No texel density tools, shell alignment, straightening last time I checked
cloud cobalt
Sure you do
spiral burrow
Yeah I paid about 15k for my autodesk licenses and more and more of my guys are switching to blender anyway
cloud cobalt
And there's like 50 UV add-ons for more specific features too, most of them free
uncut vigil
@cloud cobalt let me send you a thread about it, hold on
cloud cobalt
At the end of the day for most artists it's about what your company uses
If you're doing indie / personal stuff, consider that you won't always have a student license and check what the free stuff does
If you're doing this for a living, it's a different calculation
uncut vigil
https://devtalk.blender.org/t/uv-editing/8847 so this is the problem
Its just wrong compared to the rest and it feels useless as this guy puts it
His addon helps
I really like the mark sharp/ seam, really useful as you model and plan ahead
cloud cobalt
I feel like most of these are most about comfort than features, tbf, but okay
uncut vigil
Yeah but its a huge time sink
cloud cobalt
Surprising that 2.8 didn't come with UV improvements really
uncut vigil
Why can't it be industry standard?
I'm looking for them in the next planned updates, but nothing so far
cloud cobalt
They've been rewriting most of Blender to be just that, to be fair, and I remember when it was 3Ds that couldn't unwrap a box without an external tool
But still, it should get some love
uncut vigil
You also dont lose anything from 3ds with blenders modifiers
lapis vine
I love modelling too, but its freaking broken with modifiers (eg pose).
waxen narwhal
Ok so I think I will get my educational 3ds and Maya licenses then and start investing some time this weekend to get used to the tool itself 🙂 Thank you for the detailed conversation about this topic
worldly mason
how can i run my damage function when the player overlaps my object and run it with a delay again until my player does not overlap
waxen narwhal
Anyone can recommend a good video tutorial / text tutorial from personal experience ? Otherwise I will just start browsing youtube and google 🙂
Oh I see it seems like autodesk themself provide tutorials
abstract relic
It's a trap! 😛
plush yew
@abstract relic hey, thanks again for the assist with the character yesterday, I got it working
lapis vine
lol, and we put so much effort to explain how good is Blender.
But I joke, use what you want. With time you will form personal opinion.
waxen narwhal
@lapis vine I will check out blender aswell since all tutorials I own on udemy are based on blender anyway. I used blender back in 2008 ? And I hated the UI compared to Cinema4D back then. But with 2.8 it looks pretty good imo 🙂
lapis vine
Yep, best is to try few tools, as most of them have trials. One of them will click for you.
waxen narwhal
I am kinda having trouble finding some "complete series" regarding 3ds Max and Maya atm anyway. I like complete series to learn tools and it seems like there is much more free content for blender since its open source
lapis vine
I wouldn't say so. Maya got a lot of paid tutz, Blender got many free ones. Maybe such is the dependency.
waxen narwhal
So I am currently kinda having trouble understanding what kinda of Usecase Maya and 3DS are used for. 3DS for design and Maya for Animation ? Is this correct ?
manic pawn
"complete series" would be like 10 years of material lol
waxen narwhal
So if I would say I need a tool to just create 3D assets and animations Maya would be enough ?
@manic pawn I meant something like a getting started with some kind of first demo project 🙂
uncut vigil
@waxen narwhal 3dsmax is used like 99% in archviz and rendering. ive seen a lot of studios use maya in games, and maya is also used a lot in film, vfx, animations
waxen narwhal
@uncut vigil Thank you 👍
rotund scroll
nowadays there is no real distinction between what they can achieve. maya has become the game industry standard, but max is often used in lieu by people who started using it
use whatever you're comfortable using, in the end it all exports to a FBX anyway @waxen narwhal
uncut vigil
I have a bunch of gifs about how good Maya is right here https://hristew.tumblr.com/
fathom mortar
so i have this. the first time that player left clicks it works. But after that it has to be a double click for some reason does anybody know how i can fix this?
heady saddle
@fathom mortar hard to tell without seeing more blueprints
fathom mortar
what other blueprints do you think you need to see? I'm quite new to UE4
heady saddle
what happens when sword attack is true?
fathom mortar
when sword attack is true it plays animation
and the delay makes it so that you cant just spam it
jovial pollen
Everyone here is "quite new to ue4" that's why you are asking.
Remove the delay
Try that
Actually hold on
That last sword attack
Remove that from the delay and put it to released
@fathom mortar
fathom mortar
like this @jovial pollen ?
jovial pollen
Yep
fathom mortar
now it doesnt play at all. looking at the nodes when the game is running, its as if the left mouse button node doesnt even realise that its being pressed
jovial pollen
Drag off the red node of the false sword attack and make a branch connect the white node to the front white node and attach the delay to the end white node of the branch
Brb
rotund scroll
@fathom mortar you did a delay at the end of the execution thread
that will do nothing
move the delay inbetween released and the boolean set to false
heady saddle
@fathom mortar here's how I did delay, add it on the weapon itself and let the player spam away
jovial pollen
Or watch Titanic Games's tutorial on animations. When I was starting out he helped a lot, his tutorials are really good. Very detailed. Very fast and smooth. I recommend you try watching one of his animation tutorials I think itll really help for what you're trying to do seen as animations can be very tricky @fathom mortar
fathom mortar
Ok I will try that thank you
storm burrow
Is there a way to mass import fbx static meshes without having to press OK on the dialog for each mesh?

