Have you followed tutorials?

@vale jasper man you have asked that so many times. It's a preview mesh is why. It's literally in the name.
You need to attach it at runtime or design time using a blueprint or you need to fix it in your DCC program.

Does anyone know if URichTextBlock has been deprecated or something? I updated from 4.15 .0 to 4.19.1 and now when I use it it doesn't format the text but seems to behave just like a normal UTextBlock. I'm using it in C++ btw, not any form of blueprints.
This is what it looks like
heavy yew
are there any large limitations of using blueprints over c++?
i cant get C++ to work on unreal, so im kinda forced to use blueprints.
velvet latch
Blueprints are great and they have little overhead as far as I know.
The main problem you could possibly run into is not finding a blueprint function that suits your need sometimes.
What's the problem you're having with setting up C++?
worthy fox
How can I make a Skeletal Mesh use lighting from baked lightmaps?
cloud cobalt
Not sure you can.
worthy fox
When using stationary lights the lighting on the skeletal mesh looks super strange.. it receives lighting, but it doesn't look right.. so I figured I'll just bake all lights as static since I don't really need stationary lights or movable lights in the level I'm creating
heavy yew
@velvet latch When i try to create a C++ project, it creates spits out an error and doesent launch unreal, the menu shows that the project has been created and its in the files of unreal, but when i try to launch it it spits out that same error, let me go check what exactly the error is.
plush yew
@velvet latch that's why I use C++ to expose stuff to BP ๐
cloud cobalt
Build in VS to understand why something doesn't build.
velvet latch
Just using blueprints in the first place has a slight overhead though, but yeah that's the best compromise.
plush yew
it's honestly just easier to follow
sometimes at 3 AM I don't have the necessary focus to browse through code
velvet latch
Basically, if you have some heavy computing to do it's best to do it in C++ and spit out the result to blueprints.
I know what you mean. Blueprints make people much more efficient.
If you're a coding god though Slate is best for performance ๐
heavy yew
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio? I understand this is a common error, but the solution i allways see is that i dont have all the stuff in visual studio installed that unreal needs, however in this case i do.
velvet latch
Open it up in MSVC then and try to compile it and see what it says.
heavy yew
(also clicking open in visual studio says Could not edit the code editing IDE. then something about the sln file not being found)
MSVC?
velvet latch
Visual studio
Try opening the .sln file manually. It should be in your project's root folder.
heavy yew
weird.... there is no .sln file here
its just the normal (or atleast i assume normal) folders and a .uproject file
worthy fox
I just solved the baked lighting on Skeletal Meshes... In World Settings I changed Volume Lighting Method to VLM Sparse Lighting Volume and set Volume Light Sample Placement to 0.4 and Static Lighting Scale to 0.4 and now my Skeletal Meshes receive lighting from the lightmap.. Don't know how good this is on performance, but it works.. at least for now
heavy yew
I guess that explains why it cant find the sln, because i guess it failed to create one
velvet latch
Well there's your problem, no .sln file ๐
Right click your .uproject file and try to generate visual studio files
heavy yew
ok, i did it and it didnt make an sln
velvet latch
Hmm.... Weird.
flat plinth
Did you install the prerequisite sdks?
heavy yew
wait, is there anything i have to do in MSVC before i create the project?
or is it supposed to set up everything for me?
flat plinth
Which version of VS do have? 2015? 2017?
flat plinth
I remember having to set up my work computer for UE4 and I had to download like two different versions of the Windows 8.1 SDK before the builds worked. My home computer has both 2015 and 2017, but I think when installing 2017, there's an option at add like an Unreal Engine installation package that handles everything in regards to the prerequisites.
heavy yew
i have all the windows 8.1 SDKs installed...
also i dont even using windows 8.1
Should i just try reinstalling unreal / VS?
flat plinth
The issue he has is that the .sln isn't being generated.
cloud cobalt
@heavy yew What happens when you right click the uproject and hit "Generate project files" ?
mortal gale
Just use GCC.
silver crown
Why not clang?
mortal gale
Yeah, that too, UE4 actually doesn't like gcc.
mortal gale
SO LLVM Clang could work.
heavy yew
if so, it goes through the loading thing, then it just closes and doesent create any files
velvet latch
I feel like the best way to develop in UE is with Visual Studio because of the integration.
Maybe you could try cloning your project and see if that will fix the problem.
heavy yew
wdym cloning?
velvet latch
If you go into your library in the UE launcher you can clone your project by right clicking it. Basically making a copy of it.
With a bit of luck it might reconfigure anything that's off as it would be by default.
heavy yew
ok, gonna try that
ok... so something different happened
The following modules are missing or build wiht a different engine version.
velvet latch
Sorry I'm stumped.
Do you have a lot of progress on your project or can you try making a new one?

