CPU too

#

Why would you run that on GPU?

leaden onyx Jul 5, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

same, yeah, it runs on gpu but compiles on cpu

vale osprey Jul 5, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

I know that it uses CPU but you need to install compiler which might object

leaden onyx Jul 5, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

in case of something like opengl it compiles it on cpu in driver's code

vale osprey Jul 5, 2018, 2:05 PM

#

ahh wait UE4 might be using it's own anyway

silver crown Jul 5, 2018, 2:05 PM

#

I think yes

#

Which UE version are you usinh @leaden onyx

leaden onyx Jul 5, 2018, 2:05 PM

#

4.19 for development

#

but its not the problem for sure

silver crown Jul 5, 2018, 2:06 PM

#

If you want I can send you a 4.19 zip

leaden onyx Jul 5, 2018, 2:07 PM

#

Ill just move it through rdp, thanks though!

#

guess it should work since I believe it is not changing anything in registry

silver crown Jul 5, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

If you can avoid using RDP for that

#

It's slow

leaden onyx Jul 5, 2018, 2:08 PM

#

probably true, don't see a network disc, but its no hurry anyway

#

thanks @silver crown

#

tho you get a error message when you install ue4 from the launcher that a GPU was not found?

silver crown Jul 5, 2018, 2:09 PM

#

Yes, as the launcher is basically a game

#

And this is a RDP session, so no GPU at all

#

Only CPU

leaden onyx Jul 5, 2018, 2:10 PM

#

yeah error message when you try to start launcher

I thought there might be command line arguments

#

Let me know how it goes 😃

leaden onyx Jul 5, 2018, 2:12 PM

I've done it in the past, when gpu was not required

didn't expect it to change

but now launcher became like Steam client

Have you tried doing what the error message said to do and build it in visual studio?

plush yew Jul 6, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

yea i get over 800 errors when i try to compile it in visual studio

grim sinew Jul 6, 2018, 12:50 AM

#

Don't you think you should look at what those errors are?

#

800 errors is no small number.

plush yew Jul 6, 2018, 12:50 AM

#

the thing is i didnt change the source

#

i literally just redownloaded a zipped project which was working yesterday and i tried running it today and it wont work

grim sinew Jul 6, 2018, 12:51 AM

#

Well that's nice, but it ultimately doesn't matter when you have 800 errors. You need to look at those errors and figure out from there what the cause is.

#

Something probably changed either in the engine source or in your project that caused a large, sweeping problem.

#

If, as you claim, you cleaned out all the intermediate files and such that could have glitched out.

#

That narrows it down to a pretty small list of things that could be wrong.

#

It might be the wrong engine version, maybe the engine was modified in some way, etc.

plush yew Jul 6, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

ok thanks for your help.. i have no idea how to even beginlooking because the errors are all in the engine code.. my old projects work fine but i simply can't rebuild them anymore.. i guess i have to try reinstalling the engine etc

grim sinew Jul 6, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

If you deleted Binaries, DerivedDataCache and Intermediate then it's probably not something simple you can fix up instantly. Those are the usual culprits that everyone always cleans out first.

plush yew Jul 6, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

yes i deleted all those folders.. tried rebuilding from source and tried running it from unreal

#

same problem each time

plush yew Jul 6, 2018, 1:25 AM

#

@plush yew gotta go thru all the errors and step thru them one by one

#

might be a good idea to get a new engine version and try recompiling it

#

if the errors are in that code

#

i also recommend using source control to make sure this kinda stuff doesn't hapen again

#

sometimes a corrupt file can cause problems in your game

@eternal talon your friend wants to connect to your game?

#

you need to create a session for your game and set up your listen server that way, and make sure to use join session, or, you'll need to create a dedicated server and have people connect using exec console command open x.x.x.x

Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue... I am trying to make a weapon firing system that can endlessly be expanded without any further modification to the script. To continue I need to somehow store the sphere collider component on my "shotgun" that serves as a projectile origin inside my data table. However, I have no clue how to put these things in the data table.. Anyone have an idea?

