how would I make a actor spawn in a area? what do i need to search for. dont know how to google this. i seem to get the wrong thing

kindred viper
spawn actor funnily enough
lapis vine
spawn actor unreal is really fantastic search. In fact just take few basic tutorials before asking these. You gonna learn many other things too.
lapis vine
It is dark jungle in the beginning - yes. You just need personal time & effort.

Just follow the official trail. There is enough documentation now to carry anyone through learning Unreal basics

How to export textures from UE4?
hidden aurora
Please can someone help me im using unreal 4.23, just created a new project and added the advanced steam sessions plugin and when i try to compíle the project this is what i getr
midnight tree
Help
I want to export character from UE4 with textures to check in DCC softwares how did pros made them.
I exported mesh, but not textures
cloud cobalt
What more do you expect to see that's not visible in UE4 ?
If there is no "export" it's because the source file is not available
merry gazelle
anyone else having issues signing into Quixel Bridge (UE4 account)?
grim ore
you should not need to install python, did the plugin install correctly for your version of the engine?
midnight tree
@cloud cobalt but I have maps with.uasset extension
cloud cobalt
Yes, and they've been stripped from source to prevent you from ripping them off
midnight tree
I am not pro to ue4, wanted to check how maps were applied, check mesh wireframe etc
grim ore
the installation folder is incorrect
you point to the root folder of the engine
it should show it installing in the top right when you do that
grim ore
try it as 4.23 then?
plush yew
k
grim ore
I can say for sure that .23 binary build from the launcher works fine with bridge, I am using it now
did you try rebuilding your custom version after installing the plugin? or running generate project files (perhaps to add the new modules?
grim ore
there is a big megascans button on the toolbar if it is working
grim ore
under window does it have python editor at the bottom?
grim ore
no I mean under window, the menu at the top, at the bottom, of the menu at the top when you click it, does it say python editor at the bottom
grim ore
then it didnt install properly 😦 must be something custom for the source builds then
grim ore
you would have an "UnrealEnginePython" plugin if it installed correctly
yep thats the plugin, maybe move it
merry gazelle
@plush yew I think I had this same issue earlier. Now I can't even sign in lol. Going to reinstall bridge
plush yew
its rebuilding byitself
wait wdym

@merry gazelle sometimes too good to be true things dont work

Isn't the Python plugin 2.7 only ?
plush yew
cloud cobalt
You shouldn't need to compile
Where did you install it ?
In your project, right ?
cloud cobalt
Wait, let me understand
Why do people put plugins in the engine folder ?
It doesn't work
It can't work
It won't work
plush yew
So i need to put it in E:/Givre/Plugins/PluginName
plush yew
Alrighty
cloud cobalt
Remove your Python install too
plush yew
Ok
cloud cobalt
Since you have one already in the plugin
And I mean, read the doc : https://github.com/20tab/UnrealEnginePython
There's a simple guide right there for binary installation
cloud cobalt
Which UE version do you have, did you make sure to grab a matching one ? Is your project a source project ?
plush yew
Its v4.23
the version
but my ue4 is modified
Also im guessing maybe not supported?

Almost done
Recompile from source failed

so annoyed that I can login to Bridge anymore. Registered a new account and nothing happens after. Tried reporting the issue and it directs me to the login lol
is there a default download folder?
It just spins so I think it's something to do with that
merry gazelle
maybe it's a server issue on Epic / UE side
because it would explain why I can't login too
limber mantle
this is happening in the middle of a gam jam oh god
cloud cobalt
You don't need Python for your game.
No one does
And chances are the plugin does work, maybe not with your modified engine
manic pawn
not having your tools prepared before the jam

@limber mantle Try a different version

magic sluice
im new to ue4 and im just exploring around, why does my ball not bounce at angles? it only bounces when it hits horizontal plane, i've enabled gravity for ball and set restitution to 1 in "physical material" of the ball

