i like the deep thinking. i just dont understand exactly what a vector does
i assumed it was "a location" and a direction
rancid lynx
but when i turn the mesh, it doesnt follow the updated forward vector
oh. thank you. thats a wonderful tip.
math hall.

any ideas?
rancid lynx
what content example do i need to look for. i cant reemember where i found that little old space ship

rancid lynx
i forget how to get to those content examples
from the market place?

If I spawn a bullet then I change the bullet speed should the bullet change its speed? If not how can I make it?

Guys is there a way to bulk edit screen sizes for imported LODs? I have 100 models that i need to set the lod1 to 0.1 but as default ue importing it as 0.75
grim ore
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEhBM2x5MG9-e_JSOzU068w , math for game devs. worth a watch. all of them are if you have time else there is stuff on vectors specifically
grim ore
@hollow ridge you would have to give more info on how you do this in the first place, we dont know how you are setting speed in the first place, changing it, or how it is moving.
rancid lynx
Matheew, if you had to define Vector , inside UE4, how would you define it ?
just a location with a direction element ?
i just want to make sure i understand the point of a vector. or maybe it was location plus velocity. i read the ue4 wiki page, but the definition was just a copy paste description
grim ore
well its 3 floats
i mean honestly a vector itself is just that
its when you use it to represent something that it can be something else lol
rancid lynx
oh, hense the multiply
grim ore
or using the forward vector node
and uh I am bad at math but basically
a vector itself is just 3 floats, so for example if getting the players location in the world its a vector representing in the world the players location on the X, Y, and Z axis from a given center point
rancid lynx
yea. that i can understand. from blueprint interactions.
grim ore
so a vector of (100,100,100) puts them that distance from the center, thats the common thought of vector as a variable to store stuff
rancid lynx
i accidently associated vector with a direction also.
glad i asked. i forgot it was that simple.
grim ore
now getting the forward vector is the same concept, you get 3 float values that represent something. In this case it's a normalized (0-1) value representing forward (X in UE4) for the item you are getting it from
storm terrace
can anyone see my text?
rancid lynx
i see it. ill read your last mesesage vanture
storm terrace
was scanning for @storm terrace
grim ore
I saw it, just not good at art and that to help 😦
rancid lynx
if the tracks are a child of a scene, moving the child wont force the parent to follow. that might help. idk.
storm terrace
so that is why they breakoff the sockets?
rancid lynx
not sure. but thats how it works when you move a subcomponent inside a blueprint.
apply the movement to the actor scene instead? idk
grim ore
so for the forward vector you are trying to find out which way is forward on the object (the local X on the object) in the world. So if you are asking a mesh who is currently facing X positive your "get forward vector" will probably be like (1,0,0) or "hey I am facing a ton in the X direction right now in the world and none in the Y or Z"
storm terrace
so in the video tutorial, he has the tracks tell the parent (tank body) to apply the force and then the tracks as a byproduct follow.
that is very different that the tracks carrying the tank body
grim ore
if the mesh was to rotate say to face up and you asked it, you would get something like (0,0,1) which is saying "hey i am facing like really far up on the Z and almost none on the X or Y"
rancid lynx
ok sorry. i dont know. i jus tmake bad tiny blueprints and manually move stuff ^ ^
grim ore
so no matter where you face you will get something in the 0-1 range for your X Y and Z
rancid lynx
hmm
storm terrace
thanks for trying 🙂
grim ore
with that small value (its known as being normalized)
now you can multiply it and multiplying a normalized vector basically makes it keep going in that direction
rancid lynx
ah. because 1.0 = 1mm directional offset.
grim ore
there are some neato videos that explain this better and I think even some from zak lol
rancid lynx
that helps. i didnt know that
grim ore
well 1 unit direction yeah
grim ore
but all that forward vector * a distance gives you is a really long ass location in that direction but its relative to 0
so when you add it to the current location of the object its now starting at that location then going really far in that direction you want
lots of pictures makes it easier to understand 🙂
its why I do videos and not written tutorials lol
plus you know, spelling grammar and all that sucky stuff
rancid lynx
that was also my guess, starting from the 0. i know how to limit the length of the trace.
i just need to figure out how to update the rotation. anyways, sorry spam.
finished installing Content examples. ill check out the math section and vector stuffs
trace stuff, i mean
grim ore
yep I dont know how you are doing your code and such which is why I suggested the scene component. It's just a location in world space basically that would be at the tip of the object or wherever rotated so X+ is forward in the direction you want to line trace from and it just makes it a super easy way to cheat and get something that is somewhere to start from that is rotated the direction you want always
think of it like a camera attached to your head, its always going to be pointing forward no matter what you head does which is what you want 🙂 like a camera in real life, a go pro lol
rancid lynx
the trace always points east. when i rotate the wand, it doesnt follow the mesh or scene rotation
oh. ill just move the wand tip scene 20 feet ahead of the wand. lolol brilliant
lmfao. i feel like i cheated and leveled Down. but the simplest solution may be the best. less math = more cpu
grim ore
multiply by a float, not a vector
but uh.. honestly lol if its a fixed position not far away like that then screw it and that would work
its the same end result you are tracing from one point to another lol the other one in this case is just an invisible point
i didnt think of the fact you arent trying to trace far away and its a fixed point you want
plush yew
If i'm trying to make a camera that smoothly rotates based on the players left and right movement with limits, how would i do that? my cam just keeps spinning.
grim ore
is the camera fixed behind the player or does the mouse control it? have you look at using the built in camera lag in the spring arm?
plush yew
The camera would rotate right while the player is in the left side.
No it's fixed.
no, it's different than lag.
Like this.
Is my node set up right?
if i set my multiplier to 1 it loses it's mind.

