shut hinge
why is that moving so fast

Hey guys)I have a question
How best to store an item in inventory? The item changes its properties over time. It would be possible to describe by means of structure, but I cannot describe all subjects by one structure.
It can be done so that after I pick up the object, make it invisible on stage and in the inventory there will be only a link to it. But I think it's a bad idea....
So I want to ask you for advice. If you know how to help me, then use @ and my nickname, please. So I can see your message =)
Thank you in advance for your help ^^
verbal canopy
I'd create a float variable a set it to GetTimeSeconds when you start hitting the tank. Then just check if more than 5 seconds has passed since that time
as long as you keep filling it, obviously
if GetTimeSeconds > YourSavedTime + 5, hurray

That's what they were giving you

@trim matrix Create a function. In it, cycle through all the elements. If at least one element is false, then the function will return false. In this case, if the function returns true, then all elements will be true

@mortal wharf i mean you pretty much gave yourself the answer
within the animbp event graph yes
trim matrix
@trim matrix@remote meteor You need to compare one element with all the others, ie you will have two cycles and one will be nested in another
In principle, this algorithm will fit any array whose elements need to be checked for equality

For the possession is being done from the Level BP's works ok for all my party member meshes but the commander is a player start capsule and I can't spawn him from the level BP !
And if I do put his mesh into the Map, and possess from Level BP then there are two copies of him because of the player Start causing problems.

That didn't work i will say this as i said before i have got a sit and a stand anim i have a timer from 10 - 15 seconds to switch to stand from sit and when my character is in stand start the 10 second countdown if character is not in stand do not do countdown but for me to make him sit again when he is in stand is to simply go up to him and then he will sit again.
He didn't want to sit again he just glitched out.
hexed coral
yeah nothing shows up in UMG but it does appear in the actual blueprint. I'll just daisy chain some nodes until it works. Thanks @tight cobalt
tight cobalt
@hexed coral Np.

it will be better

LOL
full 2 row length sentence without any punctuation i cant comprehend
mortal wharf
Everything goes right apart from this one thing: When i go up to him to try and sit him down he tries to sit down but he can't so he just stands up again. This was not a problem before this.
tight cobalt
@mortal wharf maybe hes tired of sitting? 🙂
mortal wharf
😕
tight cobalt

