I've got a pretty bad error that's causing me a lot of pain. I made a simple change to my player character (adding a widget component) and now every time I eject from the character and click on it in PIE mode my editor crashes. No crash report, no log, just "Unreal Editor stopped working. Debug?". Debugging just pulls up an empty visual studio window. I've tried reverting the C++ AND reverting the blueprint to a 3 day old autosaved version and it's still happening. Does anyone @here have any ideas on what could be causing this or how to salvage the project?

@ruby folio open in raster editor - clamp colors. You could do that in ue4 as well...so far i don't know the way to make binary mask in WM...it does not have such tools unfortunately (maybe, possible with macros)

How do you block Game input entirely w/o setting UI Only?

▶ Play video

#

movement and look input is disabled but things like left/right click still shoot characters weapon

#

and i can't even drag a widget w/o first clicking once

next badger Mar 9, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

@hushed monolith if you debugging with VS it should make a crash catch...are you sure you've hooked the editor?

grim ore Mar 9, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

easiest way is to just set a "is UI up" bool that you can toggle when you put the UI up and have that flag checked on all input. might not be the best but super simple.

#

but the question would be if you arent setting it to UI only then don't you want the game input to work?

rocky portal Mar 9, 2018, 7:47 PM

#

UI only is clunky as far as i remember

#

will input actions still register in UI?

#

UI Only seemed to be more for things like Main Menus

grim ore Mar 9, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

input actions will not correct

rocky portal Mar 9, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

i use input action listeners or w/e u call them for certain things

graceful grove Mar 9, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

Setting a flag seems like best case scenario

rocky portal Mar 9, 2018, 7:48 PM

#

i technically could just do that as well

#

to consume the input on the UI

#

Flag would sore sure work but i was hoping for a different solution than that

grim ore Mar 9, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

yep there is always the option when the UI is up to do the listeners and have it absorb the input in the UI before it gets to the player

rocky portal Mar 9, 2018, 7:49 PM

#

let me try that to see if it fixes the other issue (needing to click once before drag would detect)

graceful grove Mar 9, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

If you only need to prevent mouse input from reaching the viewport then you can override all mouse events on the inventory widget (assuming inventory widget has a canvas panel spanning the screen) and set all overrided mouse events to reply "*handled (duh)"

grim ore Mar 9, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

maybe setting the focus to the UI might help with that one as well

rocky portal Mar 9, 2018, 7:50 PM

#

I tried focus once (probably incorrectly) and it didnt' fix it

ok that fixes the shooting issue

@rocky portal you only want to disable clicking input?

rocky portal Mar 9, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

well also when i close the UI

#

it's still like im using the UI

#

cant control character again w/o clicking mouse once

cinder iron Mar 9, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

seems like a focus problem

#

those are easy to fix, but tiresoming to track.

rocky portal Mar 9, 2018, 7:57 PM

#

fixed the one exiting UI by adding Set Focus to game viewport on UI close

#

but the other still exists

#

after opening UI...have to click widget once before i can drag it

hushed monolith Mar 9, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

@next badger I am not sure I've hooked the editor but also I'm not sure the editor is still running by the time VS has started. How would I go about hooking the editor?

This is a terrible place to discuss this, lol

cinder iron Mar 9, 2018, 7:58 PM

You have to set the focus to whatever relevant widget you want then

Recompile, or fix your code and recompile

PhysX itself can't be seperated from Unreal, it's too deep. Projectile physics, character physics, vehicle physics, all of it. Unreal has nothing without it. Destruction though, Blast has made PhysX obsolete, it's orders of magnitude faster.

@grim sinew blast is destruction library, not simulation one...blast meant to replace APEX, not Physx

grim sinew Mar 10, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

Well, PhysX destruction exists, and I never really considered APEX to be anything more than an addon for PhysX.

#

Everything APEX does is just faster PhysX

next badger Mar 10, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

APEX is a framework based on Physx SDK

#

it includes APEX Destruction...that was replaced by Blast

#

also, seems like Blast is lacking support bonding...

#

The walls in the tests are not joined by extended support (a feature of APEX). Since this feature is (by design) absent from Blast, we turned off extended support to get a valid comparison.

grim sinew Mar 10, 2018, 1:09 AM

#

Yeah, there's a blast build out already you can mess with. I did some tests with it, the only "supports" I found were these glue volumes you could make that froze the bits they touched.

