That's generally how that goes. 😛

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

Why am I allowed to set the class to Actor in Spawn from class BP, when it proceeds to not spawn anything without error

#

Spent an hour or two debugging stuff yesterday - that was the cause

#

I just wanted to spawn some empty actors 3:

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

Actor is almost certainly abstract.

#

The drop down for actors to spawn is almost certainly nothing more than a drop down for anything that can be put in a TSubclassOf<AActor>

#

For what it's worth...

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:39 AM

#

In-editor I can place 'actor' though

#

Or is that a sneaky subclass which

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

Opening up VS right now

dawn linden Jan 24, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

It;s not actually marked abstract, just had a look

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

The empty actor in the left hand panel

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

Huh, weird.

#

Probably some particular mechanism that needs to be able to spawn plain old actors and then manually attach components.

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:41 AM

#

That's what I thought 😕

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:42 AM

#

Interesting. Huh.

#

Any log output when you try to spawn a plain old AActor?

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

Oh and will we ever get any kind of multithreading stuff in BP? Maybe as experimental setting to people that don't know what to do don't touch it?

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

Wonder if it isn't because AActor has absolutely NO root component at all.

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

Nope

#

Not that I recall

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

I can't answer that, but if you ask me? Fuck the hell no.

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:43 AM

#

That'd make sense

vale osprey Jan 24, 2018, 8:44 AM

#

I don’t think it has a root component

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:44 AM

#

But then I'm placing something that's not Actor from that menu on the left

#

Which is misleading >.>

#

Because that's the reason I thought it should work

dawn linden Jan 24, 2018, 8:44 AM

#

Actually that is something that I was wondering about. Not that I want BP multithreading at all- but the fact the Marketplace has accepted at least 2 plugins offering it. As far as I understand, there is no way in hell that that is safe to do...

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

It's pretty unstable

#

;3

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

Blueprints are bad enough at being some horrible amalgam of C++ turned in to visual scripting but also something else entirely meant to be easier to understand, half written from scratch, half converted from ye ol' Kismet, and half (yes, we're now at 3 halves) translation of C++.

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

Oh that's some fun background

#

Yay Kismet

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

You can see it in the source. K2 = Kismet 2.0.

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

Of course it is

#

Solved another slumbering question I had

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:46 AM

#

And the bytecode that BP compiles to? It's some grandchild of Unrealscript.

#

BP = Kismet 2.0 and Unrealscript reengineered

#

You get all kinds of weirdness because of these things.

#

Like the fact that BP doesn't support const. Except it sort of does. Kind of.

#

Like, BPReadOnly is sort of like const... but not really.

#

And sometimes you can end up with real, legit const in BP through some complex edge case of native code exposure to BP.

fierce tulip Jan 24, 2018, 8:48 AM

#

i always hated kismet, especially because I purchased a book about it that was so poorly written it drove me nuts

#

unclear images, tutorials that where only explained 50%

#

and worse

keen birch Jan 24, 2018, 8:49 AM

#

I love BP, honestly

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:49 AM

#

I never got to mess with Kismet much in the UE3 days. Instead, I got to try to design AI for the jungle bosses in Smite using a bunch of weird broken bullshit via a web interface that only ran on IE6 and had to be exported to a flat file and wasn't under version control in any fashion.

fierce tulip Jan 24, 2018, 8:50 AM

#

hehe, still beats the AI in unreal

#

(first one)

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:50 AM

#

Too far back for me. I dabbled in scripting and such with Tribes 2 when I was like... 11? 12?

#

Messed with UDK sometime after that.

fierce tulip Jan 24, 2018, 8:51 AM

#

hehe, you youngsters

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 8:53 AM

#

Hey, I tried. 😛 Dad picked up Visual Studio .NET from a computer show (read: basically a real life software piracy market) and a Torque 3D game engine license for me when I was around that age, as well as a 3DS MAX student license.

