@hoary silo Movable works, but why doesn't it work with static?
grim ore
lightmass, cpu cores,

soft fiber
256 lightmap
grim ore
there are reasons, there are ways of mitigating it. generally you can't fix this issue, you will mask it
supple wyvern
do yall have any idea why my trigger mesh gets stretched downwards about 20 times as long as in a render?
grim ore
the proper fix is to have the wall be correct, if its 1 wall its 1 mesh with 1 material with 1 proper UV map.
grim ore
there are quite a few posts and videos out there on how to try and mitigate it but in the end meshes are calculated for light separately so when the lighting is mashed together in the lightmap stuff like this happens
soft fiber
Unreal is generating the lightmap from the UV's in this case.
grim ore
from the lightmap UV channel yes
soft fiber
Here is the UV, not the lightmap.
grim ore
I dont understand the issue here, are you trying to tell me why it should be working or ?
soft fiber
No, I'm trying to figure out next step because I thought I didn't need to generate my lightmap because ue4 was using the UV to create the lightmap?
grim ore
that is correct, but you still have the issue due to what you are doing https://polycount.com/discussion/200584/why-cant-i-get-a-seamless-lightmap-even-with-the-most-simple-geometry

I want to replicate a flying controller of a game I used to play as a kid. I just started learning about UE4 a week ago, and I'm looking for tips how to recreate it as good as possible
https://streamable.com/8yqv4f
Am I better of using physic based movement or not?
grim ore
lightmass out of the box will cause seams across multiple meshes just due to the way it works with modern computers. There are ways of mitigating it however having properly created meshes and using blockers is the way to get the level into the proper state without seams showing
sleek solar
@steady zodiac FloatingPawnMovement component would be a good start https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/GameFramework/UFloatingPawnMovement/index.html
wheat hare
You are inspiring me to do a lighting tutorial
soft fiber
Ok, I'll watch the video you sent me. I'm surprised it so difficult to do something I'd think was kind of simple.
grim ore
@steady zodiac look at the default flying template included with the engine
soft fiber
Thanks
grim ore
it is simple but its like saying "I dumped 100 rocks into a world and it should look good, why doesnt it"
making it "work" and "work right" are not the same
soft fiber
I want the Apple version... lol

steady zodiac
I did take a look at the flying template but decided to start from scratch to learn more about UE4. This is how "far" I am. https://streamable.com/gxg6dm I also have troubles with the pitch. The pawn goes down when the plane is upside down. I'm using AddActorWorldRotation. I disabled the pitch axis in this clip
supple wyvern
any help guys?
grim ore
#graphics or #animation might have more experience with this if no one in here gets you an answer

if it shows it attached to the socket in the skeleton it should be there somewhere

ionic hamlet
does anybody know if there's a noticeable difference between 60 and 75 hz monitors?
ionic hamlet
that makes sense
untold stream
75 is an uneven number, who wants to use a uneven monitor
ionic hamlet
but it has a 5, and 5 is the perfect number
grim ore
and the honest answer is everyone is different so 60hz, 75hz, 99.75hz, 120hz, 4000hz is subjective to the user and game
but below 60hz is just evil and wrong, we don't talk about those numbers
grim ore
just pre planning for the future when we have oculus implants and can handle that rate
supple wyvern
ah
ionic hamlet
I think I never tested a monitor above 60 Hz
supple wyvern
oof
ionic hamlet
and I want to buy a second monitor
supple wyvern
do it if you can afford it
ionic hamlet
so I was wondering if 20 extra β¬ was worth it
ionic hamlet
grim ore
I am very very very very affected by refresh rate so I can feel it when its at certain rates.
ionic hamlet
aight thanks both of you
grim ore
keep in mind your machine has to be able to drive that rate, but for general windows use... smoother is nicer
go 120+ or go broke!
ionic hamlet
yep ik
ionic hamlet
"This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location."
supple wyvern

