Is there a string to switch gamemodes?
regal mulch
You can grab these in the GameMode (OptionsString) of the new map
Yeah that's ?game=GAMEMODESHORTCODE
While GAMEMODESHORTCODE needs to be setup in your ProjectSettings

Any ideas why I cannot find or use SkySphere in my project?
It's just missing... and cannot find it anywhere
Cannot even seem to add one
regal mulch
When you create a new level, can you find it in that one?
regal mulch
In the left part of the editor
You should find BP to spawn
There is a section for all classes
Can you find it in there?
fading magnet
Nope

@regal mulch the only thing preventing me at this point is my lack of knowledge in UE4 to know how to implement it. Just pinging the community for any direction. Understand what you mean though, I am a try first, ask later kind of person, but I'm trying to put something together for a presentation in less than 4 hours
regal mulch
Well I don't even fully get what you mean.
You can easily just set a Mateiral or Material Interface to a StaticMesh
There are tons of ways on how to do that, totally depending on how you are interacting with the StaticMesh (or the Actor holding it)
grim ore
@fading magnet if you right click the sky sphere in the level it is in you can "Browse to asset" and find it in the engine content folder.
If you still can't find it your install is borked

Do time handle struct's hold the float time value? or does it constantly feed from the time input for creationing the handle in bp

How do I transfer static meshes from world outliner to content browser? Cause I assigned a bunch of materials to the static meshes in my level and it took ages... : o :
regal mulch
You don't
StaticMeshes that are placed in the world are instances.
Each with their own Material Slots
If you change it in the World, it's only affecting that Instance
The original StaticMesh from teh Content Browser is usually used to setup the default materials
And is then dragged into the scene
The only thing I could imagine that you could try is turning the world static mesh into a Blueprint
@plush yew
@pallid compass Hm, not sure, why does it matter?
pallid compass
I was trying to use Function timers for some basic auto attacking for a lil 2d game im working on for fun
however it seams i cant change the timer's on them
regal mulch
You mean adjust it while it's looping?
regal mulch
Well you can just Set the Timer again
That usually overrides the last call
You can grab how far the timer has run by then from the handle
And then set the timer again with the same handle, effectively resetting it and overriding the previous call
pallid compass
i tried to change it during run but it does not seam to work
do i have to pause it first or clear the handle or?
Theres no set timer function
regal mulch
If they changed something, yes, otherwise just calling SetTimer with the same handle
BP or C++?
pallid compass
BP sorry forgot to specify
pallid compass
regal mulch
No, just use the function on the left again
pallid compass
Oh i think i get you
regal mulch
If you do this again
With a different time (or even with the same)
It will reset the current running one
regal mulch
Sure :D no biggie
pallid compass
Works great thank you 😃

plush yew
any idea why i only see my player controller in the outliner when i play the game in editor?
livid haven
Because you don't have a player controller unless you're, y'know, playing. 😉
plush yew
Ok, but the solution to an issue i'm having seems to be "i have to check my player controller has to accept input entries". The only place i see it is in the outliner while i play. Sorry, i'm lost and desperate.
livid haven
You're trying to edit an instance, you need to edit the class... which is what gets instantiated.
Edit your blueprint for the player controller.
The default values.
plush yew
by player controller, you mean the cam+gun i have since i started from a FPS template?
i edited those, like a thousant times today 😭
livid haven
No...
The player controller. The thing called player controller.
Not the thing that's not called player controller. You seem to be describing the pawn or character.
plush yew
thanks for your help. The only place i see this item called exactly that way, is as i said in outliner in yellow when i play.
livid haven
You need to go over this page
That page is the hub.
This is the quick reference: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Gameplay/Framework/QuickReference
plush yew
anyone know if you can use complex as simple with simulated physics yet?
@livid haven thank you, i hope i find my answer there!
grim ore
you can create a new player controller and change it in there then tell your game to use it or just allow the default player controller to accept input, I am assuming mouse clicks, at runtime as well.

Fortbite BR making $100million a month in in-app purchases. Crazy.

