Connect the target pin
regal mulch
You need to connect it to the right reference that holds the energy variable
That is because the set energy node is not from your stats class
But from the widget
Pull the wire from the stats reference
And search for set energy
And use that
plush yew
yo whats the difference between 2GB and 4GB for graphics card
can you send me screenshot?
I wil try how you say me
regal mulch
@plush yew the ram on them
plush yew
well will both work with unreal engine
regal mulch
@plush yew No buddy. Just do what i told you
Drag from the stats reference and search for set energy
plush yew
regal mulch
@plush yew UE4 has a minimum requirements page. Please refer to that
plush yew
alright
regal mulch
We arent a tech talk, sorry
regal mulch
That is not what i told you
Read it again
- Drag from Stats
- Release on an empty spot
- Search for SetEnergy
- Replace the one that doesnt work with the new one
cedar snow
@plush yew through epic games launcher
click on the plus next to "Engine Versions"
plush yew
which energy? lol
hasty perch
i migrated a file from one project to another and i accidently replaced a different one is it possible to undo that
manic pawn
yes, just revert in version control
hasty perch
how do i do that
plush yew
@regal mulch which to choose from the screenshot?
regal mulch
Isn't that your code?
manic pawn
if you don't have that set up then you're out of luck
regal mulch
You should know what you are doing there
manic pawn
and should consider this a lesson to set it up asap
regal mulch
@plush yew Also, tick the "Context Sensitive" at the top right
Then you should see less results
@hasty perch Always use #source-control
Costs like 5$ a month on Digital Ocean
Hosting a Perforce Server there
Then you can properly submit changes and rollback if you or the engine breaks it
rocky kayak
if you dont have source control set up, you could always check your project's Saved\Autosaves folder
did something similar when i first started out and that folder was a huge timer saver
plush yew
I did it-now what?
rocky kayak
now it should work
regal mulch
@plush yew :D follow the steps I told you
regal mulch
Don't think so
plush yew
hmm
regal mulch
I assume if Energy is > Max, you want to set it to max
plush yew
instead of spending $200 on graphics card, I can just install an older version 😄
regal mulch
In the end you want a PC that can handle UE4
plush yew
If I wanted to just replace the default idle and walk animation how would I do that? I already have an animation I want to use.
No I must set it to the normal energy
I will test it now
regal mulch
@plush yew If the Skeleton has your versions assigned
Then you should be able to change the Walk Blendspace
And just put your anims into that
vivid tapir
Hello?
vivid tapir
where's the best place to master blueprints
sudden agate
Unreal Engine
plush yew
what are these master blueprints? for what are they?
cedar snow
i think he used "master" as a verb
dim arch
what is the best way to check if a variable has remained in the same state over a fixed amount of time
for example if Bool Pressed = 1 for the last 2 seconds then
rocky kayak
probs setting a timer to reset it?
cedar snow
or float LastPressedAt
dim arch
is there a node which has a timer that checks the variable state each tick?
cedar snow
then do something like if(now > LastPressedAt + Duration)
dim arch
this is in BP btw
I can make it like that but thought maybe theres a node which has a timer on it
cedar snow
depends on what you want when to happen 😃
rocky kayak
^
dim arch
well the function "input touch state" passes a 0/1 if it is touched
cedar snow
like whether you want to check lazily for it, or trigger something when the time is up
dim arch
once it has been touched for over 2 seconds I wanna fire an event
so basically once you hold your finger down for 2s it changes the camera mode
so I need to check every frame if it is still 1
cedar snow
yeah, either check each frame or use a timer
rocky kayak
its not the timer that would be checking it, the timers just setting it back to default
you'd branch if >0

dim arch
I want to introduce my friend to level design, does.anyone know of any tech/cyberpunk style asset packs he could use to build a scene?
leaden garnet
free or paid asset packs?
dim arch
Free or possibly sub 100bux
leaden garnet
Is your friend completely new to UE4 itself?
dim arch
Yeah kinda he has modelling experience, but wants to do level design/bp
regal mulch
@dim arch if you want to call something after x seconds of pressing, start a timer on the pressed event and clear it on release
leaden garnet
The soul city pack should do fine? @dim arch
regal mulch
No need to check any state
dim arch
So need some buildings and props
leaden garnet
Soul city is free btw
dim arch
Yeah maybe soul.city and infiltrator.
Didnt check the soul packs yet thanks and thanks @regal mulch
astral marsh
Can someone help me i want to spawn an object by standing on triggerbox?
can any1 explain me?
leaden garnet
Add/Edit BP of the trigger box, look for "On Collision" for the box, then spawn whatever you want
astral marsh
Ratchet can you help me in screenshare?
dim arch
@astral marsh check ue4 yt
astral marsh
i dont find any tutorials @dim arch

