no, i dont think so
my editor start up map was set to FPS example and game default to none, could that be the issue?

So I eventually want to make it so a "computer block" object can detect all the robotic blocks (hinges, motors, sensors, etc) attatched to either it, or to blocks that are attatched to it, and so on, and then have it so the player can write some commands using those. roughly how difficult would that be to implement?

#

basically, to let the players build their own robots

hey everyone! I seem to have a little problem, when I drag a spline mesh actor into the world it's colored red and i can't add points to it while a friend of mine can. Is there something that I pressed without knowing, or some phantom setting? cheers in advance :p

it's also transparent and can't be seen when I unselect it

@plush yew You can create a custom animState. I do that so I can have more control over the trail.

Hey all, I can't figure out why my enemy isn't using the navmesh. I have 2 supported agents (a "Large" and a "Small") and both navmeshes build perfectly fine.

All enemies have "Update Nav Agent With Owners Collision" set to false, but for some reason enemies with settings identical to the "Large" agent settings don't work, while enemies with the "Small" agent settings work fine.

Some testing has shown that whichever agent is in slot 0 works fine, but the nav agent in slot 1 cannot navigate. The visual logger gives me this. Any ideas?

📎 unknown.png

#

I just discovered the "FNavAgentSelector" is a thing so maybe I'll look into that, but it seems like this should be workable in the editor. I would rather have unreal auto-select which agent an enemy uses rather than set it manually in C++, but as far as I can tell that functionality is broken.

@plush yew not sure what the rest of your stuff looks like but you could add the hit actor to an ignore array and then check against that so it can only be hit once per trace / overlap.

how do u keep a texture the same size across any mesh?

📎 Capt123123ure.PNG

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

@regal shard you would look into using world coordinates for the Texture Coords for the material, or do some other math based on size

regal shard Mar 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

so do I still used the UV tiling params in texcoords?

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

those are the size of the material relative to the mesh size. IF you want it to be the same across any mesh you would have to swap to something like world texture or some other fixed unit size

regal shard Mar 18, 2020, 5:17 PM

#

ok il ltry that thx

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

#graphics might have some exact math or nodes you can use

regal shard Mar 18, 2020, 5:18 PM

#

i was also thinking about texture painting instead do u think thatll work too?

#

cus its just the floor

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 5:19 PM

depends on what you want, painting is fine if you need it

regal shard Mar 18, 2020, 5:22 PM

#

im trying to make a large openworld map thats completely flat. do u think a cubemesh or landscape is better for it?

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 5:23 PM

#

it depends on how large it is. If it's a single mesh you really can't cull it while a landscape can use LOD and culling

#

if you break it apart into smaller cubes they can all be culled out if they are far away

#

but then again if it's literally just a large plane it don't think performance would be an issue

Humm mathewW

#

where should i put the print?

#

in the end?

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 5:30 PM

#

right after the overlap event, the first thing. before you set the actor

#

you said it's overlapping twice so this will tell you what is overlapping and it it's really twice

First hit dosent knock back but dose damage

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

you should be able to yes. The NDK needs to be installed so it can create the files and you can use the ADB software. Once UE4 can find the android stuff it will try and find your device if its plugged in and set to allow usb debugging. if this is correct and your device is set to allow android as a target it will show up under launch devices

so fortunate I have a cc license

yes fuse is adobe

but before putting those characters into the engine try to know the poly count and such things, so that they don't get over loaded

no it won't work, you have to rig that character and after that you have to make animations for it, i don't know anything other than this, i mean other solution

#

wait u make chars in mixamo or u just download them?

bronze cedar Mar 18, 2020, 6:11 PM

it's like what i know, you can put your character in mixamo and than there is a presets of animation which you can apply to your character, and your character will start animating in no time

it's like that, check it you will understand it

#

there are lots of animations like run , walk , jump , attack , zombie walk and so on, what game needs

hi

does anyone know how come i can't change the material color with:

#

void ACreature::MakeCube()
{
    VisualMesh = CreateDefaultSubobject<UStaticMeshComponent>(TEXT("Mesh"));
    VisualMesh->SetupAttachment(RootComponent);

    static ConstructorHelpers::FObjectFinder<UStaticMesh> CubeVisualAsset(TEXT("/Game/StarterContent/Shapes/Shape_Cube.Shape_Cube"));

    if (CubeVisualAsset.Succeeded())
    {
        VisualMesh->SetStaticMesh(CubeVisualAsset.Object);
        VisualMesh->SetRelativeLocation(FVector(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f));