#

I have tried messing with object/class references of sphere colliders and actor components under the structure for my weapon template.

#

However, I cant find the sphere collider when I try to filter for it after making these changes.

plush yew Jul 6, 2018, 2:12 AM

#

Hey thanks @plush yew and @grim sinew for helping.. I solved the problem. For anyone who might have trouble building make sure the folder your project is in does not start with a number. Unreal creates macros with your folder name and if it starts with a nunber the generated macro will cause a compilation error

In this case though the FoV is changing because of the lens' focal length

#

If we use Movable lights in a scene, can we avoid lightmaps/baking entirely?

grim ore Jul 6, 2018, 4:24 AM

#

IF you are trying to store data in a data table at run time you will find you cannot. Data tables are editor only for construction and read only at runtime

#

yes if you use movable lights you will not have to bake. The downside is you will have potentially less performance than if you used one of the baked lighting methods.

hoary charm Jul 6, 2018, 4:26 AM

#

@grim ore Thanks! If I already have a scene baked and want to change to movable, do I need to clear anything or something? Or will changing it be all that is required?

grim ore Jul 6, 2018, 4:28 AM

#

if you change to movable you don't have to do anything but your old lightmap will still be there. You can find it under the world settings tab in the lighting/lightmap section and remove it/tell it to not use one

#

There is a button in the 'World Settings' tab called "Force No Precomputted Lighting." This deactivates Lightmass' ability to produce light and shadowmaps, forcing the level to only use dynamic lighting.

#

if you do that then build lighting again it will delete the lightmap and save space

hoary charm Jul 6, 2018, 4:30 AM

Awesome thanks so much. testing this out now.

I’m packaging my game right now. It has one level with maybe 20-30 different materials in it in total. After ~5 minutes of packaging a tab pops up saying “Compiling shaders” and the numbers for that go up until it reaches around 8500. Then the whole thing freezes (I can’t tell if it’s still going or not but it starts slowing down or freezing my entire PC). Any ideas?

latent warren Jul 6, 2018, 9:00 AM

#

I don't know enough about Unreal to give you a good answer for that. I've done it in another language before using that basic idea

#

I started a timer that would go when damage was taken with a stop point of current health

#

and every so many steps (frames) have a row of pixels change to black until current health was hit

#

i.e. if you're using a float for your health, 0.01 would be eliminated every x frames

I'm just awnsering a question as it asked. It said nothing about frame by frame nor anything about multiplayer. As this is a UE4 place, knowledge about Unity cannot be assumed. No need to be such a bitch about it...

Unreal 101 question - I'm messing with the rolling ball example, and it seems that the engine will default viewport ownership to the "PhysicsBallBP" Pawn Actor, via its camera component. I stripped away all the gamemode overrides, and it still does this. Am I missing something, is this normal?

grim ore Jul 6, 2018, 2:19 PM

#

the game mode determines the default pawn spawned in a level using the player starts

#

if there is no player start, or if you have something else in the level that is set to auto possess (your problem), then that will take precedence

#

check the ball that is in the level by default in that template and see if it is set to auto possess to player 0

#

I haven't touched that template in a few months but this is the way most of the other ones are set up so it would make sense it is the same way

delicate needle Jul 6, 2018, 2:24 PM

Auto Possess Player 0

question guys say i have 2 modular pieces and i want to combine them in UE

is there a way to group them and duplicate them?

Or would i have to combine them with the use of a BP?

@warm mountain You can select both in the Outliner, and press CTRL + G to group them or right click > group

warm mountain Jul 6, 2018, 2:53 PM

@hoary charm gotcha and thanks!

i suppose that would also be less expensive than creating a BP for an otherwise static mesh

Hi, I am pretty new to Unreal Engine. I've got a question. Why is alpha so heavy on performance? If I check the view under F5 to see the performance, everything I have is green, so it's good, but alphas are always red. Even with the meshes from unreal assets that come with the engine, their alpha is also red. With a lot of meshes having alphas fps goes down dramatically

I have a pawn-character, and I'm activating its ability to "look around" by using right mouse button. I am using "Add Controller Yaw Input" as well as "Add Controller Pitch Input". So far it works, the Yaw is allowing me to look left and right, but for whatever reason I cannon get the Pitch to affect the up and down look.

