#ue4-general
plush yew
i like it
whenever its anime movie story or game i always prefer the begining where things are simple like your boat
mint raptor
@plush yew also ask in #legacy-physics
plush yew
because usually when you get bigger boat then its get clear that whatever production it is, its creators fuked it up
like season first of that 2016 hackers movie with eliot
was great, but next season were too complex and shity
@static viper
plush yew
@static viper I did it still flies around
plush yew
@mint raptor This is the collision shape of the second boat
bro did you make water alraedy
Nope
mint raptor
Unreal could be applying a large Force to correct for physics position errors. See project settings-physics- depenetration velocity
static viper
but unreal would not apply force to the boat
plush yew
need a eyepatch but dont have
static viper
tho it does try to parent the player
even the heaviest objects can be moved by walking over it
mint raptor
Depenetration would move it
static viper
if that is the case then this is a bug
mint raptor
@plush yew does that second boat behave differently?
plush yew
I set the Depenetration Scale on 0 but it did nothing
Also I used auto convex hull but it also didnt solve it
static viper
if you make the collision of the second boat a box
you should be able to land on it
mint raptor
0 has it use infinite values
static viper
at least
mint raptor
Would want to use something higher than 0 to set an upper limit
Can you gif the autoconvex version?
leaden dust
I want to make a variable which will carry on to next level
plush yew
Yes one moment
leaden dust
How do I do it
plush yew
Also it wasnt depenetration scale but max velocity
static viper
we also have blueprintzs chat
leaden dust
@static viper can you help me with this
static viper
in blueprints
leaden dust
yeah
long lantern
static viper
not here
long lantern
how can i code this up with event graph
leaden dust
in #blueprint then?
static viper
yes.
plush yew
@mint raptor the autoconvex hulls seem to be overlapping too
long lantern
i tried the 1d code it worked but as an 1d animation in result
anyone know blend space code in event graph
mint raptor
@plush yew try going more basic, see if just a single box collision gives you the same issues
if one box works try two,
if not even one box works then the issue might be somewhere else
babysteps
plush yew
@mint raptor used a basic shape now, the player still gets shot away, now I wonder what could be the reason. It's still mp4:
static viper
Yee
that is what i feared
i have that too
its a physics problem in unreals core
walking down from objects moves them ignoring weight
i couldnt fix this so far
plush yew
@mint raptor Well it should just be a movable prop. You could walk on it, move it, break it and so on.
mint raptor
so what I saw there, was you walking on it, and moving it a bit, what is wrong?
static viper
player beeing shot away is also a thing i had
mint raptor
did you try setting depenetration velocity to 1?
plush yew
You mean in the project settings?
mint raptor
yea just out of curiosity.
plush yew
It even was at 0
mint raptor
0 means it can use any value higher than 0 that the engine wants
you have to set a value above 0 to set a hard limit
plush yew
Oh ok, I set it to 1 now
plush yew
Still gets shot away
mint raptor
is CCD enabled on the boat?
plush yew
I think not
mint raptor
turn that on and try again
plush yew
CCD made it even worse
static viper
that really does something
plush yew
Gets thrown away right after the first contact
static viper
CCD just makes it more obvious
mint raptor
also if you don't want the boat to move when player walks on it, why don't you turn simulate physics off when player is near the boat?
or when player is on boat?
static viper
if he does that it would freeze in mids air anyways
plush yew
I want him to be able to attack it and destroy it also
mint raptor
if you want him to destroy it then you would turn it into a destructible mesh
plush yew
Yes I checked destructible meshes out a few days ago but I cant quite remember how to set it up. But would that influence the physics?
As in collision physics
mint raptor
Not sure tbh
it may use all the same physics but allow for it to be destroyed, or maybe they do some tweaks to the physics. You will have to enable Apex Destruction plugin if it isn't on already
then right click on the static mesh and say make/create destructible mesh
static viper
it would make it worse
mint raptor
but the player getting tossed is a physics/collision problem
Try literally just a single box
static viper
destructable meshes shouldnt be used for this at the start
mint raptor
Yea, I was just informing him of how to do it
But try literally just a box
where you walk on the top of the box
You may have to get clever with how you make your boat collision
the entire top part of the boat may need to be totally flat
like the top of a box
and you can add more detail to the bottom part
plush yew
Even the box just shot him away
plush yew
Just a single one
mint raptor
can you gif that?
plush yew
yup
plush yew
hi guys. I have a question regarding to dynamic shadow on mobile, not sure which channel to post, so i guess i just layout here. I asked the question in detail here https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/819327/dynamic-shadows-on-mobile-disappear-on-different-c.html
in short, dynamic shadow in mobile kinda disappear if i move to different angle, an angle that gets closer to the shadow. does this happen to any of you?
static viper
yee can close it
static viper
by shoving other objects above it
leaden dust
if I press play it doesnt take any in[puts
static viper
repping?
bitter iris
anyone know why visual studio is telling my i have insufficient rights to run a command

