Question about SDF and distance to nearest surface . Is there a way we can embed a object ID into the mask generated with an object Intersecting with a grid ? I am capturing this grid via a screen capture 2D to generate a render target . Looking for a way for the render target to somehow embed the object/instance ID of the intersections

the padding around letters is defined in the font
so there are two options
- you're not giving it enough space, and it's aligned to the top
- the font is just bad

I want to attach the red shoe to the foot, so when I move it moves with the foot and does not go off set. how to do that?
I tried attaching the socket but it didnt work well
mmm anyone
plush yew
look into modular character meshes
socket would work well for say a backpack, helmet or gun. But I don't think it will work well for something like shoes/clothing

Im looking for a very s[pecific video and idk how tf to find it. I need a working gun with a inventory system, ammo system, drop system, and pickup system
calm oasis
hey quick questions, how do i disable eye adaptation on my game? like definetly, not in the editor
stark marsh
hello my attacking is based on collision, so when my sword hits in enemy's capsule collider it registers as a hit and does damage
but sometimes if i attack at a weird angle it registers a hit when he swings, and then registers a hit when he's going back from attacking to his idle / walking animation
which i really don't want, i want it so it only can count a hit once per swing, and no more
maybe i could create some sort of variable that lasts for like half a second which if it's true damage will be dealt
robust oar
um
you can make a branch so u can set the rules for when to register damage and when not
stark marsh
i really don't know how i'm going to get this to work
i want it to only attack once per swing
robust oar
@stark marsh post your blueprint in #blueprint
teal mulch
You could set a variable CanDamage to true when you start your attack, the once you hit the enemy, set it to false. Only allow damage when CanDamage is true.
robust oar
yeah
stark marsh
ok
i hope you can read it fine
so when i click a "swinging sword" variable is set true for as long as the sword swinging animation lasts for
once it's finished swinging is sort is then set to false
but i've used that same "swinging sword" bool to tell whether i'm attacking, so my game knows when to deal damage
robust oar
so your problem is when you run into other player collisions it applies damage to them?
oh
I think u can put a delay between each register damage
its not that flexible, but you can put a delay so that if u register damage when u hit the enemy with your sword, it wont register the damage when the sword swings back, a delay that depends on the animation
I guess that would work
@stark marsh
stark marsh
my games singleplayer but it will still work i think
so the problem is it registers hits by collision from my sword onto an enemy's collider, but if i attack and hit the collider multiple times whilst "is attacking" is still true it doeals damage multiple times
plush yew
how could i make a gun/inventory system like fortnite?
stark marsh
ok
robust oar
before you run the register damage event, add the node do N and
and put in the checkbox number 1
just for example
stark marsh
ok
robust oar
if it works tell me
stark marsh
ok so it's sort of working
it can only attack onece
which is good
but i've got to reset it now once is attacking is false
how would i reset it once is swinging sword is not true
it only does it once
and once only
i can't get it to reset so i have the chance to attack again next time i swing
robust oar
https://gyazo.com/5fa6f88b069b9577822c453286bac74e something like this maybe?
oh
sorry put is swinging to false
^^
frigid needle
You can either loop it back around once you set "IsSwinging" to false, or you can create a custom event called "EndSwing" or similar, that you call at the end of your system, and have that set "IsSwinging" to False, and then link into Do N's "Reset"
stark marsh
maybe to shorten my code i could put all the damage enemy code into a custom event
stark marsh
and just set the custom event to fire after do n
stark marsh
ok so this is damage enemy
and it will fire off if swinging weapon is true
but i need something for the object of "cast to weapon pick" and i don't know what
on the damage enemy script, i need an object for cast to weapon_pick
robust oar
capsule component like above
stark marsh
weapon pick does not inherit capsule component and will always fail
wait
i jst dragged other attack from above and it works
stark marsh
but now i just need to figure out how to reset once attacking is false
robust oar
you mean
stark marsh
swingingsword1 i mean
robust oar
reset once you press attack button?
stark marsh
no, reset once attacking has finished, so i can attack again
robust oar
yeah it should make sense,
if u rename your variable to isSwinging and set it to correct
stark marsh
no but like i need to know how to reset it please
robust oar
and make a branch so that if swinging is false you can reset your event
https://gyazo.com/f0a522f13821214a3e58c655d87ea88c just like this picture, without the mouse button
barren flume
Okay I know udk is very very old but I want to try some stuff on it and I'm creating a physics asset for my character and I'm trying to manually type in a value for the bodies but I can't change them and not sure what to do to let me manually change it
stark marsh
nah it's not properly
it still is only letting me attack once
it's not resetting after attacking has finished
robust oar
yeah thats because you are writing that code in the dummy character
and not the third person character
you must keep the damage and everything in the dummy character
stark marsh
it doesn't make sense
plush yew
yall know why my camera is clipping thru a wall when i crouch
robust oar
but the do N in the third person character
robust oar
it does. how are you going to reset your character attack from the dummy?
robust oar
you are doing stuff in reverse I guess
can you show me the code in third person character, because your problem is not in the dummy
stark marsh
robust oar
idk bruh
thats the first time I see the main attack code written inside the enemy
its in reverse xD
imagine if u want to create a second enemy, you would need to write another code there
stark marsh
but it makes sense though? because it's if a sword hits the enemy
