I can't really suggest what to do because I don't have all your code or flow. Figure out what you are trying to do and see who has to handle it. If it's killing something that is overlapping then have your client or the server, you can check to see which is calling the event (both will), and have the server destroy itself. this should replicate to the client and destroy it as well
#ue4-general
grim ore
you can technically have the server and client destroy themselves as well i just dont know what would happen lol. Basically skip all of that authority check and just tell the overlapped item to call it's death event and that should fire on both (the server should kill itself and the client should kill itself, the server killing itself should replicate to all clients as well so everyone else knows)
copper flicker
@grim ore so I get selected assets and I run a for loop.... but I don't know how to access the asset attributes.. like Material Slots
is it via casting?... cuz all my casting fails
grim ore
yep I just tested with a simple destroy actor on the overlapped actor (the player running into a bp with a box collision and that overlap told it to destroy the player) and it worked as expected with a listen or dedicated server

what did you do?

I have my own character with lost of animations, but I dont know much about animation bps and such. Does anyone know a really good tutorial which shows most of this?
I've seen a couple but nothing that really takes on what I want now
honest rune
theres a couple massive live streams from epic on the UE4 channels (youtube, twitch) all about the animation system
grim ore
@copper flicker https://i.imgur.com/cNhgdzy.png , then selected 3 meshes in my browser and clicked my button and it changed the material in slot 0 to the one I chose. You also might want to turn on the editor scripting utilities plugin if you want access to more nodes
grim ore
@open eagle all I did is plug a Destroy Actor node into my On Component Begin Overlap (Box) node and plug in the Other Actor. If you wanted to call an event on it you could just cast and call your event. I think you might be overthinking this if all you wanted to do was destroy whatever overlapped it on the server and clients.
Mouse over the item in the content browser and look past the name at the () part, it has the class type to cast to. In this case (Static Mesh)

is there a way to mute all sound when in PIE?

click the drop down for the play button, go to advanced settings, then uncheck Enable Game Sound
grim ore
weird like play sound nodes are still playing?
lusty carbon
yeah
grim ore
eep.. works here 😦
doesn't work in standalone but mutes it in the other PIE and PIE in window options
I mean I guess the other option is to just mute the editor but then you can't test sounds in the editor either lol
open eagle
@grim ore it still repeats
crude vessel
HUmm... change folder color.... exit the program, reload the program, folder color reset to gray...
copper flicker
@grim ore uhm.. how do you know what to cast to? and what should I cast to access collision.. and set collision profile name?
I don't think it still works with casting to StaticMesh

Why is it moving the character file breaks the map? Shouldn't the redirectors keep that from breaking?

How would I make my character do animations and stuff when it hits a KillZ volume

I want to delay the destruction of my character

not sure but I think you shouldn't use kill z for that

how did the ShooterGame do it?
copper flicker
destroy your character with custom objects that you can customize.. as you want

no idea

I currently have a Death Event in my character blueprint that does everything I need
Its a multicast event
So it's authority-only
crude vessel
Well I had the map unloaded, and when I moved the character files, I got an error from the level blueprint, so I load the level, and the characters have disappeared from the level
copper flicker
xz, yo can use a pain volume to start damaging your player before it reaches kill-z
or anything..
the idea is that once it reaches killz, that's not a volume, I don't think it has a delay or gradient
it's a safety setting, to make sure players can't fall forever
visual belfry
I think it just sends a specific damage type via that system so you can intercept it
But I don't have unreal open to verify that

I'm trying to find a way in blueprints to select an asset based on dynamic string matching the asset name
This way I can prefix all my flipbooks for each character with that character's name, and then the rest of the flipbook name is the animation for that character, e.g. Alex_WalkRight, Alex_Attack, etc.
I think I'm going the wrong way with this:
All that does is give me a bunch of strings, but no flipbook reference
I need to get a flipbook reference
based on an input string
that is dynamically determined

what if you don't split the struct, are there functions on the struct type?

