abstract relic
Again, dismissing input
autumn crystal
when you have so many people telling you that something cant be done then you do it, really makes you upset
abstract relic
You've proved my point. I wish you luck, it's going to be a tough road.
normal burrow
you do ask a lot of questions though, and when we give you advice you just kinda have your mind made up before hand it would seem. its not worth making it the subject of the discord like it is right now really.
CranzEstebogen gave you some good advice imo, would reconsider what they said
vague sable
is there a date for when the next UE4 update drops?
maiden swift
This week is all we know.
vivid narwhal
Everyone here who helps is doing it for free. When you dismiss people or their input, they will blacklist you. If you do that in the industry you will also find yourself blacklisted from many jobs, due to how small this industry really is
When we give you help and tell you something can't be done but you find some janky backdoor way around it, then good for you. However don't then make us out to be villains for trying to help and explain things to you. You'll cut off many relationships that way.
The attitude of "There's always a way" is fine to have, but when you clash with people because you decide what they're telling you -for free- is not what you want to hear, those people will stop helping you in the future.
normal burrow
another preview release?
maiden swift
Nope, 4.24 stable.
🙂
At least that's what they said on the Twitch stream last Thursday.
vivid narwhal
Heh. I changed a float to a text and now my entire combat system isn't working. OOOF.
autumn crystal
ill join underneath another name and start all over
abstract relic
Tell that to Crusher or whatever he was originally called 😛
grim juniper
Didn't they say Chaos is planned to be released and the default physics engine in 4.25?
I didn't think it'd come that soon
Unless they meant just the destruction stuff
normal burrow
I would be surprised if it's that soon too
plush yew
Can anyone help me getting started on how to build terrain?
abstract relic
You can use the in editor landscape tool or use 3rd party tools such as Gaia, Worldmachine, etc
any you have in mind?
maiden swift
@grim juniper You're correct. I was just saying 4.24 is coming out this week.
plush yew
@abstract relic I looked at some and they costed money
I was going to try to use blender
grim juniper
Yeah, I was kind of throwing that out there unrelated
maiden swift
Ah OK. 🙂
abstract relic
OH
maiden swift
I thought it was related because you said "I didn't think it'd come out that soon"
grim juniper
I'm super pumped for the new landscape stuff and polygon modeling tools
abstract relic
look into phy's Voxelplugin too. He has a free version if you want to give that a go
plush yew
@abstract relic Is that a software?
normal burrow
Oh yea i was talking about making chaos default in 4.25 pfist
normal burrow
and yes phy's voxel plugin is magic
abstract relic
Indeed, love making caves with it
normal burrow
scroll down on the site
looks like the gumroad download is what you want for the free version
kindred viper
@vivid narwhal d0h ! 😄 least its sorted now gg 🙂
plush yew
Ok
vivid narwhal
@kindred viper if I carried on testing with my gamepad instead of the keyboard I would have never noticed I double bound a key. This is why you use action inputs!
plush yew
I just download the plugin right?
kindred viper
yeah I only use direct keys for debugging really. Just cuz im too lazy to enter it into the config
normal burrow