@limber mantle Gonna need to work without him then, you can't go back in UE evrsions.
magic sluice
it also drops very fast
worthy flame
what is the collision setting so it will only ignore the character,and have normal collision for everything else?
limber mantle
yeah no choice
merry gazelle
I don't suppose you can just download that engine outside of the launcher? maybe on github
cloud cobalt
Yeah, he can get the source on Github, download the deps, spend an hour building the editor
If he doesn't have Visual Studio etc set up already, it's gonna be slow anyway though
cloud cobalt
?
grim ore
the bridge just sets it all up for you, the assets can still be downloaded and set up manually.

opal berry
InstancedFoliageActor_0 Instanced meshes don't yet support unique static lighting for each LOD. Lighting on LOD 1+ may be incorrect unless lightmap UVs are the same for all LODs.

wary wave
exactly what the error message says, the project doesn't have the python console module
also player state, do these not exist on clients?
I was under the impression the entire point was that they did
dim plover
PlayerStates replicate, yeah.
opal berry
does anyone know the answer for my question?
wary wave
@dim plover - does it though? Player Controller has a var PlayerState, which is supposed to be replicated, but on my connecting client the value always seems to be none
dim plover
Yeah, it definitely does. When are you trying to get the PlayerState? It does have to replicate down first.
wary wave
doing this on the server on PostLogin;
dim plover
Probably isn't created at PostLogin. Let me check.
wary wave
with listen server and two clients, listen server is correct, but for both clients, player states are none
opal berry
InstancedFoliageActor_0 Instanced meshes don't yet support unique static lighting for each LOD. Lighting on LOD 1+ may be incorrect unless lightmap UVs are the same for all LODs.
What does this error mean
does it mean that the asset dont support it or the engine?
wary wave
it means you can't bake lighting on instanced foliage with LODs
(literally what it says)
hushed delta
That sounds like a warning mostafa, your project should work fine
but the static shadows will be based only on LOD 0
they may look wrong when you're far away from your foliage actor
wary wave
usually you use dynamic lighting on foliage
opal berry
but the lods look like clouds on my tree and show no detail at all
i mean the shadows not lods
dim plover
So, I'm pretty sure the PlayerState is available in PostLogin.
It probably just didn't replicate down to the clients yet, so the RPC couldn't resolve?
wary wave
possibly, kinda annoying
dim plover
Oh, handling this for seamless travel is confusing af. Just cleaned some stuff up like this 3 days ago.
dim plover
Called the PostLogin Super?
wary wave
probably not actually...
still no dice
bugger this, I need to find some examples
trying to work out UE4's myriad chicken and egg problems manually is a nightmare
don't suppose there's a sample rudimentary lobby out there somewhere?
dim plover
When you call AddPlayerToLobbyWidget, are you checking if the InPlayerState is valid?
dim plover
I mean, on the client.
wary wave
no, that's where it's accessing none
dim plover
Alright, I'm probably doing more harm than good at this point... I really think you should try the delay again, maybe longer.
Or better yet, not even do what you're trying to do in PostLogin. #multiplayer can probably solve this easily.
wary wave
I did put a delay in, no dice
I need to find an example
there's obviously some intended order to things that I'm unaware of

