@kindred viper wait so is it possible to add the physics animations to vr hands so it doesn't clip into objects?
kindred viper
remember that binding visibility has a performance cost. Better to use an event to do it manually. But if performance doesn't bother you, carry on.
@novel summit should be. I mean, I can't see why not. Everything is possible.
novel summit
Ok thanks

hello any one have a good tutorial for create a side scroller game ?
kindred viper
there is a side scroller example isn't there?
acoustic wraith
Does anyone know the performance impact of having Dynamic Material Instances versus regular Material Instances?
plush yew
Can someone tell me who to get this to work? I cant set the WidgetSwitcher to invisible from the player blueprint
kindred viper
yeah thats a bit broad of a question. If you mean at a 1:1 ratio, a material instance has less overhead because it doesn't need to check for parameters I guess. But if you want compere it to real-case usage with a purpose, then using DMI is probably going to be saving you some frametime here and there.
frozen pond
hi guys, so i have problem with FPS, when i spawn multiple actors from a class i get huge fps drop from 120 to less that 30
i spawn them in play time
kindred viper
then you need to pool them. Spawning is a heavy cost for performance
frozen pond
what you mean by pool them ?
kindred viper
it means you pre-load them, and keep them ready to use. So they are already spawned but "out of the way"
frozen pond
but what if i want to build something? lets say like minecraft creative mode?
kindred viper
?
this presumes I play minecraft :p
the only thing I do with minecraft is shout "STFU" at the kids when they argue about destroying each other's crap
frozen pond
so player create a lot of new actors, snap them together and build houses etc.
kindred viper
well when you play lego, do you start by moulding plastic to make new legos, or do you buy legos and keep them ready?
@umbral ferry its not easy to find a tutorial for a whole game. As it would be 2000 hours long.
frozen pond
@kindred viper video says about stuff that dissapear, but what about stuff that dont ?
kindred viper
it was just an example. You have to use your own insight into your game to relate how it is useful to you.
plush yew
hello
frozen pond
@kindred viper so maybe diffrent question, should i spawn every time new wall (wall actor is checking overlaping etc.), or should i try to add new static meshes to my blueprint like spawn actor floor, then add static mesh wall to floor ?
kindred viper
I've no idea dude. It's not my game, I dont even know what you are trying to do. Im sure you can figure it out ๐
umbral ferry
i m stuck here, where the c++ code appear ?
frozen pond
still not a game lol, trying to do building system, with multiple houses
digital anchor
if stuff doesnt disappear actor pool is completely useless
kindred viper
well then you you should pre-load the base objects and instance them when needed. If performance is kicking you in the face, pool a few of them first and just refresh the pool content when you have a spare frame or two.
frozen pond
probably i will change concept to adding static meshes to actor instead of spawning multiple actores

@warped sun How big is your level and where is the location of the Character? (because you might be suffering floating point errors if you are way out from world origin)

lusty rampart
I just watched that tutorial, but it didn't answer my specific question about how to have the gun mesh change when you switch your gun - it re-uses the same mesh, just changes its behavior. I'm trying to understand how you combine the behavior and the mesh into a single object that gets swapped in and out at a skeletal socket
warped sun
its rotating very slightly when i press left and right and S
kindred viper
ok. then check the rotation code. ๐
kindred viper
does the gun have collision?
cyan robin
how do you do step #2 here?
-
make sure you've specified on the Play Anim Montage node WHICH montage to play
-
make sure you're feeding an active slot! A montage needs at least one slot name, and you have to make sure the output of that slot is actually being fed to the anim graph (either outside the state machine, or inside the state machine in an active state at the time the montage is played).

@plush yew Funny you should say that. Unreal used to have a fallback system for inferior hardware to allow more usability across platforms, but I think they removed that and use enforced minimums now.

Anyone know when a character hits 0 mana, is it possible for him to stop flying and fall down. I used stop character movement immediately but that stops him in mid air
fallen marten
Simulate physics
limber mesa
Where do I do it at
fallen marten
Your root bone needs a collision capsule tho
So add it to the physics asset first, then after your stop movement node, use your mesh as reference and call simulate physics
limber mesa
Sorry but Iโm kinda confused, I just transitioned to 3D
fallen marten
You'll have to google what I said because I'm on my phone and can't screen shot you an example rn
fallen marten
Simulate physics
limber mesa
In mid air?
fallen marten
No, just in general. It's one node, or, you can simulate physics from one bone down the chain for example, to simulate a gunshot on an arm, you would simulate physics below, and use the shoulders bone name in the bone input on the node
storm venture
sorry to interrupt; does anyone know if its possible to use a material as a parameter for another material?
i need a system that can take any arbitrary material and overlay some effect on it to simulate a glowing/hovering feedback
grim ore
If you are using a character you might want to rethink using physics to do this. How are you "flying"
limber mesa
I set flying
grim ore
so you set the movement mode to flying from?
grim ore
from what?
grim ore
what was the movement mode before you change it to flying
limber mesa
Walking

seems like it might make sense to change it back when done flying...