Thx
jolly slate
Hey evening folks!
What is the editor setting called that lets the game run even when not focused in the editor?
Forgot the name of it and can't find it for the life of me.
normal burrow
the full speed one?
jolly slate
Aaah no sorry I found it! Realised it was audio specific.
Just to prevent audio from not playing when the editor window is not focused
brave lark
not sure what channel to ask, but I would like to use the frustum as collision detection. or possibly I would like to ray trace at the corners of a players screen along the line of which they can see
how do I go about this
vivid narwhal
before I do it this ugly way, is there a cleaner way to clear every array in a strut
manic pawn
put a make [that struct] node and assign it
vivid narwhal
Sweet, thanks!
normal burrow
jack is it a blueprint struct?
vivid narwhal
yeah
normal burrow
kewl
nevermind then
that wouldn't work with native structs was the jist of what i was gonna say otherwise lol
vivid narwhal
so if I "Make Strut" and leave it empty it should clear it? So when I add stuff to Combo Breaker and then add stuff to #2 I have to make sure i'm adding 1 and 2?
normal burrow
leaving it empty should give you defaults i think?
vivid narwhal
Okay so I just make sure I clear defaults
normal burrow
hm zeb would that be defaults or just zeroed?
either way jack yeah if defaults are clear or if it just inits with empties/zeroed data then you are fine
vivid narwhal
welp now the boring task of renaming 100 assets
normal burrow
when you want to pick up editor python
manic pawn
it would use defaults
vivid narwhal
Better off clearing it then
so if you put nothing in the make strut it props up an invalid error
normal burrow
any more information on this invalid error?
manic pawn
eh probably because it has arrays in it
you might have to plug a "make array" node in each 
vivid narwhal
yeah, it basically says "invalid need anything other than (none)" so you gotta plug in a blank "make array" node
normal burrow
can you set defaults for array members?
vivid narwhal
you could just pull off the animation strut, break it, then link each array into make strut
manic pawn
I'm not sure if the break struct node actually gives you references
otherwise that isn't going to do anything
normal burrow
it does only if its not native zeb
this has been my findings anyways
native structs you need to use set members on x
which isn't a by ref thing
manic pawn
this engine works in mysterious ways
normal burrow
mystery
silly cause you cant go beyond one level of depth with those set member functions though
halcyon flame
@p@t I've cleaned up all of my Div0s, but the issue persists
do you mind if I just list various symptoms that seem to surround it, and perhaps you will have an idea of how to solve it?
vivid narwhal
What's the issue dingoman
halcyon flame
total PhysX freeze,
vivid narwhal
sorry that's beyond me
halcyon flame
resulting in -nan(ind) for center of mass and velocity
meant to tag @normal burrow
normal burrow
hm
vivid narwhal
P@t's the hero!
normal burrow
what physics things are you doing? are you setting mass or scaling inertia tensor? a bit at a loss how your CoM is nan
halcyon flame
no changes to mass or inertia tensor
that I know of. definitely not doing that via node
let me search inertia tensor just to be sure
no inertia tensor
normal burrow
attaching anything to the primitives?
halcyon flame
the SM that is the root component on which physics is enabled has a ton of desendants
none of them have physics enabled
normal burrow
is the merge physics thing enabled on the root?
halcyon flame
I don't see a setting when I search merge on the component
normal burrow
Auto Weld sorry
halcyon flame
Auto Weld is true. it's grayed out under Replicate Physics to Autonomous Proxy
I do have two other child Static Mesh components which are not simulating physics which have aut weld true
normal burrow
just trying to think of things that would affect center of mass
halcyon flame
(replicate physics to autonomous proxy doesn't allow me to change auto weld on the root component)
normal burrow
are they using collision ?
halcyon flame
the root is using collision, nothing else is
I can say I'm adding a pretty intense amount of force to the root. it's a very fast 6dof racing game
and the freeze seems to happen when there is no angular momentum on the pawn
normal burrow
whats the mass of the thing?
halcyon flame
236.3220062kg
normal burrow
the no angular is a side effect of the nan on vel iirc
how many times are you applying force in a frame?
halcyon flame
I mean the issue seems to be prevented or precluded when there is almost any angular momentum
it varies, the gameplay update occurs 30x/s
let me check really quick
~6 or so?
normal burrow
without a center of mass what does it angle about though?
halcyon flame
COM is at 0,0,0
halcyon flame
COM = Vel = -nan(ind) when/after the issue arises
desert vault
My root project worked fine
halcyon flame
@desert vault reimport?
normal burrow
you are using force right and not accel?
halcyon flame
add impulse at location
desert vault
I just migrated each folder from my root project
halcyon flame
do you have an FBX for the gun? perhaps a reimport will fix it. or are tons of meshes having that issue?
desert vault
yea other mesh get this issue also
normal burrow
are you modifying CoM ?
desert vault
sr but what is CoM?
normal burrow
might want to just log all the vectors your sending to impulse. i'm guessing they are very large if not NaN/infinity
desert vault
I think no, I just migrate and my new project become like this
normal burrow
The Phenominal talking towards dingo but center of mass is where an object rotates about
halcyon flame
do you know what scale is unfriendly to PhysX?
normal burrow
hm?
normal burrow
look for near plane setting on camera
normal burrow
i think its the near plane on the frustum
desert vault
they are in same fov
I haven't changed anything yet
just migrate and get into this problem
normal burrow
sounds like its a project settings @desert vault
for the default "near clip plane"
halcyon flame
you mean Phenom on the project settings right?
normal burrow
yea my bad
halcyon flame
np
desert vault
yea I have some custom collision trace channels
should I add them first into my new project and remigrate my original into it?
normal burrow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oO79qxNnOfU @desert vault
thats up to you really
but the near plane is likely the issue
desert vault
yea they are different value
but after I set same as the original project this problem still occurs
desert vault
okay i'm trying
halcyon flame
