You can do it, but you have to work to do. It won't be like you expect it to be

Just as a forewarning

kindred viper Apr 7, 2019, 1:10 AM

#

ill give you an example. I wanted to use a Counterstrike map as a testing ground for a game I was working on. So I ripped the map. But it was all seperately laid out. So I cheated and merged them all into one mesh. Then I baked the entire scene into a texture so I could wrap the level mesh. So everything all worked. But the missing elements that were dynamically created and my texture was only 8k when it needed to be around 16k. But it was good enough for test purposes. That was just messing around tho. If I wanted to do it seriously, it would take a lot longer... a lot.

ripping assets isnt a problem as long as you aint distributing or selling them. But you can't use them in anything that makes money and need to rep them in the credits

cerulean sorrel Apr 7, 2019, 1:39 AM

#

You need to explain clearly several things are very alike

#

There is the viewpoint

#

Then there is the carmara object itself

#

This gets really confusing

low zenith Apr 7, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

sometimes I don't know how to explain this since it's new to me
Next time I will say viewpoint

cerulean sorrel Apr 7, 2019, 1:40 AM

#

Yes that's what the view is called in blender

low zenith Apr 7, 2019, 1:41 AM

#

like you try to fix a car and you explain something to me but you don't know what it was called

any ideas on blender fbx export giving this error?

📎 unknown.png

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:20 AM

#

What does TryGetPawnOwner do in animations?

#

pawn = an actor that can be controlled by AI or the Player
trygetpawnowner = tries to find the controller of the pawn? (so either an AI or a player)

#

atm its sequencer -> cast to thirdpersoncharacter (whose object is "trygetpawnowner")

#

i guess i dont understand what an "object" is in this case either

low zenith Apr 7, 2019, 4:24 AM

#

@cerulean sorrel one time I get called port begger when I told people in PlayStations that I liked PC

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

Ay mathewW 😄

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:29 AM

#

@wintry forge when the animation is fired the TryGetPawnOwner nodes tries to get the pawn the animation is playing on currently, so if in game the character normally who called this animation to play/run, and returns back the resulting pawn or nothing. The key for this one which the default animations mention is the animations might be playing in the editor when previewing them but not actually on a pawn so you use this node to prevent errors from popping up while previewing. This is why it's normally the first node in the anim graph after it fires off. and yes if you plan on using it to get values from your character while the game is playing, direction/speed/whatever, you need to cast to that character after getting who is running the animation with the TryGetPawnOwner

#

I guess a more robust way of naming the node might have been "Try and get the pawn that owns this animation that is currently running"

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:32 AM

#

so its checking which of the "thirdpersoncharacters" it should be working on? or its naming it for future use?

#

if the pawn is already running the animation then wouldent it already know which pawn it is?

worn spade Apr 7, 2019, 4:34 AM

#

judydmv man I'm at a wall now

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

sorry my guy, i tried googling your problem but couldent find anything 😄

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:35 AM

#

this animation blueprint could be running on a billion characters, yes all uniquely, but this blueprint doesn't really know who called it just that it was called. the anim graph. internally yes it knows which is what the try get pawn owner node does by trying to be safe and not crashing if this node is running without a pawn (the preview)

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

thanks mathew 😃

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:36 AM

#

the try get pawn owner is special because it won't return back a valid pawn if you are not actually in the game, if you hook up the Get Owning Actor for example it will run the entire anim bp in the preview

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

is there a purpose to having one that works in the preview and one that doesnt? sounds like there should only be one (unless the preview is super laggy I guess?)

zenith flower Apr 7, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

So it appears, there is a REASON unreal caps at 120fps

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:37 AM

#

some stuff might fail since the preview is not actually in the world so yeah there is a valid reason for using the try get pawn owner node

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

i see, thanks

zenith flower Apr 7, 2019, 4:38 AM

#

It causes all kinds of weird issues with blueprints (maybe c++ too, who knows)

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:40 AM

#

so my animBP is considered a parent of ThirdPersonCharacter? (which is why cast to thirdpersoncharacter works?) im guessing its the case that animation BP automatically become parents to whatever they are animating on

