okay okay okay... so i had read the articles and stuff but had not actually seen the video... downloaded the 4k video...of the demo
#ue4-general
teal egret
yes
half turtle
motherf.... thats sick... what kind of optimization was done? is there any other info? was that done purely on blueprints? how much was c++, when can we download ue5? the geometry and texture features.... sooooo obsenely useful
half turtle
shudders i need this so badly...
swift sedge
Making a fighting game, would I use the side-scroller or the 2D side-scroller template?
maiden swift
That's up to you. 🙂
worn granite
Maybe look at both of em
half turtle
you could use the templates or set it up yourself
worn granite
See which one you like better, or if you can use bits of both
half turtle
i think setting it up yourself would be better personally is not that difficult
worn granite
Well, not if you're curious and willing to come to brick walls
half turtle
are you using 3d models or sprites?
worn granite
you'll get a deeper understanding a little quicker IMO
swift sedge
Sprites.
half turtle
then it should be quite easy to setup yourself, as on that kind of game the most difficult part would have been the animations (at least thats how i feel personally) but sprites make that a non issue really
swift sedge
Alright, thank you!
Would it be a bother at all if I messaged you for advice later on?
half turtle
i can point you to some tutorials (written ones) that will teach you the basics of ue4
swift sedge
Sure thing!
half turtle
i think in general is discouraged to dm people unless they explicitly agree to it first, personally you can message me, but i am just good with the blueprint system
for materials and animation specifically i am not good at all (hence why i want ue5 to save myself some pains)
swift sedge
Yeah, that's why I asked, haha.
summer turret
guys how do i setup so that when my character sprints the edges/corners of the screen get blurry?
swift sedge
Thank you!
half turtle
@summer turret you mean motion blur?
summer turret
kind of
but not the entire screen, i just want the edges of the screen to get blurry to imitate that my character is sprinting really fast
half turtle
well motion blur in general is something that comes from how the engine itself renders the interactions and movement, for what you want... the easiest might be to apply a material to teh screen render
and scale a parameter to the speed of the character moving
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ccBjlAFt0s&feature=emb_logo something like this
summer turret
ty
half turtle
yeah ... the more i think about it, create a material and a circular gradient, multiply times parameter
and presto
at least for a very lightweight processing wise effect
summer turret
yeah sadly i am not very good with materials i will just watch the video and try to recreate what he does
half turtle
materials are simple once you get the gist of how of it, its essentially a picture stacking on top of another picture for different things (on a very gross oversimplification)
also i cannot english today...
hoary locust
s
summer turret
ty what is that called, is it just a normal variable or what?
half turtle
constant
half turtle
^^^^
so the more i look ath teh teech demo... does that means we can do away with normal maps? and tesselation?
half turtle
sturdy star
got my doubts, how is it to actually work with assets like that in editor, presumably you need an incredible PC to handle the streaming or just try to brute force it. how does it work with vertex anim, how tedious is it data-managing 8k textures, probably going to be a lot of headaches
jolly steppe
I think just like every tech demo, it's just showing off what's possible and now what's practical.
Game's might not look that great still.
sturdy star
this kinda thing reminds me of the samaritan demo, or any of epics demos tbh, love them they look amazing but when you get down to production they are always just a little bit too out of reach
jolly steppe
and if so, it's for big AAA devs.
sturdy star
aye ^
sturdy star
drink a bottle pf vodka and play tombraider, same-same
jolly steppe
Yeah that's the common consensus.
lmao gg
I think just knowing that UE5 is capable of handling all that data and can optimize it well is really cool.
jolly steppe
Now we need to re create Yoshi's Wooly world but each fiber is 3D rendered.
tacit harbor
hi
sturdy star
hello
tacit harbor
know anyone good with particles
raven prairie
I hope they dont change the look to much
tacit harbor
cant seem to get responce in the fx channel
sturdy star
looking
tacit harbor
im having trouble getting translucent materials to show in orthographic view
sturdy star
they probably won't work well
ortho view is dogshit
so much stuff doesn;t work properly
you can try taking your camera, moving it fucking MILES away, and setting the fov to 1
then you'll get all the regular shit but a near-ortho projection. but then you have new problems to discover
tacit harbor
yeah i see why they say unity better for such games like top down space shooter
half turtle
well ... now i have a reason to get a threadripper 3990x 128gb of ram and a RTX 3080
tacit harbor
because it dont look good in perspective
half turtle
coz i am betting they are changing a lot of things to super heavy parallelization
only way to get that kind of performance
sturdy star
try camera trick, low fov, camera very far away
tacit harbor
kk
raven prairie
bruh, im too poor for that kind of rig... i can only afford a ryzen 5 2000 and wait for the amd gpu with ray traycing support.
tacit harbor