grim ore
you might get lucky, some 75hz monitors can be overdriven to 90
plush yew
60Hz is better for workstation purposes imo
ionic hamlet
120 Hz monitors are too expensive π
plush yew
more stability and precision in 2D / 3D viewport
supple wyvern
its pretty cheap for one
grim ore
at some point you have to decide on if your comfort is worth the price. Chairs, desks, monitors. all stuff we spend a stupid amount of time using so paying for comfort is a benefit
plush yew
possibly 240 and above
ionic hamlet
the one you linked it's not available in Spain uncle jesseppe
I wanted the second monitor to help me while modeling/programming, but if it can replace my main monitor then better
grim ore
grim ore
that would do it
supple wyvern
do i just need it on the x axis?
grim ore
all transforms and scale should be zeroed out before exporting
everthing basically reset and frozen
well I mean reset and frozen has different names depending on your DCC program but yeah those extra offsets cause issues
supple wyvern
yep
ionic hamlet
seems good but I can't afford it tho π¦ I'm a student and currently not working.
Btw, aren't IPS monitors better than those who doesn't have it?
supple wyvern
and i was just stupid enough to forget that
soft panther
supple wyvern
i also forgot to give the bcg a skeleton as well lol
grim ore
IPS usually has better color accuracy but slower refresh rates. What you want to do with it determines which i best between VA,TN, and IPS
if you aren't doing color accurate work a VA panel is normally good enough as it would have a lower response time and higher refresh rate.
monitors are a chore to find the right one if you care about it. If not buy the size you want as cheap as possible lol
ionic hamlet
got it, I want to sculpt characters and that stuff but I don't think I'll need too much color accuracy, + I already have an IPS monitor so I guess I can go and buy another type of monitor
I will look for VA monitors
grim ore
yeah having semi matching monitors is nice. I have 2 different and ugh.... the right one, while nice, is a different color range due to my new one being HDR
as in you can't see it?
double click the mesh and in the viewport what size does it say the mesh is in units in the top left?

limpid berry
Hello! I'm going through an Unreal course and it is going over these naming conventions. Are they still commonly used on projects you all have worked on?
https://www.ue4community.wiki/Legacy/Assets_Naming_Convention
grim ore
in UE4 since that is where you can't see it
ionic hamlet
one last question (sorry to bother you): is freesync that big of a deal
supple wyvern
why am i the way that i am
grim ore
@limpid berry those are one set of naming conventions. What matters is you decide on one for your project and stick to it. every company will be different
@ionic hamlet for games? it can be. for work in UE4, its a headache and should be disabled. I personally never use it but my machine can play games at high refresh rate. it helps mainly on lower refresh rate issues.
ionic hamlet
aight thanks for the help man
limpid berry
@grim ore That makes sense. I was mostly wondering if it is on a similar level of common usage as K&R / Allman for C++ or Airbnb / Google for JS
ionic hamlet
nice channel btw
supple wyvern
i really dont know i havent slept in 24 hours
grim ore
@limpid berry there is no set standard but for the most part that one is referenced most of the time (it was a guide created by allar). You will find even amongst Epic devs themselves they are not 100% compliant with any standard lol
@supple wyvern well double click the skeletal mesh for the rifle that you attached and is missing so we can see what the size is in UE4
limpid berry
Thanks for the input!
supple wyvern
socket size?
grim ore
like personally I use Mat_ for materials because that is what I started with and I don't like M lol
like this is the size for the default mannequin when I double click on it
what is the size of your gun
supple wyvern
oh
grim ore
I am curious if it imported small since the default UE4 scale is not the same as blender scale
supple wyvern
0.955
grim ore
the Approx Size, it will have 3 dimensions
supple wyvern
but its massive when i add the mesh to the map
grim ore
that was going to be my other guess, you cant see the mesh on the socket because its larger than the camera view. so you are inside of it. but we need the mesh size to make that guess
supple wyvern
mesh size in blender?
grim ore
the approx size
grim ore
your blender settings are set to meters, ue4 scale is centimeters
supple wyvern
1000x5242x1000
uneven fractal
hmm why you be like this unreal

even then that seems big.... did you use any sort of real life scaling when modeling?

I need some help with this engine.
I'm trying to install it, so I select 4.19 and click install, but nothing happens. I don't know if this is a bug,
or if I'm doing something wrong but I'd greatly appreciate some help on this:
I googled this and there's a lot of other people stuck on this issue too.
Is there a way to download Unreal Engine 4 without this installer?
grim ore
you would have to download from the github source and compile it.