Anyone know if it's possible to use any type of wildcards in your search filters for the content browser? The wildcards I expected to work like "*", and "??", don't seem to work. Is there another syntax for wildcards with these filters?
grim ore
I dont see wildcards but it should work on partial matches out of the box
so third will return the same result as *third* basically
gr....
oh but.. there are unary modifiers
so uh third... might be what you expect for a third* type search

Does anyone know the correct command for No verify GC? The one from the documentation does this. Cmd: -NoVerifyGC

Would that make the changes though so that players would get the fix as well?
normal burrow
Do your players play in editor?
thin tendon
I want to say no. I package and cook the game. But it uses the Unreal Icon in its windows window
Thats why I was thinking more along the lines of a command to run at runtime
normal burrow
That command just gets editor time behave how packaged games do afaik @thin tendon
If you stop the garbage collector you can run out of memory
And if you want to stop the collector, just hold onto the references of things so they cannot collect (example: put them in an array as uproperty somewhere)
Ideally you don’t generate the garbage of course
What makes you think it’s the collections taking time?

Any idea on how to setup RGBA, RG_M, and RG textures in material?
I have everything else setup
I just don't know where to connect those
barren flume
that's what i was thinking
this is the rg
this is rg_m
and this is rgba
and I already have metallic setup
normal burrow
Yeah you could show me any grayscale and idk say ok for roughness the M seems to maybe pack a copy of roughness in red but idk
barren flume
I have these setup
normal burrow
Ask author if you can
normal burrow
Is it something that’d be subsurface?
barren flume
I'm not sure
the rgba one I thought i'd drag from rgba
Tried looking up online but not able to find
Where I would attach that too
yeah it's not subsurface

why is unity 2x as more popular than unreal even though unreal has way better graphics. I can't imagine that it is just because unity is C# which to me doesn't make that much of a difference. Sure if I was building console apps it would, but for game dev? I don't think so.
swift spindle
unity has traditionally been more approachable then unreal
and still is...
it's far more forgiving of mistakes
you can pretty much always compile
well.. "it was"
now with the added complexity they are pushing.. it's actually a bigger mind ****
storm terrace
seems like they are swapping then, unreal buffing blueprints and unity adding complexity
swift spindle
some of unitys stuff is pretty damn cool