Is Pitch treated differently, or maybe my whole approach is wrong?

for your ded server .exe, try to go into your project launcher and build it from there to lower ram util. once you're sure its working well, upload the whole thing to your t2 instance.
use exec console command: open x.x.x.x without the steam part to connect to your ded server, change defaultengine.ini lines :

[/Script/Engine.GameEngine]
+NetDriverDefinitions=(DefName="GameNetDriver",DriverClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver",DriverClassNameFallback="OnlineSubsystemUtils.IpNetDriver")

[OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=Steam

[OnlineSubsystemSteam]
bEnabled=true
SteamDevAppId=480

[/Script/OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetDriver]
NetConnectionClassName="OnlineSubsystemSteam.SteamNetConnection"``` to 
```[OnlineSubsystem]
DefaultPlatformService=Null```

only use steam for downloading and storing the game in the steampipe if your game is on steam. as a test bed, you can run a pure `ipnetdriver` dedicated server on t2. try that and if that works, gradually add steam code as necessary when you need to. keep in mind, *what is your goal?* do you really need steam to store your ded ip and search for it in your code? in my code, i just have the t2 ip stored away, and it's always the same. dedicated servers don't change ips unless you change it. so you can just automatically always know the ip that way. is it raw and a little watered down? yes. but it works and you can begin to test your multiplayer functionality. you can get a boost of confidence since you know your multi is working, and you can surely add in the steam functionality later once you know for sure your base dedicated code / all your RPCs if you use them are working properly without lag. sometimes you just need a refresher.

#

and ill be in #multiplayer for more maybe a lil later. trying to do some singleplayer coding rn

does that make sense though?

yeah sebatnik's video talks about that. as you already looked at it. by the way i don't even use steam server lists, your best bet to get that working is decode. he told me he got his working earlier after i helped him with his t2 setup.

you just gotta try to fall back to ipnetdriver. no problem. ill be in #multiplayer later.

The idea is that an over the shoulder camera is desired, but not the perpetual left/right-bound nature normally associated with it.

If the character starts running to their right the camera should move to the right hand side, and vice-versa

I figure for the 3rd person template i'd be wanting to get TurnRate & check if it's currently positive or negative

Gonna have to do some negative multiplication here, it works but when i turn right the camera shoots to the left lol

The short of it was working my ass off to know more and be a better engineer than most of my peers in college, being social and networking with people at industry events, really preparing for technical interviews, and getting lucky along the way.

#

US

plush yew Jul 7, 2018, 7:25 AM

#

so u had the same plan I have in my mind

livid haven Jul 7, 2018, 7:25 AM

#

Really not much to it in concept, but executing on those things is another story.

plush yew Jul 7, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

So i get a good engineering college... get a job so i get to US and then get a game school

#

I am aimming for VIT vellour

livid haven Jul 7, 2018, 7:26 AM

#

Strictly speaking, you don't need a formal education, it's just one of several ways to get the knowledge and experience, as well as a kickstart to networking with peers who may also join the same industry.

I don't have any experience with that, so I don't have anything to suggest.

Unban?

#

Where?

#

@plush yew

#

Oh, from here. What was your account name?

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:26 AM

#

is it possible that my problem isnt caused by Network/Replication but from the standard PostProcessing?

#

because when i tryed to record the "jitter" it was even at 60fps recording not as extreme as in person 🤔

#

never mind im still pretty sure its a network thing

#

i try to make a video maybe someone here can hopefully help me 😃

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

Jitter?

#

Movement Jitter?

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

everything seems to be smooth but if Client A is moving itself the standing person seems to jutter/stutter

unreal spoke Jul 7, 2018, 8:29 AM

#

I want to make a radar widget (I already had a radar as part of the HUD but that looks messy and is not very scalable). Is possible to make a radar widget?

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

