phew, that was hard work. my city wall was made out of VictoryISM's, four of them, built out of 300 static meshes. i had to extract all the transforms out of them into a text file, make an actor i called 'wallbuilder' that would take that text file and build that wall with standard static mesh components.... then position two of the wallbuilders in the exact same position as the victoryISMs, delete the victoryISMs, and then i could right click the builders and go 'merge actors'... finally, two hours later... giving me ONE large mesh of the city wall, 31K polygons. i'm well proud of that.

#

and all that work was STILL cheaper than redoing the entire wall from scratch.

@placid arrow did you keep a copy of the meshes you merged in case you need to add to it or move some parts ?

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 3:22 PM

#

Can i save current level as blueprint prefab?

#

Like i have some brushes and props

crimson junco Sep 13, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

Anyone from Germany?

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 3:23 PM

#

The brushes are merged, but i want to keep props separated so i can modulary remove or add some

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 3:28 PM

Hey good morning I wanted to ask a question. in UE4 how do you go about dividing and conquer in small classes? You know for example in Unity you can have PlayerInput.cs | PlayerController.cs | WeaponSystem.cs | InventorySystem.cs | etc..

How do you make this separation here in UE4?

light coyote Sep 13, 2019, 3:28 PM

#

@midnight bolt
You can merge things.
Look up on google ue4 merge fbx

grim ore Sep 13, 2019, 3:29 PM

#

@ornate ice if you want to be that granular and you have a plan to actually need to re use those items you can look into actor components. There is a Player Controller already used for pawns and characters as well that input passes thru.

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 3:31 PM

#

yeah that one is the one I'm using

#

but is UE4 architecture to have everything in 1 BP?

grim ore Sep 13, 2019, 3:32 PM

#

depends on what you mean by everything

#

input can go in the player controller or the item being controlled. Inventory can go in the player if it's part of the player or separate if it lives in the game world for example or a re usable actor component. etc.

#

weapons can just be actor blueprints that exist in the world and can handle their own controls when you just tell them to do something for example

midnight sparrow Sep 13, 2019, 3:33 PM

Hi, im unable to package my oculus game due to an error "NDK r18c not supported; please use NDK r14b to NDK r18b (NDK r14b recommended)"
Any idea what might be going on?

grim ore Sep 13, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

have you tried installing the NDK that comes with UE4?

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

@light coyote i have already merged the geometry of the prefab building. now things like corrugated metal i want to have modular - so from a full prefab, i could possibly remove those. if i merge it all, i won't be able to modify it anymore, and i think the lightmap res will have to be very high

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 3:34 PM

#

@grim ore thanks for the answer, yeah I think UE4 is more of having all that relates specifically and only for the user on the same BP

#

what bothers me, is that everything requires variables for example

midnight sparrow Sep 13, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

@grim ore Which one do you mean? i installed nvidia codeworks

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

and with a granular separation, you can have the inventory specifics in the inventory class

#

while if you have all that in the player controller

#

you will have this mix of User Input, Weapon System, Inventory

grim ore Sep 13, 2019, 3:35 PM

#

yes did you install one from the internet or the one that came with your engine install? https://i.imgur.com/dnbiWKX.png

severe ibex Sep 13, 2019, 3:39 PM

@unborn folio Mixer is okay, good if you want exactly what it makes, fancy textures that tile within 1x1M or so.

#

bet it's super powerful if you get good wioth it.

unborn folio Sep 13, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

what about the other quixel products

severe ibex Sep 13, 2019, 3:39 PM

#

with*

#

Bridge is great, really handy way to manage and import materials or assets into UE4 or other packages

#

but TBH the subscription costs are a bit shit unless you're using them constantly

light coyote Sep 13, 2019, 3:42 PM

#

@midnight bolt
Yes sorry,, you only merge definitive things.
Do maybe you can build a section of something,, and then you can pieces that can use for larger things.
What could help on what you want maybe is making folders.
You can select a full folder i belive, but they are still separate pieces

scarlet birch Sep 13, 2019, 3:51 PM

#

@ornate ice I think you might have a mistaken impression of things. You need a bit more breadth of knowledge about the tools and techniques UE has to be able to have an accurate understanding of how those things can be approached in various ways. I know that's a bit of a word salad, but you can approach most things from an array of different design paradigms or mix and mash them. Knowing the tools UE has a bit more, I think, would change your assessment.