I might have messed up my Light Source, how can i reset it?
static viper
light source?
sudden flax
Yeah
static viper
what did you do
sudden flax
sudden flax
๐
static viper
do you bake light?
static viper
thats great ๐
for now
click light and screen shot the details panel
so i can scribble on it
sudden flax
Okay
unreal spoke
how to make an object to be only affected by lights in channel 2?
I mean actor or mesh
static viper
just click movable ๐
ah
yee you need to clean build it
under
world settings tab
lightmass
the small arrow
force precompute
then build light
ruby folio
So. Say I wanted to start uploading public videos of the game im working on. Would you do it on your main account, or would you create a separate one for it?
sudden flax
it is
ruby folio
Make a copy of your project before opening it in 4.20.
sudden flax
How do i download my specific version
I put it on a different drive
I had literally 6 mb free on c:
unreal spoke
"MakeLightingChannels" node doesn't seem to work. Is that a known bug?
sudden flax
@ruby folio would the space have anything to do with it not compiling?
sudden flax
?
ruby folio
And running a pc with 6MB on the C drive is horrifying
You downloading it from git or the epic launcher?
ruby folio
Sorry I thought you meant building the engine
sudden flax
No I'm building it in UE4
ruby folio
Is the project on the C drive?
ruby folio
No
sudden flax
Okay and how do I load it? From epic launcher
ruby folio
You can do., Or just click on the project file
sudden flax
Okay
ruby folio
But you should still clean your C drive
Running it with 6MB of space left is gonna cripple your pc
sudden flax
Ik I got 4 gb free now
ruby folio
More
fierce tulip
id suggest about 40% free
sudden flax
All I need to do now is unfuck my directional light up
sudden flax
It's only a 60gb ssd
ruby folio
Then throw it in the bin!
fierce tulip
O_O then especially keep 40% empty, else you'll kill your ssd
ruby folio
Yeah, and its gonna be fucked if you keep using it
static viper
dont keep unreal there
ruby folio
Dont keep anything there
fierce tulip
not even your OS XD
ruby folio
Get atleast a 256Gb for an OS
sudden flax
Aight I moved all my assets over to my hard drive
ruby folio
Try WinDirStat to see whats using all that space.
With a 60GB SSD, the ONLY thing you want on that drive is your OS
sudden flax
Mhm
static viper
external drives wont fire unreal
fierce tulip
he gets the point hehe
static viper
since its registry driven
sudden flax
No lol as I said before it's a seagate barracuda
Running in conjunction with optane cache
How do I downgrade versions...
ruby folio
You can't downgrade a project version. But you can add different engine versions via the launcher
sudden flax
Thats what I mean
How do I downgrade to 4.19.1 entirely
Because that what my project is
I don't wanna install 4.20
ruby folio
From the launcher
fierce tulip
did you open the project in 4.20?
ruby folio
Once you have opened a project in 4.20 you wont be able to open it with 4.19 as far as im aware
fierce tulip
^
static viper
thats right
sudden flax
No, in saying my project is 19 my launcher is 20
plush yew
you will have both projects 4.19 version and 4.20
static viper
if you wish
static viper
you can also just download 4.19
sudden flax
What happens if I open my 4.19 in 4.20 UE4E
sudden flax
And it won't break anything?
sudden flax
. . .
static viper
but thats to be expected
bitter iris
Guys how do I remove a plugin from the required plugin list, i cant access my project