maybe i should put it in sword
robust oar
yes
that is what should be done
all of your character logic should be written inside your character blueprint
@plush yew https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/370870/model-close-to-camera-is-clipping.html does this help?
plush yew
i tried that method 1 million times at least
robust oar
umm is your camera attached to a socket?
plush yew
iv a CameraBoom with "Do Collision Test" true and it still doesn't work
the CameraBoom is attached to head socket
plush yew
let's solve it together
UE has some serious bruh moments inside lmao
more like it generates bruh moments
actually
have any1 done Head IKing b4
i think we're gonna be able to fix it if that's present
robust oar
its an easy solution I guess
stark marsh
wait i'm following devsquads video
he has an episode that comes after the sword damage video where he fixes bugs
that might include the fix i want to do
plush yew
if you mean Virtus his tuts are pretty good for fixing insects
brisk pebble
would anyone happen to know what would cause the skin to detach itself from the skeleton when ive created a basic ik using control rig? the leg joints themselves are fine but the mesh has completely moved away from it. the ik leg functions correctly
robust oar
@plush yew I have an idea
stark marsh
finally i fixed it
stark marsh
it does a delay for the lenghth of the animation
robust oar
with timeline
stark marsh
and it prevents spamming too
so you can't just keep clicking to kill him
you actually have to wait a little
robust oar
yeah but it will not be that useful
a trigger to cast to third person character, as third person character u add a timeline and change the position of the camera
plush yew
i'd rather have invisible walls instead but that'd ruin the overall experience with physics interactions
nope not useful either
that's gonna make your camera clip through the character
i've tried that b4
plush yew
what idea?
robust oar
your camera has collision and as example when it hits a wall it tries to find the best solution to go away from that wall while focusing on the player at the same time
you get what I mean? alot of games implemented that already
plush yew
yeah kinda
robust oar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xry-d0bmh8U second 0:20
robust oar
how so
half wedge
new to unreal just testing some custom assets out anyone know how and why to fix this (i have ao off)
robust oar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDg1MAX0grE that will fix it, I saw the whole video but its not that flexible
it will 100% fix it
plush yew
terrible video
robust oar
lol :c
plush yew
i gave a 👎 already
basically
i wanna have advanced physics interactions
and camera blocking at the same time
so yeah not good
robust oar
is it essential that u have to use fpp?
robust oar
did u restart the engine?
plush yew
yes
robust oar
um
plush yew
i restarted the engine everytime i did that
robust oar
it works while standing right?
plush yew
yes
robust oar
yeppp
plush yew
crouching fucks it up
stark marsh
hello so basically it says when it does damage to an enemy on screen
plush yew
walking and running works fine
robust oar
then change the damn capsule size when crouching ._.
stark marsh
but in the actual full built game that won't show up, so i want to just replicate damage numbers showing in the top left
plush yew
i'm using the "crouch" feature which changes the capsule size while crouching ._.
robust oar
@stark marsh because u are printing strings, strings only work in the editor
@plush yew lol when u crouch the head goes outside the capsule
thats the main problem
plush yew
actually
if i increase the capsule size
the character prob won't be able to go inside small areas like vents i.e
or
wait
yeah
imma make a crawling feature instead
and make the capsule size go 200 tons fat when i crouch
robust oar
Imma go to lunch
plush yew
good day
stark marsh
so basically my code in my weapon says cast to dummy
but not all enemy's are going to be the dummy
i need lot's of differeant enemy's
so i will have to do some sort of actor has tag
oh nice
so now instead of "cast to dummy" it just does and actor has tag, so i can just call any enemy an "enemy" tag
sudden bridge
anybody have a good tutorial where I can learn how to replicate a door?
plush yew
Are the settings in "Project Settings" applied in the Editor Mode and in the final game (the packaging game) or is it into Editor Mode only ??
stark marsh
this is great now
i can only attack things if it has enemy tag
wait so how would i set the enemy's health to go down once it's got hit?
but i don't want to do it in the weapons script
i want it to happen in each enemy's scripts
as i don't want universal hp obvosiously
each enemy will have it's own hp
plush yew
plenty of youtube tutorials for that
@stark marsh
Anyone know why my variable cant be watched?
stark marsh
so this is my script
this is in the weapons blueprints
but i can't just say "set enemy health ..."
inside the weapons script since obviously that weapon is going to be used for more than just one enemy
maybe i can do something inside each enemy's script like if it has been hit by the sword take it's health away
plush yew
@stark marsh on the enemy you want to be damaged, set up a float variable called health, set its default to something like 100
stark marsh
yes i know that
stark marsh
but the thin is i need that health to go down each time they've been hit
how would i like the any damage to the sword script
stark marsh
my sword script
stark marsh
the actual sword has the scripts on it, since i'm making it an rpg game with lot's of differant weapons eventually
stark marsh
no i can't set damaged actor
plush yew
wdym
stark marsh
like at the end of my script
so at the beggining there's a begin overlap for the swords hitbox, and it can hit anything with an enemy tag
plush yew
yes?
stark marsh
i need to set who the damage is going to be applied to
but i don't know how to make it go to the enemy that overlapped the swords box collider
plush yew
stark marsh
ok i think this should work now
but i'm not sure if it would work with the tag system
stark marsh
so this is the damage in my dummy's script
and i just have this for when he get's hit by the weapon
sleek karma
hello
could someone help me please, i have a problem with setting a variable from another blueprint
stark marsh
maybe do cast to whatever

