rotate it around z
you could also rotate it around the root bone in the anim graph
normal burrow
Hm I’m not sure what you mean horizontal
abstract relic
Think of this way. The earth spins along the z axis. A ballerina twirls along z axis. When you spin on your office chair, that’s rotation along z axis

Could someone help me with this basic health bar?
I've made one before but I cannot seem to find out what is wrong
abstract relic
Don’t ask to ask. Just ask
normal burrow
abstract relic
I want that
jolly steppe
someday I'll be able to help people here .-.
abstract relic
Can tell you right now
abstract relic
You should have a Current Hp and Max Hp variable
fading vector
I know, but I can't even get one to display
abstract relic
That way you can divide current with max to get the percentage
fading vector
I just divided by 100 for the time being
abstract relic
Is the bar not rendering?
jolly steppe
dang I'm useless ._.
abstract relic
Can you confirm that it is casting properly?
fading vector
abstract relic
Just throw a print string before the return node
fading vector
The latest
abstract relic
Good
We don’t have to do bp interface then
But let’s try an equally stupid solution
fading vector
Yeah I've been clawing my eyes out over this
abstract relic
Make a pawn ref var in the widget bp at begin play. Then set the var with your target character
Then use that pawn ref var to get hp var
fading vector
What's weird is this works on my other game
Exact same code
This is a new game btw
brand new
abstract relic
Well we can do the equivalent of power cycling and have you delete your intermediate folder 😜
normal burrow
Try putting a print on the other side of the caste crypto. Perhaps that ain’t tunning at all?
abstract relic
and maybe binary if pat doesn’t kill me
fading vector
I suppose the only difference is that this is a sidescroller and the other game is a 2dsidescroller
lol
I can try a print
normal burrow
Never
abstract relic
Check your Maps and Mode in your project settings too. The fact that it’s rendering tells me that there shouldn’t be an issue there but you never know
fading vector
I guess I could've ran the game and looked at the code, shows no indications of even starting, no orange line. nada
normal burrow
Yeah good to check
abstract relic
And check if you set the correct widget to the viewport. All that nonsense
fading vector
normal burrow
How is that function to be invoked?
normal burrow
Not the problem but this is shady
jolly steppe
Still waiting for someone to solve my issue. I don't know where to stick the begin play event node. Can someone show me?
normal burrow
The middle, put it with everything else
abstract relic
I’m not touching that
jolly steppe
lmao someone reacted with a fire
abstract relic
Screen shot your event graph crypto
abstract relic
Please tell me you’re running the function
abstract relic
hud
fading vector
uh
jolly steppe
lot's of terms to remember. it's hard to keep up, lol
jolly steppe
Did you make a new Blueprint or something? Forget to save?
fading vector
Nah, but I recall needing to put something in here..
abstract relic
😛
jolly steppe
Yeah definately
fading vector
Wait am I tripping
My other project
Has nothing there
I must've called it somewhere
abstract relic
I think you're simply using the incorrect get player node
fading vector
See ya
Maybe?
It's the exact same as my other project
I mean I wrote it here, didn't copy it
normal burrow
Is it a binding or something? Tbh not sure how health was shown either
abstract relic
it's a binding
abstract relic
Don't care about that, shoo 😛
first, would like to confirm that the binding is running
fading vector
Okay, so how can I check
abstract relic
just throw a print string before the cast
abstract relic
Next
Check that the binding is applied to the progress bar
in the details panel
I think you already sent a shot of it
abstract relic
just confirm that it is the same function
fading vector
it is
abstract relic
Cool, so try using Get Player Pawn for the Cast
normal burrow
Hm that thing doesn’t print at all?
abstract relic
yay
fading vector
Phew
normal burrow
Woo
abstract relic
it happens
normal burrow
What did you do different the second time?
fading vector
I didn't rename the function
Whats sad is that is a small fraction of what I have to do now
I'll be in chat hanging out and working on this. I'll letcha know if something comes up 😛
abstract relic
What? You didn't compile the first round?
normal burrow
abstract relic
delete those Intermediate and binaries 
normal burrow
fading vector
hmm?
Oh also changed to pawn
which made no intial difference
however it was working after soooo
normal burrow
initial?
normal burrow
So maybe no initial but yea ultimately?
fading vector
The first function, that I deleted didn't work with it
the second one did
but I didn't try anything else sooo
abstract relic
I still think it's conflicting temps
fading vector
I got a question for y'all
normal burrow
Unfamiliar with binds but makes sense
fading vector
How do you feel about event TICK
abstract relic
delete those folder
normal burrow
normal burrow
Why are you capitalizing it?
fading vector
because its awful
normal burrow
Lol 😂
fading vector
Sadly youtube is full of people who use it with no care
normal burrow
Yeah well, it is something that happens every frame
Things happening == time spent
abstract relic
vector square
normal burrow
It’s not as bad as it sounds unless using it wrong
fading vector
I think this is on event tick..
normal burrow
Kinda yeah. It’s kind of the same thing as tick
Just that’s a joystick float
Not the number of seconds
fading vector
So that makes it better?
Oh if you didn't know already. Super new to Unreal engine. Relatively new to programming
So if you think im sarcastic its a genuine question.
abstract relic
Well, for typical movement. You need it to constantly check and run regardless
fading vector
Why not just run off a key press?
next jetty
can I just say that a while ago, I was plagued by this super strange bug. The reason was I was using the InputAxis node as a tick node for some things, which didn't work out. It was a while ago so I can't remember the details
normal burrow
Yeah what makes tick bad is the amount of things that take time inside it
abstract relic
How would it know when pressed? It still gotta check
normal burrow
Yeah, axis events run every frame like anything else
But
They only run for the thing eating the input
AI no
abstract relic
Indeed. It’s not quite a true tick
fading vector
Wait
normal burrow
Yea
next jetty
no, that fires once on press, and once on release
normal burrow
Actions aren’t every frame no
abstract relic
No
normal burrow
Hm crypto
abstract relic
You’ll move once
next jetty
because movement needs to be calculated every frame, and also consider controllers
abstract relic
Like a hop
fading vector
LOL
abstract relic
And that’s it
fading vector
I see
normal burrow
Having the thing there isn’t what makes it slow
fading vector
So you would have to spam the key to move fast
This is obviously the new style of games
abstract relic
All game characters are technically hopping 😜
fading vector
spam key to run
abstract relic
Just super tiny hops
fading vector
faster you spam faster you go
normal burrow
With input it runs every frame yeah. Calls usually one exec function and it’s done
Lol tiny hops