would a 0.0 magnitude impulse matter?
normal burrow
don't think so dingoman
halcyon flame
139k is the largest I saw so far, but I was only looking at the last impulse in the array
let me make sure there aren't bigger ones
molten path
Hey is there a way to make my mouse appear in a level?
kindred viper
Is there anyway to interface to the Level objects of a map when streaming them in, ie. I stream a level in, get a Level Streaming Dynamic Instance ptr, but then I seem to have to rely on the map loading to setup data etc and it's detatched from the Level Streaming Dynamic Object, so correlating them is confusing me. I need each map loaded to know which Level Instance it is, so it can delete itself when needed.
normal burrow
and you said 30 a second? dingoman
molten path
I opened the level bp but i have no iidea on what to do
Found this online but its pretty old
Not sure it works like that anymore
halcyon flame
yes
molten path
yes
molten path
Cant find it
halcyon flame
what?
molten path
Cant connect target to return value
OH
I KNOW WHY
nvm
works
Thank you so much c:
halcyon flame
np
@normal burrow it looks like the typical large force is 78k (twice), 30 times/s. there are generally 5 forces applied per update or 150/s
I'm trying to repro the issue to see if anything funny pops up in the impulse array right before it happens. all the forces are currently applied at the COM.
normal burrow
any linear or angular damping?
halcyon flame
linear: .1
angular: 2.25
normal burrow
remove the angular daming as a test (0.0)
halcyon flame
ok. I got a repro and am digging through my new logs for the moment
halcyon flame
not seeing anything here
odd that the first two are still pulling a real value for COM
normal burrow
try logging velocity before and after the impulses as well
way this is looking though, you likely want to lower the mass scale on things
but yea printing vel before and after of the root, this would be good information
halcyon flame
let me do that
I know it's just for a test but the angular damping is critical to how it controls, naturally
I'm not sure that the velocity is going to be too wild here
normal burrow
yea, well if removing the damping makes it error faster then we're likely dealing with numeric limits somewhere
halcyon flame
ok
let me try the vel print first
got it
brackets show one pass through my ApplyImpulseArray macro
and I guess that's between physics updates since the velocity is unchanged
interestingly I'm not seeing velocity as -nan(ind), although that was from printing the vector, not the length... nan,nan,nan might return length 0
I'm gonna try the angular damping
setting ang damping to 0.0 seemed to make the issue turn up much quicker
normal burrow
hm
halcyon flame
I'm setting a good amount of things based on angular damping though and I wasn't able to apply any turning during that run
normal burrow
were you always printing the magnitude of the vector passed to add impulse at location?
halcyon flame
in the past I was printing it as a vector instead of magnitude, and generally the flag is not ticked for it to print
normal burrow
kinda wonder if sqrt(nan) returns zero in blueprint land
halcyon flame
is that relevant to the COM and velocity becoming NaN?
normal burrow
hmm try setting the mass of your craft to override and 1.0
halcyon flame
and angular damping back to 2.25?
manic pawn
put a conditional data breakpoint on the com that triggers when it becomes nan
halcyon flame
how do you test for nan?
manic pawn
it should work, slowly
halcyon flame
@manic pawn what should work?
manic pawn
using a data breakpoint like that to figure out exactly where nan is written to it
normal burrow
blueprints have conditional breakpoints what?
manic pawn
you gotta do this in vs lol
jolly cairn
@quasi obsidian I never try to use unity but i do not believed unity is harder are less. I try other engine and that was much harder then UnrealEgnine. But true UE its not so easy how its look. Still there are many peoples who are abble to do something in 3 month. But I am shit. Also i have lots of skill around web. PHP is also some type of C language. UE4 very good peoples. You can do but. There are many games who peoples creating around many years. Something what peoples around web do not understand.
halcyon flame
I am a script child
jolly cairn
nan nots a number?
manic pawn
you can put data breakpoints on blueprint variables but that might be a bit 
if you never used vs before
normal burrow
yea nan is not a number so its never equal to itself, but its also not unequal to itself, its the opposite of what you compare with
vivid narwhal
I'm missing something.... I've enabled Root Motion and Anim First Frame on my animation, but when it plays it still slides the character back to the start position at the end
halcyon flame
issue reproduced with the lower mass scale
normal burrow
higher or lower velocity at that point dingoman?
dim plover
Could you simulate a conditional data breakpoint by checking on tick for when it's NaN, and then putting a breakpoint on that?
It wouldn't break where it changed, but... maybe a rough idea in this case.
halcyon flame
previously it was 6141
previously as in before 1kg mass
I could, but I don't think that would help ID where it was happening
I can put a bunch of checks during my gameplay update to see if it's happening in there. is there a more efficient way to check for nan than just printing it out?
jolly cairn
chariot have w wheel?
halcyon flame
@jolly cairn not this time 😁
jolly cairn
I saw one time situation that problem was in trying to not implement chasy and whell
Because physic was not implement nice.
And was wire error.
halcyon flame
@jolly cairn none of the other components have physics/collision enabled
jolly cairn
Its some clue.
modest bolt
I have a question
jolly cairn
Sometimes eu4 not performance very well so try to make its work in other why if you get wird location or out of map jumps.
modest bolt
I'm running into an issue with opening the mesh editor
it seems to open the window but it's unable to let me get into the mesh editor window
seems to be the blueprint editor too. I think it's all the editor windows
halcyon flame
does a window pop up at all?
jolly cairn
You want me to check that in my ue4?
halcyon flame
click the icon in the taskbar and make sure one isn't randomly popping up behind something?
modest bolt
I can't show the windows, but the 2nd window is just white
jolly cairn
Somewhere in UE is back to default layout?
modest bolt
can you elaborate @jolly cairn
halcyon flame
can't open the window?
modest bolt
nope
halcyon flame