what ever texture i add it will look super small
Is there a way to fix this?
The problem not in the texture as i tried many other
winged crypt
anyone know why "navmesh walking" mode causes characters to float above ground?
regular "walking" doesn't have the same problem
@plush yew you can scale the tiling with a texture coordinate
plush yew
@winged crypt Am trying to search for it in the texture it self
or am i looking in the wrong place?
winged crypt
this would be in the material
look up "how to scale textures in materials"
it's a fairly simple set-up
rustic panther
@kindred viper I took apart my widget and found when I turn this Scale Box these buttons are in to Auto Size it moves focus down by 1 button....
I don't understand
kindred viper
me neither tbh
rustic panther
I have 2 scale boxes in a vert box set to Fit .5
kindred viper
and the scale box has two buttons in?
rustic panther
5
kindred viper
hmm so its not cycling the scale boxes, but going 2 elements within?
rustic panther
no it's just moving through the buttons inside the scale box
the buttons are in a nested widget
kindred viper
I'd check the widget reflector and see if you can notice the action causing it. Sounds like its using two events (akin to OnPress, OnRelease rather than OnClick)
rustic panther
oh forgot about that thing
I dunno, but changing the scale box's size from Fill to Auto fixes it for some reason

Anyone happen to know why I cant select my blend space for the anim class of my mesh

https://gyazo.com/6ac65e7735d03b0e411ecf2bd165ad4d i've made an item shop similar to fortnite. but i have an issue. when i purchase a skin it works. but when i close and reopen the item shop widget. the item is no longer purchased. any ideas? thus making it possible to buy the same skin multiple times
ionic lagoon
I'm following a tutorial, the link will have it start where I am https://youtu.be/DimZmTd5H44?t=847

all the info is being pulled from a data table. but i have no way of setting a purchased boolean to true and then saving it back out again
grim ore
cant really tell where you are stuck at based on that link and what you said
ionic lagoon
Oh thats a bit early one sec
lime girder
This may be a dumb question but im having a hell of time googling it. How do I pick different LODs depending on platform (Desktop vs mobile) ?
harsh tiger
looks like it isn't possible to do through a data table. which makes me ask the question, how have epic done it in fortnite?
grim ore
if you mean when he selects the anim bp later, he is selecting the anim bp not the blend space
grim ore
unless you mean where they are adding the blendspace to the anim bp itself
grim ore
@harsh tiger data tables would be used for read only, so they would be doing it another way . They probably have a back end system that stores that info in their account system
for example with the mobile platforms google and apple keep receipts you can query if you need to validate a purchase was made thru their store. Epic probably does something similar as well as flagging the account when it's purchased as they hold the account on their side.
is this something using real world money and a transaction system or just in game currency for a local game?
harsh tiger
ah okay, that makes sense. however i'm just making a little single player game for a college project so i wouldn't need something that complex. what would you recommend?
in game currency for local game
grim ore
then save the item ID inside their save game when they purchase it. basically keep an array of all purchased by ID in the save game object for the game
harsh tiger
would that be a matter of saving skin(x) in the array?
grim ore
looks like the easiest way. Just save the ones they actually purchase. Whenever you load the game or store or both or whatever just check that array and unlock whatever is there.
harsh tiger
definitely sounds the easy than the other method. but still not very easy for me ๐ thanks for the info anyway!
grim ore
well if it helps this is a good example for something I am working on that I just added to the list lol
harsh tiger
working on as in a new yt tut? or a personal project
grim ore
something for Epic actually covering Save Game. I like the idea of a complete store loop as an example
harsh tiger
oh wow! sounds incredible. i think it can be hard to find good info for store loops on google. do you have an eta?
grim ore
months unfortunately ๐ฆ
your stuff seems fine just look into the Save Game object, the docs cover it fairly well.
harsh tiger
arrr. i'm sure it'll be worth it. an thanks! i've created a name array and saving that to my GI and then using it to determine if somethings been purchased. not working so far though
is that the right way to go about it?
grim ore
depending on what you are checking but seems like it would work
harsh tiger
on the construct yeah
grim ore
ah smart ๐
harsh tiger
all the info is being pulled from this data table. but i want to find a way to be able to update the data table from a website or something and be able to change it in run time
it'd be cool to have it so every day at midnight the items randomize like in fortnite
if i buy a skin an go to the main menu an back to the shop an buy the other skin it works perfectly. but if i go the shop an buy both skins and then go to the menu an back to the shop, then only 1 item shows as purchased
the item i buy last is the one which shows as purchased. like it overwrites the other purchase
i think this is wrong somewhere
this fixed it