Is there a way to add start content to a project thats already been made?
abstract relic
There’s a big green add button just above your content browser
fading vector
ah ty
abstract relic
It has a magical ability to cease existence from living memory. Had to double check that it exist just now
normal burrow
It’s like the save all button
abstract relic
Bloody of course it is
abstract relic
Maybe it’s the general screen position that has this dark magic
normal burrow
Yeah it’s right next to the green add import button
So I think it detracts attraction from it
Cause big green button is shiny
abstract relic
But no one remembers the green button
normal burrow
There’s a few and it’s tough to remember what is which
It must be that area on second thought

@normal burrow Can you help me with something?
exotic thicket
Oh boy... Managed to put UE into a crash-loop...
It's hard to believe how freaking unstable this thing is with my little trivial project... how bad is it with an AAA project... :P
Yep, I changed a function signature in one of my BP functions, and now if I try to open any other BP which called that function... crash immediately, no way to fix the other BP's...
tame delta
Hey, if I move a blueprint to another place (say from a plugin to another), most references seems to break within it (references to neighbour blueprints and such). Is there a way to fix that without manually going through every nodes?
exotic thicket
Oh good, the BP with the func that I changed still opens... I changed the signature back to the way it was and now the crashing BP's open again :P
I'm really not sure if I'm looking forwards to building anything more complicated lol
cloud cobalt
Just revert in source control and change more carefully
@tame delta Redirectors in config files
Add redirector, move asset, fix redirectors, save all assets, remove redirector
exotic thicket
Yeah... it's just a bit concerning that something that seems like a fairly regular thing to do would just completely kill the editor
tame delta
@cloud cobalt Ah! Thanks a lot
exotic thicket
Guess I'm gonna have to remove all references to the function in the other BP's before I can adjust the signature or something...

