Click the image to the right.

If the video is the bottom one, he has his as an "array" type which is a variable that holds multiple values

idk what your symbol is.

I also assume you know how to check if it's the same "type"

[gray oxide]

if i change it to an array it also changes the left symbol

which im assuming is the "type"

im getting this error and i have no idea how to fix

Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property Char2". Blueprint: 2DSideScrollerExampleMap Function: Execute Ubergraph 2DSide Scroller Example Map Graph: EventGraph Node: SetActorLocation

sorry for image dump

Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property Char2". Blueprint: 2DSideScrollerExampleMap Function: Execute Ubergraph 2DSide Scroller Example Map Graph: EventGraph Node: Set FieldOfView

this too

same error different node

[plush yew]

This is my variables for a script I wrote.

First is an array (9 boxes symbol) of type "ambient sound."
The next two are single variables of type boolean.

[plush yew]

You have a variable.

This variable is a "reference."

This variable has no value assigned to the reference.

So in English...
You are capable of having children.
You have no children.
Someone asks you to show your children to them.

How do you show your children?

[gray oxide]

oh

[gray oxide]

i have char1 on the level map but char2 isnt on there

[plush yew]

ye

[gray oxide]

but i have a bp that spawns char2 from inside char1

[plush yew]

If it's instance editable/public you might see it.

[gray oxide]

alright tysm

[plush yew]

no problem @gray oxide

It'll help you a lot to go through a programming course. Codecademy is really good.
Just do C++ or Java and you'll have a pretty good understanding of what things are if you are not a programmer.

and codecademy is free.

[gray oxide]

I'm currently learning Python and I have an extremely limited knowledge on Java

[plush yew]

Python is good for logic, but Blueprints do do a lot of C++ kinds of things.

You might be okay with Python, but since python doesn't require you to specify types and so on, you might be missing a few minor things.

up to you.

[faint wagon]

hey guys

i got a small problem

i have programed a door but on the first time it is used in the active level viewport it glitches out a bit

after that in that one instance it is fine but whenever its restarted it glitches for the first use again

[real heath]

glitches
Try not to be too specific...

perhaps a video or picture would help

[faint wagon]

i will post a video in a second

just testing if it does it on more than one door in a single instant

k it does it for each one

this is the glitch thats happening

[grim ore]

that doesnt look like glitching, that looks like your settings your first time opening rotation to open not closed. show your code

[real heath]

Yep initial code state doesn't match visual state

[plush yew]

How do you guys make an event activate only after another one before it got activated, i have a room with two events, when the player enters and reaches the farthest corner of the room an event will happen, and when he's exiting the room another one will happen, yet i don't want the latter to trigger when first entering the room given how the collision box is in the door way

[oak patio]

use a boolean. Event one checks if a boolean is true. it won't be, so it doesn't fire. Event 2 happens and sets the boolean to true. Event 1 checks again, boolean is true so it executes.

you could also have event 2 be responsible for spawning event 1's trigger

or have a manager object that controls which events execute when

[agile bluff]

Jumped in because im a little perplexed.

I've heard at some point Unreal Engine has some sort of systems for character Teams (player is team 0, enemies team 1)

Ive tried researching around but im just finding unreal docs that dont really lead to anything?

The question is, does Unreal Engine already have some sort of system for character teams?

Obviously I can just make it myself, but id rather know for sure if Unreal already does any of this (which im leaning towards it does but am not finding anything about it)

[fast zealot]

Python Dev's can't be real

[copper bobcat]

You can use gameplay tags
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/Tags/

[glacial spoke]

Hi, I would like to create a 3d game on Unreal Ingine 4, but my knowledge in programming is not enough, the game is about the 3rd year, where Navalny seized power, but then the main character wakes up, our main hero is a super soldier of the USSR and he decides to overthrow Alexei, the project positions itself as a serious project, I'm looking for a programmer.

[faint wagon]

first one is the door and the second is the player

[spice ruin]

The AI system has a response/team thing. Not sure if that's the old or newer ai system, though.

Or if there's even a difference.

[faint wagon]

i think i have fixed the issue but i cant close the door after its been opened anymore

[spice ruin]

There's OnlineGameMatchesInterface.h or GenericTeamAgentInterface.h for the team stuff in the engine. Not sure there's much else.

Rolling your own team stuff is extremely simple, though.

[agile bluff]

yeah for sure

cheers for the double check

[faint wagon]

turns out if i try and make the door rotate 100 degrees it wont work properly

[plush yew]

Ah ok, and is this option available in event dispatchers?

[oak patio]

Sure. Event 1 has Boolean false, but is bound to Event 2 dispatcher. Event 2 triggers the dispatcher. Event 1 sets it's Boolean to false

[next wadi]

Hey! this might be a very beginner question but how do I use this function in a different blueprint? I have a function in "Hitbox Actor BP" that I wanna use in "MocapAnimBP" and for the life of me I cant figure out how

[plush yew]

Alright I'll try it out thx a lot

[faint wagon]

i fixed it

[vocal warren]

hi
anybody knows how to make a chracter with cubic capsule component?

[oak patio]

Cubic capsule component?

[spice ruin]

I think he wants to use a box instead of a capsule.

[vocal warren]

👍🏻

[spice ruin]

You can't.

Not without refactoring most of the CMC

[vocal warren]

Is there anyway else?
Like smalling that capsule and making my shape with collision to block? (I tried it and didn't work)

[oak patio]

No

If you want custom collision for movement, you're gonna need to write your own movement component, or buy one off the marketplace

[vocal warren]

Also I tried that but it was little buggy...

[oak patio]

Well in fairness that's an issue with your code

[vocal warren]

Can u tell one of they're name on marketplace?

I want to make a human fall flat like thing but with a simple cube

[oak patio]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/general-movement-component

[vocal warren]

Thx

Does it work with physics?

[oak patio]

No idea

[vocal warren]

I mean like a car that is 25% on the floor and 75% in the air and it's gonna fall but in my opinion it's a fucking cube

[vocal warren]

That Cube is the chracter

hello everyone!
i am trying to deploy an AR application on an iPhone. The build succeeds, the deploy process doesn’t. I get the following error:
LogPlayLevel: Error: [DD] ... Error: Failed to connect to bundle ‘com.md.imageacquisition’

Unreal Engine 4.26.2 running on MBP Pro 19

I only have a free apple developer account since this project just an experiment for a scool project and I dont want to publish it.