@cerulean nova Are you adjusting the MovementSpeed at some point?

#

Like, runtime?

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

yes to server wich seems to work but at the point of jitter there is no change to that

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

You need to adjust Movement everywhere

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:30 AM

#

i try to capture a short video of it

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

It's not replicated

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

i know i made a custom event for it

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:31 AM

#

If you Client doesn't have the same MovemnetSpeed like the Server version, you'll start jittering due to correction

#

@unreal spoke Would ask in #umg

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:33 AM

#

it must be something with the camera / movement

#

it only happens when straving left or right or walking backwards

Here its more visible if u watch at 1080p

the moving person sees the not moving person kiiind of jitter and it feels more weird when playing then watching

messing around just learning Unreal (coming from other engines (not unity)). absolutely fell in love

📎 DhbsWU2WkAEfxwm.png

#

not sure how close that is to how THEY did it back then (probably insanely different) but still hugely technically impressive considering what they worked with at the time

@regal mulch could you see what i mean in the video ? 😃

latent warren Jul 7, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

yeah I do Net. that's a little offputting

how's the latency? kinda looks like lag hiccups

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

its local

latent warren Jul 7, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

oh lol scratch that one

#

hmm have you ran an FPS counter when you are running into that? would be curious if it dips

#

(I won't be able to solve your problem, I'm unreal noob but I like troubleshooting

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:54 AM

#

@cerulean nova Not sure right now

#

Would've thought it affects both of your Characters

#

Can you try not attaching the camera to the mesh?

#

Just to test

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:56 AM

#

it does happen to both clients but only the moving one sees the standing one this weird

#

the camera is attatched to the head for "true first Person"

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:57 AM

#

But Client1 was clearly jittering while Client2 moved fine

#

and yes, can you undo the true first person

#

I want to know if your mesh lags

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:57 AM

#

i unparented it and it still happens

#

📎 likethis.PNG

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 8:58 AM

#

Ah now I see it

#

It happens on both okay

#

hm

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 8:59 AM

#

the weird thing is if i look down the own mesh is jittering wich may cause the other client to look jitter?

#

some movement thingy

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 9:00 AM

#

So the mesh of Client1 also jitters if you look downwards?

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 9:00 AM

#

yes

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 9:00 AM

#

Hm

#

Is this a Fresh Character?

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 9:00 AM

#

but only when walking backwards or strave left or right

#

yes this is a new fresh character

regal mulch Jul 7, 2018, 9:01 AM

#

Alright can you try this: Your CharacterMovementComponent (CMC) should have a boolean called "Orient Rotation To Movement"

#

Is that checked?

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 9:01 AM

#

maybe some "animation" problem because the normal thirdperson does always walk forward and if u press S A or D it would turn in that direction

#

yes its checked

#

that causes the problem right?

latent warren Jul 7, 2018, 9:02 AM

#

(I'd like to say I've been here idling for 24 hours with my mouth (mostly) shut. I've learned a lot just lurking in that time

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 9:02 AM

#

because he tryes to turn but cant because the view is fixing the movement orientation

latent warren Jul 7, 2018, 9:02 AM

back to replicating the sprint to work proper 😄

#

had to rethink the system because i had some checks running with the sprint itself wich would then get also replicated so i have to "rebuild" it abit

cedar snow Jul 7, 2018, 10:56 AM

#

if i want to include non .uasset files in a packaged build, do i have to create an custom asset type for it?

cedar snow Jul 7, 2018, 11:23 AM