Anyone who uses Character who has addressed the issue of snapping onto/off ledges like this? I've tried to modify the code to smooth it out, but it's tricky and I wonder if someone has found a way to make it smooth, in some way or another.
tame delta
@cloud cobalt Sorry for the late ping, but could you elaborate on what you mean by redirectors in config files? I can't find any information on how to manually set up redirectors 😕
In my case I'm moving a bunch of files to a new plugin and a new version at the same time (and a new project I guess, but I assume that's irrelevant)

how can i stop unreal from hiding my mouse cursor on play?
i dont want to press shift + f1 everytime i press a button
cloud cobalt
That's quite easy
plush yew
Hello, is there any example in C++ using LineTraceSingleByObjectType? I can't figure out how to set up FCollisionObjectQueryParams and FCollisionQueryParams correctly
cloud cobalt
@gaunt void If you're making a game with mouse UI, you can just set your player's input mode to UI
gaunt void
im working on a mobile game, but want to test UI stuff quickly in the editor
already set the show mouse cursor check, also told the player controller to set mode to UI and game
but anyways my mouse gets hidden by unreal after a button is released etc.
and it shows the notification to press shift + f1
cloud cobalt
Did you try UI ?
You can also try the "capture mouse on launch" in your game's project settings
Finally, you can experiment with show mouse cursor on player controller
All of these affect your game - your game, not the editor, is what disables the mouse
gaunt void
i dont get it, sorry.
i have show mosue cursor = true
i dont really care about the capoturing even tho i tried playing around with it.
I simply want my cursor to be visible all the time
opal coral
@plush yew For non-custom channels, you can do for example:
FCollisionObjectQueryParams QueryParams;
QueryParams.AddObjectTypesToQuery(ECollisionChannel::ECC_WorldStatic);
For a custom collision channel, you can make a UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere) and expose the ECollisionChannel to the blueprint, so you can select your custom one from a list. That's how I remember it at least.
cloud cobalt
@gaunt void If you've disabled the initial mouse capture and set your player controller to mouse cursor, then nothing more should be needed
gaunt void
tried both with the capture on launch
is there a setting in the buttons or smthing that may change this?
cloud cobalt
What I mentioned was setting bShowMouseCursor to true in the player controller class
gaunt void
that is from the playercontroller class, but i tihnk i found the culprit
it was a handle cursor visibility function inside one of the plugins im using
thanks for the help though!
cloud cobalt
lmao, ok
cloud cobalt
Error in your code
cyan grove
can't find any
cloud cobalt
Line 20 of your player controller
I know there is a mistake because your code got UE4 killed by the operating system
Windows even tells you why it had to do that
You tried to read memory outside your program
Commonly known as a segfault
Most common C++ error

cloud cobalt
(Basically your UMG widget wasn't initialized yet when you called code on it)
cloud cobalt
Unless you compiled in debug, lines in C++ are very rough estimates
How is MyMainMenu declared ?
cloud cobalt
Of course you are
If it crashes with your classes in the call stack, like it does, it's 100% always your fault
cyan grove
help me out plz
cloud cobalt
In this case, you did not make all of the UObjects you created UPROPERTY()
So every one that doesn't have UPROPERTY is immediately destroyed by the garbage collector UObjects benefit from
Object gets killed right after being created, pointer is set to nullptr, you then call code on nullptr, resulting in access violation
LoadGameButton is the first such mis-declared object
So it's the first to crash
Like the debugger told you - it is nullptr
cloud cobalt
Like that
The C++ tutorial in the official UE4 documentation should have explained this already
cloud cobalt
What's the call stack now ?
cyan grove
fixed, on chash/reload
how to i exit game in cpp?

alright so, appearently, the reason why unreal engine wasn't visible on my screen was because my amd software automatically turned on the anti-lag options to improve performance

tame delta
@next ivy Oh yes you're thinking of Bloodborne
fathom glade
@next ivy I can't set vertical acceleration downward if I'm disabling physics body. (which is how I'm disabling physics)
I tried lerping the position with a linetrace downward but that doesn't seem to work for me, the linetrace downwards always gets messed up.