Yep also on the documentation
gleaming latch
I have a question
when starting to make a game, do you start with the background, landscape, models or carachter?
I want to make a ww2 game
I need a lot of help
can someone teach me how he imported the maya model he made as a landscape?
I am lost
he was doing uv mapping and then I got kinda lost in what he did
grim ore
You can start with anything when making a game, in the end you need it all.
defining the idea itself completely might be a good start tho
tall pendant
He is using meshes not landscapes
marble spire
wtf
theres no way to use the same assets pack on two projects?
without have to download again
grim ore
when you download something from the marketplace it stores it locally in your cache so yes it would work fine without re downloading on future projects
marble spire
but it only imports in one project
if i put to import in the another one it starts to download again
rocky kayak
what it does is it saves it inside the folder of your project
marble spire
if i move or copy to another, it gives error when trying to read the assets
so i just need space to have another?
thats kind of sad
tall pendant
all assets should be stored in your vault and easliy reusable in as many projects you want
gleaming latch
I am lost
marble spire
But i still need more HD space, right?
gleaming latch
I think he did a heightmap
marble spire
if is a 6gb assets, and i want to use in 2, i need 12gb
tall pendant
per project yes
tall pendant
@gleaming latch Wiktor is using modular static meshes (from maya) on top of a simple landscape (generated in UE4)
gleaming latch
what does that even mean?
I think I should try and do something easier
what should I start with?
grim ore
yep. Try the learn section and start from the top
plucky reef
uhm just wanna ask something guys, which is better for unreal engine? i7-8700k or ryzen 2700x?
silver crown
Depends on what you're doing
rose quartz
I'm still struggling with the materials instance / materials to assign to the walls. I did read something about material instance groups. But I use substance materials and they have a instance but do I create for every wall the same material with instance for that wall to change the colour? Like if I have 48 wall and 50 wallpapers then I have like 2.4k of materials with instances
tough barn
anyone else here us Virtus videos?
Is there a good tut series that explains how to create customizable characters from A to Z for new users?
tribal relic
Is there a series of tutorials the Community here agrees is best other than the "Learn" section? Or should I dive right in as a TOTAL noob?
worn granite
Different approaches work for different people. I basically watched tuts while UE downloaded then dove in and got to grips from there.
tribal relic
+1 for Coffee Flash Fry
tough barn
Well besides the learn videos. The Virtus series was something I enjoyed quite a bit. As for customizable characters I want something that explains why we are doing something AS we are doing it. Virtus does a good job especially during blueprints explaining as we move along. Feels almost like I am in a class. I am not a fan of the do this and that without any proper explanation. Right now I am watching his 3d creation thinking that it might be there but no luck so far. Anyways thanks for the help etc.