#

You also may be looking at examples or tutorials that do things one way, when that is not likely"The one and only way" or even the way most would use.

#

"PlayerInput.cs | PlayerController.cs | WeaponSystem.cs | InventorySystem.cs | " Where in Unity you might write an input script, in UE you will mostly handle input in the PlayerController and define input bindings in project settings. Weapons and Inventory can be approached in many ways. Actor Components are very similar to Unity scripts and can be placed on another BP. I've done weapon and inventory systems using those and without using them.

unborn folio Sep 13, 2019, 4:01 PM

#

can anyone help me or explain how i can get night time and rain weather

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 4:03 PM

#

@scarlet birch interesting I'll try to learn more about the tools and techniques to have a better understandment of how the UE4 environment works

#

but at least knowing that actors can be used on another BP

#

give me a bit of an idea

scarlet birch Sep 13, 2019, 4:04 PM

#

You can definitely separate things out as you are describing. A lot of tutorials do things in one BP just for speed , or to avoid covering additional things, or they just don't know better.

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 4:05 PM

#

I like code separation and clarity, you know the principle of single responsability

#

yeah that makes sense

#

most of tutorials always goes like

#

"I'm gonna do this to not overcomplicate stuff" or something like ithat

#

and there you know

#

thats not the right thing

#

hahahaha

#

I'm trying to learn UE4 the right way or the best way possible

grim ore Sep 13, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

no one uses it the right or best way, they all just use it how it works for them 🙂

scarlet birch Sep 13, 2019, 4:10 PM

#

I think in February I'll hit the 2 year mark with using UE. One of the things that drove me nuts when I first started looking at tutorials and breakdowns was everything was done on the player character it seemed. It took a while to find examples using the player controller and covering things like GameMode , Game Instance, GameState

placid arrow Sep 13, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

@inner cloak yes and the "wall generator" blueprint

misty scarab Sep 13, 2019, 4:14 PM

#

I mean you can use the wire thing to make an entire game

#

You just need to put less work but it's much easier making stuff than hand coding causing cramps

#

Win win

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 4:24 PM

#

@grim ore @scarlet birch that makes sense

#

@scarlet birch you are right jajaja thats what drive nuts too.

#

just gotta keep studying the engine

scarlet birch Sep 13, 2019, 4:25 PM

#

I'm the same way. I want everything separated out, clearly defined and easy to manage. Most of the stuff you see is definitely not that.

ornate ice Sep 13, 2019, 4:39 PM

#

exactly

#

jajaja

#

I'm a regular Backend Developer in my daily job, so you know I come here to UE4 to try to apply what I know from the standards I'm used to.

ember notch Sep 13, 2019, 4:42 PM

#

I heard if I learn C++ that I can better Blueprints is that right?

cloud cobalt Sep 13, 2019, 4:46 PM

#

C++ and Blueprint are different tools for different tasks

placid arrow Sep 13, 2019, 4:48 PM

#

@ornate ice components are the way forward if you want to separate stuff out. For example in your player controller you can have a character movement component

#

Which does 99% of the movement handling for you and you just need to pass it velocities from the key binding events

#

Also beware of child actor components... They have some oddball issues still in 2019

i'm still looking for tool/plugin to rotate selected actors by like 90 degreres. sometome linked to UE video with using bluetility, but its not available for 4.21. please help :( can be paid plugin as well

placid arrow Sep 13, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

@midnight bolt tried grouping them first?

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

parenting? yes, it will rotate them by whole 90, while i need each actor +90 separatly

placid arrow Sep 13, 2019, 4:57 PM

#

No, group actor

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 4:58 PM

i did not. i'm not sure whhow to do that

placid arrow Sep 13, 2019, 4:58 PM

#

I usually have the opposite problem that I want to do what you don't want to do, and what you want to do happens

#

Right click a set of selected actors and choose group

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

@placid arrow yes i just did

#

i can't simply add +90

midnight sparrow Sep 13, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

@grim ore Tour advice solved my issue, thanks

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 5:02 PM

it will set them all to 90

i want to add +90 to whatever existing value there is

Cool atleast something, thanks

midnight bolt Sep 13, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

it's so strange that there are no built in tools for such a simple operation, add X to rotation of selected actors <_<

placid arrow Sep 13, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

How big is your project?

grim ore Sep 13, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

use the new editor utility widget to create that tool. Get selected actors, loop thru them, add local rotation, finish

placid arrow Sep 13, 2019, 5:11 PM

#

The thing that bugs me ATM is the engine doing things at runtime during editing which it shouldn't, that should be done at cook, e.g. "baking landscape textures", "building navigation"... Grr.

