@plush yew what does your code look like? you make triangles yes and make sure they are in clockwise order
plush yew
I'm using the blueprint node for it
thorn hazel
can someone please give me a link to the documentation page .. to clear .. what exactly is 'Unreal Units'
static viper
one uu is 1 cm
woeful wraith
when you look at a location of an actor, and move it around, that's unreal units
plush yew
because the BP node has a triangle array input, I'm just assuming in that array it goes by 1st element to 2nd element, 2nd element to 3rd, and 3rd to 1st
grim ore
nope
grim ore
so you need to define the vertices array, points in your world for vertices
grim ore
then your triangles array are sets of 3 and point to points in the vertices. so like your triangles would be 0,1,2 for the first 3 values
and it would connect vertices[0] to vertices [1] to vertices [2] then close it back to 0
plush yew
oooh ok i gotcha
plush yew
i totally forgot there was a vertices array
woeful wraith
udk lol 😄
plush yew
i just didnt make the mental connection between the two haha
grim ore
yep yep, your next triangle would be triangles[3] [4] and [5] for example pointing to 3 Vertices indexes
plush yew
yep i got that
I just made a square by making it 0, 1, 2
then for 3 4 5, they hold 0, 2 and 3
so it just loops back to the square corner
i was a little confused because my square had some kind weird edge bending inward but i got it
also, any reason why my mesh starts out upside down?
when i did my array in reverse order, the mesh flips around
grim ore
yep yep
thorn hazel
@static viper if it is so easy .. as a google search .. I wouldn't have asked
try doing so .. and give me a link
grim ore
your normals are facing outwards when you do it in clockwise order
if you do it counter clockwise your normals will face the other way
plush yew
hm ok
static viper
i gave you a link.
try clicking it
it opens a page on your browser
i can advise using opera.
thorn hazel
isn't that from UDK? maybe outdated?
static viper
you are not out for knowledge.
when we tell you that it is...
why do you search for proof.
grim ore
so X is forward so winding your triangle clockwise should make it face the X positive. It get really fun when you are doing like a complete box and putting your head around the location of each point. I found drawing the item in like paint, writing numbers for each vertices, then doing it in your code was easier
thorn hazel
because.. I read conflicting things..
somewhere I read .. it is 2cm = 1 Unreal Unit
1 cm = 1 Unreal Unit
plush yew
yeah i actually have a notebook next to me at all times that lets me draw out math
storm burrow
@abstract relic If I want my particle to be lit, why would I set the material to be unlit :o?
I am missing something obvious here I guess
plush yew
drawing out maths really does wonders when you need to learn something or figure out how to logically get magic to work
grim ore
😃
abstract relic
Unlit doesn’t mean no light