Hey guys
Can someone help me get this open?
Like I want this project to run on my unreal
Installiation
Clone or download this repository then load the data into a new Unreal Project with Starter Content enabled.
I have downloaded it but am still facing trouble can some one help??
@frank escarp
dim arch
use 4.17
I mean, thats the safest way
theres probably a bunch of BP nodes which have changed since then
rustic swan
I used a new version is that why it didn’t work?
dim arch
yes
rustic swan
Ohh so will it work straight form the box?
dim arch
theres no guarantee it will work with a newer version
dim arch
yeah, but the blueprint files reference nodes which dont exist or were changed in newer engine versions
`Clone or download this repository then load the data into a new Unreal Project with Starter Content enabled.
`
you need to make a new project, with starter content enabled
then copy that repo into the project
and probably do it in a 4.17 version of the engine to be safe
dim arch
just download it as a zip, and extract it into your project folder
and overwrite any existing files
rustic swan
Extract into?
dim arch
?
rustic swan
Would 4.17.2 work?
dim arch
you need to 4.17.2 , make an empty project, extract the files into the project and then launch it using 4.17
dim arch
I mean, you can try it with the version of the engine you have now, but it may not work
runic fern
Goodmorning
Guys how can i get a method better than this ??
i need to check every 1500 points the player will get a level
but for 100 level its alot of nodes 😄
honest vale
Divide by 1500?
runic fern
not dividing i want to check everytime player reach certain points
every 1500 points he will reach a new level
runic fern
with current Points
dim arch
yeah, current points % 1500 if it returns 0 it means its a factor of 1500
and then increment the level
dim arch
check if the int it returns is ==0
dim arch
yeah
runic fern
so when the current points reachs this numbers 1500,3000,4500,6000,7500 etc will level it up ?
dim arch
I think so
runic fern
because i never used % i will try it now
pearl sonnet
x%y == 0
is a way to determine whether or not x is devisable by y without a fraction == 0
dim arch
runic fern
thats good info thanks 😄
proper stump
In blender this idle animation looks fine, the spider legs stay in place and the body moves up and down. in UE, the legs move, like wings........ why is that?
pearl sonnet
the problem is that it cannot tell you what level you are if you had 4500 points
so why not x/1500
runic fern
and i've tried to add 500 points each time its not leveling up just when im adding 100
if he got more than 4500 like 4560 it will not check that
runic fern
yes the way should be work even if player got 5999 will still can level
honest vale
you need to check the points every time you modify the amount of points
runic fern
yes that what im doing already
honest vale
if you do a division you'll get the number of levels the player would get with that amount of points
you could do the division before and after adding points and checking if the level number increased
pearl sonnet
it depends on your implementation and what you want
if you want the current level you would do (int)(points/1500)
if you just want a mathematical way to determine whether a player is leveling, you could use modulo to determine that your current points can possibly divide by 1500 but it will not tell you what level
you would check that for every increase/decrease
runic fern
so as jonimake said i need to check before increasing and after that
pearl sonnet
after
pearl sonnet
yea
runic fern
So divide the current point with 1500 and check it == 0?
pearl sonnet
if you have 1450 points, you call your function it will not be 0
if you increase by 100 you'd have 1550 points, modulus will not be 0 either
runic fern
is that what you mean by points / 1500
lyric tusk
Can I free up the derived data cache folder somehow?
It's taking a lot of space on my harddrive
narrow glen
btw has anybody gotten the include too working ?
pearl sonnet
YAO most commonly your EXP table is some exponent usually
then you know per level how much exp is needed and it increases over time
then from total experience you can derive current level and percentage done logically pretty easy
in your case you require the same amount of points for each level, which is even easier
you just divide the total amount of exp (points) by the constant amount of exp you need per level
and that will tell you exactly what level you are and what fraction you have/miss from the remainder
by simple division
pearl sonnet
the problem you probably run into (when you feed your increment into the modulus check) is when your points are 1450
and you increase them by 100 to 1550, and pass 1550 to your modulus
1550%1500 is not 0
runic fern
the division gives me the current level now yes
pearl sonnet
so you will have to loop with increments of 1, animate your little EXP bar, when your modulus returns 0,
you'll show your little level up animation, increment current level, and so on
rustic swan
@dim arch I am downloading it fam
It’s gonna take an hour and half
Will you please help me when it is done?
runic fern
Yes Stealthy now the amount im getting after division the correct level so when the player reach 150.000 he will be level 100
pearl sonnet
smartest is just points/1500 after increasing them
it will give you the whole number, which is the level
and the fraction will be how much % is done out of 1500
runic fern
and i've tried to increase it 100 each time and 500 each time its works fine
Do i need to use the modulo
pearl sonnet
not in that case
here's the math
points = 1600
1600 / 1500 = 1.0666...
that means your level is 1 and you have 6~7% completed until next levelup (for your experience bar)
runic fern
i will try it now its cool
pearl sonnet
points = 3200
3200 / 1500 = 2.1333
level 2, 13~14% completed
runic fern