Jesus that's a lot of money
That's $5m a month in royalties Epic has to pay Epic. Wonder how Epic feels about it, and how Epic feels about it too.
safe rose
;) Except Epic probably doesn't get as much. Tencent must get quite a bit
errant pewter
Wait, does Tencent have any role in FBR?
worn granite
Epic
safe rose
Tencent owns quite a bit of Epic
They bailed them out from money issues a long time ago.
errant pewter
Right, but how does that work? It isn't like Tencent get's a little under half of all profits and Tim Sweeny/The other chap get's the rest right?
Wow, I don't really understand how investment works..
safe rose
Yeah, no clue on the actual Dynamics of what % is owe to Tencent. But I can imagine it's quite a lot
Anything Epic makes money from
Tencent gets their piece.

Which is funny since Tencent is bringing Fortnite BR to China
Or has
And I think I read they get another piece from that deal
plush yew
so as far as i know
making a game from unreal
like
i think u pay 5%
of off all the money u maek
make
soo u make a hundred dollars 5 of it goes to epic
i think?
livid haven
It's more complicated than that, but yes, that's the worst case scenario.
plush yew
yea i figured i wasnt 100% right
livid haven
"Once you've begun collecting money for your product, you'll need to track gross revenue and pay a 5% royalty on that amount after the first $3000 per game per calendar quarter. "
livid haven
So, if you made $100 between January, February, and March, you would pay no royalty.
plush yew
mhm
after that you do
right
cuz those are the first 3 months
and on the fourth u pay?
livid haven
No
plush yew
like
every quarter of the year
or is it that u start paying
after
the first 3 months
u dont have to explain it like 100% to me im just wondering like the basics of it
buoyant compass
Looking at a couple new laptops, one has a i5 7300HQ and a Nvidia 1050, the other has an i5 8250u and a MX150. Which would be better?
plush yew
nvidia i think
buoyant compass
it wouldnt be my main development machine, but for work when im away
both are Nvidia
livid haven
Royalty payments are due 45 days after the close of each calendar quarter. Along with the payment, you must send a royalty report on a per-product basis. For more information, see here.```From the FAQ
livid haven
The example is a bit odd. The app store example is trying to illustrate a different aspect of the royalty deal - gross revenue - rather than the $3000 threshold
plush yew
eh i kinda understand
i mean
i havent even tried making a game yet
cuz i've been working on a problem
the launch error
(0x0000007) one i think
i got a game dev thats in this discord to come and help me
we started trying to fix it yesterday
gonna continue today
once he gets back
livid haven
No, you only need to report royalties when you are making more than $3,000 per quarter from your product. If your game no longer is being sold, or no longer makes that amount of money, no royalty reports are due.```The 1050 is much stronger than the mx150, same with the cpu
buoyant compass
The 7300hq being stronger than the 8250u?
plush yew
thats what i was wondering
buoyant compass
I wasn't too sure on the whole turbo vs base clock thing
plush yew
ik for fact 1050 is stronger than the mx one
grim ore
Yes, the u series is not meant for heavy sustained loads
livid haven
So, if you don't make more than $3000 in a quarter, you pay nothing for that quarter. If you make $3100.00 in Q1, you'll pay 5% of $100. If you make $2999.99 in Q2, you'll pay $0.
plush yew
ok thx sion sheevok
grim ore
Compare the base clocks for both. That is what you will be hitting most of the time under load. That's where the u series falls short on dev work.
livid haven
That's my understanding of it, anyways. Someone else can chime in.
grim ore
I'm not saying the newer cpu with the mx150 won't work but pound for pound the hq cpu and the 1050 is a better dev machine.
gloomy pollen
that 3k limit is per "product" meaning per game?
buoyant compass
Found a refurb nitro 5 for 530$

You have to watch out for the smaller 1050 machines, their cooling systems blow.
grim ore
Nah I paid 600 for my 7700hq/1050 Lenovo so 530 seems right for the 7300hq
buoyant compass
damn where did you score that?