basically if it's not working you didnt/it didnt get installed correctly https://help.quixel.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360006333798-Quixel-Bridge-UE4-pythonconsole-could-not-be-found the live link program needs to be in the correct place and for your version of the engine. IF you are using a non launcher build you might need to adjust your settings @drowsy perch
mossy nymph
@wary wave use HandleStartingNewPlayer instead of PostLogin
wary wave
thanks
mossy nymph
its BPNative, _Implementation just calls RestartPlayer();
so you might need to add a parent call there
also note that PS has a pretty low NetPriority, and will probably not have replicated by the time that ClientRPC arrives
wary wave
hmm, still nothing
mossy nymph
mostly reliable solution it to increase it to over 3, but its susceptible to packet loss
wary wave
nah, even with a 1 second delay, it's not happening
PlayerState is just none on the clients
mossy nymph
their own, other players, all PS?
mossy nymph
void APawn::OnRep_PlayerState()
{
SetPlayerState(PlayerState);
}
i'd override that
its the most reliable hook for it
wary wave
I don't have a pawn yet
mossy nymph
so you need PlayerStates before you spawn/possess a Pawn?
wary wave
yeah
just tried ensuring there is a pawn and it still doesn't work
I really need an example
leaden relic
Dear Wonderful Unreal Community. Was wondering if they was a way for lighting to ignore normal direction.
Reason:
I need a material that will shade a lit object based on distance away from light sources. But Have no Surface curvature information. Going for a flat painted look.
mossy nymph
@wary wave then overriding AGameStateBase::AddPlayerState
and RemovePlayerState
those 2 function keep GS->PlayerArray in sync
grim ore
@plush yew reading thru the live link docs and the unreal python docs if you are doing a custom build of the engine you will have to have a custom compile of the plugin from source in your project folder in order for it to work 😦
leaden relic
so meshes will be linear or Shaded ( Lit ) based on distance to light source. But still look flat due to having no normal information
crisp hawk
How do you edit vertices in the ue4 mesh editor?
plush yew
i did
opal berry
@wary wave Does that mean that in a future version of the engine will it be supported?
wary wave
no, it does not mean that
mossy nymph
basically you do not need to notify clients PlayerStates arrived on their instances
wary wave
@mossy nymph - I think I'm just going to do this a completely different way
I really don't want to waste hours on this
mossy nymph
as PlayerStates will access the GameState and add themselves to the PlayerArray
on their PostInitializeComponents
grim ore
@plush yew https://github.com/Quixel/Megascans-UE4LiveLink/issues/4 if the plugin is not in the engine dir, try this
mossy nymph
so whenever a new PlayerState is replicated to client or constructed on server, AddPlayerState function in GameState is called, and its virtual
so should be all you need
plush yew
@grim ore the plugin is installed

@wary wave PlayerStates exist on clients (all) and are always relevelant, They are creted before pawns but after controller. Don't remember exactly but it is in either on Posses or at set pawn
if you really want to use PlayerState for something on client
wary wave
cheers, either way, even inside the pawn I can't seem to access it

you should just use OnRep_PlayerState

It's very straight forward to set Fog Density and Fog Height Falloff (among other properties) but for some reason, "Second Fog" doesn't show up.

Anyone of you guys know if UE has had any updates to help with creating chamfered/beveled edges?
I model with Sketchup as it's super fast but a big downside is that it's not so great working with softedges...
This sort of thing would be amazing
Thread discussing the topic: https://forums.unrealengine.com/unreal-engine/feedback-for-epic/1542744-round-corner-soft-hard-edges
trim trail
not much so can be done inside ue4, except delicate blur, chromatic aberration and using MAA
edge softness comes mainly from apps you make models
edge softness in renderer is mostly offline renderer territory, keyshot had something like that too
vivid narwhal
probably a dumb question but is there a way to switch off all debug traces, spheres and print strings while simulating
trim trail
if you want fast approach, i'd suggest selecting in blender or other dcc app hard edges (selecting by angle), beveling to 1 segment and then auto smooth with proper angle, best results from 1 segment bevels come from manual vertex normal manipulation
merry gazelle
ah right, I was hoping for something along the lines of auto-LOD. I will have a go with Blender
trim trail
y.a.v.n.e is example blender plugin that does vertex normal editing, all i did was selecting large flat surfaces and applying strong weight to them, apparently blender 2.8 has something similar natively, but i wasnt impressed or maybe i havent tested it properly