Can anyone help me with this issue? Thanks 🙂

[edgy parrot]

Does any one know how to fix and remove this distortion above my meshes i only see those in android build but in ios it looks fine

[frigid gate]

Hi I'm trying to learn UE and I just ran into a problem where when trying to play in the editor I have no character and can't move. I've tried spawning a character and using "play from here" and also using auto possess but neither worked. I was following a tutorial on yt at the time but I set the stuff like gamemode and player controller back to default and it still doesn't work. :((

[frigid gate]

nvm apparently I had the wrong settings. I had it set to GameState instead of GameStateBase and changing that fixed it

[frozen tinsel]

is worth use ue4 and not use ue5?

there are a lot of difference?

or you can do the same?

[spice ruin]

Ue4 isn't going to receive any more updates. No features of hug fixes. Ue5 has a ton of new stuff already.

[silver quest]

a lot of the blueprint stuff are similar but ue5 has stuff like lumen and (uhh that one thing with triangles)

which im pretty sure ue4 doesnt have

[spice ruin]

Nanite.

[silver quest]

that's the one

[plush yew]

i did this to make a music play when an enemy is near me, it works fine yet i keep getting this error

[thin tendon]

You don't need to set the timer every time you call the event. You can also fix your null error by adding an is valid node after your get actor of class.

[plush yew]

i did this instead of using eventick cuz ive read its more efficient

[oak patio]

But you misunderstand how it works. It can indeed be more efficient. But you don't set the timer each time it's event is called

[plush yew]

what should i do then?

[oak patio]

Remove the call to the set timer in the timer's event

[plush yew]

and ?

[oak patio]

And?

You just do that

Then follow the other thing slimwaffle said

[plush yew]

so it becomes like this?

[oak patio]

By using an is valid node

[oak patio]

No

You're now not calling the timer's event, but still calling set timer

You want the red wire, not the white wire going back up to call the timer

[plush yew]

oh ok i got it like this

[oak patio]

Yep but now your event timer isn't doing anything. On begin play you set a timer. Then execute some code.

But then you have a looping timer to just get an actor by class. Doing nothing else

You should really step away and learn referencing and blueprints because something in your understanding of BP is fatally flawed

[plush yew]

definitely im used to c# in unity

and even that was a headache lol

[frozen tinsel]

is worth learn unreal engine 4 in 2023 , because unreal engine 5 my pc didnt run , but the unreal engine 4 yes , its worth?

[fierce tulip]

most of the things you learn with ue4 are transferable to ue5

@frozen tinsel though dont crosspost the same question next time, its against the rules and can get you striked, worst case banned.

[frozen tinsel]

so , its worth?

[fierce tulip]

yea, dont let it stop you :)

sure UE5 has some new features, but --besides maybe cascade-- most things are def. transferable

[frozen tinsel]

Because what do you think would be more worth learning in 2023, unity, or unreal engine 4, I would like to learn and I don't know which of the two to choose

or its the same?

[fierce tulip]

that I cant choose for you.
I'd say try both and follow some getting started tutorials with both. then decide :)

[frozen tinsel]

mm im going to try unreal engine 4

so idk if i can run it xD

if i say you my specs you can say?

or you dont know?

[fierce tulip]

one sec

[frozen tinsel]

ok

[fierce tulip]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/Basics/RecommendedSpecifications/

[frozen tinsel]

the ram recommended is 8gb?

[neon wedge]

I'd say get more ram. Unreal uses alot.
Plus if your going to watch youtube/discord while using UE4 you'll need the extra ram

[fierce tulip]

the more ram, the better.
and if you can run UE off an ssd, even better.

you can run on lower than 8gb ram, ive seen people do it, and for just learning its generally fine.

[frozen tinsel]

so if i want to do a game , i cant?

[fierce tulip]

you could, but dont expect to do AAA quality visuals. but that goes for unity as well

[frozen tinsel]

and i can do a game with , good graphics? , no elden ring graphics but , good graphics

[frozen tinsel]

graphics like genshin impact , this style

[fierce tulip]

start with learning first :)

do some getting started tutorials, some "your first game in ue" tutorials and such

take it from there.

[frozen tinsel]

So i can do this graphic Style?

[fierce tulip]

eventually, with enough experience, sure.

[frozen tinsel]

Okey , with 8 GB RAM im good to make good simple games in ue4?

[fierce tulip]

yuz!

[frozen tinsel]

Ok ,thx

So i learn blueprints or c++?

[fierce tulip]

i'd start with bp's :)

[frozen tinsel]

Ok so how i learn , searching a Guy making a Game and copy or look tutorials

Because if i search , all people use unreal engine 5

[fierce tulip]

check the pinned messages in this channel

[frozen tinsel]

There are lots

What pinned you say?

[fierce tulip]

pick the getting started ones me thinks.
< afk

[bleak zodiac]

when i first started the unreal engine, didn't make a game, just learning at learn.unreal and documentation, until today, i still doing tutorial at epic developer site 🙂

Hello out there! I have a question! My team and I are using tortoisesvn for our game and we recently hit the max on storage space. Does anyone here know how to upgrade the storage on this? Any help would be appreciated!

[pure niche]

bros, any ideas what might be causing camera jerking in a .001 Timer Event for rlerp z-locked rotating player character? control rotation disabled, xyz inheritance also disabled

[dark axle]

Hello guys, may I ask for guide or assistance on UE 4.27.2 pixel streaming voice chat?

[real heath]

svn has no storage limit, your server where you host it might though, so you'll need to check where you are hosting it. Also your local drive may be full since SVN tends to cache some stuff locally. I think theres a "clean up" command or soemthing. can't remember now, been a while since i used SVN

but #source-control might be a better place to ask more in depth questions

[peak hare]

Is it okay to have a delay node on an event I fire every 5 s? The delay is of 60s and then I fire a function. Im just wondering if the delay will actually be respected or the delay will just get retriggered with every fire of the event. Or instead I will have multiple 'delays' running concurrently.

[odd swan]

both are possible, check out the “retriggerable delay” node

[oak patio]

Just use timers at that point

[copper bobcat]

Use Tick

Anyone have tips of camera shake? Trying to use it to add juice for hits.
It's either too little to be noticeable, or way to distracting. I cant seem to get it right

[copper bobcat]

Play different camera shakes based on the amount of damage.

[real heath]

Yep, and have different shakes for different types of hits. More horizontal panning for side strikes, more vertical panning for hits on the head etc

Don't go crazy doing vertical, horizontal and rolling all at once

[neon wedge]

Thanks for the responses.
Do you use a low frequency and high amplitude?