I kinda figured they just used the HUD class and raw textures because AAA and all 😛

I did use Slate extensively for the item cards.
Otherwise, no. UMG iteration times and performance is just fine for 99% of things.

but that 1%... oh that 1% is like 99% of the UI

So i'm thinking guys
i might want to release any games I make under creative commons license i'm not sure if its a good idea
I'm just thinking, I'm too poor for a lawsuit, this game will never be popular enough to be worth going to court or chasing people
i might as well leave its assets free for people to use and innovate as long as they don't resell my stuff whole sale
worn granite
If you provide the stuff such that it could be reconstructed and sole wholecloth - it will be.
If you're not going to be able to enforce a license, have you considered that one where it just absolves you of responsibility?
Something like this basically - https://tldrlegal.com/license/unlicense#summary
livid haven
@grim ore Item cards are a big deal, but they have much less complexity and man hours than a fuckton of the frontend.
Everything about stats and squads and skill tree is the huge 99%, in my mind, of complexity.
rustic panther
@grim ore What's your middle initial?
worn granite
Sion: I'm going to unwind at this bar, have a brew, and be social
Other Sion: SLACKERS NEEDS MY HELP
@worn granite agreed
thats what i feel tbh
its not worth stopping theft
if it ever happens to me I might as well capitalize on it
rather than fighting and chasing thieves
but i would still like to do creative commons
in case i do make enough money or my thieves make enough money that it becomes reasonable to chase
i know the chance is unlikely but i would like to leave a door open to it and not assume too much, I might get lucky and be like that guy who managed to sue google for 2 billion

I'm trying to get all actors from class player start after I open a level, but the count returns 0. Do I need for the level to be fully loaded somehow?

is it possible to declare a BP function as virtual? so I can have it on all subclasses of my main BP, and then from my main BP justt call that function when needed?
latent moth
@regal mulch the reason i'm a little confused is because i thought that GameState was were all the players should be stored, but that gets reset when you travel
regal mulch
It is where the playerarray is, yes
And yes on travels this resets.not sure if server transfers it on seamless travel
@glass imp You can override all functions by default
latent moth
I have to use seamless to my understanding anyways, since I use steam
regal mulch
Correct
latent moth
and there's this bug that disconnects clients
OK so where do I store my connected clients for them to be persistent?
GameInstance?
regal mulch
Maybe we talk about two different things. Clients persist on seamless travel
The classes they use are another story
PlayerState has the function OnCopyProperties
To copy from old to new state
GameMode has OnSwapPlayerControllers to handle the controller change
latent moth
ah
ok, will dig more, thank you so much for your help
I'm doing a player slotting mechanism, and depending on the slot they choose, they get a different character
And I'm having a little difficulty with that, since when players join, the level starts
regal mulch
You can save the slot id in the server versions of each players playercontroller
latent moth
yes that's what I'm doing
regal mulch
And make sure it persists by using OnSwapPlayerControllers
latent moth
will check this because I simply do not understand what it is
I'm using seamless so my understanding is that it'd be persisted
will drown in this! 😄
I do have one last question though: where do you usually put the logic of creating / joining / leaving sessions?
frank escarp
on the game instance on pretty much every example

@frank escarp unfortunately I've seen a lot of these happen in many different places, that clears it for me thank you 😃

anything that should persist trough map changes
should be on game instance on other object added to root set

teal glen
Ah okay, thanks.
acoustic quest
The courses cost money I already looked into it
teal glen
Yeah I know that. That's why I'm asking.
Also, on the UE4 wiki it says so much info about UE4 and 3DS Max and Maya.
Does that mean it has the best support between the two?
pallid compass
No
grim ore
all of this is just wasting time not learning. install the launcher, click on the learn tab, and start gong thru all the stuff in there.
pallid compass
Your thinking of it wrong
grim ore
you can worry about all of that later
pallid compass
3ds max and maya are just 3d modelling / animation / rendering applications
teal glen
I know that, I need to create characters. Do I need a program for that?
teal glen
@grim ore I already made my character using MakeHuman, then importing it into blender while Unreal Engine 4 was crashing and verifying all the time. It suddenly worked out of nowhere. That's why I'm talking about this.
regal mulch
Creating Characters is probably one of the hardest tasks
teal glen
Is Blender a good free choice?
grim ore
ok you should still literally do what I said
your asking how you run a 6 second quarter mile without knowing how to drive
your asking how to land on the sea without knowing how to fly
teal glen
lol I'm just getting started.
Trying to get the right tools.
I'm going to make the game on the PC I'm getting soon, so basically I'm just going to play around in UE4. Meanwhile, I need to learn how to make characters so they'll be ready as soon as I get the PC.
pallid compass
well to make char's
takes about 6 months to learn
to make kinda crappy not too bad / passable
floral heart
Creating characters is easy if your standards are low enough.
But it's still one of the hardest tasks, because animation workflow is diabolical
pallid compass
Creating char's is really not easy, even with rock bottom standards
you really need to know wtf you are doing
teal glen
I won't make realistic characters, I'll make them like fortnite but with somewhat realistic hair and face and stuff..
pallid compass
prob looking at 8 months of training then
floral heart
Fortnite is what I would consider very high standards
pallid compass
bare minimum
teal glen
I already made a character in MakeHuman and imported it to blender.
paper kernel
I wouldn't say 8 months
teal glen
I just need to know if there are other programs like MakeHuman.