Hey guys. I'm setting up a git version control for our project and using github as our remote. I've succesfully uploaded the project from my computer(windows) to a github repo, however when I clone it down on our Mac, when I open the project and try and enable source control on it, I get the error that I need to first initialize the project as a git repository. However doing "git -init" inside the project folder doesn't change anything
I've tried cloning using the github desktop app and also command line cloning. Same result
(and the Github client recognizes the folder as repo)

i'm trying to find a solution to prevent bullet holes on the edge of the vehicle panels interfering with other panels like door etc. normally i just assign random stencil and stencil mask to prevent different static meshes getting decals from each other. But couldn't find a practical solution for skeletal meshes. only solution so far is putting every panel in a separate static mesh which is gonna be real messy considering each car having 20 or so panels. And not sure if this solution would have an impact or the performance or not. Anyone have an idea for this??

Hey everyone I need a suggestion from you.
I'm working on a project on UE 4.22 but 4.22 has a lots of issues which is affecting my game. I am thinking about recreating this project in 4.20 which seems a lot better, less bugs. The project still in it's early stage so shifting would be easy now (may take max of 1 week), But as the development moves forward it'll get almost impossible to shift to an older version.
What's your opinion? Should I Shift?

@wary wave lets not talk about @ everyone stuff

Does anyone knows would there be any performance hit for using 20 static mesh components instead one skeletal mesh? it seems that might be the only solution.