Is bevel in the modifier tabs

what the best way to make animation if you don't have mocap suits or anything like that. doesn't unreal have like keyframe animation?
abstract relic
Open a 3d application of your choice (Blender, Maya, 3d studios, etc) and make your animations there
thick herald
Try out Cascadeur - it's currently in beta. Physics based animations. 🙂
crude robin
i did not know blender did animation and i have that on my comp lord.
regal mulch
Blender is probably the best way. UE4 has a keyframe system, but only to correct minor errors.
I wouldn't advise to use it for an animation from scratch.
If you can't animate (cause that's not an easy thing), then you could check the marketplace for animation
crude robin
yeah most the animation i gather are from marketplace. but thing for like gun idling animation and stuff sometimes are not with the pack
though i could just use the basic one with the starter animation pack

sharp crest
any idea why I cant paint foliage on foliage?
it just ignores it and only paints on the landscape or meshes
the foliage I'm trying to place on is on BlockAll collision
somber condor
So I used profiler tool and still it indicates my bottleneck is 'World Tick Time' but even there I can't break down further than that. What's actually world tick time ?! : |
flat idol
@sharp crest maybe the mesh has no collision so you cant paint on it, not sure tho but maybe that's the reason.
sharp crest
I said it has
flat idol
@somber condor the world is probably your map executing everything below.
@sharp crest make sure the actual mesh has a simple collision too, or set it to use complex as simple collision (temporarily!)
sharp crest
it does and it works on the same mesh when it's a mesh and not foliage @flat idol
flat idol
Idk. If it's something like a tree just drop the branch mesh in there overlap the foliage item and paint on that. Or you can try experimenting with settings. I don't really remember but maybe you must press a button like ctrl or alt or shift etc while clicking on objects, but don't recall this.
cloud cobalt
@somber condor Level BP would be my guess then
flat idol
The profiler is a tricky one, usually you drop down the entires all you can see is stalling, but there is at least one that is going to give you a rather long stack you are looking for. There was nice epic tutorial about how to use the tool and not get lost.
sharp crest
@flat idol I figured it out, I turned on movable - then it worked. Then I changed back to static and it still works.
Maybe just had to reload it cuz I changed the collision and that did the trick
flat idol
Wow. proably a map reload would work too.

Can't say I know what I'm looking at here. The weapon is attached to the char right hand, and the left hand is FABRIK attached to the barrel of the gun.

how are you getting the transform for left arm?
swift spindle
I've not used FABRIK unfortunately... most of my knowledge is pre 4.20 stuff
normal burrow
does anything alter the right hand?
beyond things to the left of that fabrik node?
pale forge
Right now I'm guessing that I am not getting the transform for the left hand correctly. I should use a socket, but I just set it
sharp crest
normal burrow
spammer its fine what your doing there as long as the right hand is the parent of the weapon
sharp crest
optimizing is hard 🦢
normal burrow
if the weapon is always in right hand space, then setting the ik target for the left hand based on the right is fine
however
zoom out of your graph
anything to the right side connection of your fabrik node that could alter the right hand would be subject to the difference between the two.
pale forge
normal burrow
hm thats really messed up if its multiplying that transform offset on the right side of the bone transform lol
which might be what it does
pale forge
changing from "Bone Space" to "Parent Bone Space" almost fixed it.
normal burrow
ah yea, that would put the multiply on the left side as a child (would hope)
so i'm guessing the only issue the gun transform now?
left hand keeps on the gun, but gun is all over the place?
pale forge
No the gun stays stuck to the right hand, aim offset works, but left hand is just out of place
normal burrow
does the guns relative transform change at all?
normal burrow
try temporarily disconnecting that aim offset too
just to see if its a factor of it or not
edgy halo
Hey! i have a character skeletal mesh (standard UE one) and VR hands attached to my VR pawn, how do i hide the hands AND disable the collision on the skeletal mesh so i only use the VR hands? My VR hands get their position from the skeletal mesh hands so i cant delete them
having 4 hands is a no go for my game
flat idol
There is a hide bone command in blueprints you can specify the hands and hide them i suppose.
Hand, or the entire arms whatever feels better.
normal burrow
yes
edgy halo
So i would make that in the pawn bp and make a cast to the AnimBP and get the bone from there?
flat idol
I think you execute the command on the mesh but maybe require the animinstance idk.
normal burrow
it does it by scaling robert (i think) but have to look it up one sec
normal burrow
oh my bad sorry, thought you were asking
edgy halo
scale 0 wouldnt mess my location up i guess=?

