Hi guys,little problem..newbie here..☺️
normal burrow

fierce forge
yes
true root
I created a fused character, exported to mixamo, saved and exported to the EU..it gave me a problem then I tried to change the parts of the character three times but in the EU I always have the same problems..someone knows what happens?
normal burrow
but if you've not fixed the error: do.
fierce forge
that's a adobe fuse character 😄

yes..is normal have this problem with adobe fuse char?ç

How do you increase the world bounds?
As soon as I get too far away from the origin (it's not even that far, about 100K units), collisions stop working and spawning sometimes doesn't happen with the warning "outside the world bounds"
stark marsh
ive got a fire obstacle in my game that damages the player, but it only damages them once, how would i make it so the fire damages the player for every second they are in it?
steady owl
@stark marsh you could do a sphere trace or overlap check once a second
stark marsh
how exactly?
steady owl
How are you calculating the damage in the first place?
Get all overlapping actors?
If so just run that code again
Once a second
stark marsh
its has a begin overlap
steady owl
Use the begin to only trigger the event
stark marsh
and my health is kept as a float
abstract relic
There’s something called the floating point problem Kyle. The further away from the world origin you are, the more imprecise calculations are. This is an issue for all game engines and 3D software have
steady owl
So the begin overlap would set the timer that'd call that function
fierce forge
@abstract relic i can't see the 3d widget too in standalone
steady owl
@abstract relic Yeah I thought it may be but it's really not that far away
Compared to games like fortnite or pubg
It's only a fraction of the distance
I'll just try and keep things in the bounds for now, thanks!
Maybe those games do origin rebasing!
But I heard that isn't suitable for MP just yet

how i can resolve the problem with the widget ?
normal burrow
the ones that are breaking your game, are from things not being exported to standalone. why they aren't exporting? probably because they cannot compile
if they are actually compiling then you've got some corrupt stuff in your project.
but it does not sound like they are compiling.
normal burrow
it takes you 2 minutes per blueprint?

him tried to help me with this problem and probably he can help me
wary wing
How does it look without the widget? Your video shows the camera inside the mesh, was it not like that before?
fierce forge
man that's the third person project without any modification just the widget
i have more unsolved problems with ue4 but nobody now how to solve it

I'm having a crash when I'm opening any type of skeletal mesh asset( such as the Third Person skeletal mesh), when I'm running UE 4.24.1, any way to diagnose this? My log has no mention of the crash, and the crash report client simply states "exception_access_violation".
fierce forge
i can't try it
digital badger
I'll try that, thanks!
fierce forge
because i need to edit the engine
digital badger
@fierce forge Can't you request source access on github?
hoary silo
When does chaos get officially released?
abstract relic
It’ll be awhile
And I doubt it’ll ever come with standard build of the engine (or at least requires installation of it to be enabled). It’s rather heavy
hoary silo
I guess that makes sens
sense*
@abstract relic are you having problems with the apex destruction?
abstract relic
I haven’t used apex destruction in about 2 years. I remember it was rather deprecated but that’s about it.

@normal burrow stop being so wholesome, you're too good for this place

@ y'all collision experts, what's a good way to use a character's mesh as collision instead of the capsule? just use a custom collision channel for the character and leave the capsule as is?
wary wing
"Instead of" in what respect?
rotund scroll
ignoring the capsule
wary wing
You almost certainly don't want to be using it for movement collisions
Do you mean for projectile hit detection or what?
wary wing
Ok sure, so queries
wary wing
I normally set my character meshes to be query only and respond to a few channels that the capsule ignores
Projectile for instance
wary wing
I have 4.24.1 open right at the moment, but there have been no changes in that respect since forever
rotund scroll
the reason I ask is because there is a bug where changing the collision preset to custom doesn't override project collision presets
wary wing
Ooh interesting
I do use presets for character meshes
In fact there's a built-in preset called CharacterMesh is there not?
rotund scroll
I've only seen Pawn
wary wing
In my last project I tweaked that one a bit to get it how I wanted it
rotund scroll
which is set up for both capsule and mesh from the beginning
wary wing
wary wing
CharacterMesh is the Pawn object type, but has different response settings
So things that collide with Pawn will collide (overlap) with it, so long as it is set to overlap with them
rotund scroll
I see, it's interesting that both were set to just Pawn in my case
wary wing
Are you using a template? Which one?
It probably didn't matter for anything the template was doing, at a guess
rotund scroll
TPS/BP
rotund scroll
in fairness it did seem like it was not default, but it's not something I've changed. I didn't want to mess with the preset options ever since I found that bug
but yeah okay that does answer my query, thanks
wary wing
Cool 🙂

Hello @slim sand ! I can tell you that is better you learn by watching specifcs tutorials about things that you want. This inventory tutorial is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81wnJaixBnQ&list=PLmKKTERcjTPKEPl0nk48Tpmj-iWmzqo_Q

Why are you doing it so difficult?