You'll very likely need to move forward at some point anyway
fallen goblet
one more question as you know the maps can't be migrated to an older version but does migration of a Map to a newer version always work?
cloud cobalt
Upgrading content almost never cause issues
I say almost because of the 4.8 (4.7 ?) tonemapper change
fierce tulip
unless odd blueprint and code changes.
cloud cobalt
That's the only one i remember
C++ code almost always need changes
That's a given
fierce tulip
ahh the great tonemapper change of 2015
fallen goblet
If I don't use any BP in a map (only static and skeletal mesh, sounds and fx), and what about migrating animation sequences and skeletal meshes? does they cause issues?
tame delta
Anyone here dealing with CAD models has a good idea on how to automatically (hopefully just a fire and forget thing, or minimal labor) optimize a scene? This scene that I had often goes above 10k drawcalls and 20M rasterized triangles
I kind of liked the idea of using proxy meshes (voxelizing the scene helps deal with a lot of hidden smaller details that just merging an actor and LODing doesn't do), but it seems to just create a new asset for me somewhere, without placing/replacing it in the world
But perhaps HLOD is a better way? I've no idea tbh
fierce tulip
@fallen goblet moving that to a newer version is generally fine
fallen goblet
OK, Thanks @fierce tulip , @cloud cobalt
pseudo swift
do you guys also sometimes get this bug? sometimes I can view my meshes just fine and sometimes this editor is just zoomed out like crazy and now it even seems like I cant even see my mesh?
frail pewter
Thats because of ur mesh's size
Scale it down
If you are in blender scale down the mesh to 0.014
crude vessel
What would cause moving or renaming an asset in the editor to cause a broken link?
frail pewter
in XYZ
fierce tulip
lol 20km high mesh
frail pewter
@crude vessel what broken link?
pseudo swift
the funny thing is I exported it in default scale from blender, imported keeping the same scale, default, 1, and the mesh shows up fine in editor first time I open it
then after cloth painting
frail pewter
The Default scale is reallly large
Scale it down
if that mesh is meant to be long
scale it down using the S key
click it
and move your mouse so everytime it moves it scales it
pseudo swift
cant I just export the fbx with 0.1 instead of 1 ?
frail pewter
and scale it to a moment where you can see the mesh in blender and ue4
crude vessel
Do one of the issues I have is I'm starting a fresh version of ALS and want to make it conform to a more uniform standard based in n the ue4 style guide. So for example if I move the mannequin character blueprint to another folder it breaks all kinds of stuff.
Or if I add a prefix to a material fucntion, it breaks that link
crude vessel
I thought the editor would auto rename references?
crude vessel
Well, Evey time.i do this, it causes something to break.
fierce tulip
it should not, unless you edit names in explorer instead of CB
frail pewter
Here do one thing
crude vessel
I've tried like 5 different times, I've tried moving stuff just one file at a time.
crude vessel
Ue4 of course
I never move stuff outside the editor
Or rename
Everything is inside ue4 editor
crude vessel
Correct me if I'm wrong, after I move a file I need to right click and fix redirectors in the folder?
frail pewter
so maybe you SHOULD
pseudo swift
quick q: what should my mesh size be in the editor ?
what numbers should I am for ?
fierce tulip
@pseudo swift try a 1 meter by 1 meter mesh, and make sure its 100 units by 100 units in ue4
frail pewter
if you are and you want a mesh almost the same size as the UE4 Mannequin you should try 0.012 or 0.014
0.014 is a bit larger
than the Mannequin
pseudo swift
and then just export with fbx scale set to 1 ?
frail pewter
Yeah
fierce tulip
@crude vessel only time redirectors break is either outside of explorer, a veeeeery random small odd chance of it not working, or have multiple instances of that project open.
pseudo swift
import into ue with scale 1 ?
frail pewter
Yeah
pseudo swift
okay let me try that
frail pewter
Do not change anything when Importing
fierce tulip
if thats not the case, something is really broken
frail pewter
Let it stay the default
crude vessel
Lol, this is hilarious then. Again i'm starting with ALS, I've tried moving files, no errors but... Sound references to the animation notifies get broken. Sometimes the material function links get broken. For sure the default level load gets broken if I move the map but that may be normal. Then one time the mannequin character disappeared from the maps because I Moved the character blueprint.
I was told it's not related to source control, but I did make sure everything was checked out.
Moving folders ate my original project so now I've been trying to move the files as the first thing, and still having issues.
And it's not like it always breaks 100% of the time, obviously I've renamed and moved assets plenty of times without issue in the past.
Oh.. wait a minute... https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Basics/Redirectors/index.html This is so that packages that are not currently loaded, but reference this asset, will know where to find it in its new location. So basically I might have to go through the whole project and open all the map and assets before I clean up the redirector? humm
So it's not updating all the links for all the files in the projects I assume? only ones that are open? That at least would make some sense.
because when the mannequin broke I think I had a level loaded without the mannequin on it. I didn't notice it until I reloaded and the level script referencing the mannequin threw an error.
manic pawn
it should track which assets are referencing this one in the asset registry, allowing it to automatically load and resave all of them during cleanup
pseudo swift
okay using 00.14 in blender result in this with exp / import at scale 1
crude vessel
I might just try the ResavePackages Commandlet and see if that helps.
manic aurora
Please give me advice what should i stick here in object socket?
pseudo swift
im using meters it seems, i thought this was default, perhaps this is the issue?
crude vessel
From what I read you're suppose to use meters, but run at 0.1 scale or something.
pseudo swift
right now I exported with 00.14 as bigGeiTaj said, and its very small when doing cloth painting etc.
crude vessel
By default Blender loads with 'generic blender units' which are essentially meters, but I think it wants meters specifically. It's been a while since i messed with it.
can you export it with something else for scale as a test?
pseudo swift
sure I mean im just doing tests right now, I think maybe 0.1 might be a good scale etc.
crude vessel
@pseudo swift check this out https://www.blendernation.com/2019/09/17/ue4-mannequin-compatible-animations-and-meshes-mr-mannequins-tools-1-0/
This will load the mannequin into blender on command.
Export this and compare to the one in game and that should give you a quick way to determine if the scale is correct
free plugin
pseudo swift
checking
i mean the only thing I want is to be able to export a mesh from blender and import into ue without getting crazy scale issues
when exporting with the scale set to 2 on my mesh in blender result in this in ue, which seems good for the brush size, but not sure about the ue mesurements
radius is 80 but the size is 800x202x202
pseudo swift
do you also have meters in blender?
frail pewter
Why is yours like that?
pseudo swift
after cloth painting the same mesh I get these ridiculous numbers
pseudo swift
ehmm, what do you mean? its for a project im working on, 20k cause the cloth sim get more wrinkles and interacts better with wind in ue ?
frail pewter
Yeah
ok
So it looks weird and all right?
You should probably not simulate the whole thing
and only a bit part of it
pseudo swift
size seems good in the scene, although the numbers etc
frail pewter
That's pretty good
it sees the thing that the constraint of it
is not that good
you have painted almost the entire mesh
start a bit low
and then go on 1 by 1
pseudo swift
can you elaborate what you mean with 'it sees the thing' ?
frail pewter
oh I meant seems
pseudo swift
the whole thing is painted except a few verts at the top
frail pewter
its seems that you have almost weigh painted the entire mesh
Oh yeah
weighs
Check your skeleton for the skeletal mesh
weight paint it like a good amount
and then you might get smoother results
pseudo swift
frail pewter
Check the material if it is two sided
pseudo swift
the funny thing is in the picture you see another piece of cloth and that plane works just fine
yeah but the numbers
41,111 like wtf
pseudo swift
sure haha
pseudo swift
frail pewter
are you trying to get a smooth cloth simulation?
like a smooth cloth
flat smooth cloth?
pseudo swift
yea
smooth simple cloth like a flag hanging
import it like this with uniform scale set to 1
pseudo swift
I mean the geo is not completely flat since I need some more volume
frail pewter
the geo?
frail pewter
what is going on in your brain Carl Johnson?
pseudo swift
hahahaha
pseudo swift
okay unreal jedi
as a humble padawan i will wait
still dont get why my numbers change so much though
this is the same mesh before and after painting
pseudo swift
i assume you imported a flat plane ? i want more wrinkles that why I added / moved my edges around
im wondering mostly about this, numbers change after I apply clothing data to my mesh
second image is before applying, first image is after applying
frail pewter
I know it does for my too
it is simulating clothing
so ofcourse it is going to change
pseudo swift
thats whats making my editor go crazy zoom out mode
so when I open the mesh again its "invisible"
pseudo swift
and resizing it in blender and updating the assets in unreal changes the size ofc but still invisible
i did this exact process yesterday and have a cloth plane which is working that I can re-open and inspect / repaint
that was exported using scale 1 from blender and it seems fine, not sure why that one is not displayed as invisible etc.
frail pewter
Thats the thing
sometimes higher verticies doesnt make difference in UE4 Cloth Simulation 😄
just upload a normal plane
and see for your self
pseudo swift
hmm I closed unreal and re-opened it and imported a plane with only 1.3k faces
works alot better I think
it doesnt seem to become invisible and freak out
its almost interacting with the wind how I want it too