#

to answer myself: not really; just put the assets in a directory inside the contents dir and set the directory to be copied while packaging

#

current downside: the assets are literally just copied to the build directory and there for anybody to read/change/delete

What is the best way to create and island lowpoly? With World Machine?

low poly plane with noise

not sure if world machine does low poly

a mesh?

#

not heightmap?

rose bison Jul 7, 2018, 11:33 AM

a heightmap is just a mesh in 2D, when it comes to terrains

#

you can convert them from and to oneanother

slow relic Jul 7, 2018, 12:32 PM

#

hey guys ... I'm coming from a unity bg .... is there an option in Unreal that lets you view the game during runtime like how the 'scene view' does in unity?

rose bison Jul 7, 2018, 12:35 PM

#

Simulate

#

instead of Play

#

https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/UI/LevelEditor/InEditorTesting

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 12:40 PM

#

@slow relic Shortcut would be ALT + S

slow relic Jul 7, 2018, 12:41 PM

#

ah yes ..... one more tiny question .... can I do this in multiple windows? like simulate in one and play in another?

#

simultaneously?

#

I don't seem to have real-time input while playing/ simulatiing in my second view window even with the option selected

manic pawn Jul 7, 2018, 12:43 PM

#

no, that isn't supported

slow relic Jul 7, 2018, 12:47 PM

#

sigh, nvm ...... I'm just curious, are there any work arounds or hacks to make something like this? like a plugin? Would be real cool if something like this was there

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 12:52 PM

#

sure if ur able to write it yourself go ahead download the source and rewrite the engine 😃

#

https://github.com/EpicGames

GitHub

Epic Games

#

u need to register and verify before u can see the UE4 Rep.

#

but why would u need simulation and gameplay at the same time`?

manic pawn Jul 7, 2018, 12:54 PM

#

theoretically it could be made, since it supports multiple views into the same world

#

but you'd need to spend a lot of time reverse engineering the thing to figure out how...

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

i dont see the need to see simulated and gameplay at the same time tho 🤔

manic pawn Jul 7, 2018, 12:57 PM

#

that's not what unity does

#

you play in one window and have a scene view open at the same time that lets you view the world being played

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 12:58 PM

#

for what?

manic pawn Jul 7, 2018, 12:59 PM

#

dunno, never used it

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

xD

slow relic Jul 7, 2018, 1:12 PM

#

@cerulean nova haha I'm far writing something like that. I'm just used to a system like that where I can see if objects are entering the trigger zones in another window while playing it in another window. It just felt a bit weird that's all 😄 ...

spare steeple Jul 7, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

is there a way to get steam audio working in a packaged game other than adding -audiomixer to a shortcut ?

vale osprey Jul 7, 2018, 2:32 PM

#

@slow relic if you play in editor window, not in separate window, you can “eject” and fly around

cursive dirge Jul 7, 2018, 2:43 PM

#

@slow relic you must be ex-unity user

#

after years of UE4, I still missed the separate scene view in UE4

#

also if you don't see the need, you probably haven't tried it

#

it's so handy for some gameplay debugging and editing purposes

#

you can eject in UE4 but you practically have to pause the game usually for that

#

with separate scene view you can just keep tracking some game objects while you keep playing

#

but yeah, there's a reason why UE4 has separate simulate mode and "eject" mode

#

or unpossess, whatever they call it

errant shale Jul 7, 2018, 2:58 PM

#

Not sure where to ask; can the unreal build tool be configured to copy PDBs (on Windows) on Debug builds, like it does for DLL dependencies you add?

cerulean nova Jul 7, 2018, 3:29 PM

#

if i walk with a handgun then switch to a rifle the arm position needs to switch without the legs change the animation is that called "animation blending" or do i have to make conditions and make a custom walk animation for all weapon types ?

#

Epic is trying to move items to plugins to reduce wasted fluff in the main engine. If you never use particles why have a particle engine required for example.

hey uhh, just a small lil q, anyone know any good places to get started learning the engine? preferably a 3rd person, a tutorial or something would be amazing thanks uwu (plz @ if you respond)