No

I am working on ArchVis projects, and would like to set up a new template (I think thats what its called) essentially a blank framework for me to import my projects into. Ideally it would contain the basic project settings, as well as my customized archvis character, so that I can just pop open a copy of it, and its ready to import parts into. IM not really sure what its called, and as such cant do much searching for it online. Can someone please point me to an (ideally written) tutorial. or walk me through it?
cosmic panther
So ur wanting to merge your stuff into a blank template? @plush yew Not sure if I'm reading it right.
plush yew
What i want is a blank starting point with a properly set up character
and basic lighting and such
to save the work of creating those every time I start a new project
cosmic panther
So a new template you can select from
Okay let me set something up for you and ill show

Anyone know the cause why landscape editing/loading procedural generated heightmaps at runtime isn't supported yet? Is it a licensing/patent issue or what? I looked through the code and the implementation inside the editor is quite simple...
cosmic panther
@plush yew about to send you a PM on how to do it
golden wadi
thanks, oh another question, is possible to animate a character in the scene? (not in the animation window) because i need 2 characters interacting with each other, or intecacting with objects in the scene, and it's hard to do that in the animation window

no
i just opened a new project

turbid plover
Does it show the pop up saying it’s compiling shader’s?
vernal scarab
Hi all! I ran into a problem and I don't know what's the best channel to ask for this. I have an User Widget which extends from a custom c++ class.
In this c++ I override the NativeTick to do some logic on the widget.
For the Widget blueprint I've created a couple of animations that I will play from another blueprint, but they don't play!
It's seems that I can't use NativeTick and Play animation at the same time.
Has anyone encountered this issue? Is there a way to fix it?
turbid plover
I think it uses multiple threads to compile shader’s so that makes sense if it’s getting close to maxing your cpu
cosmic panther
turn the option shaders off
Shading to low. I have no problem with it but i know some people do
turbid plover
@vernal scarab widget animations use tick, probably nativetick, so if you override you probably need to figure out how to call animation updates on the widget with your override
drowsy turtle
what new has been added to 4.21.1?
turbid plover
If you disable tick on a widget for instance it won’t animate
vernal scarab
I figured that was the case!
turbid plover
So if you do some sleuthing I bet you can find the function it calls and just call it yourself to update animations again
vernal scarab
Thanks!