#

Naturally, I did not figure out how the hell to use VS at all, nor any C++ for Torque 3D, but I did learn to use 3DS MAX somewhat to do some 3d modeling.

fierce tulip Jan 24, 2018, 8:54 AM

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 9:03 AM

#

I never had issues with Logitech mice.

wary wave Jan 24, 2018, 9:03 AM

#

I've had two B100s in about 12 years

fierce tulip Jan 24, 2018, 9:03 AM

#

not enough buttons :p

paper kernel Jan 24, 2018, 9:03 AM

#

all logitech mice, left button goes first

#

because the cheap plastic inside pressing the switch gets dented

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 9:04 AM

#

I imagine that is strictly true of basically all mice, to be fair. But obviously you mean it "goes" relatively quickly.

floral heart Jan 24, 2018, 9:05 AM

#

Had a G7, braided cord bent and gave out.

paper kernel Jan 24, 2018, 9:05 AM

#

I still bought G900 tho 🤔

wary wave Jan 24, 2018, 9:06 AM

#

braided cords are a PITA regardless of brand tbh

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 9:07 AM

#

I got braided mice, keyboard, headphones, and USB cords for years now without issue. 🤷 What am I doing differently?

floral heart Jan 24, 2018, 9:08 AM

#

I think the G7 was recalled, but I didn't hear about it til much later.

Also had a super cheap gigabyte mouse. Rubber thumb pad fell off... the heat and pressure destroyed the glue! And the middle mouse button stopped working, so there goes the left button theory.

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 9:08 AM

#

Worst mice I've had were the Cyborg Rats.

#

Which are/were Saitek/MadCatz... so no wonder.

#

Now, interestingly... Logitech purchased Saitek from Mad Catz about a year or two ago now.

surreal viper Jan 24, 2018, 9:10 AM

#

I always wondered why do all my headphones have such a short life span, then one day I stood up from computer, walked away and just realized the reason

#

seriously how can normal people always remember to take it down before walking away?

#

maybe I should buy a wireless one

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 9:10 AM

#

@surreal viper And that is why I dropped fat cash on a Sennheiser wireless headset (no mic on it though)

floral heart Jan 24, 2018, 9:11 AM

#

Need a headset where the circuitry is attached to a spring! Or a magnetic usb port.

fierce tulip Jan 24, 2018, 9:11 AM

#

remember the old ball mice

#

and the filth it accumilated

floral heart Jan 24, 2018, 9:12 AM

Still more fun cleaning those than desperately trying to blow lint out of a laser mouse's optics.

#

can't find file for asset load error

#

I guess i can just ignore it, but... why?

livid haven Jan 24, 2018, 9:18 AM

#

I'm just going to blame BP.

surreal viper Jan 24, 2018, 9:19 AM

#

I guess there is still some reference inside the BP to the interface deep down and there is just no way I could find to remove it, meh

paper kernel Jan 24, 2018, 9:54 AM

#

try doing a duplicate, the remove the old one and replace the references with the duplicate

#

and obviously, do a backup before trying it

this seems pretty basic, but is it possible to scale multiple actors from a single reference point?

#

Right now, I'm scaling down multiple actors and they all scale relative to their center.

#

resulting is actors not touching each other

@mortal gale You should switch to Windows, much easier

I prefer Linux, I'll do whatever possible to stay away from Windows.

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 4:08 AM

#

No need to use git in windows, as you have precompiled binaries

mortal gale Jan 25, 2018, 4:09 AM

#

But the gitdependencies, from the gitdependencies script, pulls in a bunch of crud, and on linux, it excludes windows files by default.

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 4:10 AM

I mean you don't need to compile the source

That's an old kernel?

mortal gale Jan 25, 2018, 4:17 AM

Nvidia's kernel modules headers are dickered, they don't work with newer kernels.

I build my kernel from source.

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 4:17 AM

#

lol

#

Why?

mortal gale Jan 25, 2018, 4:18 AM

#

Just because, it runs better, less bloat, less crapification, runs faster, due to native optimizations, and takes less RAM.

#

And my specific device support.

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 4:19 AM

Performance improvements are negligible

So you don't know

mortal gale Jan 25, 2018, 4:21 AM

#

Well, it was technically faster thane the previous arch-based distro called Manjaro, I get about 13266 in GB4 after, vs 12k something before, and overall system usability is faster.

#

Probably due to NUMA crap.

I prefer to not have a shit-ton of modules loaded, which is how most stock kernels load drivers, I prefer them built into the kernel.

mortal gale Jan 25, 2018, 4:27 AM

queen arch Jan 25, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

wait, I can't do negative angles?

paper kernel Jan 25, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

you can

queen arch Jan 25, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

Is there a tutorial about angles and mesh oriantation and stuff?

paper kernel Jan 25, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

is it a static mesh?