Hello
Anyone know how to get a quedrupeds rig file for retargeting animations?
Is it possible to generate one?
edgy halo
ok weird this makes my vr hands dissapear completely
flat idol
Bambus add sockets to the skeleton next to the hands, maybe they will give you correct locations
It is possible that hiding the hand makes attached components to be scale 0 too (since they are derive transforms from attached bone which is scale 0 already)
flat idol
Or you can try setting the vr hands to use absolute scale
That perhaps prevents this to happen above

can I edit a curve in a NavMeshProxy to make it so AI can jump over objects and not just up/down from edges?

So the ai will jump much further perhaps
vivid narwhal
it just walks into it sadly Robert. Tried on/off and not effecting
flat idol
You can probably prevent him walking into the object if you setup a nav blocking volume. Its for the test.
edgy halo
this is how im doing the socket
flat idol
Accessed None trying to read property SkeletalMesh That is either unaccesible or null by default, maybe another property is giving you the mesh.
Maybe the vr-ar channel can help you with this i know awkawrd little about vr setups :P

ah okay, thanks 😄

JackUniverse, you can enable to see the nav mesh, what does it look like? The modifier should give you a hole where the ai should be able jump over.
I've never done this tho, i could be mistaken on the hole jump part.

Hmm it looks good tho, so why he is not jumping i wonder.
Maybe set him some higher jump velocity? Just guessing

is it configured?
edgy halo
in the vive_pawnchracter event graph i can hide a bone from the mesh itself
so it should work?
configured as is? i can walk around with it and stuff
and it has collisions etc
mossy nymph
i mean skeletalmesh is assigned and visible?
edgy halo
yup
vivid narwhal
@flat idol so if I remove the barrier he jumps down fine, if the jump duration is too low he just kinda "slides" down the path, but if it's high he launches correctly. However, even with an insanely high jump duration, he just still hits the barrier.
edgy halo
sorry im really new to it, but the full error is "Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property SkeletalMesh". Blueprint: ThirdPerson_AnimBP Function: Execute Ubergraph Third Person Anim BP Graph: EventGraph Node: Set MC_Transform_R" its saying the error is with the "set" node?
theres a screenshot a bit up of the blueprints
mossy nymph
only nodes connected with white execution wires trigger execution
edgy halo
ohh
vivid narwhal
Erm... Actually. Now sometimes he'll slide into the barrier after trying to walk into it a few times and go into a jump
mossy nymph
set for left transform throws no errors?
edgy halo
nope, but the left one is still configured to get transform of hand mesh in vive_pawncharacter (which is the vr hands)
flat idol
@vivid narwhal JackUniverse is the pawn walking off the navmesh when hits the barrier? maybe the walking should nav walk only.
edgy halo
wait i think i fucked up some stuff, it doesnt make sense the way im doing it
im trying to transform the wrong hands
flat idol
Anyways BabumBo have you try setting the vr hands to use absolute scale (you can attach components by using keep world scale) that should make them visible again
After that you can experiment with ik setups to make the guy arms follow the virtual hands
edgy halo
i couldnt figure out how to do it haha
vivid narwhal
@flat idol Nope, it's staying inside the little balcony area. I was hoping there was a way to edit the exact curve but that doesn't seem to be possible
mossy nymph
dunno, if the character is invalid, it would complain about that being null, not the SkeletalMesh
edgy halo
yeah but as i set it up right now, its trying to find the transform of a socket, so it can change the transform on the skeletalmesh hands, but i need to change the transform on the VR hands instead to attach them to the socket, so i went about it all wrong
flat idol
@vivid narwhal is there an event you can hook on, and give a launch vector for him when he is reaching this navlink? In the AI channel you can perhaps get better ideas probably. :)
edgy halo
this is confusing me lmao
okay the thing i was trying to do shouldnt work, but can i in a FABRIK make the solver tip bone be my vr hand instead of hand_r? (which is the skeletalmesh own hand)
vague sable
texture in UMG for crosshair is blurry when I launch, then becomes normal a few seconds later, I assume it's lod/mipmap but I'm not sure where to change it? I did assign the texture to the UI texture group
edgy halo
in other words, can a tip bone be a bone from another mesh?
maybe make a bone that always updates its location relative to a seperate mesh? idk if possible
edgy halo
Thanks a lot robert, zlo and p@t i made it work by adding a virtual bone and using that as a tip bone!
sharp crest
getting this error when extracting quixel surface textures, any idea why?
it worked fine with a model just not with the textures lol