#

It's also crashtastic, probably because it was the first release they had with it.

like so my character is measured 150 cm in 3DS Max but i want my character to be scaled at 180 cm, should i do this in Max or should i import it to UE4 then scale it there?

grim sinew Mar 10, 2018, 1:42 AM

Better to do it before import

#

Especially for characters since animations can sometimes not like being scaled

oh right animations will do get messed up if i scaled my character on UE4

📎 unknown.png

next badger Mar 10, 2018, 2:00 AM

#

@steel meadow if you're going to use ue4 skeleton, it's very desirable to have a character with same proportions upon import. otherwise you have to retarget all animations in ue to your small skeleton and then scale up the result...

#

if your target, however is smaller version of ue4 skeleton, it's simpler to make it similar to ue4 skeleton (180cm) and scale down later...

#

in both cases it's desirable to have character as close as possible to the original size of the skeleton...
it's not the case when you going to make own animations or planning to retarget them all anyway

i tried putting collision on weapon mesh but couldn't find anything that was useful

just think of it as a visual improvement

latent moth Mar 10, 2018, 1:17 PM

sometimes you are proned at the edge of a mountain cliff so it doesn't make sense clamping

#

unless of course i start ray-tracing the shit out of it 😄

cinder iron Mar 10, 2018, 1:19 PM

#

you can always look what battlefield did back in the day

#

I don't remember how they clamped the pitch

But I remember not being able to aim down 2 much while being on that position

How will this affect my shooting logic?

#

a 15 FPS player should shoot the same amount of bullets as a 60FPS player in the same time.
(Not working in Multiplayer, just to clarify)

dawn linden Mar 10, 2018, 1:56 PM

#

The timer will always be triggered the same number of times. But if your FPS is low/fire rate is high, then you may want to do some extra handling to prevent multiple bullets being fired in from exactly the same location/direction.

sudden agate Mar 10, 2018, 2:01 PM

#

Yeah, that's what I was thinking about aswell.
Probably need to use Tick then and keep track of remaining frame time to spawn multiple bullets...

hey guys, does someone know any reason Vertexpaint Mode dont work if i only check/uncheck the RGBA channel ? i order to xork i have to enter values, like if i paint with the RED vertex color channel i have to put 1 in red and 0 for the rest. I dont anyone doing this in any videos/doc ect...

#

from what i saw it seam you have only to check the color channel you want to paint

#

but someone told me there maybe an errore with RGB and Windows

#

kind of lost right now 😦 thks guys

vale osprey Mar 10, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

@sudden agate yes, that’s the way to go. You can spawn bullets at positions (or move immediately) where they should have been with unlimited FPS

hoary brook Mar 10, 2018, 3:29 PM

Does anybody know where I can find a tutorial for picking up items similar to this?

is the HUD class initialized before, or after the player controller?

"on target perception updated" fires multiple times, while the only target doesn't leave the sight of the actor

any ideas?

doesnt it update per tick?

#

also did epic remake the entire documentation? Google links no longer work, and the docs look much more different

i mean correct me if im wrong, but this isn't teh same docs?

I am not sure if this is the place to ask but whatever , I have made a simple mesh of a tree in blender with the goal of importing it to unreal engine 4 but when I import it and use it somewhere it says "Invalid lightmap settings" right on my mesh . Do you know a way to fix that?

#

@azure shore To move a BP from one project to another you open the project with it in, right-click on the BP in the Content Browser and select Asset Actions > Migrate, then locate the "Content" folder of the project you want to copy it to.

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 7:15 PM

#

ok, thanks

#

but uh

#

it only shows the folders in the current project

rigid path Mar 10, 2018, 7:18 PM

#

If you right-click a BP (or any asset) and go "Asset Actions > Migrate" you should get a standard file browser that will let you go anywhere on your HDD after you click OK to the "These assets will be migrated" message

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 7:19 PM

#

yeah, and I got the menu with the folders in the current project

#

oh I'm an idiot

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 7:40 PM

#

oooohh man this is so hard jesus

#

god I've done it but I'm gonna have to redo my whole project aint I

#

just for the sake of a damn model#

rigid path Mar 10, 2018, 7:54 PM

#

What's up with the model?