Youโll want to use something better than launch character @velvet pawn . If character has an add force node (not velocity, not impulse) then use it. You can defeat gravity by applying its opposite acceleration. If you must use force that would be mass * -980

Hi guys
How do you do to have nice seamless texture with the lighting (I'm not talking about the texture itself) when you combine meshes (notably with modular assets) ?
I found this tutorial which explains very simply how to do this (in short : just reduce the Static Level) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eruvJhZ460
I tried to the same thing but apparently, it doesn't work with me. Don't know why... ๐
covert ivy
@plush yew Yep I have a lightmass importance volume and yes I have build my lighting
For the static/dynamic thing, I just clicked in the "Mobility" tab and switching between Static, Station and Movab
for the Directional Light and the SkyLight
but it doesn't resolve the problem
It doesn't need to rebuild the light when switching between this parameters, right ? ๐ค
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...

@covert ivy that artefact is very likely generated by your UV map which doesn't wrap around (the normals and the tangents are discontinuous). You can rethink where your seams are or use smoothing.
covert ivy
@patent cobalt Ah ! Very interesting ! I'm checking my UVs right now. Here what it looks like :
I don't remember if I did a Smart UV Project or if I unwrapped manually but it's very probable that the problem comes from here !
I must admit I'm not a pro of the UV unwrapping ^^
I'm also noticing that the UVs in blender are slightly differents (see the part surrended in red) I don't know if it can be an importance ๐ค :

if i move PlayerStart to 0,-15,0, players still appears in 0,15,0

Could really use some advice for something. Please let me know ๐

So the engine has Raytracing as an option when creating a project, what does this option means exactly? Is the whole rendering raytrace?
But most importantly I'm curious to know if it's possible to ship a game that allow the user to choose that option rather than deciding yourself
fierce tulip
@rare axle assuming you got ignored is quite... meh.
If nobody is around that knows the answer, they cant answer.
Could try #graphics instead.
rare axle
It's not really a graphics question
There's no specific channel that covers this unfortunately ;l

is making an UFUNCTION with void return type not allowed?
green venture
it is allowed
trim dawn
UFUNCTION(Category = "Climbing", BlueprintCallable) inline void SetbCanClimb(const bool tf) {bCanClimb = tf;} gives me error that void is not recognized "must be ustruct enum etc.."
green venture
remove inline?
trim dawn
oh, so inline is not allowed in UFUNCTION?
green venture
No cuz it removes the function
In C++ inline function get..well.. Inllned
So after compilation the function wont exist anymore
So my game is much much slower once packaged, than it is in dev mod. Dev mode is a pretty much stable 300FPS, but once packaged, the game stutter veryy severly every few seconds
Any ideas?
(Dev is fullscreen so its not a viewport size issue)
The FPS in non stutter situation stays the same vs. dev
But every few dozens seconds it will drop to 5 FPS for 2 - 3 sec and cmoe back

@rain relic what's the problem? Your pivot point being far away from the mesh?

You need to reimport setting a translation
Or go back to your DCC tool (Blender/Maya/...) and fix the pivot point.
You can also move the Pivot directly inside Unreal but only if the actor is in the editor viewport

Guys, generic question:
I'm developing a first person game. How can I see the scene from outside the first person camera when running so that I can visually see if things are working (like hand placement and guns)?
In Unity there's a distinction between a Game window and a Scene window, where you can see and move around both at the same time.
But in Unreal I'm having trouble figuring out how to visually debug the scene
half turtle
you could use a scene capture
with independent controls and add it to the viewport
at least i dont know of an independent "camera"

you would not be plugging that many into that one node, that one node only goes to base color so why would you plug in your normal, AO, roughness, etc.
austere scroll
@grim ore bcz i want to paint it on the ground , and i want it to look realistic , not a plain color
grim ore
doesnt change what I said
your paint the material, the material has settings
your asking how you should put the normal map into the base color on that material
what @plush yew said is the correct answer, you would have a layer blend for each material output you want
austere scroll
but how am i gonna paint it on the landscape ????
grim ore
why would it be different if you are using more than one layer blend?
you have a layer blend right now plugged into Base Color that is taking in your Textures/colors for that material. You would have a Layer Blend plugged into Normal and plug in your normals for each layer. repeat for each thing (roughness/ao/etc)