#

or just change the import settings of the mesh

queen arch Jan 25, 2018, 2:11 PM

#

it is a static mesh, converted from bsp

paper kernel Jan 25, 2018, 2:14 PM

#

or set empty scene component as actor root component, then you can adjust the mesh rotation in the details

cloud cobalt Jan 25, 2018, 2:15 PM

#

@queen arch Either tweak your mesh, or just use RightVector and UpVector instead

#

A few years of 3D and you'll give up any hope of a common convention for that stuff across 3D packages

queen arch Jan 25, 2018, 2:16 PM

#

I did find a work around... I'm just looking for a tutorial so I can understand that stuff!

#

Because I solved this almost by chance

cloud cobalt Jan 25, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

UE4 has forward = X, up = Z, right = Y

#

Look at your mesh for the XYZ axis

frosty bloom Jan 25, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

So, this is just a long shot on my part. Asking in case someone just have the magical answer heh.

I got an InventorySystem with all Items based on ItemDataStruct and I use it in about 30 different c++ classes. When looting an Item i get this warning LogUObjectBase:Warning: NULL object.
The item contains all info it's supposed to have and so forth so where would I start debugging it? I want to remove the warning

wary wave Jan 25, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

there'll likely be more to the warning than that?

frosty bloom Jan 25, 2018, 2:36 PM

#

I also understand the warning, it's just kinda hard pin pointing it. All names, meshes, displays, tooltips, and such have the correct information.

#

That is the thing, this warning pops in the log but that is truly all there is to it

#

Urgh. I might know how to follow it now, stupid me didn't do the 5 min googling. Sorry about the Spam.

#

That warning is because a IsValidLowLevel() somewhere is returning !this. I know which functions i trigger on looting so ill just have to follow them in the code.

 {
     if( !this )
     {
         UE_LOG(LogUObjectBase, Warning, TEXT("NULL object") );
         return false;```

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 2:41 PM

#

Don't use IsValidLowLevel

frosty bloom Jan 25, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

How come?

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 2:42 PM

#

You don't need it?

#

And your warning is because you're calling it on a nullptr

#

Which shouldn't happen

#

(but you probably already knew that 😐 )

frosty bloom Jan 25, 2018, 2:46 PM

#

Yeah, that's alright tho, ill find it in no time. I'm reading up on isvalidlowlevel right now, it does seem like i can manage without it.
It has been working out fine though, throughout the code but then again. Even hacky code Works (Doesn't mean you want it like that). Appreciate you pointing it out 😛

how does it know to move forward?

Guys, quick question. The Foliage FILL tool doesn't seem to have any modifiable parameter. You click a mesh and it will add a random X amount of foliage actors, or shift+click and it will delete all of them from it. Is there a way to change the amount of foliage it places in any way?!

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:17 PM

#

@silver crown do you have actual stats?

#

precisely, how much per frame

azure shore Jan 25, 2018, 6:20 PM

#

@grim ore what do you mean? it was in the area with the other inputs, and as it is it works fine but I just wanna make it swim in the direction of the camera whilst underwater

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

@frank escarp The issue I have is that running the profiler is extremely laggy

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:27 PM

#

do you know about std::chrono?

#

you can do "simple" benchmarking like that

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

Ah 😉

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

essentially you get a "now" clock at the start, a "now" clock after the calculations, and check the difference

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

Will do that now

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:28 PM

#

    auto start = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
// slow stuff

//profile end
    auto end = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
    auto elapsed = std::chrono::duration_cast<std::chrono::nanoseconds>(end - start);

#

this is in nanoseconds

#

divide by 1.000.000 to get the miliseconds

#

GEngine->AddOnScreenDebugMessage(-1, 1, FColor::Green, "valid hits:  " +FString::FromInt(validmesh) + "  Out of:  " + FString::FromInt(iterations) + " Iterations. Chrono says: " + FString::SanitizeFloat( (elapsed.count()) / 1000000.f));

#

this is not good for very fast stuff. there is stuff that can take less than nanoseconds, and there is some stuff that can change

#

but for something like your stuff

#

its a good choice

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:30 PM

#

Actually it's not that easy to profile

#

But I'll try

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

if its fully multihread yeah its an issue

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

Like a thread to create the new octree

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:31 PM

#

its not as simple as "slow stuff in the middle of a check"

#

but you can calculate how long it takes for the thread to calculate everything

#

like, your mesh update time per chunk

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

It's 95% values computation

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

95% values?