        // set up material
        auto Material = VisualMesh->GetMaterial(0);
        DynamicMaterial = UMaterialInstanceDynamic::Create(Material, NULL);
        VisualMesh->SetMaterial(0, DynamicMaterial);

        DynamicMaterial->SetVectorParameterValue(TEXT("Color"), FLinearColor::Blue);
        // DynamicMaterial->SetScalarParameterValue(TEXT("Blend"), blend);
    }
}

with this line DynamicMaterial->SetVectorParameterValue(TEXT("Color"), FLinearColor::Blue);

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 7:10 PM

#

What does your material look like? does it have that as a parameter

#

@plush yew I don't have a ton of experience with that or how you are doing it so I don't know if I could help, #animation would be better if you havent tried before. It seems basic, change animation to a new one and then when done change it back. show crosshair if needed for example. I know there are a few video series out there for handling aiming

cyan robin Mar 18, 2020, 7:14 PM

this is the extent of any data on the material

#

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 7:18 PM

#

@cyan robin your line to create a dynamic material out of the current material then setting a parameter on it indicates your material has a parameter called Color to change. If you are using the default world material then no it would not be able to change your just randomly trying stuff

@plush yew depending on the tools some will stay in place yes (sdk's, .net libraries, etc.)

If i used Pressed and Released cuz of my animation kinda not working the right way after the first shoot it will go back to toggle

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 7:26 PM

you need to make a material inside of the editor and have it set up to use a parameter that you can then change outside of it

cyan robin Mar 18, 2020, 7:26 PM

i believe i'm doing that here: DynamicMaterial = UMaterialInstanceDynamic::Create(Material, NULL);

@plush yew make sure you only have 2019 or 2017 installed, your source is up to date, and you have your VS install up to date. there was an issue at sme point when upgrading VS and the code base that causes this

you have individual components you can install and the windows 8 and 10 SDKs are part of that

does an experienced programmer both with unreal and blueprints, use blueprints to make things easier? or are they efficient enough to just do things through code? or a combination of both and how to know when to use code / blueprints? (i prefer working with code)

the .net stuff is what causes the issue when you generateprojectfiles

if you havent done that recently that might be why you havent had an issue with that

ok 2 things. do you have only the .22 C++ toolchain installed now?

and did you generate the project files again after reinstalling all of VS and such

misty jewel Mar 18, 2020, 9:10 PM

Ah man, I feel you. Hate building anything with visual studio. I built my project just to put in the python plugin and now I'm glad I don't need to touch it again. All Emacs and Hy from here foxlunettes

#

Anyway, I had a simple question if anyone knows off-hand. I know how to control the blend rate between animations for blendspaces but I can't seem to find any parameter for setting the blend speed of animation states in the animation blueprint

#

It's skipping the first frame of my shooting animation and it looks pretty weird

plush yew Mar 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

it's a pain in the butt yeah

#

i forgot to regenerate the files

#

let's see if it works now

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

I found that having more than one of the toolchains can cause an issue as well as it will try and use the newer one unless you force it to use the older one. Just having the .22 installed is fine

plush yew Mar 18, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

i had 2 toolchains

#

and it still didn't work

ill see if i can use the older toolchain

if it works it will be good

if not ill just use a newer one

Do you guys think that UE4 will change much for next gen consoles? I know that the SSD speed is pretty important for loading large sections of memory (like game worlds).

grim ore Mar 18, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

There is also a way to supress the error if that doesnt work lol

#

UE4 will change yep but it will be invisible to the dev more than likely. Stuff will just be better. It's the benefit of using an engine 🙂

#

like right now they are designed around the number of cores principal of most modern consoles and in the future they can expand to being able to use the higher core/thread count and the dev will just benefit from it without having to change

The question you asked was pretty specific and this is the general channel. It's also a very small section of the engine you are asking about so the people who know about it are a small percentage of the people in this channel.

I think it has something to do with the curves and how the model is made.

Hey, I'm currently using Windows Remote Desktop to remote into a computer to work in UE4. Sometimes if UE4 is left open when logging back in it will be completely frozen, so I have to stop execution from Visual Studio. Anyone have any ideas how to get this to work correctly?

it's likely less to do with unreal and more to do with how remote desktop and windows in general handles stuff like this

do i replace OnActorHit with another component, and then make the whole node local to the blueprint instead of the scene blueprint?

like EventHit?