yes, cast to chestbp, chestbp is the blueprint where the variable hasKey is
plush yew
@stark marsh it works for me, go watch some tutorials on applying damage

right ok so it is taking some damage
but i jsut need to set it so when it takes too much damage it will die

it works
right now it's only text
but eventually i'll make it actually disapear and drops items or something

@sleek karma you need to get a reference to the chest actor in your level at runtime. One way to do it is by using the Line Trace By Channel. https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Physics/Tracing/HowTo/SingleLineTraceByChannel/index.html

I still understand modules in Niagara tho. that stuff is magic
I still dont understand i mean

@glacial basin Are you talking about the three part "Drag and drop" tutorial livestream they did?
Because I did watch that one, and it was severely out of date, and didn't include information such as "we no longer allow you to use the left mouse button to drag and drop buttons"

I dont think it covers drag and drop tho
@plush yew depends on whether anyone knows the stuff its related to
faint roost
@glacial basin Thank you for the project link. I'm on 4.25 so hopefully it will work. Do you remember offhand if those tutorial series actually explained what things like horizontal boxes, borders, size boxes, etc. etc. actually are and do? That's been a huge source of frustration for me, just how opaque all the naming conventions are and how unhelpful the official documentation seems to be
fluid lance
@faint roost UI in unreal is awfully underrepresented in tutorials and from my experience, many don't usually know much about it. Either way. Searching youtube on WTF is name of ue element you want to know about will bring you to Matthew Wadstein's page. He explains almost all elements of the engine one by one, with good, solid examples. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOVfF7PfLbRdVEm0hONTrNQ
glacial basin
@faint roost Yes it does explain some of them. It was a very useful tutorial series.
faint roost
Thank you guys, both. I will try again with both the UE tutorials and with Wadstein's page. I would pay (at this point) hundreds of dollars for a comprehensive and up to date course on this subject, because by now I'm starting to understand why so many devs go with middleware for their UI 😅

Youre welcome.

