Is there a way to open unreal engine 5 project in unreal engine 4?

after lots of patching

whole abyss Jul 19, 2022, 4:46 PM

is there any character controller that allows also doing crawling movement?

#

i tried in the past but the default character controller doesn't allow that

#

the hard part is when crawling you aren't an upright pillshape. You're flat on the ground

i really wonder how they did it in mgs 5 or any similar game for that matter https://youtu.be/vTCr6xTN69Q?t=118

velvet river I was wondering why you emphasized *starting* in ue5 over moving into it

For all projects that were started in UE4, I recommend sticking to that, especially if its a big project, it has nothing to do with the difficulty of these versions, they are very similar, but mostly when upgrading, many things have changed internally, which breaks much stuff, that you only notice later on.

radiant haven Jul 19, 2022, 4:56 PM

#

whole abyss i really wonder how they did it in mgs 5 or any similar game for that matter htt...

im mgs5 its not the pill that has the collision its a custom collision mesh specifically for hte player that moves with the animations. You should use the crouch-option and just make the pill smaller until body-height when proned

#

Thats also why in most games when on the ground, some parts (Legs, head etc.) noclip through walls

whole abyss Jul 19, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

well yeah, but i'd like to avoid nocliping through walls of course

#

doing the pill method, half the body would be able to go into walls

radiant haven Jul 19, 2022, 4:57 PM

#

You can also increase the radius

whole abyss Jul 19, 2022, 4:58 PM

#

that's true, though then it would take too much space on the side

radiant haven Jul 19, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

How do you think this is done. It cant, look at Rainbow six, on crouch when trying to noclip your legs into the wall, they switch sites. There is a reason why most Players have a non changeable Pill Collider

whole abyss Jul 19, 2022, 4:59 PM

#

i've heard of animation based movement/collission before, i think it has a specific name, might be worth looking into

i'm really not sure, but probably not possible with the basic character controller in unreal

radiant haven Jul 19, 2022, 5:00 PM

#

For sure, but I wouldnt recommend going into that direction. Dont lock / limit the users viewing space, make you char adapt to the viewers space.

whole abyss Jul 19, 2022, 5:01 PM

#

If i can make my own character controller, i could just have a different kind of collission shape, when crawling

#

but it would also mean i would have to code most of the other collissions and movement myself

radiant haven Jul 19, 2022, 5:02 PM

#

I dont recommend it, but go for it, you will see the problems

whole abyss Jul 19, 2022, 5:02 PM

Hi, Guys. got a question. I have two animal character that are fighting with each other so what's happening is that when they attack each other both of them move apart and are like attacking thin air (when root motion is enabled) when I disable it they overlap each other as intended but when the montage ends they are overlapping each other and facing in the same direction so when they have to attack again I have to move the character I am controlling so the ai character attacks properly or I can attack properly.

Hi, Does anyone know how to exclude InstancedFoliage from the light baking process?

I have such chunk of code and it produces such errors:

In use pin  <Unnamed>  no longer exists on node  ClientTravel . Please refresh node or break links to remove pin

In use pin  PlayerController  no longer exists on node  ClientTravel . Please refresh node or break links to remove pin

Could not find a function named "ClientTravel" in 'ThirdPersonCharacter'

Why? ClientTravel is a static function from my BlueprintFunctionLibrary

#

It shows only mine

#

nope, I always close unreal before building

Ok, what I've noticed is that every function in my blueprint function library is getting this bug

I am using the localization dashboard.

I have all the English text and dialogue files generated. The dialogues have a dialogue voice DV_Male or DV_Female. The text has been translated across the project. We have Indonesian at 84%. I sent the exported script out to be translated and have come back wanting the speaker role to be more specific.

I created a new voice called DV_Female_Joanne. I assigned it to one dialogue wave, changed it on the cue so it matches, and exported the script again.

In English, the audio file has the dialogue wave set correctly (DV_Female_Joanne) however, the Indonesian script is missing that audio file now that the dialogue has changed.

TL;DR; I changed the dialogue voice on a dialogue wave and now it isn’t showing on the indonesian script.

Can anyone help out or have an idea on what is going on?

Working on an inventory system and have a question. Is it better to use a line trace to interact with items or would a collision box/overlap event be better?