@sturdy star whats fov
half turtle
field of view
tacit harbor
u mean do that in perspective view
half turtle
yes
tacit harbor
ah kk ill try
half turtle
put the camera very far away and with very small field of view
jolly steppe
So when are we going to get to play with UE5? lol
half turtle
too late, i need it now.... goes into coma to wait
i though infinity fabric did something like that already no?
intel doesn't have infinity fabric...
hmm i am not exactly sure how they are doing it on the ps5... the cpu is from AMD so i kinda assumed they were using if
half turtle
how much latency do we have with current pcie4 nvme drives?
compare to a ps5 storage
real pasture
half turtle
no one wants that, you still get the issue of consoles being dedicated hardware also
you can always brute force it with a pc
raid 0 all the nvmes to get 15GB bandwidth to compensate for the latency
instead of getting a lot of fast streams, just dump the entire thing simultaneously into memory
raven prairie
let the pop up begins!
half turtle
yes, hence why i am suggesting to just brute force, i understand that there is going to be a lot of issues with parity, but once things are in memory that is not such an issue, and tho this might means we get a slightly slower initial load
we get the advantage on pcs that we can slap huge amounts of memory easily and keep everything there
at least until we get this interconnect tech on pc
coz obviously this is kind of a very retarded approach but work s on the meantime
olive mortar
🙄
It's funny to see everyone freaking out about some of this stuff, assuming we're gonna have games taking up terabytes of space and such. "Virtualized geometry" has a meaning.
half turtle
i dont think the concern is hte textures as much
as loading the assets into memory fast enough
^^^^
olive mortar
Yeah, it looked like a pretty big issue
😛
Tons of studios across multiple sectors are using UE5 already, so...
I don't think we'll need computers from the future.
half turtle
personally most of my issues on ue4 tend to be related to the physics engien and precision, because the game i am developing right now relies a lot on this
and illumination
dark depot
its not something to even thiink about atm
half turtle
it simulates a very big solar system, but the lighting engine was dying on me or being super quirky, to solve that, i had to scale everything down, but this made it such that sometimes the engine fails at collision calculation
dark depot
once its used in more games that lower bar will be higher then it is atm
olive mortar
Ah, the 'ol realistic lighting in a solar system problem
urban gyro
omg u guys still about the memory stream lol 😄
olive mortar
I've been there too, haha
dark depot
literally like a new gen is meant to do
😛
its a good thing
because then pc will also be pushed higher
urban gyro
how is it a big issue
half turtle
the lumen system will hopefully allow me to use very big dynamic lightning so that means i can simulate at a more large scale and then avoid all the collision issues
raven prairie
i feel worst with my phenom x6 and 8gb ram
half turtle
(sometimes even CCD dosnt cut it)
olive mortar
Engineers and the general workflows the last several years are more in line with improving performance and features. I honestly think it's nothing to worry about.
dark depot
also this is high end 😛 they know its was designed for that and have it scale it will still be possible you been here all day and people keep telling you this 😛
olive mortar
It's more likely that the same rig that you're UE4'ing on? You'll be UE5'ing on as well.
dark depot
there is a reason they are annnouncing know software and things have time
urban gyro
first of all I don't think that the hardware on that PS5 had to be pushhed to the absolute limit to achieve that
half turtle
either way my current ryzen 1800x rig is already old and slow (and crashes a lot due to literal water accident) so i now have 2 reasons to upgrade to a threadripper and those delicious 80+ pcie4 lanes
urban gyro
and even if they did theres at least 3 ways im aware of to outperform what the PS5 has on offer
on pc
why
dark depot
then wait 6 months after its released
urban gyro
ull get better tech in like 10 months
dark depot
or see what nvidia shows off in the morning hahaha
plush yew
when will ue5 arrive
raven prairie
another 1500 dollars gpu
half turtle
the gigantic 3080 ? XD
urban gyro
is this some kind of special interface cable or?
olive mortar
And off-topic, but if I see one more pleb post in the Facebook group, sharing the video... I'm gonna lose it
half turtle
kensei it refers to the architecture that allows the cpu ram and storage to communicate to each other
physically you could say is the sata or nvme ports
half turtle
for the kind of performance you will need with nanite, (for pushing it ) nvme will be the bare minimum
urban gyro
to be fair, ur still gonna have a bottleneck somewhere even in that case
urban gyro
pcie4 is gonna be awesome
lyric tusk
This is going to be the longest wait for 2021 to come
urban gyro
plenty of things to get done by then
olive mortar
Eh. Silicon photonics is on the horizon, so anything until then is just filler and money-grab stuff, haha
half turtle
the horizon is not that close relatively
next year we are getting 5nm litography becoming mainstream
lyric tusk
God I need lumen in my life rn
half turtle
i think they can down to 3 nm still after that
olive mortar
Well, the hardware is already here for the photonic lanes. It's just used in labs and high-end fields at the moment. But it's on it's way to the consumer market. That's what I mean by "on the horizon".