@normal burrow I should mention that I also apply an angular impulse array
vivid narwhal
@jolly cairn
flat idol
@modest bolt project has local settings, you can try exit editor, delete this saved/config folder, and run editor again, it may restore everything to base editor settings. worth make a copy of the folder before delete just in case dont help.
jolly cairn
@modest bolt maybe try to use reset default layout?
flat idol
Hmm that menu item could work too i guess
modest bolt
how do I do that again?
halcyon flame
sadly the COM is being set to NaN outside of my gameplay update
vivid narwhal
it's on the "Window" drop down to reset layout
modest bolt
and then I'll try the folder if it doesn't work
jolly cairn
ytry jack solution
modest bolt
waiting on if it works
jolly cairn
I need more caffe 🙂 @halcyon flame I'am happy with you.
vivid narwhal
I assume if there's no root motion baked into the animation then "EnableRootMotion" won't work
halcyon flame
I'm trying to be happy
jolly cairn
@halcyon flame I wish you good lack 🙂
halcyon flame
@normal burrow before you're gone, can you elucidate the significance of the 0.0 angular damping causing the issue much faster?
jolly cairn
angular in js? If i write next @plush yew nothing usefully i move his problem up out of note
reef aspen
anyone know how to scale a particle effect that is triggered in a Timed Anim Notify? The scale parameter is there for non-timed particles but not for timed. Any help would be amazing
halcyon flame
@jolly cairn this isn't related to AngularJS
plush yew
can someone please help me?
halcyon flame
@plush yew sorry g, I don't know much about mats/baking. you not finding anything on Google?
plush yew
no
halcyon flame
can you markup your ss and show us where light isn't on materials? also there is a graphics channel
quasi obsidian
@jolly cairn thanks for the info, and even though I know web related stuff I do know that a game would take a long time.
normal burrow
Reason I asked about damping was because 2.25 is kinda high
halcyon flame
really? it feels a bit floaty
flat idol
linear damping of 1.0 would disable gravity i expect
normal burrow
Yea relying on it to stop turning that much is a bit more than what it’s meant to
But don’t think that’s the issue anymore
I think it’s just that your spinning too fast
The damping slows you down
So it’s probably why it’s more stable
halcyon flame
something interesting is happening with the respawn actually
@plush yew I don't know which materials are metallic and where shadows aren't showing. can you markup?
plush yew
You can see the shadows on the ground
But in the first image there are no shadows
those last two images have shadows
but shadows appear on stationary or dynamic lights
halcyon flame
so the first image should have shadows. if you put that material in the second or third scene do you get the same issue?
plush yew
Yes
halcyon flame
can you show us that?
flat idol
There are dozens of settings which cause the baked light to malfunction, look around mostly in the mesh editor. Scale of lightmap etc.
There are documentations on epic that could help figure things out
flat idol
light mode probably dynamic light only so it generate shadow
halcyon flame
when the pawn registers OnHit, it sends to the GameMode, which initiates crash/respawn if the pawn is at over 670°/s (or if impulse is >1,000,000).
could SetWorldTransform (Sweep false, Teleport false) have something to do with this issue?
the issue shows up in other places, and when there is no or minimal angular velocity
when it happened with 0.0 angular damping, I didn't have the ability to turn around at all, angular impulses only occurred by crashing
normal burrow
Teleport false means it calculates forces that result exactly at the target position iirc so yea
halcyon flame
normal burrow
That yeah
pulsar badge
Is anyone willing to help me make a masters material for my ground textures?
halcyon flame
after I "respawn" (quotes bc I'm just moving the pawn) typically with this version of the issue I throttle for ~1s then freeze
blissful trail
https://gyazo.com/a17d4c46634cb151b8ce79e99be9b197
is there an easier way to do this ?
halcyon flame
@pulsar badge maybe just download an asset? there are free ones out there I believe
brushify is getting some free assets right now
@blissful trail easier way to do what?
and an easier way than what?
blissful trail
im trying to get the player rotate when going up ramps
flat idol
rotating a walking character capsule is generally leads to issues
halcyon flame
@blissful trail it's not really immersive since people rotate their heads on any incline
but easier than what?
flat idol
he was proably hoping for a checkbox to enable and make all camera work like this
pulsar badge
@halcyon flame I’m trying to have couple of materials from quixel but I’m not doing to well
flat idol
but it will require some math and tracing, mesh evaluation (normals) then apply offsets to camera to mimic the behavior. but don't roll/pitch character capsule thats bad idea
halcyon flame
@blissful trail if you're really set on it trace from the character location and get the normal
flat idol
@plush yew correct all levels must have at least 1 this is in the docs too among many useful tips and debug screens you can use to optimize the scene.
halcyon flame
@pulsar badge there are hours of new YT tutorials on Quixel + Unreal
plush yew
Can you PM me the documentation for this please? Thanks
I dont know which one to look at
pulsar badge
@halcyon flame ya Ik I just can’t figure out the master
flat idol
No i don't recall which but it shouldnt take more than 30 minutes to read all relevant in docs. The docs are pretty short you know :)
halcyon flame
@flat idol what docs are you referring to specifically?
flat idol
general documentation of unreal engine
plush yew
Okay got it
flat idol
worth to read at least once
plush yew
Yeah I need to study this stuff obviously
I used to do texturing on my scenes alot differently
So I wasnt used to the normal PBR setup
normal burrow
Teleport is probably what you want dingoman. Would print the entire vector of the impulse though. Magnitude only might be misleading
halcyon flame
ok. they're all absolute impulses
I'll try teleport, but notably this issue popped up from time to time before the respawning thing.
jolly cairn
Its possible to change time setup in the why when i write 1 second in blue print its 2 second. Blue Print use second as a time?
halcyon flame
@jolly cairn rephrase
jolly cairn
In my game 1 second is more like 2 second.
halcyon flame
if you print out get time seconds on tick it doesn't pass properly? have you set time dilation somewhere?