proper moss
Hello , when I try to load Unreal engine, it stucks at 45% ! Please help quickly !!!
plush yew
@proper moss you may be short of ram, please look at unreal system requirements by searching
proper moss
Well, i have 8gb of ram
plush yew
damn ARTv1 is garbage
your install process if you installed from source may have been faulty, or you may have some missing files. unreal loads in like a few moments for me usually. it should never take more than a minute to load. if it does, the easiest thing to do is to install the latest version ofunreal from the launcher, or compiling from source.
plush yew
if you have a lot of shaders, that process happens automatically and compiles them once for the shaders. so just wait it out or alter your project to not include so many materials and other texture assets.
proper moss
I just tried to open the software itself, not a file
plush yew
yes once in unreal the shaders have to compile to be displayed in the viewport
proper moss
So the first time you open unreal, it takes a long time for it to load ?
plush yew
first time yep it can take a while for a project with a ton of data in it. but just wait it out. again make sure you aren't running other processes with high RAM or something like that and your wait time will be less.
proper moss
I just tried to open softwrae, not a project !
plush yew
did you source build it or download from launcher?
proper moss
i have 3ds max opened, firefox, steam, skype, discoird, spotify and task manager
I downloaded from epic game launcher
plush yew
are you seeing that screen
plush yew
ok the problem might be your firewall, it could be blocking data transfer
proper moss
I have default firewal
plush yew
try killing the unreal proc, disabling firewall, restarting the app.
proper moss
be right back
plush yew
all right. by the way you should leave it for at least 15 minutes to try loading on the first time.
i googled unreal initializing 45 and several people reported the same problem with 4.18. there's some caching issues possibly and you have to wait for the cache to build. that coudl be the reason. so just be patient i suppose.
hope that helps
proper moss
Back
plush yew
did you already kill the proc?
proper moss
Yes
plush yew
because i should have told you to wait for at least 15 minutes first
how long were you waiting
before you killed it
proper moss
1-2 hours
proper moss
I killed it already
plush yew
it takes me like 1 min to load
less
actually
i remember my first time took a while. but not that long.
proper moss
How do i autorise permissions for unreal in firewall ?
plush yew
can you consider downloading 4.19.2 from launcher?
plush yew
you just allow the app through the firewall when windwos firwall pops up
or you have to manually make inbound outbound rules in windwos firewall
if you need a quick fix, try just disabling firwall for few hours and running unreal proc
proper moss
oh wait I have avast
proper moss
plush yew
that might help.
proper moss
Where the heck do i go ?
plush yew
i found a ton of results on google from unreal initializing 45 search btw.. you might consider looking through each result on there
to disable it in your antivirus?
i dont have avast
so you gotta use the procedure u use to add an exception
grim sinew
Just ignore it for a while. it has nothing to do with the firewall, it's just compiling shaders
45% is one of the places it stops at when doing so
proper moss
What do I do while it do that ?
grim sinew
Get some coffee, only happens once per engine version
It'll take a few minutes depending on your computer
proper moss
Well I tried the first time, I waited 1-2 hours, nothing.
grim sinew
If you look in your task manager you'll see a ton of shadercompileworkers in the background
It could be your cpu is just slow
plush yew
try closing your other open apps and running the engine proc? you mentioned you have 3ds max and a bunch of stuff open at the same time..
that or just leave it running overnight
the creative process takes time anyway, right? 😃
took me almost a year to do my game
proper moss
If you look, you'll see that it was only 1 shader thinf opened
grim sinew
Yet your CPU is at 100%
There's no benefit in it opening more of them if your CPU is already maxed out.
proper moss
Then what do I do ?
pine parcel
When you play a sound 2d, does the execution pin wait for the wave to finish before continuing?
Meh ill just test it with two sounds
duh, yep... although I wonder what this concurrency settings dropdown is
pine parcel
Is there a better way to block execution while a sound plays besides manually delaying the execution pin?
plush yew
add delay node, keep going?
proper moss
@pine parcel Why did you cut what I said with changing topic
pine parcel
SoundCue?
plush yew
Delay Node in the soundcue, yep. @pine parcel
plush yew
would you use some sort of array to set default pawn class for all levels to create a character select screen system or something else

Hi everyone i need some help, so I'm making a horror game within Third person game template. i attach camera to the player head so it looks like a True First person game (FPS but you can see your leg). but now i regret my decision.
Is there any way to make The player hand move as the player camera go? i mean like, for example the player is holding a flashlight, and i want the player hand move where the camera go, so it looks like more realistic?. or maybe there is a way to change from Third Person to First Person Template whithout recreating the whole thing? I'm sorry im kindda new to UE4 and I'm sorry if my english is bad, and i'm sorry if you dont get it, i will try to explain it again. (and I'm not sure if im talking in the right channel, correct me) Thx!
elfin stream
Sounds like you need to look up animation offsets.
So you can interpret the position of the hand based on camera direction.
similar to how they do shooters with gun aiming etc.
potent wing
and how to do that? can you explain it? thx
elfin stream
you need to look up animation offsets.
potent wing
Okay thx for your answer sir, i will look up the animation offsets later, Thx alot!
remote roost
what's the best reference for learning UE4 materials