@lucid grove
Create a regular Blendspace rather than Blendspace 1D

Well ok, now i have two inputs - X and Z
Im using it for strafe animaiton. But still cant add additional input
unique timber
How can I get debug symbols for my packaged project?
fluid lance
@lucid grove You can't have multiple idle poses inside your blendspace.
You need to make multiple blendspaces and random them inside the abp
lucid grove
That was my last option
fluid lance
there was a stream about it, a question was asked, and Epic said it's not possible to change ASs inside a blendspace at runtime
lucid grove
The last one i thought was combine all idle animation with some external software

@lucid grove reference, look towards the end for the question:

I cant use montage inside anim bp right?
fluid lance
oh, inside the animbp?
lucid grove
blendspace ofc
lucid grove
I mean i cant combine 3 animations inside anim montage and save it as ordinary animation (and use it inside blendspace)
fluid lance
@lucid grove that you can!
lucid grove
yeah?
fluid lance
the blendspace accepts AnimSeqs
if you cook an anim from the montage, then you can use it like any regular AS
lucid grove
If i understand right - i need to combine few animation inside montage and then export it to fbx. For some reason its grayed.
it seems like it only active inside animation, but not montage

you just do a on collsion event
cast to your plaeyer
then increment int for player health
but if you want a upgrade system
somthing like a coin vaule
you walk on something you get a coin then just a button event check for the coin ammount for it to run get all actors of class then add players health by one etc

I've reached a point in my project where I need to rethink how I'm planning it out. I'm using trello but I can't really seem to find a good workflow on how to organize my to-do list. I currently just have a to-do and doing list that is unorganized. And as for my general game plan, I don't really have anything written down for everything that's going to be in the game, it's just currently sitting in my head. Are there any good sources that can help me find a good method of managing tasks that need to be done and how to write a game plan?
stray briar
honestly i would say its more about breaking your project down. literally make a list of how to work towards your first game mechanic or something. Ive done that, and i could use trello, but I just have a physical bulletpointed notepad and tick each thing off one by one
it makes you think more about how you will go about making specific things too

Can You export to html5 in 4.25? I see the docs on it but I have no options for it in the editor or launcher
@hollow ridge i think you have to build the engine from source or something like that
hollow ridge
ah that sucks

actually idk
silent walrus
can somebody help me with this problem i ran into
hollow ridge
@silent walrus whats the problem?
silent walrus
so im following this guide for items and inventory, i have the same blueprints as him but mine just doesnt work
its picking up the items but its not adding them to my inventory
sudden bridge
hey guys I want to play an animation but be running code at the same time, but my blueprint waits for the animation to end before starting the rest of the code, how can I fix this?
hollow ridge
oh @rocky radish also it isnt that here is what it says in the docs
HTML5 SDK Setup
The Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) HTML5 implementation utilizes the Emscripten toolchain from Mozilla to cross-compile UE4's C++ code into Javascript. When you download UE4 from either the Epic Games Launcher or from Epic's Github repository all of the needed Emscripten and Python files for HTML5 development will be included. This means that you can start creating HTML5 projects without having to perform any additional setup steps or install any additional software.

hi guys, i have a setup so these green boxes have their own location info, to display on hud, the problem im having is, if the player spawns in 1 of the boxes, it doesnt "activate" to show on the hud. How could I bypass it
silent walrus
could you point me to a better one @hollow ridge
hollow ridge
idk Ive never made an inventory system I can look tho

@bitter iris by the looks of it you could check which one he's in using simple vector math
instead of im guessing collisions?
silent walrus
@hollow ridge did you find anything?
hollow ridge
nah
silent walrus
so should i keep following this one?
cuz im really new and dont think i can do it without a guide

maybe I would think you just have an array and add the item you need to it
silent walrus
like this?

I'm playing around with the UMG [scroll box ] item. It seems to squish my children into thin lines (it does not stretch them vertically to match the height of my [scroll box] height.

@alpine laurel Unity probably signed a deal with google or something and if you're searching general game dev things or UE4, they'll try to attract you to their product. So less stupid on google and more of a ploy to get you to use Unity.

Where can I find [z-order] in the UMG* editor? I can't seem to find it on [image ] components. (I am also having very inconsistent draw order behavior judging from the order of my objects in the hierarchy.

You can do that too
but they still take a cut of any money you make off your game

@deep viper have you tried searching the panel, iirc there's a search bar at the top of the details window for UMG
in the middle of code iteration so can't open editor
deep viper
I just learned that z-order seems to be a "Canvas Slot" property, so only available to immediate children of a [canvas]. I'll try juggling the children of the [vertical bar] and [scroll box] for now, since the draw order is a total mess atm.