like, stick figure made out of boxes, do some basic walk animations. 3 weeks of tutorials?
teal glen
I know a bit of design and stuff.
pallid compass
Topology, anatomy, animation, texturing etc
paper kernel
make it move
teal glen
boxes?
pallid compass
im not going AAA, he said what he wanted and im being realistic

yup, a moving character made out of boxes

wait, can't I just use this robot from UE4?

that's a realistic goal for new guy

Its fucking hard to make a game on your own.
frank escarp
i have many, many prototypes that could be sold if they were slightly pretty
regal mulch
The only way you'd manage to get it done in 2 years is sitting down, working on it 10+ hours every day, learning how to program.
And using Sounds and Assets from Marketplace or for free, or at least only creating REALLY basic shaped meshes (like block and low poly flat shaded stuff)
frank escarp
but no art, so....
teal glen
Okay thanks.
regal mulch
A normal Artist would probably already need a month for modeling, sculpting, texturing and animating one character
If not more
And you basically don't have the skills that this person has

So basically I have to start by making a shit game right?
regal mulch
You can animate rigged meshes with Blender, yes.
frosty bloom
hey, you dont really got a choice tbh
pallid compass
man i have even motion capture suit and shiz in my studio, and its still a pain to animate lmao
regal mulch
Well you'll def start by making games that you throw away
tall pendant
@pallid compass dont forget the make AAA game button thats hidden...you can unlock that button tho..with ALT+F4 😄
teal glen
Okay thanks everyone. This was very helpful. :D
frosty bloom
My first game is in a zipped folder, never to see the light of day
pallid compass
omg
south ridge
Before going full into animation and making cutscenes, I'd suggest doing movies with real people first (and same for animation)
teal glen
How would that help?
south ridge
Or you could draw storyboards and do it the proper way, but that's less accessible to someone who's just starting
worn granite
Rather than extending your deadline, I'd shrink the game. Learning to cut content to meet a deadline is essential.
regal mulch
Don#t get us wrong, we don't want to scare you away, but doing a game in 2 years with code, meshes, sounds, textures, ui, etc. while having to learn it by yourself is truely not doable.
worn granite
Don't go tell people you need double the time, just make 1/8th the game
regal mulch
Most people specialize in one of the many things (I'm only coding) and form a team to create the game
And they still take 2 years
south ridge
@teal glen You need to learn how to pick good angles, how to make use of characters etc
That's for cutscenes
frosty bloom
Pro tip though. Start with a ball game, usually a pretty feasible thing to do as beginner
teal glen
I have the dream to make a really good UE4 game lol.
pallid compass
so does everyone in this chat
regal mulch
Well, then sit down and learn programming first
teal glen
Do I need to learn programming or can I do an entire game with blueprints?
regal mulch
Every other asset can be bought or just used from the free collections
pallid compass
Depends on scope of game and target hardware
regal mulch
Blueprints is programming
teal glen
ah okay
regal mulch
You can already forget to skip that part
south ridge
You should learn proper programming even though you can make the game in blueprints
paper kernel
blueprint still operates under same rules as any other programming language
south ridge
Even if you won't write C++ code, you need to learn the logic to programming
worn granite
Don't wait around for the opportunity to make the best game before jumping in
pallid compass
yeah programming is all logic and engineering really
teal glen
Is unity any better for beginners than this? I just saw the word "blueprints" and immediately got UE4.
pallid compass
I would say no
regal mulch
No, it wants the same knowledge.
pallid compass
I feel like ue4 is kinda easy mode for starting
regal mulch
You have to learn c# programming
south ridge
At your stage it doesn't matter what you pick
frosty bloom
Blueprint has a way of being more forgiving when it comes to rough edges, but overall you have to think the way a programmer does either way.
regal mulch
