how do i make it so that a material is completely bright all of the time even if it is in a shadow? doing unlit just makes it so its completely black and doing spec1 metal1 rough0 makes it be dark when its in a shadow. how do i make sure that it is always bright

@plush yew Which landmass content are you looking for?

#

the blueprint brushes will be up in the sculpt toolbar after you toggle it off and on. And if you are using layers they would show up. When you create the landscape there is a checkbox for "Enable Edit Layers" or you can click on the landscape after it is created and check that box

#

yeah you need to make sure you check Enable Edit Layers when you create it or after

#

#

#

then at the top the blueprint brushes will show up for adding

#

if it doesnt show up go back to select mode then landscape to have it show up

#

The other alternative is to go back to .24 and learn it the way he is doing it, then try the same process in .25

So in bp there's a new variable of type "property reference", and looking at bp classes there's "BlueprintPropertyContainerTestObject" and "BlueprintPropertyTestObject", what are those intended for?

vernal thicket Jun 9, 2020, 8:03 PM

#

@grim ore the timeline was bang on man thanks, does it loop in the BP because of selecting loop inside the timeline?

grim ore Jun 9, 2020, 8:05 PM

#

if you want it to auto loop yep you can do that inside of the timeline

#

or just run a wire from the completed to the start again lol

@plush yew the normal UE4 Marketplace sells blueprints? same with gumroad probably

With the flcikering light down is there a way to make the point lights in the level less exhausting to the system?

#

Without removing shadows tho 😬

grim ore Jun 9, 2020, 8:10 PM

#

technically using stationary instead of movable, but beyond that.... smaller lights or less lights visible at a time?

vernal thicket Jun 9, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

Ah yeah, i think having 1000 actors in a level doesn't help though? Lol

#

1010 to be precise

grim ore Jun 9, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

depends on the actors but lights themselves, movable ones especially that are shadow casting, are heavy if overused. You could turn down the shadow quality perhaps

#

#graphics people are much smarter on stuff like this

hi

#

im having trouble getting real world scaling to work in ue5

#

ue4*

#

how is there no default measuring tool

#

its insane

#

yea but if i type 8 in the X-axis for a cube

#

thats alot bigger then 1cm

#

its even bigger then 8 meters

#

so how do i know?

#

is this some lesson in scaling

#

im just looking for a little guidance

#

idk where to punch in the cm units

#

anyone?

grim ore Jun 9, 2020, 8:59 PM

#

@jade rivet do you mean SCALING the static mesh cube or greating new geometry?

jade rivet Jun 9, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

i want to make that default cube 80 feet by 200 feet

#

i get that the scale should remain 1;1

#

im using it for architecture

#

so im just wondering where i manually punch in the cm' for invidiual objects

grim ore Jun 9, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

well the default cube is a static mesh so you would have to scale it. or are you using the geometry brushes?

jade rivet Jun 9, 2020, 9:00 PM

#

to get accurate results

#

no geometry brush

#

where do i see the 2458 by 9096

#

6096*

grim ore Jun 9, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

geometry brush?

📎 unknown.png

#

if using a mesh you would have to edit it in the program you are using to create the meshes

jade rivet Jun 9, 2020, 9:01 PM

#

oh

dusty scroll Jun 9, 2020, 9:01 PM

things get out of hand quick when scaling static meshes, create a ruler actor to double check measurements if unsure

Is this a Geometry Brush or a Static Mesh?

if its a brush you can put in the exact sizes, but keep in mind brushes are for blocking out and designing stuff not final product

normally you would cast to something but you can't do that with levels

whole quarry Jun 9, 2020, 10:03 PM

@mellow flame if it can be avoided, then better. If you add stuff on event tick, it takes longer to calculcate the bp per frame. So basically the lesser is better.