I had the same idea and tried it. Was a really bad idea 😂 But I am considering adding some slight movement for "idle" (when the player is maybe AFK) but a very tiny amount
cloud cobalt
It's almost okay if the aim is corrected for movement, to ensure you keep the cursor fixed in the absence of player input
But that only works for one pixel of the screen

pallid talon
Question - Is it possible to Alpha blend a static mesh's LOD between each other? For example, I have a billboard at LOD3, and low res mesh at LOD2. But the pop between 2 and 3 is obvious when zooming out. Can I blend this some how?
grave nebula
Nope. That would require setting back renderer two decades into the past, unfortunately. You can however use dithered LOD transition.
pallid talon
I'll look into dithered LOD transition, that sounds promising. Any tips you have on this method would be appreciated!
@grave nebula

jolly slate
Hey folks! How do you all handle scene management? AKA, loading different scenarios for the same environments.
Been working on a system of my own but was curious as to how the rest of you do it!
rapid stratus
Ok - I think I am UE4 4.24 bug magnet
All of my widgets went blank
Like textures are there - nothings missing and nothings corrupted
All the opacities and alphas correct
No animations
and even if I add a new image or anything to these widgets - they are invisible
I can create a brand new widget with no problems - but all of my old widgets are corrupted
jolly slate
I had a TON of issues with my widgets when converting to 2.24 too.
rapid stratus
well - im saying corrupted
jolly slate
Engine started crashing due to certain widgets, and others caused major hitches where they hadn't before
rapid stratus
they function just don't appear anywhere
is there any solution?
I need to post an update in 2 hours
jolly slate
Our solution was re-creating much of our work sadly..
rapid stratus
No chance I will re-create it all in 2 hours
jolly slate
Basically a lot of back-end code in Slate which runs UMG happened
Files were moved around etc
And things just kind of seem to have gotten fucked up
rapid stratus
I haven't really moved anything around - in fact - yesterday everything worked and since yesterday - i changed or did nothing
jolly slate
Yeah we didn't move anything either, it's 4.24 that is different
jolly slate
Yeah no kidding, it caused a huge halt in our production and we're still trying to debug it
We've managed to get rid of the crashing but the long hitches are still around
rapid stratus
woow
I should had never upgraded my project to 4.24
😄
I never had major issues with 4.23
jolly slate
Same, same
We're super reliant on the 3D text added in 24 though so we can't go back lol
rapid stratus
Ok
I actually found a better way to solve it 😄
just tried to migrate couple of widgets to a blank project and then migrate them back - and well - they work again

Anyone familiar with this crash "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"? Happens when i open a specific material, then open a material function used in that material, then go back to the original material after i compiled the function. Doesn't make much sense to me? Not something i can't work around by just opening the material function and edit it. But seems weird.
normal burrow
That is a generic fatal
Indicates trying to read or write memory to an invalid address
If you launch with visual studio
You’ll be able to see where it crashed if you’ve got the symbols installed
Which may help explain why it’s crashing
calm widget
I tried that, for a different crash. It said i was lacking a dll file trying to debug UE. I've never tried all this before so i don't really know what i'm doing.
normal burrow
4.24?
calm widget
Yes
normal burrow
One of these would be good.
calm widget
Sure thing, just thought i'd check, i'll wait for the crash too so i can see what the specific dll was. Might be a common mistake i'm making or something
normal burrow
Yeah, can certainly look into it yourself too
But crashes shouldn’t be invokable by user
So it would not be your fault

If I have materials set up on an FBX model from a previous version of Unreal, and I import the FBX into a newer version of Unreal, is there a way to preserve the material / texture network assignments?
gleaming narwhal
@vale silo Most of that information will become available during our keynote at GDC
fleet stirrup
Is there a way to export the shader network from, say, Unreal 4.21 and reapply it to a re-imported FBX model, in say, Unreal 4.24?
(assuming that the various parts of the FBX model are still named the same)
fleet stirrup
yes, material assignments, and the network of textures connected to those
normal burrow
you may be able to migrate the material from 4.21 to the 4.24 project
it'll take all the textures with it supposidly
fleet stirrup
That would be cool! So that's the right phrase to google for "migrating a material" in Unreal?