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 7:55 PM

#

if u screwed up the project just revert to an older version

#

even if you dont have version control, autosave runs once every 10 minutes

#

i think 😛

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

no like I made a copy of my project for a new one, then I replace the character model and everything basically breaks

rigid path Mar 10, 2018, 7:59 PM

#

The character model, or character class?

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

also how did u replace him? reimported?

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:02 PM

#

I just imported the model and replaced all the current ones with it

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:04 PM

#

by replaced you mean reassigned or like actually replaced, i.e. deleted and pasted with the same name?

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

like in the viewport, the mesh

rigid path Mar 10, 2018, 8:05 PM

#

OK, so you changed the Skeletal or Static Mesh that the character is using for a different one but it's still the same Blueprint?

#

Also (sorry for the interrogation!) but by "the viewport" do you mean the Viewport tab in Blueprint, or the actual UE4 world viewport?

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

viewport in the blueprint. but yeah I changed the skeleton too sorry

rigid path Mar 10, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

hmmm. what has broken?
If you changed the skeletal mesh then the animation BP might need changing too

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:09 PM

#

if your new skelleton is not identical to the old one, you'd need to create a new skelleton asset

#

can still use the old one tho

#

just retarget the original bones and animations will stack with the new ones

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:10 PM

#

how do I retarget sorry?

#

I've seen that but I can't think

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

so u have a different skelly?

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

yeah

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Engine/Animation/RetargetingDifferentSkeletons

#

thhere step by step

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:11 PM

#

ok thanks

#

but I think I'd need to redo all anims

#

yeah that won't work

#

I can make all anims again easily, its just a matter of not breaking the gameplay

#

like wtf??? the sprinting and stuff is broken with the new mesh

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

what broke in the gameplay?

#

what kind of errors do ur scripts throw

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

sprinting, jumping (makes a height offset which I can't seem to find to fix), crouching, basically all of it

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

ur giving very little information

#

what errors

#

a screenshot would help

#

u get nulls or what?

there are no errors coming up

also when I land from a jump I slide around on the ground and can't jump again

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:22 PM

#

i have no idea whats wrong with ur code when all u tell me that it doesn't work

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

theres nothing I can tell you

#

I replace a model, everything dies

#

well the physics asset seems to suddenly be working

#

and I can jump if I don't walk after landing

#

or not with the physics asset

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

it seems ur state machine is smashed

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

but thats just anims right?

#

so why would it break sprinting...

#

should I just carry on making the other anims, replace them and see if it magically fixes it

#

ok I tried replacing the model with the default model and the same result, except I can jump and land fine now

#

like I reset to when everything worked

#

then just replaced the model and no sprinting

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:35 PM

#

dude i have no idea what you are doing or replacing.

#

just revert back to whatever was working and reimport your skeletal mesh

#

whatever new things uve added should be reflected on it

azure shore Mar 10, 2018, 8:38 PM

#

I've tried

#

wait I haven't tried reimporting instead of replacing, but idk if that would work

#

I give up

#

I'll just remake everything I've ever made

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 8:44 PM

or you could post a few screenshots and have a chance of being helped out

there is nothing too screenshot

If we could see what the model is doing wrong then would help to narrow down the issue.

Can't someone tell me how to make it smaller?

grim ore Mar 10, 2018, 9:05 PM

#

when you import a fbx you can adjust the scale. alternately in the mesh window when you double click the mesh you can adjust the import scale and then choose to reimport it from the top

urban gyro Mar 10, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

also, when you export the fbx, do you do any scale conversion or anything finiky>

#

@azure shore in that case i suspect you replaced your entire blueprint and wiped the event graph

#

anybody know what the normal impulse on the hit event return?

#

https://gyazo.com/aaa147cfab0e7401dfaf090dcf3e9977

Gyazo

#

is this the impulse that the hitting object is going to impart on the target, or is this the impulse that the other object sends "back"?

Is there a way to automatically add textures to a mesh?

Import mesh -> import textures -> then go through each and every material and assign the necessary diffuse/normalmap/roughness/metallic/AO

The static Mesh isnt centered

#

You need to open it in Blender / Maya / 3DS Max and recenter the mesh to X - 0 Y - 0 Z - 0

visual geyser Mar 11, 2018, 4:33 AM

#

I think it had something to do with the min max scale option. The branches imported really small so I tried to scale them up in the brush settings. I tried re importing the meshes and scaled them on the import dialog and that looks to have fixed the offset issues.