Anyone familiar with new PCs? I'm building one and buying RAM for it. Will any recent ram pair well with a recent mobo?

hii i am working on a character i am planning to make a showcase in unreal but i am confused how should rig hair that can simulate specially ponytail with air

high stone Jul 8, 2018, 7:48 AM

#

You probably want a hinge, there should be a script for it. That stuff goes back to the PS2 days.

#

Google "ponytail game hinge unreal" Should be first link.

pine warren Jul 8, 2018, 7:50 AM

#

thnx for the tip ill try

#

and to control cloak with apex i just need to paint it in unreal do i need to rig it along character too?

high stone Jul 8, 2018, 7:51 AM

#

There are all kinds of ways to do cloaks. Cloth simulation is most likely the area you need.

pine warren Jul 8, 2018, 7:53 AM

#

bascially i am planning to make a showcase of characters like i can move camera around character in idle pose only eye blink an little bit of movement but i want to parent the air with camera that in way to look cloak will go in opposite eith air hope u get what i actually trying to do

high stone Jul 8, 2018, 7:56 AM

#

Not familiar with air simulation in Unreal. In a few weeks when I get the new PC, different story. I think the mods are asleep for the night? I recommend 7pm est and earlier.

Any Suggestions/Opinions on Building Objects vs Modular Building parts in a Instance?

silver crown Jul 8, 2018, 8:45 AM

#

@high stone If you go for an AMD CPU be careful with the ram frequency

#

As it will also determine some internal cache clock

hey whats a clever way of leaving notes in the content browser?

#

like if you wanted to leave a small reminder or maybe some brief instructions

#

my best guess is a readme actor with just comments inside of it?

regal mulch Jul 8, 2018, 9:09 AM

#

Why would you need that note in the content browser?

#

Maybe there is some better way of doing what you want

#

You could try to utilize the Tutorial BPs

#

Not sure if they got ever updated and improved

storm venture Jul 8, 2018, 9:10 AM

#

oh yeah i forgot about those

#

i just want to be able to leave some useful info for devs that may be using my work

#

i know documentations exist but i wanted more of a reminder type of thing

#

people forget what they read in docs, but they cant forget something thats right in front of them

#

ill check out tutorial bps, those sound like they may do the trick

@silver crown It's a Intel 8700k. I'm not overclocking the RAM. I just want to make sure I don't run into a mix match like I did in 2013.

#

The motherboard wasn't having the G.Skill 4 slots. It did fine with the Corsair 2 slots.

#

I found out the G.Skill had different timings for 2 of the sticks,

I've been reading more and more about UE4's performance issues with AMD GPUs. Looking at the engine in general, considering the source is available and it's all cross-platform there is obviously no intentional bias going on for a specific vendor, but the issue seems to be prevalent enough with games released in UE4. Has there ever been any reasoning given for these things?

#

Driver issues? Implementation problems?

#

@harsh tiger - you have two domes on top of each other

silver crown Jul 8, 2018, 1:59 PM

#

@faint cedar Maybe simply that the engine was developed with NVidia GPU in the first place

#

And thus optimized against that

harsh tiger Jul 8, 2018, 2:01 PM

#

@faint cedar SkySphere? I only have 1 in the scene if thats what you mean

#

never mind, i had another one something with a weird name haha thanks!

faint cedar Jul 8, 2018, 2:11 PM

#

@silver crown - that is an easy assumption to make but I think it's not correct. At the very least they test fortnite on all sorts of hardware

gentle crypt Jul 8, 2018, 2:44 PM

#

@astral marsh You might want to get a boolean to fix that so when you pick one object it sets the boolean to true and next make branch to check the boolean if its true then make a code to drop one item to pick the other if false then it picks it up anyway.

Hey guys, I've been using the 4.14 UE4 version for a while now, but when I tried launching the editor from Epic Games Launcher today, the 4.14 Engine version is gone, and I'm only left with installing other engine versions, moreover if I try to install the 4.14 version, I can't since it doesent appear in the list. Any idea what went wrong?

gentle crypt Jul 8, 2018, 2:47 PM

#

@fast sigil hmmm 4.14 appears in my end.

#

oh wait you mean you already have it installed. hmmm

fast sigil Jul 8, 2018, 2:48 PM

#

@gentle crypt yes, I have it installed, just played with it yesterday

#

And today when I wanted to launch it it was gone

#

I thought I deleted it by mistake or something, but If I try to install it again I cant