#

That combined with auto save is pain

midnight sparrow Sep 13, 2019, 5:12 PM

@placid arrow 20GBs if you were asking me

turn off auto save if its annoying

I decreased that to 60 mins, the default of 10 was a pee take

If a timer by event is set to an interval that is less than the current tick rate, does it get called multiple times on a tick to catch up? I assumed this was not the case, but I'm having a problem that makes me unsure. If this is the case is there a better method to use for things that need to be enabled / disabled but when enabled need to be called once every tick?

#

Unless someone chimes in otherwise I think it does catch up and run extra times if it is set to an interval shorter than the current tick rate

Yeah, it only happens when I have the ad plugin enabled. I don't have the full log now, but I went through it and there were no errors in any other parts.

to explain the problem, it's not my code

the add plugin?.... is that enabled by default?

btw, I ahve this problem only with my music sound class

all my other sound classes work fine.. I think

it's somehow surreal

like a bug

Does epic have a video series on creating walk cycles specifically intended for blend spaces? I thought I understood how to do it but when my character walks backwards problems arise. The front 180 degree blending is excellent but once I start walking anything other than straight backwards the animations don't blend well

#

I have the content example pulled up next to my own project and I've been going back and forth trying to see what I'm doing wrong but I can't figure it out. At this point I think that my animations themselves are the problem but I don't know what I'm doing wrong

random question while im just thinking about it, lets say i have a game that has something like stats or items or something for a player. if i wanted to store that data on a database somewhere what would be a fairly secure way of doing it and accessing that data? my thought was to go from the client/game, pass information about the user such as their steam ID to a web server, then have the webserver make a request via a sql procedure that goes through the database and returns whatever crap it gets for that player (assuming it found the player in the DB) and then return the information to the webserver, then to the client/game?

If its a component that means you probably have to put it in the bluprint of the player pawn, or maybe controller...
Players use instsnces.
So.. they are temporary copys of each thing that are generated while game plays.
Ex.. Cowboy_001

#

Same as you have the character mesh, or camera,,, a component goes there,,, you will see it on the top left, ,, add component

#

So an instance of the player Cowboy_005
May consist of, camera_143
Cowboymesh_412
Etc..

Ok, I'm looking for a way to 'smooth' an axial input. So that when it jumps from 0 to 1 when pressing and holding a movement key, it gradually ramps up from 0 to 1.

#

Or is there a more efficient way?

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 6:38 AM

@fringe drift
You can use a lerp
Linear interpolation
Wich will provide a constant transition from A to B

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 6:40 AM

#

I tried Lerp, but I could not get it to work. Doing a printscreen off of the Lerp output shows it instantly flipping between 0 and 1. I think the alpha input of Lerp needs to...have something done to it?

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 6:40 AM

#

They are few lerp types that exist, you just need to feed it the begining state, and end state whith whatever means you use to get the information.

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 6:41 AM

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 6:41 AM

You need a timeline

#

Right click
Create timeline
Name it
Doubble click it to oppen it in a tab
Create a float track, name it Alpha, or Percentage
Right click inside timeline, and add keyframe
With that newly keyframe selected, top left of viewport,, set time to 0, and value to 0
Create another keyframe, and set time to 1, value to 1
Top you will see timeline length,, its 5 by default,, set it to 1,, wich is your last keyframe time

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 6:47 AM

Ok

#

Listen one sec

#

What this thing you created does is

#

Is like an event tick for only the duration of it.
So you have the features of an event tick to call whenever you want, for the duration you set it to.
When you call play timeline. Update is your tick.