inner cloak
is it possible to lock the sky sphere so i dont delete it by mistake ? This happens if i square select some items in my scene !!!
warped tangle
@inner cloak the only workaround I know for that is to put whatever you want to be unselectable on a sub-level and lock that
grim ore
you can use layers to hide it as well but then it's hidden 😦
inner cloak
ok, i think sub-level might work
warped tangle
@inner cloak not a layer, https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Levels/LevelsWindow/index.html
woeful wraith
it'll still get selected with sub levels
warped tangle
not if you lock the level
woeful wraith
ah
inner cloak
so, which one i lock, the master or the sub ?
warped tangle
I don't know if locking the persistent level will lock all subs, I'd just put your skydome on the sub and lock that (along with anything else you might want to lock)
inner cloak
ok, lemme try
warped tangle
I BELIEVE (take this with a grain of salt) that you will need to set the sub to always loaded for it to work properly at runtime? again, I haven't really used sublevels all that much but I know the concepts
grim ore
^^ this is correct
and yes just lock the sub level with the objects you don't want selected in that level, so like just the sky sphere in a level is fine
woeful wraith
wish i had known about locking sublevels earlier 😄
warped tangle
learn something new every day
woeful wraith
indeed
grim ore
^^ I didn't even know about them either so lol 😃 Really wish we could get locking of objects tho for selection and not just transform
warped tangle
Agreed
I use Allright Rig for animation, and he has implemented a "set selectable" node for his rig, which is INSANELY useful to stop you selecting stuff you dont want to
I might dive in to that code to see what he's doing
inner cloak
How do move my sphere to the other layer?
warped tangle
Easiest way might be to duplicate your level, add it as a sublevel, and delete everything but the sky sphere
I dont think you can just "move" actors across
grim ore
warped tangle
or the much easier way than I said....lol
autumn elbow
so... why does everyone put the Player Controls into the PlayerCharacter and not the PlayerController
warped tangle
oh boy
honest vale
pawns have SetupPlayerInputComponent function that you can use to implement pawn specific controls, maybe due to that
grim ore
like if I have a humanoid and a vehicle, putting controls for both in the controller might end up being wonky if they control different
warped tangle
^^^
autumn elbow
ahh i see
grim ore
controls for agnostic stuff, maybe the menu?, can go in the controller no problemo
autumn elbow
Gotcha
grim ore
then again we only live a couple decades why worry and just put it all in the game mode!
warped tangle
LOL
autumn elbow
ohh Mathew, I saw your UMG playlist last night 🙂
grim ore
Where the code goes is a future you problem lol 😃
warped tangle
next tutorial, "HTF Do I.....make future me hate past me?"
grim ore
that one is easy. don't use comments
warped tangle
oh I remember my first major BP. No functions, all in the event graph, no comments
grim ore
no reroute nodes!
autumn elbow
I have a request... 😄 You have a playlist for all the HTF do I, except UMG. Any chance you can make a playlist for the HTF for UMG?
grim ore
I do not? how rude of me
warped tangle
ya'll should check out the electronic nodes plugin that was released recently, pretty dang cool. My OCD feels much better
autumn elbow
You're a busy man.. may have missed it
grim ore
well I would assume laziness but yeah, we will go with busy
I see one, is this not it? https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSlkDq2rO1t5c5hMyl2JZuwp_G2x8uc_S
warped tangle
laziness breeds innovation.....at some point, I don't feel like it right now....
grim ore
😃 past me looking out for future me right there
autumn elbow
Any chance future you can give me the lotto numbers ?
grim ore
It was possible tho, I tag all the types of videos and use auto playlists so it was a chance it was not picking up the correct tag 😃
robust turtle
okay, so i'm trying to make my vehicle turn more, but i cant get it to turn fast enough, especially at fast speeds. what should i do get my car to turn sharper?
warped tangle
UE4s vehicle movement stuff is terrible out of the box, you'll have to do a lot of tweaking. I had issues with steering while accelerating. Don't remember what I did to fix it though....
On an actual note, I don't ask many questions here, but I have an actor class that is disappearing on simulate/play every time. Didn't do it until today, and the only thing I've been doing the past few days is messing with AA and lighting settings.
robust turtle
aah, thank you
warped tangle
It's not an initial lifespan thing, it's actually being removed from the world alltogether (no reference of it in the world outliner)
inner cloak
i assume was something like this ?
warped tangle
yep something like that
grim ore
that looks good here 👍
inner cloak
im a quick learner ... sometimes lol
grim ore
make sure the sublayer is set to always loaded tho which I think it is?
no blue dot so pretty sure it's correct 😃
inner cloak
Yup, that works very nice !
the "Change streaming method" option has been moved, which is why it took me some time
warped tangle
Any of yall know how to watch an actor and see why it's being destroyed?
inner cloak
i recall having to track source with source code for an issue we had in 4.16
inner cloak
You want it to crash more constantly ? (joke)
warped tangle
lol
robust turtle
hahhah
cloud palm
lol
warped tangle
I've had that linker crash in the past, may want to search for that, or check the actual crash log
rose meadow
okay thanks
cloud palm
anyone have idea on this bp https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Creating_a_shared_camera_for_multiplayer_games
Creating a shared camera for multiplayer games
for somehow it is not working, seems to be too old
grim ore
@warped tangle might not be the best way but... every actor has an event destroyed you can override, do that and put a print string after it then F9 to breakpoint on it so it will pause when it gets destroyed. After this when it's paused being destroyed go into Window -> Developer -> Blueprint debugger and go to the Execution Flow and the Execution trace and you can end up with something like this https://i.imgur.com/3mnuvH2.png where you can see my BP_Destroy was called Event Destroyed by the Level Blueprint (Untitled_c_1) calling Destroy Actor on it after begin play
@rose meadow the only way to figure that out will be to add the debugging files from the launcher/source so when it crashes you can see where it is crashing in more detail. The little drop down next to the engine versions in the launcher has options to install the debugging files
plush yew
man thanks so much guys for pointing me in the right direction with PMCs
I just got a hexagon shape to work, I think from here it just seems to be a matter of messing with the Z values of the vertices to create terrain!
definitely can see how this can be done
rose meadow
@grim ore Thanks !
inner cloak
is it possible to copy some scene assets from one scene to another one ?
or move even
robust turtle
i think so
inner cloak
i have a big scene and would hate to have to restart almost from scratch
grim ore
one map to another? copy paste works pretty well believe it or not
or just add the 2nd level as a sub level, move the stuff to it, then remove it as a sub level
inner cloak
hmm .. pretty sure i had tested that .. but will try again
grim ore
yeah it depends on the items you are moving from one to the other of course
grim ore
it should work, just meshes should copy/paste fine if memory permits. moving from one level to the other using sub levels might be safer
inner cloak
Thanks MathewW, will try this from home, just finished work !
grim ore
wooo, got another hour here for work before I can go home and work 😃
grim ore
just remember if you use sub levels and move stuff, save the sub level before removing it lol
idle haven
Maybe its dump question but. Can i use low poly cylinder with smoothing groups instead of baking highpoly ?
warped tangle
@grim ore I will try your above method, these disappearing actors are driving me nuts.
plush yew
is there something similar to the noise node in material except for in bp?
plush yew
lmao when i did make a noise node i did actually mistakenly choose the audio one haha
i guess i just gotta work with perlin for now
oh wait i can use sobol randomness, hell yes
warped tangle
what are you trying to do? lol
plush yew
yeah right now im learning about not only procedural mesh components, but also noise maths and stuff
also, how do I make it so a BP with random math creates a random number everytime on construction?
do I just throw in a delta time into the seed?
warped tangle
@grim ore well...nothing is calling the DestroyActor event, it's just destroying itself
cloud palm
How can I make a auto zoom camera system for two character?
I was thinking about using the set view target with blend node