And still create all the assets
teal glen
@south ridge I know how code works tho.
worn granite
Just dive in
regal mulch
:D Just start learning how to create very very simple games in UE4 with Blueprints, using only free sounds and meshes.
teal glen
@worn granite Well, I think you're right lol.
regal mulch
That's all I do for my game. Using Capsules and Boxes
And later paying someone to replace these
worn granite
Yeah just dive in and don't even start with the game you want to make by 2 years
Crazy, right?
pallid compass
yeah u start with that in like a year lmao
sudden osprey
How to stop being lazy?
worn granite
then start on that in 6 months from now - realize that you're not ready - and then get back to it a bit later.
floral heart
I need a cure for indecisiveness
teal glen
So basically should I learn programming using the UE4 language (I forgot what is it)?
pallid compass
just do blueprints
worn granite
I still haven't made my "dream" game
floral heart
you'll never make your dream game, so it's best to have awful dreams
worn granite
You won't regret getting moving right away so if you're still staring at discord - begone
frosty bloom
Hey, let new people create DarkSoul 4 and the next Zelda, i think it sounds amazeBallz (jk jk)
south ridge
I had one dream game and I gave up on it 😄
south ridge
My dream game at the time was basically second life
pallid compass
lmfao
worn granite
eww
south ridge
At the time SL was garbage and ActiveWorlds was outdated
So it was good time to make something user content based. But I didn't have a dev team 😄
pallid compass
SL?
teal glen
Is #work-in-progress a place for people to rate your stuff that you just made?
worn granite
also
sudden osprey
@south ridge where can i find money for that? :)
south ridge
SecondLife
worn granite
was
teal glen
Ah okay.
south ridge
@sudden osprey do you have charisma? There are a ton of investors around who you can convince into funding you 😄
worn granite
@teal glen #more-resources
south ridge
@worn granite I gave up on the idea when it became obvious that I didn't have access to any good game engines and anything else would be too work, afterwards the good time passed and today a SL clone isn't gonna do anything
My second dream game was an open source version of GTA2
teal glen
Wait, can you make an open-source game in UE4?
pallid compass
yes
south ridge
Sure
pallid compass
but u better have big c++ knowledge
south ridge
But it will never be truly open source
teal glen
Oh okay.
south ridge
The code and assets you make can be released under any license, but you will still be tied to proprietary UE4
sudden osprey
@south ridge nope
teal glen
And also, how does exporting to consoles work?
south ridge
@sudden osprey nope?
regal mulch
I think you are only allowed to open source your project if people download it through the launcher?
That's why all the mod kits are in there
sudden osprey
@south ridge charisma, tons of investors :)
south ridge
Oh
paper kernel
that sounds odd
south ridge
Find a business partner, come up with a business plan, submit it to bank and get a loan etc
paper kernel
tho I haven't looked into it
regal mulch
They want you to sign into an Epic Launcher Account cause of agreements and stuff
sudden osprey
It's too hard for me :)
paper kernel
oh right, that makes sense
south ridge
You can still distribute source code and assets separately, just not any engine or editor components
regal mulch
If you distribute the mod stuff outside, you are giving people access to the launcher without epic having their agreements in tact
True
south ridge
Mods are different though
Mods inherently rely on licensed content so it'd make sense they'd have extra restrictions
regal mulch
Your code can be open sourced, i guess just sharing the project works fine?
paper kernel
it not "just mods", it's piece of source code, which requires you to sign paperwork
south ridge
@regal mulch there's nothing they could do about distributing source code you wrote and assets you created
paper kernel
sure you can share anything you've created, but not the engine bits
south ridge
Not the engine bits, yes
You can include engine headers, but not distribute content of engine headers
floral heart
I'm curious how you could make source code that works with the engine without it touching the engine