Hey guys, got another question to ask today.. Does anyone see an error in the logic of this gate?
https://gyazo.com/a46434fa91017631ab1f195e6790271f
Basically, its getting the arm length of the spring arm, which is set to 400 by default.
checking if it is greater than or less than my limit
it works when i remove the gate, which leads me to believe that I am setting up the gate wrong.
Just double checked to be sure, it is never exiting the gate.
paper kernel
you know, a single OR operation would be enough
assuming you want to clamp camera arm zooming here
if arm lenght > min OR < max -> set float
quaint hare
wait what, i changed a number and it lets me zoom out infinitely now...
wouldnt that cause an issue if I try to zoom in but have the max zoom out range?
I assume you are suggesting something like
0 < X < 500
paper kernel
no, it just wouldn't set the value if new value is above maxium limit
quaint hare
oh
i see what you mean
i would set the float as long as the added or subtracted value doesnt go over or under my limit
@paper kernel what function were you thinking of that would function like that?
only thing I can find are x > y, x < y, etc. etc.
you said it could be done with a single one.
paper kernel
2 separate float comparisons combined to OR operation, which controls branch
quaint hare
its working now 😃

i need help, is there a way to random spawn an actor/object with percentage of the item spawn, and amount? for example, i want atleast 20 batteries spawn at a map? with 40 target point scattered around the map? sorry if im unclear, ping me if you have the solution, Thx!
i also need another help
for example i have an object that have a large box collusion, but i dont want this box got triggered if the player enter the box collision outside the room/behind a wall. how do i do that?
oh another one, how do i play a sound randomly? using Retriggerable Delay with Random Float in range? will that work?
Thx alot in advance!
pallid compass
Ye its called math
And %
With < >
U prob wann look up some basic math examples
And look at spawn chance

can you show me how its done?
is it done within Level Blueprint or Actor blueprint (sorry for wrong channel)

plush yew
yes I forgot this function and I don't know how to rremembered it
potent wing
to unpause the game untick the box

paper palm
Edit: Problem solved, read last sentence. Hey everyone! Hope you're having a good day today. I haven't really used this discord yet although I've been apart of it for a while. Anyways, I have a quick question. I'm trying to project the mouse position to world space. There are several ways to go about this with line traces as well as convert mouse location to world space, convert screen location to world space as well as get hit result under cursor by channel. I need the ability to hold down a button while projecting to world space. Convert mouse location to world space and Get hit result under cursor by channel seem to not work because I believe when I click the button, it consumes the mouse position for this. However, the convert screen location to world space works when get mouse position in viewport or on platform is hooked up to it. I'm assuming also because they aren't pure functions. This would work, except it appears that the world position is offset down and to the left. At the topleft corner of the viewport, there is no offset while at the bottom right corner there is the most offset. It also appears that the offset grows exponentially. The farther you get from the top left corner, the more offset there is. Any help would be much appreciated. (Sorry for the lengthy message) 😛 Edit: Solved my problem by multiplying the vector2d by the viewport scale 😄

How can I convert my project from 4.16 to 4.19
correctly
Because I always get errors
and cannot launch the project

Go to your project or find the .uproject file, right click, switch engine version @unique halo
Before that, make a copy.

yes but I get errors

Does someone now why my camera shakes all the time when i walk back or to the sides ?
its shaking like crazy
paper kernel
could be character shaking
near osprey
And where can I find this ?
grim ore
check to see where your camera is connected to on your player. If you moved it onto the player and not onto a spring arm or another item to dampen it might be moving when the head or other body part moves

Im pretty new to UE4 so can anybody help me to fix this "Lightmap UV is overlapping" error?
leaden garnet
Check your UV, make sure things arent overlapping
earnest elbow
idk what an UV is like i said i dont know anything xDD

All, I have a camera attached to the NECK of my character. When I enter ragdoll mode, the camera does not follow the direction of the head anymore. Is that to be expected?
earnest elbow
@leaden garnet no i imported a csgo map
i found smth maybe it works
Open the mesh editor and make sure you have the Generate Unique UVs tab open (Window>Generate Unique UV's)
Now in the Unique UV's tab check Create New and click Apply
Now in the mesh editor top menu bar click the dropdown that says UV Channel 0 and change it to UV Channel 1 which should be your new UV set, you can enable UV overlay to see the difference between the 2
Save the Mesh and it should keep using the unique UV's
when i change it to UV channel 1 and click save and open the Mesh Editor again its changes itself back to None
near osprey
@grim ore the camera is connected with the head
i changed the thired person camera into an first person camera