#

It will last for the lenght you set it to

#

And the way you setted it
It will give you a float that goes from 0 to 1 in one sec

#

The float output you created in the timeline is fed to the lerp

#

And the resoult of that lerp is fed to whatever you are setting, after the update output

#

So.. ex...
Start position
End position

After the update you will be seting the position of whatever is in between those two.
And that is defined by the alpha

#

0.5 Alpha will be half way of those two positions

#

Setting it every tick will smothly transition between them

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 6:57 AM

#

The timeline's 'percentage' output goes to the 'alpha' input of Lerp?

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 6:59 AM

#

Yes

#

Can be tricky to get

#

But understanding lerp and timeline well will allow you to know their usefullness

#

Timeline can be very very usefull

#

Lerp without updating is just setting between A and B, to whatever alpha you give it

#

Alpha beeing 1 is just B
Alpha beeing 0 is just A

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 7:02 AM

#

Yeah, I noticed that, when I tried an alpha of 1 and 0.5 just to see what would happen.

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 7:06 AM

#

Think of the alpha as a percentage between A and B.
As it is a percentage, is linear by nature

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 7:06 AM

#

If I understand correctly, I need the timeline to start when I press & hold the movement key, then ramp up from 0 to 1. This probably shouldn't be executed to an input axis, it probably needs event tick, yes?

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 7:06 AM

#

You can make it non linear in relation to time, with the timeline

#

You can do loads of stuff with timelines

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 7:07 AM

#

(This is my fourth day using UE4, this is all so new & amazing to me 😄 )

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 7:08 AM

#

Omg, this may be a lot at start

#

But good

#

The more headbangs against the wall, the better

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

Is it a bad idea to have a whole bunch of stuff tied to event tick?

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 7:09 AM

#

Update output from timeline is like an event tick.
But for the length of the timeline

ripe saffron Sep 14, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

just a note that you only need to fire your timeline once every time you need it .... you dont want or need to keep firing on tick

mint sequoia Sep 14, 2019, 7:10 AM

#

@light coyote You don't need to resort to timelines for a non-linear lerp, there is already an 'ease' function which is exactly that

#

    /** Easeing  between A and B using a specified easing function */
    UFUNCTION(BlueprintPure, meta = (DisplayName = "Ease", BlueprintInternalUseOnly = "true"), Category = "Math|Interpolation")
    static float Ease(float A, float B, float Alpha, TEnumAsByte<EEasingFunc::Type> EasingFunc, float BlendExp = 2, int32 Steps = 2);

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 7:12 AM

#

@fringe drift
Yes, event tick is bad,, they are calculations each frame.
That means that the frame image will not be rendered to screen untill it finishes all tick related stuff.
Event tivk means,, do all this before you make the image to be displayed on the screen.

#

If its not absolutely necesary to do every frame, is never done.
Frame rate goes down the more things have to be calculated, for the reasons i mentioned.

#

@mint sequoia
Cool man, you write all the nomenclature you dont have to write if you use bluprints.

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 7:16 AM

#

My event tick (for my flying pawn spaceship-deceleration) does have a lot of nodes. I'm wondering if it's necessary or wise to put my acceleration code in there too.

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 7:18 AM

#

@fringe drift
Play with the timeline.
You have a straight line in it.
You can edit it and curve it to give you acceleration.
That means the output alpha will behave in an acceleration way.

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 7:19 AM

#

My 'input axis' executes 'add force', so I already have linear acceleration. I just want to mimic the engine taking a moment to go from zero to full throttle.

light coyote Sep 14, 2019, 7:19 AM

#

That is what i meant before.
Percentage is linear by nature.
But making the percentage change in a non linear way with resprct to time(tick), will provide you wiyh that behaviour.

#

I have to go now,, play with stuff.
Dont be affraid to break anything.

fringe drift Sep 14, 2019, 7:21 AM

I want to delete an actor after it hits something (like a bullet). How do I delete it?

#

I'm using DestroyActor.

#

But it doesn't seem to be working.

#

Also, the thing that is getting hit isn't taking damage.

half yoke Sep 14, 2019, 8:42 AM

#

Do you use apply/receive damage after physic detected the hit?

honest ermine Sep 14, 2019, 8:42 AM

#

Yeah

half yoke Sep 14, 2019, 8:43 AM

#

Is the receive event being triggered?