[real heath]

Depends on what you are going for and what kind of hit. Frequency affects how quickly it moves back and forth. Amplitude is how much it moves.

I'd have a fairly quick fade out though

[neon wedge]

Alright I think i got it.

[spare trench]

once I got logs when my game crashes, how do I fix it
(im a beginner)

[orchid bobcat]

Open your logs, find any warnings / errors and fix them

so how will I fix it?

A basically template AAA game lol

[spice ruin]

What would be a content pack for heist games? Money bags and safes?

Rubber masks? 🙂

[tame marsh]

Those money bags better have comically large dollar signs on them

[oak patio]

Or say swag

It's not a heist without a swag bag

Hey, anybody know of any good assets for ocean waves? Large, whitecap waves? From what I can see the marketplace only has a few assets of this sort, which all seem to be very expensive and very cpu intensive.. Im surprised there aren't particle packs with more waves?

Any ideas?

Gif Related, type of effect I'd like

But like not just shoreline, ocean waves as well

[oak patio]

Yeah... About that...
We don't really have one

[oak patio]

That's not glowing?

The other one just appears to have lowered roughness and a light on it

[faint wagon]

k thanks!

how do i increase roughness

[oak patio]

In the material

It's just not really that needed

Epic Dev community. Primarily learning an object oriented language made it very easy to pick up

The epic Dev community

[faint wagon]

Thanks

[oak patio]

?

Do you want good advice or not

The epic Dev community portals are made by the person responsible for the best BP API reference we have

I don't think you get how large companies work. It's not one team on two keyboards making fortnite and unreal engine educational content at the same time

(especially when then $10 course is gonna be full of bad practice :P)

Eh he's alright if you want to get into the art side more.

But the first hour in unreal engine course is your best bet

[grim ore]

4.27

it's the latest released version

do you have a reason to use the older ones? if not, the latest one has the most features

[oak patio]

Are you just trolling.

If you don't wanna take people's advice seriously why bother asking the question

On Play In Editor, the game loads and begins and then I'm brought into the level at a point I never set as a begin play point, without any control or anything. My game is third person so normally I'd just be behind my character wherever I begin Play In Editor. Any ideas?

It's like on Play In Editor, my player character isn't being inhabited.

Anyway, i need help. I was packaging my game yesterday, it took 40 minutes (important later), and it failed. I have NO IDEA how to read the output log, like, it's 500 lines of messages where i don't even know what i'm looking for. Today i tried it again, this time it took around 40 SECONDS before that package failed (huh???) and idk what to do.

heres the log btw

[quaint oak]

hey im working on a racing game and was wondering, do any of you know how to change the friction scale of a cars tyre in game? i want to set it up so that when you press a buttonto drift, the friction scale will be set to something very low

[slender egret]

Have you watched some walkthroughs on proper packaging?

[slender egret]

It should be in the vehicle movement component in your blueprint

If you select vehicle movement there should be somewhere you can adjust the friction. All you need to do is assign an input key that adjusts the friction on pressed, and returns it to default on released.

[slender egret]

If anyone has any help for my question above, that'd be appreciated.

[robust lintel]

nope. i propbly should...

[slender egret]

Yes you definitely should, it's more complicated than just exporting. There should be plenty of good videos on youtube

There's certain settings you need to enable or disable etc.etc.

[junior holly]

Okay, but I can't find it though 😂

[slender egret]

You're using UE5?

[warped heart]

Do you load game on start? Or no saves yet just starting at player start object?

[slender egret]

If you're using UE5, ask in the UE5 general since that's not a feature of UE4

[warped heart]

And are you loading in the right level or is editor starting you on another level?

[junior holly]

Sure man

[slender egret]

Starting at player start object. Always works normally, but I just dropped my "boat" into the level which can be possessed. But only on an interaction input

[slender egret]

Loading on the right level

[slender egret]

Best of luck

[warped heart]

Ok is it now spawning you at your boat? I think I see what you got going on hm

[junior holly]

I know

[slender egret]

I am spawning but on game start, I'm stuck on a fixed camera positioned at a completely different area

it's as if I'm inheriting my Dynamic Sky object, because that's the exact location the "random" camera view is at

But obviously I have no movement inputs etc.

[warped heart]

Do you have anything setting your inputs to the boat?

If so I'd test disable the red bp to start the boat and see if I regain the player. If that works I'd know the boat needs configured a bit more to only grab Camera and such on interact

[slender egret]

When I do interact with the boat, my player controller possesses it and I can control it. On interact again, it unpossess and repossesses my original player character

[slender egret]

The red bp?

[warped heart]

Event begin play
Custom event etc

[slender egret]

Oh no so I mean on spawn I don't see my character at all. My world is very large, Im spawning like 10km away

I can't see the boat or anything Im very far from it

[warped heart]

Right so I'm assuming you added something to a viewport and it's fighting your player

[slender egret]

Yeah I believe it's the boat, it must be

RIP

[warped heart]

Wich you say you added the boat so disconnect its starting code bps

Don't delete just to test if all goes back to normal then you know the boat is pre maturely activating something

[slender egret]

But also it DID work, but when I drove the boat too far on my map it like disconnected from my player character camera and like just switched to a static camera view

it's hard to explain

[slender egret]

kk thanks

[warped heart]

I getcha wishing all the luck I know bugs can really kick my buns sometimes 🍀

[slender egret]

Haha yep thanks. Itll get figured out!

Whenever I run into a big bug I think of it as life seeing how badly I want my cool game to exist

https://tenor.com/view/delusional-bernie-berniesanders-gif-9796384

[faint wagon]

is it possible to add a animated material from blender to ue4

[oak patio]

No

Not unless you manually recreate it

[faint wagon]

damn

what about ue5

[oak patio]

no

its fundamentally impossible

they use completely different shader systems

[delicate depot]

I mean

if you can get HLSL code out of blender material, you could use it as custom shader code in UE

you would need to make some modifications and you would need some understanding of hlsl but it would work

[faint wagon]

ok

[oak patio]

blender runs on opengl so uses GLSL

[delicate depot]

Should be mostly trivial to translate, but as I said, requires understanding of shader languages. Very unpractical

[azure shore]

god is there any way to not make the damn errors screen flash up in front of everything every time I end a playtest, I fix whatever errors I can but some are just useless warnings that literally dont matter I dont CARE its so stressful

sure why not

Dunno what your exact use case or implementation is

But it can be efficiently done with a reflective material and manipulating a normal map

[faint wagon]

It’s meant to be animated and slightly lumpy

Yes, look at water material tutorials for examples of animating normal maps to create that bumpy effect

Aloha all. Stranger here. I am curious about the possibility of decompiling (and modding and recompiling) an abandoned Unreal Engine 4 game. Does anyone have experience doing this, or have knowledge of the tools that one might use to accomplish that if it's possible?