tame delta
Hello, just gonna repeat my question in case someone can help 🙂 I'm working with big, complex and numerous CAD models (assembly lines) that I need to show in VR. On an average machine here I often get >10k drawcalls and >20M triangles on the screen at a time, causing framerate drops. I need to somehow optimize my scene automatically (we're talking about 10s of thousands of individual meshes here) to at least try and get the drawcalls down a bit, but my previous attempts (merging meshes, material instances) haven't been fruitful, and generally caused even worse performances... Any idea?
tame delta
That's the kind of machines we're working on 🤷
tame delta
And it's all from CAD-exported step files so it's very raw
frail pewter
You can use the inbuilt UE4 LOD tool to decrease the verticies and the triangles and stuff
that really helps
Try using that
You can go as low as its seemless
tame delta
I've tried merging all my meshes in logical cluster (make one big mesh with a bunch of material slots) and then LOD it all by default (cut down 50% of the vertices)
Result was even lower framerate
frail pewter
in VR?
Hmmm thats interesting
Anything with the textures the scenes or the materials?
if not then you probs need a better machine then...
I don't know how big your models are
tame delta
@frail pewter Yup VR, I don't even use textures yet and the materials are extremely simple, there's only one master material and just a bunch of instances that change the color (as it looks in the CAD).
Well the machine is like 12x8m I reckon, it's an assembly line
Here's what it looks like if it helps https://i.imgur.com/TwFxoE0.jpg
Lots of small and detailed bits in there
It's mostly solid colors as you can see, just a bit of transparency for the glass and the lasers, but nothing too crazy
dark rune
@frail pewter oh. that's slightly inconvinient

crude vessel
Ah sorry, but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have a similar function
tame delta
Reproj makes it "okay" even, but I really need to improve it
crude vessel
Ahbit appears it has a simplified Assemblies
But I have no hands on experience
Have you tried that before exporting the parts?
tame delta
@frail pewter Valve Index resolution, don't have it off the top of my head, haven't even checked the settings
I think I'm really draw call limited so I haven't really paid too much attention to the rest
tame delta
@crude vessel Haven't tried that, but it seems we're limited in what/how we can export because of the tools we use internally
frail pewter
@tame delta these
as you can see there
I put it to 76 and all high
I have higher frame rates
tame delta
Well all post processing is disabled anyway, I can try lowering the render res, I doubt it'll change something but I'll try it. I'm cloning the project now so it's gonna take a second
crude vessel
Ah okay, I'd look into it. Part of it was to hide internal geometry to protect ip
But culling faces that won't be seen seems like a great idea
frail pewter
Yeah sure do it
tame delta
I don't think we have that many of those, those machines are really "open", there's no watertightness anywhere, and the complexity seems awfully well spread through the geometry
tame delta
Jacketing can also be done in UE4, but it removes very very little
frail pewter
its really going to help
tame delta
Well lower render res is also gonna make it look worse unfortunately
frail pewter
@tame delta set the 3D res to something 75 really not a big difference
tame delta
There's a lot to be done on the geometry, that's what I'm aiming at mostly
frail pewter
but huge frame rates