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

So not really interesting, as it depends on the world generator

#

Like get the voxel densities and materials

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

ah

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:32 PM

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Like obviously with an interpreted graph it will be really slow

#

But if the graph is converted to C++, it can be 10 times faster

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:34 PM

#

you can do a "stat" style graph

#

like the stat unit, or stat gpu ones

#

they are a set of macros that seem easy to build

#

ill try to have some of that stuff, i want "deep" stats

#

specially for PS4

#

becouse then i can have stats show in the profilers

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:35 PM

#

btw I guess it's a big issue if profiling is broken with the plugin?

#

Like 5s freezes quite often

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

The cost on the game thread?

frank escarp Jan 25, 2018, 6:39 PM

yes

essentially i ask "can i run this in vr"

#

not for my next game, but i would like to try some shanenigans anyway

Trying again, because the first was buried without responses ;( The Foliage FILL tool doesn't seem to have any modifiable parameter. You click a mesh and it will add a random X amount of foliage actors, or shift+click and it will delete all of them from it. Is there a way to change the amount of foliage it places in any way?!

silver crown Jan 25, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

@frank escarp You'll have to try 😐

#

It depends on too many factors

#

Like how fast you're moving, how far collisions are computed, the LOD profile chosen...

#

But for basic usage, it should be nearly null

keen birch Jan 25, 2018, 6:42 PM

@midnight yoke Wouldn't know because I've never used it, but I'm guessing you'll have to use the per-foliage-type controls for that

silk torrent Jan 25, 2018, 9:39 PM

So is the PlayerController spawned from the PlayerStart actor?

keen birch Jan 25, 2018, 9:40 PM

#

A PlayerController controls a Pawn

weary basalt Jan 25, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

Any PlayerController is spawned by the GameMode when an Player first connects.

keen birch Jan 25, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

So if you have a pawn, set to be posessed by the player

#

Your playercontroller will hook up to that

#

Afaik a controller is pointless by itself

weary basalt Jan 25, 2018, 9:41 PM

#

Its not “pointless” its just limited in ability

silk torrent Jan 25, 2018, 9:42 PM

I'm trying to go with the method we talked about earlie @weary basalt . I'm getting weird behavior of the PlayerController's location being stuck with the Pawn's location when it moves around, making the camera the PlayerController owns move around as well.

You cannot read uassets outside of the editor

cloud cobalt Jan 25, 2018, 10:07 PM

Not unless you enable nativization (which may be the case)

But baked assets are not meant for use

Textures are compressed, etc

Modding a game you don't have the tools for is orders of magnitude harder than modding a game

You'll basically need to learn reverse engineering, spend years working on creating your own editor etc

Is it possible to make a particle effect but the material/texture used is of 4 particles in 1 image, if that makes sense

#

I could do 4 different materials but I feel theres a better way

fierce tulip Jan 25, 2018, 10:32 PM

#

you can make a flipbook, and use a particlesubUV to choose which one

#

there is also a particle sub-uv node inthe material editor itself where you can set how many horizontal/vertical rows there are and swap between em trough 0-1 value

need to set it up differently

Hey everyone, what do you think would be the more performant solution to detecting actors of a certain type around a character: an AI service that fires sphere or similar traces filtered by actor class, or a volume attached to said character with BeginOverlap and EndOverlap? Or something completely different... It would have to check for actors continuously (meaning not just once).

grim ore Jan 26, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

I would think a sphere trace every X time would be fine for performance issues. Traces are not that bad on performance and most games use them. Determine if you need it to be continuos or not, even 5 times a second should seem fairly instant to the player

tawdry narwhal Jan 26, 2018, 2:04 AM

#

hey thanks. yeah, I guess it would be easier in general to do simple vector math than to have to resort to physx for collisions on those overlap checks

weary basalt Jan 26, 2018, 2:04 AM

#

Traces are relatively inexpensive. You can perform hundreds of them in an single frame and not see any major performance issues

tawdry narwhal Jan 26, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

guess so. the third option would be to cache a list of the type of actors I'm looking for and just iterate over that list w/ a simple distance check

weary basalt Jan 26, 2018, 2:06 AM

#

Honestly an Sphere Volume would probably be better for you.