grim ore
it might be the lifetime of the object then, or the kill Z?
cloud palm
why is my bp always say access to none when I use the set view target with blend node?
warped tangle
@grim ore nope neither, checked both
grim ore
😦 I am at a loss then, weird nothing is calling it
warped tangle
and I'm noticing I lose 6 actors right after play, but I only have 3 of the actors that I can see are being destroyed...so something else is being destroyed as well
I'm watching the total actor number in the world outliner
plush yew
for sobol cells, if I want it to be different every time, I'm assuming i just throw world delta seconds into the previous value, but won't that just make the sobol cell bigger over time?
grim ore
Maybe they are being spawned on top of eachother and then destroyed by that but that is ... weird
warped tangle
they're placed in world though...there's nothing spawning them
grim ore
yep which is why I said weird because I don't even think they get destroyed if so
I don't know why the execution trace wouldn't show why tho but it's possible if the engine is killing it for some reason
plush yew
oop, guess i answered my own question lol
warped tangle
gonna check and see if the actors are being destroyed on a different map..
they do not destroy themselves on a different map
same exact actor
whaaaaaaaaat the hell
glacial pecan
anyone in here made a quest/dialogue/branching system using only data tables and structs?
and if so, how did you avoid string matching when it comes to activating scripted functionality?
warped tangle
@grim ore .....I figured it out lol
I added a new sky sphere. And with that sky sphere came a new skydome static mesh. And with that static mesh came a freegin sphere collision lol. No wonder, all my actors were inside a collision. Funny how only those 3 were being destroyed, and there was no call at all
plush yew
hmmm, how would i create voronoi polygons in BP
I just got created a simple random point dispenser that dots up a grid in a nice quasirandom scatter
now im wondering what the best way to make voroni polygons would be with these nodes
grim ore
@warped tangle aww man thats a weird one but makes some sense. I didnt think the default sky sphere had collision on tho
warped tangle
@grim ore Nope, the default one doesn't.....MP asset one sure did lol. It must have been catapulting the actors into the Kill Z like instantly
grim ore
yep that makes sense
and gotcha, I know the fireland asset has the sky sphere messed up like that so was hoping another one didnt lol
warped tangle
Lol this is a different one, and does. Teaches me to use other peoples hard work
grim ore
I thought it might have been killz as well so now I am curious to find out how to debug that happening
warped tangle
@grim ore Once I fixed it, I wanted to know why I couldn't trace that issue at all. I put one of the same actors at -1,000,000 on the Z axis, so that it would fall a short distance and hit the Kill Z, and set up the breakpoints etc. Nothing calls destroy on the actor, it calls it on itself. No reference to KillZ volume or anything (I'm assuming the default KillZ behavior is still considered a KillZ volume).
grim ore
yep called from Unknown, that's a super duper way to track it down 😦
grim ore
nah the engine version doesnt work the same way as the volume
warped tangle
ahh
so if I set a kill Z volume as an override maybe that would give better behavior for tracing issues like that>?
grim ore
probably not. I think alot of the engine -> BP code for stuff like this is just not going to get picked up in the editor for debugging
grim ore
lol... so there is a damage type associated when you fall out of the world with killz, I thought I could check for that but.... that data is not actually used...
grim ore
man there is a warning to the log when it is outside of world bounds but nothing for KillZ, would be a nice change to just add a log entry when it happens
warped tangle
yeah
grim ore
the actor calls destroy on itself which is why we don't see where it is coming from is the issue. The actor checks if it's still in the world and the KillZ check is part of that
warped tangle
Super good to know though
grim ore
ok so atleast in the future I know if something else is destroying it then the debugger does atleast show that. When the actor is killing itself, lifetime is hit or Killz, then it will just show the actor. so this can atleast narrow it down
and we know the engine KillZ world settings are actually checked in the actor itself lol
glacial pecan
fuzzy question, but is there a data type in Unreal that's like an enum, but you can set more than one item to be "true" at the same time?
grim ore
which BTW, one of the awesome reasons why having the source code is handy 😃
rose meadow
you can use a struct?
grim ore
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Blueprints/UserGuide/Variables/Bitmask/index.html bitmask @glacial pecan
rose meadow
I think
cloud palm
hi, dose anyone know how I can draw lines on a cube?
warped tangle
@grim ore Thanks for going down the rabbit hole with me lol
grim ore
now don't shoot me if the bitmasks dont work, I havent used them in engine yet lol
@warped tangle lol I literally sit in here all day just to figure out stuff like that 😃
glacial pecan
@grim ore thanks... looks interesting... I wonder if I can include them in a data table... containing a list of finished quests, for example...
like a prerequisites column
warped tangle
@grim ore Lol let me know if you're ever LFW
rose meadow
@glacial pecan like a string / bool group ?
grim ore
maybe? but I think more of an array of just quest objects or ID's or a list if they are unique of ID's might be easier?
glacial pecan
@rose meadow or hash table, or 2d array... sure... I just want it clearly exposed in the unreal editor... of sorts
grim ore
I dunno I never liked bitmasks because it's math and math is hard
glacial pecan
hehe, same!
grim ore
but I am playing with it now so 😃
grim ore
the nice thing is the documentation looks complete tho 😃
@cloud palm there is no real drawing class in UE4 right now, the closest I could think of is drawing debug lines every frame which would be odd or to have part of your material designed to allow you to do that
cloud palm
I am currently looking at your video on snap to grid, seems work for me
I just want to draw visible line on cube lol
like a track for running
grim ore
ok bitmasks are integrated super easily in the engine, this is not scary at all lol
for drawing lines on something like that either a custom material with a texture you can resize to make lines or you can use material nodes like draw line or a grid you can resize
doing it in texture is cheaper if you have a choice
glacial pecan
@rose meadow yeah... structs with arrays in data tables seem to work, but holy crap that CSV export...
grim ore
there is one yep
rose meadow
@glacial pecan yeah, that's why I wasn't sure
cloud palm
What do I link the draw line node to ?
grim ore
it just outputs a white line in material space with black in the other parts and it depends on what your original material looks like
cloud palm
so I have to create a texture for the cube I am using?
grim ore
this is a basic setup https://i.imgur.com/m3FTwGM.png , removing the Add with the Color at the end gives you white lines and black background for example
cloud palm
kk
grim ore
replacing the Add with a Multiply gives you colored lines with a black background
moving the lines to emissive for example (the first add) and then the color to base gives a base color for the item and glowing lines lol
cloud palm
can I get multiple lines?
grim ore
well that example was 2 lines, one node per line so sure just keep adding them together
cloud palm
kk
grim ore
but at some point you are going to have some weird material setup that might be expensive to run so if you can fake it with a texture that is smarter
cloud palm
kk
grim ore
oh thats lovely the default floor mesh has a bad UV0 channel lol
cloud palm
@grim ore I think I will go for the glowing line, it match better with my scene lol
@grim ore what is the meaning of those node that said 0.1.0?
Is that the size of the line?
grim ore
coordinates in UV space, 0.0 is the top left and 1.0 is the bottom right
grim ore
yep its drawing the lines basically so you adjust those based on what you want to see
grim ore
lol I made a tennis court out of the draw lines in the material https://i.imgur.com/4YC53lE.png
warped tangle
nobody likes a showoff lol
grim ore
pretty much 1 add per total lines - 1, since you need 1 add for the 1st 2 lines then another add to add those 2 lines together with a 3rd line and repeating
you need 1 draw line per line tho heh
warped tangle
lol! 1 line per line eh?
grim ore
super inneficient https://i.imgur.com/pfRV04h.png you can see its at over 200 instructions for this one basic material which is way more than just 1 texture heh
I'm sure smarter art people can do it better tho but I am a programmer tasked with drawing lines on a cube lol
warped tangle
....you can keep your tennis court lol