In which order to UMG objects in the hierarchy render? (Boy this information is not easy to find with google) Turns out the lower umg objects have priority.

is it normal that my packaging action announces 2700 shaders to compile when I only have a dozen very basic materials ?

yes as other items might be packaging that you did not count on, like engine stuff. and every material has different variations which is why so many shaders

Hello guys. Does viewport screen percentage affect screenshot quality?
grim ore
a single float would be a scalar or constant 1 in the material
deep viper
Thanks.
upper oasis
New to Unreal engine. 200% screen percentage seems to make my screenshots blurry compared to 50% or 100%.
I tried to look into youtube but theres not enough explanation. Any inputs would be appreciated. Thanks.
grim ore
how are you taking the screenshot?
upper oasis
@grim ore I am interested in archviz that is why I am also trying to make use of the screenshot feature. I took screenshots of two 5X multiplier. One 100% & the other one 200%. I am taking a shot w/ a depth of field blur. the 200% seems to look blurry all around.
is it allowed to post image links here?
grim ore
it is, but how are you taking it? the high res screenshot option in the viewport or the console command or ?
upper oasis
I have heard of the command version. Does the viewport screen percentage not affect the render/screenshot result? I am still about to study the command version.
restive rivet
I'm about to set up a new computer so I need to transfer my in-progress Project over. How do I gather up all the files so I can upload them somewhere?
grim ore
based on it only working at runtime (screen percentage cvar) I would asssume high res screenshot doesnt play nice with it
@restive rivet Your project should be self contained so if you move the entire folder it should work on a new machine
upper oasis
@restive rivet You can probably look it up in the epic game launcher library. Open file in folder.
restive rivet
I see it all there, but it shows the project file size as 1KB, so I wasn't sure if that was actually accurate
grim ore
the .uproject file or the entire folder?
upper oasis
@grim ore Is the code version a standard workflow?
restive rivet
The project file.
grim ore
the folder is what you want, the entire folder where your project is at
@upper oasis the high res screenshot should accomplish what you want, I dont see a need for trying to get it at 200% scale. Thats basically the same as rendering it at 2x resolution internally then scaling it down to 1x to fit the screen. If you use 2x high res and then scale it down to 1x its the same effect.
screen percentage scaling is intended to be a performance at runtime feature
upper oasis
@grim ore Thanks for the input man. Appreciate it.
grim ore
@restive rivet you want the project folder, compress it or move it, not just the .uproject file.
so in my case I would move the tpp folder and it would contain my entire project
restive rivet
@grim ore Got it, thanks!

@feral sierra What type of environment are you asking about? For materials, using the world position or noise is pretty good, there is also a custom function you can use for generation of random materials. For environments, how random are we talking? If were talking about placing pre-built scenes together, there are a couple of marketplace plugins for that. There are various formulas that would be better than noise, as formulas can be more controlled, so to speak.

hey @lusty crater what's you trying to achieve exactly?

Afternoon folks - I'm wondering if anyone has any technical solutions to my navigation mesh problems - our level designers want to be able to have multiple potential layouts in some of our streaming gameplay levels (a perfectly reasonable request given our gameplay and I want to support it).
...problem is, I'm having a lot of difficulty with it and can't find a reliable mechanism to do it. I don't seem to be able to save the individual navigation data for each streaming level into that streaming level, because any hidden level when building paths gets invalidated, and if they're all visible neighbouring or overlapping nav bounds volumes will conflict. It also does not seem to be possible to have multiple separate nav meshes any more.
Anyone have any reasonable ideas on how to solve this kind of thing?
inner mountain
@lusty crater I've learned basics from the course on Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/course/unrealcourse/
Though there are a lot of different courses and tutorials, including the ones on the https://learn.unrealengine.com