Oh I see. Well, I'm sorry I couldn't help you.

That's good enough, you want at least 16gb of ram as well. I still wouldn't recommend a laptop unless you really need the portability, nothing beats a desktop with duel/triple display setup for development. A single 1080p screen doesn't cut it.
you could always plug in another monitor into the laptop, it's just a bit janky

voxel farm has some nice features
if they actually work
lol
u might wanna think about getting some of their features into yours
:P

i know
i saw it
its not bad
what i like about voxel farm (in theory) is the ability to generate worlds based on biomes
and i think it even lets u spawn in prefabs
and such
silver crown
The graph system?

doesnt have a discord profile picture
You have been on here for a long time man
get a profile pic

.well no i wasnt saying it was an issue on your part
im just saying i dont have the skill to do what u did there
you made a pretty great tool
to create voxel worlds
i was just saying i dont have the skill to do that yet
silver crown
Well it's the case for lots of people
That's why I want to add macros
That way you can use high level functions, and look inside them to learn
plush yew
yeah
So like how does "multiplayer" work out
are u just using the unreal rpc's
to set the data

anyone use cinema 4d for unreal? if so, do you know if there is something you have to set up for the units of measurement?

Like underground ore?

Or the ability to set specific locations to have specific shader materials on specific areas (like biomes)
well i mean just in general
spawning small prefabs of objects
in a procedural way
i dont actually know what im talking about here
so please forgive me
silver crown
I kinda already have that
For the voxel actors (trees)
I want to rewrite it though
plush yew
i see
You know what else is missing in the ue4 community
Something like GAIA (this is a unity asset)
Really good asset
but not for voxel stuff
just regular terrrain tool
have u seen it?
silver crown
Yeah planning to do something like that at some point too
silver crown
Kinda limited by the time though

yeah?

what do you mean

The new Editable Mesh stuff has a couple Blueprint nodes. Just a couple. 
plush yew
ohhh
So I was looking at your video "in editor edits"
you thinking about adding custom stamps?
like based on a texture that a user picks
silver crown
Like meshes ?
silver crown
Well voxel, so 3d stamps
plush yew
instead of just projection, box, and sphere
silver crown
= meshes
plush yew
the only thing that i dislike about voxel stuff is that its very hard to include it as a core feature in a game
in my opinion
like
do you know what i mean?
Obviously minecraft is purely voxel based
but just being able to dig holes and stuff is very fun on its own
but doesnt really help add to a story driven game for example
silver crown
Indeed
silver crown
Yep
plush yew
because u can make like
really crazy shit
i might think about buying ur plugin
ill test it tho
silver crown
ofc
silver crown
Ah
silver crown
I don't have 100 people
plush yew
True
silver crown
So kinda hard to test
plush yew
the best u could do is perhaps make some sort of test case
where like
u have 100 actions queued up
winged crypt
not sure where to post this, do you guys know if there's a way to adjust the default pose of a skeletal mesh's skeleton? I want them in T-pose but setting a 'new pose' in the skeleton viewer doesn't actually change it for every mesh using the skeleton ๐
plush yew
but its still not very condusive
silver crown
Yep
The way I'm going with this is waiting for user requests
If someone wants to have 100 players, I'll try to make it work
But there's lot of more important stuff to do before that
plush yew
well yeah
im just saying this is something i wish i did
so my game can only handle basically 20 people
i wanted 50 though
but didnt even get close
because i didnt do proper testing procedures
which i didnt even learn until recently