I'm trying to save out settings for my in-dev project to customize the Splash.bmp & EdSplash.bmp, does anyone know where these settings are stored? In the Editor it claims these settings are written to Config/DefaultEngine.ini but I don't see these properties written in there, even when I change them and export them
cloud cobalt
IIRC there aren't any setting
You just edit these files directly
They're in Binaries or something
plush yew
Seems like it must be saved somewhere, the engine knows how to load the correct BMP for the project once it's set
main fulcrum
Does anybody know a good system out there that can be used for Sea/Ocean and is good to build on top for a sailing/adventure game?
cloud cobalt
@plush yew There is no setting, seriously
The file name is hardcoded in the engine
const TCHAR* SplashImage = GIsEditor ? ( GameName.IsEmpty() ? TEXT("EdSplashDefault") : TEXT("EdSplash") ) : ( GameName.IsEmpty() ? TEXT("SplashDefault") : TEXT("Splash") );
From Engine/Source/Runtime/ApplicationCore/Private/Windows/WindowsPlatformSplash.cpp

When I use structs in a function, all the struct components are loaded in the memory right?
So if I want to create a long ass struct, but use only one component at a time in a given function, is will waste memory?
plush yew
I'm not interested in changing the name of Splash.bmp or EdSplash.bmp, just the path.
plush yew
It's built into the editor, so I don't see how you can legitimately claim that
cloud cobalt
Well you can very easily, just change the engine source yourself and recompile it
You never change this in the editor
The editor lets you overwrite the file with new content
It doesn't let you change the actual path
Like I said
plush yew
Sure, that's nitpicking. No one cares whether the existing BMPs are used or not, only that you can point it at the new file path
cloud cobalt
You can't
plush yew
And where that gets written
cloud cobalt
You never, at any point, change where the splash screen is in the project
You just overwrite it in Content/Splash/Splash.bmp
Either project dir, or engine dir if not found

@cloud cobalt Sorry to tag you again, but I'm trying to port a bunch of files from a plugin (SteamVRInput) to a new one (SecmaVR). When moving that plugin to 4.24 on a new project, it complains with stuff like : DoesPackageExist: DoesPackageExist FAILED: '/SteamVRInput/Sample/Characters/Hands/HandPoseEnum' which I guess is expected.
So I'm trying to set up redirectors, and this is what I got in Plugins/SecmaVR/Config/SecmaVR.ini (which I assume is searched automatically, I haven't linked to that file anywhere):
[CoreRedirects] +ClassRedirects=(OldName="SteamVRInput", NewName="SecmaVR") +PackageRedirects=(OldName="SteamVRInput",NewName="/SecmaVR/",MatchSubstring=true)```
I don't know exactly which kind of redirect I should use or if it's proper syntax but I went along with the doc, and the result is the same (still looking for `/SteamVRInput/...etc` and failing.(By the way I tried to just migrate the entire content since it's really just a couple folders with assets, but you can't migrate between plugins it looks like. I don't get the option to)
cloud cobalt
Is SteamVRInput an actual class ?
vernal dock
can anyone pm me on how to get iwebsocket->onMessage() function to work??
tame delta
No it's not, I just put that in as is, SteamVRInput is just a plugin
I guess that line is superfluous, just wanted to see if it would do something, the doc is pretty terse

I think you need to redirect actual individual classes
tame delta
Individual classes?
Well I just want to redirect everything, every asset pointed at by BPs...etc
I don't have any C++ classes in there
cloud cobalt
I don't know if you can redirect entire folders
By the way, can't you move content between plugins in the content browser ? 🤔
tame delta
I can, but if I do that the blueprints break
They still look for the folder in SteamVRInput
Oh you mean move
I just copied them
tame delta
Yeah, that's why I didn't try to move it tbf
but it's versioned it's alright
Ok I'll try that out thanks 🙂
cloud cobalt
Don't forget to fix redirectors + resave all assets before trying to delete the old one
tame delta
Oh, well they probably haven't created any redirectors since I just copied them right
Also are redirectors just .uassets containing a link?
Or are there stored somewhere else?
cloud cobalt
Nah that's it
The problem is making sure all assets referencing redirectors get saved, which reads the reidrect and updates to the new file
tame delta
Oh yeah gotcha, I haven't actually spawn any of those assets or have any actor reference them for now since I'm just trying to migrate it

For most low level features in Unreal Engine we use console variables to give user control. For this feature the console variable is called "r.GraphicsAdapter". You can type the console variable name into the OutputLog or in the game console to get it's current value and the help using "r.GraphicsAdapter ?". This is the console variable help:
User request to pick a specific graphics adapter
(e.g. when using a integrated graphics card with a descrete one)
At the moment this only works on Direct3D 11.
-2: Take the first one that fulfills the criteria
-1: Favour non integrated because there are usually faster (default)
0: Adpater #0