half turtle
if ue5 has fp64 for position by default ill cream myself
olive mortar
And you can't go a whole lot smaller/dense at this point, because you end up getting "cross-talk"
half turtle
i hate world rebasing... you know whati hate more...
olive mortar
Epic devs said they won't be shifting over to doubles. They've said it many times.
half turtle
when i rebase world, i fly back to my initial position
and everything has shifted horrendously
urban gyro
why do u need doubles?
olive mortar
BrUnO XaVIeR over at the forums has done a good job explaining why that's just... Yeah.
half turtle
do that with actual planets and moons that orbit objects dynamically ... and its a must
olive mortar
128 SIMD lanes... Us nerds generally prefer to have 4 lanes to work magick with, than saving some time. If you know what's what, you're fine with floats.
Even if you want to simulate a universe.
urban gyro
u know that u won't have the processing power to run that right?
half turtle
of course not, right now i just simulate a few solar systems at gameplay friendly scales
urban gyro
like if u get them doubles it won't be pretty
olive mortar
People are hooked on doubles, it's weird. Why do you need it?
half turtle
and it generates dynamically (tho i am still learning world composition)
olive mortar
Rather; Why are you convinced that you need that precision to have accurate systems (of any sort)?
half turtle
because i sometimes get ships and projectiles flying through ships
olive mortar
A double isn't going to be the magickal solution to that
half turtle
or even ships flying through planets
urban gyro
that's an update problem not a precision
half turtle
is both
urban gyro
then ur pushing speeds that are too fast
olive mortar
That 0.00000000000000145 that is throwing you off and causing chaos?
A double won't make that go away.
half turtle
yes and no, yes some of my objects are going too fast, but the reason they are going too fast, is because size wise, they are too small as i had t oscale everything down
to let the lightning engine work on a reasonable way
urban gyro
so ur having something running at near light speed and expect realistic results?
half turtle
no no no no
olive mortar
See, I made an ooold solar system simulation, with a point light at the center (Sol). I didn't need to scale things down.
half turtle
not that fast
urban gyro
even 20% as fast is ridiculous
half turtle
to be precise i have some objects running on physics at about 1000ms top
urban gyro
hell, 5% as fast is ridiculous
half turtle
but i had to scale the objects to 1/100
to keep everything withing the 20km game area
urban gyro
so scale ur velocity accordingly
half turtle
while keeping visual appeal
olive mortar
Hm. Double precision may help there, but probably not. UE physics stuff is built around a "real" scale, in a way. You're work around for lighting to scale everything down is a common mistake (you can find plenty of others on the forum who have done this dance)
urban gyro
what is this coordinate rebasing ur ttalking about
yeah u stream ur lvl in and ur good 2 go
half turtle
i use coordinate rebasing when the ship has to move to a different "sector" that was generated dynamically
and yes as i said i am learning world composition
but i dont think on bp therei s a way to spawn objects into a specific level
if there was, then i would have no issues at all and i could rescale everything to proper sizes
urban gyro
hmm, i wasn't aware of that limitation
half turtle
yeah seems to not be used a lot ...
otherwise i would be using world composition and be done with it
urban gyro
but i spose if u had 1 loading screen every 20x20 km ud still be fine
olive mortar
It's not the physics behind why they won't
It's the maddening changes to code, haha
We've already moved over to Chaos, anyhow
urban gyro
well there's gotta be a workaround
half turtle
anyway, wife is pushing me to lunch which i should xD so ill be back later
urban gyro
eerm...well, yeah
olive mortar
urban gyro
i meant 20x20 with streaming volumes
olive mortar
Again, the whole double thing is a worn, and tired topic. It comes up time and time again, and there are many solutions out there, heh
Haha, I wouldn't imagine
Hm, do you have RBFWs or what?
(really big effin worlds)
Oh cool
urban gyro
i find this to be an odd limitation tho
why not 30x30 or 10x10
how come its 20x20
what would happen if you changed it to 200x200
urban gyro
lovely
olive mortar
It must take like 2 minutes to walk across that at a normal pace 😛
urban gyro
well, in all fairness
game design would be my go to solution
i would save myself the headache and just solve it with that at the plan and proto phase
either have loading screens or fit the game in 20x20
making it work with hacky workarounds will inevitably backfire at some point
but that's just my thought process
WoW is using loading screens for each zone, seems to be doing fine
and u can't tell me that you've crammed as much content as it is possible into that massive area u have
olive mortar
That's... Not open-world though. World comp is streaming/paging.
urban gyro
like if u have 2x2 of just trees, you may as well have 1x1 of that very same forest but with denser content
olive mortar
And 20x20, is huge, by the way.
urban gyro
yeah but if ur open world is max 20x20 and u wana go above
olive mortar
What is in km? I forget
urban gyro
those are ur choices
olive mortar
Oh derp
Kensei - There are solutions/workaround. Sukebi seems to have integrated a workaround for his/her/their/its needs