#

I'm working on an application that can be used with VR HMD + motion controllers, or just with normal display + keyboard + mouse. I've created a VRPawn and a NonVRPawn. How should I approach this? Should my world already have the 2 different Pawns in the World Outliner? Or should I spawn the Pawn depending on whether HMDIsEnabled? Should I have 2 different GameModes perhaps?

regal mulch Mar 11, 2018, 10:35 AM

#

GameMode -> DefaultPawn: NONE

#

GameMode -> OnPostLogin -> VR Enabled? -> SpawnVR Pawn, otherwise NonVRPawn

pastel gorge Mar 11, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

@regal mulch So in C++ put that logic in AGameMode::PostLogin ?

regal mulch Mar 11, 2018, 10:41 AM

#

Yeah

#

I assume singleplayer?

pastel gorge Mar 11, 2018, 10:42 AM

#

Yes

regal mulch Mar 11, 2018, 10:42 AM

#

Yeah, then just PostLogin

#

It gives you the Controller of the Player so you can possess each pawn

#

And there should be code to check if VR is enabled

#

No idea what the function is called though

it happens to me too

#

every time I make a new C++ class, I have to restart visual studio. and 'Go to declaration' from BP just opens up a new VS instance that doesn't show the declaration, and is 'Loading' forever after that

regal mulch Mar 11, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

That's two different things though

#

The Doubleclick on a c++ node tries to open VS

#

Which will show the Loading stuff the whole time

#

However usually properly openeing VS

#

If you have VS opening when adding a new class, you should deactive that it auto compiles

#

That somewhere in the Editor Settings

you can share it between servers

tiny pier Mar 11, 2018, 4:38 PM

You can have the save file be held by the servers, rather than the clients? And also, by what mechanism do the servers share the file? HTTP, or TCP, or what?

urban gyro Mar 11, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

i havent done it, but if i had to guess it would probably be TCP, also, a save file is just a file, you can share it around 😄 Should probably ask in #multiplayer

@plush yew quick and easy fix is to right click the imported texture and apply paper-2d settings which will change the texture sampling to be nice and crisp

#

all textures are assigned a sampling method and other such stuff I'm not much familiar with but all you really need to know is that you can change the sampling type to nearest-neighbor or whatever for pixel art

#

apply paper-2d settings changes the sampler settings to be good for pixel art stuff which is usually what you want for UI bits

#

really ask somebody else about this lol it's not my expertise

fierce tulip Mar 11, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

alternatively you can just save it as a black/white image without alpha (font white, bg black) and it as a mask. whats unmasked should be a clear font

(compression: alpha)

Forgive me if this is the wrong channel - I don't really know where it fits - but is anybody aware of someone successfully reading, or more accurately, correctly connecting variables to their values in cooked .uassets or potentially how to go about doing that? Trying to automate the process of pulling specific values for use on a website without needing people to manually populate the data. When reading the binary/hex data, I can see the names of the variables and their values, clearly, but they will almost never be in the same position between any two files nor is there any means directly of connecting a variable to a value in the raw data as they're usually nowhere near each other.

worn granite Mar 12, 2018, 8:15 AM

#

I'd think you'd just have to write some code to sort of link that together .... but I don't think that's a welcome topic on the server.

sharp stone Mar 12, 2018, 8:23 AM

#

Well, there's certainly no nefarious intent here. I mod for ARK:SE - opinions aside of the game and it's developer - and while in the process of re-writing my main mod, I'm also implementing a web API so I can have my webserver download mods from Steam's Workshop and trawl the files raw data for all the spawnable in-game items and actors a mod contains, which is all pushed to a database from which my mod then downloads this in-game, makes the data actionable(into actual Class references and such) and makes it available to players and Server Admins via my UI(s).

regal mulch Mar 12, 2018, 8:23 AM

#

You want to scan a class to pull data from it?

#

You you want to populate class data from the web?

sharp stone Mar 12, 2018, 8:24 AM

#

Essentially. Using the raw binary/hex data from the cooked file. Just the ParentClass so I can build a hierarchy and make sure something is spawnable - not a texture or something - and populate basic information about the class like the in-game name and stuff like that.

worn granite Mar 12, 2018, 8:25 AM

#

Eh maybe I was just being too cautious

sharp stone Mar 12, 2018, 8:26 AM

#

If it were anyone but me - like that means anything to you(you don't know me lol) - your caution would be well placed, I think.