Is it normal for UE to crash completely just because of a bug in your C++ ?
serene sorrel
i feel like it shouldnt bring down the whole editor, just the run time of the game
winged crypt
Not sure where to post this but -- a store (like Steam) has reported a start-up crash and all they sent me was a dmp (minidump) and a crashreportclient.ini -- can I use these two to figure out why they encountered a startup crash? I cannot reproduce it on my end.
safe swallow
ue4 used to crash on me all the time...I fixed it by a hardware manipulation...increased voltage on ram in bios/uefi
that would be the difference between amd and intel?
Assertion failed: Importer.ImportData((FBaseMaterialData*)this) [File:D:\Build++UE4\Sync\Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealLightmass\Private\ImportExport\Material.cpp] [Line: 13]
Strange error when I build... I don't even have a D: drive.
serene sorrel
everything crashing completely due to an assertion failing, or something else small seems very odd to me, destroys good workflow
plush yew
debugger is your friend. it shows where you make mistake. 🙂
also prototyping your new code with new small projects helps alot timewise
from my own experience
serene sorrel
well sure, its just horrible the way everything crashes. in my case the code that is crashing is only called when the game is "run" so the editor really doesnt have to bring itself down it can just go back to its "pre run state"
safe swallow
@serene sorrel Crashes are either hardware or software... it can be complicated to pinpoint...
@plush yew Im kinda UE4 noob... how do I debug? I only purchase assests from UE4 Marketplace, and try to blend them together...
plush yew
There are tons of topics about that in the forums if you search for it. But maybe this can help you to get started.
safe swallow
ohoh , I got no c++ code, it is all blue prints... I made sure of that when I purchased assets... cause I got experience in iPhone app development ,,, did that a few years back for a few years...
I will check this link out none the less I probably should learn c++ properly anyways...I got lots of it, cause I used to script NWN a lot.
plush yew
oh right it was someone else with the c++ stuff 😄
but im pretty sure you can do breakpoints and such with blueprints too
not familiar with that topic tho
safe swallow
Honestly I think it is the engine... I did a reinstall... but... I didnt manually delete anything... and thus I am willing to bet EPIC puts a file or two... that dont delete. so it keeps settings etc.
im not sure im just confused
plush yew
might be a lots of reasons. maybe your marketplace asset wont work with certaing engine versions or it has bugs and so on. its hard to tell sometimes 🙂