@near osprey the easiest thing to do is make a FPS template project and see how the camera is set up. You do not really want it mounted to a physics object or an object that has animation unless you want the movement translated to the camera

Hello folks,
I have question about importing FBXs from max to UE4 with custom attributes/parameters. Is that supported from UE4 side? I can't find any relevant info about that and with UE importer, there is no checkbox for something like: Use FBX custom parameters - float, string, color etc. 🤔
Thank you for any suggestion.
plush yew
i'll kill myself
Who i need to talk for this crash ?
@plush yew i found some results on google with looking for VtuneApi32e.dll looks to be either swarm agent related (might need to restart the agent with cache -> clean) or you might need to install graphics card drivers.
me too
Some results, but any solve works
what version of the engine u using
4.19.2
question about android permissions in #mobile
@plush yew hey are you using an amd graphics card?
no
ok found a promising link on that. seems like an odd bug man. i hope you fix this.
i found no good fix on the results 😦
:x
I will kill myself xDD
lol dont do that
Thanks for your help..
Windows 10 64 bits
UE 4.19.2
And, what about u ?
here is what i would do if i was you - try to uninstall and re-install ue 4.19.2 and make sure your graphics card / directx drivers are up to date (directx should happen automatically when ue is installed with the ue pre-reqs)
Anybody used ARTv1 or Maya to create dynamic chains im trying to make a hooded cape/robe
@unique gull what are you trying to import with your FBX?
Dude
Maybe
You could copy your UE directory, and send to me ?
Please :c
Maybe my computer can't install .dll files
usually the only things on fbx import you need are UVs and smooth mesh / smoothing groups / triangulation @unique gull
I'm keeping faith
I am using a source built UE @plush yew
What is it x)
i am using your same version though 4.19.2
Yeahhh
But
My error significate, i don't have .dll.
Maybe if u give me your UE directory
It is can be works.
I just want to test it.
Please.
U dont know me
try to delete your intermediate and saved folders in your game project @plush yew
Already done
:c
U don't know me, it's anoying to host the directory, but, please.
Dot it for me xD
😐
i dont understand how that can help? can't you just re-download the 4.19.2 ue engine version? just uninstall and reinstall. try that?
the filebase is the exact same from what epic has
Already done
:c
Unity is good ?
But Unity uses C# and not C++ :c
is your issue that you made a game in unreal and you can't access the game project?
when you try to open the uproject file?
because i was going to say you can also try migrating everything to a new game uproject if you didn't do too much work on it and the files can migrate easily.
Wait
I'm not english, i'm trying to understand what do you are saying
well i dont have a ton of tiem to like debug the entire thing man i am doing my own game
you have to just try every step on that search result until you get it fixed
It's when i pressed on "Launch" button.
okay do you want to try to source build the engine?
you have the time for that?
Yeah, i'm thinking
It can resolve the problem ?
yep but you gotta do several steps, and i can't help you through it cuz i am gonna be workin on a game
i can give you the guide though
if you wanna try it
Ya
Sure dude
so here is the setup i use to source build my unreal engine versions, you should double check with unreal source build on google to verify you are doing it right. anything more you can check out #engine-source and ask for help there in source building it. you just need to install visual studio (easy process) and make sure to select game development with c++ as enabled, and keep going with the install. all the steps are clearly outlined.
hope that helps!

Is there no way to use C++ DataAssets in editor?

thorn topaz
@safe rose he's creating a BP child of the C++ asset there. I want to just use the C++ version
but it's not looking like that's possible so I may just have to go the UObject route
manic pawn
he's not creating a bp child
he's creating an instance of the data asset class
using a special editor factory that first lets you pick a data asset subclass to create an instance of

Hi, can anyone give me more information on Sprite components? I'm looking at the "Content Examples" project from Unreal and the static meshes in the project are often children of a sprite component. Looking in the documentation there are mostly examples of the "Paper 2D Sprites" but not components. Why put the other components under a sprite?
Here is an image of what I'm talking about 😃

Hi folks. I'm trying to understand the difference between control rotation and actor rotation. Is control rotation the rotation of the input controls - such as mouse? And actor rotation is the rotation of an actor in the 3D world?