Is there a way to manually reparent a child blueprint? I moved some assets around and one (hopefully only one) of my blueprints broke.
serene shale
Yeah go to class settings and change the Parent Class
fallow hazel
Yeah, that one is weird, it doesn't show me all the classes, by far.
serene shale
That's odd, It shows me all 206 that I have.
fallow hazel
I udnerstand that it doesn't know which class it originally was, but it's showing me things like tutorial blueprints, but it won't show an Actor for example.
serene shale
Did you try deleting intermediate folder and relaunching the project?
It might detect it that way.
fallow hazel
I'll try that.
Hm, no difference. Still shows only 182 classes, no custom blueprint classes at all.
pallid compass
is there away to grab a variables name in bp? 😂
frosty bloom
Keeping classes well organized, commented & with a solid structure is truly the only way I haven't gone insane yet. The classes just keeps breeding in my project
fallow hazel
Trying to organize my assets has nearly driven me insane.
HAHAAA! A victory! It seemed like UE mixed up folders when I moved the blueprint - the parent class was listed as being in a folder where it never was. So I made that folder, copied the parent there and it worked.
frosty bloom
You can right click Content folder and select "Fix up redirectors in Folders" when you move stuff around
it fixes all redirector issues
fallow hazel
I know, it didn't work.
Also I'm experiencing issues with moving maps (the umap files), UE sometimes just seems to leave them behind. Fixing redirectors doesn't help, folders cannot be deleted. But this is not such a tragedy, because it doesn't break anything.
frosty bloom
That is very strange. I can't say anything about umap, since I never change folder for them. But regarding Assets & blueprints, worst case scenario I've had to delete an empty folder left behind after redirecting but nothing more than that

Hi everyone, I installed UE4 (4.19) on an old-ish (2012) computer and it's having trouble running. I get this error:
"A feature level 5 video card is required to run the editor.
AvailableFeatureLevel = SM4

Don't really know what these mean, I haven't been good at Googling either. I don't know which version I should install for this computer. 😮

Just throwing an educated guess out here: your GPU isn't capable of running it
leaden garnet
Seems like your computer doesn't seem to meet the minimum requirements to run the engine. Have you checked whether you meet them or not?

Hello
abstract marsh
Hello all, I have a bit of question in regards to Nintendo Switch development.
Does anybody know anything about how it handles things?
Like what would cause it to lag (look at games like Rime)
elfin jacinth
RiME was originally developed for consoles with a bit more meat, and used level streaming. The level chunks got to be too large and had to be downgraded, but that still caused some hitching
I worked on RiME. 😛
There was a patch right before I left that resolved many of the hiccups that the original release saw. Being on the Community side of RiME, I can't get into the technical changes to the project itself though.
abstract marsh
Hello! Also Tim thanks so much for chatting with me.
Could either of you give some insight on technical limitations?
hazy lynx
well, the hardware is not specially powerful
elfin jacinth
I cannot. Sorry
abstract marsh
I understand 😃
hazy lynx
you get 3 cores, 1000 MHZ each
so you'll have a few nervous breakdowns before you manage to optimize everything enough
you'll regret every instance where you thought "bah' let it just tick every frame"
but it's doable 😃
abstract marsh
The most that I understand about technology (despite having worked for a computer company) is how much it can handle when it comes to, say...a type of shader and tons of polygons on screen at a time.
Are you working on a 3D game? That would help me with insight.
hazy lynx
yes
robust agate
Heya, I'm new. Is there a specific place to ask general structural questions?
hazy lynx
structural questions?
idle mantle