To make an actor smoothly disappear you would need a translucent material and change the opacity over time
honest vale
@plush yew disappear how?
plush yew
Simply
plush yew
Vanishing
honest vale
you can't really use translucent materials since they don't have depth
so you use masked and use dithered alpha masking
and ramp it to 1
plush yew
how averything hard
honest vale
it's not
plush yew
So, I need to create special material with "alpha parameter"?
I dunno how to use material parameters from BP
Should I create new material every tick or just change parameter of already existing?
fair violet
You can use a material parameter collection if you want a quick and easy way to do it
plush yew
Or do I need some sort of "update material binding" for it?
fair violet
Then just set the collection parameter at a fixed rate
honest vale
have you followed any docs or tutorials on the topic?
that's a fairly well documented area of the engine
plush yew
Well, I'll search again
fair violet
If you want to do it with a normal parameter, then you have to create a dynamic material instance on begin play and set a reference to it, then at a fixed interval decrement the opacity using the Set Scalar Parameter node
plush yew
because at first sight I didn't find what i need
fair violet
As @honest vale said itโs probably best not to use translucent so youโll need to properly hook up the opacity in the shader before you decrement it

hey guys, do UE4 projects have a problem with being synced on dropbox?
grim sinew
yes
pearl sparrow
I've been working on both my laptop and PC using dropbox but now one of my levels crashes the editor ๐ฆ
grim sinew
Or rather, dropbox has a problem with Unreal, not the other way around. Dropbox doesn't like it when files change rapidly or get locked off mid sync
pearl sparrow
hmm thanks for the info
wierdly I can load the level if I play the game in a new window and use console commands
so I'm not sure how to fix the issue
grim sinew
You stop using dropbox.
It's just how it works, it'll always get confused when hundreds of files are getting changed around
Or you just close dropbox when you're working and re-open it when you're done

it work if I go in from character perspective

any ideas why?
plush yew
So any idea why its so complicated to get a bone rotation in blueprint?
im actually having a hell of a time with animation blueprints, i have industry standard animations, these work with root motion and at the end of the animation they will 'snap back'
basically its a turn animation (there's tuns more later) I'm trying to get the body to turn 90 degrees when the player looks 60 degrees to the left or right, I'll play the appropriate animation, however Unreal does not allow at all in any way shape or form I've tried to bend it to my will all day
but every time i hit a brick wall
so we have two graphs in an animation blueprint, and a fairly standard state machine setup we can optionally use. However there seems to be no way to communicate "back out", as in I can't send things between graphs, so we see here...
so here there is no way, i cannot say here animation notify
I've tried messing with the engine source, and the only solution I've gotten to work so far is to make a second exe that runs alongside the game and injects the events into the compiled game, I can package this into a launcher but it seems a hacky solution to a problem that shouldn't exist
in state machine we're even more limited, i can onlu pull in variables, no way to use notify the same and no way to get
plush yew
damnit why does epic do stuff differently from standard
we use our own skeleton and stuff, root motion normally 'snaps back' to 0, 0, 0 as is industry standard at the start of the animation
I just asked on the IRQ "Unreal Engine doesn't support many industry standard animation practices, if you want turning motion you'll either need to make some big source changes or forget having a proper idle turning system, ever notice PUBG how they have no turning, same problem, what you are trying to achieve is not currently possible through traditional means, animations can't be 'got' or played from normal blueprints easily and bone translations you can just forget it outside of the animation blueprint
i guess we're not having a turning system then, shame because we have a tun of root motion animations as well, professionally designed by another studio no one else has them we've had them for years unused (from other projects, features that didn't make it etc.). absolutely gutted
paper kernel
from what I understood, orientations are basically replaced with blendspaces
for getting bone translation, add socket and get socket transformation
vale osprey
@plush yew you can get bone transform using CopyBone in animation graph, or add a custom node using c+++
worthy fox
How do I visualize bounding boxes for my meshes in my level? I have a problem with OC and I want to adjust the bounding box for some of the meshes...
HZBO didn't do the job...
urban meadow
@plush yew there is a hacky way to get bone rotation in bp, you can have a poseable mesh component, set same mesh for each, set its master mesh to your skeletal mesh, then you can get bone transform information from that component