desert bronze
So im not sure which chat to ask about this so im just going to write this here. 3 weeks ago i was working on learning blueprints pretty hard by doing udemy courses for about a month. I was really just trying to get a grasp on blueprints so i could make something with them. Anyways I took a break from the courses cause i got distracted by playing games and working. I have been meaning to get back into the courses but to be honest, I really just want to learn how to code instead. I took suggestions long before and they told me to learn blueprints first and then learn how to code; but in my personal opinion the blueprint system is kind of weird. I think my main issue is that things can start to look messy when you have all sorts of nodes and its not always easy to read. Im not sure if I should just tough it out and really try to learn blueprints or do what I feel like I would like, coding. (I am familiar with c++ too, im on my second year of college now and I find coding really fun to do)
plush yew
i agree it can get pretty messy
static viper
learning blueprints first will help you massivly learning c++ or c#
because you learn coding wihout syntax
then later you add syntax
its a massive plus and will get you places fast
plush yew
i dont think bp are that hard
static viper
learn blueprints
ruby folio
@desert bronze My advice is to continue with blueprints. Understand inheritance and whatnot. Learn to make things yourself. Without using tutorials
Following tutorials teaches you how to follow tutorials. Little else.
ruby folio
Better late than never
plush yew
i think i can catch others if i spend more time each day than they do
there should be feature to "sort your blueprint nodes" haha
would be nicee
static viper
there are a few actually
plush yew
my problem is i cant stop proscratinate
what? where? @static viper
every5 min i start proscratinating again lol
its just too hard to nonstop do something for longer
static viper
waits patiently 5 minutes
trim night
Whats the better way to extend a wall, scaling or another wall object?
plush yew
scaling
static viper
another wall object
trim night
lol
plush yew
why use two things when can use one
cloud cobalt
Scaling will look like shit
static viper
if you scale collision it will start to break physics soon
desert bronze
yeah my issue is just coming up with what node to use
trim night
I know what you mean, but if I scale my object the texture will get fucked up.
Is it possible to fix it?
static viper
watch tutorials dusty
mathew wadstein
watch em all
i cant make that more obvious
its the best free education you can get ๐
trim night
Okay ๐
plush yew
u can set texture
to not stretch
but i dont know how
also have this problem lol
it must be deep in the engine
cloud cobalt
lmao
desert bronze
like i understand when you would use a branch because thats an obvious true or false question but when it comes to other things like idk...one of those weird nodes that are only ever used for very specific situations
cloud cobalt
If you don't want to scale a texture with object scaling, the texture needs to be somewhat independant from UVs
If you want non-uniform scaling, it becomes quite hairy to do - basically use world aligned texture
It's still going to be subpar compared to correct assets that aren't scaled (or scaled uniformly)
So to extend a wall - add another section
desert bronze
alright ill watch mathew wadstein and see where i get
now i just need to stop wasting my time playing games >.>
XD
bitter iris
anyone know why im getting this, its a fresh project
cloud cobalt
Is the .uproject writeable ?
timid flame
Is it a bug that you can't reroute map variables?
E.g map of vectors to names is not compatible with wildcard error
Nvm I forgot you can reroute a line after piping the map into something. Didn't expect that it couldn't be directly rerouted xD
@plush yew @trim night worldspace projection i.e planar or triplanar
Although if you have static meshes that you need to move the world space mapping is locked, so that the texture will "pan"
plush yew
anyone else has cold feels that he will probably never finish his game?
timid flame
There's a couple ways to get around that though, for example use pre-skinned local position node
Or subtract object pos from your world pos
cloud cobalt
@plush yew If that's how you feel, you might want to reduce the scope
I usually advise people to do a single-player game with small unique levels
Every time I read here about open-world battle-royale competitive games with online inventories and dedicated servers, I die a little
timid flame
lol
plush yew
online inventory
wut lol xd
yea thats kind of open world battle royale strategy game
with your own units
not just with one character
like you have a castle and create units
pallid compass
Normally any online game is massively out of scope for anyone who is just starting, or even experienced people
cloud cobalt
I'm exxagerating on purpose here but "multiplayer" is already a massive scope
pallid compass
I know i would rather chop my own legs off than do one.
timid flame
I don't know about that I kind of like my legs
cloud cobalt
Multiplayer is basically 5x the work
pallid compass
I dont think visual's are the hard part
worn granite
just cause I can do MP doesn't mean I wanna solo it
cloud cobalt
Anything that was easy as fuck in singleplayer is now a week of work
But when you say this here, people starting up will say - but singleplayer is boring
pallid compass
lmao omg yes ^
Or they will just keep saying they can do it, or its in there scope or they have some money etc
when they have 0 idea wtf they are saying
cloud cobalt
So @plush yew - scope it down
pallid compass
that use to be me lmao
pallid compass
Imo u shouldnt even be trying to make a game, you should be practicing, making mini system's, remaking them, doing ton's of tuts, going back redoing ur old shit etc
You know things that will help increase your skills to the point where you can make a small game
then you can start making small projects to push your skills even more
unborn night
quick question anyone else having a lot of issues with epic not sending the 2fa codes to email? I logged into one machine(just teh website) last week and it took about 2 hours last night i tried started the unreal engine and it prompted me for the code and as of 14 hours later still not received anything from epic
the other machine which i told it to remember is also asking for the code again so i cant even access the account setting to see if i could change anything
pallid compass
Why do you not spend time training skills, because your first game is always gonna be really really bad
plush yew
making game == training
plush yew
what not for me
pallid compass
You need base skills first
making game == training if you have base skills to work with
worn granite
rei and karol sitting in a tree.