#

It's easily provable who I am and what I'm doing, if that at all matters.

worn granite Mar 12, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

I don't have much to add beyond its likely you'll need to roll your own. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

Don't know of a tool that's pre-existing

#

it'd be easier to write out a tree during export, but I'm assuming you don't want to require authors to do that

sharp stone Mar 12, 2018, 8:35 AM

#

Yeah, I've not found anything, there's been a mention here or there of someone trying to do essentially the same thing I'm doing - though they're almost always referring to PUBG and god only knows what they want that data for - and while searching I ended up on a questionable site(UnknownCheats) where the Linker.h class was pointed out as being the basis of "essentially needed to reproduce the behaviour of", but I'm not familiar with C++ at all due to being entirely restricted to BP for modding ARK.

#

I will be having the base-line process of manually providing the data on a website that authors or trusted users can access, but the preferable goal is to automate the process as much as possible.

worn granite Mar 12, 2018, 8:36 AM

#

Yeah you can go look at that, you're going to be parsing symbols and linking them together

south ridge Mar 12, 2018, 8:37 AM

#

@sharp stone I'm kinda interested about the process of modding UE4 games, would you be OK if I PM'd you? I'm just curious on what kinda issues you'd face as a modder trying to mod a game and what kinda stuff we can do to help people who'd try to mod our game

worn granite Mar 12, 2018, 8:38 AM

#

You don't likely have to make the tool in C++ if you're familiar with another environment tho

sharp stone Mar 12, 2018, 8:39 AM

#

I've been working in C#/.NET on and off while making a bot to help manage the modding Discord for ARK, but I'm not well-versed in the language by any stretch, lol.

#

@south ridge Sure, I guess? Haha.

#

Had it turned off, my bad.

worn granite Mar 12, 2018, 8:40 AM

#

Just skimmed Linker

#

Not a bad start, but also not quite what I thought.

#

Your project sounds interesting, ought to be possible without emulating this class to gather info on if its spawnable and grab its name. Not sure if you could get images working though.

sharp stone Mar 12, 2018, 8:47 AM

#

Already know of a tool - UEModel, and tested it, capable of extracting TGA files from .uasset's if I decide to provide some visual representation on the site for a given class - the in-game "icon" Texture2D class is available in the raw data - also if an author permits the doing so if they're not reusing vanilla/provided assets from the Game itself.

You need to answer the question, where is the exact item I am trying to do something with. How did it get there? How can I get to it.

Hey!
Anyone around here has any good amount of experience with cameras?
I'm trying to learn how to easily manage camera movement in a third-person game, giving me the liberty to tell the camera when to move closer or further from the character, to rotate in certain places, etc

#

I was thinking about camera blending (like, having a blueprints with a collider and a camera attached) to take care of that, but it seems like a "meh" option

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 12:49 PM

#

if your talking about natural collision of the camera and the scene the springarm is designed to handle that and the default third person template handles that. If you want to have a "smart" camera then you will have to code up the extra code to handle checking to see how much of the scene is not obstructed every so often and then rotating the camera to a more optimal viewpoint.

left ridge Mar 12, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

@grim ore thanx for replying ( I watch a lot of your videos btw, they are great....tomatoes? ) I'm pretty lost here I'm trying to tell a scencapture2D component to move up or down with some key input...I can't call a keypress event inside the scenecapture so I'm trying to call it from my playercontroller blueprint but I'm stuck with the casting

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 12:53 PM

#

well lets start with where is the scene capture component at?

#

is it something you spawned in, is it in another BP, is it in the scene in the editor?

left ridge Mar 12, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

it's a scenecapture2D blueprint placed in my level (not inside character)...it gets it's location updated from player pawn as to create a minimap

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 12:58 PM

#

ok doke. Since your player controller is not in the scene at the start you cant reference the item in the editor. The next idea is how many of those scene capture components do you have total in the scene?

left ridge Mar 12, 2018, 12:59 PM

#

I only use one of these

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 1:01 PM

#

the easiest way would be to have your player controller get that item when it starts then and save a reference to it so you can work with it later. The biggest issue is making sure that it exists and you only get it once and then order of operations. a safer way would be to use an actual blueprint you can spawn in that has UI or something similar to make sure it's valid and other things but for now you can work around it to get it up and running.

