ue4-general

[static viper]

source file

it has a path attached

show me that path please

[wooden apex]

ue4 or

[static viper]

of ue4

[wooden apex]

where is that

im so dumb sorry

[static viper]

well you already got the mesh viewer open

now on the right side

where the mesh details are

youll find a category called import

there you can scroll down after you pressed it to open

youll find source file with a path

make that window very large by dragging it to the side

[static viper]

anime-classroom is the source

now we can find where it came from

https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/anime-classroom-1375eb36d7b640bfad315e76053d63c6

is this your asset?

[wooden apex]

okay i think i found where is the rpoblem

the folder /desktop/anime... is in /desktop/(game name)/anime..

im so dumb

thank you

but

[static viper]

🙂

[wooden apex]

wait still cos it can not work somehow

[static viper]

well do you still have the source fbx file?

you can download blender 3d

and look at the fbx in there

to see if the assets are ok

[wooden apex]

i can serach for it

found it

[static viper]

find the pens and pecils

and check them out in blender 3d

[wooden apex]

ok leme unrar them

i opened it with another program

here

LOL okay i found the problem

i moved the models into a different folder and ue was angry

[amber shuttle]

when placing meshes into a room it places it somewhere beneath it like the room doesnt have collision but it does

why could it be

its pretty annoying

[wooden apex]

👀

[static viper]

make sure to fix it

[wooden apex]

gona remember that

[wooden apex]

still cant launch

[grand jetty]

Hi guys, is there any tutorial on how to mod a UE4 game ?

Specifically for the music

I see

[drowsy snow]

If the game has official mod kit, then you're in luck.
Otherwise, reach out to respective underground modding forum of the game.

[grand jetty]

Tried to, unfortunately there isn't any forum for it. It was essentially to restore No More Heroes 3 ost but oh well, i'll try to find something myself.

I'll keep being there tho cause i want to make some games on UE

👍

[median ferry]

Hi all, is it possible to use a live link to a similar mocap in a build or on a dedicated server? Maybe other plugins are designed for this? Please help those who know.

heres the error

[wooden apex]

well can i get some help please

ive been stuck with this for a week now

[grim ore]

does it do that on a new project? say just the third person template

[wooden apex]

Okay i mostly know whats happening

Swarm coordinator cant run

[wooden apex]

And this error is only for this project

The "launch " function works on other projects

[grim ore]

well swarm is for lighting, not shader compilation

[wooden apex]

Yea but i cant do lighting on the whole engine

Like

Every new project i cant do lighting

[grim ore]

and launch normally isnt used except for special cases, what are you launching for?

[wooden apex]

Checking if everything is working as i donr want to package the game as it takes too much time for me

[grim ore]

you would use play on pc, not launch

launch will give problems on PC if you dont know what you are doing, its meant for other devices

[wooden apex]

Huh hmm

Well its weird cos it worked before

It was perfectly fine before it but thanks for letting me know but is it possible to stil somehow launch ut?

[grim ore]

it might be but I can't say. your not supposed to use launch for playing on PC, it says so in the docs. I have never used or needed to use Launch for a non external device

[wooden apex]

Hm

Cos sometimes i need to launch it to confirm how my code works as PLAY works a little differently than LAUNCH

[latent sonnet]

Hey there! Does anyone know how I can randomly stream levels in different locations?

Pretty much how do I use this but spawn the level in a different location each time?

[grim ore]

look at the load level instance node

[latent sonnet]

Looking into it! Thank you!

[spring abyss]

I'm sorry I couldn't understand , Can you explain it ?, in ue4 we just have to replicate and add sessions for multiplayer? But How To Add Solo , Duo , Squad thing?

[latent sonnet]

I couldn't really find much on how to use it but this is what I attempted. It does not work.

How should I go about this?

[zealous ginkgo]

how do i get rid of this error i get for not deleting things properly

[grim ore]

which print string do you get? what does "not work" give you?

[latent sonnet]

Nvm looks like it did work I just had the wrong player character 👍

Is there anyway to unload the levels on a collision?

[grim ore]

look at Set Is Requesting Unload and Removal, you can feed it the output from your Load Level Instance (save it after using it)

you could also set the Should Be Loaded variable but it wont remove it

lots of variables and functions you can use from that return value after loading 🙂

[toxic merlin]

Hi,everyone

My problem:
There are 2 attack sections in my AnimMontage

And I use a integer called AttackAnimCount with Random Integer in Range

to select my sections

But the numbers in the Client and Server are different.

I don't know how to solve this problem.
How can i set this integer to be the same for both client, and server side?

Sorry about my bad English because I come from Taiwan.

[coarse jetty]

check for events that "replicates"

in the details panel

[toxic merlin]

And what is the next step~

[regal mulch]

Instead of using a normal RandomInteger, you can use a RandomInteger from a Stream. The only thing you need to ensure is synced between Server and Client upfront is the Seed for the RandomStream.

If both request a RandomInteger with the same Seed, it should produce the same Random Value (if the Min and Max are the same of course).

It would de-sync if one requests a value more than the other

So resetting the Stream every now and then might make sense

[coarse jetty]

i guess is taking care of how to you treat the logic and the info, and maybe migrate info to an API and use the VaRest plugin

[regal mulch]

What does that have to do with Random Ints being different on server and client

There is no need for an external API and VaRest o.o

[toxic merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRZkmDbGb3o

This one?

[regal mulch]

Yes

As long as Server and Client have the same Seed, they will produce the same Random Values

[toxic merlin]

Oh thx!!

[regal mulch]

I would advice to setting a new Seed or at least setting the Stream from the same Seed every once in a while, in case the Client or Server skipped producing a value.

[toxic merlin]

I will try it.
I will ask you again if something is complicated.

Thank you so much

[coarse jetty]

hi is there any channel to talk and ask about ue4-cmd and unreal docker and related stuff?

[lusty carbon]

LogLightmassSolver: Warning: Error, AddTask failed with error code -13

anyone familiar with this lightmass fail problem?

[regal mulch]

Maybe some of the devops channels?

[tawdry eagle]

hey the node "apply physical animation settings" doesnt appear to work, whatever values i set it gives the same result, anyone knows whats going on?

[thin tendon]

Anyone else get issues with bridge dropping its installation and export settings when updating?

[normal breach]

hey y'all, struggling a bit with localization here. I have set this bp to change the current culture when the new option is picked and the behaviour is quite puzzling:

• return value is always true
• the save to config works
• when switching from it to en (default value, incidentally) language does change instantly in all UI
• when switching fron en to it language doesn't instantly change, but will be loaded correctly when restarting the game
  What's going on here? How do I force the UI to reload also when switching from en to other cultures?

[thin tendon]

I'm not sure about your set up. But all I had to do to get mine to work was this.