#

Calling Destroy on an actor is the correct way to Destroy it

honest ermine Sep 14, 2019, 8:46 AM

half yoke Sep 14, 2019, 8:50 AM

And what is the thing not working? Everything seems to be fine

#

Your bullet is not destroyed? Put a print string after your EvilSphere cast to check that this part of the code is triggered

if i want to procedurally generate an interior with a modular asset pack whats the best workflow? tools etc?

honest ermine Sep 14, 2019, 8:52 AM

The bullet is not destroyed when it hits the evil sphere, and the evil sphere doesn't take damage.

half yoke Sep 14, 2019, 8:53 AM

#

Ok, are you sure the overlap event is being called? Did you properly setup physic collision for your two actors?

honest ermine Sep 14, 2019, 8:55 AM

#

Now I'm suddenly less sure.

half yoke Sep 14, 2019, 8:58 AM

#

You need to check if they are setup to overlap, and with what kind of object they are set to overlap, and then finally check that the two have a compatible setting making them detecting each other on overlap :) I suggest to put a print string in your event begin overlap to see if it's triggered or not

misty scarab Sep 14, 2019, 8:58 AM

Damn

#

Welp

honest ermine Sep 14, 2019, 9:00 AM

@half yoke I put a string to output. Nothing is outputting.

#

I don't understand. I set up another collision the exact same way, without any problems...

half yoke Sep 14, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

You may have missed something. What are the physic settings of both?

Where do I check that?

@honest ermine not on my computer right now to make a screen but basically in your blueprint, whatever collision component you are using will have a physic section with "Enable component overlap" etc

radiant haven Sep 14, 2019, 9:34 AM

I am a bit confused, I use the TP Template and when I create a new level and play then I dont spawn as the character rather I spawn like the default/empty template

@half yoke

half yoke Sep 14, 2019, 9:49 AM

#

Ok so in Collision you should expand Collision preset. I'm not sure BlockAllDynamics is what you want @honest ermine

#

Look for something like "OverlapAllDynamics" and set the same setting on your Bullet actor

#

And really take a close look at this documentation which explains all this stuff: https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Physics/Collision/Overview/index.html

Collision Overview

An overview of how Collision and Collision Responses operate in Unreal Engine 4.

lots of example on usual settings you would typically use in a project etc

Can't believe how much effort it was to make a spline do this 😐 https://i.drowningdragons.io/aP71tBepB.gif

dim arch Sep 14, 2019, 10:32 AM

#

shouldnt be too hard if its on a circulat shape

mint sequoia Sep 14, 2019, 10:34 AM

#

@dim arch The difficulty was in computing the tangents

#

3+ points = as perfect a circle as a spline can be (they can't be perfect circles)

#

Even 2 was.. acceptable-ish, depending

#

Try it if you want a challenge 😄

#

Didn't even have answers on forums/answerhub that had arbitrary points

dim arch Sep 14, 2019, 10:35 AM

#

ah yeah the tangents could be tricky

#

you can distribute the points using cos/sin functions

mint sequoia Sep 14, 2019, 10:36 AM

#

That's what I did in the end

#

I'm gonna put it up on git so everyone can have the solution

#

Coz there was literally nothing

dim arch Sep 14, 2019, 10:36 AM

#

but I guess the smooth spline point doesnt have the correct tangent

#

yea I wouldnt mind chekcing it out

mint sequoia Sep 14, 2019, 10:37 AM

#

It's a single function, I'll post it here now if you're curious

#

void UHCircleSplineComponent::ConstructCircleSpline()
{
    // Remove existing points
    ClearSplinePoints(true);

    SplinePointTangent Circle;  // TMap<FVector, FVector>

    const float TangentLength = (4 / 3) * FMath::Tan(PI / (2.f * NumCirclePoints)) * Radius;

    for (int32 i = 0; i < NumCirclePoints; i++)
    {
        float sin = 0.f;
        float cos = 0.f;
        FMath::SinCos(&sin, &cos, 2.f * PI * i / ((float)NumCirclePoints));

        const FVector Loc = FVector(cos * Radius, sin * Radius, 0.f) * 0.5f;
        const FVector Tangent = FVector(sin, -cos, 0.f) * TangentLength * -2.f;