Hello, I'll reiterate my question because I'm stuck right now and I don't want to bother Stranger any more, but I'm trying to upgrade to 4.24 (it's pretty crucial that I do, believe it or not) and I'm trying to move content from a plugin to a new plugin in 4.24. I really just need to move the content folder but everytime I do it still tries to access the old folder and fails. I've tried:
- Copying the file and setting up core redirects
- Moving the file to the new plugin through the editor
- Migrating the file to the new plugin.
Everytime making sure I saved, fix redirectors (although it appears to do nothing, I don't even get a loading bar or popup). But it always fails in the same way and my blueprints end up utterly destroyed in red spaghetti
next badger
@tame delta you have 2 plugins running at the same time?
tame delta
Any idea is greatly appreciated, it's all versioned so I don't mind experimenting and destroying it
@next badger No
next badger
they what are you "moving"?
tame delta
So I have SteamVR plugin in 4.23, I'm moving it to a custom plugin (I only care about the content) that is used in 4.24
Oh sorry yeah I guess for when I move I have both of them on 4.23
next badger
so, you have 2 plugins
tame delta
One of them being empty
Yeah my bad
One of them is literally just a content dump though
Which is what I want 👍
next badger
and it's a plugin content?
tame delta
Yup
next badger
then you can't move it
you have to move it in the plugin project
it's a bit mess -_-
tame delta
Hmm what do you mean?
Honestly I got those big BPs that break everywhere, anything is better than trying to fix that
next badger
@tame delta you have a project, that loads a SteamVR plugin, which is - Engine Plugin (it's installed in the Engine Folder)
means every change there will affect all the other projects (and probably ue4)
tame delta
@next badger Yeah actually I thought about that, and that's what is screwing me over
I hacked through the manifest/descriptor trying to get rid of everything but the content
then I'll just have to safely rename the plugin and I should be good 🤔
SteamVR is only embedded in the engine in 4.24, in 4.23 it's external
which is the cause of my misery btw
next badger
oooh...i see now
tame delta
Yeah
If you wonder why I would want to port the plugin over considering it's now part of the engine, it's because I made direct changes to the BPs and added a bunch of stuff (because it was the best way to deal with my use case)
(and still probably is tbh)
next badger
and have you asked on #virtual-reality ?
tame delta
No I haven't, it's not really specific to VR, but if what I'm trying to do fails I'll probably do that yeah
Or ask runeberg directly. Even though I hate doing it 😦
next badger
it's just maybe people who use SteamVR are there

Guys, I have a problem with loading level instances. Even though I load an Empty level, I still have a lag when it load (PIE). Is that normal?
jolly steppe
I imagine it is if you have a lot of stuff in the level or if you're casting to a ton of stuff in your code.
I'm a noob though so idk
brittle gulch
But the level is empty
jolly steppe
What about the level blueprint?
brittle gulch
the same, I had the problem with a level with some actors in it (a dozen), and I decided to try out with an completely new level. And it does the same
jolly steppe
or your character blueprint
Did this just start happening? If you start a new project is it fine?
dim merlin
hi, why is my performance so bad when i enable tessellation on a big terrain? its seems poorly optimized..
vernal dock
Can someone please help me with handing a response from a websocket server
jolly steppe
tessellation is a heavy workload. I know that much. You might have to set LOD to make tessellation not render at a certain distance.
I don't know how to do that with terrain though.
jolly steppe
hmm, I'm not quite sure. I only messed with Terrain once but I haven't used tessellation yet. not even on basic materials on actors.
brittle gulch
Okay, I think I know why. It's because UE4 is installed on my hard disk and not the SSD, and I think that level streaming in PIE and in build act differently. It seems that each time it streams or unstreams a level, it grabs it from the disk. But when it plays in build or standalone, it probably loads every levels once in the ram or in the SSD and then loads them on the fly more rapidly.
flat axle
Is it possible to migrate all assets to all projects and all future projects?
grim ore
one project at a time or you can create a custom content pack and import it into your projects
or I guess a custom template that includes the assets that you start new projects with would work as well
chrome needle
when youre ready with lighting setup how do you render out the scene ?
flat axle
What is the directory for starter content?
grim ore
FeaturePacks is where the packs are stored
jolly steppe
@chrome needle You can build the scene or select build lighting only
chrome needle
jolly steppe
not sure what that is. I think you might be forcing all lighting to be dynamic??
chrome needle
i have no idea
grim ore
its a setting in the world settings that disabled static lighting, so yes all dynamic
keep in mind ray tracing is not used for static lighting
chrome needle
so how can i build the scene ?
chrome needle
i dont turn off raytracing lol
jolly steppe
or it's technically already built since it's all dynamic?
grim ore
go to your world settings, go to the lightmass section, go to the advanced part, and disable the force no precomputed lighting
grim ore
yep
grim ore
chrome needle
it says lighting build completed