I've even disabled auto-tick for bp so I wont forget

@subtle hatch A joystick has two axes, each runs from -1 to 1 in value depending on how far it is in that direction. So one direction will be positive and one negative. You're trying to get a sine of a single axis value which doesn't represent a point on a circle.

right click content browser, create new blueprint. then click the arrow at the bottom so you can see all classes, and search/click on hud

#

youre missing the interface

#

go the class settings

#

top middle

#

then on the right, find interfaces

#

add "input interface"

#

the blue node is "call interface event" you can do this from anywhere

#

to impliment an interface event itself, you need to add that interface to that class

#

#

show your interfaces

in class settings

#

i think you still didnt add it

#

ya

see middle right

interface add button

click that

add "input interface"

#

ohh i see it now

maybe compile?

if the event is in the interface that is

if not, you need to create that event

I'm not sure if you can do collisions directly in Sketchup, but if you open your Sketchup imported mesh, you can set up collisions manually in UE

Try setting the collision mode to "Use Complex as Simple"

this would use the actual mesh as the collision target

it may have some perf penalties and stuff but it's probably the fastest way to get it working :)

austere scroll Jun 10, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

the whole actor is just a cylinder

#

so it doesnt matter

#

but i think its just the component , what does that change ?

rocky radish Jun 10, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

yes it does, if you set the relative location of the whole actor it will change the entire thing, not just the component, so its basically just changing the world location

vernal thicket Jun 10, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

nah it's the same, no texture lol

#

brb

rocky radish Jun 10, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

you gotta change the components relative location @austere scroll otherwise you wont get the result you're looking for

#

also because you're getting the CYLINDER relative location wich is 0X 0Y

#

so it will move to 0X 0Y anyways

austere scroll Jun 10, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

ok i understand

rocky radish Jun 10, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

How can I make a spherical shaped static mesh simulate physics like a sphere?
right now it is like a hexagon
@bright river just check the 'simulate physics' box in the details pannel

#

you would need to make it a complex collision, but if you want to simulate physics with that object then it wouldn't work

#

thats not what i'm saying

#

i'm saying that if you want per-poly collision to have a perfect ball collision you should use complex collision as simple in the mesh settings

#

but if you want to simulate physics complex collision would not work

#

there are workarounds i think

@rocky radish im sorry for many questions , it worked but NOW it resets to 0Z and does the animation from there , i've been trying to squeeze a soloution but i couldnt ;-;

does the z in the timeline begins on 0?

austere scroll Jun 10, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

yea but if i put it to something else , it will start from that value in the world , and im making many of them in diffrent locations .

so basically im trying to make it so the animation starts on the current Z without changing X and Y

rocky radish Jun 10, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

you can get the FloatZ from the timeline and sum it by the current world z i think

austere scroll Jun 10, 2020, 2:39 PM

so this.

rocky radish Jun 10, 2020, 2:42 PM

@austere scroll did it work with the float + float?

austere scroll Jun 10, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

no , it does the animation but it goes up with the animation , like a rocket launching but stopping every 3 secs since thats the timeline

rocky radish Jun 10, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

huh, sorry for the wrong guess

austere scroll Jun 10, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

no no problem

#

waittt, i have an idea , let me see

#

so , i summed up the cylinder Z location with the float Z

📎 unknown.png

#

but

#

its the same thing all over

#

it starts from 0Z

rocky radish Jun 10, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

because the cylinder relative transform is 0 0 remember, a COMPONENT relative location is relative to its root and the ACTOR relative location is relative to the world

restive eagle Jun 10, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

@regal mulch latest #looking-for-talent application looks more like an advertisement than an actual offer

austere scroll Jun 10, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

@rocky radish summing up the actors Z location with the float z is supposed to work , bcz logically its adding the values to the actors location anr the actor itself isnt moving its the component thats moving , it might be something we understood wrong

@ashen orbit If it doesn't sync up with monitor (V-Sync) it probably runs at max fps.. So the gpu hits 100% because it runs at some 1000+ fps

@ashen orbit Project Settings -> Engine -> General Settings.. But it doesn't really make sense to limit it. I guess.. I mean most games want to have high fps count.. And it will go down fast with more stuff in it xD

vernal thicket Jun 10, 2020, 3:16 PM

@fiery moat you need to do a check to see if the player is still receiving damage, & maybe put a delay before it starts regenerating, that's usually how games do it

How would you approach actor/pawn initialization logic when it gets more complicated, for example with loading saved games?

#

I was using Begin Play to kick off stuff but frankly it's starting to look like that at least more complex actors will just get sync issues - ie. the actor is loaded, begin play calls and starts it, and then the saved data is applied...