You need to build a foundation of basic skills first
You cant practice properly if your foundation is bad

Its probably on a HDD and compiling shaders or something daft
plush yew
guys anyone know what happened to sample of MOBA/rts/minions ?
bitter iris
its on a 1tb ssd
plush yew
it was one of default samples when u create new project in UE
inland seal
Thinking about updating the project soon (still on the latest 4.16), is 4.2 decent enough to do so, or should i go for the latest 4.19?
worn granite
I'd actually go 4.19 for awhile, I wouldn't go directly to 4.20
vale halo
^ Agreed with that, I'd personally try updating/upgrading it a little more gradually (to manage things that'd break/etc.), and potentially waiting for the last bugfix to come out before going to 4.20 if you want the most stability
But I guess another point is: Is there a new feature/improvement that is important for your game? Don't get me wrong - don't use this as an excuse to never update, but you may not always need the latest and greatest (on large projects)....just my (probably horrible) 2 cents though
inland seal
fair enough. I think 4.19 has all the improves i want anyway
Ex. the volumetric fog fixes
stoic dew
I have a blueprint that I created, when I highlight it in details it says its parent class is a StaticMeshActor. How do I go about spawning this at runtime via c++. When I google this I am finding a lot of different results

paper glade
Hey all! I just installed UE4.20, excited to get working with it. I started with a blank project/no starter assets, but now need that Starter Content. When I go into Add New-> Starter Content, though, all it does is add a pillar object, nothing else. Is this a current bug with UE4.20? Do i need to manually migrate the starter content from a new project into this project?
I've already created a github repo so I'd rather not just start over
and would be useful for cloning elsewhere in the future
plush yew
@grim sinew ya there? i tested out the 10k idea ๐
about 100 fps or so, all i had to do was just not rotate each one locally. rotate globally works fine.
10k objects in max (+1 including main planet)
@paper glade you have to go to content browser -> green add new button -> feature or content pack -> content packs -> starter content
paper glade
@plush yew yep, did exactly that, just added a pillar
I made a new project and migrated the starter content folder over to my main project, and that seems to have worked
wondering if there's a bug with adding content packs though!