this is a good video to watch btw

the entire video is a good watch for how DXR works in UE4
but in the end DXR is realtime and will be noisy when pushed to high quality

Thin things like hair cards still look super greasy on RTX

I do hope RTX is a bad dream

😂 could be the start of something amazing

Or a way to charge more for cards that aren’t a whole lot better than their predecessors

If that's the case, I'm good with my 2080ti for the rest of my life.

honest rune
actually I really want a 1070 ti
grim ore
I had a 1080, upgraded to the 2070 super. Happy with the performance uplift for everything and the DXR support
jolly steppe
every game I've played with RTX with the exception of Call of Duty runs at about 60-70 fpx and is a noisy blurry mess
WITH A 2080TI
normal burrow
I thought those cards were similar in performance if not identical, 1080 and 2070 super
jolly steppe
Call of Duty runs like butter with RTX but you can't hardly tell a difference.
normal burrow
outside of rtx i mean
grim ore
shrug control and Wolfenstein twin sisters works well for me with DXR and DLSS on
normal burrow
twin sisters lol
jolly steppe
Control runs at like 70 with RTX on
and it looks like trash
well
maybe not trash
grim ore
2070 super is about the same perf as the 2080 normal which is about the same perf as the 1080ti so it's an uplift from the 1080 normal
jolly steppe
but it's not great
grim ore
plus if you just justify the upgrade as "for work" since I needed DXR support for a few things it's a win win 😉
jolly steppe
fuck Ngreedia : /

pretty much yep @normal burrow
jolly steppe
but AMD ain't no better
honest rune
hey off topic but just curious. Since MaxPlayers within AGameSession is decorated with GlobalConfig, do I have to recompile the engine with it marked as Config if I want to allow for GameSession subtypes to define their own MaxPlayers, MaxPartySize etc?
worried I'll waste a half hour building only to break my fork from changing it to Config lol
normal burrow
amd needs to rock nvidia, i kind of hope they pull an upset like they are currently doing by announcing the 4th gen ryzen desktop cpus next week
no phantom
chrome needle
it says light building completed still looks crappy
jolly steppe
I was sorely disappointed with the 2080ti when I got it. I thought "I'll just get a 2080ti and play at 1440p to increase frame rate" since all the videos I watch were mostly testing at 4K
that's not how it works
RTX bottle necks the card
honest rune
I though GlobalConfig implies subclasses can't override in configs
jolly steppe
tensor cores need to be stronger so that they can shove more samples per frame... I think that's how it works, lol.
@chrome needle tbh, I think you'll have to keep tweaking settings to get a good balance of appealing visuals and less noise and performance.
normal burrow
https://youtu.be/6m4EXlmuwvU?t=60 at least unreals implementation has improved since a year ago though
i haven't checked out how much better gi has become
i'll look into it phantom
honest rune
@normal burrow nah its alright. I'm pretty sure I have to if I want to specify subclass defaults in configs so I'll give it a shot. Worst that happens is I rebuild lol
jolly steppe
can't find the setting to soften the shading for the skylight or lightsource

rotund scroll
in a third person character, is it possible to rotate the capsule without rotating the camera with it?
grim ore
if the camera is not set to use the controller rotation it should be
the default TPP template rotates the player without the camera locked to it
rotund scroll
using capsule rotation or set control rotation?
grim ore
depends on your character and controller and cameras settings but just adding/settings the actor rotation should rotate the capsule itself and not move the camera if the camera is not locked. If you set the control rotation it should rotate the camera but not the actor if the camera is not locked
grim ore
the default TPP works like above, add actor local rotation rotates the capsule and the camera does not move (so you can see the player spin in place for example). Set control rotation keeps the player from moving and spins the camera around the player

oh, ok 😄
but do you have a runtime module already? I'm asking because anatomy of editor module is exactly the same
the key difference is that editor module aren't included in non-editor build, really