[normal breach]

mmmm maybe I'm just missing the part after the first -

[thin tendon]

it could be something to do with setting the culture. Mine sets the language and locale instead

[normal breach]

lol finally figured it out seems: the in game UI is switching my editor settings

wtf

[thin tendon]

yeah that sounds familiar now lol

[normal breach]

so I guess I just need to build the game and test language switching in the build... but man, that's WILD

[thin tendon]

From memory there were two different methods of doing this. Setting the culture and the way in my picture. The way in the picture was the only method I could find that allowed me to switch languages without changing the editor.

[wooden apex]

okay

heres a really cool thing

i broke the whole ue4

not even doing a reinstall fixes it

i cant launch i cant build lighting cos swarm cant connect to ITSELF SOMEHOW

and i cant do s**t

if you somehow help illbe very gratefull as im trying to fix this for a very long time

heres whats happening when i try to launch a game not even talking about packaging as i cant do that too

[robust marten]

Can someone verify an engine bug for me? I'm trying to play an Animation Montage but I believe there is a bug where if the anim montage to play is a variable, it does not play. It plays if I set the montage inside the node, but does NOT play if the montage is a variable when connected.

It does. I even promoted the "Montage To Play" to a variable to get that.

[spice ruin]

Add a breakpoint to the montage play node and check the value of the variable at that point.

[robust marten]

I can't break it

[spice ruin]

Print string?

Add in a switch which statically checks the value of the variable with what you think it should be?

Plenty of ways to do things.

[robust marten]

Yes, it prints the correct montage. Trust me, I've already troubleshooted with prints just a few minutes ago, that's why I think its an engine bug lol

[spice ruin]

There is one thing, and I don't know if this is because of name formatting, but it does say "ReloadAnimMontage" on your variable and then "Reload Anim Montage" in the graph. I assume this is just because it's added spaces automatically... but you don't have 2 variables, right?

Major straw grasping there.

[robust marten]

Nope, I changed the name of the variable(By default, promoting it names it "Montage To Play") but if you look in the screenshot above I posted it's the same Anim Montage to play. But yes, the graph adds the spaces when you put caps in

[echo crater]

How can I get a widget button to be transparent but still have an outline?

For example:

I've gotten transparency by [Draw As -> None] or setting alpha to 0

[spice ruin]

Use an image with an alpha layer?

[echo crater]

Is there an image built into the engine I can use or would I have to make my own

[spice ruin]

Put the outline in the image?

(make your own, takes 5s with gimp or whatever)

[echo crater]

I'll try it, thanks

[spice ruin]

If you want a dynamically sized button/outline, you could use the Border widget.

[echo crater]

I tried that but it wouldn't let my assign it as a child to the button for some reason

[spice ruin]

Make the button a child of the border?

[echo crater]

ooooh

makes sense

[spice ruin]

A button only has a single child slot, so you'd have to add something that has more than 1 child slot (like a size box or overlay) to the button and then add multiple children to that.

You could add the border to the button that way

(I'm assuming you already had hte text added and it wouldn't let you add the border as well)

Also, #umg

[pallid olive]

hi question about widget

how can i set the Zorder of a new created wighet and the coordination

[fierce tulip]

too late.

[desert dawn]

oh Sorry for it

but after how many time I can reask my question? because the ue5 chat is going really fast so questions always past much to top

[echo crater]

Is there a way for an actor to begin play with a component already deactivated?
Or should I be taking a different approach?

Basically I have a 2 part explosion
A particle effect occurs, then I have a sphere that appears (blocks bullets and bounds used as reference for radial damage range)
I'd like the sphere to begin disabled, instead of just disabling it on begin play

[sharp willow]

Actor Components have an Auto Activate boolean on them.

This is true by default

[echo crater]

Thanks, that's just what I needed
Don't know how I missed it

[robust lintel]

Is it possible for a level blueprint to change a variable in another level blueprint?

[autumn flame]

Why would you want that

[robust lintel]

I have a level Menu with save file slots. If player clicks save slot 1, i would like the level Menu to send this value to the main gameplay level, which saves and loads from this save slot. I see it useless to save it in the player as the main gameplay level is the only blueprint using it.

[autumn flame]

No

[grim ore]

@robust lintelthe game instance is used to allow data to pass from one level to another when not streaming, you can also pass a parameter to an open level and read that parameter on the new level if you want. https://youtu.be/XRbpiF4xvW8

[robust lintel]

thats exactly what i needed! Thanks!

[spice ruin]

If it's super simple data you can also pass it to the level uri, but that's old tech 😛

[forest knoll]

If i download ue4 is the 2d template still there?
And also is unreal engine good for making 2d games?

[robust lintel]

Im pretty sure i saw the 2d template there. Also, from my experience, UE is better than Unity, becouse i understood Blueprint WAY faster than C#. But ive been using UE for only 2 months, so...

[forest knoll]

yes but is the 2d of unreal good?

ik its good at 3d

but how about 2d

[robust lintel]

Sorry, i JUST understood what you're asking. I actually don't know... i looked online and multiple sourses say that for 2d Unity is better.

[forest knoll]

ah alr

[robust lintel]

Also, i saw a lot of tutorials for BP and the people had the game running in aseperate window. How do i set that?

[oak patio]

There is a drop down on play where you can set different modes

[oak patio]

Yeah unreal ain't the best for 2D. Personally not a fan of it, although apparently paperZD plugin makes it more bearable

[echo crater]

I've been learning about gameplay tags and I understand the basics of how they work, but I'm a little confused as to the cases when you'd want to use them over other means
For example - checking class types, enums, or using interfaces

Could someone maybe help clarify this with an example?

[lucid flint]

Im having some issues with UI not displaying in my build, anyone know what might be going wrong?

[wooden apex]

hey hey how can i get a variable of how long is the sound file ?

like i have a loading screen and i want to play a sound but i want to aoutmatically get the duration of the music file and set of how long something needs to wait

something like this but i dont want to have 14 variables

is there a way?

like you know i have a flac file and want to get its duration

[drowsy snow]

For example, in an RPG, you would use it to have an enemy respond to certain attack type the player gives (e.g. immune to fire, weak to poison, halved physical damage)

Or also in RPG, you would have a player affected by certain status/ailment

It's much more manageable than having a bunch of bools and losing track of them

[drowsy snow]

I'm afraid I can't make sense of loading screen with your proposed setup.

[wooden apex]

i want to get the sound file duration somehow into a variable

so i can automatcally set of how long berfore it loads into another level

[drowsy snow]

This sounds like XY Problem, no pun intended

[wooden apex]

okay so my problem is that i cant or rather i dont know how to get the sound files duration

this is the problem , i want the "Duration" to be automatically set by the sound file duration

[thin tendon]

This is how I get the duration of sound files in one of my BPs. I hope it helps.

[frigid crescent]

can someone help i cant delete the pins i pressed backspace and its not working for some reason

[thin tendon]

you tried delete instead of backspace?

[frigid crescent]

yh

[thin tendon]

weird delete works for me

[frigid crescent]

i think its because my keyboard is 60 percent i tried fn plus backspace but idk il look it up

[thin tendon]

A good example of how to use tags. In my project I tag all the ground objects with game-play tag "ground". So regardless of static mesh or landscape the rest of my code knows to treat it as a ground object.