Would Visual Studio 2017 be fine to do that?

it would be fine if you follow instructions

I use the mouse for pitch control, but when the pawn is upside down, the controls become reverse. I first thought AddActorLocalRotation might be the issue, but it's the same thing with AddActorWorldRotation.
In unity there is Vector3.Up, that always points up no matter how the model is rotated. Is there something similar in ue4?

cyan cargo
is there a quicker way to edit a large Variable Map? I have to input over 200 entries and the UE4 interface is a pain to scroll through each time I add a new one
manic pawn
theoretically, you can right click the map value, copy, paste into a text editor, change stuff there, then paste it back
you could also consider using a data table instead
cyan cargo
Didn't realize the text would work, so I think I'll do it that way
I'd usea data table but it's values that need to be written to
Thx, that's super helpfulthough @manic pawn
just saved me a many hours of work possibly>_<

all properties can be edited this way, sometimes it is useful
fading kelp
how does one get a sequence into the blueprint to be able to play?
like i see all these screenshots of how to play a sequence, but the never say where the sequence object is, and I cannot seem to find it in the class list
celest vapor
@fading kelp when you have a reference to your sequence, get the sequence player from it and then off of that you can play the sequence
fading kelp
i think the reference to my sequence is what I am after. Dragging and dropping into the blueprint doesn't work.
celest vapor
if its an actor BP or something along those lines then have something feed a ref into the BP, or if the bp is in the world make a variable of sequence type and make it instance editable and set the sequence as the target
fading kelp
I was doing it in the Main BP........I am starting to think that is incorrect and I need a blueprint for the object itself?
fading kelp
Open Level Blueprint
celest vapor
ahh so with the sequence actor placed in the level have it selected and go into your level BP. then right click and there should be something along the lines of 'get reference to sequencenamehere'
fading kelp
oh gosh I have to physically drag the sequence into the level?
celest vapor
yes
fading kelp
no wonder I was lost because the timeline would play my camera cut and everything so I was like 'cool we are getting somewhere'

yee. your level sequence needs to be placed in the level

raw elk
I've never seen this node before, it appears to be similar to mask but random? I couldn't find anything on it so it might be a custom node
I could be wrong, but that's my best guess

once place you might check for this is the example content
some of the stuff from documentation ends up in there

@hidden knoll photopea.com
@cedar wave as a start build a terrain, lower 2 ends for where the water will sit, and then put a cube and stretch it the whole length and width of the lowered part and add a water material

I think you can use a box brush too but not sure

you can also just ask here if you arent sure

also why does a camera i placed in the scene look like this while in perspective
but it looks like this while in orthographic mode
wheat hare
You switched the camera to ortho
Did you intend to switch the viewport to ortho?
I got high and did that
And that's not the only thing...
rigid belfry
i want my camera to be orthographic
thats 100% intended
and i also want to preview the editor in orthographic
yet the modes for that do not look like what i had in mind for my game
in unity you could change the view mode from one to the other with a button press
do i just use the perspective mode and adjust the field of view?
tardy birch
Adjust the Ortho Width @rigid belfry. However, Iβd advise not to make a game that uses that perspective. Youβd be better off in Unity. There are many bugs related to the orthographic views that havenβt been fixed in Unreal for years. You will encounter many issues related to lighting and shadows in particular.
rigid belfry
i really wanted to start a 2.5d isometric kinda project
i'll try with perspective and adjust the settings
maybe i'll try some post process effects
i know unity would suit it better but honestly i'd rather stick with unreal

i'll try with perspective and adjust the settings

hello everyone. currently i'm creating games on unity, but i'm looking into switching to UE4 only thing i'm worried about is that i'm going to have to learn C++ to understand blueprints, i have a basic knowledge on C#, would i still have to learn C++ or would blueprints come easy to me.
mossy nymph
you should start with blueprints and go into c++ only if/when blueprint limitattions start annoying you
aside from needing to read the source code when there is no documentation available, you do not need to be proficient in c++ to understand blueprints
and i strongly suggest not tackling the unreal API and a new language at the same time @rapid dust
rigid belfry
@rapid dust i havent had too many problems transitioning into unreal from unity