with the default third person character, what's the thought process behind making it so when I press a movement key the character instantly turns to that side instead of going around (so if I press left when turned right, instead of the character taking some key presses to get there it instantly turns right)?

slow reacting movement sucks in all cases
better to have it move instantly where you want to go and then try to cover it up with magic animation blending

click on the the thing that appeared and go on the details tab on the left
there should be a 'value parameter'

how are you putting it? send me a screen

that i5 should be able to run at around 90 and be fine. not sure about amd gpus but nvidia cards won't go beyond low-mid 80s
static viper
i am more worried about that rx...
it sounds like the pc is cramped
and what if the coolant on the cpu is gone
how old is that pc? @fallen spear
woeful wraith
i don't know enough about those to say with certainty, but gpus usually don't overheat
static viper
my gpu certainly overheats
there are some that dont have external power plugs
if the fans dont get enough power...
they shutdown
like the entire thing
fallen spear
hm
processor new
motherboard new
ram new
static viper
all new
fallen spear
Yeah
static viper
did you apply coolant for the cpu chip?
its a paste
like ketchup
but its all gray
you really really bad for skin.
fallen spear
Hmm @static viper i dont know
woeful wraith
is your computer having problems already or are you just worried that it will?
fallen spear
Worried i think
woeful wraith
then i wouldn't worry about it. worry after it shuts down for no reason 😄
fallen spear
Huhhh
woeful wraith
it will shut itself down before any damage happens, unless something really horrible went wrong
serene sorrel
Anyone know why you have to call AddInstanceComponent to have dynamic components show up in the editor?
I didnt see in any dynamic actors that add static mesh examples show the need for it
fallen spear
@fallen spear
serene sorrel
it otherwise works fine in the game without it, you just cant see them in the details pane
fallen spear