(sorry for my English i use google translate french to English beaucause i dont speack English i speack french).
I'm new to unreal engine to tell you everything.
I do this like this because I want to create an actore that will manage all the attacks of the character and I want to make sure that if we press a key (hence the imput action) that the character launches are attack.

VFX can be separate, but the actual damage logic, where should it be?
steep ferry
how can you tell me whats better
spark sonnet
It should look like its coming form the barrel but if its coming from the barrel it wont hit where you aim
steep ferry
@digital badger well theres also a possibility for it to go through wall
@spark sonnet he can easily fix that with velocity settings
spark sonnet
Are you using a physical bullet or line trace?
steep ferry
aight
spark sonnet
I see
steep ferry
you can easily do that then
you just have to put the traces end to the camera forward vector
digital badger
Just looking for more of a player opinion, rather than technical ability
digital badger
End at the camera, starting at the gun barrel? Surely that'll just hit the player
I'm probably going to go with, visually starting at the barrel, but gameplay-wise starting at the crosshair.
If combat sucks, I'll try gun barrel tracing

rancid lynx
which is cheaper, add impulse in a timeline or add impulse in a tick event? shouldnt they be the same ? how much cheaper is the timeline? why ?
if i want to rotate 1 clouds mesh every frame, wouldnt tick and timeline be the same cpu usage?
azure shore
Im terrible with event ticks, I put so much on them
rancid lynx
i started using manual time line activation with a random guess that its better for cpu usage but.. i dont understand how it could be lower cpu.
seems like less math if you just use a tick X_x
instead of timeline divisions on top of the "move it"
my ai use ticks set to 1 second activating timelines using add impulse. i dont like the idea of square nav meshes

yeah but then every time after that it has to be a double click

how do i get the velocity of a mesh that is attached to another mesh ? meshes with parents show a zero velocity if their parent is not moving.
my VR HMD has 2 controllers, if i hold a sword mesh that is attached to the controller, the velocity shows Zero for the component

Is it a singleplayer game? If so you could have the variables in a gameinstance and get them from there whenever you need them

Is there a way to get a word in a string by the index of it? Ex:
"Hello this is a test"
"Second line test"
And then if I want the third word of each line I would get:
"is"
"test"
plush yew
@spark sonnet Not out-of-the-box, you still need to implement Split(TEXT(" ")
rotund scroll
it's getting awfully close to regular expressiosn though
plush yew
Split Is fast and easy to use 🙂
at least, it's fast in the sense that you don't have to worry about learning regular expressions 😄
cursive salmon
Hi
spark sonnet
How would split work? The thing is the only thing the code will know is the word position, not which specific word
cursive salmon
How make a best score . Give me the code for make it
plush yew
@spark sonnet Exactly, you run a split while the string left over has a space on it, and put the first instance of what it finds in a TArray<FString>
cursive salmon
My method is don't works
plush yew
This way you end up with an array of five strings in your first line and three strings in your second line
and then you check to see if .Num() exceeds your index, and if it doesn't return whatever it founds
spark sonnet
I see. Thats a good solution, but that would only work for getting the third word,right? How would I get the fourth word?
plush yew
I had the project I didn't want to implement too many data tables so I wrote the simple method to collect the data from a CSV file, And I was using split without any problems
you check to see if .Num() exceeds your index
This means that your first example will return a but your second example would give you an error, As there is no index = 4 In the resulting string array
This is the code I was using to get the data from my CSV file
TArray<FString> ArrayofStrings; FString sToken; FString sRemain ="Hello this is a test"; while (sRemain.Contains(" ")) { sRemain.Split(TEXT(" "), &sToken, &sRemain); ArrayofStrings.Add(sToken); }
spark sonnet
Thank you very much @plush yew I have been trying to find an easy way to do this for a long time.
spark sonnet
I looked more into the code. I actually dont need the splitter. I could just get the 4th index instead

Hey people
how can I prevent my character from
stopping the movement at the moment I stop the input and instead gradually return to the blending animations until stop?
cause I have this walk->run blendspace that works awesome when moving
but when I stop moving
it just stops
and that feels and looks terrible
spark sonnet
If I understood you correct I have a solution in 2 sec
Change the interpolation time in the blendspace
Try setting it to 1 and see
@ornate ice
That is only gonna work if you have the idle stand inside the blendspace with walk and run

normal burrow
If it’s engine maybe you can choose it with version selector by right clicking uproject file
Yeah try this I suppose
swift spindle
while you can run the engine from an external drive.. there are basic things that windows needs installed
I'd not suggest you do this unless you know what your doing
better to install it fresh
normal burrow
Well engine doesn’t have much install links afaik
If it were launcher: for sure
You would want to run the prereqs installer though