Hey, anyone that could explain me how "resource respawning" works? I made it work with just EventTick and Delay, but this results in it attempting to spawn every x sec, not x sec after being picked up
rigid belfry
aside from some specific problems, most of the stuff i've learnt seem to be very similiar to unreal
plush yew
mossy nymph
@plush yew you have resource and resource spawner
resource spawner spawns the resource and when it does, it also binds an event to an event dispatcher in the resource, which resource calls when its picked up
plush yew
Ehm, where is the "resource"?
rigid belfry
there should be a timer by function you can use instead of ticking
mossy nymph
in the event handling the dispatcher in resource spawned, you set timer by event/function name
and the result is new resources spawning however long you tell the timer after being picked up
plush yew
yeah but that only works for one item
aka. if I pick 2 berries in a short time it will only respawn 1
plush yew
I can't seem to find any way of using Timer
only Delay
How do you call it?
or, rather create it
mossy nymph
SetTimerByEvent
mossy nymph
world's timermanager "ticks" timers and executes the bound function/event when time expires
rapid dust
@rigid belfry@mossy nymph thank you
plush yew
I understand, but can't seem to understand how to implement it with the way I have actors built
mossy nymph
on a successful pickup, set the timer to respawn the berry
if you pick up 2, 2 timers will get started, both executing the same respawn function
plush yew
yup, that makes sense, but that means I have to put all the logic in the "Item_Bush" actor
or could I just call a "respawn event" inherited from parent?
mossy nymph
well, i would have a singleton resource manager from the start that (re)spawns all resources
plush yew
Sounds like a bad idea for a large gathering game tbh
mossy nymph
you can, but then you might be better off with settimerbyfunctionname
it doesn't really
its event driven
and it allows you to globally tweak the respawn rates, and to collect proper analytics
mossy nymph
you pull from event red square
type in custom or create event
first one makes an event bount to timer
plush yew
ah gotcha
mossy nymph
second one lets you select an already existing one via dropdown
plush yew
so I shouldn't even have that here
I should put the Set Timer by Event inside the Pick Up function on Success
mossy nymph
you can call a paren't event function by using create event
there is one limitation to that
you can't put an event inside a function
so you're limited to CreateEvent node for handler, if you put the timer inside of it
ashen orbit
Both Host and connected player can attach the weapon, but the host does not see the connected player attaching the weapon. The client sees everything fine. I seem to run into different replication issues everytime I use some new function lol
plush yew
@mossy nymph wait, the "Event" input is the event that's supposed to run after timer is over, right?
That will only work with functions with no inputs though?..
mossy nymph
yes, thats why i suggested using an event dispatcher and different object to spawn resources
plush yew
By different object do you mean a parent class?
Sorry, I'm confused af, bear with me
Trying to move over from C#
mossy nymph
no, i was thinking of something like AResourceSpawnerManager
its useful in the long run
plush yew
But that means I'll need those for all sorts of resources, right?
mossy nymph
one can do for all of them
it just needs to know what it spawns for each actor class
ideally, that is tossed into a datatable or other static data asset
plush yew
Would that be an actor component or an actor
mossy nymph
depends
you can have one actor with several manager components
or multiple manager actors
if you only need one manager, then an actor
you pre place it in the level
cache the reference to it (can be done as part of saving the level, but not with blueprints)
and have a blueprint function library function that can access it
plush yew
whoa okay, I'm a beginner mate
I'm used to just calling an async function with a timer and passing an object reference to it and that's it
timer ends, function does its, done
mossy nymph
coroutines are not supported yet
brazen cairn
plush yew
still a bit confused
I mean, the meaning is to remove as much logic from the item itself as possible
preferably only have this in all objects that are gatherable
then inside the Pick Up, call an event/function (no idea what the difference in UE is) that has a timer, and after the timer ends respawn the passed resource
right?
mossy nymph
event is the red node, and it can only be placed in event graph
it cannot have a return value
otherwise it behaves exactly the same as a function
plush yew
okay, so we basically make a new object that has an event "respawn something"
in which you pass the object to respawn
mossy nymph
that object would already know what to respawn
based on the class of the actor that executed the pickup
so it would not need to be told
what type are your berries, static mesh actors?
plush yew
static mesh component
mossy nymph
there are few other solutions here
like having a Get function that returns the array of resources
that you just override in each inherited class
plush yew
I mean, only problem I see right now is how to call the RespawnItem event
mossy nymph
and then you don't need to push the array into RespawnItem
as it can just call GetResources itself
plush yew
but didn't you say RespawnItem is supposed to be in its own object ItemRespawnManager?
how do you reference that event in the item

Hey guys is there any way to save Steam Avatar from Get Steam Friend Avatar cause when I save it in struct and load it I get null for some reason.
Also I tried saving the steam profile picture in separate texture2d variable but it still does not work :/

When I run the Interact event twice in a row, the Respawn Item Event only gets run once. Why is that? Is it because only one Timer instance is used? If so, how can I create multiple Timer instances?

i have a wheeled vehicle pawn and the physics asset im using for the mesh looks like this: (is this bad because my car doesn't drive in the right direction, and it barely moves in the first place)

I have this concept for a shield, any ideas how I could implement this? My current best idea is using a duplicated character mesh with an invisible material that only shows itself upon projectile impact. But I'm unsure of how to detect a projectile and show the material in only that spot.

gloomy ginkgo
so you want to use this rougelike c++code in ue?