For example. My ai spawners (not water based or for flying animals) should only spawn an entity when the trace hits a "ground" object.

[toxic lily]

question

trying to hook up a "hitbox" to an attack animation,

however the sphere trace is hitting every frame of the animation the notify is on, im trying to get it to "hit once, save to that array, and dont hit again until notify ends"

ive made an array to place all the hit items into but i figure i didnt set this up right, can anyone help?

i even have a clear array at the start to make sure its not registering anything before the hit happens

[thin tendon]

You are using an event notify on your animation. That tells your player to fire an event. (I'm guessing here. Probably for an unarmed attack). Then in that even you are using a sphere trace. So all you got to is stop it from firing more then once during the animation?

[toxic lily]

basically

heres the set up in the anim itself

[thin tendon]

Right so just gate the event with a variable. Call it something like hit once.

so the first line of code would be if hitonce is = true. Right after set to false. Run your code. Then on the animation. Create another notify that fires at the end of the animation. In that event just set hitonce back to true.

[toxic lily]

talking about using a gate node?

[thin tendon]

that works to. The idea is that the event can't fire until its told the animation is finished

[toxic lily]

okay, makes sense so far, how do i call the animation ending in the anim notify BP?

[thin tendon]

You could check for the animation manually. The way I would do it is just add an event notify at the end of your attack animation

[wooden heath]

unreal 4 dedicated server crash when using MeshMergeFunctionLibrary for the main character? when i try to connect locally to the server it crash cause of that

[pastel lagoon]

does anyone know why a static mesh that is invisible, which was used as a root node in a BP actor, would be offset from the origin? It's a material sphere which under normal circumstances the mesh is at the origin of the object
right after I parented to this sphere I started having tons of orientation issues. but as a root node, there is no location or rotation setting. Screencap of the origin where I have my object set to, and the actual root node is yellow

[cunning marlin]

So, my sudden struggle with UE4 continues. Sometimes the fbx works other times weighting it effeed up. BTW all looks OK in Blender and also in UE5.

Also, now my old scenes have started to show weird skin issues on fbx animation files.

With animted mesh breaking apart.

so truly weird. Those files have not changed, the engine is the same. What gives??

[young crag]

Hi

I have problem in BeginPlay() . Can someone give solution for this .??? Ue4 C++

[cunning marlin]

Can someone with a 4.27 installation, help me out please? If you can import a mesh and associated animation on your system to see if you also have similar issue or not, that help me out.

[spice ruin]

That isn't a problem.

[spring delta]

hi so me and my friend have a animation problem, he uses rigify on blender and the animation looks fine in blender but when i load it on Unreal Engine it like glitches the head or moving the eyes and such

like eyes pops out

[main vigil]

Bit of a random one, not sure if this is the appropriate place: did where the editor layout gets saved/stored change to be stored in appdata from the project Saved folder at some point?

[hidden dew]

I finally got this working.
The character runs perfectly over the terrain based on tracking tris. Works even with animated terrain/objects, and most importantly, doesn't use physics / linetraces.
Took way longer than I thought it would.
Very low quality, sorry.

In that clip the physics is still actually turned on, hurting performance. It's just the camera's Spring Arm using it. Haven't thought of a solution for that yet with animated terrain.

(Apart from just letting the camera go underground)

[amber shuttle]

Building geometry and building navigation doesnt really fix everything, i have to delete the mesh and place it again then its ok

like here

i can fix it by delete and reapply

but id have to do this many times

maybe im missing something and it can be fixed easely on all instances?

because its clearly a bug

[wooden apex]

thankss <3

[honest vale]

change your navmesh settings

looks like the pawn radius is simply too big for the doorway

or the voxelization somehow misses it, you can change the generation voxel size too

make it smaller so that the build process is done at a higher resolution

[fierce tulip]

@buoyant scaffold if you have a problem with a user, tell a moderator. changing your name to annoy them is not the way.

[sharp stirrup]

Hi guys !

we have something like problem we dont have any idea anyone can help us?? please there is such a problem when we import the video as unreal.Which codec can we use?

[sharp willow]

Please don't post in multiple channels at the same time

[fierce tulip]

move one of the things thats z-fighting up a unit

[brisk drum]

Well, that's like 90% of things and the meshes aren't the best. Was hoping for an easier method 😆

[static viper]

why are you importing cod maps into unreal again?

XD

[marble iris]

Why not

[static viper]

i want him to answer

i looked at this tool

and you are decrypting assets from the games

while its running

thats called datamining

or ripping

[marble iris]

Let's see what Activision has to say about that:

[rain badger]

If I'm creating a currency/points system, where would be the best place to have that set up? I want to say in the player controller

[drowsy snow]

I'd say GameInstance.

GameInstance persists through level load, and you can clear them on demand. Think of it more as your game's memory.

[rain badger]

What about if there is local multiplayer?

I was thinking per player. So maybe player state might be best. But is it persistent across levels? I guess if it's not, I can send that info to the GameInstance from there maybe?

I'm not too certain of how game states and player states work

[drowsy snow]

Alternatively you could have Game Instance store the moolah for up to 4 players.

(at least AFAIK 4 players are the max local split screen limit)

[rain badger]

That sounds ideal. I think I'm only going to be working with up to 2. I've already got it set up in the Game Instance. But that's just for 1 player.
I don't know how to go about really setting up for split screen stuff. I've got some stuff set up. But I haven't tested too much of it yet. But from the Game Instance, would it just be getting/setting from the owning player based on the controller index? (if that makes sense)

Or... actually, I don't know lol. Currently, my Game Instance just holds a variable for the currency lol

So here's what I'm thinking:
Whenever I gain currency, it will get the PlayerState and update a variable there and then before changing levels, it will send that value to the Game Instance to a variable there.
But it will need to be assigned to that specific player.

[spice ruin]

Is this for single player?

[drowsy snow]

Local MP he said

I don't think he mention listen server

[spice ruin]

Ah.

If you want to keep things like that cross map changes, you can copy them from PS to PS on map change.

[drowsy snow]

Personally I might as well cut the middlemen entirely

[spice ruin]

Or just always store them on the GI. Why copy them to/from every time? Seems a waste.

[drowsy snow]

And all players will use the same game process, and in turn the same game instance

[spice ruin]

If you want to store it between maps for local players, you should just literally have an array on the GI, TArray<int32> PlayerMoney. Index of the array is the player index.

Don't need anything fancy.

[magic helm]

If a material appears different packaged than in the editor, why would that be?

[grim ore]

the packaged product is using a different scalability level, or a different platform, or renderer?

or it could be something else if you are using post processing for example and that works differently

[magic helm]

Yeah it sounds like it could be something to do with that. I believe it's a default material in UE4 'LaserPointerMaterial' and it says 'Make sure ES2 DDC data will generate (not used)'. I've tried to find out more information about this but I can't seem to find any.