true summit
where would you recommend a beginner to start learning unreal? or what tolearn first about unreal?
plush yew
@true summit epic just launched a new platform at https://academy.unrealengine.com and can also check out the unreal engine youtube channel
its too enterprisey
YT channel is there too.
true summit
@plush yew yes, but which part of that
im not looking for a website or channel, im trying to find out what i should learn
plush yew
going thru the unreal docs is more technical and less visual
so you're better off looking at a visual tutorial or guide to start with.
and those are in the places i mentioned.
as well as several other third party tutorials on youtube, and tutorial places like pluralsight.
true summit
yes, but what should i learn?
should i start with bp? or level design? or should i learn more 3d modelling before starting with unreal to start with?
plush yew
depends on your endgoal
true summit
indie dev
plush yew
if you look at the youtube channel i linked, look at the left there.
doesn't that seem like a good place? "introduction to the editor"
understand the UI first
true summit
i kinda know that tho
plush yew
yep. it's up to you what to choose i started with blueprints and object placement, and did some tests with movement. then i eeventually made an entire multiplayer game.
trying to give you as unbiased advice as i can, dont want to be too specific on anything.
true summit
well, i followed matt palajes lets create series, so i know that kind of stuff just from seeing him
and i understand some bp
but yeah
plush yew
cool. just keep at it. you'll be ok if you maintain yourself and stay focused.
true summit
ok thanks
plush yew
yeah

stoic dew
Ok so I created custom class that inherits from AActor, its just pretty much an empty class that is only taking the generated body rn. So from there I created a blueprint out of a mesh in the scene and added projectile movement component with a velocity of x 1000 y 0 and z 0. When I press the fire key it works fine until I rotate the ship that is firing the projectile. then the oritentation of the projectile differs based on the rotation and at 180 degrees it goes completely backwards.
loud oasis
i kinda dont care :/
stoic dew
What causes this and how would I go about fixing it? I have a feeling it is because things are differing between local and world space.
stoic dew
nevermind fixed it

is there a specific room for mentioning resources other people may not know about
nah its not mine, just a site i found thats actually very helpful. They have free characters and 3d models of just about anything you can think of. If youre willing too pay alittle, theres 1000s upon 1000s of models
good thing is, most of the characters are already rigged and animated also
maybe game design? or we can ask pfist too make one?
@maiden swift is that a room you could create? a room for people too drop resources and sites they know about in too help other people out?
weary basalt
Discord is not designed to be a repository
hidden berry
oh no not resources like downloads
like websites and cool kit linbks etcetc
links*
weary basalt
That is also an resource. And my statement still stands, we use Pinned messages to hold useful links etc etc but having a channel specifically for that would not be ideal at all.
plush yew
When I'm using a custom game mode BP, will my selected Player State be loaded before the Player Controller or vice versa?
(I am hoping vice versa)
weary basalt
@hidden berry You would eventually lose useful information to the chat history.
A Wiki is better designed to handle that.