Hey guys i have a problem, since when im adding lerp to a pickup object so it lerps to the socket it just works once and doesnt work anymore until i restart the game
sweet relic
That graph 🤮

exotic thicket
I see so many people post graphs like that and it really makes me wonder how they make any sense out of it :D
abstract relic
Technically you’re not making sense of it in that case 😜
steep ferry
Well it depends lol
that pickup system was surely made by the mistakes and things like that method
normal burrow
this is a pickup system?
steep ferry
yeah
normal burrow
maybe you need to connect something to reverse to put it away?
steep ferry
nonono
its like you know, how to say that. When you pick up the object it moves to the socket
thats all i want
but when i pickup another object it just teleports
normal burrow
use the debug target and watch the graph
when you pick up the second item see if the line lights up to play from start
steep ferry
aight. I'll check that out later
normal burrow
when you call that play from start, you could also save the item position and use it in the lerp, instead of getting it every frame
that will make your movement linear
but i have a feeling that play from start pin is not lighting up on your second object

Does anyone have advice or a pipleline on building an open-world city> I've imported a couple thousand base meshes from sketchup via datasmith (Ik not the best idea).

Damn lol, I had a feeling that would be the answer

ikr? it's always a gut punch lol

thats cash i dont have tho lmfao
brave gate
so you want to build open world city and not gonna spend few bucks on indie license of Houdini? 😉
doesn't matter though, with such goal you gonna learn a lot while building pipeline around it
that's gonna be interesting journey, I hope 🙂
worldly widget
it's not impossible. I literally see people build their own procedural generation tools in the engine. I'm just not much of a coder. More of a level designer.
then again, I don't see many people building big scale cities in the engine outside of AAA studios so maybe this is still a mystery to most.
red geode
I'm new to discord. I'm curious is Unreal Slackers the only chat room for UE4 or is there other ones I can check out to get help?
coral shoal
i havent found a more active one yet
brave gate
@worldly widget are you doing this alone?
either you'd have to get strong in technical skills or find a reliable and passionate guy for to help - obviously the first one it's the better choice 😉
at least UE4 has a lot tools ready for AAA scale stuff
worldly widget
@brave gate its an army of two as of now sir
brave gate
and engine is now going into open world direction, so you'll lot of goodness for free soon
worldly widget
and you're right. Just guidance on using them isn't always clear lol
brave gate
like true open-world solution for working on and handling large maps
2 guys is already a team then 🙂
worldly widget
yeah I see levelstreaming a lot. and its crazy to me how big of a landscape you can make but theres a lack of support for a dynamic open world
brave gate
yeah, but support is coming
maybe already 4.25 will have real open world streaming - no assigning actors to levels, no sublevels at all, just engine controlling tile-based streaming for assets
you'd able to define streaming distances for every actor
and every actor instance would be a separate file on disk, so a lot easier to cooperate
and more engine optimizations for large scale world, they're working on faster async loading now
worldly widget
Wow, I did not know that. I'm glad you told me about that update. I've been battling this issue since 4.21.
brave gate
rendering is already working with dynamic lights, we got layered landscape now, virtual texturing, pretty decent shit 😄
worldly widget
I mean I got a semi close to real world landscape from scaling it and eye'ing the city and all the buildings are placed appropriately. It's just giving the world life (kinda closer to a gta style environment) hasn't been easy
brave gate
it's not easy even for Cyberpunk guys - have seen any footage of actual living world there? because I haven't 😛
is it project for the next months? years? are you getting into industry or already working here?
worldly widget
@brave gate it's a project for years
I'm okay with a 5 year development cycle. At least with blocking the general idea out
brave gate
wow, that's sounds good 🙂
so now one of you would to have to become generalist technical designer
if your goal is to make world truly living and not crappy
and yeah, get into Houdini, you can build entire content pipelines with it
worldly widget
@brave gate yeah houdini is definitely going to be part of the pipeline in the future. I'm just doing what I can with what I got until I get the money to buy it
brave gate
I'd advise to watch a lot of materials on custom tools for big games, try to copy some solutions
think of custom editors - it's not that difficult to write that once somebody feels fine in C++
and you need know the engine well, check how mechanisms inside actually work
worldly widget