jolly cairn
Its really more like 1 sec its 2 sec i print something for 1 second and created time line for 1 second but its like two second.
halcyon flame
you're saying if you print string with duration of 1 it seems to stay up for 2 seconds?
jolly cairn
I think i am tired.
But i really fell 1 sec in game debugging in editor its slower.
Crap i'am tired Any why 😄 so funny
normal burrow
Sleep is important lol
halcyon flame
can you chat for a bit on this angular damping
you're saying my AD is too high, but at the same time that things are spinning too fast. high AD = things not spinning that fast... no?
or do I just need to scale down my AD and my forces until I have the same effects?
somehow it feels very floaty how it is now
normal burrow
Yeah what I meant was that high of ad would mean lots of force
halcyon flame
ok
not entirely sure how I got to that value in the first place
but iirc lower values were just out of control, higher values were too stiff
I'm trying to get that good feeling like you're in space, like a space man or a ship. it floats a bit after you stop applying torque (and I know, in actual space you would keep spinning indefinitely)
normal burrow
It’s okay though it’s just would seem like your relying on it to brake
jolly cairn
@halcyon flame Can you on physic and move something by this whey?
halcyon flame
@jolly cairn don't mean to be rude but I have no idea what you mean
I am, yeah, for angular movement.
jolly cairn
You moving some abject and transform that in space?
halcyon flame
should I just be applying my own angular damping all the time manually?
normal burrow
Have you tried regular add impulse?
jolly cairn
Maybe you get some wird situation by
halcyon flame
@jolly cairn I'm not setting transform, just adding impulses and angular impulses
normal burrow
Physx rigidbody yeah
halcyon flame
@normal burrow as opposed to add angular impulse?
or as opposed to add impulse at loc?
halcyon flame
I haven't. previously I was applying the force at thruster location
let me see if I can repro with that node change
normal burrow
Yeah it would be fundamentally the same as applying directly at center of mass
But might produce a difference if something else is off in the blueprint
halcyon flame
all of my impulses are currently @ CoM
normal burrow
Yea see if it’s an issue without point
halcyon flame
issue repro'd
normal burrow
If you want truly stable forces though you’d want to use force and not impulse
normal burrow
Hm fairly normal thing when nan is around
halcyon flame
do you think impulse vs force could be the root of the problem?
I'm mostly curious why the ensure wasn't tripping before
normal burrow
Thing is that they are fundamentally different things
To drive by force or acceleration is gonna take more time to get used to but yes physx deals with this much better than impulse which is this strange velocity and mass thing
halcyon flame
I was under the impression that I could simply convert between the two by factoring in the time for impulse
like iirc for the force -> impulse conversion I just *(1/30)
in my case
normal burrow
Force is something you apply every single frame and is not dependent on frame time (in theory)
halcyon flame
I thought I was accomplishing the same thing by adding a discrete impulse 30x/s
halcyon flame
you think changing to add force has a good chance of fixing this?
normal burrow
Depends on what’s making the nan
halcyon flame
right. let me try add force at loc
wait
it says add force should be called every frame
normal burrow
Impulses are much more likely to throw things into chaos though and it sounds likely that this is what’s happening
It should be yes
halcyon flame
so I need to move this to tick and stop clearing my array then clear it during my gameplay update?
normal burrow
If you call add force 0,0,980 every frame
halcyon flame
shiiiid
normal burrow
Your craft will perfectly be without gravity
(With accel)
Accel flag just takes mass out
Multiplies whatever you send by mass
vivid narwhal
halcyon flame
before I dive into the (manageable) amount of changes to make this happen, let me confirm my plan with you since I've never used this node before
vivid narwhal
Will this return the same random int for both nodes
halcyon flame
relative to AddImpulseAtLocation,
I need to factor out the mass and the update duration
and then apply the array every frame without clearing it,
then clear it and rebuild it during the gameplay update
this shouldn't cause issues, right?
@vivid narwhal just make a local variable if you're in a fn
normal burrow
Dunno what array you speak of
halcyon flame
I have an array of impulses
normal burrow
But yea apply forces everyframe
halcyon flame
soon to be forces
normal burrow
Force +torque
halcyon flame
?
normal burrow
Torque is force for angles
halcyon flame
right, so switch the angular impulses over as well
halcyon flame
fingers are so crossed that this works correctly
does add torque factor in the moment of inertia?
halcyon flame
what do you mean? shouldn't it be exactly the same?
normal burrow
Neither does add angular impulse though
halcyon flame
a bit weird since force takes into account mass automatically
normal burrow
Only if you check box accel
halcyon flame
got it. AddForceAtLoc doesn't have that box.
normal burrow
Ah yeah. Add force does but yes just divide by mass to get acceleration
halcyon flame
I'm going to walk my dog, do you think you'll be online for a while?
halcyon flame
fingers are so crossed. well assuming this doesn't work (because like 10 other things haven't) I hope I can come back to you
you have been incredibly helpful. my project would've been grounded over a year ago if it weren't for people like you.
do you work for Epic or are you in the industry? I just don't understand how people get such deep knowledge of the engine
normal burrow
Nah just been doing it a long time. Not unreal specifically though
jolly cairn
How much time you spend in your first game? Alone?
@halcyon flame I think you will back as I am and try to help other peoples.
Sometimes i stay there just to watch I can answer.
UE have fantastic community.
Yesterday I was search about Mathew Wadstein and he get reword from epic by help.
p@t its very good he help me also he is great someone
really Mathew also
normal burrow
I worked alone for a long time and got little done. Hard to say how many hours lol
But it is probably easier for others
jolly cairn
So how much need to be spend to created something in ue?
jolly cairn
so 6 month you can created something constructive?
normal burrow
Would hope so but timing is hard to plan for lol