hi there. i have maybe a silly basic question. i'm coming from Unity habits but excited to be learning Unreal. i'm trying have a game view and a editor view open at the same time (so far so good), but I want to be able to move and manipulate objects from the editor view and see them reflected in the game view (while playing in editor). this doesn't seem to be something i can do by default? any tips?
urban gyro
called it
olive mortar
Ooh, welcome to the dark side
summer verge
Converting the engine to doubles can be done. Problem is you have to modify like every class in Unreal and you have to get BPs to support doubles. It's way too much work for most scenarios. Then there is the problem of PhysX, which just can't handle doubles at all. So you have to switch to a 3rd party physics integration, or wait for Chaos and then convert that.
urban gyro
well, thats me done for the day, goodbye dudes and dudessez
olive mortar
o/
Blakenator - Indeed. There is a fork of the engine somewhere... It's over a year stale I imagine, but they linked against the 64bit version of PhysX and did all that hefty work. Well, most of it, at any rate.
I can't remember who the madman was behind it, but their final take?
It wasn't worth it.
plush yew
what is ue5 release date
summer verge
We use an "experimental" (our wording) version of 4.24 that has been ported over to doubles, but like I said physX is an issue. Def gotta be a madman to want to do all that work lol
olive mortar
Y'know, even though Epic said they wouldn't be dipping over to doubles... I wouldn't be surprised if they did.
Still, with the new IEEE spec, I don't think they'll need to.
summer verge
I wish they would, but they probably won't. Most games don't need them
olive mortar
New hardware that is being built is based on the new spec, so like... See, I'm not 100% on this, but I thought doubles were spun up to workaround issues with floats. Floating point precision. But with those "issues" fixed in a new spec, it's all a moot point.
summer verge
All doubles do is simplify networking solutions for games with massive worlds imo. You don't need doubles in Single Player because of origin rebasing.
olive mortar
I don't understand all this dark magick, but it feels fun to pretend.
I believe that's the newest spec/standard. There may be something newer.
summer verge
Not sure I understand. There is a new IEEE standard that makes precision on floats better?
olive mortar
Both?
Quick, somebody in here with a pocket protector and a TI-89 give us the Cliffnotes here!
summer verge
Lol