#

in your begin play on your player controller you can get all actors of class and then choose your scenecapture2d as the class.

sacred dune Mar 12, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

hi @fierce tulip , ou mentioned the 3ColorBlend node (https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Engine/Rendering/Materials/Functions/Reference/ImageAdjustment).do you think its possible to use it to inputs values like Metal/AO/Rough from scrath and make it a "texture" node ? can be usefull 😃

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 1:02 PM

#

then you can use a GET node on the output which gives you all of the scene capture 2d objects in the scene, you want the first one (the only one) which is at index 0 (which is the default) and then you can save that to a variable. After this you can just plug that variable into the object slot whenever you want to talk to that item

#

now the only real issue I can see here is you are casting to "MiniCam" which would appear to be a blueprint

#

so I guess a question would be what is MiniCam and what does it do

left ridge Mar 12, 2018, 1:09 PM

#

MiniCam captures the scene from above , renders to a render target, gets put onto a material and into a widget to create a minimap.
I'm trying to cast to the minicam to move it up or down...i.e. zoom minimap in or out

#

https://wiki.unrealengine.com/UMG_Mini-Map

UMG Mini-Map

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 1:10 PM

#

if MiniCam is a blueprint in your scene that handles all of this your going to want to get all actors of MiniCam class and not SceneCapture2D as MiniCam is what you want

#

You don't actually have a SceneCapture2D in the scene, you have a Blueprint that is made up of stuff and one of them is a SceneCapture2D

left ridge Mar 12, 2018, 1:11 PM

#

ok, let me try

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 1:12 PM

#

the way that tutorial is set up tho is more like the first idea I was saying. Using an actual blueprint to spawn in a UMG widget that handles all of this. That would be safer as your player controller/player/whatever could just create that at runtime and then you would have a reference to it immediately and you could make sure it exists.

left ridge Mar 12, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

sorry, I must have gotten ahead of myself....would it be better to hadle these interactions within the widget blueprint instead of in the playercontroller?

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 1:17 PM

#

the widget should handle itself yes, IE "someone tells me to do this, I should do that" but the player controller is a fine place to actually do the input handling. " I press M so I do this" where this could be talking to the widget and doing something

#

that tutorial seems like a good start for what you want if you follow it all the way thru. IT should give you a widget you can talk to, you can then just add in your code to the widget to do what you want then call it from wherever you handle your input

left ridge Mar 12, 2018, 1:23 PM

#

Okay, I'll follow it through before jumping around again 😅

grim ore Mar 12, 2018, 1:23 PM

#

not a biggie either way, your trying to learn so getting stuck is normal 😃

Good day, i've been stuck in a problem for the past week, can't seem to find a way out, and couldn't find proper documentation on the issue as well.

I managed to make a composed world of 20km² but i cannot seem to find a way to nav mesh it, if i try to make a huge nav mesh volume and render all of it, it just crashes, and if i try to add a nav mesh volume into each sub-level, i can't match the volume to the level bounds as the editor won't show me anything inside the level just a black screen, even if i add a directional light in it.

So if anyone has any ifo that could help i'd apreciate it very much ♥

Without LFS, 20mb.

Hi All! I wanted to ask if anyone has any experience with the Light Functions on a Directional Light. Right now this takes up to about 1/4th of the overall performance of the project I am working on, and I was wondering if there are solutions out there that lower the Light Function performance... Thanks!

the main difference between unreal engine and unreal studio is datasmith?

livid haven Mar 13, 2018, 3:37 AM

#

Wording is a bit hazy but...

#

Pretty sure Unreal Studio refers to more of a license/entitlement, for UE4 plus a set of additional tools.

#

One of which is Datasmith.

#

But Datasmith itself is a collection of tools.

#

So Unreal Studio isn't really a separate thing, it's Unreal Engine plus Datasmith, pretty much.

livid haven Mar 13, 2018, 4:37 AM

#

No, no one knows when 4.19 is coming out.

@livid haven I think people really like being on the edge lol

worn granite Mar 13, 2018, 5:51 AM

I mean you can just pull master if you want

#

be right there on the edge

@high oriole Temporal antialiasing makes everything blurry.

