hoary onyx
Heyo if i've got a question regarding multi-user am I best to just ask here or head over to #source-control ? (as strictly seen it's no source control)
normal burrow
i don't think its really relevant to that
just ask here
ah nvm i see you over there lol
hoary onyx
😄
normal burrow
you all are on lan right?
hoary onyx
we'd be working through VPN but you could also just imagine us sitting in lan with a physical server in the corner
normal burrow
hm yeah it works like garbage over a vlan
hoary onyx
:/
normal burrow
but in terms of source control, it generally treats the session as one instance of the editor
so I think the thing to do would be to have one person commit the final results after the session is over, then everyone else update
hoary onyx
but i guess the question to the core would be can you only run the mue-server from within unreal engine?
hoary onyx
ah that's unfortunate, but i guess as an addition to source-control you'd only be using it when multiple people actually need to work in unreal at the same time
normal burrow
yeah it is complicated kind of but the one host is basically the one that would commit afterwards
again it really sucks over vlan, because it does all that syncronization. you'll get disconnects a lot
hoary onyx
so i guess it's best used for "if you really need to work at the same time for something use it, else just usual source-control"
normal burrow
its not really related to source control
hoary onyx
it just profits from it
normal burrow
it takes over that task while the server is up yeah
hoary onyx
seing as you need the exact same project files to use it 😄
normal burrow
meant to be used with the other developers at the office sort of thing
hoary onyx
true true
so it essentials acts like 1 person is currently using the project (if using source control) if I got the right?
normal burrow
it would be very cool for them to open it up to udp or something
yeah
stuff like blueprint editing is synced even
hoary onyx
yeh it got me hyped when i watched that 1 hour live stream demo thingy
appreciate the quick help 🙂
normal burrow
yeah its really cool, wish they'd open it up to slower connections

Does anybody know where I can get the Robo Recall mod kit for UE4?
They changed up their page again, and now I can't find it...seems to be gone
sharp cape
uh oh
spent the time to reinstall just in case, still looks in the original folder
it also isn't changing my source control username either meaning I have to manually input it

@smoky sonnet is that how you can get ads to play?

ue4 uses 100% cpu, 60% memory, 30% gpu, and 100% of my disk 2 (f:)
i'm in a blank project with nothing but a basic player i made
my version is 4.24
and my specs are (i5 3470, gtx 1050 ti, 12gb ddr3 memory)
normal burrow
that sounds about right
blissful trail
?
normal burrow
how long have you been in blank project?
normal burrow
it will sit there and think for awhile and 4 threads are going to be dominated
what was the crash for?
blissful trail
idk it crashed when i opened the player controller bp
normal burrow
Saved/Logs
blissful trail
witch one ?
normal burrow
most recenlty written one most likely, should be named after the project
blissful trail
i think thats an older one xd 03/29/20 lol
normal burrow
ah yeah, i didn't look closely just saw a stack trace
blissful trail
thats apparently the newest one lol
normal burrow
are you looking at the blank project?
normal burrow
would seem you didn't launch whatever project it is there since then

Hi guys, I've tried researching this but I haven't gotten many relevant results. Is there any way to export a vertex paint mask as some sort of image file?
I ask this because I am using the octane plugin for Unreal engine, and it doesn't support vertex blending directly, but there is a node called the Composite material in Octane which I can use, utilizing the masks I export from Unreal potentially.
If I could export the Red channel as one mask, the blue channel as another, and the green as one more that would be really ideal.
normal burrow
may be able to export such thing from your 3d modelling package
thin thicket
but i'm doing the vertex painting in Unreal
normal burrow
ah well, in that case you'd have to apply your vertex paint to the original asset then export to bake it somewhere else
thin thicket
Ok, I will try that. thanks

Hi Unreal community, can you please help me find a website. One of you might know about what I am talking about.
Its shown at 1:52
Its a website where you can take terrain data and use it in terrain generation.
Someone came to the rescue, thank you.

@golden condor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQqtwVnxHfs it is this if i understand correct
sry not familiar with 2d
what object do i need to make this function work ?
problably this part alone isnt enough...but i didnt wanted to spamm also xD
there are 2 widgets BP that are sending there variables to a player controllerBP that i created. Now i wanted to call the function from the thirdperson actor. I am probably doing it tottaly wrong -.-
any guidance ?
ancient lotus
@obsidian kettle controller or Player controller
obsidian kettle
my personal thoughts are. i need the timeline information
playerControllerBp
My main goal is to find a solution to separate the different functions a main thirdpersoncharacter has. I am starting with the skill Tree and i thought since it is on press input the playercontroller would be good, but i am not sure what i am missing to make it work. I can make it work when i dump all code into the thirdpersoncharacter, but i really would love learning how to separate
in the 2 widget blueprint that goes along i changed the character references i needed to the playercontroller and put the timeline code in the player controller too. Now i am trying to call it from the thirdperson character.
If you need seing the other blueprint parts i happily would show you ! just ask if needed
limber mesa
just curious @abstract relic there are no tutorials on it at all
obsidian kettle
@limber mesa i googled abit and found this video about 2d maps hopefully it can help you further https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJ5CEQGsvjI