I have a question. UE5 has no polygon limit so people are like we can add as much detail as we want. And that they dont need normal maps and stuff. Is it true for games as well? Like I mean engine can support thats other thing but for say games we will still need all that right? Or else game would be really big in size and hard to play on computers right?
Sorry of its a wired ques. I am just a beginner 😅
earnest cape
I'm assuming they're using point cloud lidar style rendering to get the unlimited polygons to work. But idk
lofty arrow
is there a channel in this discord where we can ask questions?
molten kayak
it basically means you can import high-poly models, and it scales them appropriately.
so, straight from zbrush and into ue5
light bone
Unreal engine 5 looking quite impressive huh
floral bane
But we will still have to care about polygon count depending on platform or audience we are targeting right?
earnest cape
I'm really curious about how it will perform in games. It looked like it was running smooth
molten kayak
I think the main goal is for it to be able to scale everything for you.
floral bane
For vfx and video scenes we can use full potential for sure.
molten kayak
Nanite seems like magic, honestly.
earnest cape
Tons of movies are going to benefit from this, and probably already are
molten kayak
You've seen the behind the scenes for The Mandalorian, yes?
earnest cape
Yeah I know they used UE4
lofty arrow
If what they are saying is true, it seems the only limitation is memory.
earnest cape
Yeah file sizes and memory
molten kayak
File Sizes will come down to mostly textures, BUT the tradeoff is now we can drop some textures that were used to fake detail.
lofty arrow
What do you mean mostly textures?
File sizes for meshes will only go up, since there will be higher poly counts.
molten kayak
I mean the ballooning file sizes, due to textures, will be offset slightly by no longer needing to fake detail via things like bumpmaps
earnest cape
We'll see. It'll change how we optimize for sure
molten kayak
Absolutely. UE5 is a gamechanger.
lofty arrow
The other issue I see is for 3D modelers. I feel like if I had unlimited detail, I wouldn't know when to stop adding polys.
floral bane
Its something new after a long time for sure.
earnest cape
Insurgency Sandstorm would run so much better in UE5
I wonder if they enabled Vulkan yet
restive yarrow
If I upload my UE4 game with steam integrations, will those steam functions work if I upload my game to Epic Store?
restive yarrow
No what is that
restive yarrow
Yeah i read about that
but are you sure, no voice chat, friends list nothing will work if i publish the same game to Epic Store?
fierce forge
no
it will not work
steam integrate something in the game when is published on steam and it need steam to work
but from what i know epic store have some features for games like friend list
restive yarrow
@fierce forge Okay i see
fierce forge
and you need a own game id from steam for steam integration @restive yarrow
restive yarrow
so you are saying my game needs to be published on steam for all that to work right