Does anyone know how to create proper gunplay for a tps?

So, I have a frog type of character. I'm overriding the default movement behavior by Consuming the Input Vector and make the frog hop instead of just a regular move. This is working perfectly if I possess the frog myself as a player. However, now I'm trying to get my AI working. If I use the "Move To" task in a behavior tree, the frog just slides straight to the target. I had assumed that, underneath the hood, "Move To" would use Add Movement Input in order to move... but it appears to completely bypass that and do it's own thing. So I tried creating my own custom task that will Add Movement Input, but it is still not working as predicted. The frog still slides, but now for some reason extremely slowly. And if I try to Print out the Pending Input Vector inside the frog tick it is always 0, despite the frog sliding. Anyone have any idea why?

anyone know if niagara is working in 4.20p3

okay, the answer is because the pawn input is irrelevant
the player controller takes the input stack, the pushes events on to the pawn
disabling input for the pawn does nothing
'cos it never receives any in the first place

ah, seems logical
surreal viper
is there an easy way to decide in OnConstuction() if the object is an instance placed in the level or the blueprint itself?
maybe if the outer is an ULevel or not 🤔

bitter iris
Are box brushes in geometry bad for performance?
wary wave
@surreal viper in blueprint, annoyingly, no
in C++ there is a flag you can check
though it only works if the asset / level has been saved prior to playing
probably something like RF_Transactional
can't recall
surreal viper
if it can be done in c++ it can be done in BP with a static c++ function, or?
wary wave
you can write a BP exposed function to check the flag, yeah
@surreal vipera:
return HasAnyFlags(RF_WasLoaded);
grim ore
@bitter iris box brushes are worse performance than static meshes. Bad for performance is relative to how many you use and what you use them for.
wary wave
if it was loaded, it was in the level when you loaded the game
bitter iris
@grim ore I may or may not have build an entire building out of them lol
wary wave
there are some other similar flags you can check depending on your needs
grim ore
@bitter iris I made an entire game jam out of them so no biggie. You can always convert them to static meshes in the engine as well if you want.
surreal viper
@wary wave checking outer seems to work better for me
if (Cast<ULevel>(GetOuter()) != nullptr)
@grim ore does this when i convert it to a static mesh
wary wave
fair
bitter iris
Is anyone using Simplygon? I may need to us it down the line
grim ore
yeah you might have to work on the UV mapping for it since your using multiple faces in that mesh now. You can always try and generate a new uv map, adjust it outside the engine, or try and clean up the mesh itself before converting. Or just keep it as a brush 😃
bitter iris
If the brushes arent that taxing, it has to be something else 😦
Gotta figure out how im gunna lower down Shadow Depths and Basepass
languid shard
@bitter iris have you tried to use "stat scenerendering" ?
and the profiler too
ctrl+shift+,
or j cant remember
bitter iris
ill type that in now 2 secs
@languid shard nothing comes up with stat scenerendering
bitter iris
ahh there we go
languid shard
yeah no wonder you have performance problems
bitter iris
why
languid shard
look at that drawcall count
languid shard
yeah
bitter iris
Ohh okay
languid shard
unless you use instanced meshes
bitter iris
Shall i convert it all to 1 mesh?
languid shard
it will add a mesh drawcall and as much material drawcalls as you have meshes
you can do that, or use instanced meshes
bitter iris
whats instanced meshes (sorry im a noob at most of this)
bitter iris
yeh manually
languid shard
right
well you can either use the merge actor tool
window > developer tools
you can also make your own script to replace meshes by instanced meshes
or else there's a few plugins on the market that do this
bitter iris
Ill stick with merging actors 😅
languid shard
this is the one I use
bitter iris
One thing i wanna learn how to do is, once i got all my buildings done, i wanna put it in 1 blueprint so i can just select them
languid shard
when you merge a selection of actors
it creates a static mesh asset in your content browser
you can start building around that asset
bitter iris
Thanks dude
Appreciate the help
@languid shard When you merge them all, how do I get it so the same materials are together not all singles?
As i have 664 materials on the 1 mesh
and 95% of the same material