winged elk
i was wondering if there was someway i can somehow make server without the server giving the files or somehow gain access to this https://steamdb.info/depot/920722/subs/
obsidian kettle
you want to create a sever where nobody has acces to it ? what would be the purpose of it ? lol
Sorry i have no clue on how to servers :3
winged elk
no the thing is that no one has access to create servers ... and that the game doesnt have singleplayer
and the servers are a diff app
obsidian kettle
i wish you good luck. I failed on the basic stuffs already xD
noble pulsar
so, i'm a noob when it comes to Unreal Engine, and i'm already having some issues. Is there anybody who can help me out?
obsidian kettle
cant promise but i will try
swift spindle
what seems to be your boggle ?
noble pulsar
well, i just installed Unreal engine 4 on my computer
obsidian kettle
also, everyone i got a question too. i dont want to repost, so be kind and look at my question, maybe you can help)
swift spindle
always a good start
noble pulsar
and when i open it it says, that i need dx11 feature 10.0 on my computer
thing is, i have DirectX12
swift spindle
laptop ?
noble pulsar
no, using an intel pc
noble pulsar
that's my video card am i correct?
swift spindle
yes
swift spindle
@noble pulsar its a dx10 card
noble pulsar
crap
obsidian kettle
happy to help 😄
noble pulsar
that means i just straight up have to buy a new card right?
swift spindle
depends on the rest of your system also
noble pulsar
oh?
swift spindle
if your running that... might be other issues also
and depends on what you want to achive
noble pulsar
well, i want to get the program up and running lol
obsidian kettle
we all want that xD
noble pulsar
anything else, i'll cross that bridge when i come to it
right now, this is the issue i'm focused on
swift spindle
so.. you can run unreal with dx10
swift spindle
but your gona run into issues
noble pulsar
such as?
swift spindle
well.. you make your own most of the time
swift spindle
so that's not an easy question haha
but a 500mb card is... weaksauce
my phone has more then that...
noble pulsar
well, that's what i have to deal with for now until a get a better graphics card
right now, i just want it functional
swift spindle
so you need to add " -d3d10 " to your unreal4 shortcut
noble pulsar
so, how exactly do i achieve this witchcraft you speak of
do you mean literally putting it in the shortcut name?
swift spindle
in the target
noble pulsar
not sure what that is
please, speak in retard terms so i can understand
i don't remember names, i just do
swift spindle
noble pulsar
lmao, i figured out like a second before you posted that
swift spindle
😁
noble pulsar
thanks for all the help bro, i'll see if i can get it up and running
swift spindle
but yeah... sounds like your in for some pain tho 😉
unreal is not nice to older systems for dev time
obsidian kettle
:.(
noble pulsar
so, now i'm getting this lol
what do i do now?
@swift spindle sorry for my retardation
obsidian kettle
if i compare both pics i would say add a spacebar ?
swift spindle
need a space 😛
noble pulsar
still getting the same thing sadly
obsidian kettle
Can someone help me figuring out witch object reference i need here xD
@noble pulsar what confuses me why your folder C starts with the yen symbol xD
noble pulsar
@swift spindle what do i do mate, still having the same issue
i think it might be because i have my system location set to japan
@obsidian kettle
obsidian kettle
sorry im not really familiar with hardware. not sure what to do :3
noble pulsar
i wasn't asking ya anything, i was just telling you the reason why it does that
obsidian kettle
so japan doing instead / the yen. i learned something new 🙂
noble pulsar
i wouldn't really know about that cuz i'm not from japan
lmao
well, is there anybody who can help me out with my little issue?
tiny sonnet
there is a restriction in ue4 that an actor cant wimulate pyhsics if it has overlapdynamic, so the sword im using are just floating when unequiped, is there a work around?
normal burrow
what do you mean overlapdynamic?
obsidian kettle
try do set the collision of the sword to something else
tiny sonnet
i cant, i have an overlap event on it
obsidian kettle
<- no experience, just my first thought
tiny sonnet
its fine
normal burrow
if the collision profile for the overlap checks for the sword it'll work, but if you want the sword to act as an overlap and simulate, i don't think that would work yeah
tiny sonnet
so wut do i do
normal burrow
what are you overlapping swords for
obsidian kettle
p@t, if you feel you have additional a minute, i really would ask for you help too 🙂
normal burrow
how do you move the sword?
tiny sonnet
move sword? its connected to a socket
when i unequip it, it detaches from socket
but it leaves it floating
normal burrow
Cast nodes require an input nun, you always get the same reference you pass into it out of it unless the reference wasn't a type of the target cast type (then you get nothing back)
tiny sonnet
wut
normal burrow
that was for nun
tiny sonnet
oh
normal burrow
you can change the sword to be simulated and not simulated when you want it
so take your equip code and modify it that way
tiny sonnet
that makes no sense, you want me to simulate physics then turn it off? that seems very unreliable
normal burrow
well i wouldn't have set it up to use overlap this way 😄
but i'm saying you can do it
normal burrow
you can absolutely enable and disable simulate physics
but yeah it might not be reliable
but it can be done
tiny sonnet
picking up an unequipped sword also requires an overlap so
normal burrow
the player has an overlapping volume?
tiny sonnet
yes
normal burrow
yeah only one thing needs to be an overlap
so if its simulated on the ground, and your pickup overlap hits it, it might work
tiny sonnet
oh wait, both dont need overlap?
normal burrow
no
tiny sonnet
aw shucks
that works then.
@normal burrow 1 more question
is ip hosting local or global for multiplayer
obsidian kettle
i understand it and at the same time i cant work with it. I am missing a logic. I mean, i tried creating to figure out which object refence it needs, basically used brute force, tried almost every variable lol
I also tried to create a local variable of the character i am referring but it lacks than the inputs from thw widget. The one variable i think it is, is set in a widgetBP and i have no clue to interact with it. I would love to show you the blueprints p@l if you have the time :3
getting desparate after almost 3 weeks xD
normal burrow
What is the parent type of it nun
@tiny sonnet I’ve not dealt with networking in ue4 yet
tiny sonnet
what is that trying to do nun, the image is not clear
normal burrow
If it’s the player controller
tiny sonnet
just use "get player controller"
normal burrow
You pass that in if you know the proper number
obsidian kettle
the function was supposed to work with 2 widgetBP and the regular thirdpersoncharacterBP. I am trying to use a PlayercontrollerBP and call it from the thirdpersoncharacter
tiny sonnet
yh the object is wut i wrote above
obsidian kettle
yeah thx the Bp accepts it, but the skill tree does not show up. I will check the code if i changed a node. (hopefully its only that :3 )