@brave gate Yeah Im getting to the point of saying fuck it an just learning C++ to build tools and make life easier. I'm not fond of coding but if it makes working in ue4 easier then so be it lol
brave gate
keep the clean project as much as possible, refactor systems and features instead of "it's barely working, let it be" approach if you about building something huge and maintanable
it's always worth for you, even not just for a project
brave gate
myself alone? no 😄
although I'm building different games for 10 years now, and some massive open world project happened to me, yes 😄
experimenting with something smaller, but ambitious at home, that's why I got into C++ finally
gotten sick of waiting for features and force to do "small tasks" because I can't do decent systems - and you can't you very limited by scripting and being unable to understand what happens in the engine
also didn't want to be a guy to have to handle execution of critical things to others - better do it myself 😄
worldly widget
@brave gate I feel you on that. A lot of common sense features just don't drop or come out in a timely manner. And if they do they're not very optimized
brave gate
and the engine isn't built for any of our games specifically, you have a lot of tools
but also "tools to make tools" 😉
well, you're not gonna optimize the engine, but you can understand it better and optimize game and pipelines, or build the proper pipelines finally 😉
so... I get feeling I don't need to advise you browsing GDC talks or Unreal Fest ones? 😉
worldly widget
nahhh i done spent some time looking at those lmfao
marsh swallow
ugh. How do you show the FPS in the upper right of the engine?
i had to blow away my settings and cant remember. 😂
brave gate
stat fps in the command line
marsh swallow
yeah editor
brave gate
Performance section I guess
worldly widget
@brave gate most definitely. A lot of their pipelines are dedicated or predesigned specifically for their needs
brave gate
making big world is always a long journey for entire team
the best thing you can do probably it's to always think how to do open world without doing it - cutting the work, using clever tricks, picking up tasks by the "work to effect" ratio
that's what every sane studio would do, especially open world
that's also why open world games loves to be so repetitive 😛
sly coyote
I started learning unreal about 8 months ago, I coded c++ for 8 years tho...what ive learned so far wanting to do something similar to you snakekilla, is that while every boost you into learning unreal and everyone supports you, no one tells you that a massive open world city game is probably not what you want to do. infact if you are alone it seems if you want to do anything with unreal it will mostly be small mobile games with tiny levels becuase the amount of work required to actually do a massive scale game is just, not possible for a single person....not in any amount feasble time...lbut imagine spending 6 years on something that fizzles...yeah...stick to small scale
even with tons of assets....i dumped 1k into kitbash3d, and it will be 1k that will now sit there doing nothing
even with modular procedual tools
other thing i learned, fantasy games is literally the easy mode of game design
doing something real like a massive city, people will just judge it too harsely cause its based on something real
where fantasy is all forest and caves
a rune here and there
literally every fantasy game is skyrim
or diablo
oh and by god dont invest in iclone and character creator pipeline for making npcs....
stay away from them, reallusion monitizes literally everything
they might as well have loot boxes
worldly widget
@sly coyote I get you bro and respect that point, however, a project will only come alive as much life you breathe into it (not literally) I see too many copy and paste mobile small scale games and it makes no sense to keep that cycle going if we are using an engine that could technically make something greater. I am also blocking up the idea and don't intend of finalizing this project by myself. I do intend on finding a legit skilled, talented, and inspired team. But sometimes people need some inspiration or just takes on person to break the mold to start something that seems "impossible" or not feasible. I hope one day you return to your project and chase what dreamed of creating. Settling or giving up isn't an option for me it shouldn't be for you either.
sly coyote
its just tidbits i thought ild share my experience so far

im 4k$ invested into "dreaming big"

even with unreal market place assets...be careful, cause everyone want you do "create thier project" or "base your character bp off thiers"
making thier assets a headache to mix with other peoples assets

so i need help
This blueprint is for my first person game which makes a hit scan weapon and when testing it works fine but i cant tap fire meaning i can only hold done mouse one to fire. This is because when i start shooting it has a delay. I think the problem is that it only runs the code when mouse one is holding and not when mouse one is pressed.
Please help...
normal burrow
?
that would shoot on mouse down, but it also does not limit the refire.
so you could run into trouble if someone binds shoot to mouse wheel