quixel's servers are currently being hammered
it's most likely the file timed out and is corrupt now
@sharp crest if this still happens over the next few days.. please send a request via https://help.quixel.com/hc/en-us/requests/new with the asset ID 🙂
neat forge
is it expensive to use complex collision as simple on low poly meshes?
sharp crest
thx
swift spindle
@neat forge while it's not as bad as it used to be... there are certain optimisations with using things like capsule colliders and whatnot instead of mesh collisions. In the end it's about how much accuracy vs performance your looking for. You'll need to experiment to see the trade off.
humble sun
👆 Exactly this... sometimes it could be just fine.
neat forge
So for something like this, what is the best option?
humble sun
I did do some tests once almost 2 years ago.
neat forge
Sorry Im a bit of a noob
humble sun
yeah thats fine
and if you have some LODs on your meshes (which you really wouldnt need in this case perhaps
)
there are even a few settings that allow you to use a lower lod as a collision
neat forge
That would be perfect, where are those settings?
Thank you for helping me!
I found it nevermind! Its cause I didnt have LODs set up
cerulean sorrel
I have a question. Is there a way to import a rigged model into Unreal and then pose it via its bones?

@plush yew
I gess you are not exporting with lower quality than the canvas in photoshop right?
Double click image and open it in unreal. See if there is anything wierd. It should have imported as type default. Check types, i know what this is for, but i cant remember the name,,, maybe it has to be changed to a certain type.

Hi I’m new to unreal is there really a need to use c++ or will the node-based programming be sufficient

It will be sufficient.
normal burrow
Tap it very fast
normal burrow
The white line runs when you press it. Only once
Until you let go
So you need to set some variable on press. And unset it on release. Then in tick you add the movement

i put the movement into the tick with a delay of 0.01 and it moves really really slowly
normal burrow
No delay

Try to not use ticks. Use a timeline instead

So i downloaded and installed the epic games launcher successfully but for some reason the launcher isnt getting admin rights to install UE4, I just keep getting the error
error code DP-06```
I still get this error even when running the installer as admin
i'm on windows 10 home 64 bitwhere are the debug logs located so i can check those
oh huh
it appears to have randomly gotten the memo and worked
now i just hope that it will run on my potato laptop 😛
godot and unity work but i think unreal has somewhat higher requirements right
tawdry lodge
UE4 have higher requirements yes
tight birch
I couldnt even run the epic games launcher when i first got the laptop last year because it has a gemini lake cpu and apollo and gemeni lake cpus used to crash on the launcher
so my prospects arent particularly high
can you disable extraneous features of the engine you don't need for your game
to save on resources
main chasm
I'm a sad boi
tight birch
why is that
main chasm
Because I've spent three hours trying to get these animations dealt with for my game
But everytime I try to retarget one the editor doesn't like the whole thing crashes
And I have to start all over
tight birch
make sure you hit ctrl s as often as possible 😄
or whatever the shortcut for saving in ue4 is
main chasm
Just doing the normal save doesn't help. I have to use the "save all" button otherwise it will revert all the animations back to their original state
Found that out the hard way
tight birch
ok, bind ctrl s to save all then 😉
tawdry lodge
When you launch the engine you can scale down the overall quality in the settings but I dont think you can do that before

@swift spindle just to be clear, timeline is pretty same thing as event tick. Timeline node is nothing but a component that ticks, so you better use one actor tick, than 10 timelines.

why doesnt ball move when moving actor
it has physics enable
this is problem in my game because enemy needs to follow ball. It cant follow ball if location is the same but ball is still moving
grave nebula
Because you are moving an actor, not the component, that simulates physics
plush yew
well how to make component move too in game
when ball spawns to game, enemy comes where it spawned
but ball keeps moving and enemy doesnt follow the ball. Its just where ball spawned

hm so i'm trying to use the vulkan renderer but when I switched my project to vulkan it fails to load now 😦 It just gets stuck at 33% and hangs there, when I look in task manager i see cpu usage is stuck at 100% and shadercompile worker seems to be having some sort of memory leak or something, I saw its memory usage spike up to about 1200mb for a split second before jumping back down to about 100 or so, has anyone else ran into this issue

Nope it is not having memory leak.....