#

I'm probably just going to have an interface for actors that have more complex setup and have those get called in new game / load game situations... but frankly I have no idea if that's a good idea :P

Hey everybody! I've managed to solve my predicament. A very kind user on the AnswerHub post pointed out that I should check my Windows Update. Turns out that yes, there had been an update in-between Unreal working & not working that I hadn't been aware of. I simply rolled back the version and voila: Unreal is working flawlessly now. Thanks to everyone who's leant their help & advice over the last week or so! Hope this helps anybody else experiencing similar issues.

@hidden knoll you usually don't need to cast to an interface, you can call interface functions directly without knowing whether the object implements it or not

tacit onyx Jun 10, 2020, 5:47 PM

#

@hidden knoll You cast to your UI the same way you cast to an Actor class. Get a reference of it and cast to the correct type.

hidden knoll Jun 10, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

What should I use as the object?

tacit onyx Jun 10, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

You need to save the reference somewhere after creating it instead of just removing it and recreating it.

exotic thicket Jun 10, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

If your UI resets everything like that then it might be that you're reconstructing the whole UI from scratch... you can keep the objects around instead of rebuilding them

hidden knoll Jun 10, 2020, 5:48 PM

Oh, how do I keep them?

I have been using event construct, which is the issue, is there another event I can use that doesn't reset them?

Anyone have tips on equipment sizing for different body types (RPG style inventory equipment)?

I'd imagine it would look pretty odd with completely different body types, like a big fat troll and a tiny gnome. Different parts of the mesh would need to be resized, and even at doing so there's a chance that would look ugly. Male/female difference in the same armor piece as well - I can't just make the mesh bigger to account for a different body shape, it would look dumb xD

@plush yew What are you game mode and controller settings? I get 0s whenever I try to get axis mouse input and no mouse key is being pressed no matter what I do.

#

Simply clicking doesn't change anything

azure shore Jun 10, 2020, 8:16 PM

so like if I was using add force node how would I use delta time with that

#

Im sure I tried this before and it was messed up

tight shell Jun 10, 2020, 8:18 PM

#

@plush yew Well...default tp template is quite different form the controller I have here which is more MMORPG style. If I go and set up the controller in the same way we have, it will once again not capture mouse axis input unless a mouse key is pressed

#

and by pressed I mean held down

#

For example I have 0 problems making rmb mouse turn, it gives me the axis

#

but then I want to use some other keyboard key to turn the camera - nothing

oohh I think I was having to use impulse because isnt add force only for physics?

tight shell Jun 10, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

The game mode. GameOnly will give axis input, GameAndUI won't

#

erm....input mode I mean

azure shore Jun 10, 2020, 8:20 PM

#

OH I remember now, I was using launch character, Im not sure how to affect capsule component with add force

#

ah so how would I get add force to move the capsule

tight shell Jun 10, 2020, 8:21 PM

#

And as per our specs we can't just go switching between the input modes every time we rotate camera, has to just stay in GameAndUI mode

azure shore Jun 10, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

no add force needs physics enabled apparently

tight shell Jun 10, 2020, 8:22 PM

#

I had to do this ridiculous thing to make it give me axis input in that mode, but as you may imagine....this creates a huge problem where it can no longer differentiate between the "fake" mouse click and the real one

azure shore Jun 10, 2020, 8:23 PM

I dont want the capsule using physics but add force does nothing and then shows the warnings that it needs physics enabled

@frozen pond unfortunately, if it has no skeleton, youre going to need some experience with rigging or at least hope some third party tool can help. usually rigging involves painting the weights of each bone which is typically requires a human hand to nail down. you can try the online mixamo tool, it seems to do an okay job most of the time.

tiny sonnet Jun 10, 2020, 10:17 PM

@twin locust there is no master volume, but if you put all sounds in the same class, you can control them their volume at the same time

Do IES light textures not work in 4.25 or?

past pilot Jun 10, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

OK im confused. I cant work in 4.25.1 in DX because it crashes constantly and quickly with RHI and DX errors. I installed the latest drivers, I reverted the project to a state before the crashes started in case it was the project, i completely deleted to project and pulled it fresh from git, I verified 4.25.1 binary installation, i pulled the source version of the engine and built it and no matter what i do it still crashes on that project. If i make a new project no crashes. In my project the menus blink and flash and get garbled up then the editor crashes. My partner however has no crashes and can run the project just fine in his 4.25.1...