Has anyone had issues with massive frame drop when glass applied to windows?
I am setting up a scene in twinmotion, but I am experience deep Frame rate drop in scene when glass material applied to glass panes in upper viewing area.. if any other material applied no frame rate drop. anyone run into issue with glass material and any suggestions on how to work around this?
fierce tulip
In VR they tend to use dithered masked glass, but it might not work well everywhere.
Translucency (and especially the new 4.24 or 4.25 glass/translucency shader) can be quite costly, along with it having troubles sorting depth.
glacial pecan
@polar barn yes, glass seems to be a huge problem in Unreal
tender flume
The glass renders those objects right as well
So maybe its not a good choice to use glass to render lots of objects on it
Maybe there could be some placebo methods?

How can I get physics pawns to replicate? I tried replicating their location&rotation to the server but that didn't really work. I have the movement and controls all complete and working but can't get it working on multiplayer.
Server can move flawlessly and replicates
But clients can't even move

question, is it cheaper to merge my road meshes into an actor instance? or convert them into a single mesh?
grave nebula
situational.
fierce tulip
textures in materials, yes.
math in materials, yes.
materials as a whole, no.
I wouldnt mind a tickbox in meshes that would swizzle the uv's though, that be neat.
Could save some time rotating the uv's myself, or setting up a mat instance with rotated textures.
bitter iris
thats why i like the geo brushes ^
i just wish turning it into a mesh would be better at generating the UVs lol theyre a mess
austere scroll
@fierce tulip thats what im trying to do , rotate a UV
the one witha red circle around it is what i found on the forums
but it doesnt work since u cant put 2 things in UVs plug in the texture sample
wait if i Append UV's multiply with the custom rotator , does it work ?
fierce tulip
plug it into the bottom of that multiply where your uv's are set up
abstract relic
Or plug the tile bit to the uv of the rotator
austere scroll
like this ?
abstract relic
austere scroll
ok thanks , it worked 👍

2- Holding shift while clicking on the area

is there any way to turn a skeletal mesh into a static one on-the-fly?

either your version control locked the file, or it suddenly got turned to read only, or you have two versions of the project open.