        Circle.Add(Loc, Tangent);
    }

    // Add them to the spline
    for (TPair<FVector, FVector>& Point : Circle)
    {
        AddSplinePoint(Point.Key, ESplineCoordinateSpace::Local, false);
        SetTangentAtSplinePoint(GetNumberOfSplinePoints() - 1, Point.Value, ESplineCoordinateSpace::Local, false);
    }

    UpdateSpline();
}

@dim arch I just edited it, forgot to put radius in tangent length

dim arch Sep 14, 2019, 10:41 AM

to be fair that stuff was made around UE4.0 so the engine was missing a lot of code which he had to put in

mint sequoia Sep 14, 2019, 10:41 AM

Rama preaches a lot of bad practices (IsValidLowLevel being the classic example)

#

In all my years in UE4 I have only ever once needed to use that

placid arrow Sep 14, 2019, 10:42 AM

#

yeah, everything that was in there i could do myself now either due to more knowledge or the engine directly supporting it

#

whats "IsValidLowLevel"?

#

a null check?

mint sequoia Sep 14, 2019, 10:42 AM

#

Rama is slightly infamous for telling everyone to use it instead of IsValid()

#

And for years we saw lots of new users actively using it and had to correct them

#

It's an absolutely unnecessary and not-so-cheap version

placid arrow Sep 14, 2019, 10:44 AM

i was using it for its instancing stuff

#

4.22 and upwards automatically instance duplicate meshes, which is really nice

#

it really did put its claws into the editor quite deep though

#

the plugin, i mean

#

going from 4.12 to 4.22 made me take out the editor frontend for it, which made it somewhat useless to start with, going to 4.23 has made me just say 'sod it' and take out the rest

@dim arch This is what I used my spline circles for, making orbiting 3D clouds (that care about their WS position for the shader).. this wouldn't care about # of points but also using it for spline meshes which does 🙂 https://i.drowningdragons.io/JOBBccAFr.gif

Basically an actor that you can attach anything in the level to and it makes it orbit

I have a weird performance issue. I'm creating a lot of UProceduralMeshComponent, and it slows my framerate down to like 5fps. However, if I select my single light source and change its location by any amount while running, the framerate shoots up to 60fps and everything runs great from then on.

same situation with windows 10

It's so buggy I even managed to report a bug and it's fixed already

hey guys another beginner question here:
when i create c++ classes of type "None" they aren't shown in content browser
other types like gamemode,character,pawn,.... are fine and i can see them with no problem
any idea?

mossy nymph Sep 14, 2019, 1:25 PM

#

i never upgrade versions before people here stop complaining 😄

#

they are not derived from UObject

#

so there is no point showing them in editor

#

as you can literally do nothing with them

silk lantern Sep 14, 2019, 1:27 PM

#

so the only way to access them is from my IDE (visual studio,....) and widnows explorer?

You would need to learn the API that UE4 uses as well as it's build system and the use of it's MACRO system that it uses for code

grim ore Sep 14, 2019, 5:58 PM

did you test it on device directly, launching from the editor or pushing the APK, or are you trying to download it from the play store?

it should definitely run on a 7.0 device if the GPU is supported

is it possible to put these "brushes" which are like cubes but which can be extruded and edited in the viewport inside a blueprint? (like a brush component, I guess?)

grim ore Sep 14, 2019, 6:19 PM

@radiant haven then your issue is how you set it up in the play store, not something on the UE4 end if the APK runs and installs.

@glacial pecan not unless you convert it to a static mesh first

you have to add an explicit call or you have to add an parameterless parent constructor

tienes que agregar una llamada explícita o tienes que agregar un constructor padre sin parámetros

example

class Square : Shape{
public Square(int arg) : base(arg)
{ }
}

Why does my C++ subclass need an explicit constructor?

I have a base class that declares and defines a constructor, but for some reason my publicly derived class is not seeing that constructor, and I therefore have to explicitly declare a forwarding

is anyone here working on the Face AR stuff in ue4? I need to brainstorm with someone who has had success already with it. I think 4.22 and 4.23 broke something

Does anyone here have any experience with Photon, Gamesparks or SpatialOS. If you have what is the limitations of them?