I verified its not completely the engine because i can run other projects fine and i downgraded the project to 4.24.3 to test and it crashes exactly the same way. I ruled out installation because its doing it in both the binary and the source version, two sperate installations. I know its not my driver because i can run the engine just fine when im not in my project. My project adds absolutely nothing to the default 3rd person map and even happens on a blank map. It only has an inventory system that i decoupled from the character so nothing is running that is different from the default project. I am completely confused and lost here....

is your knife an actual mesh or just like a cube mesh?

#

cube mesh

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

from the basic tab?

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

yeah

#

It would be great if it could keep the velocity of the projectile, but also have physics

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:32 AM

#

Well bullets drop via gravity but I see what you mean

#

I can't remember if I had my bullets staying in the level or not, i had an fps so it would've affected performance

#

With my project is was more about receiving an event on collision with an enemy

#

Also there's got to be a way to keep physics with the velocity, how would people throw grenades and sh*t otherwise

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:34 AM

#

yeah

exotic thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:34 AM

#

You could probably keep the velocity by using a physics thruster component, or reapply the velocity on tick

#

Although maybe you could just set damping to 0 🤔

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

Where is the damping?

exotic thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

it's in the physics category of properties iirc

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

oh

#

OOoh I think I found the problem

#

The actor itself had collisions off

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

oh

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:37 AM

#

oh wait nevermind that was on spawn

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:38 AM

#

If there is no physics wouldnt the knife just stop in mid air and stay there?

#

As if the knife was stuck in the wall i guess

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:39 AM

#

Yes

#

or float away

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

So

#

Physics and Projectile are incompatible

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:40 AM

#

I don't know, I saw a tutorial and this one guy was doing it

#

Unless maybe he wasn't using physics

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:41 AM

#

https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/736999/simulate-physics-and-projectile-movement-component.html?sort=oldest

#

So it looks like if you want it to stick into the wall then use projectile, if you want physics where it bounces you'd use that

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:42 AM

#

Oh

#

Maybe I will just have the actor be destroyed when it hits an object

exotic thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:44 AM

#

The problem could also be that the collider is not the root of the object

#

I've had tons of weird problems with physics objects that didn't have the primitive component used for collision as its root

#

and the force needs to also be applied on the root component

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:47 AM

#

See i've only had the one experience and it worked fine at colliding with pawns, just had no interest in the physics side of it

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:49 AM

#

Dang now I can't figure out how to have it destroy when it hits a wall

#

It won't let me use the actor

exotic thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:50 AM

#

I mean if you have the collision event it should really just be a matter of calling Destroy Actor with Self

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

Destroy self under the box will just destroy the box collision tho right?

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:54 AM

#

Okay sweet I got it

#

I just enabled collision to the cube mesh

#

Now I just need to learn how to add particles

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:55 AM

#

Spawn particle emitter at location

#

get the location from where the collision takes place

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:56 AM

#

okay

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

Are you using the collision box?

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:57 AM

#

no

#

Should I use Sweep Result Impact Point?

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

I have no idea at this point I always use the collision box coz it's as simple as on collision lol

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

oh lol

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 5:59 AM

#

what is it that actually collides now just the actual cube?

#

the knife

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:00 AM

#

yeah

#

just cause I couldn't figure out how to reference the whole actor inside of it

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:03 AM

#

Can you take an on collision from the cube?

#

the knife

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:06 AM

#

Well I have it so when it hits stuff it destroys itself

#

But now I can't get the emitter to spawn at the location it hit

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

Technically if it destroys itself it'll destroy the emitter spawned inside too

#

Maybe put a slight delay after the emitter before it destroys itself?

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:09 AM

#

I don't know if that's it, the emitter still spawns, just at the center of the map

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

The defined location is wrong then

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:10 AM

#

I don't know how to get the location of the knife, when I try get actor location, it doesn't show up with the knife actor

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:16 AM

#

If you click the knife and right click on event graph you should have the option under the first drop down of a event on collision

#

You should be able to get the location from there and do what you need>?

#

if you are using the event collision, right click on sweep result and click split struct pin

#

then you have an option for sweep location

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:21 AM

#

okay

#

Oh wow somehow I made it so the knives stick into the wall! Thanks lol

#

So random but epic

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:23 AM

#

Haha nice

#

did u get ur particle effect?