[oak patio]

if someone did, it wouldnt be discussable here, as such techniques are also applicable to ripping non abandoned games

[bronze tendon]

Ah fair doh.

[glacial wyvern]

I cant get this plugin to package properly, anyone know a fix?

[calm maple]

If anyone know how to replace the FPS mannequin arms with another model while keeping the animation the same please let me know.

Ive tried retargeting but whenever I try to I don’t get the option to use the mannequin arm skeleton

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dVmtM0dXS6o

Similar to this but with just the arms

In the fps template

Can I DM ya

What would be the best way to make multiple doors from one blueprint

[oak patio]

Have a door_base. This door contains everything common to all doors.

Then each unique door can subclass it

And implement it's own behaviour

[azure shore]

does it get your cursor location in world space

is it more offset the closer the cursor is to the edge of the screen

[slender egret]

Any good tutorials for making a drivable boat? To work with the unreal water system. Thanks!

[faint wagon]

How would I do all this

[oak patio]

Learn about object orientation.

[faint wagon]

K thanks!

[oak patio]

It will be a the same.

A blueprint project means you can only use blueprint.

A c++ project means you can use both

hi , is it possible to pack a dedicated server using Launcher Version ?

[grim ore]

no

[plush yew]

Hi there!

im in a serious issue

so is there any Unreal Engine developer here?

[oak patio]

yes there's lots. People can't help you with an issue if you don't tell them what it is.

[plush yew]

i have got a challenge by my friends

to make a game in UE

i never touched UE in my entire life

and i need someone to guide me

[oak patio]

there's plenty of tutorials online. I reccomend starting with the epic dev community, where they have lots on pathways for different things

if you want 1-1 help you are free to post to the job board to hire a tutor. But that will cost ya

[plush yew]

ok

so you dont understand my situation

my friends didnt challenge me to make a game in either UE 4 or UE5

Its UE 3

[idle fulcrum]

Can you help me pls? I can's render prerecorded sequence in UE4.27
I captured CineCamera movement using ViveTrackers. In sequence it plays fine, but in render it jumps to another position.

[oak patio]

then download ue4 or ue5, theyre free

[plush yew]

thats not part of the challenge

[oak patio]

ah ym bad i misread

https://docs.unrealengine.com/udk/Three/WebHome.html

then look at the udk documentation

there might be some guides online

[idle fulcrum]

The one on the right is positioned correctly, but it jumps to position of the left camera.

Even the sequencer shows incorrect position

[plush yew]

so i need help with adding UE3 in epic games launcher

[oak patio]

you don't. You download the installer.

read the documentation i sent you

[plush yew]

i have already downloaded the engine

[rare hawk]

then why do you need it added in Epic games launcher? U cant

[plush yew]

Well to access project files and stuff

[rare hawk]

Why would you need the launcher for that? its just a shortcut. U can always open Projects directly from the engine or file explorer

[plush yew]

Look

I have no idea about UE

And I have no idea about UE3

I am just a simple Unity Developmer

[rare hawk]

then read the documentation he sent

[plush yew]

Ok

I did that

The docs feel wierd

[oak patio]

thats because it's old.
unless the challenge has some kind of significant reward i wouldn't say it's worth it

you're setting yourself up for not only a hard challenging transitioning with no knowledge of any unreal engine version, but to top it off you're picking one of the less user friendly versions

[plush yew]

Ok look

If I fail the challenge

My friends will do the unthinkable

[oak patio]

they dont seem much like friends

if theyre gonna do the unthinkable 😆

[plush yew]

They are gonna do 2 things

First take away my girl

Secondly take my 2 systems from me

My ps4 and the psp

I can't let this happen

[oak patio]

for sure.
Those are some awful friends though lol. Friends dont do that
unless this is a really odd friendship dynamic that i don't understand :P

https://youtu.be/tb9zkYr9sf4
also found this, not sure how good it is tbh, and i have a feeling you'll be mostly on your own for this one

[idle fulcrum]

It's more like 4.27 either take recorder didn't record LensFile attached to CineCamera, or sequencer doesn't open it when rendering video.

[plush yew]

The UI seems to be a bit different

And looks more compact

It's pretty much same

I wish I could get a few UE3 Devs

I love the engine by now

I have not discover programming part of this engine yet

[plush yew]

Hey guys after enabling ray tracing support and relaunching unreal it keeps crashing during shader comp, i even installed new drivers and didnt fix it, is there anyway i can disable this option without launching unreal? because i cant turn it off before it crashes

Or not...

Apparently it just works on like the 7th relaunch

Technology isn't it something?

Hi guys does anyone know how to solve this error when it comes to packaging LogCookDisplay: Forcing save package because was already requeued once. I tried to pacakage a character and every time i try to package a character I get this error.

hey, does anyone know what is making my animation do this? https://youtu.be/gHO0JPrrMUc

[austere swan]

Think Palette cycling could be possible in UE?

[oak patio]

?

You're gonna have to explain what that is

[warped heart]

Looks to be working from first person may not look as nice

[rose zenith]

me?

[warped heart]

Yeah the reload looks good whats your issue with it just the clipping from the players point of view?

[austere swan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUbrzg21X9c

[rose zenith]

i thought so too, but if i move the camera back, so i can see the arms, they move much more than they should

[austere swan]

Basically a old trick that changes colors to give off as animation to save memory and not use much frames basically @oak patio

[rose zenith]

i can tell by looking at how the shoolders move

they rotate much more than the 3rd person ones

[warped heart]

I havent made my melee combat yet if you get that part figured out give me a ping even even my fireballs have alittle bit of weird clipping myte just need to adjust the camera more

[fathom kindle]

How will this help me to package my character because I am unable to package my character due to this problem LogCookDisplay: Forcing save package because was already requeued once.

[austere swan]

Sorry, wrong ping

[rose zenith]

that and also, in the 3rd person animation, the gun still points forward, but in the first person, it points way off to the right

Yo guys quick question, if im gonna have a cape for my character, do i need to have bones on the cape/mesh??

Or do i just go straight to the simulation thingy

[oak patio]

It is definitely going to be possible

[weak urchin]

Quick question, I have some skeletal meshes that are creating what looks like weird shadows behind the character when the player moves. What are they, what causes them and how do I get rid of these? Thanks.