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:41 AM

#

nope your animbp is not considered a parent of the third person character

#

the pawn the animbp is on is considered its owner, it spawns it in and uses it. in this case it could be your Third Person Character

#

parent and owner are not the same thing so that is important

#

the pawn, or character in this case, uses the animbp to determine how it should animate. when it starts up it creates a copy of the animbp for itself and becomes the owner for that copy.

worn spade Apr 7, 2019, 4:44 AM

#

Confusing

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

so this pawn creates a copy of animBP, and the animBP uses its owner's parent designation to cast to thirdpersoncharacter specifically

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:45 AM

#

doesnt use the parent status

#

parent shouldnt be mentioned in here anywhere from what I can see

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

casting is only from parent to child right?

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:46 AM

#

nope casting is telling something exactly what it is, or well how you want to talk to it technically

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

thought i understood casting and now im not sure haha 😄

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:47 AM

#

in theory you could have a character that you have called MyAwesomeDude and cast it to a pawn but that would be weird most of the time

#

You have an object, its the top of the food chain, or the first "parent"

#

below that you can have the pawn, then below the pawn the character, then below the character your specific character (third person character)

#

in this specific chain if you want to talk to the "SPECIFIC" stuff that is part of your ThirdPersonCharacter you would take this object and cast it to the ThirdPersonCharacter

#

this would let you access anything the parent chain has access to and the specific stuff in the ThirdPersonCharacter

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

could firstpersoncharacter cast to thirdpersoncharacter in this case?

#

they are siblings but not parent-child

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:49 AM

#

now if you took that same object and cast it to say pawn you would still be talking to the same object in the world but it would have no idea about anything that is specific to the Character or ThirdPersonCharacter

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

right

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

you can technically cast anything to anything but it will just fail if it's not valid

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

it sounds like its still exclusively parent-child then

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

a FirstPersonCharacter does not have a ThirdPersonCharacter anywhere in it's chain so it cannot be cast

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

or like parent-(any offspring)

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:50 AM

#

they can both be cast to characters tho

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:51 AM

#

so in my chain i mentioned, what is the chain of command?

animBP event graph: on animation update, casts to thirdpersoncharacter

#

animBP is on pawn, so pawn is casting to thirdpersoncharacter?

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:52 AM

#

in your animbp case that node is saying "hey who owns me? I want the pawn that owns me and i will tell you who that is"

#

the animbp is not really on the pawn, it just owns it when the pawn is created it creates the animbp so it can use it.

#

if it helps to think it's on it that is fine but its not "on" it

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:54 AM

#

its more like its reading the rules for it

#

and it can take different rules later if it changes animations ect

#

but im talking about the casting portion specifically- so the pawn is reading "cast to thirdpersoncharacter" from animBP and does so itself?

#

basically pawn is casting to thirdpersoncharacter because its reading from animBP?

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:55 AM

#

I think you keep missing a step

#

or jumping to a conclusion

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 4:55 AM

#

yea, not sure what it is

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 4:55 AM

#

the animbp is created and it has an event that updates the animation on the item it is created for

#

now this event could be empty, it could do nothing if you wanted and you could just use the anim graph itself with the state machine

#

the event graph part of this animbp is to process information or handle information normally, one of the events if the update animation event which fires whenever the animation is updating (so normally a tick, you can think of it as an animation event tick)

#

now the animbp knows who owns it, that was part of the info that was passed to it when it was created

#

during the tick you want to pass in information such as the speed you are running and maybe if you are jumping

#

this one animBP can be anywhere on any pawn. it doesnt care if its on a character or a pawn, or if its a third person character or an enemy AI, it just needs a pawn to play animations on

#

so during the animation tick the blueprint is saying "hey who owns me? I want that pawn" and the node gives it to you.

#

the next part, the casting, is getting the specific pawn that owns this graph so we can get the specific info from it

#

if you check out the default third person project you will find it doesnt even cast, it gets the falling and velocity from the pawn itself since it can get the movement component from the pawn and get that info

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:00 AM

#

where does the blueprint say "who owns me?"

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:00 AM

#

the TryGetPawnOwner returns the Pawn that owns it

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:00 AM

#

then what is the next part that is getting the specific pawn

#

casting?