Anim states can be painful. You should relax for the rest of the day, and try again tomorrow. Happened to me more than once. Been trying to figure them for hours with no luck, then another day fix in no time.
remote meteor
for what i understand
he can only sit for 10 sec
then he will stand
after standing up
10 seconds later if hes still standing
then trigger the camera thing
shut hinge
how do I get another character to detect the trigger when I have switched over to that pawn?
remote meteor
wouldnt you want the trigger to detect the character instead?
mortal wharf
He starts off in sit and i have a random float set up between 10 - 15 seconds and in between there he should stand up and i can go up to him and make him sit again but after this it didn't work anymore. And if i for example forget about the character and let the timer tick down change the camera.
shut hinge
the trigger (box collision) works fine for the commander, but soon as I switch over to another player character and posess them, I can't get the on overlap component to detect that player.
shut hinge
So only my Commander pawn can trigger the dialog but not my other party membrs I possess
mortal wharf
???
remote meteor
i can go up to him and make him sit again
you make it sounds like you have more things
this variable
shut hinge
what I'm trying to do is complex as I have 10 party members in my game.
mortal wharf
Yeah what about that?
remote meteor
i can go up to him and make him sit again
you do this by setting theSitvariable totrueisnt it
mortal wharf
How do i do that?
shut hinge
well its hard to set up the game for 10 party members. To get the dialog triggers to work for them. At the moment they only work for the commander.
mortal wharf
https://gyazo.com/46ff00cd16df52a4073190e412b7106b This is in the Player BP
shut hinge
as long as I don't switch party members, dialog system will work, but if I switch, it will cease to work and when I swtich back to the commander, it stops working, that's because I got an annoing second copy of the commander spaawning in. I did delete the player start instance but it keeps spawning in.
remote meteor
and where is the Should Sit used within the abp?
shut hinge
how do I get another pawn to detect the dialog trigger, I'm now using print strings to try to get detection, tried actor of class, tried == object, but its not working.
How do I do it when possessing another pawn to get that pawn to then use the same trigger?
remote meteor
im mean it should not be aproblem for an actor being unpossessed and go through the trigger
mortal wharf
I might just use delay's instead.
remote meteor
its more about how the trigger collision is overlapping to your corresponding actor
shut hinge
I put my commander through the trigger, the dialog shows. I them Posesss Rex and take him through the trigger, nothing happens, no print strings showing. So Im not sure if the nodes I have wired in the on overlap are correct or not, its trial and error.
remote meteor
first
make sure the overlap happens first
that it triggered the on begin overlapped event
shut hinge
Because in Dialog Master BP, for the Commander on On Overlap, I have him connected to the Cast and Object to Other Actor...
But for Rex, I don't know how to wire hin up so On Overlap detects him coming in.
shut hinge
Now his Cast is to his own BP, but if I cast to his BP, then how can I cast to Rex's BP when he comes in? I
I think its set up so he can use it. And it was done this way to stop all the other pawns from firing everything off.
remote meteor
oh well
on casting there is a cast failed exec node
you can cast to rex on a second try but i dont really recommend doing this
shut hinge
So I'm casting to the Child BP of the commander. Not the Parent.
maybe I need to solve this other problem first.
Here's the problem. I have an instance of my commander in the map. But another copy of him spawns when starting the game.
I don't know where its coming from.
Now in level BP in order to posess him. his instance has to be in the map level.
BUT, the copy that spawns in is the only copy that works with the dialog trigger. I can't figure this out. The Instance of him that's in the map won't work with the trigger IF I switch to another party member then switch back to him.
A bit stumped..
remote meteor
uh
did you happen to manually spawn a commander?
and have commander set to being the default pawn of the game mode?
for trigger, and fast, you can do this but i suggest find another way to determine if the overlapped actor can use the dialog or not. Either an Interface, or an Actor Component, so you can use it to identify whos able to trigger stuff.
shut hinge
I did get rid of the Player Start Instance.
But somewhere the game is spawning in a player start instance, even though I deleted this one from the map.
I tried setting player spawn to 0 under ai properties to force it to spawn me in the one copy of the commander to get rid of the second copy. But that copy that is in the map that's hooked up to the possess node won't work with the dialog.
shut hinge
Is player character BP an actor component.
remote meteor
its an actor
an actor component is an plug that goes into an actor, and the actor shall have the component's functionality
shut hinge
why do you need the bind event to the trigger box?
shut hinge
my Dialog master BP is an actor Blue print (ts not in the level blueprint.).
remote meteor
its the same 
remote meteor
you do this on your dialog master?
shut hinge
this is what i have going on at the moment. for the commander.
remote meteor
CH_Player is commander?
tight cobalt
I need some help with flying pawn doesn't collide with anything in level. All collisions are set properly, it register overlap events...but collisions dont work..plane flies through objects.
shut hinge
Yes, CH_player is the Child BP of the Commander Pawn.
Speed Freak, just put a Collision sphere around your pawn. Surely that will stop a wall.
remote meteor
@tight cobalt the root component needs to be a collision for character movement to register collisions
also you need to block
not overlap
for stuff that you dont want to pass through
tight cobalt
I thought there is some glitch in detection, so i tried trigger box.
All working fine
Except collisions..
It flies through the mountain
Gonna try suggestions now
remote meteor
does the mountain has collision
and your flying pawn's collision needs to block the object type of the mountain
remote meteor
how do you move it?
shut hinge
there's no colllision sphere
shut hinge
No player capsule either.
remote meteor
Plane mesh can be the collision
but usually you want a capsule to be the collision
shut hinge
if it has a collision when imported.
remote meteor
unless you are doing precise collision thing
thin rapids
without a movement component
@remote meteor speed_freak has a rotating movement component tho
shut hinge
ok so now i need to get that dialog system to detect other pawns.
tight cobalt
Movement is regulated by forward speed var
Also there is a boost in speed key, whish is not important atm
thin rapids
you dont move by rotating
@remote meteor but unless its a floating pawn movement there aren't many other options for movement components (for pawn classes)
remote meteor
i see you manually code the input movement
shut hinge
well at least the flycam works. Just got to get the dialog to work for my pawns.
remote meteor
why dont you use a movement component?
astral fiber
I have an actor which has a spline in it to generate a mesh along it.
I created a new actor with the spline actor as child actor. If I now add spline points to the main actor in the editor the spline actor construct still tells me there are only 2 (2 are default) spline points. Any ideas why?
shut hinge
Don't delete splines in construction scripts.
tight cobalt
This is the collision under plane mesh
I tied block dynamic too
Checked my mountain collisions,..under player collision view. they all seem to be fine
Tried box and simple plane,,still no collision
remote meteor
try adding a sphere collision as the root component
tight cobalt
Will do now
remote meteor
and have it set to the same profile
your mesh doesnt have a collision built in, also it depends if you use simple or complex collision as simple
tight cobalt
your mesh doesnt have a collision built in, also it depends if you use simple or complex collision as simple
@remote meteor Hmm actually I didnt import collision. The auto generated had some holles in it so i deleted it and i thinkI actually use complex as simple atm
remote meteor
well
using complex as simple, and the engine actually renders the object twice, one for mesh, one for collision
so if you dont need that super accurate collision
just use a sphere collision as the root component and have the static mesh set to no collision
tight cobalt
Dont need anything acurate..just want to respown plane if it reaches the level boundries thats all
But invisible wall didnt work neither
So I am pretty positive problem is in bp of the plane
shut hinge
Add Component Sphere Collision. Set it around Plane, then Attach to mesh.
remote meteor
but then
mind if i ask whats the reason to code movement input yourself rather than using a movement component with flying mode?
there's even Floating Pawn Movement Component
shut hinge
i got my movement set to walking in the dialog system for testing it.
My dialog dosen't have camera switching yet.

So everything goes as planned now apart from one major issue. https://gyazo.com/b7db2a018ec4333e2c3c939533a8e6b7 This is my blueprint and as i said everything goes good apart from that if i enable my IsStand Variable it will do this: It doesn't detect if the character is sitting or not for example: if i make my character sit again after standing the delay is still ticking and then changes camera when character is in sitting form. But if i disable it he won't attack me at all please help.
tight cobalt
@remote meteor It was new thing to me, it was my first time to try flying. Honestly didnt know what i was doing, jsut wanted to make plane flying as my initial idea was to just use it for the camera sequence where player need to jump out of the plane. I needed speed to be instant as the plane starts in the skies.
Attaching sphere didnt work..Made it root too, it just messed up the proportions and spring arm.
Weird..
shut hinge
Well I never heard of a mesh that dosen't accept collision spheres.
tight cobalt
Plane mesh is root..and it should be working.
Also i checked plane mesh has valid collsions

are you talking to me? @remote meteor