@normal burrow I do not, I try and limit the amount of C++ content I have

afaik you either choose to offset light color or material color
but not both
and if you have vibrant colors in materials, it pays to desaturate the light color

@cerulean sorrel flip the script on this.
You get to learn different ways to do things, so you can make things in a simpler or easier way.
Different tools, or nodes, work in different situations

I'm having a somewhat problem with state machine, i wonder if you can help me @cerulean sorrel
cerulean sorrel
sorry i'm new to the engine
gleaming wing
Ohh okay xD
Me too, tbh idk what is wrong in my logic
gleaming wing
I want to make the character play a stop move animation
But if while you're playing
cerulean sorrel
i did too with death but my eneded up looping for some godam reasson
gleaming wing
you like press WSAD, it stops playing the stop moving and go back to moving again
cerulean sorrel
ok wait that would be
gleaming wing
I have this cycle
I'm trying to make stop going to idle if i stop moving
But start moving again if i try to move
And interrupt the stop animation
cerulean sorrel
thats my prob i did that with a death thing when hp =0 but diidn't work
WhhhhYYYY
gleaming wing
Pretty sure that conduit solves your problem
Damn i just saw a tutorial about that death thing lol
cerulean sorrel
yes that one
cerulean sorrel
i can't beleve a game like ark just think
im sure you need transition rules in between @gleaming wing

craggy flax
can anyone help troubleshoot something? New to blueprinting so not sure where I went wrong.
Error code:
Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property CameraPawnRef". Blueprint: MayorController Function: Execute Ubergraph Mayor Controller Graph: EventGraph Node: SetActorTransform
Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None". Blueprint: MayorController Function: Movement Speed Calculation Graph: MovementSpeedCalculation Node: Return Node
lament saddle
the error means the CameraPawnRef variable isn't set -- it's empty
so you have to figure out where it's set, and make sure it's doing that
before you execute the stuff in your screenshot
that's all I can say, generally
gleaming wing
@lament saddle do you know anything about my stop state machine problem?
lament saddle
sorry, never worked with AI/animation before
craggy flax
@lament saddle thats what I assumed, but I def have CameraPawnRef Variable Type set to 'Mayor Pawn"
or is there more to it than that?
lament saddle
without knowing the particulars of your project... Your "Camera Pawn Ref" variable probably accepts a "Mayor Pawn" actor reference, but for some reason the variable is unset -- it was never given a particular Mayor Pawn actor reference in the gameworld
so your SetActorTransform node is saying it has no target to work with
hence "Accessed None"

This at least narrows down where my trouble is, I appreciate it!
brave turret
In a call
Hes using steam vr and running across the floor for a dog animation
He's now punching the wall
gleaming wing
I think i know the problem now
I have a problem regarding my stop moving state machine. My character is playing the stop animation only if i try to move (WSAD) while the stop animation would be playing. If i let go the keyboard she just snaps from walk/jog/run to idle, but if i try to move immediately after letting go the keyboard, them it plays the animation.
Someone can lay me a hand with this?
spice canopy
@gleaming wing are your input action or input axis events allowed to execute all the way to the end if they have a zero value?
For axis events look for whether zero value still goes all the way through all the nodes. For action events check for released pin
spice canopy
Hmm ok then i guessed wrong on that problem
Unless the playingequipanimation variable is true
Have you tried stepping through with breakpoint debugging?
gleaming wing
I plugged out the node alredy, it isn't that
gleaming wing
spice canopy
The problem is on the transition between walk/jog/sprint and stops?
gleaming wing
yeah, the problem is definetly at the stop
i guess that the problem is between stop and idle
spice canopy
Have you watched the state machine changing while you play the game? Sometimes it helps to preview the state machine by changing the preview variable values in the state machine editors preview
Double click the transition icon and see how it works
gleaming wing
Just did it again so i can tell you whats happening
Basicaly if i start moving it goes to the walk/jog
craggy flax
Man I just can’t track down why this variable isn’t set properly.
spice canopy
What does the transition graph look like, when you open the transition node?
gleaming wing
If i let go the keyboard it goes to stop
but it doesnt play the animation
Only if i try to move again while at the stop on the state machine it plays the stop

What does the stop state graph look like?