@exotic tangle make sure your texture sampler count in your Landscape material does not exceed 16.
If it does, make sure that the Texture Sample Nodes in your Material use Sampler Source: Shared Wrap

just launching it back up to check

@sudden agate - its this
sudden agate
change it
exotic tangle
to what you have?
sudden agate
yes
exotic tangle
kk
sudden agate
advice: do this for every texture sample node in the future. You only have advantages from it ๐
sudden agate
Think of a Shared Sampler as some kind of Texture Atlas. Whenever a texture is set to use a Shared Sampler, it is all "packed" into a single texture internally.
It reduces the overall Texture Sampler Count
it is not default because it would break legacy materials according to epic.
exotic tangle
Hey it seems to be working ๐
Ty Rail ๐
it was a minor thing, but very annoying thing

does any quality suffer for using Shared sampler?

wicked kettle
Hey guys! Is any1 here have a good video series about how to set up a full locomotion system in ue4? Or any1 can help here? I got all the animations just need to put it together, willing to pay!
keen birch
@wicked kettle I think you'll need to be a little bit more descriptive than that if you want proper suggestions
You want the animation-stuff for a humanoid to be set up nicely? Or also the entire character controller?
wicked kettle
I got the rigged humanoid with all the animations, and I need help to set it up properly in the engine
keen birch
But do you mean movement and that sort of thing by 'setting up'? Because that can mean pretty much anything
wicked kettle
I need it to put together the movement exactly
in ue4
So importing the animations to ue4 with the rigged human, setting the movement together / binded for the right key etc ( sprint = shift / walk = W / turning animations etc )
keen birch
Well, I mean, you could pay someone for that, or you could look at e.g. the first-/third-person controller starter project
And more or less replicate that
wicked kettle
Yeah, hopefully some1 with good experience in it will write ๐
keen birch
I do have experience with that stuff, but I think you'd be able to figure it out yourself as well!
wicked kettle
I just cant find a proper video setting it up with all the animations I have
keen birch
I haven't really looked at any of these
But once you get the idea of blend spaces and animation blueprints you can just click it all together in the same fashion
wicked kettle
yeah thanks, im checking these
latent moth
All, how can you set a physical material on a spline?
latent moth
i mean i want to trace a spline to understand what ground is my character walking on
the spline has a water mesh
but collision is not triggered.
cursive dirge
if you want to trace against spline mesh, make sure you spline mesh is using complex as simple for it's collision
latent moth
if i add a bounding box around the mesh then collision is triggered BUT then the character walks on water
cursive dirge
and that spline mesh itself is not simulating physics
latent moth
โcomplex as simpleโ?
cursive dirge
also, read this https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/collision-filtering
latent moth
i am familiar with that
the issue is that i cannot set the collision channel of a spline
cursive dirge
if you are familiar with that, why do you have issues with player walking on water?
you can literally filter the char so it doesn't walk on top of the surface
latent moth
itโs either on or off
cursive dirge
anyway
latent moth
ok but where do i set it is my question
cursive dirge
complex as simple uses the spline mesh polygons as collision
it's expensive if your mesh is high poly
so use it with care
latent moth
i donโt see the settings on the spline, nor on the mesh, nor on the material of the mesh
latent moth
i donโt see where unfortunately
you can set the mesh on the components of the spline
collision on/off
and thatโs that
btw thanks for helping out
cursive dirge
hmmm
wonder if you had to set that in the mesh you use for spline mesh then
it's been few years since I've done these
but it's definitely a thing
latent moth
the mesh is a static mesh
cursive dirge
otherwise you couldn't even make spline mesh roads as things would just fall through
latent moth
so you canโt set collision settings there either
cursive dirge
that's just image I saw on google image search
new mesh editor should still have that
you see the Use Complex As Simple thing in the details panel there?
latent moth
i donโt have it ๐
cursive dirge
it's not on by default
you have to swap to it
you should have Collision Complexity setting there
latent moth
this is what I have
AH FUCK
it's in details
now i need to understand how to not make it walk on water
I do need a bounding box on the mesh, right?
cursive dirge
it should have one by default
latent moth
even with this, the character walks on water
no it didn't have any box on default, i've added one
(yes i tried with simple as complex, and also NO COLLISION)... they still collide
latent moth
this is beyond my understanding.
all is set to ignore how come a pawn collides with it.