Omg thanks alot what you did fixed it also thanks for the heads up about the mouse wheel

I'm using a input axis to remove a item from the enviroment, the player have to hold the button for a second and then It'll remove from world. I want a delay after this and make sure the player released the button. Any ideia of how to do this??😊
abstract relic
Is there a reason you’re using input axis instead of input action?
formal pebble
what is the best to use when u need a action while you still holding?
lament saddle
@formal pebble Look into the nodes Set Timer by Function Name and Clear Timer by Function Name for starting and stopping a delay.
also #blueprint if you need more help with BPs
formal pebble
Do you mean, set a timer after I destroy the item?
lament saddle
I mean if the player lets go of the hold, you want to cancel the timer right?
or well, I guess I misread
formal pebble
u wanna see what I'm doing? cause I'm in stream now
lament saddle
if I'm reading you right, you need to verify if the player held down an input for 1 second? And then if that's true, it waits for the hold to be released and then Destroy Actor?
lament saddle
(issue was solved in stream chat)

Hey I am pretty new to Maya and currently I am modeling my first low poly character. I am following a tutorial for it and it looks ... lets say decent so far. I have started with a cube and working on it with Symmetry Object X turned on since I started. I am currently designing the hand and I noticed that on one site some vertexes glitched out. How can something like this happen so I can prevent it in near future ?
Actually there are some how more vertexes on the left hand than on the right hand 🤔. But those only "spawn" if I rotate the hand on the other site. If I switch sites I have the exact same thing on the other hand
uncut vigil
Looks like you extruded twice and have doubled, overlapped vertices
Select all vertices and merge/weld them with a low treshold?
waxen narwhal
But how come that if I select the vertices (noticed iam spelling it wrong the whole time) on the right hand with symmetry on it shows me 42 vertices selected and if I rotate, the right hand looks good but the left glitches out. And if I select the left hand with symmetry on it shows me 42 vertices selected and if I rotate, the left hand looks good but the right glitches out? 🤔 Shouldnt the number be different if there were extra vertices on one site ?
uncut vigil
No idea, Maya is like that
Tools sometime glitch out
I suggest working only on half the mesh and instance it mirrored for the other side
waxen narwhal
I will have a look at it thank you 🙂
uncut vigil
For the record 3dsmax and blender have symmetry modifiers that cut, mirror and weld the model for you and you can just turn them on or off

Is it possible to add cinematics to objects imported into unreal engine? I Imported a door into unreal as an fbx file, but I cannot animate it... Any ideas on how to animate objects imported into unreal?
smoky zenith
what do you want to add?
tribal sphinx
just the simple opening and closing animation
smoky zenith
do you have the door and frame separate?
tribal sphinx
yea, I imported it separately
added keyframes too, but when I hit play, nothing happens
smoky zenith
if its for when the player interacts with it you could use a lerp to rotate it by 90 degrees and a timeline to make it so it rotates rather then snapping to the angle,
Like if you want the door automatic have it have a collision box and when the player enters that the door opens and when they leave that you'd just reverse the timeline so it closes, I'm not too sure how to do it with a keypress (to close it again) but I assume you'd use a DoN command in the blueprint with two pins where the first one plays the timeline and the second one reverses it
Also for a time line you need two keyframes, one at the very start time with a value of 0 and one at the end (for example a second later) with a value of 1, that should by rights make it rotate open
tribal sphinx
I've not tried it before, but I'll give it a try... Thanks for taking the time man... Appreciate it

I have a question regarding HISM. I have a blueprint which has a HISM component. The blueprint adds ~200000 instances of a mesh at BeginPlay and it runs just fine. The problem is that when I in the editor during play click the blueprint actor in the hierarchy and then click the HISM component in the details window, it freezes the engine and I can see in task manager how RAM utilization rises quickly with many gigabytes, not really stopping. Is this normal, a consequence of so many instances? Or is it perhaps a bug? If it is normal, is there any way to hide the HISM in the details window of the blueprint actor, to prevent anyone from accidentally freezing their engine, potentially losing work?