#

Guys how do you learned C++ or Blueprints?

dim plover Sep 14, 2019, 10:20 PM

#

I think typically, and I would suggest this, people learn BPs first to accustom themselves to UE4. And then implementing their BPs in C++.

how can i get the location where an actor entered a trigger

plush yew Sep 14, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

print its location at same time it enters trigger by using get actor loc

#

i dunno

spark sonnet Sep 14, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

Get the actor location?

plush yew Sep 14, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

maybe he means relative to the trigger location

sorry shoulda been more clear

Break the sweep result on the event. But, I seem to remember there's an issue with a hit not actually being created.

kind dew Sep 14, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

hmm okay i always wondered what a sweep was

plush yew Sep 14, 2019, 10:39 PM

yeah break result is super handy

Hey anybody knows how to stop movement while animation is playing (on a state machine) can only be done with the Event On State Enter, Exit Fields?

mossy nymph Sep 14, 2019, 10:48 PM

#

stopping movement has nothing to do with animation

#

animations usually just react to velocity

#

and your movement should be working just fine just hovering in a T pose

ornate ice Sep 14, 2019, 11:07 PM

#

The problem is that the animation playing

#

Is a falling from height

scarlet birch Sep 14, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

Normally animation is driven by changes in the character. Not vice versa.

ornate ice Sep 14, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

So it looks terrible if you can move while on the ground

scarlet birch Sep 14, 2019, 11:08 PM

#

Stop the motion using the same criteria as whatever allows the animation to play

ornate ice Sep 14, 2019, 11:09 PM

#

I'm using it

#

But one of the criteria to move is that the char is on the ground

#

But when you play the landing animation you are grounded

#

So you can move while you are on your knees jajaja

scarlet birch Sep 14, 2019, 11:11 PM

#

I'd likely set a transition rule that let it exit the landing animation if it was not falling and velocity was greater than some low value

#

either that or delay enabling motion long enough for the animation to finish

ornate ice Sep 14, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

Yeah I was thinking on having an event OnLandingStart and call a function there to set ableToMove to false

scarlet birch Sep 14, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

Have you looked at the animationBPs in the paragon character assets?

ornate ice Sep 14, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

Or to call disable movement node

#

No I've never seen those

scarlet birch Sep 14, 2019, 11:13 PM

#

Those have some good concepts in them, even if some things have been left out

#

You should add them to a project and take a look

ornate ice Sep 14, 2019, 11:14 PM

#

I will

#

That's a good recommendation

earnest cape Sep 14, 2019, 11:23 PM

#

How do you set crouched half height of the character capsule during runtime? All I see is get half height

#

Nvm it's in the capsule instead???? WHY

obtuse nest Sep 14, 2019, 11:33 PM

#

can someone explain the concept of what a master material is for in unreal?

#

please!

kind dew Sep 15, 2019, 12:05 AM

#

master materials are like classes. You may have a character Blueprint class called "Character". Then you make a child class and call it the "Player" and maybe another one and call it "Enemy". So they inherit from the base class that you made but you can add your own functionality to them. Same thing for master materials. Material instances are just the child of the master

scarlet birch Sep 15, 2019, 12:14 AM

#

@obtuse nest Parameters created in the master material can be changed in child instances, dynamic instances at runtime, or driven by material parameter collections that affect all instances. It lets you modify materials on the fly and at runtime without recompiling the material.

#

Spent 3 days working on a mechanic. Thought I was done. My 3 year old just sat down at my desk picked up the controller and found a bug/exploit in 2 minutes because she wanted the character to jump higher.

#

It's fixed, but man every game should have a 3 year old try and break it before it's released.

shy silo Sep 15, 2019, 12:26 AM

I bet 3yr olds are masters at finding bugs

#

does anyone know if there is a tool to migrate functions/variables between blueprint classes?

chilly crag Sep 15, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

i hope it helps https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/180405/how-to-move-a-blueprint-function-to-another-bluepr.html

rotund scroll Sep 15, 2019, 12:46 AM

#

yeah I mean that's just brute forcing it

#

I was hoping there'd be a better option out there, like a plugin

chilly crag Sep 15, 2019, 12:52 AM

#

at first i thought making parent and child blueprint was a way to organise function import
like in the parent i create a function and in all the child the function is now available
nope -_-

#

thought there was at least a way to declare a public variable i could call => nope
thought i could maybe do without c++ just to add a volume slider => nope

#

i have still a lot to learn in unreal and in c++ 😂

#

i see now each blueprint has independent instance in the same program
i can't call between them and can't interact with them >_> maybe i'm at a dead end for the blueprint part =/

scarlet birch Sep 15, 2019, 1:09 AM

#

You should be able to call a function from a parent BP in the child if the access modifier is right.