Generally i have simple plant just move forward. And I know its will work.
After 2 3 game i get more experience.
If its possible do not work alone.
But its little break me. Making games is new experience for me. I try to help other sometimes its possible that also learn me something. But really i am worry about speed of my progress. This is why I analyze other peoples history.
ripe saffron
I guess it depends on what you are trying to make
jolly cairn
I still write warry incorrect English or you its possible to read?
ripe saffron
Don't know about others, but I can understand your English.
jolly cairn
@ripe saffron Yep I think this same but 2d game i do now its not hard and other 3d project was also not so complicated.
Any why I try to ask you about something they are some price of mathematic equations.
ripe saffron
well I am on my first game... its been a year and half now. I am alone.
jolly cairn
Like (logic like == xor or) + - ++ * 00.10 <- 01.00 / sin cos
ripe saffron
full time nearly a year
jolly cairn
@ripe saffron If you not lie its make me happy so do something in 1 month its almost impossible for first game?
Special using potencial of ue4
Like (logic like == xor or) + - ++ * 00.10 <- 01.00 / sin cos What have higher cost for processor. This order is quite correct?
ripe saffron
I honestly couldn't say ... I aim quite big for my first game but I do have lots of experience in 3d
thin tendon
I'm on my first game. Second engine for the game. Been Full-time for a year. I reckon I got at least another 3 years before its done
jolly cairn
But we can believed something can spend more time then we think.
ripe saffron
haha ...not sure I still believe. I am hoping another year but that could easily become 2
jolly cairn
In not looking in this view so bad. Generally I not playing in nothing now i just work on progress
ripe saffron
last game I played was resident evil 2 remake ...before that dark souls 3. I used to play a lot of games, but not since I started making my own game.
ripe saffron
A bit of exercise but thats it
thin tendon
I experienced the same thing. I used to play a new game every week. Since starting my own game. I only get to play Fallout 4 on weekends for an hour or 2
jolly cairn
Form my experiment have a lot o fresh oxygen really help.
ripe saffron
I agree
jolly cairn
After change my life stile i was very progressive.
But that was cost a lots of time. I have very helfty life. And i was doing more then other weak then in month.
But that was time ago no i have money and situation and really want back to this flow.
ripe saffron
For me it changes...some months I seem to be flying and others seem to get nowhere
I think its just the way it is
jolly cairn
@ripe saffron Yes maybe better do break and go gym. Its more refresh then do games.
For me is quite festinated how bad peoples treat programmer. Most think are very hard. How to stick in progress in three years on something what can end bad then close your eye and do again after 5 try stand on right level.
And more i know peoples more i know i am not alone.
But i planted shorter time or just join to other peoples.
ripe saffron
I just wont quit. If it doesn't work then so be it but I will at least finish.
jolly cairn
If something spend more then 1 year should be done in more peoples.
I think if is in c++ you get better skill also you can use python
thin tendon
Motivation is the hardest part of being indie. Thats why if you are indie don't follow trends and work on passion projects. Its easier to stay motivated
jolly cairn
Or rapped that mistake 10 time.
When you running around you will learn how to fast run.
I think when you fell how much time you spend in some games you can understand you was able do do something in your live.
and most peoples will be lived more then +10 year. I hear ~Noch this man from Minecraft he is addicted now by cocaine?
Stay be happy. All your success can be in progress.
Ok back to coding at least I was not able to help if that motivated someone its also something. I think my point is right. But I deep believed stay in max 1 year if that is not for progress.