yes

@hard lintel I reverted to 24, I just tested quickly 25, and it's been a complete disaster
worse than moving from 23 to 24

Yes, the experience for me has been very bad too. Took several days to get it working and now just constant crashes. Unfortunately I need some of the fixes in 4.25 to GAS so going back isnt really an option 😦

remote rampart
but it shows "missing" when i open the project
@inner magnet i have the same problem
unique kraken
just my background color
cerulean sandal
background of what tho?
unique kraken
i want it to be a simple, plain meduim grey
hard lintel
you want to use this for some type of menu?
unique kraken
is that done in post process or where?!
i just want to make a screenshot of it
and then never do it again
hoary locust
put a gray box behind it then?
unique kraken
oh lol
yes most simple solution
but out of curiosity
would like to know how to do it anyway
where is th background adjusted
hard lintel
it looks like you have a skysphere
unique kraken
ye would delete it if needed, or is it changed somewhere in the skysphere
i dont see a mat in that thing
copper flicker
@hard lintel not a good idea if you can't debug the thing. moving to a new version of an editor is always a risk. you can't expect it to work smoothly and it's not a good idea to rely on it
in fact the safest bet is to stay with the version you've started
and if they add fancy new features, you use them in your next project
hard lintel
yeah unfortunately GAS is bugged on 4.24 and isnt actually usable on server build
and since my entire combat system is built on it...
copper flicker
why did you move to 4.24 then?
it's worth testing all the tech ad making sure things work.. before spending more time detailing and polishing
anyway, I hope you find the issues in 25
in my case it's crashing in editor too, by simply pressing play
dunno how to debug that
I looked only at the built logs
it's really weird that it crashes but.. it allows building
and then the built game also crashes
I'm not using any plugins..
so it's a vanilla project, works fine in 24, simply crashes in 25 : /

I hope we can all be open minded about this:
what do you guys think of lumberyard?
amazons game engine
did anyone tried it?
copper flicker
does it have docs and tutorials and so on?..
hard ruin
yes
copper flicker
how much coverage there is
copper flicker
3 videos on youtube and a manual?
copper flicker
graphics are the least of my worries when making a game.. good graphics come with good art direction, not with the ultimate rendering solution on earth
hard ruin
they offer free game engine they probably make money on your aws cost for your game
this is a dooms day scenario but I hope UE doesnt die
amazon has deep pockets
copper flicker
so.. go ask the lumberyard community, if there is one
copper flicker
I mean you should be talking to them
hard ruin
disagree
copper flicker
the question is what can you make with it
hard ruin
its very important that game looks good
they offer out of the box multiplayer features
honest vale
does anyone actually use lumberyard?
copper flicker
rendering features don'tt make a game look good
they just help
it's all about the artist behind the renderer.. 😛
hard ruin
"Lumberyard is integrated with Amazon GameLift, a managed service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale session-based multiplayer game servers in the cloud. Amazon GameLift dramatically reduces the time required to build a multiplayer backend from thousands of hours to just minutes. With Amazon GameLift, you can monitor game and player activity, maintain a real-time record of available server capacity, and automatically scale up and down to meet player demand."
I like that very much
its tempting
with that stuff out of the box + nice unique maps and gameplay + 50k marketing budget
you have a shot at creating nice FPS game business
not CS:GO
but something that makes 200-300k year
copper flicker
I don't think the math goes like that...

As I can see there's no separate channel for localisation. Anyone experienced with it here can give me a tad bit of hand?
thin tendon
Whats your issue with localisation?
fathom elm
I am switching between hungarian and english. When I first set it up, everything went perfectly, works great, amazing really. However we've added a new menu entry, and the text in that is not getting updated. I re-gathered text, counted words, added the translations. Hungarian is the default and it shows 228 (100%) however, english only shows 225(95%) and no matter what I do, it won't add the remaining text to the english localisation. Also there's 6 text entries that are not getting translated (the newly added ones)
Some text that's been added shows up in english as well, has translation added, but when I call change, that text is staying hungarian. Also there's an entry in english "UI POSITION" that won't move to completed. I added translation, saved the file, compiled text and it hops back to Untranslated
First time with Localisation, so sorry if I sound like a dimwit, really I have no idea if I'm even trying to update the text the correct way 😄
thin tendon
I'm not entirely sure how to fix this one. But in the localisation dashboard you can filter to see the untranslated. Also keep in mind anything in all caps or with out spacing or isn't an actual word, is going to play up a little.
After you gathered the words and added the translations. Did you recompile the translations?
fathom elm
Yes
and the one "UI POZÍCIÓ" text keeps popping back to untranslated...
Also I can see the text entry :
ANGOL - ENGLISH
Translation in the english locale as well, but it's not actually switching to it runtime
thin tendon
Are you doing them manually or using a translation service?
fathom elm
Manually
thin tendon
That doesn't sound right at all. Could be a bug.