@steep ferry in your condition to return to idle from equip, just use get time remaining ratio, drag off the float value and type <= and make the value .2 - if true, will go bacK to the other state, essentially having your animation play to the end before it changes

Is it possible curently to use multi-user editing over IP instead of LAN? I tried Googling it but got mixed answers so I'm not really sure
rain pier
Hey all, I have an issue I'm struggling with maybe someone can help. one of my datatable is acting strange. Explanation : when I change the "Character Display Name" in the row value it doesn't appear in the top bar, so its value isn't changed in game. If I change any other value (like character hardcoded name) it updates the CharacterDisplayName correctly, I can set the other value back to normal so that fixes the problem temporarily. However if I save, close and reopen the ditor, the characaterdisplayname goes back to having the same issue as in the picture. I'm guessing there are some in-engine shenaningans happening?
plush yew
@proven aurora IP instead of LAN? You mean WAN instead of LAN?
as in over the public Internet instead of local network?
proven aurora
Right, sorry, I'm not the most experienced when it comes to networking haha
plush yew
@proven aurora Well then, the answer is yes, you can! unfortunately, someone really needs to understand networking in order to implement it. Conceptually it's very easy to implement, but in real life you may need a network engineer to tinker with public DNS entries, NAT, Port forwarding and similar goodies. well, goodies for me at least :D
But don't be discouraged, because the bottom line is: yes, you can!

@upbeat tendon yes, in Windows you can create a symbolic link, that seems to be on C Drive but in reality can be anywhere else. This means that the folder still looks like C:\etc... But the actual data seats on D drive , or wherever

@plush yew thanks didn't know win10 could do symlinks
exotic thicket
I think symlinks have been around since Windows 2000 or so
but it's a super hidden feature :P
or actually I think it's since whenever they created NTFS because it's a feature of the filesystem
How do you actually better understand what the engine is doing when you do certain things? Do you just go read the source code?
For example I was just trying to figure out what the "set input mode to game" type things do, or how pausing the game affects input handling. None of which really have any documentation besides stating the obvious like "pauses the game" which is... entirely unhelpful
(I did figure out how to get it working the way I wanted but I keep running into this where I don't quite know for sure and things just seem to be working)
regal mulch
Yop, Source Code
exotic thicket
Okay guess that's what I'll have to do then... the documentation feels like a big weak link with UE tbh
The high level stuff is explained pretty well but a lot of this other stuff not really

I'm pretty sure I'm just doing something wrong and someone else knows what it is, but when after creating a custom player pawn, adding it to the map, pressing the play button to test the map doesn't let me control the player pawn on the map, instead it spawns a new on from the location of the view in the editor.

So I can use different montages based on the weapon.

is there something in twinstick shooter template that doesnt want me to spin

@dim plover I think that's something that would be best suited to creating a base weapon BP, then creating children BPs for each different weapon and assigning the different montages for each that way.

Anything that would alter previously init data or require history refresh

there is
I can't get the Init to work consistently though so I just moved everything to BeginPlay

Hey guys, Im working on my first game and ive hit a road block as im unsure how to do something or the system needed if there is one. So part of my game requiers the player to disarm a bomb. This needs to be done in a specific order or it will detonate. In my head and planning it looks like im going to be using a LOT of booleans, to check weather something has been completed. Would this be the best way to go or is there another solution which im not thinging about? Ill take any help I can.

If you want your UE4 game to run on a XBox, you need to get a XBox devkit, I don't know why this is unclear

hmm can you describe what you did recently to your project?

i assume when it says "the following modules are missing" it then says some module(s)?
vast fjord
yeah, it's the title of the project
normal burrow
you do have some c++ then?
normal burrow
i don't know enough about vs code, but if it can compile ue4, as HighTide suggested it sounds like this is what you need to do. Build your module.
If you don't have an sln to open
you right click the .uproject file and click Generate Visual Studio Project Files
and hope this opens in vs code i guess?

if you want to avoid the headaches
install visual studio 2019 community, and make sure the minimum required things in it's installer are checked

you can't just lower the skeletal mesh component Cranz?

I can but the IK should handle that, or am I misunderstanding something?

what i was trying to say earlier is vaei found some artificial additional offset
like its not just center of the capsule
rotund scroll
I did manually drop the mesh in my other implementation, but I don't think that's correct to do
normal burrow
I don't like that theres another transform to go through either but I actually do think its the proper thing to do. Like the capsule is what counts more than the mesh really. mesh just needs to be visually placed correctly
rotund scroll
I guess
normal burrow
if the mesh was animated in 0,0,0 == center of capsule i would think differently
rotund scroll
I'd love to see the implementation of someone who's proficient with this
normal burrow
Don't really expect there to be many options with it
its basically between starting with component offset or some other offset in anim nodes
Someone could set some strict rules on the animation authoring with the floor and how things work in component space
normal burrow
but not a real in depth thing one could work from really
did you read the thing i sent jayne?