If the name has to be a valid name you need to look at creating a dictionary of names and it can pick from that. So it would be an array of names somewhere in your project you would pick from. you would have to create it by hand or import say a CSV file from somewhere with the names
plush yew
what?
isn't there like blueprint called random generator for text or something like this:
runic fern
You can do Datatable with Indexes and Names each name have index and Call random index to call the name
i think like this should work xD

grim ore
I dont understand the question so I cant answer it
runic fern
ok will explain it
grim ore
both of those ways are simple, you have to choose and do it

When the player creating Session can select Multiple Game Types with Check box to play in one session ..
- Runner
- Team DeathMatch
- DeathMatch
i want when the player Select more than one game type i want them to start type by type
like when the timer of runner Finish will change automatically to TeamDeathMatch
etc
grim ore
you can store the ones they chose in an array in say the game instance (which persists) and then you just look at the array and get the next one when you are starting it.
plush yew
this is all the code for the generating the letter?

Hi, in my game there is a video and I want my slider to be the type connected to the video. How to do ?

I want to make it like player 15465, player 24534645, player 35346436, player 5453534,
runic fern
im storing the modes into Array String and passing them to GameInstance
plush yew
Can I do it to generate like Player to be static, the rest of the lenght will be the random generates and to be from 1 to 9
runic fern
in this function what is the result you are getting ?
grim ore
if you just want it to be numbers then yes generating a random integer would be fine
plush yew
I want player and then generates random nu,ber from 1 to 10
grim ore
you might run into collision with only 10 valid results but ignoring that you would use an Append String node to append them together
runic fern
Append 2 Strings one called " Player " and the 2nd will be random integer in range
Or Just Random integer
plush yew
have no idea how to do it-lol
grim ore
2 people literally just said how
runic fern
i will show you how
normal burrow
Guid would be better tho
grim ore
GUID would be better but he just wants a random 1-10 soo.....
north badger
Hey, quick question is there a sort of delay node for functions ?
cant seem to find anything like it
normal burrow
Ye
grim ore
it would technically be better to use increment from 0 so you don't collide if you plan on using small numbers but shrug
runic fern
i think that should work right mathew ?
grim ore
yep thats good but again... collision unless having people with the same name doesnt matter?
plush yew
the people should be with different names-lol
grim ore
yes but you are not giving out unique names
random is random, it could be 0 100 times in a row
runic fern
Ok got it
plush yew
that's why I want each player has to be with unique name
grim ore
if you want random you either need a list you remove results from, you do it in order so its not random but its unique, you use some other seeding function to reduce your collision chance to nearly nil, or you use GUID
runic fern
grim ore
you are not asking for unique, you are asking for a name that start with Player and ends with a value from 1-10
runic fern
If your game is online on steam Use their steam name When they spawn and give them rights to change it when they want
grim ore
if you did that 11 times you are guaranteed to have a collision for example
plush yew
hmmm ^
ok this bp I need to do it in the event begin play-right? but I have hud with text which will be changed in the begin play this means that I need to do it in the widget blueprint cus it is variable
grim ore
unless this is on a server for example and you are validating the name as created then you could generate, if it fails do it again, etc. but even then its not random. You could make an array of integers from 1-10, shuffle it, then assign in order and remove as you assign
plush yew
gg but in widget there is no begin play-ahhh
grim ore
event contstruct is for Widgets
plush yew
a ok
I have this for now:
on it
so the new system will be in front of this system or behind it?
grim ore
we dont know. Is this single or multiplayer?
grim ore
then its multiplayer
plush yew
?
grim ore
you dont convert SP to MP
grim ore
because systems designed for single player are generally not compatible with multiplayer designs
plush yew
ok
grim ore
so you would basically be making the game twice
grim ore
if its single player then it doesnt matter about collision, it will only ever be done once
why not just let them set the name during creation then
grim ore
then just assign the random name when the character is created for the first time
it doesnt really matter where and the UI has nothing to do with setting it for the first time
plush yew
ok
but what happened when 2 players at same time register and they are with same name?
grim ore
they cant, you said it was single player
plush yew
it will be in future
grim ore
and this is where we just go in circles
fossil gale
Sorry to come back but I search in the documentation but I don't understand for my emissive ๐ฆ
runic fern
Mr MathewW told you if you are planning to make Multiplayer game you need to do it from now
plush yew
so let's do it for multiplayer then
grim ore
designing a SP game is not the same as a MP game,
runic fern
Because you cant make A Singleplayer and change it to mutliplayer
if you will make multiplayer in the future you will change almost all the functions
grim ore
if you are doing it multiplayer then your server would create it and you would probably have a database somewhere with the name being a key and index and you would check that when they create it to make sure it's not a duplicate. If you are generating this yourself then your server would probably just keep track another way or even use something like a GUID so it's almost collision proof. Chances are it's not going to be random if done correctly but merely increasing the number from 1, perhaps the same # as the character ID in the database
this is why when you create a character online they ask for a name and check it
or if you allow more than one person to have the same name they append it with a number but at that point your not having everyone use Player as the name so you have a million unique names and then you can just generate a smaller unique number and check it quickly
and even then you could just "check name count" -> add 1 to that count -> append that number to the name -> validate it's unique -> set as player name
lucid magnet
so i have made this image with a animation for it... how can i set the animation to play when clicking an input?