@gloomy ginkgo Yes, really I just want to follow a tutorial that teaches C++ in Unreal, but ideally it's a rogue-like as that's the game I want to make
steady zodiac
I've a simple block of code that doesn't seem to work like I want it to be ..
For a flying game, I want the plane pawn to follow the direction of the mouse cursor. Here is the code for that
FVector worldLocation, worldDirection;
UGameplayStatics::GetPlayerController(GetWorld(), 0)->DeprojectMousePositionToWorld(worldLocation, worldDirection);
FRotator rot = UKismetMathLibrary::FindLookAtRotation(GetActorLocation(), worldLocation);
SetActorRotation(rot);
However If I start the game, the pawn rotates by -90 deg for some reason https://streamable.com/13jx63
This is the only code I have in the tick function

Is it possible to save unique Net id to struct?

Hey all π Maybe it's something obvious, but I can't find a way to bound Characters::OnLanded with Actor component's functionality. I need to reset some stuff when a character touches the ground. Flying mode is involved.
CharacterMovementComponent::IsMovingOnGround and !CharacterMovementComponent::IsFalling can't help me even combined .
Maybe someone has a piece of advice? π I'd appreciate that
exotic thicket
at least in BP's you can use On Movement Mode Changed
maybe there's a similar delegate in C++
vocal copper
I change it, I start falling, but there is a variable I have to reset to prevent an action shooting twice. Best place to do it is on the ground π

Hi guys.
Beginner question.
Is the packaging process the difference between an unreal engine project and a working app ?
If not, then when does it stop being a project and start being a finished game ?
ashen orbit
when you package i believe you get an .exe for example if you compile for windows
and that is a playable version of the game
frank oar
Ok @ashen orbit thank you!
Packaging produces a file but also leaves you with your original file I would imagine ?
So you still have the original "project" file but then also a playable version ?
turbid vigil
are youtube links allowed?
indigo veldt
basically when you package a game it duplicates the files and compresses it into smaller uncodeable pieces just the same version of your project but in a playable state and yes your project will still be there its only duplicates it in simpler terms
ashen orbit
@turbid vigil is it something you need help with?
ashen orbit
sure
turbid vigil
has to do sth with the game mod
my char always spawns when i play
but i cant put the bp itself in the game and play it when the game starts
indigo veldt
ok rather using your actual character blueprint use the player start as a place holder for your character

you can go to world settings and select your default pawn class your character

go to 5:10 of the video
then u understand what im tryna achieve
i can do it while ig but after i esc the settings reset
bc the bp despawns

did you go to your 3d mesh renderer and selected your character

but hacking is offline games is generally something that people don't do in most games, especially smaller ones

@indigo veldt a bit late, but are you using dynamic lighting?

@steady zodiac without knowing anything about UE or the actors, but with knowledge of World and Local, I say LocalOffset

Yeah, I've tried LocalOffset, but the ship will act weird and override the previous rotation
https://streamable.com/x5itq3
plush yew
@indigo veldt fucking around with lightmap res when using dynamic lighting won't do anything
you gotta set the Shadow Slope Bias to 1
to get rid of the artifacts
if you're using a DirectionalLight or a SpotLight
you can use PCSS via r.Shadow.FilterMethod (without enough samples, the shadows will look noisy using this; make sure to use r.Shadow.MinResolution 2048 and r.Shadow.MaxResolution 4096 when using PCSS), it'll get rid of the artifacts as well as generating distance-based soft shadows

does anyone know if theres a way to upscale the resolution on the 2dscene capture or is that a hard limitation?
exotic thicket
I'm not 100% sure but isn't it based on the render target resolution?
so if you increase the resolution of the render target then it might capture it at a higher resolution as well - not sure, but maybe worth a try if you haven't tried it

Soooooooooooo
I asked this on packaging but it's a local problem now
I packaged my game, ran out of space for Derived cache and it crashed the editor. I free'd up space etc but now I can't open ANY project in UE4, as soon as i click anything it crashes saying the graphics driver shut down?
wtf do i do now lol
Side note: i could do other things before a crash if I left the output log open? as soon as i minimised the output log/closed it the editor would crash
Another side note, I have a dedicated GPU & a main gpu, if I disable the dedicated gpu it doesn't crash but everything runs like shit
So it seems if I leave any editor related window open in the foreground it doesn't crash? currently got Message Log in the foreground and using editor in background?
Looks like it's using all 16gb of ram and now using 100% of the disk too>?