📎 unknown.png

#

You need an instance to access a variable, public or not. If you do have a reference to an instance then you can access it if its access allows it.

#

You can also do a volume slider purely in BP.

chilly crag Sep 15, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

oh my

#

i looked everywhere for an entire week for that

scarlet birch Sep 15, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

Mathew Wadstein's WTF series has a great video (and the files are on git) that goes over the options menu stuff entirely in BP

chilly crag Sep 15, 2019, 1:12 AM

#

thanks a lot i'm going to check it out

#

@rotund scroll Mike Slivinski Gave the solution 🙂 and gave me the answer too at the same time 😄

rotund scroll Sep 15, 2019, 1:16 AM

#

huh?

#

I was looking for something that would let me move functions between blueprints that wouldn't require me to redo function variables

#

this sadly does nothing for me

scarlet birch Sep 15, 2019, 1:30 AM

#

You just right click the variable after you paste it and it will give you the option to add it to the BP.

#

If you're copying functions a lot from one BP to the other I'd rethink the approach and consider either a macro or function library.

coral shoal Sep 15, 2019, 1:35 AM

#

Kind of a weird issue, if i try to rescale a brush actor with SetActorScale3D it doesnt actually scale the geometry. It moves the "outline" in the level editor but nothing else.

rotund scroll Sep 15, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

@scarlet birch I'm refactoring

#

I know you can just create new variables, but it's a lot of work when you have many of them, plus local vars in functions etc.

scarlet birch Sep 15, 2019, 1:52 AM

#

I see

rustic panther Sep 15, 2019, 1:58 AM

#

anyone have any idea why BL3 runs so poorly

ornate ice Sep 15, 2019, 1:59 AM

#

hey @scarlet birch do you know how to smoth out a transition between 2 animations?

scarlet birch Sep 15, 2019, 2:01 AM

#

Yes. I mean it depends on how well they blend together for the most part. You can play with the blend times, and other stuff in the details panel.

ornate ice Sep 15, 2019, 2:01 AM

want to see whats my problem?

Look at how they did Phase in paragon

#

It's broke up into a jump loop, a preland and a land

#

I'm not sure if they actually did that in the animBp but I know the animations for blending it that way are there

rotund scroll Sep 15, 2019, 2:07 AM

#

the default animbp has a similar example

ornate ice Sep 15, 2019, 2:08 AM

#

ok I'll go check out those

rotund scroll Sep 15, 2019, 2:09 AM

#

you can also use something like get animation progress percentage and cut it off when it's 90% finished

ornate ice Sep 15, 2019, 2:23 AM

#

got it fixed

#

changed the start position

#

of the animation 0.2

#

that worked like a charm

Anyone ever deal with the editor being darker than the gameplay? I just opened my project and it wasn't being lite by any light.

#

I tried recapturing button inside skylight. Then tried every Build Lighting...nothing worked so far.

I got all these animations in the same folder

@carmine spruce they are probably not bound to the same skeleton asset as the animation bp

@mighty field how do I switch the skeleton correctly

to the one that the animations in the asset browser are already using

You need to retarget the animations, look it up in the docs

rotund scroll Sep 15, 2019, 3:41 AM

#

@modern sinew static objects use their respective pivots as f/r/u vectors

carmine spruce Sep 15, 2019, 3:42 AM

but why arent they really similar?

Does anyone know how to lock a third person camera to the main player character with the mouse? Like any other game does. I find guides on how to do it but it messed up everything lol

mighty field Sep 15, 2019, 3:43 AM

#

When you import a skinned model, it asks if you want to create an skeleton asset or use an existing one.if you create a new one the animations will only work with that asset

#

Being similar doesn't cut it

carmine spruce Sep 15, 2019, 3:43 AM

#

but these are the animations from animation starter pack

#

Oh I see, the skeleton is using another retargeted skeleton animations

mighty field Sep 15, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

Anim bps are also skeleton specific

carmine spruce Sep 15, 2019, 3:44 AM

#

but can I Retarget the animation starter pack animations to this retargeted skeleton as well?