[blazing valley]

would i be able to scale up and down stuff?

un ue4 or 5

[crude pagoda]

Good afternoon all,
I was hoping for a bit of advice on how to fix an issue with a school project I am working on. We are working on making a 2D platformer but making everything in 3D (not using paper2D) and I am having trouble getting the player and the NPC only looking left or right on axis. For some reason I can't seem to find the correct search terms to find a solution but I am sure there has to be a simple fix. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[grim ore]

there is a side scrolling 2d template you could try and looking at, locking the axis would prevent the player from moving other than left or right.

[crude pagoda]

I just got it to work by going into the character movement rotation setting and changing the value to -1 on the Z axis. its an instant turn, its ugly but it works.

[zinc topaz]

Put generated.h include AFTER all other included headers

[rain badger]

For testing purposes, I am making it so that when I press a button in my character, it will increase my funds for that player but through a variable in the Game Instance. But I don't know how to actually get the information to change for the variable. If that makes sense.

[rain badger]

*As described here

[grim ore]

it doesnt really make sense, being honest here, because your describing how to do it

[rain badger]

So what I am trying to do was get the array from the Game Instance and set the value of the int array variable at the specified index from the character for example.
The problem is, I don't know how to set the values for the variable.
Is it the 'Set Array Elem' node? I just found that (don't know why I didn't find it before) But does that sound right?
And then just plug in the IntArray to TargetArray, plug in controllerID to Index, and the whatever I want to set there as the Item

[grim ore]

yes that sounds right https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/Blueprints/UserGuide/Arrays/ArrayNodes/

it also depends on how you GET the value from the array, if its by reference or a copy of the value. If you get the reference, you can set it directly

this for example prints this

Hi! these are my attack nodes and my teacher wants me to use a dot product to node to make my character be able to attack the enemy only if the character is facing towards the enemy but I don't know how to use dot product to can someone help me?

[ebon linden]

Does it make sense to use an input buffer for something that isn't a fighting game with a bunch of button combinations for attacks? I'll just be using it to remember inputs that were pressed and to perform those inputs after the current input action has finished. Would an input buffer be overkill?

For example, when the character dodges, it can't switch weapons until after the dodge has finished. If they switch weapons during the dodge, I want it to automatically trigger the weapon switch function after the dodge has finished.

[drowsy snow]

If it's a slow paced game, input buffer might not work well, but you can experiment with it

[ebon linden]

Do you know of any alternative ways I could achieve this?

The game isn't slow-paced but it's not particularly fast-paced either

[drowsy snow]

You can dismiss the inputs before current action is finished, at the cost of your game compared to Dark Souls.

[ebon linden]

Gotcha. If I were to go the route of input buffer, would every action input need to go through the buffer for it to work properly?

[drowsy snow]

Yes.

Hi everyone! If i wanna make a Boat animation in the water with ripple and splash, is it possible via sequencer? Or which method?

Thanks before!

[drowsy snow]

One way to do it is to actually script a gameplay with boats, and have all the buoyancy and particles handled while you're recording it with Take Recorder

[potent reef]

Thank you thats what i think too.

My intention is like this:

1. I create UMG widget
2. I press the button, triggering sequencer animation.
3. Ship moving with trails effect, and splash.. bouyancy no priority.

Is it easier just to create particles fx and move with the ship? So i dont need to record?

[drowsy snow]

Yes, but you'll have to figure out the buoyancy animation yourself.

[potent reef]

Alright thanks! Will try to make a driveable boat first. Do you have a recommendation for water system with cheap resources? (Waterline/oceanlogy) Or just water material? Need to playable with low pc spec.

[heady dirge]

If you care about tesselation of the water then a custom one or unreals default water system if not just make a material with two paning textures the oldest trick in the book

There are some plugins too but idk how they are performance wise

[potent reef]

Thank you! Will try. I need to make an infinite water/ocean, Is two paning textures method will do?

[heady dirge]

It should do

Hello, Im new, and was wondering which channel would be the best for me to ask and discuss recreating a blueprint from an extracted fmodel file. I've pretty much reassembled it, just need help figuring put the last part.

So I am using the "Add Child To Vertical Box" node in UMG. It works fine. However, All of the widgets added are stacked on top of each other. Am I missing Something? Ideally, I would like to have a list. (edited) If someone could point me to a video that covers this, It would be appreciated. Thanks.

[storm kayak]

It is an app that allows you to extract (to a certain extent) already baked assets from a pak file and view them, for example I am trying to recreate a data table.

It is not piracy, it is for moding purposes, and I am allowed to mod the game

The developers are perfectly fine and enjoy seeing mods

[spice ruin]

If they love mods, then there's probably a modding community. Might be better to ask there. This server isn't about supporting mods.

[storm kayak]

I'm not here to ask about mods xD

[spice ruin]

It is not piracy, it is for moding purposes, and I am allowed to mod the game

[storm kayak]

That was in response to them asking what fmodel is

not why I'm here

[spice ruin]

Well there's only 1 reason to try to extract models from baked assets... and that's to re-use them.

And that's not something that's allowed on this server.

And by re-use I mean steal.

[drowsy snow]

With ripped assets, you're on your own.

[fierce tulip]

yea, we don't facilitate modding here, you'll need to find a modding community for that specific game.

[storm kayak]

Ah, i'm not trying to take any models or anything, Just wanted to figure out how their data tables worked. But I understand that, sorry if I caused any issues, was just genuinly curious how they handed their tables.

[fierce tulip]

no worries, but sadly we cannot allow support for it.

Hello, i was just moving objects around the level and i got a crash with this crash log showed up, how do i fix this problem from occuring ? I just have Nvidia driver up to date and my current engine version is 4.26.2

[grim ore]

@sick patioif you mean about this? It's still sitting on my screen so.... that seems weird to ask before it's even scrolled off the screen

but to answer your actual question, you havent given us any actual info on what you have done so your question is more "my stuff isnt working, help!"

the A Pose means your anim bp isnt working (1 problem), the character not moving means your AI code is not working (2nd problem)

[sick patio]

oh ok, let me clarify. in following Ryan Lalley's basic AI tree tutorial, when he clicks add Anim BP to his animation mesh, it immediately goes into idle mode. I knew immediately mine was not working, but when I double click the actual anim BP it's fine, all of the animations work. And HOPING the animation just wasn't working in the Character AI viewport, finishing the tutorial, of course it did not move, according to the AI tree. Which then brings me back to the animBP not working. And I watched that section of the tutorial 10 times, (which was nothing but him putting animbp in the slot)

[grim ore]

run the project, open the anim bp, make sure its set to debug one of your AI's that is in the world, and look at what is happeniong

you should be able to see where its failing, the live wires will be stopped somewhere

if this is just the same animation BP as the player has, my guess is for some reason its doing a cast and failing against the original blueprint and now the new one you have it on now

[sick patio]

Thank you MathewW I appreciate it.