are you sure you arent just out of video memory though? @young stone
@spare sun how do I know if I am, I don't have any programs running in the background and this problem occurs when I compile a blueprint>the editor freezes> starts eating ram till reaches 100% (16gb)> that error pops up
spare sun
you can watch the gpu memory usage in the task manager.
usually when gpu runs out of memory, applications start using ram instead - hence the huge ram usage. Its quite a bit slower though
young stone
I'll look into that
I also tried deleting all the nodes in the blueprint=still crashes on compile, then tried also deleting all the functions and variables=doesn't crash on compile

if ur running from source might be just a leak tbh

Good afternoon guys
I have a question: i have a playerstart object in the position 0,0,0. I want my bP player is spawned in that position
But ever i play the game, the player all time is spawned at 0,15,0, why?
light thunder
@rotund monolith is the player falling/moving? make sure the space is empty because if there is something colliding with it, it will spawn you on top of it
rotund monolith
It is empty
i emsured it myself moving the player start
if i move PlayerStart to 0,15,0, players appears in that position
if i move PlayerStart to 0,-15,0, players still appears in 0,15,0

I am having the hardest time making an animation montage blend with the walking animation. I am setting the montage to the UpperBody Group and splitting at the spine_01 bone. however the legs just stop responding. The animation plays, but the legs just dont move.
I have followed all the tutorials online which are all just slightly adjusted variations of the same thing. lol
Am i missing something?
plush yew
In unity we have events like this:
OnCollisionEnter
- OnCollisionEnter is called when this collider/rigidbody has begun touching another rigidbody/collid
How can i detect similar behavior in UE4? As we only have the Hit Event no other event tells when the rigid body ended the Hit, and overlap events don't fire if the rigid body is only "touching"
velvet pawn
@marsh swallow I would follow the tutorial to the T at first, then tweak it after the fact.
plush yew
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionExit.html
so what is the UE4 equivalent of this?
marsh swallow
@velvet pawn I am. lol
thats my problem. I followed many of them, pretty much all of them doing the same thing. and never get their result

Hey, I'm pretty new to UE4 and 3D-Stuff in general, so I hope this is an easy one:
As you can see in the picture, the light isn't working as it should on the selected object. In fact the opposite side gets illuminated by the point light. Does anyone know why?
velvet pawn
@rare ivy It might be the IsFalling? node.... I can't remember if there is an InAir? node, but that would be better for what you are doing
dense gorge
I’m working on my first UE4 level - interested to know the solution for reference @autumn cove
velvet pawn
Or create an INT with the jump that goes up by 1, and OnLanded event resets to 0
Branch from "E" Keypress that if the counter is 1 or more, do the flip, false does nothing
rare ivy
@velvet pawn couldnt find a in air node but also the weird thing is that it works perfectly fine the first time I press E but after that not anymore ... hmmmm
velvet pawn
I am having a very similar issue with my multi-jumps
I can do it once, then the character has to fall off something again before I can do it again, but only during the fall, and not after landed again

limber mesa
@fickle wharf sorry for the ping but do you know what I can do to save this
limber mesa
Someone was saying that version control blocked it
fickle wharf
check if you have multiple instances of the editor open
sometimes when the editor crashes or you close it
it doesnt fully close
and then the files stay open
fickle wharf
what VCS are you using?
limber mesa
Idk how do I check?
fickle wharf
... how do you not know what version control you're using
limber mesa
I just started using ue4.
fickle wharf
i'll assume you arent using one lol
VCS = version control software
for ue4 that means perforce most of the time
limber mesa
So I go to project settings?
fickle wharf
no, it's not relevant
you can check above the map editor
there is a button "version control"
if it says not connected, you're not using one
limber mesa
Map editor?

What provider do I use
hearty walrus
please explain source control to me
fickle wharf
go google it, it's a massive topic and not a 5 min explanation
limber mesa
So what do I do to fix it
fickle wharf
back to the saving issue... i'd restart pc and reopen the project
limber mesa
I did
fickle wharf
unless there's a lot of work you'd lose
limber mesa
I was experiencing with light shaders
fickle wharf
hmm yeah so basically
sometimes this happens because you edit a bunch of stuff
but then forget to save them
and then well... sometimes that happens
that's especially true with materials, i've encountered this before
you do stuff and you have no idea what you're really doing and well
it just ends up confusing the shit outta the compiler and you cant save it in the end xd
fickle wharf
try compling all open materials
and other assets
then saving them one by one
usually that will work
limber mesa
I always compile and save
fickle wharf
apart from that, i dont really know enough the engine either
limber mesa
What’s a localization service
fickle wharf
do you get an error log?