If I migrate a level, will it also migrate associated assets?

Is there a way to get it to automatically know what should be associated and bring it across?

When you click migrate it lists you everything it will export

I am not sure if it is the right place to ask, but is there a way to bypass smoothframe cap in packaged development project? I know there is some console command but just can't find it. It was something that allows runtime fps change.

There's a bunch of CVars for that, and you can disable it in project settings

so forcing anisotropic filtering to 16x or forcing mlaa through nvidia control panel causes it

hi! can you help me to fix my camera. very new in UE4.. so problem is ... i create camera with spring arm but when hit play it is doesn't show anything from this camera

I wonder why my grass gradient wind works correct when i drag the mesh on the landscape but not working with gradient when i use it with the foliage tool, it works only with the default settings like there is no gradient when used with the foliage tool ???

@dreamy talon why it should show?
dreamy talon
@next badger
dreamy talon
im very new in UE4 can you guide where i can set it up please?
next badger
dreamy talon
@next badger let me check it thank you
next badger
afaik ue4 should set camera as active by default if that's the first camera of the posessed pawn
dreamy talon
yes i have camera before and it is was working fine.. but then i though i want to creat better camera position and stuff.. i deleted camera before and then create.. then everything got mess up
next badger
Player controller has a variable, to disable automatic switching
AutoManageActiveCameraTarget
but by default it's enabled.
dark rune
anyway I can have a player always keep an inventory and can bring it across servers? its for a survival game
next badger
Yes. It's not a great idea if servers won't manage it.
Since this item will be loaded from player's local profile.
dreamy talon
@next badger where i can adjust this parametr AutoManageActiveCamera?
next badger
in player controller

it is in the Car BLuePrint?

Ultimately if you're working on large projects you will need to use your own hosting
Most developers use Perforce through their own server
next badger
@dreamy talon in the player controller BP
i'm not sure you even need one if you have no custom PC
dreamy talon
@next badger well i dont have it i have a car only , no player
next badger
it's a class name...
dreamy talon
let me check please
next badger
dreamy talon
thats what i have there
next badger
@lament cloak as Stranger said...you better to host own p4 server
@dreamy talon yep, that's a default one, it has auto camera management enabled
so ue will switch to new camera on posession
dreamy talon
@next badger so then why it is not shows my only camera. it is playhing from some another camera what i dont have
next badger
well, you need to check why it spawns a new camera
dreamy talon
next badger
F8 is hotkey to unposess the pawn while you play
then use outliner to find the cam was used
dreamy talon
let me check it right now
yes it is looks like it is using this camera , i not need it how i can switch for my caemra what i installed in Car BLuePrint?
alpine wigeon
you need to switch to it it should be in the article linked above
if it is in the same actor you just need to activate, if it is in different actor you got other options
but in general get a ref to it and activate
next badger
Camera manager is not the camera
dreamy talon
@next badger ah i see. so what my next step should be? because i don't see any camera in there. not my not other..
@alpine wigeon i trying to do that but cant find Create References to selected Actors
alpine wigeon
because that is only for level blueprint
you need to get a reference to it in some other way, like on begin play get all actors of your camera class and just live with the cost of it 🙂
dreamy talon
so again i have camera connected to the Sping arm. and it is only 1 camera .. and it is somehow doesn't detected automatically?
alpine wigeon
or if it is a car you are getting into you should get a reference to it when you get into it
on the camera search for activate
and make sure it is selected