I believe some other content, I added to the project broke it. because when i pulled up an empty project and did it, it worked perfectly.

sighs

[grim ore]

oh yeah thats super weird

I know the new templates in UE5 have issues working with AI and the animation out of the box, but the 4 ones should have been fine.

[earnest cloak]

anyone have any clues what is causing the editor to crash ? i was just trying to create a new folder in the world outliner and the same crash happened again

[sick patio]

I believe it is the "basic driving pack"

[grim ore]

Nvidia crashes are normally timeout crashes, for example the editor takes too long to do something so the driver crashes since it thinks its stuck. theres a few random posts out there with ways to try and "fix" it

[spice ruin]

The main fix is to just increase the timeout, isn't it?

[grim ore]

or roll back to another supported driver

[jaunty zinc]

in my opinion it is pretty much game ready, but for newbies it'll be difficult to understand it (it's quite complex and doesn't work like the standard movement, camera, etc...) and also difficult to integrate new stuff to it.

It's nowhere near game ready, with some of the features prone to glitching out

Also it is brutally difficult to modify and expand upon, but you can learn and reverse engineer on how it is constructed

[sick patio]

hey Makoto, nice to see you.
I made an AI and when I pulled up ALS and put mine in there I saw they used very similar AI (maybe more advanced by 2 or 3 nodes than mine) I don't know if their's is better. I don't see what the extra nodes do differently. AI wanders around. #shrug
I do wish they would have left comments on stuff. I do see they left giant signs in the level though.

[delicate magnet]

how would i go about doing NOR for 4 options at once?

so the condition is true is if none of them are true

and if a single one is

then its false

nah

i want it so that

if Nthe variables are True

*if ANY of the variables are true

then it changes the condition

dw just seen that you can add pins to OR

[waxen raven]

That works too, but iirc both are true if all 4 are false anyway right? Been a bit on nor.

[delicate magnet]

works like this

QUESTION: so i know target (and I am trying to get a clue) but how would I make a "janitor" character + have dirt / people spill soda randomly spawn + janitor goes over to "clean it up"

[dark stirrup]

Set it up in the actor's tick component and parent him to the children trigger components, and I would advise that you make the components his children that way he can refer to them.

So you just have them check all the components that have spawned and then for starters, you can have them go to the first one in the array that gets returned when you try to pick up their children

And then it acts on the first one in the array by moving towards it or whatever.

You should have a base trigger component that you can create a child component too.

You can parent the janitor to the child by importing the component into the cpp file.

If you're using blueprints I'm not sure how you would go about it though.

I'm actually incredibly new to Unreal Engine, but I think that's how you would do it.

[sick patio]

so instead of a target point it checks the array, right?

[drowsy snow]

If wiping accuracy isn't a concern, you can have it behave like a weapon. Basically the janitor would hitscan/linetrace to a stain within range and apply "damage" until it goes clean.

That's how it was done in Viscera Cleanup Detail games.

[sick patio]

I finally found a mopping animtaton, so now I have to figure out how to have it animate walking over to the stain, then execute the mopping animation, till the stain is removed then go patrol elsewhere

[dark stirrup]

Wow that is clever.

[midnight dagger]

Hello everyone. I need some advice. I'm thinking of creating some complex GUI inside of UE4. Stuff like radial faders, xy pads, whatever custom ui widget that is let's say not provided out of the box. How would you go about it? Are those features maybe supported and I'm not well informed? If not and it needs to be implemented from scratch, how exactly would you do it? Would you use textures, vectors, or you'd draw it dynamically? Also I'm not sure by heart how would I handle input exactly, but I guess that will not be an issue

Hi all, I have two meshes that currently overlap/have a seam. They have material instances on them with different settings, but I'd like to blend the two objects together / minimize the seam visibility.

Both sides had walls

[fierce tulip]

[fierce agate]

Which one?
I don’t have what’s this problem called

[fierce tulip]

you need to fix em in blender, not unreal

[drowsy snow]

Fix the normals in blender

By default Blender has no backface culling, giving wrong idea about which way the mesh normals is facing

And please, avoid enabling Two Sided in the material unless you have to.

[hidden dew]

Ty. I've had trouble finding tutorials that don't talk about Landscapes, but I don't think I've just tried "grass spawning in material". Will try.

[drowsy snow]

You can use material trickeries to achieve those kind of progress bars.
It might be difficult to wrap your head around at first, but once you do, you're unlocking whole new possibilities.

Question/Help regarding projectiles!
I'm working on a twin-stick shooter and I'm trying to figure out how to make the projectiles work lol. Full story, made a game in a game jam it's done now, great. Now I'm going through to clean it up and make it a full release. yada yada yada. Looking at the twin-stick shooter template and everything, the projectiles are spawned with an offset, making the projectile spawn wayyy above the player. I don't want that. I want it to spawn from the player. I don't know how to set up collisions and everything to make it: one, not hit the player (and their components). Two, hit enemy ships. Three, hit other players.

TLDR:
I need help with projectile set up with a few conditions in a twin stick shooter.

[fierce tulip]

I dont know the inner workings of it, but you can set up different collision channels for player and its projectiles, as well as for enemies.
so player projectiles can hit enemies, but not itself.

If something is better coded in blueprints, then it should be coded in blueprints. Whether it is a plugin or not has little bearing on that.

[dry lion]

Hi all!
I would like to retry to approach and efficiently learn UE4 (i've done some tutorials and wrote some small projects). Do you have any solid roadmaps to follow to ensure i won't miss anything? Would be a plus to start with learning the advanced topics of c++? I tried blueprints and, for me, doesn't make sense. TIA

[oak patio]

Try again with blueprints. The two are designed to work together it isn't really pick and choose.

Not to mention is BP was confusing I doubt you would find advanced c++ easier, since BP is just a visual interface for simple c++

[lapis ore]

I am trying to import an FBX that was created in Houdini, that has two LODs. Unreal is not importing the UVs. It seems to work sometimes, like yesterday for example, but today it's not working.

[lean leaf]

is there a help channel here in this discord. im being driven crazy rn.

[grim ore]

Every channel can be a help channel if its the correct topic

[lean leaf]

my first person controller seems to havea sorta low gravity effect put onto it once i decided to come back to my project after a brake. my previous build does not have these floaty physics and i cant figure out whats causing it. its like the fpc is runing in slow motion

anyone have any ideas?

[pallid olive]

Hi what can you do if game keeps crashing after pressing start and its 20% crash rate

[spice ruin]

Debug it.

[pallid olive]

Is there a badloop or something

[pallid olive]

How Daekesh

[spice ruin]

Do you know how to use visual studio?

[pallid olive]

Unfortunealy not :/

The logs are visible in vs?

[pallid olive]

Problem is also that there is a chance of corrupt files after the crash

[spice ruin]

Highly unlikely.

The logs, if there are any, will be visible in notepad.

If you don't know how to use VS, then the answer you're looking for is beyond the scope of the couple of minutes I might take to explain how to debug with it.