Hii
gloomy acorn
hey guys, how can i detect if a mouse is near the border of the window? (want to move the camera when near the edges of the screen)
serene sorrel
in blueprint?
GetMousePosition and GetViewportSize is all you need
then just see if the X,Y is in the border zone you define and like, do whatever you want
serene sorrel
mouse move edge of window is kinda bad design though because it doesnt work well with Windowed things
cloud cobalt
You can lock mouse to windows
serene sorrel
to some extent yes, but its just bad design because most people dont expect window mouse position to be locked
cloud cobalt
Most people don't really play windowed games tbh
If you're doing an RTS and have a windowed option, the locking is the only answer
dim plover
Windowed? Like Windowed vs Fullscreen? I thought Windowed was preferred. More and more games default to borderless windowed now.
cloud cobalt
Borderless window is yet another thing
Windowed, with an actual window title and window controls and the Windows task bar, is rarely used
The point is that many modern games offer the three options, one of them being problematic for top-down strategy games
wary wave
I play some 4X games windowed
the turn based / slow nature of it means I can keep it on one screen and do whatever on the other during waiting times
and not worry about cursor being locked to the view port
cloud cobalt
Yeah, but "point to side of screen to pan" is still a good control type for many games
On PC anyway
cloud cobalt
Makes sense
honest vale
I have thought that side panning is pretty much obsolete these days 🤔
at least it feels awkward to me nowadays
supcom style zooming in and out or then just grabbing is what I usually do
wary wave
depends on the game, but panning is still very common
SupCom has panning too
not that people necessarily use it, but it is there
serene birch
I just like keyboard panning too much myself 😮
cloud cobalt
Grabbing in a fast paced strategy game is a big nope for me
wary wave
grabbing?
cloud cobalt
Like pressing LMB while moving to pan the camera
wary wave
ah gotcha
in SupCom it makes sense because of the scale
but generally I'm a mini-map clicker + WSAD panner
serene sorrel
@cloud cobalt no one who properly plays RTS does edge scrolling, they use keyboard
Edge scrolling is some 90s invention that doesnt really help anyone
cloud cobalt
That's a weird personal take imho but fine
wary wave
edge scrolling is great from an accessibility perspective
serene sorrel
how so
like if you only have one arm/hand type thing? Yeah it is probably preferable in situations like that
but i dont really know of any game type besides strategy games that have that feature, its actually quite annoying to deal with when you can just use WASD as it makes the viewport area for selection smaller
i think thats why most games released since maybe a decade ago have "edge scrolling" as an option
serene birch
do MOBA games count?
they are kind of strategy games
they usually do edge panning by default I think
woeful wraith
I usually play those games with one hand. edge scrolling is nice
warped tangle
I too edge scroll from time to time
serene sorrel
yeah i cant see any advantage at all having edge scrolling when you have WASD type movement, but if its one handed there is certainly a good reason to have it
woeful wraith
doesn't really matter how you scroll around when gandi drops a nuke on you
serene sorrel
since C&C in 96 they have WASD or arrow keys
warped tangle
But hey, I guess if you can't see an advantage to having edge scrolling, then it shouldn't be a feature anymore
serene sorrel
no one that is even averagely good at games like starcraft use edge scrolling
its too slow and ineffective compared to alternatives
warped tangle
are we having a freegin WASD master race discussion here? wtf? You just heard from multiple people saying that they use edge scrolling
woeful wraith
maybe we play for fun
warped tangle
get off your high horse bro
serene sorrel
well if you dont care about efficiency then edge scrolling can work for you. Definitely have it as an option in your game
warped tangle
jesus dude
serene sorrel
some games like CIV it doesnt matter if its slow
warped tangle
It must be a shock to your system, but not everybody does things the way you do. People have these things called preferences, and play styles. Why not cater to 2 of the most common methods. keyboard and edge scroll?
serene sorrel
edge scroll is objectively less efficient than other things, i never said you shouldnt have it as an option
warped tangle
Did edge scrolling touch you when you were a kid or something? You are super pissy about edge scrolling
Who gives a shit about efficiency, we're talking about GAMES. They are played for FUN
serene sorrel
lol bro im fine, you seem upset you are an edge scroller
like i said its objectively less efficient than other movement systems
warped tangle
My point is this isn't something we're trying to get published in a journal. It's a play style, who cares if it's less efficient
serene birch
I don't know, I think most Dota pro players use edge pan
serene sorrel
well thats why it should be an option, please as much people as possible
serene birch
though it's not exactly an RTS
woeful wraith
my preference is actually click & drag w/ mousewheel to zoom, Google maps style :D edge scrolling is fine though. I always implement every kind of input I can think of
warped tangle
^^^
serene sorrel
its just a fact that no one that plays real time strategy for any length of time uses edge scroll in any meaningful way, its just not designed for fast paced movement or selection
its usually irritating
warped tangle
To you
Again, you're speaking as if your method is the only plausible one. Why even go down that road, take the most common methods and implement them as long as it doesn't get in the way of gameplay
serene sorrel
well the point is, you shouldnt be one or the other. when it comes to strategy edge scrolling has been in since the 90s so a lot of people are used to it and it should be an option
serene sorrel
edge scrolling is objectively less efficient than WASD, my argument is anyone who plays RTS a lot doesnt use it, its just a fact bro
warped tangle
I play RTS's all the damn time and edge scroll. Your argument is invalid, you assume that everybody that plays RTS's is playing league/ranked stuff. A lot of people play for fun
serene sorrel
its like pretending strafing in FPS games is useless compared to rotating the mouse and pushing it up
what RTS do you play
warped tangle
That's how my wife plays FPS's, she dies a lot, but she has fun lol
Company of Heroes 1/2, SC2 here and there
serene sorrel
im not saying you cant have fun edge scrolling bro, its just clearly way more inefficient than other methods of camera movement. just ack it and move on
warped tangle
I actually edge scroll and minimap clip honestly
Dude your argument of efficiency in a video game is bananas
It's a game
serene sorrel
whats the first two letters of RTS mean
woeful wraith
retweet
warped tangle
lololol
Not bustin your balls, but you yell at people when they don't "keep up" huh?
serene sorrel
nah im just dealing in facts bro, you should have options to please as many people as possible and edge scrolling is a 5 minute thing you can do so have it there
but you are pretending anyone that plays quake a lot uses only mouse and pushes forward to move forward instead of WASD, sure some people play that way but anyone that plays a lot moves on to more superior forms of control
and its literally the same with RTS, edge scrolling is for slow games or newbies, everyone knows that
warped tangle
No, I'm saying who gives a shit what method is used, as long as it's available for the player to decide
jesus there you go again....
serene sorrel
who gives a shit? the guy who keeps getting fragged probably
thats why you move from newbie to intermediate to good to pro
warped tangle
if the player wants to play that way then who cares? It's a damn. game. dude.
"pro"
plush yew
competitive gaming has ruined the fun of gaming 
serene sorrel
play however you want, in a competitive environment the shit methods get exposed, obviously
warped tangle
@plush yew THANK YOU
serene sorrel
i wouldnt say the fact pro players use WASD for movement is somehow ruining any game 😛
warped tangle
No, but this whole culture of "pro" gaming is ruining gaming for the rest of us
serene sorrel
thats another topic but yeah i see that
warped tangle
Rainbow Six Siege is a perfect example, completely ruined by kids taking shit too seriously