[analog ridge]

Bro, the skeleton to which you are rebinding this should have the equal properties

Like the head body etc are missing in the FPS temp

So ue4 is going crazy

And also I think using the tps temp is much better

[dapper oak]

ive got a physics constraint setup between two object in my player and im wanting to attach one of those constrained objects to another object during run time. My thinking is that the attached object will still be affected by its physics constraint and affect its new parent object aswell but the physics constraint seems to get removed upon attachment. Is there any way of keeping the constraint when attaching the object?

Hey guys I tried importing my animation from Maya to UE4 using USD importer and my mesh came out like this, The texture is fine but for some reason there are these holes or black spots on his face. does anyone know how to fix this?

[thin tendon]

You can limit the amount of cores unreal has access to in your task manager. This will lower CPU use. Just be mindful things will take a lot longer.

[thin tendon]

I can't really see what you mean from your screenshot. But have you tried adjusting the position of the decal on the surface. The depth the surface appears in the decal can affect how transparent the decal appears.

[thin tendon]

Not really. More like things take more time. things like; loading and unloading or baking. Pretty much everything.

[radiant crow]

Sorry if this isnt the place to ask, I'm not really sure where to go for questions related to modding.
I am trying to extract a UE4.25 game and I have UnrealPak from that engine version and the AES keys, but I am having trouble actually making unrealpak use the key. I have a Crypto.json with the key specified inside. do I need to use -encryptionini to point to the json?

[thin tendon]

Usually questions about modding aren't answered here. You are better of asking in a modding forum.

[radiant crow]

alright thanks for the heads up👍

[faint wagon]

Is there anything for basic blueprints like a plug-in that adds basic stuff

[dapper oak]

why would setting bWeldSimulatedBodies to false in attachment transform rules cause the attachment to fail?

[oak patio]

The basic stuff is already in there. Define what you want by basic stuff

[faint wagon]

Like enemy movement and stuff like that

I’m pretty sure I have heard of a plug-in that helps with it

[humble walrus]

hello, can i ask an end user q here?

[thin tendon]

@valid patio In the channels section look at the "Job Board" drop down. It has channels like #salary-jobs #freelance-jobs .

[thin tendon]

You need to be more specific then random screenshot and "help". otherwise we don't know the issue.

[thin tendon]

yes or you can try one of the more specific channels for a more specialised response.

[humble walrus]

its about a command line argument

I'm playing a ue4 game and i'd like to know what command line argument i can input to increase the frame rate limit (assuming that the engine has a general command for this, im not entirely sure how it works behind the scenes)
i found t.MaxFps from searcing google but i decided to ask here just to be sure, i have no idea if that's a valid command line argument
the game in question has a box where you can input any command line argument you want:

[thin tendon]

I haven't heard of UVs getting swapped like that. Maybe check your import settings. It could depend on which channel is being used as the lightmap

[thin tendon]

Typically modding and configuration questions don't get answered here. But as a quick answer yes t.maxFPS <desired FPS number> is the argument to set FPS cap through command.

[humble walrus]

alright, thank you. i couldnt find any other place to ask such a question so yeah

apologies

[thin tendon]

What do you mean by 2 indices both with the max value? There will only be one index at the end of your array.

[humble walrus]

alright so, seems like it didnt do anything. After entering t.maxFPS 90 in the box its still at 62 fps.

maybe this game doesnt allow such modifications

maybe i need to pass it as an argument of another command line flag?

like -exec="t.maxfps 90" or something?

[thin tendon]

Could depend on how they set up the command input. Another option is try a config file. And check vsync to

[humble walrus]

yeah i found engine.ini in my appdata folder but im not entirely sure what to put there

[old bolt]

Hello, I would like to ask if with this GPU: Radeon Rx 570 and the correct settings I should be able to create a fairly large open world with good fps, I have tried a bit with some tutorials and as soon as I add trees, grass, etc, it becomes unplayable, i get about 10 fps, im thinking that maybe my pc not good enough for what i want to make

[thin tendon]

Being a 4gb card. You probably could by turning stuff down,going low poly and having a heavy focus on performance. But obviously when it comes to development the bigger the card the easier it is going to be for you.

[old bolt]

I wanted to try to create something like skyrim, with realistic graphics. From what you said, I guess it's practically impossible, right?

[thin tendon]

Not impossible just a lot of work and a little difficult.

[old bolt]

with my setup?

[thin tendon]

I don't know your setup. But its like this even an experienced developer would find that difficult.

[old bolt]

I was referring to if it is possible to create something like this with a GPU like mine, I think so from your first answer, but just to confirm

[thin tendon]

Technically yes but I would recommend a larger card

[old bolt]

perfect i will keep trying then at least to practice, til i can afford a good GPU, tysm!

[valid raven]

anyone have a clue as to what's happening here? I have a parent i'm using for all inventory items, a child for creatures, and a child of that for the specific creatures that go in the inventory.

the specific creature is data only for now, but i do plan on adding code to it later, at some point. yet after i set the settings and compile then save, then close out of it and reopen, it's entirely blank

i believe it's because it's readdata only, i was wondering if there's a setting i can disable to fix that?

go up to window and reopen the windows that closed or try resetting to the default layout. see if it comes back

[tall pewter]

Very broad question from a newbie. Is it optimal to have one actor manage multiple actors on tick vs those multiple actors each managing themselves on tick? I'm creating a bullet hell game and am currently working on damage text. There can be 100's of damage texts occuring at a moment, and I'm wondering if its worth it to have a BP_Damage_Text_Orchestrator that ticks and scales/moves/fades all damage text each tick vs having each damage text object individually ticking to scale/move/fade itself. Is this sort of optimization worth it or am I just moving the workload around unnecessarily?

[sharp canopy]

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie as well with a question:
Looking at blueprints my understanding is that there are a lot of very specific elements, each useful for their own very specific function. As a newcomer, the only way around that seems to be to memorize what each (of the hundreds?) element does.

So the question is: is there a list of the most useful/common blueprint elements somewhere?

just to filter them a bit and start in a bit less daunting way

thanks!

[oak patio]

the only way around that seems to be to memorize what each (of the hundreds?) element does.
Short answer is you won't be able to, nor is it advisable.