[pallid olive]

Yea ofcourse thanks anyways

[spice ruin]

Good luck 😦

[flat trail]

possible to make this bigger?

Scale the log ui?

[grim ore]

only if you change the default engine font

[flat trail]

ugh, on a big screen for ndisplay this is impossible to read

jeez

[lapis ore]

I am trying to add custom LOD 1 geo to a Static Mesh in UE4. When I choose the dropdown option to reimport LOD1 and point at a file on disk, then hit the Import button on the file browser window, UE4 crashes hard, instantly. Is there a workaround? What am I doing wrong?

[sage coral]

Might be a weird question but do submaps impact fps at all?

[sage coral]

Ue4 has an auto LOD built in thats what I use. I set mine to 3 or 4 LODs Generate it and leave it at the defaults

[lapis ore]

FWIW, it's getting stuck here - happens on some geo, but not others. I need to use a custom LOD in this situation...

...but if I open Unreal through Visual Studio I can just hit "Continue" each time it complains at this line, and force it to do what I need. WCGW, right?

[viral void]

is ue4 still good to work with as ue5 doesnt work for me or should i really try to switch up

[thin tendon]

works fine for me. Depends on your needs really.

[storm dune]

Hey, how can I create a landscape with c++? I tried with spawn actor, but i get Assertion failed: LandscapeGuid.IsValid() error.

[spice ruin]

Find the "add landscape" button or whatever it is in the editor. Use the widget reflector to find the button in code and see what it does.

Then do that.

[thin tendon]

#cpp is the best place to ask c++ questions. My best guess though (I havn't used c++ in a while). IsValid() is a valid check and should work regardless right. So if that is failing then it is likely missing some kind of input parameter in your command.

[storm dune]

So I followed the advice of Daekesh and yours and I ended up with fixing the earlier error, but now I get another one.
Assertion failed: Pair != nullptr [File:D:\Build\++UE4\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Core\Public\Containers/Map.h] [Line: 630]
I checked that line a it's check(Pair != nullptr); in

FORCEINLINE const ValueType& FindChecked(KeyConstPointerType Key) const
    {
        const auto* Pair = Pairs.Find(Key);
        check(Pair != nullptr);
        return Pair->Value;
    }

Any idea how could I go around fixing that?

[thin tendon]

No idea to be honest mate. Like I said I haven't used c++ in a pretty long time. But if you use bread crumbing it will help you figure out exactly which part is the problem.

[drowsy snow]

There must be fuller context behind this. You can't blame the engine code until you ruled out your own code.

[abstract wave]

Hi there sorry if I'm using the wrong chatroom but I got a problem with projectile collision if anyone wants to please help me.

[potent reef]

Hi! Good day everyone!

Is there a possibility to Zoom In Photo /Image in UMG widget? If so, how?

Thanks before!

[drowsy snow]

Yes, you can.
The problem would be more on coding the input without making spaghetti mess of a BP

[thin tendon]

You can always use a material to scale the texture image. Then adjust UV coordinates based off input.

[thin tendon]

I understand you are trying to be polite mate. But you are usually best just asking your question

[potent reef]

@drowsy snow @thin tendon thank you! Am trying to modify ArchvizExplorer, there is a menu button called Gallery. If you click that Image showed up. But you can’t zoom in the photo.

Will try recommendation above. Thanks again!

[azure plank]

does anyone know how make an opaque object not overlap?

[abstract wave]

Alright so I'm making a beat em up and one of the power ups is a bow and arrow. I'm trying to make an arrow projectile collide a vase actor, but it only works within the playable character's AOE attack hitbox. It's really hard to explain through text and I'd rather just call someone.

Basically the problem is despite the arrow being a separate actor, it won't collide with the vase unless the player gets near it.

[low thunder]

Hiu guys im trying to create LOD's for a skeletal mesh in Unreal4 but I dont have the option to add LOD's to it like with a static mesh

does anyone have any advice?

[real stratus]

I want to move the capsule a little higher, but I can't find that setting. Where can I find it?

Or is shifting the sprite the only method? Will it interfere with other animations?

[drowsy snow]

Yes, you have to shift the sprite, and no, it won't mess up the animation by itself

[real stratus]

That is, the new animations are tied to the Pivot of this particular setting?

Hi everyone! I made a Keyboard Shortcut in Level Blueprint when i press U, it display config setting.

I want make an UMG button on click that pressed U in the keyboard, but i dont find any in the web that works.

Is there any easier way to do this? Thanks before!

[sage coral]

Well this was probably the rudest thing someone has said to me about my "unfinished" work when they messaged me to volunteer

"I see no way how you can improve that to an even acceptable or even good level where one can be proud of" 😥

[pallid olive]

hello

if you have a 10 classes that makes up a array and do a random node and spawn one random the array starts from 0 till 10

do i need to do -1 on the index ?

because i have one null class but im pretty sure all classes are set

[real stratus]

Do you know why my collider has a different value in the game and in the settings? Here is a demo:

[potent reef]

Thanks! But what I mean:

I created level Blueprint and create: Press T = to Change Config graphic

And then i make a Widget Blueprint, make a UI Button with On Click function. I want the button simulating pressing T on the keyboard.

[thin tendon]

Correct mate. When you are setting the maximum number in your get random number. You want to get the length of the array and subtract 1.

[thin tendon]

So one way handle this issue. In the level Blueprint create a custom event. To replace the T press event. Then use T press to trigger the custom event. Then in the widget OnClick() ask it to trigger the new custom event.

[pallid olive]

hi slimwaffle so basiclly first get the length and then you have to get random class

[pallid olive]

or shall i promote the random int to a variable and set default value of -1 ?

[thin tendon]

Kind of like this mate

[pallid olive]

high level quallity

what about waffle

didnt test it but should also work ?

[thin tendon]

I'm not sure you need to promote it. This method would also work. But won't spawn if a null reference is found. -1 probably works the best.

[pallid olive]

thank you kindly waffle

[hidden dew]

Hi all.
So I want to do grass with what appears to be the common methods of grass cards; this kind of thing:

And this guy shows a tip for making the grass normals work nicely with different slopes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U94pwpZQsRY&ab_channel=PrismaticaDev

Eg:

But what I want to do has 2 problems:

1. I can't use a Landscape (because I'm on a sphere)
2. The sphere changes shape, so the grass needs to move with the ground.

Like so:

(Ignore the jankiness, it moves much better than that now)

I'm only just learning how to do this grass now, and my understand so far is basically:

• A. Make a grass "clump" by just chucking a couple of planes across each other with a grass texture.
• B. Use Unreal's tools to "paint" the grass clumps wherever
• C. Use a material to make your controls for how the grass looks and moves.

**The Questions! **- So my first two questions at this early point are:

1. What's a good/efficient way to actually have so many grass clumps in the level, since I can't rely on Unreal doing that work for me? Is Unreal still able to efficiently deal with hundreds of the same mesh appearing everywhere? And if so, can each such mesh still have its own translation/scale/rotation?