Good noon everyone!
I am trying to build a system where multiple actors are connected via spline meshes. Currently using a single blueprint that detects these actors and connects them at runtime.
I want to detect if one connecting mesh overlaps another. What is the best approach to achieve this?
Still learning Unreal.
peak crane
@fierce tulip can I provide a link to the support discord?
late nest
Well you could add a collision box around the meshes and check for overlap. Though that will trigger overlap for anything. If it’s a specific object your checking for you can cast to that object
peak crane
okay, thx
violet pumice
@late nest, thanks. I am still figuring out how to dynamically shape the collision box to match my mesh. Any ideas?
late nest
Capsule if it’s a character mesh, box if you aren’t to bothered about accuracy, trial and error. If you want it to be a specific shape your better off setting up the blueprint for one box and just using multiple collision boxes to make the shape you want.
Then just copy and past the blueprint to each collision check
Normally just use a capsule or box myself though works fine 😂
violet pumice
okay,will dig into what you said. Thanks again!

sacred sun
did a quick test and if the 'in widget to focus' input is not connected the mouse doesn't appear.

Agent the way you currently have it set up would require a lot of "targets" to notice variations...how many targets are in your array?
gilded lichen
26
sly coyote
And youre trying to set one of the friendlies as the target?
gilded lichen
no, there are two types of targets: friendlies and enemies
left friendly, right enemy
sly coyote
Do they all start as friendly and you set them to enemy in the 2nd loop?
Or reverse sorry
gilded lichen
Yes, reverse
sly coyote
Theyre all enemies and you set some to friends
sly coyote
Is your array being populated correctly BEFORE this beginplay?
Check where you populate your targets
With a print string
And check this begin play with a print string
gilded lichen
I populated it with the 'Pick Actor from scene'
sly coyote
But elsewhere
And you need to make sure targets is actually populated when you get to this beginplay
You could even just do a print string and print the value of targets in this begin play
Make sure it's not empty when this starts
After the completed, print the count it is going to use for the 2nd loop
gilded lichen
not empty, first says 26 then 13. 26 targets in total, as I set percent to 50, 13 is also correct
sly coyote
Ok first pain point checks out
The chance also checks out as you said 13% is what its coming up with
Wish i could see it as 1 picture
gilded lichen
no, 13 targets and 50%
sly coyote
Trying to follow 3 pictures makes this tough
pulsar kraken
struggling here.. my projectile is going through the landscape... anyone got a tutorial or quick tips.. i have looked and can't pinpoint the issue
sly coyote
That looks like it should work without a hitch....try grabbing random target through a get node instead of dragging off the set...i know it should work but ive had issues in the past where weird shit like that happened to me cause of a bug
You count, then you see the number of times to loop, then you randomly pick targets from the ability ones to set to friendly equal to the % of them...
I see nothing wrong with it at all
sly coyote
Lol hey those are the best kind of bugs right lol
gilded lichen
and this is in simulated
sly coyote
Your logic was sound there
gilded lichen
well sorry about that
sly coyote
Where is color changing happening
gilded lichen
construct script
sly coyote
You might have to move it to begin play
sly coyote
Construction runs before you set them as good or bad
serene birch
construction script basically runs when you place the object in the editor 😛
gilded lichen
runs perfectly. Thanks for the help 🙂
sly coyote
You did the work not me 😁

Sorry about that 🙂

Hmm... might take more until it gets stable and enough feature rich.

if it's functional and not half-arsed, it'll be great

hi guys. do you know how to find assets in a folder, in BP?
or.. how to create an array of levels..
levels / maps
I'm trying to create an array of all levels that might be chosen for loading, it would be ideal if it worked automagically, by looking inside a folder
I wanna avoid making this array of names / strings manually
wary wave
you don't - you'll probably have to do the manual array of paths

They really went forward with this:

4.24 came out pretty quickly after 4.23 I feel

@wary wave I saw at some point an example.. of someone loading files from disk
I just don't remember how

can someone help me to create enemy that moves in y axis to where ball is
im making ping pong game

@serene birch, 4.23 didn't even enter 4.23.2
serene birch
yeah
New Atmosphere Fog Component. We have a new AtmosphereSky component which adds a physically based Earth-like atmosphere. It can be used to create exotic worlds and provides ground view with and aerial perspectives, including ground to space views for planetary atmospheres.
so it supports "exotic worlds"
fierce tulip
hnng
copper flicker
before interplanetary space flight I wish they fixed their basics..
fierce tulip
or you know, there is a team working on fixing stuff, and a team working on improving stuff, and a team working on adding new features.
serene birch
no no no, the janitor must stop cleaning now and help the 2D team 😛
visual belfry
and a team porting stuff from fortnite 🤣
copper flicker
the team working on fixing ain't fixing..
fierce tulip
sure buddy
serene birch
there's a PR for fixing the paper2D performance issues in review
fierce tulip
as for 2d, you might want to check https://forums.unrealengine.com/unreal-engine/marketplace/1643429-pixel2d-the-sequel-to-paper2d-complete-2d-platformer-solution
copper flicker
like ok, if 2D is irrelevant, how ab out better import and defaults options for meshes
fierce tulip
lol
visual belfry
how would you define better than the property matrix?
serene birch
that's not something the team working on the atmospheric rendering math can help with mostly
copper flicker
meaning in the property matrix there's a TON of missing attributes to tweak
or.. to not tweak.. cuz they' missing
fierce tulip
get the batch edit tool on mp. done.
copper flicker
what's that
fierce tulip
exactly
meager grotto
should we update 4.24 😄 have buggy ? or 😄
fierce tulip
or use blutilities and make your own
copper flicker
I don't want to install experimental plugins
I need my project healthy
I think this is core Unreal functionality that's missing
and meanwhile they waste a lot of dev resources on 3D rendering fanciness
next badger
I've asked if it's possible before, and it was "yes".
How can i copy my Per Instance settings to a base class?
fallen goblet
I wonder if the issues that are supposed to get fixed in 4.24 would actually get fixed without creating more bugs 😅
fierce tulip
its not experimental, epic tests them, and the creators need to keep the tools updated.
if they would break projects, people would report it already
serene birch
UE4 is mostly 3D focused
next badger
"mostly" is like 95%
light thunder
What's the best practice for determine quickly which actor spawned a widget? I'm getting multiple instances but I can't search for a "Create widget node"
serene birch
like, probably 99% of the UE4 users would be "why is Epic wasting time with that fancy 2D stuff nobody cares about?"
copper flicker
plenty huh..
errant ice
4.24 PREVIEW YEEEEEEEEES
fierce tulip
are the tools lacking? yea kinda
copper flicker
sure, you can make a 2D game in UE, I tried too.. but I ran into some serious bugs
fierce tulip
but between fortnite and the small group of people using 2d, its not worth the time and money investment
copper flicker
and performance with sprites
fierce tulip
hence we get community people making a new 2d editor
serene birch
basically a catch22 thing, tools are lacking so UE4 doesn't pick up a bigger 2d community, 2d community is smallish so Epic doesn't spend more time improving 2d
fierce tulip
that could also be partially just be a lack of experience :p
copper flicker
like you can't merge them properly and yo can't have more than 500ish or so.. rendered at one time
serene birch
so that deadlock had to be broken by an exterior party
copper flicker
no Luos
fallen goblet
That's an amazing idea new 2d editor
serene birch
that pixel2d thing looks to be it 🙂
copper flicker
yeah I noticed they are abandoning paper 2d
serene birch
sprite performance was heavily broken in like 4.18 or so? there's a PR to improve that somewhere 😛
copper flicker
but I wouldn't dare to use a community managed tool
fierce tulip
well go root for it, post about it in the thread, mention it on twitter. show epic you'd want them to support that new 2d engine.
for random reasons
copper flicker
I would much rather move to another engine, if I want to try 2D again
serene birch
try a community managed engine? 😄