@modern sinew check that branch is firing, check to see if the steam enabled switch reference is valid and go from there

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 1:35 AM

ok

#

Also, I was following a tutorial, and there's a forEachLoopWithBreak, and an array; when I drag the "array element" to the "set array". there's a make array node, but in the video, it's not there

#

will it make a difference?

#

wait, i see why

#

nvm

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

Hmm.. I was going to say i don't really have any context

#

@cyan robin maybe you could get all actors of class, for each loop, bind an on actor hit event?

#

Or set some code to run in the projectile instead

#

@plush yew I would suggest doing some research on your question, and figure out what method would be easiest for you and your skillset

Also i looked other assets preview videos. all the same.
At the video(Referenced BDO) looks first getting all grass component inside (depends radius) and makes timeline to wind speed and strength. I tried same thing but.. Well first obstacle is how to get reference from foliage or overlap. PepeKMS

grim ore Mar 19, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

the video you posted those are not really animated

flat idol Mar 19, 2020, 2:03 AM

#

maybe you require a rendertarget or something to play around temporal data, thus allowing leaves to calm down periodically

grim ore Mar 19, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

it doesnt even look like more than just moving the meshes in a shaking pattern. If you look at some of the leaves its more distorting them out in a bubble

#

so something a simple shader can do

flat idol Mar 19, 2020, 2:05 AM

#

yes simple offset does just that, but he wants to animate them thats difficult i think

grim ore Mar 19, 2020, 2:05 AM

Hi guys, this is my first post here. This is both a question and kind of a discussion of opinions. I'm attempting to build a item and inventory system for an action RPG game. I'm trying to figure out what the best route for setting up items is. Some videos seem to be setting up datatables to add all the item data to, and other seems to creating actors and creating child classes to those actors. So the question is, for items that I want to both interact with in the world, use as equipment on the user, and be able to store in an inventory (IE a sword, you can see it on the ground, you can hold it in your hand, you can see it in your inventory.) What's the best practice, or in your opinion the direction I should be going towards? I'm sure there are questions about what I want it to do that might better narrow down the best direction to go.

flat idol Mar 19, 2020, 2:15 AM

#

@frail sail wind is stronger close to player and weak from afar. isnt this what you meant earlier?

frail sail Mar 19, 2020, 2:20 AM

#

Dude that idea of "wind" is how i animate them. i dont think it will work to other way to so. Cheap and Perfect than physical collision for big fights

flat idol Mar 19, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

you're correct

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:31 AM

#

@wet gazelle if the items are combinable, then probably the data table route. For just general items I guess just child classes

#

Depends how deep you want to get with it

frail sail Mar 19, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

it would be good if UE4 possibly can do this. or maybe its work with special shader of material?

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

My games guns derive from a base class, the melee and body part weapons a seperate base class

#

And a heap of child classes from them

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

I'm guessing I want to get pretty deep with it, as I'm attempting to learn how to build a system that I eventually want to base a game around. When you say combinable, do you have an example?

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

Or two foods to make a meal

#

Yeah

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 2:35 AM

#

and if I want those items to display with meshes in my world? How would that work?

#

Can you add meshes to something using a datatable?

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:36 AM

#

The child class actor would hold the mesh Info. The data table would hold all the info about what that item can do and what it can combine with

#

There's a heap of ways you could go man - and heaps of tutorials on YouTube that set this shit up anyway you want

#

There's no one way to do it

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

So you would call the datatable from a variable (ie array) inside the actor? Yea, I've been spending a week+ watching a lot of different tutorials, they all do it a bit different and I'm trying to figure out WHY one did it this way and another the other way, and which one fits what I'm doing best.

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Yeah you would do that with the data table, exactly

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

I'm sure there are countless ways to do it. I'm more or less in a place where I'm trying to iron out the differences. There still going to be general rules that every system follows though.

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

You would use it like a struct, the difference being you can change a structs data on the fly whereas a data table you cant

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 2:40 AM

#

ah!

#

which actually makes sense, because you can edit a struct directly in UE4

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:41 AM

#

Exactly

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 2:42 AM

I've never written a crafting/inventory system before, just modded/added to them, but the general jist is using either of those things

Is settings a widget or something? You need it as an object reference, and I thing casting to it would be better suited in a menu where that settings widget would likely be

settings is a custom blueprint actor i made

just a generic actor i'm trying to cast to

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 2:57 AM

Ok Javin well that actor would have to trigger your actor begin overlap event to get that object output to be settings, which you would plug Into the cast

blissful field Mar 19, 2020, 2:57 AM

@modern sinew have you recently changed the directory for unreal? it looks as though, form the error, that it's trying to pull source from your desktop. But, if you moved the application to a new folder, you will have to redirect its libraries as well.

cyan robin Mar 19, 2020, 2:57 AM

ah okay, can i do this without the actor begin overlap, like maybe on event play or something

do i create a blueprint component in the actor i'm trying to reference to connect them?