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:01 AM

#

that is the part that is going "hey anim graph, who owns you? get me the pawn that owns you"

#

after that you do what you want with the specific pawn that owns that anim graph in that event graph at that time

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:01 AM

#

ok yea i think i get it, but i have the same flowchart in my head as earlier that you said was missing a step

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

maybe its just misunderstandings on my part

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

trygetpawn owner creates a pawn, which casts to thirdpersoncharacter

#

er

#

not creates*

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

it might create in your graph sure but it doesnt have to

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:02 AM

#

it selects the pawn that this specific instance of animBP is running on

#

right?

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

i am guessing its casting in your graph because something on the third person character has the exact data it needs that the pawn class does not have

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

then it casts to thirdpersoncharacter to get specific data from thirdpersoncharacter

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:03 AM

#

yes the trygetpawnowner returns the exact pawn that this anim bp is running on

#

yep

#

i dont know what the graph is doing on your side so it might be doing that just because as well lol

#

like maybe it only wants to run this specific stuff if the animbp is on a player and not on an enemy

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:04 AM

#

its short so far, im gonna grab "aimrotation" to bend the spine of a skeleton in order to make the gun follow my camera

#

but right now i wanted to figure out what trygetpawnowner was, but the answer i got was confusing me as to how this script was casting to thirdpersoncharacter

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:04 AM

#

ah yeah then you would have to if that aimrotation is a variable on your specific character class you created/changed

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

so in the "object" portion of "cast to" its asking for what is the parent, is my final conclusion?

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

gotcha, you might be used to using like get character or get player character or something normally when getting the character

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:05 AM

#

yea, exactly. still not understanding those either kek

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

well the object is the object, objects are the basis for pretty much anything you work with in unreal

#

its the parent parent parent parent class lol

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:06 AM

#

pawn is above character, and then below character is a specific kind of character. playercharacter is the pawn/character being controlled by the player controller?

#

but the object its specifically asking for in "cast to" is the parent right?

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:07 AM

#

well the object its asking for is whatever you want to talk to and cast to third person character, in this case it's the owner of the animbp specifically

#

i mean you can put in a player controller or a save game object if you want but they would fail

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:08 AM

#

the only thing(s) that wouldent fail is one of the parents though, is what im asking

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:08 AM

#

well the only thing that wouldnt fail would be a third person character or any of its parents yes

#

assuming it is a third person character in the end

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:09 AM

#

ok cool. thanks 😃 i get now how i misinterpreted some of your info before and made this chain of questions haha

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:09 AM

#

a parent of a third person character is a character for example but you cant plug in a first person character and have it work

#

and you cant plug in a character that is a first person character because again it would fail to become a third person character in the end

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

i was looking for a direct answer and your answer mentioning that theres other possibilities but that they would not work/be applicable confused me. I should have realized you meant that its not close ended and thats where a lot of issues can arise

#

i appreciate the help man 😃 ill proly be back as I progress through these tutorials

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 5:10 AM

#

yeah its just a communication thing, there is a ton of intricacy for this stuff

#

and its hard to wrap your head around if you just go "damnit I want that one to do that thing" and it seems like it should work lol

so is there a change in the way the Target files are done?

public UnrealGhostsTarget(TargetInfo Target) : base(Target)

that basically tells the game to add my game to the build

there is a few versions back but I am pretty sure that method still works ExtraModuleNames.AddRange( new string[] { "CPP_Examples" } );

I have an issue with UE4.22, that made my ortho camera act odd.

#

I have an ortho camera set at 16:9 / 1.78 aspect ration (width: HDTV 1080), aspect ratio locked, but when playing it in a standalone window or on the Switch hardware small black bars appear either side of the screen (as if the camera locked at 16:9 can't fully fill a 16:9 screen).
This happened only in 4.22 (didn't happen in 4.21 or before).
Any insights into what changed in 4.22 that would cause this? (Or better yet, how I can fix it?)