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:24 AM

#

no

#

Also somehow there is an error that is causing the knives to stick

#

Cause I tried destroying the scene component root when it hits

#

Lol I tried having the movement stop and when they hit the ground then just sink into it

#

Yay I found a non-buggy way to make the knives stop

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

a lot of this is playing around with things figuring out how they work tbf lol

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

LOL and I just figured out how to make the particles spawn at the right place

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

There we go then, how did u do it?

hidden knoll Jun 11, 2020, 6:29 AM

#

Get world location (box)

#

instead of get actor location

#

This is probably the funnest project I've worked on

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:31 AM

#

lmao

#

The amount of times I've tried to do something thinking it would be complex and the solution is a checkbox or something really stupid i've lost count

#

it's the new pre-fetching compiler

#

it fetches your shaders from the future to compile them now to save you time later

How hard can it be to get the size of a list?

late verge Jun 11, 2020, 6:43 AM

#

what are the current problems with the Chaos system?

#

id love to see environmental destruction down the line

#

curious as to what the hurdles currently are

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 6:47 AM

#

Damn

#

I wanted Left Click for Interactions but since adding a gun it would make things too complicated

Hello guys! I'm trying to keep the exact same colors on ES3.1 but I can't find any solutions. Does somebody know why for example the blood is not keeping the original color? In the particle system looks good but when spawning the colors are washed

#

Guys how would you replicate a line trace to cause damage to a health float amongst multiple AI?

#

Without casting to all the different AI's on each fire D:

teal tulip Jun 11, 2020, 7:03 AM

#

Render features aren't the same so you have to calibrate it as you can @azure reef

#

Plus the light is un build

azure reef Jun 11, 2020, 7:04 AM

#

I need to change the colors in particle system and preview on es3? Even if in particle system are not what I want?

#

Teste also with lights but the same

teal tulip Jun 11, 2020, 7:05 AM

#

Well you can try to change the post process from the scene too as looks burn

#

Is too bright overall

azure reef Jun 11, 2020, 7:06 AM

#

Right now I don't have any PP

#

I'll add one and I'll see the changes

#

I didn't want to use PP for performance

teal tulip Jun 11, 2020, 7:06 AM

#

Another fact looks like 425 have some rendering broken

#

Well that's it then

#

Without the HDR will look like that

#

Make it darker then

azure reef Jun 11, 2020, 7:10 AM

#

Yes, with PP is more like a blood now 🙂

#

Thank you

#

hey guys, is niagara working good on mobile or should i stick to cascade?

How long does it take to compile shaders takes almost a hour

#

How long does it usally take to compile shaders on start

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:42 AM

#

Anyone know how to make sure a anim plays from start no matter how many times you call it?

plush yew Jun 11, 2020, 9:43 AM

#

if u are playing a montage, it shoul start from the beginning right?

#

that's what happend in my case at least

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

Nah an animation blended at the spine to shoot a gun

#

but i've got the particle effect and the sound both inside the animation under notifies

plush yew Jun 11, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

ahh ok, im not sure

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

but if I spam the shoot button it doesn't play the sound or particle effect but still shoots the fkin line trace

plush yew Jun 11, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

I totally get what you mean

#

good luck 😄

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:44 AM

#

Lmao

#

If I loop it just plays twice

#

Start position is 0

#

There is no reason this shouldnt work properly -_-

plush yew Jun 11, 2020, 9:45 AM

#

Long time ago I download a takarov pistol that is ready to shoot inside the game

#

works like a charm, have no issue with projectile spawn and sound

#

i remember he fires the sound in the input action tho

#

not from anim notify

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

Ye I usually would but i'm trying to save on blueprint space lol

tight prawn Jun 11, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

hey there

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

It makes more sense to have it inside the actual animation than play it under the blueprint coz then you have to specify the locaiton etc etc etc

tight prawn Jun 11, 2020, 9:46 AM

UE4 keeps crashing when building lighting

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:46 AM

#

Too much lighting?

#

Sh*t pc?

tight prawn Jun 11, 2020, 9:47 AM

#

i've tracked the issue down to check map for errors

#

i have a single skylight

#

and my pc is totally fine

#

just running check map for errors I get a memory access violation exception

#

any clues?

vernal thicket Jun 11, 2020, 9:49 AM

#

Not a clue bud

plush yew Jun 11, 2020, 9:49 AM

You can get socket location from blueprint