Well, if it's in the level, it has to physically touch the actor that blueprint belongs to, to set the actor overlap event running, and the object from that will plug into the settings cast

cyan robin Mar 19, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

so does that mean i have to modify the blueprint of 'settings' first?

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 3:06 AM

#

No man.. what actor does that blueprint belong to?

#

Above

cyan robin Mar 19, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

that belongs to "Creature"

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 3:07 AM

#

Basically the settings actor you dragged into the level, has to touch the actor your blueprint above belongs to to set that code off

#

And the object from that actor overlap node, will plug to your settings cast

cyan robin Mar 19, 2020, 3:07 AM

how to make blueprints touch

#

across

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

They should bother have a capsule or something that can overlap eachother

#

When the capsules overlap in the game world, it triggers the overlap events

#

But you have to set collision channels so they recognise eachother

cyan robin Mar 19, 2020, 3:10 AM

#

if i just want a blueprints as a pure data class can i declare that other as an actor and then create a reference without the physics overlap?

but having everything in one panel that i use a lot would be nice

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 3:12 AM

@cyan robin no. For a cast you have to have a physical object as far as I know

cyan robin Mar 19, 2020, 3:12 AM

#

ah okay, thanks

#

so is there a way that i can pull a global variable into the blueprints, from somewhere where i can keep all the commonly testing settings in one place, apologies for the dumb question lol

so i can update the player damage while testing

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 3:15 AM

You can get those from your context menu and cast to them from the value it returns

Even player state would be good

do you know what to drag in here for the object? or i shouldn't be casting and do something else?

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 3:26 AM

Well you just made a game state, so, right click, get game state, drag off that and cast to you game state you made. Right click it and make it a pure cast. Then drag off it and get your player damage variable (assuming you made one in that game state)

#

Easy as that

so i guess the issue is "not in scope" when i hover over the player damage value

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 3:35 AM

It has to be created in the world, via the game mode on begin play

I just know your sdk warning means you are missing something, probably in visual studio which is why it's so quick to fail the build

It's shitty it isn't saying which one tho. When my compile failed it told me which one it needed

@modern sinew @fallen marten it probably needs SDK 8.1. That seems to be the one unreal runs best with. Is there any chances you can upload the .txt file? There may be more of a breakdown there.

Windows 7 is no longer supported, Microsoft is not longer updating

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 4:49 AM

And?

#

Anyway, how does this affect anything

The redistributables may not be compatible?

Okay, wait ... lets start from the begging because I wasn't here. What are doing that isnt working?

on that page, there is a prerequisites list

normal burrow Mar 19, 2020, 4:53 AM

#

Install vs 2017 with every dotnet option enabled in individual components

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 4:53 AM

look at it, and tell me if you have met all those.

Hello, is there any expert willing to give a full 1 to 1 mentorship sessions to a complete newbie ? I have a game idea that I want to implement, and learn in the process. Seeking an expert who will walk me through and of course, you will be compensated financially for all the teaching / mentorship efforts

google youtube wtf ue4 sleep didnt workalso

normal burrow Mar 19, 2020, 4:55 AM

#

Sleep is usually when the physics object becomes fully at rest and no longer actively poled by the environment for dynamics

#

Which is also how you’ll describe what im about to do

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

@knotty valley https://www.fiverr.com/search/gigs?query=unreal&source=main_banner&search_in=everywhere&search-autocomplete-original-term=unreal might be a good place to start.

knotty valley Mar 19, 2020, 4:56 AM

#

@wet gazelle Awesome. thanks !

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 4:57 AM

#

@knotty valley I could use a couple.bucks lol

blissful field Mar 19, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

@knotty valley there's also plenty of learning resources on epic's site.

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:02 AM

#

@wet gazelle Whenever I try and download the file, the page says 404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

rancid lynx Mar 19, 2020, 5:04 AM

#

@normal burrow thankyou but.. i dropped a physics item, then walked away and waited 20 seconds, and it stilll didnt trigger the sleep - print "hello" event.

#

hmm no longer polled.

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

messaged Microsoft support

rancid lynx Mar 19, 2020, 5:05 AM

#

that sounds like setSim false.