#

Keeping track of who enters and exists

silver crown Jan 26, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

An octree would probably be the best solution here

#

A bit too complex for the problem though

tawdry narwhal Jan 26, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

@weary basalt you mean with overlaps i.e. physics?

weary basalt Jan 26, 2018, 2:07 AM

#

Yeah using an Sphere Overlap

tawdry narwhal Jan 26, 2018, 2:08 AM

#

yeah the reason I'm cautious with using overlaps is because of physics. and that's because I have no single clue how it does what it does under the hood 😃

#

meant physx sorry

weary basalt Jan 26, 2018, 2:09 AM

#

Its incomprehensable wizardry

#

Just trust in the fact that it works 😛

tawdry narwhal Jan 26, 2018, 2:09 AM

How the heck can i delete this bugged HLOD actor? I've deleted the actor using it but it still hangs forever...do I need to delete all the actors referenced by my broken HLOD and then save, and restart the editor?

weary basalt Jan 26, 2018, 4:48 AM

#

Probably

light thunder Jan 26, 2018, 4:49 AM

#

HLOD's are so undocumented

#

Why do some meshes fail to build? (which means you can't package until you remove them)

#

What is the proper way to delete clusters and their associated meshes...when I do, the cluster count continues higher, so if you delete actors 0-100, when you generate clusters again, you start with actor 101

#

@weary basalt It still doesn't let me delete it

#

You can see in lower right corner NO ACTORS FOUND - I saved and restarted unreal and the reference viewer is still there

by not being able to get impact point properly if initial overlap occurs

kindred viper Jan 26, 2018, 11:09 AM

is it using the built in sphere trace or are you doing a custom one with a sphere mesh?

paper kernel Jan 26, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

built-in

#

I did juggle the idea of custom shape, but I would prefer this to be adjustable

kindred viper Jan 26, 2018, 11:10 AM

#

you could try a custom one and just detach the sphere component and reattach it you see

#

you could also do an initial check to see if the object is within range of the trace bounds and call an event with it or something.

gleaming shore Jan 26, 2018, 7:22 PM

#

If I was to mess around creating a guitar hero/step mania clone would spawning the notes via level sequence be the best option?

gentle ivy Jan 26, 2018, 7:24 PM

#

eh probably not?

#

as you probably want the level itself to just be the background for the game

#

not actually provide game specific logic

#

I'd create a blueprint that spawns it in code in the order you want with delays and etc. Something you can write in easily and customize.

#

then importing a song would be as "easy" as implementing it entirely in BP

#

the other way, the way most games do it is generate notes off of the song itself

#

so you read the wave data and set points in which to spawn notes and different patterns of notes.

#

You can even mix these two methods and have a note system you initial generate off the wave data then let someone edit it a tad to feel better.

gleaming shore Jan 26, 2018, 7:29 PM

#

That's interesting Ill look into it doing it that way, i sort of having a working concept using level sequence it works reletivley well itd just be really time consuming mapping out the songs

gentle ivy Jan 26, 2018, 7:30 PM

#

exactly. Which a level sequence is great for like a prototype or just trying to get the idea of your game out there but it's going to take way to long to manually input all songs by hand

#

I'd probably recommend initial wave data + editing afterwards the most.

I've got little experience with actively reading/manipulating sound data within UE4 but I would say that if you search in C++ for soundcue you can see the underlying code for their basic sound class.

but reading sound data is probably going to be a C++ only thing.

@gentle ivy Linux gaming is such a tiny market share that honestly it isnt even worth targetting

so is Mac gaming really

cursive dirge Jan 26, 2018, 9:29 PM

#

then again, if it's a niche platform, you will get more sales if you look at how many from the userbase will buy it

#

considering there are less games offered there

#

linux starts to have more games now tho

#

as many indie folks want to support it for some odd reason

#

so, I'd guess putting mac support would be more beneficial than linux

#

as linux peeps want things for free anyway

#

too bad most of the mac are toasters

honest rune Jan 26, 2018, 9:30 PM