gentle crypt Jul 8, 2018, 2:49 PM

#

go to C:\Program Files\Epic Games

#

and see if its there.

#

if it is there then remove it and try reinstalling it cos something might have moved that makes the launcher not recognise it.

fast sigil Jul 8, 2018, 2:52 PM

#

For visual representation

📎 UE4_pic.png

#

@gentle crypt, found it there

#

guess i'll delete it and hopefully that resolves it

gentle crypt Jul 8, 2018, 2:52 PM

thats wierd you have 2 4.19

you might want to reinstall the launcher too.

Guys is ryzen 5 1600x is enough for unreal engine? (6 cores 12 threads 3.6 GHz)

#

or i should buy a ryzen 7 1700x? (8 cores 12 threads 3.4 GHz)

#

can anyone answer my question?

if you have the budget, go for the 1700x or even the 2600x/2700x

#

also if you can manage, go for 32GB ram and a fast ssd/m2

plush yew Jul 8, 2018, 5:18 PM

32 gb?

16 gb is not enough?

Totally new to UE4, working through tutorials for at least two different means of creating a bouncing ball. No matter which method I use, the ball goes through the floor and deletes from the scene. I have tried enabling substepping from a forum post i found with fimilar symptoms. Any help or direction to find answers would be helpful. v4.19.2 Thank you

how can i get my game mode code to execute on the clients since i cant use RPCs on non actors?

grim ore Jul 8, 2018, 7:56 PM

#

@naive furnace well the second one is the world kill z killing it when it gets too far below. The first one what are you using for a floor and what are you using to cause it to bounce?

naive furnace Jul 8, 2018, 7:58 PM

#

I started with a First Person blueprint. I have added an Actor with a Sphere SM and Projectile Movement. Should bounce is checked and a 3d velocity is given. Collision on the SM is Projectile.

grim ore Jul 8, 2018, 8:00 PM

#

since you are using the first person template have you looked at the projectile that is already there to see how it is set up?

@naive furnace ok so I found out your issue more than likely, you dont have physics enabled on your sphere

Never happened before though

i have tried enabling the physics and disabling them... believe to be same result... hang on

well I just made a new fpp, made a new actor, added a sphere object, added projectile, added the BP to the scene and ran it. The sphere went thru the floor

naive furnace Jul 8, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

ok

grim ore Jul 8, 2018, 8:07 PM

#

I removed the projectile movement, the sphere was static (no physics so this is expected). I checked simulate physics and played and the sphere dropped and hit the floor. I added back the projectile movement and same result

naive furnace Jul 8, 2018, 8:08 PM

#

ok... i do get an error when enabling physics

grim ore Jul 8, 2018, 8:08 PM

Collision needs physics so it makes sense

body set to simulate physics but collision enabled is incompatible

#

and the reason for that is if you look at the projectile preset the Collision Enabled settings is (query only (no physics collision)

#

ok that's great... so now after finishing its bounces and acheives stasis, it disappears... i don't have a destroy actor node. strange.

IF you remove the projectile movement you will find that is the cause

naive furnace Jul 8, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

oh for dumb... so, that would mean it never happens in the tutorial video because the ball never comes to rest

grim ore Jul 8, 2018, 8:19 PM

#

I have to admit I have never actually seen that before (never let them rest as well lol) so.... that's an amusing part of the component that does not seem to be able to be turned off

#

well, i am happy it was just my naivety to the operation of the component and not something I overlooked

#

off to the source code as honestly why is this not a toggle

naive furnace Jul 8, 2018, 8:27 PM

#

where do you find the source code to which you refer? I have an easier time understanding code more often than parametric configurations.

@limpid star I found out Newegg mixed the boxes. I got the combo pack. 1.333 and the new one was 1.666. I had no idea until I checked the sticks in the bios.

The motherboard would give me the black screen of death.

Im still having my Issue

#

@velvet ravine Are you building through visual studio? That usually means it doesn't detect any changes.

#

Try regenerating project files.

velvet ravine Jul 8, 2018, 10:28 PM

#

no via engine,

fallen schooner Jul 8, 2018, 10:28 PM

#

I would try making a minor but obvious change and see if that compiled correctly

velvet ravine Jul 8, 2018, 10:29 PM

#

@velvet ravine you should probably wait for 4.20 R1. my build is working fine with 4.19.2. your issue could be related to the Preview description