Ok

it might shed some light to this issue

inb4 its path length issue
grim ore
its not, look at the name of the file its trying to save
limber mesa
I checked show engine content and show plugin content
spare sun
oh
grim ore
dont edit engine or plugin content, make a copy of that material and put it in your project then edit it
spare sun
ur editing default content
limber mesa
Yes, I’m following a tutorial on light shaders
grim ore
cool. You want an answer to why it wont save you have it now, its up to you on what you want to do with that info
limber mesa
So it won’t save because I am editing the default content?
fickle wharf
huh, TIL 😄
spare sun
well basically ur editing content thats not even part of ur project
its part of the engine itself
limber mesa
Ok
That’s why my screen is black
Thanks everyone
@grim ore this was what I was following https://youtu.be/a1hKdNauLLw
Around 8min he starts
grim ore
im not saying it shouldnt save, it should save if you are doing it right. But editing plugin/editor content directly is never the right was since it's shared between projects
fickle wharf
@grim ore btw are you the author of "Wtf Is?" series on yt?
grim ore
I am yep
limber mesa
He is
sonic gust
that series is awesome ^_^ good job!
fickle wharf
love your content, has helped me understand a whole bunch of undocumented stuff over the months :D
limber mesa
So @grim ore so I would make a copy of that material?
grim ore
yep I would make it
limber mesa
And put it in the same folder?
fickle wharf
you should put it into your project
sonic gust
btw, not should where I should ask this, maybe the bp channel, but - I have a widget which contains another child widget - I want to set a variable "parent widget" on the child as "self" - is it possible without constructing the thing in BP? (I tried using get parent but that gets the canvas and using a double get parent doesn't sound right)
fickle wharf
the default content is located where the engine is installed

Ok so put it under my content folder

Is there anyway to change precision of a float property when changing in the editor? For example, with an anchor I want more precise than 2 decimals
fickle wharf
uh... add more zeroes?
obsidian nimbus
print screen and controll V in chat, better than pictures with mobile 😛
upper heart
it rounds to 2 decimals
fickle wharf
its also entirely possible the engine simply doesn't allow bigger precision than what you enter
upper heart
yea looks like it
obsidian nimbus
can u click and drag with mouse?
upper heart
On the property itself it still snaps
But in the umg editor it works, although the property still reads .02

spin boxes support variable precision
you'd have to edit the customization for that property and increase it

im a beginner of unreal engine and when ever i add NavMesh it and go to show and enable it it wont be green or red why ?
spare sun
the navmesh volume has to include something you can run on
vital nebula
i have a geometry
vital nebula
i did
spare sun
its not intersecting with the floor
glacial belfry
yo guys. Anyone using the media plugins having issues with the stream not updating unless the media player is open?

spare sun
it is too high, it should be intersecting
vital nebula
oh let me try
spare sun
it only generates navmesh for the things inside it
spare sun
if the floor isnt inside it then it doesn't account for that

hey guys, i want to draw some lines in a 3d space and am having trouble. I know about the "Draw debug line" Node but is there something that is not for debugging? is it, like, illegal to use the debug stuff in the published game?
nimble moat
does anyone know a fix to substance source infinite loading?
abstract relic
I would like to meet the dev police if it were 😜
gilded igloo
I know, right?
obsidian nimbus
some debug stuff wont show in cooked
abstract relic
Look into splines, 3D widget, render target. Spline is probably what you want
gilded igloo
hmm, I know what a spline is, can I draw stuff around it?
gilded igloo
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 🤔
abstract relic
Sod off you lurking pat 😂
So the approach would be to draw extra pixels along the curve. You can do this with any general outline. Here's an example of drawing an outline (hopefully it won't be blurry)
next, you want to apply the effect on stencil. You need to make sure it's enabled in project setting and define the stencil value within the object
Then mask it all out. Note, you can make the effect render through walls by switching to Before tonemapping but here's an alternative
all in post process mat
gilded igloo
none of the pictures loaded :/
abstract relic
nooo
normal burrow
you must click
and you can see, have to open them in browser. discord is weird right now.
abstract relic
yaay
Let me know how it goes. Been fiddling with stencils for a while now. Would love to see more applicable data on it
gilded igloo
so wait a sec, what does all the code above allow me to do?
abstract relic
basically draws like a debug line
gilded igloo
where?
abstract relic
have a curve, let the player define the start and endpoint, give it a stencil value, the post process will draw line along the curve
gilded igloo
what do u mean a curve? a spline? I am sorry for all the questions, all these material stuff is kinda new to me..
abstract relic
Yes spline. My apologies, I use the term interchangeably
gilded igloo
lol, its alright. thx a lot!