Hello. Someone have seen the Tutorial of PyroDev for the PUBG Inventory?

I want to use one of the layers as a mask for runtime virtual texturing but I don't know how to approach it. I don't want that layer to be removed by other landscape layers while painting I want it to exist in it's own bubble. Is that even possible?

why cant i connect these two... ? using a blueprint class actor

@ember shadow because you're trying to use component reference on actor reference, you have it clearly communicated in the error message 😉

Why my tessellated material doesn't get the details from the height map(pebbles don't go higher) no matter how much i crank up my multiplier?
cloud cobalt
Because tessellation happens after vertices and you probably used world offset
mint thunder
i have it on world displacement and i also multiplied the height map with vertex normals
plush yew
@tropic horizon its due the widget try loads all instances positions, creating a widget element for each instance
the blueprint insterface doesnt has virtual list yet
@Larry u using which mesh?
mint thunder
i want to use it for landscape material actually
just pulled a mesh from starter content, the floor
the same happens in landscape
mint thunder
default falloff?
mint thunder
@plush yew well, that didn't do the trick
plush yew
look in wireframe view
mint thunder
it changes the triangles (it changed them before as well) but doesnt use height info for some reason
i'll try unchecking adaptive tesselation
hoary silo
Just the other day, i started to get these graphics artifacts, it only happens in games made with unreal and in the editor. I have an RTX 2070
The artifacts are the bright spots on the right

@plush yew neither adaptive nor vertex normals solved it
it is working normally on other meshes with more polygons but not on landscape -.-

its some settings of lod or tesselation in landscape

Hello guys, I have problem with the pause menu

Explain the problem, etc
sonic pagoda
i cant even set it to 4.24 because it wants me to compile the project (but there is no code, and therefore i cant generate VS files)
plush yew
SO I did the pause menu-I pause the game when I click on "escape" it works, then appear pause menu, after you click the "resume" button it removes the pause menu and SHOULD recover the gameplay (when the game is paused the character can't move) after resuming it should move but he can't -this is the problem-how to fix it?
@uncut vigil satisfied?
uncut vigil
@plush yew yes
uncut vigil
Are you switching to input mode game or ui or something like that?
sonic pagoda
removing datasmith plugin from engine fixed it
sonic pagoda
set game paused
plush yew
this is all the script @uncut vigil
sonic pagoda
you dont need that console command

Hello, i have some problems with a Character Mesh dosent appear in the skeleton to be selected. What have done wrong ?
sonic pagoda
@rose depot is the mesh using a compatible skeleton?
when you import the mesh, you need to select the skeleton you want to use
rose depot
@sonic pagoda Yes because it's a Mesh from another skeleton.
sonic pagoda
if you use a different skeleton, or dont select/create a new one, they will be incompatible until you assign the same skeleton to it
if they have the same bone hierarchy and names
you can just right click the mesh
rose depot
It was a preset donwloaded and it's automatly use a custom skeleton
sonic pagoda
and assign the other skeleton
rose depot
So maybe i need to export and import the Mesh ?
sonic pagoda
or reimport it, and select the skeleton you want to use
rose depot
How to assign ?
sonic pagoda
right click the mesh
plush yew
no, I mean where to switch it with set game paused- I know how it looks @sonic pagoda
sonic pagoda
on the top
plush yew
where to change the command with the set game paused
sonic pagoda
right where you had it
with the console command
but it could be what the other person said
if you set input mode to ui , you need to set it back to set input mode to game
rose depot
@sonic pagoda Thanks
plush yew
ok so what to do? @sonic pagoda
sonic pagoda
are you setting input mode to UI
sonic pagoda
the escape key
whern you click on that node
there is a checkbox
for it run even when paused