2. Any tips or buzzwords I could look up for actually putting this grass on the surface programmatically? Ie, I don't want to be placing them individually, and don't know if there's a way to still "paint" them that can still work with my need for a morphing surface.

[coarse jetty]

which is the most optimal way to create a mirror?

[sharp willow]

I'm not a VFX artist, but this sounds like the perfect use case for a vertex shader

[hidden dew]

Ty. I edited my previous post to prevent my questions getting split up.
Could you go into what you mean by vertex shader a bit more?
I only know a bit about Materials... The most advanced thing I've done is use vertex colour data, and an updating texture parameter, and a DMI, to change the hexagons (that can be seen above) across the planet all with the 1 material.

That first line is clarifying

So is this part of saying "Do your translation in the vertex shader, not on the object itself"?

That I get

(Assuming that's where that advice was leading ... ) I remember some vid of a guy rotating 300 items on the CPU -vs- in a material. The material one was obviously a lot faster. I don't understand the reasons behind that yet, but for now that's ok.

Right, cool

Is there anything special I should look into for optimising having so many grass clump meshes in the level?

But I'm guessing that uses a Landscape (from a super quick google)

So it's got a heap of optimisations running that I won't have

I just mean the problem of having a few hundred of the same mesh in the scene; if there's any particular technique or buzzwords I could check out

Instanced Static Meshes?

Thanks, learning about that

[real stratus]

Few people look at paper2d, so I'll ask here.
Save me somebody. My character is not displayed correctly, I will show how it should and how it looks in the game.

In Unity, this was fixed with camera resolution settings and setting pixels per game unit. I can't do this in UE? Come to think of it, if I saw pixel art in UE, it was very close to the player. Is there any way I can make it further without pixel loss?

[slender egret]

Having such a weird stupid issue.
I posses a vehicle. Possesion works, able to move the vehicle, able to unposses and re-enter previous character model.
Once I move a certain distance, and attempt to unposses the vehicle, I do not reposses my previous character. It switches to a different view in the world and I'm unable to control or input anything.. wtf?

at this "certain distance" i do not enter any box collisions, volumes, etc.

Any help would be appreciated, spent hours trying to diagnose wtf is causing the weird unpossesion

[drowsy snow]

Usually pixel art games in UE don't concern about per pixel accuracy and just let it having "subpixel" movement

[real stratus]

But it's very ugly, what's the point in pixel art then, if all pixel art is lost.

I understand that I'm trying to kill a fly with a bazooka, but I really liked the functionality of UE, I really don't want to change the engine.

[drowsy snow]

You could do some tick function on setting the screen percentage based on the real viewport resolution
I don't know if disabling AA also disabling the bilinear interpolation though

[real stratus]

I tried to play with it but nothing works

The actors itself, if you don't destroy/unload them every room

[rotund sorrel]

Wait you can save the actor itself?are they serializable?

My game's save data is bunch of values and flags, and that does the job because it's an RPG

Working on collision with projectile and enemy. The projectile is going through the enemy except for when the enemy starts to move toward the player (enemy is a mine with a box collision that gets activated when the player overlaps it) I want the player to be able to shoot the mine to blow it up when it isn't moving too, but I can't seem to set the collision up properly?

[rain badger]

Collision is complicated.

[static viper]

yes

ey

there is a function

that you should turn on for bullets/projectiles

CCD you can find it below the collision presets

its continious collission detection

this will give your projectile a much bigger chance to overlap/hit

when you set the skeletal mesh are you reinitializing the pose?

[steady vale]

The viewport isnt tilted, all the gameobjects are (probably)

[toxic lily]

if your using a set skeletal node, its the bool tick on the bottom,

also double check your collisions, it could be a query issue

[queen shuttle]

I was saying to rule that out I mean

[spare trench]

Ok I'll check it tomorrow and I have collision issues too. Idk how to solve them

I set collision body to sphere on tires and multi convex on root body of car in physics asset

Also I was having car floating problem so I used Vehicle Wheel blueprint to adjust the size of tire.
Im using seperate Vehicle Wheel blueprint for every different vehiocle mesh as they have different tire's radius

Having a lot more problem with vehicle Idk how to fix them🫤

[toxic lily]

well, just make sure all your collission presets are uniform, check all the collission settings on a skeletal mesh thats working and apply those same settings across the board, 50% of issues like this that i have are related to collisions or query

[keen holly]

Anyone know ho to find the location of these includes in shaders

[dawn flint]

when I try to build light only, it takes around 1 hour and then when its done this error shows out saying out of memory. i have gtx 1650 4gb. + 8gb ram. my scene doesn't have that much, just a house and only added 3 lights. it used to take longer when there is grass but i removed it while working on this. so how can I fix it?.

[queen shuttle]

Have you added a lightmass importance volume?

[dawn flint]

Yes I did

[dawn flint]

It used to render in less then a min. But not it takes an hour and then show that error

[queen shuttle]

Have you used Light density to check where lighting is the heaviest?

[dawn flint]

I remember using something about light from a tutorial to show green blue and red stuff and everything was green.

It says in the error I should lower resolution or something how can I do that?

[queen shuttle]

Yeah thats light density

Thats in settings that is left of your megascans plug in. It will show like quality and stuff like that in there

[dawn flint]

I'm confused haha

[queen shuttle]

Hahaha it's okay, so on the top tool bar in your viewport there is a gear that is labeled settings. Click that and there is some options in there that you can lower. It's under scalability

[dawn flint]

one sec doing that.

i had to delete data cashe thinking if it redid the shaders it could help haha

i opened the project and its doing the shaders again, haha

[dawn flint]

i checked it and its allready at medium. and i wasnt talking about that i read that some people said you can lower a resolution of the quality in some ini file, but idk what file exactly or what to lower

they lowered it from 2048 to 512

[queen shuttle]

Have you used the Lightmap density and checked stuff in your level? It checks the lightmaps and if the lightmaps are high, it will take a while to build

[dawn flint]

i told you i used it and it was green. but i ll try to do it again after it finished shaders, is it okay if you remind where i can find it ? and what to do next if it was still green ?

[queen shuttle]

There is lightmap density and Shader complexity. My bad, I got them switched up. Its under the "Lit" on the view mode tab. "Optimization View modes"

[dawn flint]

you mean these ?

[queen shuttle]

Yep!

Shader complexity and Lightmap Density should be green for the most part. Check your glass on the house. Those things are expensive because of translucency

[dawn flint]

i ll try to use them when its done shadering, and if im stuck on how to i lll google it haha, it really confuses me i thought its because of my pc build but i found people on the internet with way better pc builds but get the same error

[dawn flint]

oh i see, i ll make sure to check well,

[queen shuttle]

Yeah, some things just need to be optimized in order to build faster and better. I've been struggling with that here recently. Hahaha

[dawn flint]

what should i do if everything was green and well ?