late minnow
hey guys, i need some direction. I want to deploy a mobile app with interactable 3D models.
Is there some sort of online sync-able database where i could upload a new model when i wanted one added to the app, instead of worrying about deploying an update for example?
im new to game development but ive worked with building basic mobile apps using native android for about 4-5 months
smoky stream
you would probably have to setup a custom web server for that sort of stuff
im not exactly sure how to correctly send 3d models either
so flask or node.js probably wouldnt cut it
late minnow
like imagine something like fortnite. they release new skins without game updates
late minnow
yeah, unless they're deployed with the updates and just hidden until they decide to put them in the shop rotation somehow
smoky stream
that seems way more likley
sending 3d models and updating like that would just be so much unnecassery hassle for them
hidden berry
i believe with fortnite, they include it in the big updates and just hide them in rotation
@smoky stream
Although, they pretty much do small daily updates
storm venture
hey so is there not a way to let apex clothing interact with the environment?
i want to achieve something like this:
grim sinew
I think it's for collision on the skeletal mesh it's bound to only, in the version Unreal has specifically
For something like that, I assume things are going to be passing underneath it? If you can predict when it'll happen, instead of using cloth you may be better with a precomputed skeletal animation that runs
plush yew
I've got another odd latent action issue
yay
I can't seem to get my latent action to tick when called from an actor.
The BP will run all the way up to the latent action node, then, nothing happens
nvm
I just derped
hidden berry
when importing weapon fbxs into unreal, do i let the engine make a skeleton? or do i import it without one?
grim sinew
The engine can't make a skeleton, you need to do that.
The engine can't do anything in the way of generating rigs for you.
hidden berry
ahh gotcha, how do i go about putting together weapons that come in seperate pieces? i downloaded a glock17 and its seperated into each individual piece
grim sinew
You tick on "combine meshes" when importing it. It's one of the options in the dropdowns
plush yew
Hello
hidden berry
gotcha, thank you!
bitter iris
Does anyone know where to turn off P2P network (if its on that is) im just getting an error which suggests thats the problem
grim sinew
Unreal doesn't support P2P? Not sure what you mean
bitter iris
i just searched an error i was getting when running a dedicated server
then an answer was turn off p2p
[2018.08.19-06.05.39:288][ 1]LogOnline: Warning: OSS: Async task 'FOnlineAsyncTaskSteamCreateServer bWasSuccessful: 0' failed in 17.291633 seconds
grim sinew
Not familiar with that error specifically, but if the solution is P2P (aka bittorrent) it could just be a generic error for two servers trying to use the same port
plush yew
mayby you have closed port
bitter iris
theyre forwarded on my router and on firewall unless ive typed the wrong ports

oh i just realised i have closed ports and cant open them no matter what I do (but i opened ports on my friends pc fewtimes) - does that mean wont be able to host my game server??? :((((
damn
bitter iris
why cant you open them
grim sinew
Maybe he doesn't have admin access to the router
plush yew
no idea it was always like that with this ISP
before i had router and couldnt, now i dont have router (just modem) and also cant lmao
i dont even have login panel now
thats on 192.168.1.1
plush yew
hmm then i need a lot of money for dedicated server, thats dissapointing
static viper
then you should start with smaller things
why not start with a coop game over steam
thats the most i can handle...
plush yew
yeah i should makemoney first then come back to game dev
its sad i have 120mb download and cant use it

maybe i will call them
but i need to know which ports ill use lol

Never start with dedi if its a small game and ur 1st

nah. Always start with an MMO so you can understand just how hard game dev is and when you swap to a realistic goal you will find it easier ๐

hi
abstract marsh
This stylized grass looks good, until I add a shader into the scene!
What should I do?
plush yew
dont add shader
abstract marsh
What should I do if I want to keep the shader's application onto certain objects such as the main character?
Or is there a way to specifically exclude the grass?
Or do I have to apply the shader to literally every object and then not apply it to grass?
grim sinew
If the shader modifies anything global, then it's on everything
abstract marsh
How can I check that?
grim sinew
You tell me how you added the shader
abstract marsh
I used a PPV.
grim sinew
Then it's everything
abstract marsh
and applied it to the general area.
I think this has a functionality where it can be applied to specific objects.
grim sinew
Post process = fullscreen everything whether you like it or not
abstract marsh
I think we have the ability to put it only on certain objects.
grim sinew
If you think you can then do it
abstract marsh
I'll have to see how this was done