If the art isn't the focus, then that's going to be the better way anyhow

definitely not art focus

If you don't want to use that, consider finding other people to partner with?

If they said explicitly to not work with others, then don't

But yeah if you find an artist to work alongside it'd look better IMO

ye

Both you and the artist get a benefit too

their art has more life, your systems look nicer.
Both y'all can prove you'll tolerate another human
void barn
but im curious about 1 thing
if u have taken the "borrowed" 3D models
u rig the whole thing urself
made the animation urself
from atking
walk run everything
worn granite
still violates copyright law
worn granite
it isn't even transformative enough to fall under fair use
Feel free to do whatever you like in your own time, but make extra sure your use of that doesn't "leak"
worn granite
Having no respect for copyright, by showing a project with copyright violations, doesn't look good.
Mods are... interesting.
You can spin pretty much anything though, and most games are fine with modding so long as you never distribute any of the games assets
worn granite
no
You make a project out of somebody's IP, or using their IP, and they can (and often will) shut you down hard.

Had a friend who doesn't dev anymore cause of this dancing around the line stuff

that explain well

Not at all, plus there's the whole angel of not having permission to the works besides.
Intent of the author and whatnot
That's a whole discussion
void barn
but for unreal engine asset store
or unity
that is perfectly fine right
u buy and use it and publish
paragon chara and etc
worn granite
Mhmm
There's a license to go along with those
A non-exclusive right to use the assets as a portion of a larger product.
Usually explicit prohibition of redistribution as-is
etc
And the more emotional aspects go away as well, the author is fully aware that their work will be used in all manner of different ways

Question: in the docs -> Visual Studio Setup, it states below, but where is the pre-requisite installer?
Run the Unreal Engine Pre-Requisite Installer
When you install Unreal Engine from the Epic Launcher, or if you clone it from GitHub, the Unreal Engine pre-requisite installer runs automatically. However if you install or sync Unreal Engine from Perforce, you will need to manually run the pre-requisite installer. You need to do that before running any Unreal Engine tools you have built locally.

The sequences are dialog chunks so I'll probably just use anim notifies and code it.
It worked! That was incredibly easy. In case anyone cares, work flow was Motion Builder->Maya->Unreal, then Unreal->Animation Graph-> AnimNotify at the start of the animation playback. The actual notify was added to the animation sequence with baked curves.
midnight root
If you use blender you might get better results , but then if you code it yourself...
I typed that not realizing you had used maya ;)),weird timing
left zephyr
It's a modular character system so the anim graph blends the lip sync motion with the playing animations. I used the voice device in in MB to do the blendshape sync.

I'd prob. be stuck with blender as I've no money sufficient for anything maya but it sounds fascinating

when I get velocity and then get the vector length, what unit of measurement is it?
midnight root
Does https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/BlueprintAPI/Math/Vector/index.html help at all ?

It's the units that Unreal uses
I have to be vague because you can change it
it defaults to cm
So, your velocity length gives you speed in cm/s

Hi All,
I am rendering a still frame of my scene through the Movie Render Queue and getting these strange lines all over my render. These lines are not visible in the viewport or through the camera.
Please Help!
devout swift
@jovial pollen Thanks for replying, I went into the inputs in project settings but I dont see options to unbind the default Q and E bindings there. The only action mapping that shows there is the one I created.
if I were to do it through code, which function could I use to unbind a default pawn key binding like Q and E (which move the pawn up/down along the z-axis)?
To add my keybinding I used:
InputComponent->BindAction("Grab", IE_Pressed, this, &UGrabber::Grab);```I see there's a function called InputComponent->RemoveActionBinding() but how would I reference the default Q binding to remove the binding?
For reference, my code is on a class that inherits from UActorComponent. I attached that component to a Custom Pawn Blueprint whose parent is the Default Pawn class