grim ore
every animation has a name, every animation that has a name has a variable for it in the event graph, every animation variable can have the Play Animation node called on it to play that animation in the event graph
how you tell it to play, probably a custom event, is up to your code flow
lucid magnet
i get that - but how can i call an input to play it in the widget graph?
runic fern
and create custom event to call it when you do something specific
lucid magnet
so i should maybe create a component for the widget
plush yew
silly question: if I make the game and the functions for multiplayer it will work perfectly for singleplayer-right?
rotund silo
Isn't that what Minecraft did though? They started with an SP game and made it into an MP game?
plush yew
idk tbh
runic fern
@plush yew Yes Sure
plush yew
ok cool ๐
another silly question: also I added package for inventory that has replication which I think means that works perfectly for multiplayer?
runic fern
Not Everything will work you need to Make it Compatible with your Functions that way will Work
grim ore
If you want to make it single player first then later redo the entire game to work in multiplayer you can, atleast it will give you work in the future
plush yew
wha?
grim ore
@lucid magnet how did you create this widget? it has to be somewhere in order to see it right. How are you wanting to play the animation on it? after an event or something. Event happens -> talk to widget -> play animation event
lucid magnet
@grim ore its actually a custom cursor for my game, which im trying to find a way to animate when the clicking the left mouse button
grim ore
so its set as a custom cursor using the project settings?
novel vine
what would you say the best way to make a building is?(like unreal editor or blender)
plush yew
so this works for multiplayer? @grim ore
plush yew
fbx format and obj format accepts
lucid magnet
@grim ore i have this setup which work - but i just want it to play the animation when i click the left mouse button
grim ore
the problem is you are using the widget as a cursor now so it works differently
plush yew
runic fern
@lucid magnet You Have to Bind a key to Run the function from your player controller
in your Widget Create Custom Event Call " Mouse Animation "
And Plug this Play Animation Node to it
Go to your Player controller Get Mouse Click Button
and Get Reference for your Widget And Call the function plug it with the Mouse Button
I think this will work 
@plush yew
im Still new with Replication
But this Can work if you Replicate the Player Name Variable And Connect the whole Function with custom Event Called from Server Side and Send it to Widget
grim ore
the problem is getting a reference to the widget is an issue when it's a custom cursor
lucid magnet
yeah i can see how it would work
but icant get a reference
from the widget custom event to the player controller
or at least dont know how to
plush yew
I did this
and I considered why the text is empty-looooool
here need to be the generated name
but it is text block
runic fern
Nope You Cannot Append the Text Block with the Random Integer
plush yew
ok
runic fern
You need to set it somewhere else in player state for example maybe
plush yew
?
runic fern
and get the function result into your widget
lucid magnet
runic fern
Easy way to do that Make a text variable in your Widget and set it Expose on Spawn
set your Name with Begin play after setting the name Create the widget and connect the Result to the Variable your have exposed
lucid magnet
would it be something like this
runic fern
But this Animation will play once your widget Constructed
for one time
everytime you creating this widget will call run play animation
runic fern
idk Mr MathewW Experienced i wont shot something wrong he know how its will work
lucid magnet
fair
@grim ore do you have an idea how i can get a ref to a custom event to my player control from the widget?
runic fern
Not your Text Block create a new variable Type Text
runic fern
And Bind this variable to your TextBlock
runic fern
scarlet birch
Learn the engine at least a little before you add multiplayer on top of it.
grim ore
@lucid magnet It's super stupid but I just tested and it works. In the event contstruct of your cursor widget tell something else about the widget, for example here I am letting my player controller know about the widget so the player controller can animate it when I press the left mouse button. I have to use a 0.2 delay because the player controller is not valid before the widget. IF you used something like the game mode or instance it would be fine. this is just a stupid way of doing it but it works
plush yew
that's why I don't add it now-lol
I binded it with the variable-now I need to make the function in the third person character bp and then get it in the widget?
runic fern
yea
grim ore
@lucid magnet is the code in my player controller
and this is the cursor in action https://i.gyazo.com/4510be7c3367c29a5403474d3a4f36dc.gif
with all that said, using a software cursor is bad and I wouldn't recommend it lol
lucid magnet
@grim ore ok just to question
simple hemlock
Anyone running into "Unreal Engine is exiting due to D3D device being lost" on 4.24.2 and 4.24.3? I'm not sure when it started, I used to be able to run my project just fine. A blank project on 4.24 also crashes whenever I try to move the viewport or the blueprint editor with the right mouse button.
I've tried repairing the engine, updating drivers, using DDU for a clean driver uninstall, ran a scannow on windows... Nothing seems to work. Other versions are fine.
grim ore
I made a variable....
like literally went into the player controller and made a variable
grim ore
Play pulse is the custom event in the widget to play the animation
runic fern
Set result to a variable and send it to the Widget when you create wtih widget
grim ore
but again I reaaaaaally dont recommend using software cursors unless you can guarantee a 60fps frame rate
plush yew
I can't find the function to get it in the widget
runic fern
Mr Mathew if he got less than 60 the custom cursor will start tearing right ?
@plush yew Go to your ThirdPlayerCharacter_BP Find Begin Play
Connect This Function " Nickname Generation " First after that Create Widget " your Name Text Box widget " And connect the variable you've created to it i will show you
grim ore
no it would start "lagging" as the cool kids call it
software cursors are tied to the frame rate so it starts to feel really really bad as it gets lower
runic fern
oh
grim ore
trying to play "hit the ui targets" when your game is running at 20fps is not fun
its easy to test too ๐ set your max fps in the editor to something like 15 and test with a software cursor heh