serene sorrel
That Rust game is so awfully slow to load and needs 16GB of ram to play, yet it has millions of players, kinda interesting game
made on Unity
lots of toxic people on it that ruin the uh human spirit
but also quite fabulous in its addictive qualities
warped tangle
in fairness......the original COD MW was pretty toxic lol, but we all dealt with it
plush yew
true, but it didnt have voip 😛
serene sorrel
well Rust is like a semi permanent game, it wipes like every week/2weeks/month type thing, so its a mix of like a normal FPS and MMORPG
plush yew
or maybe im talking earlier cod games 😄
warped tangle
Pretty sure MW had voice
serene sorrel
so the toxicity is kinda worse because people put in more hours and then get raided
woeful wraith
I never really noticed rust being that toxic
plush yew
ye i must mix it to some other game Kharvey
woeful wraith
not compared to league of legends or something. community makes that game unplayable
serene sorrel
Well at least in rust you can kinda find some patch of not heavily used ground to build a base and maybe not get raided for a couple days
the SC/SC2/LoL stuff is like , twitch gamers that seem very high, but thin. Rust is more like average intensity but deep
Like if you lose in Starcraft its usually 20-40 mins of your time. You lose a base in Rust it could be days worth of grind you are losing
MMOs its like average low intensity but the losses are probably deeper than Rust
I havent really played any MMORPG since ultima online

Hi, for savegames, how would i save a reference to a component, e.g. a 'Hierarchical Instanced Static Mesh Component' so i can alter it after load?
mild pulsar
I'm going through this course and teacher has PawnInputComponent in his details for default pawn:
I don't have it in my editor:
He's using 4.10 version of the editor and I'm using 4.22
Why don't I have it?
Do I need to manually add it in 4.22 or something?
plush yew
is this same course? https://community.gamedev.tv/t/cant-find-inputcomponent-ue4-16-3/38521
mild pulsar
Yes, found it, thanks
bronze plinth
What course is that
bronze plinth
I bought it but been doing some blueprint stuff before getting into it
is it good ? I felt it was more c++ focused than ue4 (tho thats just from looking at the summary)
mild pulsar
People who finished it say it's good
From what I understood people who already have jobs and finished it in the past say it's good
Only second part is about C++
First is introduction and setup
I'm going through third part atm, they show how to make a simple game in UE4 using C++. But yeah, you work with UE4 and you write enough of C++ code, that's the job
But I wouldn't recommend this course before you understand basics of C++ because they run through C++ superficially and focus on exploring UE4 and programming on UE4
@bronze plinth Luckily, there's a nice book about programming on C++:
http://www.charleshouserjr.com/Cplus2.pdf
So I'd recommend to read 7 first chapters of C++ Primer at the very least before starting this course
bronze plinth
I am kind of searching for a book that'd teach the key features of C++ 2017+
while refreshing my memory on c++
I already know C++ tho its been a year since I had to use it

you bounced
with a velocity proportional to the velocity at which you hit the object

@latent fable - yeah, it's a physics bounce
take a look at the physical materials on surfaces etc
you may be able to mitigate it there

Is there any way to add a max/min range (like in blueprints) to a C++ variable, which is exposed to the editor?
light coyote
in range ?
i have not touched much code, but i belive in c sharp those are the key words to use
maybe it helps
left citrus
i presume it's some sort of engine specific macro, given it's only really for the blueprint interface
but yeah bound to be something along those lines
light coyote
is something like
for Variable in range ()
serene birch
a UPROPERTY?
you can put stuff in the "meta" properties of the property
for floats you use ClampMin and ClampMax independently I guess

Any answer from the great MathewWadstein, is the correct one.
No explanation nessesary

No, that is unacceptable
Some people are not humans. When a person devotes their time, their money, their knowledge to helping others-
They transcend humanity
Mathew is a saint
I will accept that perhaps, once, long ago, he was a human.
But at this point it is wild speculation bordering on heresy.
If not for him I would still be trying to attach movement components to object classes.