PawnSensing (but its the old way)

one way I was thinking is using each actors transforms and save them in an array for each team. Then I can have an event that checks those arrays for actors near by if the actor is near by do a raytrace?

well at least perception is C++ couse faster, but i dont know of any game that actually uses it

#

not even epic games uses it i think

#

the mayority of games create something similar, but tailored to their needs

worn granite Apr 7, 2019, 7:45 PM

#

Perception is awkward to use in BP, so you'll want to dip into C++

#

Like I said though its definitely possible to write your own

versed spear Apr 7, 2019, 7:48 PM

#

The problem I am having is I have 100 actors using AIPerception so they are all hammering though it trying to find a valid target. With arrays and comparing location of all enemies then ray tracing to make sure they are not behind a wall might be less load on the game.

worn granite Apr 7, 2019, 7:49 PM

That's already what perception is doing

#

I guess you could batch them all together

Check if the group is visible at all, then the individuals

We are trying to rotate the model's spine to have the hands follow the camera.
Is 0° straight down, and 180° straight up?
When Currentangle * -1 results in a negative degree under 180, wont the angle be behind the player?

versed spear Apr 7, 2019, 9:20 PM

#

could you use look at rotation maybe to get the rotation you need.

wintry forge Apr 7, 2019, 9:21 PM

#

Also another issue:
When the snap for transform is 1 or no-snap, the red transform arrow becomes bi-directional. It wont just move in the red axis. A strange issue. I found out its because im trying to change the camera position while the model is animating "idle" and its head lightly bobs up and down. Idk how to pause the animation but this is a weird glitch.

#

@versed spear maybe, im following a tutorial but he doesnt explain the calculations

#

we have "get control rotation" -> break rotator -> the calculations -> select float -> divide float by 3 (because we have 3 spines) -> make rotator -> thats the output

#

it works, but im wondering what those calculations mean

#

we dont use "look at rotation" probably because of the 3 spines (though idk what look at rotation is, im just guessing)

versed spear Apr 7, 2019, 9:34 PM

#

@wintry forge so its working you just want to know how it is working? Control rotation is based off its rotation in the world. Maybe 0 is north in the world and 180 and -180 is south.

@versed spear well its strange because the values seem like they are pretty varied. [360 - (180 to 360)] would result in a value [0-180], and [currentrotation*-1] would be [0-(-180)]

versed spear Apr 7, 2019, 9:43 PM

That math seems to keep it in the range of 180 to 0 and 0 to -180 no matter what Y is.

Like if I right click and type lerp it used to be a standard Linear Interpolation node. In later versions it's random lerp functions. Not a big deal on my desktop 'cause I have a mouse so I can just hold L and left-click my mouse. Can't do that on my laptop though

grim ore Apr 7, 2019, 11:50 PM

#

probably not but you can favourite the ones you like if it works like the normal event graph, yes it does sorta as there does not seem to be a favourites panel but they go under a favorites category when you right click

Listen For Input Action. Make an input called something like UMG_Escape. Tie that to Escape. In ListenForInputAction listen for UMG_Escape

#

Otherwise, handle your escape input in a function in PC and have it decide where to send it. Unreal's blueprint input is kinda wonky, you can't just send the input out and bubble it up, choosing to capture or not

@plush yew It will be long and difficult but all the resources exist to get you moving. I recommend trying to beginner tutorials and once you start developing specific questions come on in and ask around

Would you recommend learning the within Unreal or move down to Unity?

hoary pier Apr 8, 2019, 2:06 AM

@plush yew Honestly either direction is fine. If you aren't big into coding maybe Unreal would be easier to start but I am really not sure anymore. I wouldn't think of Unity as a move down either, just different strokes

#

Unreal can take you a long way now with a visual node based scripting language but Unity will require learning how to script in C-Sharp (C#)

I feel like a mediocre motorcycle framework would take you maybe a week of dedicated after-work studying if the assets were already available

#

Well, at least to get to the point to make it yourself

#

Youd still be looking up stuff and having issues but at least youd know how to go about doing it

#

Im like day 3 or 4 of dedicated studying

hoary pier Apr 8, 2019, 2:46 AM

full time study maybe (40 hours)

#

There's just so much to learn about game dev and basic engine functionality that will make it slower than that i believe. If you just want to place a motorcycle asset in a level and mess with rendering then you can do that easier but still a good amount to learn