@wary wave in the first image (output of function lrv) you have Location Rotation... but no float
in the second Image where the function is called, ther you have floats
wary wave
it's a vector
any struct, including vectors, rotators, transforms etc can be split
just right click on the input / output
alpine wigeon
you can also recombine it back
radiant haven
and then`?
alpine wigeon
There is either split or recombine...recombine will not be available if anything is plugged in
for example "Get Actor Location" Right click on the output vector and select split
that way you can save one node for the split
alpine wigeon
yes
radiant haven
thats not the case in the last to pics

Ok I do not think I follow now...
If it is in the same blueprint if you add new output it will add it to both the runction implementation and all the calls of the function

Hey guys! As some context, I’m brand new to UE4, but I’ve got experience in other game engines and in programming, modeling, and texturing.
I’m making a game, with some friends, as a hobby project for both PC VR and the Oculus Quest. I’ve already got it running and everything, that hasn’t been an issue. However, I do have one question:
What’s the best workflow for a project where there should be high quality assets for PC VR but more optimized assets for the Quest?
I already know of LOD, and I’ll be employing that, but I feel like there is more that I’m missing. There would probably be different shaders and materials depending on the platform.
Should I create two different projects and share the core assets, like blueprints, between them?

Yup.

I literally have no idea how to set my player as an enemy, so I won't have to have the player as neutral, so I can make them detect only enemies
rugged haven
Hi all, I am developing something for the marketplace and need a bit of help/advice with setting up a character mesh
The mesh has several parts, submeshes all riged to the same skeleton and I want to hide some parts here and there to effectively make a customised character, is it possible?
For example hiding a scarf or a jacket
jolly slate
Many many many different ways of hiding and showing clothes and such on characters
Usually depends on the game and the devs needs.
rugged haven
Okay so I'm exporting ALL the meshes out as one skinned mesh, and each submesh has it's own name. I import into UE4 as one skeletal mesh but can no longer see the submeshes...
That's the core of my issue really
jolly slate
Ah yeah that's not really how that is usually done!
Typically you'll want to export each clothing piece as its own mesh
As long as it inherits from the same skeleton, animations and all that fancy stuff will still line up fine
rugged haven
Damn, Unity does this so well too...shame that
I understand though, no probs, I know what I must do.
regal radish
Say im ready to start building levels for a game what do you use? geometry to block out the layout.. then blender made stuff like a building. im such a noob
jolly slate
The eternal physics question, how TO make things heavier! Basically, you just kind of have to increase the world gravity.
Depends entirely on the game.
Are you building your levels with the intention of using modular design? Or will they be separate large pieces of mesh?
ripe flax
Hey folks. I am trying to build a door working with physics constraints in UE4, it's going to be for VR to open it with the "motion controllers". However I am having some weird issue, with the door automatically "swinging" back in place. I assume it has something to do with how the physics constraints are designed, but is there a way to turn it off? 🤔
regal radish
basically would i create a building out of geometry and texture it with say quixel or build and texture in blender then export it into ue4 for my level @jolly slate
which is the proper way
jolly slate
You're going to texture it using a company? 😮
Alright well uhm, doesn't exactly answer the question but let's go!
So typically you'd want to start by blocking your level out, using either simple greyboxes or BSP
regal radish
no the quixel 10k + textures and assets they just released
jolly slate
Once you've got your gameplay laid out, you replace the greyboxing with meshes.
Ah, you mean Megascans 😛
regal radish
ye sry lol
jolly slate
I'd suggest you sit down and spend some time googling resources on "Modular environment art" for 3D modeling
This is the way most games typically construct their levels these days.