character itself isn't a physics simulated object
there could be some setting there but I wouldn't personally know about it, have barely touched CMC (character movement component)
technically, it's using those queries so your overrides should have an effect

I have an integer with numbers 0-8, I also have a variable actor class with 0-8 actors in. How would I get integer 4 and to select variable 4 to put into a spawn actor of class
Anyone @here able to help sorry to be a pain.
grim ore
any more details on what you are trying to do? it seems like you could divide by 2 if you are trying to get the mid number?
fierce tulip
simple pebble
So there's the integer which is actually the I'd for items in game such as rocks sticks etc. The actor is the static mesh with descriptions on. What in trying to do is if rock (id:3) is clicked it will find the corrisponding actor class and put it into spawn actor of class
hot ledge
grim ore
@simple pebble you can use a select or switch on int node to do that
an alternate way might be to have the item you click on hold what should be spawned and return that back when you click on it
simple pebble
Switch on integer?
grim ore
yes
but if your using blueprints it's literally called "Switch on Int"
if you are just passing along an object tho the select node is probably easier to use
simple pebble
I haven't used either yet I'll give it a shot
grim ore
with the select you feed in your integer on the index, then feed in each class on the left or select them from the drop down in the select node. Then feed the return value out into your spawn actor from class node. If you crate the Select node and plug the output into the Spawn Actor node (class pin) the Select node will automatically change to have Class as the input types and you can just go from there.