The Crew games are good open world motorcycle games 😃

kindred viper Apr 8, 2019, 2:58 AM

I made a motorcycle using the vehicle component. It was a pain in the butt. It took me some time to figure out that physx setup for wheels requires a minimum amount without customisation. So I ended up spoofing it with 2 dummy wheels. But it screwed up the authenticity. My advice, if you make a motorcycle, make it from scratch and try not to use the VMC unless you are willing to get stuck into the physx code

Still having some weird issues with addrotation, world relative and local. I need to rotate an item's hurtbox when it's equipped to a character. I figured add rotation would work fine but it's behaving really bizarrely. For instance, if I rotate 90 degrees on the Z everything works fine. If I also want to rotate the y 90 degrees then it ignores both rotations. If I go 89 on the y, 90 on the z it works fine, but not symmetrically. As in, even though it's fine on the right hand the left hand won't rotate.

https://i.imgur.com/pvN6252.png

https://i.imgur.com/fdfWEEr.png

Imgur

#

Most of my other items only need to be rotated 90 degrees so this isn't an issue but now that I have a fist weapon (like brass knuckles) that needs to be rotate on more than one axis I'm running into issues

abstract relic Apr 8, 2019, 4:55 AM

You need to punch the artist that gave you assets with improper orientation

cerulean sorrel Apr 8, 2019, 5:37 AM

😬 😬 😬

plush yew Apr 8, 2019, 5:37 AM

#

Oh I hit myself daily. This is really only a problem for items that are ambidextrous and need to face the same direction in either hand. So my idea for brass knuckles was that when in the left hand I'd rotate them 90 one way, and when in left rotate them 90 the other

#

And like, this works fine it's just that I apparently can't rotate in two directions at once if those values both need to be 90? Very frustrating, since I can bump everything one degree at a time and get very close to what I'm looking for but never exactly what I need. AND then for some reason it just won'

t work on the left hand. So even if I scuff it up on the right hand the left hand just won't play ball

dim plover Apr 8, 2019, 7:24 AM

There are plenty of BP-exposed Quat stuff on the marketplace.

deep basin Apr 8, 2019, 7:28 AM

#

I recommend reading briefly into quaternions, at least why and how they are used for rotations so you can tell if you absolutely need a quaternion for your task or not

#

as far as I am aware they take less computations in the long run, since you create a new axis you rotate around instead of constructing a rotation along the usual x, y, z axis. therefore they are most of the time a better choice, but thats just what I learned in general theory stuff

At some point, the freaking thing starts rotating around roll....

Are you able to do it for one of the two?

E.g. Value to White?

I'm not an Artist, but I know I did things like these in Substance. So it should be easy in a Material too.
If you know how to do it for Value to White, you could just invert the left image and then do it from (1-Value) to White. That is the same as Value to Black.

what's new is a dependency on .net 4.6.2 development tools

scarlet birch Apr 8, 2019, 3:20 PM

I've never had it installed and this is the first time I received a warning when generating the project

#

ah

manic pawn Apr 8, 2019, 3:21 PM

(that's an optional package in the vs 2019 installer under the .net desktop development thing)

scarlet birch Apr 8, 2019, 3:21 PM

#

I'm using 2017. But yeah already added it and building. I was just wondering what changed.

#

Is it worth switching to 2019? Do I gain anything?

cloud cobalt Apr 8, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

Slightly better build time

manic pawn Apr 8, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

significantly faster and more accurate intellisense, live error checking is now actually useful for unreal

scarlet birch Apr 8, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

anything that improves intellisense, I'll take.

#

The error wanted 4.6.2, any reason to install anything other than that? i.e. 4.7.1 or others?

grim ore Apr 8, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

you should install the one it wants, it checks for that one specifically.

how do you even have a computer without .NET runtimes on it in 2019? 😄 #respect

well

even if there was a max speed, it would at least accelerate faster

is the xeon 5650 better than the r5 2600?

and is it gonna be good fore ue4 development?

it might have a max accel too

the xeon is gonna be better i think @coral shoal it has 12 cores

and can go up to whooping 4.5ghz!

That is gonna be a beast for ue4!

Try adding the third person content pack

Click add new "the green button"

Then assign the game mode that is in the content pack to the level by going to "world settings" on the right

To get the world settings to show up you'll have to go to 'window' at the top and click world settings

If this is a new project it is due to your Game Default Map being the Entry map which is blank, you need to change that in your project settings

I was just testing it out mainly, the compilation after reading some stuff above

If it's a new project won't it default the default map?