Is the crystal rendering in the wrong order of the water?
That's my guess, but...honestly no idea either what you're showing
fierce tulip
hehe cant tell if thats my crappy crystal, or from that even crappier crystal pack, or self made
past radish
The sea is in front of transparent objects
grim sinew
Okay there we go, perfect. So they're both transparent?
fierce tulip
there is no reason why that crystal should be transparent
grim sinew
Well first, the problem stems from transparency layers in realtime rendering not being the greatest. It goes out of order sometimes and doesn't look per pixel, but rather the transform.
So the fix is, as Luos said, to make the crystals opaque since it's not using anything translucent there anyway.
past radish
Thank you very much . My friend ๐

Hi UE4Devs! Just a normal question, whenever we drag and drop and media files (models, images , animations, sound) etc, UE4 convert it into .uasset file and keep it. Does it make a copy of source file and keep it ? What if I delete the source file ? If i want to keep the assets in my project, shouldn't I keep my fbx and textures ,etc in the content file ?
grim sinew
Content folder should only be uassets. Keep them externally so you don't get stuff confused.
Unreal does not keep the source asset intact anywhere. There is no guarantee that when re-exporting it'll be untouched.
fierce tulip
^
always have an external drive/folder/location with the original content, preferably well sorted

Hi I have a destructible mesh and it has:
Debris Timeout - True
Enable Debris - True
Debris Depth - 1
Simulate Physics - True
Start Awake - False
Now the problem is, the mesh disappears with Debris Timeout even though it should still be on Depth 0, so no Debris at all.
As seen in this video:
Those are the settings:
Putting Debris Timeout on False does not make it disappear so this is the reason.
Also tried putting Debris Depth on something higher than 1, did not solve it.
I increased the mass scale this seems to have solved it.
I was wrong it didnt
Tried the same with a cube, it seems this was somehow caused by the mesh.
I put the origin to its center since it had a big offset and now it works!

@grim sinew Can we change these layers of transparency?

You can change how it sorts, but you cannot make it sort perfectly 100% of the time..

Ok someone please help me before I lose my mind... I managed to turn off the attenuation volumes for some of my ambient sound objects. Not all of them, just certain ones. I can't see the volumes and I cannot figure out how to turn them back on to save my life.
Does anyone know of a setting to turn volumes off (so it's only the billboard icon for the object) so that I can turn the damned things back on?
Nevermind, I restarted the editor for the 15th time and they magically came back.

Hello anybody who uses UE4 and is ready to help psl talk to me

oh okay, im in the begining of video series but i will be calling ISP tommorow so he will open my ports. I dont have router panel and even when I had it in the past and opened it my ISP blocked them anyway
no idea why
regal mulch
@plush yew By default it's 7777. If you don't actively change it or host more than one Server at a time, then that is fine
frank plume
But can anybody help me
regal mulch
@frank plume Then post your question in the appropriate channel.
plush yew
okay thanks ill tell them to open 7777 @regal mulch

@frank plume check #more-resources
Pick the one that fits the topic of your question
And also post the question directly, don't just ask for help. No one will react to that as we don't even know what you want
hidden berry
@plush yew just beware, some companies make it against their policy for you too host your own server on their ISP. I know mine doesnt let me, because i wanted too host my own for a website.
hidden berry
yeah, i wanted too let him know too try everything before he calls, cause mostly all the major companies dont allow it, and if you let them know youll be attempting it, theyll monitor you and cut your service if you do
plush yew
@hidden berry wow
hidden berry
something that you could do alternatively though, is rent an amazon server, not sure how much they cost, but i guess the cost depends on how badly you want the game too be multiplayer
plush yew
well if they ask why then im gonna say i wanna play p2p game with friend
thats hosting yes but only for one player
two in total

yeah theyre still gonna say no , theyre assholes about it, at least mine were