tame flint
Does anyone know how to trigger initial speed and maxspeed on a projectile if it overlaps another volume. I am trying to create a trampoline effect. If a block with projectile movement is pushed onto a trampoline the block activates a upward projectile force?
I need to use a projectilecomponent please dont tell me to use addforce.
normal burrow
eh i am having a trouble with the word trampoline
but if you specify a direction (like up) for the overlap volume, then reflect the velocity of the projectile by it, it will ricochet
vital nebula
Guys i need ur help lol for some reason the triggerbox wont work it wont spawn why and im a bigginer
normal burrow
hm i think things are a bit off there minblud
try using a timer by delegate/event, something else anyways
you see that red square in the corner top of the event?
normal burrow
ok
vital nebula
i dont see any red ones ?
normal burrow
ok
vital nebula
i type timer but there is nothing
normal burrow
try removing the Function Name argument on the event first
matheww will know what to do here
tame flint
@normal burrow let me just make this a more general. I want an actor with projectile movement to execute movement after it has overlapped another actors sphere volume.
normal burrow
yeah i understand simpill
grim ore
you know epic and the community should really make documentation and videos covering all of this stuff then maybe people would have content to watch and read before asking how to do stuff.....
vital nebula
hmm
normal burrow
is the overlapped actor the one that changes the trajectory or the projectile itself?
yeah they could have a wiki , or something
minblud try not dragging out the red square and right clicking to find a set timer node
that is not by function name
tiny sonnet
@normal burrow if a player spawns a projectile that causes damage, the instigator is the player right?
tame flint
it is weird seems pretty straight forward. But i am not getting the result i want. @grim ore love your stuff watched your BP video on projectiles and I am using trying to use it to execute homing movement towards another actor after it overlaps another actor>
normal burrow
instigator is the pawn responsible for the projectile yes
vital nebula
first i removed the function name lol and replaced it
normal burrow
vital nebula
now i wana drag the red cube and ad the timer but there is no timer when i type it
normal burrow
looks like the answer is in there, watch that
vital nebula
ok let me watch it
normal burrow
ok
stuck anchor
Anyone know when the next free Monthly content is coming?
tame flint
ok @normal burrow here is the deal. I want to push another actor with projectile movement into another actors sphere volume and when that happens i want the actor with projectile movement to move towards that actor.
I want to utilize the homing ability that projectile movement has built in
normal burrow
ok well assuming you know how overlaps work, the answer your likely looking for here is to change the velocity
tame flint
yes
i already have the overlap executing a text saying overlapped confirming that the two actors are indeed overlapping
now i just need to execute a change in velocity when this happens
normal burrow
yes
tame flint
its not working
i think its my syntax or my commands
here is a snippet of code
this is inside the overlapp function by the way
{
UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Overlapped"));
ProjectileMovment->bAutoActivate = true;
ProjectileMovment->bSimulationEnabled = true;
ProjectileMovment->Activate();
ProjectileMovment->UpdatedComponent = ;
ProjectileMovment->InitialSpeed = 2000.f;
ProjectileMovment->MaxSpeed = 10000.f;
} ```you are getting this log message?
tame flint
yes
i don't understand why ProjectileMovment->InitialSpeed = 2000.f; ProjectileMovment->MaxSpeed = 10000.f; works in the constructor but will not execute in the overlap function
if i put ProjectileMovment->InitialSpeed = 2000.f; ProjectileMovment->MaxSpeed = 10000.f; in the constructor it executes on spawn
normal burrow
there should be a ->Velocity no?
tame flint
not sure just started working with projectilemovement in c++. I am referencing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM3TXKI-4co&t=658s and translating it to c++
it covers the use of homing which is what I ultimately need to use in the end I am just trying to add a simple initial speed before jumping into homing
normal burrow
ProjectileMovment->UpdatedComponent = ; that line wouldn't compile btw so you might mistakenly be thinking its compiled if your not launching from vs
tame flint
no i am sorry that was commented out lol
normal burrow
but yeah ->Velocity is the thing you need to modify
tame flint
i think velocity refers to direction and initial speed refers to (initial velocity) and Max speed refers to (max velocity)
normal burrow
could be, but velocity is generally direction and speed
i would guess its the current of these
but i honestly haven't used the projectile code much
direction and its magnitude is speed in said direction
tame flint
isnt velocity an FVector(x,y,z)?
tame flint
yes a vector with length one
normal burrow
yep
and velocity is a vector with length of its speed
Velocity.Size() == speed rather
tame flint
example 1,0,0 moves forward in x dir and 0,1,0 moves y etcc
normal burrow
yep and each of those would be 1 cm per second
100,0,0 would be 100cm per second on +x
tame flint
i know that is why i set velocity to (0,0,1) and maxspeed to 1000
or do i have to specify velocity = (0,0,1000) ?
normal burrow
ProjectileMovement->Velocity = ProjectileMovement->Velocity.MirrorByVector(FVector{ 0.f,0.f,1.0f });```try this
this will reflect the current veloicty against a trampoline surface that faces up.
so long as that log happens one time exactly anyways
if your running that math every frame its inside it'll be weird
tame flint
i know i am just trying to get it to do something then i was going to fix it lol
what does mirrorbyvect do?
normal burrow
imagine your hand with fingers forward going at your desk at a slope of 45% downwards
MirrorByVector(up)
would make the direction of your hand be 45% upwards
its like a mirror desk
normal burrow
i think so? lol
tame flint
its kind of a ricochet effect
normal burrow
yes it is a ricochet
spare sun
exactly
tame flint
ok
anyway it didnt work
when i push the actor into the other actors volume nothing happens
normal burrow
how many log messages do you get when it enters the overlap?
tame flint
1
normal burrow
k will look at code quickly
tame flint
yes?
normal burrow
could you disable the homing part temporarily?
tame flint
this is why i hate trying to translate bp to c++
honestly @normal burrow i just want the god damn object to move forward, upwards just to see its executing projectile movement
tame flint
ok
normal burrow
it seems possible that you might need to rotate the projectile as well
tame flint
do i have to enable or disable projectile movement? I mean if i put it in the constructor it works