also, promote that widget to a variable, and when you unpause, use that variable to remove from parent, or else the widget is just going to stay there
plush yew
I did it with prints string-when I unpause it with the button resume it doesn't print this:
sonic pagoda
@open eagle as far as i know, its not possible, ive asked a bunch of people
the same thing
open eagle
because I'm working on a multiplayer steam game and I need to have each client instance run it's own steam account
plush yew
when i click on the button resume game it removes the pause menu but the character can't move
sonic pagoda
i see it says deploy , and all that, it looks possible, but
no one so far has been able to explain how
plush yew
when I did it now with pause menu in the remove from parent it doesn't remove it so I should remove it
sonic pagoda
your best bet, XZ, is either use source control, that way you can easily clone the proejct and update it on the other machine and launch that way, or make the build and put it on a local folder that is accessed in your network
open eagle
I have been having to package the game, put it on a flash drive, transfer it to my laptop and play
And I can't use the editor standalone because my laptop has to recompile all the shaders because the scalability settings are different
sonic pagoda
yeah its a pain in the ass... mapping a network drive, that you can access from your laptop is a bit easier, that way you just put the build in that folder.. but yeah... ive asked around and researched the forums as well.. no one seems to really know how... but its also because people use source control
sonic pagoda
i dont think you realize what source control is
open eagle
source control is the management of source code
from a remote machine to a local machine
it's not made for bianaries
plush yew
but
sonic pagoda

@open eagle get a digital ocean droplet and setup perforce. I think its 5 bucks for 25 gb
plush yew
I have also one more thing that I want to do: when I click on escape to pause the game and show the menu, I want also when I click AGAIN the button escape to unpause the game and remove the menu-how should I do it? Cus I have this now:
sonic pagoda
you have to check if the game is paused .. or if the widget is visible
thats also why
you promote that widget
to a variable
plush yew
yup
I have the menu as variable
usually your design would be the widget is created once
and never you destroy it
just collapse
so what should i do here?
save the reference
?
you created the widget and show it in screen
I have the pause menu as variable
but u didnt connected it to set the reference
that's why I screenshoted the whole screen to see the variables
why I need to do it?
your variable is null if you didnt set it anywhere
sonic pagoda
plush yew
variables are like slots, it will assume the value after you set
ok I understood
ok
after the create widget to set the reference?
yes
like this?
ye
then what?
now you can use that reference to Set Visibility
plush yew
ok
sonic pagoda
if the game is paused, do this, if not, do that
if its paused, run the unpause logic
if its not paused, run the pause logic
plush yew
like this?
plush yew
if false-the upper? and if yes the down?
sonic pagoda
yes, right now you set it, so that if its paused, pause it (that doesnt make sense right?)
also, this is usually how these thigns are handled regarding widget creating
if its already valid, you dont want to create it again
you just want to add it to the viewport

Hi
I have a question
Which course is suitable for game making in high school and university?
exotic cave
@olive sandal : These days, math and art classes primarily.
I would suggest taking math through AP Calculus at least, also Sculpture/3D Modeling/Computer Animation
Further work could include advanced Physics classes as well as Audio Production.
Oh, and of course Computer Programming, and any specific classes in the software you plan to use 😄
Take a UE class if you can find one! Other good software to learn for the industry these days includes Maya or Blender for modeling, Photoshop for texture/image editing, Substance/Filter Forge for texture authorship, Fuse/iClone/Mixamo for character models, Pro Tools or Ableton for audio work...list goes on and on, maybe others can suggest the best pipeline parts they know of as well.

that's not good practice
ember shadow
so once the user had pressed E, it would constantlly be setting that view

why not instead have a check when the player presses E that it is within range

then you can do away with event tick