@pearl sonnet do you know how to apply 2 socket? i have no idea about that cuz i only added 1 socket in skeletal mesh
pearl sonnet
you cannot right click and add new socket again on one bone?
frozen mural
no need to click preview asset after i add socket?
after i add the socket my gun dissapeared
pearl sonnet
a socket has not much to do with assets, i don't know what you mean
you just add sockets/slots to a bone,
each socket has their own relative position/rotation
and then you attach something to them as usual
solid cradle
@frozen mural you are trying to get your left hand to attach to the front handguard of the weapon, right?
So that when the weapon moves relative to the parent bone, in this case the right hand, your left hand would follow and be locked to the position of the weapon?
frozen mural
pearl sonnet
ah
frozen mural
i added preview assets to right hand will appear 1 more gun and i tried with idle aim its uniform but when go to crouch 😂
pearl sonnet
@junior shard might know
i don't animate at all
i just know that it's freakin timeconsuming and an art to have them blend and match up
frozen mural
@solid cradle i did that alr but when it does other animation the gun moves
pearl sonnet
to me it looks like they are conflicting
and whichever is applied last takes the crown
frozen mural
Im considering to change their skeletal position but idk if that will affect my whole project
pearl sonnet
would be nice if you could attach handle and nozzle and weapon would fluidly rotate in between accordingly
solid cradle
Yeah, the only fix that I've found for the hand, is using a FABRIC node in the animation, witch "corrects" the hand position relative to the right hand movements. It's not pretty but its that or creating more precise animations :S
Having kind of the same problem my self 😄
pearl sonnet
can't imagine how that would work without some forms of constraints
will the weapon stretch or bend in odd cases lol

yea if you have one variable to hold the level and replicate that to all clients and they apply it as if it's their value

So better to do it in player controller the level variable and points variable
and loop controllers

quote:
Game State is not the best place to keep track of player-specific things like how many points one specific player has scored for the team in a Capture The Flag match because that can be handled more cleanly by Player State. In general, the GameState should track properties that change during gameplay and are relevant and visible to everyone. While the Game mode exists only on the server, the Game State exists on the server and is replicated to all clients, keeping all connected machines up to date as the game progresses.
runic fern
Cool so the Gamestate handles just the counter of game how many players connected and what will happen inside the mode for all players

that's according to the documentation

yes

is that network "rubberbanding" or are you local

What do you mean network rubberbanding?

what i mean is that you can have that effect if you're goofing around with position replication between clients/server

@grim ore how do i check it?

@frozen mural look wherever you got ther animation from. Open the animation up in the editor in UE4 and hit play, see if they move when they animate or stand in one place
@proper stump whatever works for what you need, look at the description of each one
frozen mural
Animated but not in one place

then that is your problem, you need to fix that. https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Animation/RootMotion/index.html

topaz brook
@frozen mural do you have root motion extraction turned on in your BP? These are indeed root motion animations correct? Can't just use in place animations and set them as root motion either
Each animation must also have Root Motion enabled as well
patent wigeon
Is there a danger of your blueprints getting corrupted if you build from VS Code? I don't know if that's the cause, but my blueprints have started to not being able to be saved recently
topaz brook
What do you mean by building from VS code? You mean you are using cpp and bps together? Or are you compiling the engine from code?
@patent wigeon
patent wigeon
Closing the engine and running a build task from VS Code
topaz brook
Not sure tbh... I use cpp and very few bps. I always compile with the compile button in ue4 editor and don't have issues... :/ You're probably talking about something completely different.. Maybe your bps aren't all compiled?

tame rose
does anyone know a way to add particles to a canvas?
light thunder
@tame rose You should be able to use a 2D render target, obviously you'll only get one perspective and it won't be very efficient performance wise, compared to actual 2D
There is probably a better way to do it but that's one hacky way I could think of
grand scarab
Performance question - if you have an array of clickable 'buttons', is there a noticeable difference between manually assigning each one an event, and programmatically assigning them an event? They all call the same event regardless.
It would seem to me that you end up with X bindings either way
I'm not able to detect a difference when I test, so I thought I'd ask in case anyone knows
thorny stirrup
idk man
grand scarab
(this would be programmatically on startup, not like... onclick or something stupid)
thorny stirrup
how would i make a simple texture i forgot after many years, ive got the starter material io just want to be able to paint lol
patent wigeon
I'm not an expert, but I'd imagine manually assigning them in blueprints would be more performant, but I don't think it would be big enough of a difference to even notice @grand scarab
grand scarab
@thorny stirrup You can just make the texture in the paint program of your choice, and then drag/drop or import
it will automatically become a texture if the file is a supported type
thorny stirrup
sorry material*
grand scarab
So take the texture, right click, create material
it will create a very simple material for you and you can build off it
runic fern
@pearl sonnet Are you on mate
grand scarab
Thanks @patent wigeon that's what I'm guessing too. Like programmatically it might add a couple ms on game load, but no significant difference
thorny stirrup
and i beive ill use cordiantes eh?
thorny stirrup
landscape cordiantes?
grand scarab
Oh a LANDSCAPE material
thorny stirrup
yes