Hey guys, I'm creating an outline post processing material, in the SceneTexture node I can't find Clamp UVs. Where is it?
latent moth
All... I've been on this for 2 days and any help would be appreciated... Does anyone know how to make a trace by channel to a river spline work, in a way that the character does not WALK on water? i want to know that the character is in the river for sound effects, but they still should not FLOAT on the damn thing ๐
It seems that the "enable collision" setting of the splines is messing things up. I basically want to enable collision only on the VISIBLE trace channel of the static mesh used as component of the spline. It simply does not work.
cloud cobalt
You should use a different trace channel, really
Visible is for visibility, meaning all surfaces including non-collision
Why not use collision for the trace ?
latent moth
i have also tried a new channel: environment. The issue is that either no collision is returned, or my character floats on the spline.
the only thing that makes a difference is whether the static mesh of my components has a bounding box or not
if it has: character will float even if all collision is turned off https://gyazo.com/f35b6c2cbff5266bb2872120e605588f
cloud cobalt
Well, your water should probably have "OverlapAll" as collision setting
For the "in-water" detection
wary wave
it is ignoring all at the moment....
latent moth
exactly
cloud cobalt
The way it's set up it should ignore everything
latent moth
and even with that, the character FLOATS
cloud cobalt
What if you remove the water surface ?
latent moth
if i remove the bounding box on the static mesh then it goes in the water
you mean the mesh?
cloud cobalt
Yeah
latent moth
then I get to the ground
cloud cobalt
Okay, what if you set collision to "No collision" ? Instead of query only
cloud cobalt
Same = get to ground ?
latent moth
no
if bounding box on mesh = float
no bounding box on mesh = ground
regardless of all other settings
cloud cobalt
Forget about the bounding mesh, really, and work with the bounding mesh existing so that you understand the issue
latent moth
there's no bounding box on the mesh by default: it's a river
i've started adding one because the trace didn't collide with anything
cloud cobalt
YOu should have one, if you want to detect that the player is in water
So that's obviously a good idea
You just need to get collision working
You should start simple, put a basic box as a static mesh, and try to get the behaviour you want. Create a dumb box, set it to OverlapAll without changing anything else
latent moth
yeah
cloud cobalt
Check that your character does go into that box
latent moth
that works
the issue comes only with the splines
I'm also wandering what that "enable collision" means https://gyazo.com/513e78153c0297adcfbb3b885bbf4e1f
maybe that's the thing messing up the default behavior
cloud cobalt
That would be a master on/off switch like there is for all meshes
What if you create a new spline with an engine mesh, and set it to OverlapAll ?
latent moth
i can try that but if collision none still blocks my character... I'm still going to have issues
cloud cobalt
I just want to confirm if the issue is caused by specific settings on the spline like the physical material
There's like 500 different collision settings that can wreck havoc
Auto-weld, character can step on, collision preset
cloud cobalt
I also remember splines to have some collision issues, but let's not assume the worst...
Try with a dumb mesh, see if it works :/
latent moth
so you mean trying a "fake" river with a box that I can walk through
and see what collision settings work?
cloud cobalt
Create a new spline with a box, set it to OverlappAllDynamic, try moving into it, yeah
Don't parent it to anything, don't change anything else etc.
cloud cobalt
I won't ๐
silver crown
I didn't
Got this after running out of GPU memory
But I think my GPU crashed
Hard to tell as I'm in RDP though
Yeah seems to be that
ffs
paper kernel
nvidia really messed up with latest drivers tho
latent moth
@cloud cobalt so: overlapalldynamic does not work, BUT if I use the SAME static mesh of the river with good settings (i.e. ignore everything except the trace) then everything works as expected
so it stops working when it is part of a spline
this works perfectly on the static mesh: https://gyazo.com/434d8e9a38e98853c9eb3b9fb49c3cbe
but if this static mesh is part of a spline.. i WALK ON IT
cloud cobalt
That sucks
latent moth
i really used the same mesh... walks perfectly if placed in world, doesn't work in a spline.
Any ideas of wth i could try?
i mean

@latent moth Is the collision set up differently on the spline mesh?
latent moth
no
i mean
what you are seeing are the collisions of the spline static mesh
it's the same mesh
if I put it in the world manually, everything works
if it is put in the world as part of the spline, then collision gets overwritten and so the character walks on it instead of sinking in it
karmic igloo
Spline mesh components have their own collision, I think.
latent moth
how do you set it though?
karmic igloo
In the collision area on the spline mesh component.
If you're automatically generating spline meshes based on a spline, then you can click on the "Add Spline Mesh Component" node and you can change the collision there.
latent moth
not sure I understand? this is what I have https://forums.unrealengine.com/filedata/fetch?id=1469015&d=1525105358

If you're making a river I'd suggest making the river in your landscape and then using blueprint splines to make the water itself.
But that's just one way to do it.
latent moth
well that's what I am doing, except that I am using landscape splines because that allows me to adapt the terrain quicker
karmic igloo
Yeah well I don't know if there's a way to set up collisions like that on the landscape splines.
I think it might just use the landscape's collision as the template for the spline collision.

if anyone could point me towards some tutorial for that

you mean lift or drag behind you?
plush yew
any will work
latent moth
a simple lift can be achieved with the AttachToComponent node
you can attach a mesh to a socket of your character
so for instance you can attach a mug to the hand bone or a custom socket of a character
you'll obviously not have any animations of your character grabbing the object, that is a separate thing
but it'll get you started