Guys, how do I set players as enemy for AI use?
I want senses to only detect enemies
Or at least to make the AIs themselves teammates
So they don't hit each other, and stuff

Hm, the weird thing about it is that it looks like it's integrated, since the AI senses have the option to detect enemy, neutral, and teammates
But I never seen a simple option in blueprint, or on characters
craggy kraken
@plush yew sorry but not sure anything can trump the classic that is RuneScape 😂😂
plush yew
I looked it up on the internet, but, they talk about using that as a main thing for even moving to the player
Though, I already have it set it as moving to targetlocation, that is kind of universal for detecting where the ai should go
@craggy kraken
runescape is so good i know xD i am going to have a hard time not let it be like runescape

hey! quick question, how can i see what's going on in-game from the free-camera of the viewport?
plush yew
@merry gazelle but how to find location of component after that
jolly slate
@wispy raven just unposses the character, every time you start playing in editor a little message will pop up on the top left telling you how to :3
Or just chose "Simulate" instead of play
wispy raven
thanks, but i'm just trying to understand why the camera clips in a weird way
jolly slate
For that you'll want to set up a second viewport or like a rendertarget
Or just, unposses like I said, the camera actor will still be where it was when it started clipping so you should be able to tell what's going wrong.
plush yew
Hey! I have a problem. I try retargetting animations, but all times i have crash:

i tried to unpossess, the camera doesn't show up

Well camera components arn't visible ingame, you'll have to select it via the outliner

@plush yew

I mean you could just untick "hidden in game" on the camera too, but the outliner should be all you need
merry gazelle
cool, sometimes you just need to delete the node and replace it with the same thing and it'll work
plush yew
umm not workin
merry gazelle
maybe try getting the location of a different component. Or try using a different actor with different components. If those work you can figure out if it's just that "ball" component
plush yew
@merry gazelle maybe it thinks that this ball component should be in enemy pawn
it doesnt understand that ball is part of ball actor
merry gazelle
yeah is the ball actor a child of enemy?
or nothing to do with it
You could try renaming the components too
plush yew
its not child
merry gazelle
I'm not sure 🙃

what does this mean
this enemy should follow ball component that is from ball actor

show them what you are trying to do. Where is the component you want, what class is it in and what does the components look like

that is a screenshot of the content browser, what does the blueprint look like. what component are you trying to get?

grim ore
do you know what a component is?

component is part of actor at this point
i think
this blueprint is from enemy
enemy needs to follow component from actor
merry gazelle
he means the list on the left with the mesh and stuff
grim ore
I think he is just confused on what he wants to do.

it needs to follow component
not actor because ball component has physics
enemy needs to follow this
@grim ore @merry gazelle someone help. It shouldnt be hard to fix

I would try adding an arrow component into the ball actor. Then get > arrow component > get location

Hello together. I want to use a procedural foliage volumen. But i want to simulate it at runtime. Did anyone know something about that?
wary wave
"why is it so hard to tell just how to make this fk pawn follow component from other actor"
- it's not. It's not even a 10 minute job, but you keep stubbornly refusing to actually learn how to use the tools and keep posting in here over and over again, but the thing is, you don't know enough to understand what people are saying when they try to help. To reiterate what I said yesterday (or was it the day before?) - go away and follow some basic tutorials somewhere, and learn the absolute basics, then come back to what you're doing.
Despite the idea that monkeys with typewriters will eventually through sheer persistence write the complete works of Shakespeare, randomly mashing nodes together until they work isn't going to get you anywhere - you're literally wasting your own time when it would be so much faster to actually learn.
@inland kettle - what do you mean simulate at run time?
inland kettle
you can press resimulate in the editor to spawn the foliage. i want to do this at runtime
you can geht the foliage spawner and then the simulate function. but it does nothing 😦
wary wave
Pretty sure it's an editor tool, so it will never be useable at run time
all that stuff is literally compiled out