#

when i import my FBX UE4 changes all the material colors to black

#

how to fix

#

also when i set a mesh in a blueprint no collision it does nothing still has collision

keen birch Mar 13, 2018, 7:45 AM

#

@worn granite Is master still on 4.19? I assumed it'd be 4.20 by now

worn granite Mar 13, 2018, 7:46 AM

#

either way its more on the edge

#

Last time I compiled master (successfully) it was 4.19 but yeah its prolly on 4.20

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

Versions don't mean much in master

plush yew Mar 13, 2018, 8:04 AM

#

well, I tried packaging section and noone answered so i will try this one

#

hey guys
I recently updated my project from 4.18 to 4.18 and I have a bit of a problem with steam on dedicated server

#

📎 aaa.png

#

I noticed that they change the steamworks sdk from 132 ot 139
so I copied the first 2 files from this picture from the steamsdk 139 from the engine folder and the rest from my steam install folder
It wokerd fine before but now I get this message when I want to start the server

#

📎 Untitled.png

#

when I close this window, everything works fine but I can't close this window on a remote server
So I need to get rid off this
any suggestions?
I mean from 4.15 to 4.18***

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 8:05 AM

#

Why does the path say 4.15 still ?

plush yew Mar 13, 2018, 9:16 AM

#

It is just a folder name, it does not matter

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 9:20 AM

#

Just curious

#

I'm not familiar with copying the Steam SDK files myself

#

I don't need that for what I do with Steam

regal mulch Mar 13, 2018, 9:46 AM

#

Well usually you grab the files from your Binaries/ThirdParty/... engine folder

#

And put them into the Binaries folder of your Server

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 9:49 AM

#

For dedicated servers only, right ? Else Steam provides the DLLs

Hi, in my game instace i've got a lot of asset references, and so the game's startup in very slow. There is a way to speed up the start of the game with this situation?

#

does unreal support .urdf files?

fierce tulip Mar 13, 2018, 11:38 AM

#

never heard of those

tall pendant Mar 13, 2018, 11:39 AM

#

I doubt UE4 support .urdf. Its too specific i guess.

wary wave Mar 13, 2018, 11:45 AM

#

I don't even know what it is

#

Unified Robot Description Format?

#

weird, why would Unreal want to support that?

keen birch Mar 13, 2018, 11:48 AM

stone pilot Mar 13, 2018, 11:50 AM

#

solidworks apparently exports by default from that

#

Wanted to try for a friend if it could be imported in unreal like that

#

but I already found an FBX exporter

#

so that should fix it 😃

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 11:52 AM

#

Basically FBX is the one that everyone agrees on in the art world

keen birch Mar 13, 2018, 11:52 AM

#

Everyone agrees on FBX differently, though

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 11:52 AM

#

Not perfect, but kind of better than anything else before that

keen birch Mar 13, 2018, 11:52 AM

So it still sucks

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 11:52 AM

Yeah

I tried animation with Blender and predictably UE4 crashes on import with arcane errors

#

For static meshes it's been 100% ok for years now though

frank escarp Mar 13, 2018, 12:33 PM

#

until gltf comes

#

blender can be made work

#

but bone orientations are weird, so they can cause some trouble

#

fuck fbx

paper kernel Mar 13, 2018, 12:34 PM

#

don't blame fbx, blame the guy who keeps changing it

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 12:37 PM

#

Actually I didn't have issues with bones

#

They're fine out of the box with no setup

#

The mesh isn't fine

ionic hornet Mar 13, 2018, 1:45 PM

#

why "Components/WidgetComponent.h" doesn't work when i include it?

#

isn't this the header to get the UWidgetComponent?

#

Error (active) E1696 cannot open source file "Components/WidgetComponent.h" ArchProject e:\UnrealProjects\ArchProject\Source\ArchProject\Furniture.h 6

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

Sounds like it's not the correct path

#

http://api.unrealengine.com/INT/API/Runtime/UMG/Components/UWidgetComponent/

UWidgetComponent

The widget component provides a surface in the 3D environment on which to render widgets normally rendered to the screen.

#

Google the UXXX class, the header is always at the end of the doc page

ionic hornet Mar 13, 2018, 1:46 PM

#

Runtime/UMG/Public/Components/WidgetComponent.h this doesn't work either

cloud cobalt Mar 13, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

Yeah, everything after Public should work, so Components/WidgetComponent.h will work

#

You might haven't added UMG to your dependencies

ionic hornet Mar 13, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

and how do i do that?