@chrome prism is talented enough

boshy can use all the love he can get to get that dev-grant

Godot is not intuitive in sense of hierarchy and communication between classes
plush yew
how to make my actor position same as other actor. So when actor 1 moves, this actor moves to same direction in y axis
next badger
@copper flicker yep. GameMaker
copper flicker
not a chance
it's a really limited engine, I have friends who work with it..
I never touched it
😄
Godot is designed with 2D and nested prefabs at its heart.. which is friggin amazing.
the problem is tho.. it's rough
and young
and has a tiny dev team with no resources
aka moneyzzzz
wary wave
Godot is not that young..
copper flicker
well, younger than others
in therms of game engine age...
it's young-ish
or at least, feels like that
wary wave
it's 5-6 years old and fairly decently featured
cedar snow
it's not an elder yet
copper flicker
yeah, it's got a lot of features
and they are all buggy
😄
like.. hey, we have C# support now. well, only for marketting purposes
and a lot of features are just for marketing, but really rough around all of the edges..
you can wipe out your work really easily by renaming and reparenting assets for example
I found a few major bugs like that, and then I set Godot on hold for the foreseable future
😄

@plush yew you need to get the world location/rotation of the actor you want to follow; you might need to try playing with add local offset if you don't get the results you want with set relative

An actor can create a widget, but the "create widget" node is useless to search through because it just gives you the generic node

We have the MatLayerBlend methods since 4.0, which are great though only allow blending material nodes ; we've had "material layers" as a short-lived feature before which I guess was still in the engine and allowed actual material stacks ; and now the new one

@copper flicker anyways, whatever engine you'll be using, I honestly wish you good luck with your projects. also sorry for grumpy-no-food-yet replies.

I don't care about it being on tick anymore
just use a verified getter for it

But this workflow is nice.
Really happy to finally see an option to disable XR during project setup.
Long time coming.

the dividers are gone separating categories and items
you are a few weeks behind on the .24 changes 😛

I don't track the GitHub repo. 😛
I just watch the roadmap, so there's a lot of new stuff here for me.
The dividers aren't gone, though. They're just thinner and there's no more color difference in the containers.
grim ore
and I agree new templates would fit right in with the new project changes 🙂
ah yeah I meant visibly they are gone
severe ibex
Okay. Anybody have any clue what the hell could have caused this? I literally just opened my project and pressed play.
maiden swift
@severe ibex You need to give us more context. We don't know what your project is supposed to look like.
severe ibex
Like this. Sorry for the phone pics.
It looks like that in the BP for the building. So materials seem fine, post process volume for the cell shader effect doesn't seem to be the cause.
maiden swift
Judging by the first pic, the only difference I see is the cell shader being applied.
Which may be affecting the colors on the that building's shaders.
severe ibex
I don't quite understand why thatd be the big cause though. I have changed nothing since last time and it looked dandy then.
grim ore
well I can't get the .24 p1 to open up into the editor for me this morning, this is going to be one of those fun days
maiden swift
@grim ore It's actually more spaced out too.
Wait, hold on. Don't know why that's so tiny.
grim ore
the details panel has the changes as well it's more.... google flat?
oh ffs... I really can't open this project I was just being dramatic before but this is really happening. The preview is broke, send it back I want a refund

Hey, I have a question. I have a pawn with a camera component, Can i add collision to the camera?
grim ore
i've been using the .24 source build to do some work with the new launcher and templates and had to edit the source to get some of them to load lol. I was hoping the previews might fix that, I think the actual templates were fubared
maiden swift
The first person BP template seems fine. That's what I opened, with XR and ray tracing disabled.
grim ore
ok it finally openened, I think it's the RT stuff that is having an issue
shader compiler is crashing when trying to compile RT shaders lol. The question is; is the crashing due to me not having a RT card or due to P1 lol
the good part is the templates are fixed and not crashing on loadup now so yay 🙂
fierce tulip
why not both?
grim ore
well I think the engine will still run if you have RT on but an unsupported card so I think this is P1