Most of them are self explanatory, and should you need further explanation, use MathewW's channel.
For example if you are making a system to launch a projectile from A to B, and it must land at B, a quick look at SuggestProjectileVelocity would reveal that it takes in a start and end, and gives you a velocity

your best way to start learning is to just jump in

otherwise you waste your time. There are built in functions of bp that i havent used, nor will i probably ever use, and by the time i do, i'd probably just look at the source to see what it does.

[oak patio]

It is very worth it, manager objects are very common and extremely useful.

[sharp canopy]

Thank you very much for you answer, it makes a lot of sense.
My problem is that (maybe a bit because of the language barrier) i would never search for "projectile" if i needed to move a bullet, i'd probably search for "movement" or "bullet". As stupid as it sounds, that's currently my biggest barrier 😆 That said i'll just dive in like you suggest, so again thanks a bunch!

[oak patio]

That will come as you grow familiar with not only game dev terms but with engine terminology. They aren't called bullets, as more than bullets can be projectiles, it could be a grenade, or a car being launched.

[sharp canopy]

is that UE-specific terminology, or is it used in a more general way across engines?

[dire oriole]

Hey guys!
Does anyone know why UE4 might be crashing on me whenever I try to save an animation sequence?

I keep running into this crash and I really need to find a fix for it. I am working on some previz in unreal and am working on an animation sequence with a bunch of characters and animations. I've been working on this project for a while without many issues.

Recently however, I have been getting consistent crashes when working on sequences. It occurs whenever I try to save the sequence or if it auto-saves. It doesn't happen every time I try to save, but I would say 90% of the time.

Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution?

I’m in desperate need of a fix….

[shrewd barn]

hi how did you fix it?

[oak patio]

It's real world terminology. Projectile motion in physics is not just a game thing or an unreal thing.

If you throw something at someone, it's a projectile, if you shoot a bullet, projectile, a rock pinging off towards something, projectile

how do i check if an enemy is already spawned in the level? is there a node for that?

I have an actor with an overlap event that spawns an enemy and assigns patrol points for it, each copy of this event has its own patrol points, this works fine, however I'm trying to make it so that when the enemy has already been spawned in another event of this type, the patrol points will simply get replaced, for this latter part i just clear the array that contains the patrol points and assign new ones, yet idk how to verify if the enemy has already been spawned to do so

[thin tendon]

When your enemy is spawned you can just save it to an array of spawn actors and then check if it is valid. For your player just save a reference on begin play or shortly after begin play then also do a valid check for that.

[thin tendon]

There isn't really a channel just for generic errors. But you will find the guys in #cpp the most helpful for this stuff. But typically errors tell you what the problem is.

It is unlikely that UE4 will receive any updates now there is a new engine version.

But UE5 use SDK 25 and Google play store will use SDK 30

[ebon geode]

Google Play Store with their annoying required updates really blows my mind >_<

you mean i check for if valid after i spawn him not at the beginning of the event?

[thin tendon]

When you go to use the reference to the player. Just check first if it is valid.

[plush yew]

no i mean for the enemy

cuz i dont want him to spawn twice when i overlap with the event

if it's been already spawned i just need it to switch the patrol points

[thin tendon]

Sorry I had to read back through. Without seeing what your code looks like. Its like this. Your issue is you need to keep track of the AI you spawned? Now you could store this information on the actor you use to spawn or create another actor to handle this info. Kind of like population control. When you spawn the AI. You store a reference to it. This way as you need to you can check if it is still valid. Do this if it is still valid. Do that if it is not. Make sense?

[plush yew]

i did this but the patrol points aren't getting updated

the enemy doesn't get spawned again so i guess it knows it's already been spawned now

[thin tendon]

Well you can use a technique called breadcrumbing. Its a technique where programmers will leave a trail of alerts to notify when a bit of code hits a certain point. In this case you would put in print string commands. That for example say " AI is valid skip spawn" , "AI is not valid, spawning new AI". The idea is you will figure out where your problem is by knowing how far your code reads.

[plush yew]

hmm great idea

i'll try it out and see

I am having an issue with the viewport in Unreal 4 where should i make my post?

The situation is It seems like the viewport is locked or something. I cannot select any of the actors. I can select them from the World Outliner, but not from the viewport. I have restarted Unreal multiple times. I even checked different saves for the same project and get the same problem. Opening up a new project does allow me to use the viewport as intended. Do not really want to redo my whole project from scratch tho.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[grim ore]

maybe show what happens when you click on something? I assume you tried this in a new map with say just the floor in that same project?

[rigid mesa]

I just opened a new level and it seems i can place things but cannot move them at all

I have 4 saves for this one project and all of them have this "locked" viewport

I was able to select only a BP but not any brush actors

but still cannot move the object

if I try clicking on any brush, nothing happens.

[grim ore]

try changing your viewport settings in the top right, like disabling snapping to make sure thats not it. also you appear to have another settings next to rotation I have not seen before that is on

[rigid mesa]

the one next to rotation says 2D, allows you to work in 2D mode. never used it

unchecked snapping and did not do anything

I don't know if this is normal or not but the buttons at the top right grey out when i move away and brighten when i get close?

[grim ore]

you didnt change your near clip plane did you?

[rigid mesa]

was at 10 had the issue, changed it to 0 still have the issue

[grim ore]

the issue is at 0

it should be on 10 and you have to restart to let it apply

well, an issue can be at 0, it should stay at 10 but it wont apply till a restart

i did that yesterday, will try again before I reinstall unreal

[grim ore]

if you can make a new project and it works, then reinstalling probably wont help since this is project related

[rigid mesa]

i am just trying everything so I dont have to rebuild the whole thing from scratch

[grim ore]

yep set near clip plane back to 10 and restart the project and see what happens. It also looks like you have game mode on since all your icons are hidden?

[rigid mesa]

near plane did not fix it, changed back to 10 and restarted everything

game mode? which icons are you referring to?

[grim ore]

well in that screenshot what do you have selected?

I guess it could be the background

[rigid mesa]

that is a small BP powerup

BP is the only thing i can select. and then i cannot do anything but scale them, no movement nothing

[grim ore]

usually there is an icon in the viewport showing its a blueprint, which I dont see thats why I was mentioning game mode

and I guess its called game view lol

[rigid mesa]

oh didn't know sorry. game mode is off tho

[grim ore]

might have to consider migrating all of the project to another new project since you said new projects work fine

[rigid mesa]

how do i do that?