Negative. All my efforts with Windows 10 has been devoted to configuring it to be more like windows 7
What are you excited about Mike?
scarlet birch
From the notes it looked like we might be able to edit skin weighting for one
Skin Weight Profiles. The new Skin Weight Profile system enables you to override the original Skin Weights that are stored with a Skeletal Mesh
Sub Animation Graphs (Experimental). During development, your player character’s Animation Blueprint may grow in complexity as you continue to develop and add new features. To offset issues, an extension to the Sub Anim Instance system, new Sub Anim Graphs allow for dynamic switching of sub-sections of an Animation Graph, enabling multi-user-collaboration and memory savings for vaulted or unavailable items.
mystic narwhal
That seems logical. They have done a lot with cloth lately
It seems only natural to add that as a feature
scarlet birch
I don't want to just copy a whole bunch of it, but there are some nice workflow improvements in there
The drag and drop to fill an array seems small but I use make array a lot for stacks and things and it's tedious right now
The rendering stuff too. I'm looking forward to a lot of it.
grim ore
it looks like for the skin weights you have to do it externally 😦
scarlet birch
I was afraid that might be the case.
mystic narwhal
(still trying to get over the fact that I'm in a chat with MathewWadstien)
grim ore
it's just an import option from an FBX right now for overriding
scarlet birch
ugh... how is that different from just importing another fbx or updating the source?
can you change which weights are used on the fly?
mystic narwhal
If that is the case- can't we just make a plug in that will do the same thing?
scarlet birch
I could see that having some use, maybe.
abstract relic
Allow you to build a preset I suppose
scarlet birch
I'll reserve judgement. It feels like something that should have a use and I'm just not seeing it.
grim ore
well it's an array of profiles but lol... Exporting out the third person mesh and reimporting it as a weight profile fails on the importing of the weights....
and yes you can change/reset the profile at runtime so that must be the use case
scarlet birch
I was excited when I thought it meant I could adjust weights in the editor, since a lot of the models on the market have really bad skinning it would save a lot of time.
grim ore
it also looks like you can have different weights imported for individual LOD's so that might be of some use
grim ore
It's why Epic is making the Engine and we all just use it lol 🙂
I mean I still can't get the weights to import but maybe they don't export out? that makes... some sense?
scarlet birch
I haven't looked at it at all. I'm waiting for the release. I have a project I want to start fresh on 4.23 and see how it goes.
grim ore
welp I am not an artist so that is as far as I can go unless I want to try and blender this sucker to try and get it to work. Weird the weights are not exporting
light coyote
@idle haven Shouldnt be any difrent from using it in the regular way
However, maybe you have to use some mask so it doesnt try to do anything on the alpha
Just speculating here
@idle haven By displacement you mean BumpOffset right ?
scarlet birch
@grim ore What's the workflow? You export the weights? or the weighted fbx? I've had a hard time with skeletal meshes not exporting right in 4.22 and had to change the worklflow I was using to accommodate .
grim ore
I was just trying to export them out using export in .22
and yep I think they are borked, the bones come in super weird in blender
abstract relic
Did you set auto align in blender’s import menu
empty nexus
So...question. Really weird anomaly happened. I committed my changes to my git hub, and somehow a mesh was missing collisions even though I saved them. Anyone else ever had a weird instance like that?

can you tell i have no idea what im doing? lol

remove all this
you are inside the wolf ai
so character movement is exposed
you already called it there once
set max speed to 600
and thats it
it should move now

no you still want to set the max speed
the character movement component you already dragged in once
do it again
and call max speed

@fierce tulip Yes - I know. I can't figure out how to fix it though
proper raft
you want to bounce back, but not spin, yes?

anyway, i came to conclusion that SkinWrap does NOT work with Lowpoly to Highpoly. because Skinwrap doesnt work with turbosmooth on top of Skin as well... sooo i just do it by hand. wish me luck

do you want to go through it? or stop instantly at the point of contact?

@odd steppe back in the old 3dsmax 7-ish days as an intern they had me do a 1m polygon mountain range vert by vert by hand

Okay, i'll try that

@zinc rivet sorta, resulted in few years of battling RSI that was fun
zinc rivet
sounds like a "Hmm, a week of that interns time is less expensive than a couple hours programming to re-generate the mountain range" situation
steep rampart
how would you guys reccommend i use 1.003^-(x-2500) as a function
fierce tulip
it was more a "Hourences made a mountain range in max and couldnt bother unwrapping the fooker, so lets have luos unwrap it, vert by vert"
zinc rivet
lol
steep rampart
from my experiences, ue4 hates using negatives in stuff like this
odd steppe
i aligned one Editpoly+Skin+TS model with EditPoly+Skin model so i can look how i can move skin vertices based on tusbosmooth of the other model. so it will ease the pain
zinc rivet
weird function ItzChriz, what's the context?
proper raft
@steep rampart it's not clear exactly what you're asking, or why UE hates negatives?
latent fable
@proper raft Thanks, seems to have worked.

ue4 float negatives end after 0.0000007
proper raft
@latent fable congrats
static viper
you cant go lower
steep rampart
so im trying to use that equasion to change the speed depending on the distance to the player
static viper
it will auto turn into 0.
steep rampart
and i was asking how to do that in UE
static viper
there is an issue tho
zinc rivet
is it like an auto-snapping thing? @static viper
static viper
you dont know the max distance
steep rampart
?
static viper
you only know: distance

you could just make a curve maybe - if you did have a max in mind