[queen shuttle]

I'm here if you need anything. I'll be working on my game for a few more hours

[dawn flint]

it will take hours for my pc to build 6000 shaders haha so i may have to try it tomorrow.

[dawn flint]

thank you again,

for taking the time to help

[queen shuttle]

Yeah for sure! I've been there when I started 2 years ago! It's a lot to learn, that's why we are all here to learn and help each other!

[dawn flint]

thank you, i found i can try it now instead of waiting for shaders,

this is shader complexity

[dawn flint]

not really sure what to look for haha

lightmap density

[queen shuttle]

It will look light this with lights on

[queen shuttle]

Can you click on something else so we can see the house. It turns pink/purple when you click on the object and it hinders you from seeing what it is reading

[dawn flint]

it turns pink like this

when everything selected

[queen shuttle]

Yeah that happens when you click on the static mesh. It's the green/grey color because the shaders aren't finished yet

Yeah, we can't see the information until the shaders finish.

[dawn flint]

but to be honest im not sure if its the cause because even with all these glass and items it was building light in less then 15 seconds but just yesterday did this, or when i add foliage

[queen shuttle]

This is what the lightmaps look like

[dawn flint]

i added 10m verts grass and it build light in like an hour but no error but when i add forest it takes hours and show error

[queen shuttle]

Yeah, So I had a huge issue with that a while back. I had to create a new level and bring everything over to get the error to go away

[dawn flint]

wow.

any idea on how i can fix it ?

[queen shuttle]

It seems to be a bug. Are you running 4.26?

[dawn flint]

4.27.2

[queen shuttle]

My wife helped me with my errors because she doesn't want to throw everything out of the window. So what I would suggest it, put the trees in another world and build the lighting and see if the error is still there. That way its an object of elimination type of thing

[dawn flint]

oh i see, when i finish that will i be able to bring it from another level ?

so i build the forest tree type and rock type at a time and the build light each time to see whats causing the problem

[queen shuttle]

So the trees you put into the world that caused the error. If you put those in a blank level and you still get the error, then they are the reason you have an error and you will need to find better trees that aren't corrupted, or delete them and reimport them

[dawn flint]

quick question is there a way for me to select an object and hide it or make it so that when i build lighting its excluded? so i can do that to the building and see whats causing the lighting error ?

[queen shuttle]

Never really tried that but in the details panel you can uncheck visibility and check hidden in game and see if that will work.

[dawn flint]

i ll try that, thank you a lot for all the help

[queen shuttle]

Yeah for sure! I've been where you are and I try to help people as much as I can so they don't get stuck for so long like I was. Hahaha

[dawn flint]

yeah, it hurt haha, thanks . and good luck to you with your work

[queen shuttle]

Thanks, You too! I'm here if you need any help. I'm on my computer all day everyday

[dawn flint]

I won't say no. Don't regret it haha

What do I do if the windows mouse keeps flickering visible at the edge of the screen when playing my game when it's set to not be visible?

[queen shuttle]

Need to the input the game only

[magic helm]

It is, it's not to do with the game seemingly. Seems to be some kind of glitch where the Windows mouse is somehow still registering with movement or something.

[queen shuttle]

Its set up right and after the set game mode you have a "Set show mouse" node unchecked?

[magic helm]

OOOOH! This might be it! I have it but the 'Set show mouse' is before the 'Set input mode'. I'll try rearranging it, thank you!

How to add collision to skeletal mesh?i want to use the mesh, like "use complex as simple" in static ones

[drowsy snow]

Physics asets, or per poly collision
The latter is way more expensive to calculate, so only use it if you really have to.

[rotund sorrel]

It's expensive at runtime or to calculate only once?

[drowsy snow]

Runtime

[rotund sorrel]

Can i then set block ignore etc. to trace channels using the physics assets?

[austere smelt]

so iv been kinda tinkering around in the unreal 4 engine for a bit, mostly making small enviorments, but i wanted to start making a playable game, any good advice on where to start?

[sage coral]

How can I make it so when I use a line trace it interacts with a box collision instead of overlapping the player?

Im just unsure what to cast the box collisions overlap to get the linetrace going out

[thin tendon]

Keep your idea small mate. The simpler the better. Obviously you want to have room to grow and learn. But the smaller your idea the less likely you are to be overwhelmed with a ton of stuff to do all at once.

[thin tendon]

If your collision box and player mesh use different collision channels. Just trace on the channel you need.

[silk sundial]

Id suggest first planning out what mechanics you actually want among other things like singleplayer or multiplayer etc etc becomes a lot harder to change stuff the further along you go so its always good to just have an idea for what you want to start off with then you can do some research and ask for help on specific things you may get stuck on

theres plenty of resources and questions answered on here and on the forums along with tutorials online though the quality of some of them may not be the best

[sage coral]

@thin tendon I think I had my trace on the wrong channel

[steady vale]

the problem still persists

ad i was able to reproduce the issue on a new level

i am using the Universal Camera Plugin (Free on this month) and it comes with a default pawn

when i spawn any object at rutime

it spawns tilted

ad i f i stop play, then the viewport dont get tilted

but if i press f8 during playmode and stop the game pressing escape, the viewport gets tilted (Only in that level)

[queen shuttle]

Can you check the pawn in the plug in and see if anything looks odd?

[steady vale]

but, even if something was wrong on the pawn class, that shouldnt cause the gameobjects to be tilted on the viewport after game stopped right?

[queen shuttle]

Unless there is a setting on the camera in the blueprint

[steady vale]

i opened the .h file but dont know where to look at

[spring delta]

Does anyone know this variable type?

[thin tendon]

integer

[spring delta]

how fuse 2 integers like that?

[drowsy snow]

Structs

[spring delta]

so it's a integer struct?

How do you rename a packaged game automatically? Don't want my released game to be named "CombatGame" in file explorer xD

[drowsy snow]

Valorant's project name is named "ShooterGame"

[dawn flint]

@queen shuttle I wanted to let you know ho wit went, nothing helped until I copied everything and pasted it in a new level, now even if i build lighting in production quality in doesn't take more than 5 seconds. thank you so much for your help

[static viper]

oh nonononono

do never ever attach a delay to a tick

give me a minute ill make something for you

[opaque seal]

ok tnx

[static viper]

this is how you should do it

but i would go a bit further

this is very clean

it will count exactly one serialized second

and then when it reaches 360 degress

it will reset itself

mh we could use the same logic for the hour pointer

[opaque seal]

still same bug

it doesnt fixed

[static viper]

my clock works

oh no sorry

it doesnt

gimbal

a second

A CHALLENGE

ok you can use combine rotators here

forgot that node

this will go in the right direction too

my clock was inverted in the world

[opaque seal]

ok let me try it

[rain badger]

bump. lol.

[opaque seal]

@static viperit works thank you so much ❤️

[static viper]

and this for the minutes

i checked it at full speed

no glitches

Why i gave you all the solutions? Because i thought it was fun to make XD

[opaque seal]

XD

tnx