ok, so easiest way is to use the landscape painter

how can i make and objet that when i duplicate it i can change the mesh of it but it dont change the bp inside?
runic fern
tame rose
make sure to type in ue4
runic fern
right click on the bp and you can create child
honest mango
yes YAO
like duplicate the object and just change the mesh of that duplicated object
runic fern
Yupe just create a child
right click on the main bp and create child
its will be parented the main parent will feed it with the changes and functions
honest mango
😄
anoyther questionn, can whe change the axis of a mesh ?
like but it in middle instead of bottom ?
https://gyazo.com/af1ca8025f4cfa4fc2064d53c29ef1ad i would like to change the axis
honest mango
i will see if its that ^^
hmm it change the direction but i would like to put it for example in middle of the lamp
honest mango
yes ?
runic fern
Hold your mouse middle button and drag it
hold the scroll button and drag it left or right to set it
runic fern
it works with the scene but not inside the bp viewport
so just change your rotation of your object
from the transformation

How does open world works in UE4? The maximum size of a secene seems rather small for your typical open world, so I imagine that this is handled in some particular way?

@plush yew i never worked with cloth simulation before but looks like the Collision is not working fine
you can check the collision
runic fern
ok what is your cloth collision settings ?
rain glen
Directx 12 is installed
runic fern
its shows that you have error with D3D12
@knotty rampart you can use World Composition
rain glen
I got that far... I just don't know how to fix it
knotty rampart
@runic fern World composition? I didn't know that term. Thank you.

@plush yew Weird but as i told you i never workd with simulation
@honest mango are you using get All Actors of class ?

yes ^^

It seems as though it’s invalid. You could print the class of the object to the screen on not valid, might help you get a better idea.

i dont understand
the "canpickobject?" is false but it still goes to the true

@honest mango What you could do is put multiple breakpoints along the path from the time the object is created, to when it is used here. Then you should be able to trace down where it is return that value and how is gets set and all that.

https://i.imgur.com/5KDJA9Q.png
I don't think my decorator is working? Has potential target is the criteria, and as you can see it's inverted. So the sequence should end at GetVisibleTarget because when "HasPotentialTarget" is true the inverted decorator won't let the task execute. But it still executes every time even though you can see that the bool is true on the right
peak knot
@storm terrace I'm having the same issue
If you hit recompile they come back, but they continue to clear all settings for me
Which is getting bad because there's about 5 different things I have to set every time I open the project. It's gotten progressively worse to the point now every time I recompile (after setting up the blueprint again), the next time I click Play UE4 hard crashes.

That's not gonna shred performance on its own if it's just one ticking actor, but if you want, you can change the tick rate. Or use a looping Set Timer By node.

that'd be how you'd do it. checking velocity for zero. store it off to a boolean once per frame to have it be speedier

Why is this happening? Potential target is true but the task still fires despite the decorator only accepting a false value
nvm, it's returning a false value if I print it
Is storing data in the game mode the typical way to go about keeping data? Like, I have custom player stats that I'm manually entering to set up. I was keeping that data in the game instance but I need this info earlier than launching the game.

Hit component >> get material. You may need to get index of array first

unless you mean Phys Mat
Not sure if you get those by default with BP traces, but if you don't get them by default there's likely a project setting for it
normal burrow
believe get material is on primitive which should be the min type for hit component
i don't think it gives you the slot name though

@normal burrow you mean with this node maybe? just leave Element at zero i guess?

@normal burrow Unfortunately you don't get the material element index in a hit result as far as I could ever tell
you can use hit item for instanced mesh comps
that coresponds to the element idx

yeah, thats what i meant by slot name. you could get the materials of what you hit but not something triangle accurate
given if you hit a capsule collision or whatever, your not gonna have much luck hah

Does anyone know how to control an object along a spline like this guy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6z6oqRhmXI

that'd work well ye, may need cpu read but idk about that
probably better off using phys mat @rancid lynx