#

i did. bill gates was coughing.

#

too soon.

#

i find it funny that google told me "we might flag your videos for false copywrite, because of coronovirus. but.. if anyone could "work from fkn home" it should be "omg internet google".

#

so i guess they will be revoking that notification shortly.

normal burrow Mar 19, 2020, 5:18 AM

#

Notifications of a physics object sleep status may need to be enabled somewhere rob. When trying to sleep getting an event on such can be restless and make falling asleep more difficult

@modern sinew I could probably resolve this if I had access to your computer, but doing it over chat would be extremely difficult. I can tell you how ever it's 100% not an UE4 issue, but an Windows issue, and to be more specific its an issue with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable. Those prerequisites are required for it to work first. So I would be checking my programs and features to make sure they are installed.

I'm trying to generate a grid of nodes so I can implement A* pathfinding. Right now my grid is made up of "node" actors. Is that efficient? Is it even possible to do it another way?

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

@modern sinew also, here is the web download for the MSU that contains the KB for the Universal CRT for Windows 7 another thing I would check is in your installed updates list is search for the KB number and see if it's listed in there KB2999226 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49077

Microsoft Download Center

Update for Windows 7 (KB2999226)

Install this update to resolve issues in Windows.

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

I got that same error

#

📎 ucrt_error.png

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

your windows update services are turned off

#

go to services

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

ok

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

Look for Windows Update

#

Right click and say start or restart

#

then try again

#

Might need to reboot your computer as well

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

same error, I'll reboot rq

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

If the reboot doesn't fix it, you might have an issue with your OS

#

@modern sinew also, here are some other options to possible fix it https://www.800error.com/error-code-0x80240037-error-2012-from-info-Failed

#

@modern sinew not to sound like a jerk, but this really is a google scavenger hunt.

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:43 AM

#

yea didn't work

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

Try those steps i posted just before.

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

yea

#

I am

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

Your Windows Update Services aren't running, which explains why you are getting the Universal CRT is missing error because it isn't installing as it can't reach the KB to install the windows update that holds that bit. So until you can fix that, you can't install the windows update. Any way, this kind of goes back to the fact that Windows 7 is no longer supported. If this is an issue occurring in the OS then you might be SOL.

modern sinew Mar 19, 2020, 5:47 AM

it said it'll take a while so I'll go make dinner in the mean time

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 5:48 AM

Hello everyone. Please I need help with the menu bar. I can't seem to find the menu bar for collisions for static meshes

@wet gazelle I did all the steps and, same error

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 6:45 AM

#

Well I'm in bed now, the only thing I can really think to do is see if you can find any more answers on Google, or install a fresh OS

jovial marsh Mar 19, 2020, 6:47 AM

Any help guys

rough hound Mar 19, 2020, 6:48 AM

#

Collisions maybe?

#

The one next to bounds and grid.

wet gazelle Mar 19, 2020, 6:49 AM

#

@modern sinew Or maybe see if you can find a windows support forum/discord

jovial marsh Mar 19, 2020, 6:50 AM

#

@rough hound i don't see where to add the collisions. The one next to bounds only shows the collision box if there's any

rough hound Mar 19, 2020, 6:51 AM

#

Think you have to add collision by code if you want a custom collision box.

#

There are probably more experienced people here who can give you a better answer though.

#

I have a seemingly dumb question I need answered. Would having "Unreal" in the title of your game make it liable for copyright strike? Say you made a racing game and you call it Unreal Racing. Unreal is trademarked by Epic afaik but I'm not sure how all this works.

gentle agate Mar 19, 2020, 7:07 AM

#

Does unreal engine support oval collision boxes? I can't seem to adjust the sphere collision to be oval

#

Is it just a matter of best fit and deal with it or lots of circles?

fallen marten Mar 19, 2020, 7:11 AM

#

Cylinder is the closest you'll get @gentle agate

gentle agate Mar 19, 2020, 7:14 AM

#

I guess i don't need to be exact. If you have a pawn thats a weird shape do you fill it with lots of cubes?

fleet cedar Mar 19, 2020, 7:25 AM

#

There's convex hull collisions which may be what you're looking for @gentle agate

gentle agate Mar 19, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

ill give that alook.

#

That appears to be what i was looking for

Hey 🙂 First of all: I'm pretty new to unreal. When I build my lighting I receive this message:

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

Can anyone tell me how I can fix that?

found why this isn't working at least; even when Steam is on it's returning false- I just don't know why it's returning false tho