hey we've replaced the physics engine in Unreal, an d found that velocity now always returns 0 (oddly enough it did this in the binary build as well :/), any idea how we can calculate it either in C++ or blueprint, we've gootten nowhere
we can do it via blueprint 'easily' however it always returns 0'd values every other frame, we made a massive (almost 700 nodes) function to do it and it did it, but our framerate absolutely hit the floor, I'm not hugely versed in C++ but we have a custom movement component, I've googled about a bit but as usual found nothing
karmic igloo
@plush yew If you just want to find the velocity, you can subtract the previous frame's position to the current frame
karmic igloo
and then divide by delta time.
Well that's weird. Does your object only move every other frame?
plush yew
so yeh we can't really do much with that its pretty useless :/
i even just put an add actor local offset, set it to sweep and applied a downward force for testing
still only returns every other frame
karmic igloo
Is there something else printing a vector?
plush yew
no I did check
karmic igloo
Well then I'm not sure what the problem is.
plush yew
I actually only found out because it was screwing our gravity calc up
probably crappy engine 2bh
it has a lot of problems like this constantly battling with it
wary wave
I'm pretty certain this is a case of user error
if nothing else is printing a vector you could be calling it twice per tick or something
plush yew
I cleared out the blueprint just to be sure
wary wave
twice per tick seems to be the case, which is why you get a zero
'cos current position = previous position
plush yew
karmic igloo
And then you have a custom movement component that's making it move?
plush yew
we have a custom movement component yeh and some other blueprint event function making it move
we tried just a basic movement in one direction in the tick for testing
that still returned same result
karmic igloo
And have you set the print string time to 0 to see if it's only printing one per frame?
plush yew
karmic igloo
Set it to 0 so that the message doesn't stay.
plush yew
print string 0 shows 2 values
wary wave
the other possible explanation is two actors
karmic igloo
Then you're printing 2 values per frame.
wary wave
one not moving will also print 0
plush yew
i dont see where?
wary wave
you can verify that by additionally printing the name of the actor
plush yew
oh here i missed the search
if a take the print node away ther's nothing
that is the only print node
karmic igloo
Is there only one object in the scene you're testing?
wary wave
this is why I said print the name of the actor at the same time
plush yew
I did do a branch to only print if the value is above 0 and i got one line with 0, 0, 0
so we tried this in our custom engine, and the binary engine and in both the same problem presents
karmic igloo
How many actors are in your scene?
plush yew
your a star yeh that's fixed it
wonder why even though the other actor isn't active its still active though
i mean its an easy problem to fix just curious

had a massive problem yesterday we have our engine dude ripping out the entire animation system of the engine, since we cannot use turn rotation animations effectively
got it
i always thought it was an 'off until you tell it otherwise' system glad we got this one early
we have animations that are industry standard and using a custom skeleton, and we cannot say "at the end of the turn animation put the character 90 degrees to the left", the entire animation system is effectively 'one way' which seems kind of old, even source engine had a better system set up for them
wary wave
"at the end of the turn animation put the character 90 degrees to the left",
sounds like root motion

- Is it possible to move the capsule component on a character? My characters capsule component is Z-Coordinate is at -90 units below (see Image one)
- How do you utilize the playerstart? My players are currently spawning at 0,0,0 not the player start.
tough sierra
Still doesnt seem to fix the problem unfortunately
wary wave
it looks correct in the screen cap
as for player starts, that'll be determined by your game mode class
tough sierra
How do you change it?
wary wave
the default game mode base classes should use it automatically IIRC
otherwise you can override the FindPlayerStart function (and a couple of other related functions) to behave as you need it to
tough sierra
Heres the classes of my gamemode:
wary wave
that's irrelevant?
tough sierra
Isnt the gamemode what chooses the playerstart?
wary wave
there are dedicated functions you can override
you'll see them in the drop down inside the game mode class
tough sierra
Under class settings? all I see is
wary wave
no IN in the class
tough sierra
yeah you hover over functions then override

@brawins#6695 if the cast fails it means either the reference is null or the cast didnโt succeed (like if you tried to put a key into a lock that doesnโt match it).
In this case your hud reference isnโt set properly most likely and is null

dont multi post ur question in different channels
ancient obsidian
@tame flint There is no simple answer to that. If you're doing game logics, formulas, scripts - you won't notice any difference between C++ and BP. Complex algorithms, like custom pathfinding, for example, better be moved to C++.
The best practice is to use both C++ and BP, for the same reason you'd have C++ and text scripting for other engines.

you can also autoconvert BPs to C++ code
there are caveats but works pretty well
anyway donโt prematurely optimize