@sweet wagon maybe you're using the integrated graphics

And how does one change that?

sweet wagon
Ill do that and already am thankful for your help!

if you press the arrow on the left down side of your screen, there should be something called nvdia panel
sweet wagon
Currently updating, hold up
Ok done
Which one would I have to change, this one?
It was on Auto before
rigid belfry
from there just follow the guide you posted
yeah if it was on auto, your computer was using the CPU as graphic card
have you played any games or is this your first time booting up the computer
sweet wagon
Computer is running since a couple months.
Already worked in URE4 with modding and such with it.
Now with working in my own project however, it gave me this error

its very probable that you've always been gaming on the integrated graphics card π what games did you play and what frames can you get in those games
sweet wagon
Overwatch, Deadside, Ark and much more.
Honestly, always had good fps, smooth, no issue.
That's why I didn't notice it tbh
rigid belfry
i see
anyway, if you are sure you changed the right setting, the try restarting your pc real quick
also if you use steam
in the settings, under "in game" option there is a check mark that lets you see your frames while playing games
sweet wagon
Alright, I'll restart, check that in and then test

okay good

Well so far it went from 60 to 60 haha
Well important is the URE4 Editor so lemme test that

so i made this supermarket model myself , and its not recieving light
its not overlapping UVs
or face orientaion stuff
its fine before i build the lighting , but after
it goes black
rigid belfry
@austere scroll what about UV channels?
rigid belfry
create a new material and just use the texture as base color
maybe try plugging a constant of value 0 to the other parameters
also are you sure there are 2 UV channels?
austere scroll
@rigid belfry like this ?
rigid belfry
only on metallic, spec and roughness
dont put nothing on the others
and i mean
the supermarket you created
should have a texture painted, right?
austere scroll
wdmy ?
rigid belfry
did you paint a texture for the supermarket or is it using the default material
austere scroll
default
austere scroll
i usually dont make materials in my 3d software
bcz i dont know how to export them with the mesh
rigid belfry
also, instead of using a vector 3 for the color, try pressing T and left click
that creates a texture sample node
austere scroll
i dont have a picture to put tho
rigid belfry
from there, try using any of the textures that come with unreal
austere scroll
ok
rigid belfry
if you have the starter content that is
rigid belfry
yeah
austere scroll
its not even having materials
rigid belfry
there's something going on with the UV channels
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5yc-bKbHyc try following this tutorial?
i know its pretty old
but most of it should still be relevant
austere scroll
ok
rigid belfry
i found this while looking at similiar problems people had with UV channel
there's probably something more up to date
austere scroll
ok i'll check out the video
austere scroll
@rigid belfry i followed the tutorial start to finish
but same result
i even followed instructions from a forum
still nothing
rigid belfry
sorry, i dont know what else could it be
austere scroll
no problem
rigid belfry
can you try creating a new level and using only that asset?
rigid belfry
is it black only when you drag it in the level or also in the preview
inside the content browser
austere scroll
no when i build the lighting
its black
here it is
before building the lighting
rigid belfry
that is 100% related to the UVs though
austere scroll
they are spaced out and not overlapping , where the problem could be ?
could it be a case of the engine glitching out ? do i restart it /
?
rigid belfry
try this
enable the polygon editing plugin and restart
once you restart, find the static mesh for your asset and there should an option that lets up unwrap the UV
rigid belfry
i think you're missing beta plug ins
if you notice, in the top left corner where it says "built -in", i have 297 plugins while you have only 187

drag a pp volume, set motion blur to 0
@rigid belfry it wont change anything because if you turn it off in project settings it will do the same for you
rigid belfry
disable all pp effects and see whats causing it
rocky radish
see if it happens with no anti-aliasing or with FXAA
fierce forge
it is not from post process
rigid belfry
i think ue uses temporal anti-aliasing by default
fierce forge
anti aliasing off
rocky radish
and does it still happen?
rigid belfry
there are new stars?
fierce forge
yes
rocky radish
if you still want anti-aliasing you could use FXAA too (it's bad compared to TAA but doesn't cause the problem either)

I added a few screenshots to showcase the problem: https://imgur.com/a/FZ23sTa
One thing that I find extremely weird, is that I turned off the shadows for the curbs, sidewalks, and roads. Unreal seems to ignore this.