Is there a tutorial on how to make a world that will save itself in a multiplayer survival game environment

No, probably not. This is fairly advanced stuff and a tutorial on that would essentially be a tutorial on years of work.
You need to look for a tutorial on game saves, a tutorial on multiplayer, and try blending these in your survival game

damn. alright noted

I say this a lot here but tutorials are always a few years late to the knowledge, they're focused, they're small

oblique tangle
Is it possible to stop the add force node from adding to my overall player's velocity? For instance, I have a swing boost set up where if my player presses a button while swinging it adds an AddForce to their Forward Vector multiplied by a float, but this can sometimes result in speeds that are just too fast for my liking. Is there any way to change this where the swing boost just simply gives a push? Similar to the gif below
rotund scroll
@oblique tangle set velocity and +=?
serene birch
invertely scale the force depending on the current velocity I guess
oblique tangle
@rotund scroll Set velocity? Could you elaborate please (: bit confused
wise stone
Can I make a great looking mini-game without paying for anything?
honest vale
probably not
rotund scroll
@oblique tangle get velocity of your character, add however much extra velocity you want, add them together and set them as the velocity of your character
misty creek
Depends on what you can make yourself
And the amount of time you are willing to invest
And your skill level
wise stone
So its not impossible
oblique tangle
@rotund scroll Wouldn't that just give me the same effect that I already have now?
misty creek
I wouldn't say it is impossible, it won't be easy though.
rotund scroll
@oblique tangle ah my bad
you can clamp it by using a select vector
and a bool
or rather, no bool
compare the velocity and if it's above a certain amount, clamp it at that amount
if you want more control you could multiply by a curve value

If you're working on something 2D and small than yeah

Is there methods to optimize and make the engine lighter?

No

@plush yew now you're just pushing it. I have 32 and it usually uses around 6

I have a 5 years old rig 🤔 Here's to hope this will survive what I want to make

how do I update?
scenic snow
yeah try using 4.8 Unreal
plush yew
@maiden swift
fervent sigil
@wise stone we're wondering that too. I don't seem to find it in the launcher at the moment
plush yew
Since our project isnt for consumer use, we usually go above and beyond with how we do our lighting and rendering rigs for the levels
So is it basically testing related stuff and beta stuff ?
So lightmap resolutions are extremely high and the maps are massive
finite vortex
How can I get previous builds/source though?
scenic snow
from their github
maiden swift
@wise stone It's available in the launcher. If you're already running the launcher, you may need to restart.

OK

@maiden swift restarted it already. Trying to relogin now
yup, logout and login did it.

As I understand it, Megascans is free for UE4 users regardless of the version you're using. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Source 2 literally won't effect UE4 or Unity. Most ppl dab in multiple engines for various reasons. When it comes out I'll give it a try, but as for as choosing it over UE4 which I've been using since it was in subscription just to learn it. Nah.

@normal burrow Blender 2.8 already has Maya style inputs you can enable, I believe.

Yea, from maya people i've heard its lacking though
maiden swift
It's probably not exact then.

@scenic snow I suppose it makes sense if you are used to old versions, but industry standard inputs... it makes life so much easier for "the rest". 😄 I could finally pick up Blender now.
maiden swift
2.8 is a big improvement though.
normal burrow
I imagine ubisoft and all the big studios switching from autodesk have their own internal replacement blender already
yea it certainly is, i'm a big blender person
maiden swift
Makes Blender way more usable and streamlined for most people, and addresses many outstanding issues.

I've used mostly 2.8 for forming and basically models that have the new tools

I have same configuration(same ue4 version, same VS with same components) at home and everything works. When I try to create new proj, I get an error template path is not valid : invalid Folder : D:\UE4Vault\UE_4.22\Engine\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\SndbsTemplates ( 2) This folder doesn't exists (same at home)
google gives nothing