Sphere Trace++

#

traces are better for single interaction

#

If you need to highlight an object, I would choose Sphere collision

Hello! Is there a way to dynamically set the "Consume Input" value of an input keyboard event (via blueprints)?

spice ruin Jul 21, 2022, 7:00 PM

#

I would use sphere trace because it's fast and you can set a "radius" rather than a "cube in front of you" to interact with.

#

And it becomes very easy to then filter that to a cone in front of you, instead of having a inconsistent feeliing "box"

As far as I know, the collision will interact directly with the physics engine and it will be cheaper

#

But if it’s more convenient with a trace, then you can also use a trace

#

Unless you're doing 1000 traces per tick, the speed difference will be negible.

1000? pffft chicken feed

I once launched Unreal on an almost bare stage with 500 fps

And caught serious physics bugs

I read that the child actor component is inefficient. Is it a bad idea to use alot of these if i was thinking to do so?

#

I see

#

Guess ill have to think of something else. Im trying to figure out how to navigate up and down the chain of parent and child so i can reference specific actors

#

Quick question (and sorry for interrupting) can someone explain to me why compiling in the editor is dangerous (if it is)?

#

Ah thank you!

#

lol there's no way someone got that domain just for that

velvet river Jul 21, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

Cause right now im attaching a body to a "core" and then attaching parts to a body because the body has all the sockets, and thats making a body thats a child to the core but then a barrel and a grip that are children of the body, and id rather them all be on an equal level of child if that makes sense?

gloomy gull Jul 21, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

👍

velvet river Jul 21, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

Ill post a screenshot one sec

#

cause these parts have their own sets of functions and i thought making a little web of communication between pieces would be easier if all these parts were like, equally "actors"

#

this is what the current randomly generated gun looks like in the world outliner when spawned

#

can they have skeletal meshes?

#

I see

#

But what if i want to do more dynamic attachment that everything stuck to a central body?

#

Like sticking a bayonet on the barrel end?

#

I suppose since its a skeletal mesh, that can have sockets too

#

Oh im not using any child actors rn :o

#

Its all actors being spawned and attached

#

I see

#

Yeah

#

Whats the big difference between an actor and an actor component?

#

Right

#

I see

#

So in terms of potential functionality the only difference is whether or not its meant to be a part of something else and not exist on its own

#

Hmm

plush yew Jul 21, 2022, 8:20 PM

#

How can I

velvet river Jul 21, 2022, 8:25 PM

#

Ok so, I made the guncore blueprint so that i could handle managing the gun composition upon spawning in a kind of center. How bad would it be if every gun body blueprint had the code for managing its composition instead? My intention was to separate the body from the management of the full entity so that its not having any responsibilities that are ig out of character for a gun part, which i only want to be doing what its suppose to do for the weapon?

#

I dont know if this text description is enough to go off of, but i appreciate the help youve given me

#

This is hard pfft T_T

velvet river Jul 21, 2022, 8:49 PM

#

Ok what if i just want to attach an actor to a "core" but using a socket from a previously attached actor? Like attach everything to the same central actor but using locations from other children?

#

I think thats my real problem here

#

Alright ill take some time to do this using the actor component route

#

Ill see how that feels

velvet river Jul 21, 2022, 9:15 PM

#

can i add actor components randomly from an array of them? im not seeing that option as easily as im seeing the "spawn actor" node

#

i can attach these custom components manually but im looking to randomly access them from an array

azure vault Jul 21, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

I have an odd request but could someone go into a blueprint and make two UTC Now nodes and connect them to a subtract node and then copy/paste the code here? I don't have UE4 installed atm and I have been told you may be able to copy/paste from UE4 to UE5 as a workaround (since it's bugged in UE5). edit: nevermind, turns out you can add another pin and it will be of the right type and then you can delete the buggy pin, sorry to bother. edit: eh it wont compile, meh whatever

velvet river Jul 21, 2022, 9:35 PM

#

So even though there is a variable option for creating arrays of 'actor components' class references i make the array of 'actor' class references to pull from?

#

Sorry for the difficulties :\

Why not doing it in the main viewport, instead of the preview viewport?

So you want to use it for compositing in After Effect? It would be best to have completely black background and have the element additive in AE