plush yew
I can't get the variable form widget to the chaarcter bp-lol
grim ore
I have a feeling I know what it is but you still need to debug
lucid magnet
how do i do that
grim ore
easiest is to put a print string after the left mouse button and see if its prints string
if it doesnt, then your left mouse button code is not firing.
grim ore
is your player controller set to take input? by default its not
I know it sounds weird lol
grim ore
in the picture I sent for that player controller, look at the right

is anything else anywhere using left mouse button input? did you set up that player controller as your default in your game mode?

wherever you created the widget you have a reference to it, use that reference to then get that text widget and set it

the problem is that I confused on the widget and character bp
just help me to get it please
grim ore
there shouldnt be much confusion. somewhere at some point you call Create Widget and add something to the screen, you can get a reference to that something when you create it
plush yew
in the widget ui I did this
grim ore
at that point you just go thru the tree of parents and children to find what you want and set it directly or you call a custom event on something that does it for you
runic fern
Mr MathewW i told him to Bind a variable to The Text Block and make it Exposed on Spawn so he can send the result directly when the widget constructed and He can add it to view port
in your Character BP on Beginplay do something like that
Sender Name Change it with " Text NickName

Create a new C++ class using Game Mode Base as the parent, do whatever you want with it, and use it in your project. If you need it to be a blueprint class as well as the C++ stuff you right click the C++ class in the editor and create a blueprint class from it and use that instead
all blueprints are C++ in the back end

Does anybody know how to unlock actor movement in level viewport? I managed somehow to lock all actors drag movement in level. Can move actors currently only via details transform tab.

if you are using levels just right click the level in the level window and go to Lock

you can use the normal Create Blueprint window as well
where MyGameModeBase is my custom C++ Game Mode

you can always grab the source from the github, change the .uplugin to support mac, compile it and see what happens