did they remove the c++ templates from 4.24?

@normal burrow if we are mirroring (0,0,1) isnt that creating a downward velocity into the ground???

@lucid magnet look at the widget component
tame flint
@grim ore thanks for the projectilemovement comp video, but when you try to trigger velocity on an overlap nothing happens. Gotta love c++
grim ore
@lucid magnet You can use UMG widgets in world space using the widget component
tame flint
@normal burrow ok
lucid magnet
how would i set that up?
urban meadow
@lucid magnet make UI using UMG, add a widget component to your actor, set your ui to that widget component, set it to world space
tame flint
@pot why does it work if i do it in the constructor?
grim ore
@grim shale that sounds like your line trace is not hitting a valid target
grim ore
if the error is on the hit actor break result, it means the hit actor is not valid, which means your hit result is not valid which means your line trace had no result
normal burrow
it should work at runtime too simpill, when i take a look at the projectile code though, it seems like there are many options that would defeat this setting of velocity
bRotationFollowsVelocity for example
grim shale
It should as it showed a green line coming out of the character when it hit it.
normal burrow
you could try calling UpdateComponentVelocity() after changing the velocity @tame flint
tame flint
ok

Hey sorry I'm not sure where to ask this.
Has anyone had micro stutters every couple of seconds in UE4 editor? Its a super basic project with 10 meshes. Didn't stutter before but now for some reason it does. Running on high-end pc.
grim shale
Maybe am putting the tag in the wrong component?
plush yew
Hmm, I'll keep debugging this problem
grim shale
I have it in the top most component, Should i tag the mesh or the capsule component instead?
grim ore
@grim shale show your code or uh breakpoint on your if and see what it says when you mouse over the results
there are 2 types of tags, actor tags and component tags. they are not the same
if doing actor has tag then you should be checking for the tag on the actor, not on any components

I'm playing with editing structures that have been built into data tables and referenced in pre-construct events on certain widgets....is there anyway to do this without crashing unreal? I've tried closing the assets and also disconnecting the execution pins to the preconstuction.
The change i am making is cosmetic, simply changing a string value, I know it has to cascade through the data table and maybe that's the problem but it's not that deep or complex

How come shadows are so taxing in UE4?
Or is it the light sources themselves
🤔
I have a small level that my team and I created and the shadows or lights (I can't tell which) drop fps significantly
Is there a way to optimize it?
plush yew
Speaking of taxing ...
- What is unreal engine doing by default for performance
- How would you guys calculate a Render Budget ?
kindred viper
- optimising when possible.
- Simply profile everything at every stage
plush yew
@spare steeple If I have movable lights by chance, would that be the reason for the immense lag?
I have like 5 or 6
kindred viper
yes
plush yew
I believe
spare steeple
movable and stationary lights calculate their shadows every frame
plush yew
Oh bruh
Ok
The lights are on characters
I should probably just stick to emissive instead?
kindred viper
so they are also getting physics applied. Ouch
spare steeple
depends on what its for, emissive materials dont light the environment
plush yew
.-.
- optimising when possible.
- Simply profile everything at every stage
@kindred viper Sure sure but Heard there are some things UE does normally so I don't want to waste time reinventing the wheel
kindred viper
depends what you mean really. Render budget encompasses a lot.