[grim ore]

you can select your map for example, right click, asset actions, migrate and then choose a new project

[rigid mesa]

i can look it up. if that is the best solution and make it so i do not have to rebuild the whole thing.. i am game

[grim ore]

its hard to give any more ideas since we cant see more of the project, the one screenshot doesnt really show anything

[rigid mesa]

lol, i understand but that is exactly what I am looking at. I can take a screen of the whole window

attempting to click on any brush yields nothing

[grim ore]

if you open up the map that came with that template, then select the player character, can it move?

[rigid mesa]

clicking on a BP is selectable but cannot move actor

this map, I made. I placed all the blocks and I can still "play" the game

If I hit play i can play all the way through where i have completed so far.

[grim ore]

yep so, the map that came with the template, is it broke as well?

[rigid mesa]

sorry, how do i open that one again..

my brain is fried

[grim ore]

it should be in the 2dSideScrollerBP folder under Maps

[rigid mesa]

nope it is broken, and i think i over wrote it

that one opens up with a "BP background" selected and cannot select anything else

[grim ore]

looks like you did. ok can you manually move them in the details panel? click on an actor, and drag left or right on one of the values. you can mouse over and drag the X left or right for example

[rigid mesa]

yes i can move things utilizing that

cannot using the arrows in the viewport

[grim ore]

I would say make sure under settings these match

but, that shouldnt let you stop the moving part just selecting

the last I could think of is you locked them but.. that would be weird. you can select all of them, right click in the outliner, and go down to check

if that was the case, moving over the arrows would show a NO icon

[rigid mesa]

holy shitaki mushrooms.. it works

translucent and transform widget were not checked

[grim ore]

that makes no sense since I saw it in the screenshot lol

[rigid mesa]

still have no idea how it got that way.. but.. if it works i am happy

[grim ore]

yep, super duper weird

[rigid mesa]

omg i can work again lol

Thanks so much

unless maybe since i checked those boxes it did a refresh of the viewport and fixed it?

[grim ore]

maybe, definitely weird

[sleek fable]

Guys can someone tell me how to add more points to spline mesh actor, I'm literally lost

The issue is I don't know if everyone have that problem, I created a blueprint actor for my project that works as a spline tool, when hold Alt and move around a spline point and now it started working, strange

[crimson vale]

i have a console command to give the player an item, how should i write UClass*?

[crimson vale]

yeah that's how you add a point, hold alt and move it

[sleek fable]

Yeah but if you drag and place spline mesh actor directly in the level you cannot add more points to the spline mesh, honestly creating a BP Actor for it makes it more procedural and useful but thanks anyways everyone have great day or night

[crimson vale]

yes you can

[sleek fable]

I couldn't man

[crimson vale]

just select the spline inside the actor while it's on the level and then add a point

[sleek fable]

I'm using 4.26.2

[crimson vale]

then you can click on a point and hold alt

it works the same way on ue 4.26 and ue5 don't worry

[sleek fable]

It works in this no problem what I mean is

It can work we're together on that no problem

But my project don't let me

[crimson vale]

add a point to the spline bp ?

[sleek fable]

Nope adding point to the Spline Mesh Actor directly in the level, not as a bp actor

BP actor is fine

[crimson vale]

you can select the individual points?

[crimson vale]

oh okay

looks like it'sn ot possible to add points to a spline mesh actor

however you can make a bp_spline with a spline component and use it instead

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/how-do-i-add-point-control-point-to-a-spline-mesh-actors-spline/66545/3

[sleek fable]

@crimson vale yup I created a bp actor for using spline now everything is fine, thanks for the effort btw have a good one

[quasi lotus]

how do i fix this?

I'm new to UE & Game dev, would appreciate help 🙂

[rich hornet]

strictly speaking that's not an error, it's a warning the AnimMontage class has put into console to give you an idea of what's going on under the hood.

it's warning you that your currently playing Montage (called bossyatk) is meant to be used with one skeleton asset (skeletons on characters, is what a Montage animates..) and is currently being used with a different skeleton

the one it intends to be used iwth is called SK_Manneqiun_UE4_WithWeapon_Skeleton.
the one it is currently running on and throwing this warning into console is called
SK_UE5_Skeleton

the guy who wrote the code to make Montages work, put this warning in.. problaby because it makes your montage work unpredicatably

use your bossyatk montage with the correct skeleton asset (probably the correct character too) and it'll go away

Just had a general question, With the life of steam support for windows 7 ending and already having my first game project in a stable spot to continue on Im afraid to upgrade the system when needed as I have heard horror stories of it corrupting data from some applications which at this point in development I cant have happen, I have already went to making a backup of my game but its clearly going to be necessary to upgrade the OS, In the current state of windows will it be safe to do so?

[rich hornet]

you have a full backup of your game code & assets?

upgrading windows is a reasonably common thing to do, i can't forsee any particular problems

your hardware is stable? and windows 10 will likely support all the hardware you have

[sage coral]

I copied the whole games folder from the ue4 projects to a external ssd

[sage coral]

Good to know and thank you for letting me know 🙂 messing with the os of the pc is always scary for me as if it fails I dont have a fall back plan for now that is so the ssd is the safe guard

[rich hornet]

read up the instructions step-by-step on upgrading windows before you do it and think about what you might need

if you want to be extra-extra-safe you could download a copy of the windows repair imaage thing (i forget its name) onto a usb stick

[sage coral]

running on a windows 7 elite book laptop with the windows 10 media tool to detect the pcs code

[rich hornet]

so fi the install goes wrong you can fix it

but hosntely it's rare in my personal experience, for problems in an upgrade

[sage coral]

Iv only ever had it fail once and this was because I think I messed up when windows 10 first came out I really didnt like it and tried to call it back to windows 7 since than I only really messed with windows 7 and installed 10 on friends pcs that needed it cause it was free at the time

[rich hornet]

if you know 7, 10 should feel familiar

when you get to the "other side" of your install journey, run O&O ShutUp10 and turn off the options you dont like

[sage coral]

does windows 10 affect anything between defered and forward shading? I currently use Forward as it runs faster and I can fake alot of the nice details so you really dont even see a difference in my opinion other than fps speeds

[rich hornet]

it doesn't change anything unreal-related, to my knowledge

definitely not forward and deferred shading

[sage coral]

Perfect 😄 My biggest concern was compatibility issues

[sage coral]

@rich hornet At 75% on the download so I guess I will see you all on the other side of the OS world as long as everything goes well, Thanks for the help and advice tho its very much appreciated 🙂

[rich hornet]

i didnt do much, you did the backup (the important part), gl!

surprised and not surprised that win7 is already end-of-line for support lol

[sage coral]

@rich hornet You helped reasure me 🙂

And I agree Im surpirsed its already at the end of its life esspecially cause its still a popular OS among devs with its already large list of pre existing programs and compatibility with them

I do feel in time the windows 7 community will make mods to make it more or less like windows 10 but as windows 7 but in the time that would happen I still need to move forward as a dev and cant be held back by an OS

[sage coral]

@rich hornet Update worked and game runs fine without issues, thanks for the reassurance in time I was going to run into the windows update anways so better to get it out of the way now that to wait incase is causes issues in the future. 🙂

[rich hornet]

glad it worked out, im going to dip soon so good luck with whatever's next for you

Hi, what's wrong with my glass material (Blender). Not visible in UE... Any ideas?