keen birch
Anyone happen to know if DFAO support on landscape grass will ever be a thing?
Or is there some kind of technical limitation keeping it from affecting distance fields?
vale osprey
Effecting or receiving?
keen birch
Effecting
In order to cast DFAO they need to effect the global distance field, so it's the same in this case
vale osprey
It might be in works but they tend to update DF sporadically - only when needed and grass has a very fast changing culling
keen birch
True, but in my opinion AO matters massively to the depth of grass, and I'm not having both SSAO and DFAO
In which case my preference definitely goes to DFAO, except that doesn't work on landscape grass due to grass not contributing to the global distance field
Left is without AO, right is manually painted to have DFAO
It looks better, while it doesn't even have a green ground texture
grave nebula
Compositing grass like it is into global distance field will have rendering budget of pretty decent realtime GI
keen birch
Afaik the grass isn't recomputed in the global distance field unless it moves
Grass doesn't move
So it's only recomputed for the new bits
plush yew
@keen birch I like the grass
keen birch
Thanks
So having DFAO on a pretty large amount of grass is costing me ~.5ms on a GTX1060
In case anyone wanted that metric
robust agate
@hazy lynx - Best practices etc.
keen birch
4k visible instances affecting distance field lighting is 0.5ms
hazy lynx
@robust agate don't think so. Ask here 😃
robust agate
OK!
Lets say I'm doing a project with fire propagation (things can burn, burning things can catch other things on fire).
Is it better to have each type of object (tree, tire, children etc.) implement a 'flammable' interface, or is it better to have a 'flammable' component?
I think every flammable object needs a specific 'flammability' collision, for objects like potted trees where the pot isn't flammable, but the tree itself is. I'm not sure how to model that (components don't let you nest collision inside them) so possibly using the interface inputs?
graceful grove
Having a flammable interface seems more lightweight and manageable. flammable objects would probably implement something like Ignite() and PropagateFire()
graceful grove
It depends on how PropagateFire is implemented. For instance, I would probably have something like a bush do a check every 3-5 seconds and choose the closest object that also implements a flammable interface, and run Ignite() on that object
robust agate
My thought was pretty much the same, but it would do a collision check for nearby objects that also implement 'flammable'.
So things far apart from each other wouldn't catch fire.
The question is how you do custom collisions per object.
That aren't the global collision (because sometimes, only part of an object is flammable)
graceful grove
Do you have separate meshes for different parts of objects that are flammable?
If it's all part of one cohesive object then it's kinda tricky to check what part of it gets hit by a spark (for instance)
Although in retrospect you could definitely have a separate collision that only checks a "fire spreader" channel
robust agate
This is the first I'm hearing about channels.
graceful grove
Yes, you can specify custom collision channels, and there's nothing preventing you from having multiple colliding volumes on any one object, so perhaps that would solve your issue
robust agate
Well, I don't have an issue, I have questions. : )
graceful grove
Are you trying to have a fire spread effect like in Far Cry?
robust agate
Similar, but with more things theoretically able to burn.
(not actually building this, using this as an example to try to understand best practices)
graceful grove
I'd say just about everything burns in Far Cry lol. In any case if you were trying to replicate the burning landscape appearance I suspect that's handled by a material layer effect (see here https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Creating_Layered_Materials_(Tutorial))
robust agate
I'm not really, though that's interesting. I'm more interested in how objects communicate things to each other and how you'd handle things like 'light objects near me that can burn on fire'.
graceful grove
One approach would to be to "getting all objects in range" and then choosing the closest one which is flammable, you could also create an invisible "fire propagation hitbox" which whenever it collides with something runs the ignite() function on it
robust agate
That last one is the one I've been talking about.
But the question is where you get the hitbox from.
graceful grove
You can just spawn it as an actor that itself is nothing but a hitbox which only checks for collisions on the "flammable" collision channel
robust agate
Right, but that doesn't seem reusable at all.
If I have a 'potted plant' object, I'd imagine that the best method would be to include all the information about how the plant burns within that object itself.
graceful grove
That's entirely possible, you would just attach the burning logic to the Ignite() implementation
You can handle trying to burn other objects with the PropagateFire() implementation
robust agate
Right, so the 'flammable' interface has those two events. Cool.
But then would it make more sense to -also- create a, say, 'burnable' component.
graceful grove
And since it's just an interface the way one thing burns doesn't need to be the same as any other object, as an interface just requires a class to implement a function, not to have the same function
robust agate
Which would, in theory, contain a collision object?
And that's true, but imagine I have dozens or hundreds of objects that I need to do this for. You'd want to package that up. Is a component the right place to package it?
graceful grove
Well, I would probably use a capsule component that only has collision on the flammable collision channel, and position it so that it only extends over the plant and not the pot it's in
In regards to having a ton of objects that need to implement a function, it's not a problem I've ever personally faced but I suppose you would have a reusable set of basic burning responses which you could run in the Ignite() implementation
robust agate
Right, and that 'reusable set of basic burning responses' would be held in what?
A component?
(curiously, it looks like you can't derive blueprint classes from collision components, which means that I don't see a way to attach this to something that defines a collision volume)
graceful grove
I think ActorComponents would be the approach
graceful grove
@plush yew to the right of your Discord post click on the ... and select delete
plush yew
I cant
robust agate
Hrm, unfortunately it looks like there's no easy method to embed a collision component within a scene component.
graceful grove
As I understand, scene components only exist to provide some separate coordinate space
plush yew
Create them separately and reference the collision within the other component
hazy lynx
you can attach one scene component to another