hey so, I tried to make a pawn, and it works as expected in singleplayer, in a new gamemode blueprint. however, when I increase the player count both pawns are spawned in the center right below the map instead of at the network spawn. any ideas why this could be?
lucid magnet
so i have attached my HUD to my mesh, and then a bone socket - making it a ''floating HUD'', but i bounced up and down just a bit too much - how can i make it bounce less while still being attached to my socket?
kindred viper
@plush yew you need to recompile whatever plugin/module in Visual Studio. Using the source. If you are using the binary version then its probably a plugin.
@crude furnace Thats difficult to say without seeing any code
@lucid magnet Use a spring arm and attach it to that
paper kernel
no spring arm wont fix that
bones are just shaky, you cant really attach anything to them
you could try average the location of the socket and something else
to make it smoother, otherwise interpolating to socket location just makes it look like it lags behind
plush yew
How do I recompile??
ionic lagoon
Anyone know if I can import a custom float into a timeline?
I mean like from a variable
kindred viper
@plush yew you are going to have to go find a tutorial for that
@paper kernel why wont a spring arm fix it? Works for cameras. Kind of the point of it. To add an intertial adjustment. Have you come across any particular problems in particular with this method?

lucid magnet
is there any way i can set my Health HUD to only be added to the viewport if my current health variable is under 100%?
grim ore
it would be better to have it in the viewport at all times and just toggle the visibility when you change health
grim ore
pretty much just how I described it. Whenever you change health on the player set the visibility of the widget to visible or not based on whatever you want.
lucid magnet
i have tried something like this, but it doesnt work
grim ore
creating the widget is not the same as changing its visibilty. You want to create it once and then just change its visibility later
lucid magnet
ok
grim ore
if you are using a widget component you dont even need to create it, it should already be there
grim ore
I thought this was using the widget component to put it in 3d?
grim ore
This is the basic example of what I was saying. This is using a Widget Component on the player to show health (a UMG Widget that just has a progress bar in it and an event to change its value).
an alternate would be to let the widget control itself, so after setting the value the widget would control if it is visible or not (the code above after Set Value would be in the widget basically)
again these are the basics, this has to be changed to fit your code structure but this is the theory behind it. Change health, update health, if health is a certain value change visibility
lucid magnet
ok i understand what you have done there
but how do i set up a UMG
i lag that knowledge
tame flint
when using homing with a projectile does the actor have to have physics disabled?
grim ore
There are plenty of videos and docs out there on UMG widgets
grim ore
if you are just using HUD the same principle applies I guess

i have a problem, when i have multiple swords on the field to be equiped only the sword which was equipped first has damage. for example, one of the swords in the field does 50 dmg, the other one does 10( networked btw). If a player pickup the one that does 50 dmg first, then another player pickups the sword that is supposed to do 10 dmg, it still does 50 dmg. dmg is replicated. I only have a SINGLE sword bp, which i can edit with instances to specify dmg.

@lucid magnet have you tried to check if the current stamina == max stamina to stop the function
Untick Use Controller Rotation Yaw and check if its fixed @limber mesa
limber mesa
It is but he doesn’t flip directions
This is what I have for the rotation
And it got affected
runic fern
You want the cam flip

@runic fern essentially - what i am trying to do is to change the visibility of my HUD when stamina = max stamina
but it either dowsnt work
or keeps blinking
this does not work
for example

Yes
runic fern
Ive never worked with 2d but i think you beed to make player animation looking to left i think and assign it to A button

how would i do that

Is it recommended?
limber mesa
@gusty agate there are tutorials on YouTube

this works - it resets the ability to toggle on the stamina HUD when starting to use stamina - but when it reaches 100% and the max stamina resets the action it start to blink and go in circles...
@runic fern
quite a struggle
golden condor
i never worked with destructible environments before. First time and have less than a week to do it.
gusty agate
but its not what i want
tame flint
@grim ore well that sucks i was trying to create a magnet effect
lucid magnet
so i need something else than a do once
runic fern
Yes because you are calling the function everytick and its already current stam equal to max so will keep go for true
golden condor
Is Chaos recommended?
runic fern
You can use boolean
Boolean calls isstaminamax?
Set true after you executing
Amd check it after currentstamina == maxstamina
grim ore
@golden condor check out the docs and the example project and see if it would work for you. There is no way of knowing if it would fit your project.
limber mesa
Hey @grim ore sorry for the ping but can you help me out real quick

Emm, I did and it would. I just never tried anything like this and I am scared @grim ore
Its a first for me and I am doubting myself since it looks too good in every demo I've seen.
grim ore
@limber mesa if I could I would, I have no idea what the issue is or where it is broken
@golden condor like anything else it's going to take work to make it work well so if you have the time and make the effort it will come out like you see in the samples
limber mesa
I was following your 2d camera tutorial and I messed up somewhere and this happens
@grim ore
golden condor
The problem is that I have less than a week for a full implementation into the prototype. This is a throwaway project and we will be graded on. That's why I am really scared of it.

I saw that but I have no idea why it is doing that

@runic fern i dont completely understand how a can do that

If you have any idea for an easier implementation please do tell.