Hey, I have a question. I have a pawn with a camera component, Can i add collision to the camera?
grim ore
anything most things can have collision yes, is this camera just inside the pawn or where is it?
grim ore
by default it should be colliding, does it not collide when you go against a wall?
maiden swift
@grim ore The font looks different, too. The text is more compact, but it's not Roboto Condensed. Maybe an updated version of Roboto or better kerning/tracking in Slate? 🤔
plush yew
Exactly, I don't know why but it's not colliding
grim ore
If you are using a spring arm the probe channel is what determines what it is colliding against, it defaults to camera
what is it not colliding with? can you show an example
plush yew
Well, I have a plane and i tried using a camera blocking volume
Actually, Can i make the camera blocking volume visible? It's hard to test with it when it's invisible ;-;
hard lintel
Does anyone know a way to rename an extremely large folder? My assets folder is 20g so whenever I try to rename it in-engine it just crashes.
grim ore
I wonder if this is due to you not having any collision on your root
plush yew
DefaultSceneRoot...?
grim ore
actually even with no collision on my root the camera still is blocked by other meshes
can you show an example of it not working I guess?
grim ore
I wonder if it just feels like its not working because your actual item has no collision and is moving
I cant tell what that picture is supposed to look like
azure shore
hey I noticed a cool "glitch" in ue4 you guys probably know about where you know how ragdolls start shaking a lot if theyve been falling long enough, well if theres a detached body part that falls off the map and the rest of the body stays on the ground, the body still on the ground will start vibrating and shaking around a lot too
plush yew
It's the camera inside the floor

its a pretty cool effect
unique kraken
hey, anyone got a idea how to rotate a tangende 90°
grim ore
how are you moving the camera?
warped tangle
what's a tangende
plush yew
unique kraken
a vector
grim ore
that's not moving the camera, just the pawn itself
you said its seeing thru the floor are you just at floor level or something?
plush yew
Well, It's a game where the camera is the character and the camera can fly because it's a building game
unique kraken
tangent* sry
grim ore
ok my guess is you are moving your pawn thru the floor and the camera goes with it, not much you can do about that but stop your pawn
hard lintel
For whatever reason, renaming a large file full of art assets always crashes my graphics driver. I think it fills up the VRAM and then crashes graphics driver > crashes UE.
plush yew
Is there a way to print out the name of the objects i'm colliding with?
Just to make sure there is collision on my camera
manic pawn
I wonder if there is some way to do the rename with a console command or commandlet 
grim ore
the collision is on the spring arm for that setup
plush yew
Yeah i know
manic pawn
then you could do it without it loading the meshes into vram
grim ore
and it checks against the probe channel set up
plush yew
So, How do i check what the name of the object i'm colliding with?
normal burrow
i've not ever written a console command, whats that look like?
grim ore
I dont think the collision item for the spring arm is exposed 😦 is your item, your root, your main part of the pawn that is moving around going thru the ground?
if your pawn is going thru the ground then the camera will follow it
grim ore
the spring arm only collapses itself between the root it is attached to and the camera on the other end
plush yew
But, I'm pretty sure what is moving is the pawn
grim ore
right now with a default root you have no collision, that item can go anywhere. If the camera is on one side of the ground (below it) then the camera will follow it. Have you tried looking up then going backwards thru the ground
plush yew
So, Any ideas or tips to avoid the pawn going through stuff?
grim ore
you need a root item that has collision, like a box or sphere collision or a static mesh
if you make a sphere collision component and replace the root with that, then the item will now have collision if you change it to block all for example
plush yew
That root item needs to be under DefaultSceneRoot?
grim ore
I think if you put something like a static mesh as the root, set it to block all, and gave it a mesh like a sphere then you might see how this is actually working
honest vale
do physically based brithness units work now?
grim ore
the root is the root, its the first item, the top item, the DefaultSceneRoot in this case. you would replace it (drag the new root on top of it and replace it)
honest vale
previously I managed to get exposure stuck somehow when I had a sunlight and a candle with real values
plush yew
Ohhh. Okay, I'll go try it right now
honest vale
everything got washed out somehow
plush yew
Thx @grim ore
severe ibex
Sorry guys I know it's not the perfect place. But is there a way to edit the parameters of all dynamic material instances on an array of static meshes?
plush yew
Ay Thx @grim ore It worked!
severe ibex
Ohim retarded. Theres a cast to material instance dynamic.
abstract relic
Also look into material parameter collection
severe ibex
@abstract relic I will. Any quick overview of what it's all about?
brittle stratus
so the new engine 4.24 does it have the chaos stuff baked in yet? and if your nto using windows ten will it work
abstract relic
Basically an asset that stores arbitrary values that can be referenced by any material. So imagine you want to store the player position. Have the character bp update the value in the collection and the material will in turn be influenced by it. I.e dynamic grass that deforms when the player stands on it