HI guys , i was wondering if anyone could help regarding UNREAL ENGINEs terms of use - they just made the 1 million mark befor they take 5% royalties but that is for off the shelf games, dose anyone know how Unreal engine 4 works with Enterprise ?
we create training simulations for clients at a fee but we dont publish on shelf products, we are pushing for the studio to change from unity to unreal
fathom elm
That's ingame @thin tendon where the text should be translated. Rest of the UI goes english perfectly, only this newly added won't do shiat 😄
thin tendon
You could try saving the text in a variable. Then setting it on the widget using the variable. For some reason this translates better
fathom elm
As you can see the entry is there in the dashboard. It's translated, the key is pointing to the correct button text, and still won't do anything.

Hi! I've created gunfire using a linetrace which all works fine. What i want to do is when the gun scope is zoomed out the bullet spread isn't as accurate and when its zoomed in its accurate. How i've done this is via a branch that says if the guns zoomed in go to this linetrace and if its not go to this line trace. On the zoomed out linetrace i've added a random float node for each vector axis so it creates a random spread. Is that the correct way of doing it? It works fine but was wondering if there is another better route
next badger
@clever arch just change the spread parameter on zooming and use that parameter to control actual spread
clever arch
@next badger Thanks for the reply! Currently i don't know how i would control the spread of the bullet. i've just done it by breaking the get world location then using the "random float in range"
then i have another one without the random float in ranges for a precise spread
next badger
@clever arch the max in all of the nodes, you can use a variable there
use SET on zoom in/out of that variable
next badger
yes
clever arch
thats alot simpler ! thank you 🙂

Morning folks. I've been trying out UE4. Let's say I have a box trigger volume that sits on top of a rectangle / cube on the floor, with a sign next to it pointing down, and all that together, when you stand on the rectangle, a view screen spawns in and plays a video.
Can I parent the rectangle and the sign to the trigger volume? Potentially the view screen and the browser widget that plays videos too? If so that's pretty useful.
This is my first time doing this in a game engine.
hollow ore
You can put all of that in a single actor blueprint and drag it onto the scene. You could even set the video ref to exposed and select a different video for multiple instances
brisk shell
Hello wasnt sure where to put this but keep getting this error when trying to delete different maps in project. Not sure why Already fixed redirectors. 😅 EDIT: nvm was able to fix by deleting all actors/bps in level first
swift sedge
How do I have it so the character's not floating? And can I flip his running sprites? As right now he's running backwards. Would I have to just change each of the pictures and put them in like that or can I flip it more easily?
deft nebula
I have the same issue with floating but then that i goes a bit in the ground
hollow ore
This happens when each of the sprites in a flipbook have their origin in a different place
deft nebula
How can i enable nvidia ansel have it enabled but can't seem to use it

hollow ore
Do they stay in the air all the time @swift sedge ?
swift sedge
Yeah, I'm running and jumping but never on the ground properly.
ashen cape
Hello! It has to do with where the sprite component is positioned I think.
swift sedge
Like, how do I just reposition the sprite?
ashen cape
Try open the character's blueprint.
hollow ore
Go to the character blueprint and viewport.
swift sedge
Okay.
ashen cape
You should be able to move and rotate the sprite component so it fits the bottom of the capsule component.
swift sedge
Alright, cool!
ashen cape
👌
hollow ore
You can see the collider and it is extending below the sprite. If you cant move the character, move the collision
If it is backwards all the time just rotate it 180
swift sedge
Alright, how do I move things around here?
And yeah, he's not backwards during the idle animation.
Just the running.
Wait, figured out the moving part.