[sage coral]

Having a weird issue where my third person character spawns outside of the car when they are placed inside it, Tried turning off collisions for both the player and the car in the scene but I get the same results, Need it more for just a cinematic but to also use the third person character as this loads the players cosmetics

[oak patio]

Blender materials aren't translatable.

Solid colours and basic textures are fine. Anything with nodes ain't going over

Because they're 2 different shader languages

[sage coral]

Just look up a simple glass material tutorial on youtube, from the look of it you already have the glass and metal assigned to 2 different materials, just go into the mesh and change the material to the new glass material once you have made it and it should look fine and glass like

[round salmon]

I was hoping it would be something like that, im more so crossing my fingers that its going to be something that will try to work WITH me rather than AGAINST me

Hey, just wondering if anyone knows how to make the engine run better in multi user editing, there is me and one other working on a project that we have not long started and it seems to crash for no reason, every time we save or try to play the level it just crashed and there is barely anything in the world, i have done it on unreal engine 4.7 before and i had no issues but this time i have done it on unreal 5.1 and i cant do anything really

[oak patio]

Just use source control. Multi user editing is a bugfest

[autumn flame]

Multi user editing was built to run under source control anyways, so good idea to have it no matter what

Hey all, I'm currently working on a small project for college and I'm in the process of making the UI - The problem I'm having is i want to change part of a static text widget based on a variable
For instance - "Cake Pieces Found: 0/3" -> "Cake Pieces Found: 1/3"
But I'm unsure how to go about it, and my friend is under the impression you can't, and need to make a separate text box
Any help would be great thanks

[grim ore]

so you want that text to change?

assuming you have one widget that says "Cake Pieces Found: 0/3" and you want it to change, you would change it completely to get your result. No reason to have more than 1 if you dont want, you can, or you can just use 1

A Textblock Widget holds text, that text can be whatever you want. You can create the text as needed and change it as needed, look at the Format Text node for an easy way to do what you want

eject out while playing in editor and try and find them, maybe its not where you expect it to be or its rotated

[neon badger]

I managed to do it! I found a way to do something similar online using the append node and adapted it, thanks for your response though I probably would have left it otherwise

[grim ore]

yep append works as well, I just like format text since it makes it "prettier" to read to a coder

[gray oxide]

how?

[grim ore]

its one of the buttons on the toolbar when you are playing, you can use shift-f1 to get the mouse cursor then the eject is the last one I think? looks like an eject button

[neon badger]

Honestly I had a look at the node beforehand and was a little daunted by the mention of string tables and such - I'll definitely check it out at a later date when I have more time though 👍

[grim ore]

super weird, it shouldnt be like that. It should be you make the input "Cake Pieces Found: {Pieces}/3" and then it would update and add a new pin called "Pieces" you would just plug your value into

[neon badger]

🤦‍♀️ I'm dumb, i looked at the drop down instead of pluggin the variable into it

[grim ore]

im guessing you might have looked at the localization stuff

[neon badger]

One last thing before i head off for the night, is there a place to report bugs for UE4? Me and my friend have been getting a similar UI bug where things like the menu shown would appear for a fraction of a second then disappear - the only way to fix it is to restart UE4

[neon badger]

Yup 😅

[grim ore]

@neon badgerthe forums or answer hub, but if its 4.27 there are no further updates coming so any bugs wont get fixed

and I think that menu issue is a known one but its usually not the engines fault, its a driver issue or overlay software like msi afterburner causing it

[neon badger]

Ah alrighty, thank you

I'll have a look at my drivers and such - Just a bit weird because it only starts after it's been open a while

I'd use UE5 if i could but the college needs to upgrade the PC's before we're allowed to

[thin tendon]

My understanding of it is this. "Set Current Language" sets the current language (for localization) within your game. "Set Current Language and Locale" Does the same thing but additionally sets the locale (for internationalization). Which means it also changes the language settings within the editor or the engine once the game is published (Not just your app/ game).

[thin tendon]

Could be a post process or some camera setting.

I think im missing something very easy to spot

When i replace my static mesh with the Cone, i cant overlap and it adds coins to my HUD. It works with the cone but not my custom static mesh

your coin has no collision, which that screenshot tells you, so how should the overlap work?

Yeh just realized that now

Im trying to add

But its still saying 0 collision prims

[grim ore]

how are you trying to add? and did you save

[marble rapids]

Tried adding box collision

yh

[grim ore]

maybe show your static mesh editor, but adding collision and saving should work.

[grim ore]

yep its not showing your collision primitive

go to collision at the top and add one

[marble rapids]

is this fine?

[grim ore]

no

thats not adding collision, or adding a collision primitive

the collision menu at the top has options to add collision primitives, like a box

[vagrant harness]

im kinda new to unreal

i was just wondering how do i move a capsule collider?

it only shows the transform

[brazen egret]

Does anyone know why the color picker window gets automatically destroyed but only in the env light mixer?

[brazen egret]

i dont think you can move it because it's probably a root of the blueprint

yeah

im sure that's the reason

if you want to move the collider you would have to change the root

but i think a better way would be to just adjust the model you have there

[vagrant harness]

the issue is the collider is below the Z so its making the mesh look like its hovering

[oak patio]

so move the mesh downwards

to be at the bottom of the capsule

[brazen egret]

Exactly

[vagrant harness]

i did it still hovers

[rare hawk]

That shouldnt be an issue, its at 0 by default and u cant move the collider. Maybe check your mesh collision instead

hey, so im trying to make a vr game atm and cant get the mesh to be throwable and fall to the ground with physics, i coppied the default unreal throwable cube and changed the static mesh to one of mine but it just falls through the floor

[grim ore]

does your static mesh have collision on it? not the presets, not the settings, but actual collision primitives?

i managed to fix it, i didnt realise that i needed a simplified collision box

Does anyone know the reason for this?