@plush yew it would be good enough for grunt work. It does not clock very high out of the box but it has 6 cores/12 threads which will help for light mass/baking/shader compiling/C++ code. depends on the cost and what other options there are

so it's even harder for me

grim ore Apr 8, 2019, 6:43 PM

the content examples is full of stuff to break apart, but besides that the question is why you dont understand them. Are you trying to do to much and dont understand what to do with them or you dont understand the concept of Blueprints themselves or etc..

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:43 PM

Blueprints are literally like Java but function blocks .

So just displayed to the coder a bit differently

cerulean sorrel Apr 8, 2019, 6:44 PM

shouldnt matter for learning, you didnt know math before someone taught it to you.

Hmmmm yeah that's the problem then, the more programming languages you learn the better you will be

Because you will learn not only how to code , but good architecture practices and that just comes w time and your own preferences

really

Clients can possess pawns and so get pawn returns the possessed pawn of a player client

Player[0] on the client is always .. self

cerulean sorrel Apr 8, 2019, 6:49 PM

#

i understand what that code e just posted does

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

Also one of the advanced beginner topics is actually ray trace and so after you learn about possessing then learn about raytraces

#

Basically Every 3d game uses tons of ray tracing

#

Because... That is how 3d things interact

cerulean sorrel Apr 8, 2019, 6:50 PM

hmmm

i see the first person shooter template use lots of get nodes

got confused

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

can anyone help me?

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:51 PM

#

F5, put an invert between each bool and the AND

#

And then flip the true and false outputs

#

OR use something like NAND I think

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

is invert "not"?

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

Correct

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

I tried NAND an still didnt work

Type !

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

only sometimes

scarlet birch Apr 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

F5 "or"

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

its super random

cerulean sorrel Apr 8, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

why do i seee get nodes in every template

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

No I don't think OR would work , he's checking for them all to be false together

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

still doesnt work like that

📎 unknown.png

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

Nand wouldn't work actually n

stark jasper Apr 8, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

hmmm, isnt that the exact case where OR should work?

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

That just flips the output

scarlet birch Apr 8, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

yeah, so if any one is true "or" is true

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

Oooo I got you

#

Yes or would work lmao

scarlet birch Apr 8, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

c'mon guys

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

when the 4 bools on the left are all false i want it to fire false

#

not when 3 are true and 1 is false haha

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

So use an OR (and just invert the output or whatever)

#

They are right ^^

grim juniper Apr 8, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

Is XOR a thing?

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 6:55 PM

Yeah but that's way different

That's about the number of true inputs being odd or whatever

The OR works perfectly fine an i fixed another issue an the system is working now, thank you ^^^

grim juniper Apr 8, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

I think we all just overly complicated the whole thought process. Yeah, OR is all you need

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 7:04 PM

#

Yeah I thought there is a law in Boolean logic

#

Something like if you invert all the inputs and the output it's the same as switching from AND to OR

#

De Morgan ?

#

DeMorgans theorem :D it was just applied

harsh tiger Apr 8, 2019, 7:05 PM

#

now i know its or an not and and i take a step back an think about it logically OR makes sense and AND doesnt haha

#

but ty again

true leaf Apr 8, 2019, 7:07 PM

#

NOT (NOT A AND NOT B) == A OR B

#

Because you are checking that both are not 0 .. either way

#

Also that is a theorem not a law ^ so if someone can write a proof then they will be famous lol

grim ore Apr 8, 2019, 7:13 PM

its because you have dual channel ram more than likely in that old of a board, so the limit is going to be there no matter what

so 1330 mhz is ok?

Technically you can't reason about computer hardware based on Hz alone. That's a unit of frequency only 🤔

#

ay guys 😃

#

guys I have two huds and both of them have the same code for making a reticle visible/invisible
i dont know why but the 2nd hud doesnt work
it has the reticle visible linked by function, the function code is the exact same
both visibilities are linked to their respective functions
its the exact same code copy pasted, and it should work generically. idk why its not working
the vid im watching he only does what iv done, and it worked for him x_x