Hi guys I am making a 3D game like in the 90s with a 2D perspective and need some tips

Could someone help me
swift sedge
Alright, fixed the floating part, thank you!

Let me look to see where the flipbook stuff is for the backward stuff
deft nebula
Want to use the nvidia ansel plugin but whitelisted everything and when i press alt and f2 it just says that is's unsupported
In the application
hollow ore
I dont do a lot of 2d but usually it is just a single node change
plush yew
can anyone tell me if this is only a me problem or does everyone has this ?
stiff parcel
Its a 3D game with 2D perspective so similar to 2D generally
hollow ore
Yeah the animations are flipbook though so it isnt as hard to change I just cant remember how to do it.
ashen cape
The way I worked with 2D I had a blueprint checking if rotation was 0 or not equal to 0 and then rotating the sprite component / other components like HP bars to match.
azure shore
ok so why do some camera effects just not show at ALL in low graphic settings?
ashen cape
@swift sedge Ahh.. Yeah my characters all face right by default, I think that might be why you're experiencing the backwards stuff.
hollow ore
@swift sedge open the event graph and find this part
azure shore
oh yeah and now it takes a ridiculously long time to compile shaders
100 takes about five minutes
hollow ore
Now on the make rotator on the top change z to 180 and on the bottom make rotator change z to 0
ashen cape
^ This would have to be done with other characters/objects too, if the animations are made facing left. I fixed this problem by always exporting my animations as facing right.
azure shore
..
ashen cape
To speed up compiling of shaders, you can pull up the task manager with CTRL+ALT+DELETE and give the shader compiler tasks more priority, but it'll lag your PC. When I do it, I leave my PC alone until it's done.
Pick "normal" or "higher than normal" priorities.
deft nebula
And does anyone know how to use nvidia ansel
vapid egret
hello Im new to Unreal is there any link where i can learn about building the AR project

thanks, the thing is it does compiling shaders for almost everything I touch

@ashen cape I suck at making 2d sprites. I gave up when I was first learning gamedev and just grabbed all of Kenny.nl stuff 😜
deft nebula
I have installed the plugin and whitelisted everything but nvidia ansel still blocks it
half turtle
why the... find socket has no get transform in mesh but it has get rotation, scale and location...?
ashen cape
Yeah, Unreal likes to compile shaders so things looks nice and dandy. Sometimes I get to wait for 24000 shaders when working on some 3D project haha.
swift sedge
Found it, @hollow ore!
ashen cape
@hollow ore Can understand why.. I also struggle with animating 2D. Takes a long time to make it look good. xD
swift sedge
I only want to flip around the running animation, not the idle animation.
ashen cape
I haven't found a way to flip individual animations in-engine. 🤔
Might have to use an image editing program to flip the animations so they all face the same direction.
Maybe someone else here knows a way. I found it easier to have all sprites facing right.

@real bane I mean ue5 will change a lot of things. All the work between creating a model in Zbrush to getting it into your game is essentially gone. In a couple of years we'll be like "remember when we had to DRAW QUADS ontop of the HP model and unwrap it and bake normal maps?

looking forward to it
but im also happily still working in UE2 as well. seeing the progression over the years and working between these versions is interesting to me

We'll still have to do some level of mesh optimisation right? Lol, i spent so long learning how to optimize my models and now its almost no use lmao.
jagged meteor
true, but thats the part I felt like I mastered... now that the entire focus is on the artistic work I'm not as confident D:
@plush yew Not sure... it didn't seem like it on the reveal
For now you still have to remesh characters to have a managable amount of polys to rig and animate in a DCC tool tho
plush yew
The video environment seems quite narrow, if you're in a big environment, like a city im sure to some SOME extent it is important
rocky radish
but im also happily still working in UE2 as well. seeing the progression over the years and working between these versions is interesting to me
@real bane did you just left ue2 installed since it was removed or did you get it from some other place?

if you need to launch the engine you can launch the editor directly instead of using the launcher
(i really don't think they should be the same application/backend because of stuff like this)