help with armour please
i need it to move with my mesh
help i have a man in my game
but then when i add armour in and parent it to the mans bone sockets the size of the armour goes massive
wait does armour need to be skeletal mesh?
that might be why i'm going wrong
i was adding armour in as a static mesh and not skeletal
grim flower
might be a relative/absolute scale issue. make sure your character is at scale 1,1,1 and then add the mesh to the character. once you link it to the skeletal mesh you can search for the specific socket to attach the mesh to
both skeletal and static mesh should work fine
ornate forge
If you want your armor to deform with your character's movement, it'll have to be a skeletal mesh
stark marsh
i'm redoing my character now
with his mesh and skeleton at 1,1,1 scale rotation and location
i will probably remake my character again eventually anyway
when i get further into my game
once all the main mechanics are in then i'll do stuff like replacing character to something i'll keep and not just a placeholder
honest vale
I have animated zero things in my life, but I believe you also need to rig the armor to the skeleton of your character?
stark marsh
like give it the exact same skeleton ok
but when i go to create armour pieces in blender, how would i make it so it shares the skeletal mesh
like would i just open up my character fbx with the skeleton file and just add some armour, then export it along with the skeleton
stark marsh
i want something that looks like actual armour
but yeah
i need to find out how to make the armour use the same skeleton as the humans body
grim flower
yeah.. like @ornate forge said, you would need to have it as skeletal mesh then. Skin the armor in your 3D software on the same skeleton the character is using
stark marsh
ok i'm just rigging my character again now
ok so i've fully re - rigged my character
and i have a piece of armour
but how would i get that that move with my character
how would i get it to share the skeleton
and how would i export it in blender to do that, because otherwise it would just be a standard static mesh, with nothing special about it
ornate forge
Rig the piece of armor to the same skeleton that your character is rigged to
Then export like usual
stark marsh
so in blender right now i have my man, his skeleton and a chestplate on him
(chestplate is seperate object)
ornate forge
Is the chestplate rigged?
stark marsh
wait no
i don't want it permenant though
can i still equip and unequip it when i want
ornate forge
Yes
stark marsh
ok so press like join with automatic weights then
ornate forge
You need to rig it and export it without the man
stark marsh
ok
i don't have to delete the man
i can just select what i want to export
ok so i rigged the chestpiece to his skeleton and it changed size
ornate forge
Maybe you need to check the vertex weights
stark marsh
i dont know what tha is
ornate forge
Then it's time to learn that
stark marsh
yeah
i'll just watch some tutorials
on rigging armour in blender
i'm getting their
but it works as it it's clothes
and not actual armour
like it shouldn't be able to move so freely and so much
but i'll get their eventually
i'll have to just use that thing as a shirt rather than a chestplate for now

@shut glen if you delete the event that was created when you overrode that should fix it
regarding my issue, it's just weird because it finds some of them.
mint thunder
why is simple tesselation only stretching mesh in 1 direction?
halcyon flame
@shut glen locate the event.
halcyon flame
if you overrode a function called Jump in a new class, it should either be an event called Jump or a function called Jump.
halcyon flame
that is where the new function or event will be.
stark marsh
i feel i can't really get started with my game until a character that i like with some good aniamtions
shut glen
i made one
halcyon flame
@ fat monke that is a trap
stark marsh
?
halcyon flame
if you overrode jump, a new event or function has been created. find it and delete it.
halcyon flame
@stark marsh you should focus on making a fun and functional prototype before you pour dozens of workdays into a finalized character model and animations.
stark marsh
so just use a very basic character to start off with?
and then make a better one i want to keep later
halcyon flame
@shut glen that is a call to the function, not the event or function itself. find the original (either in the event graph or in the functions section in my blueprint window) and delete it.
only do this to the overridden function
@stark marsh yes, depending on what you want, you could use a capsule, or if it's a first or third person game, you could use the starter assets.
shut glen
its here
halcyon flame
yes, I would use the UE4 mannequin in that case
stark marsh
and i'm getting actualyl quiet good at blender now
stark marsh
so in a few weeks like a month or something once i'm way more comfortable in blender i'll see if i can create my own character that i like
shut glen
@halcyon flame do i delete this?
halcyon flame
@shut glen I don't know, I haven't worked with the character and the class that you're working with. if that is an overridden function to which you've added little to no functionality, you can delete it. click on it to see how involved it is. if there's nothing, you can delete it.
shut glen
@halcyon flame there is only this
shut glen
yes
stark marsh
or downlaod one if there's a free one for now
halcyon flame
@shut glen delete it then. if you have other functionality you wanted to add, you'd right click on the CanJump node and 'Add Call to Parent Function' and then put the parent functionality wherever you wanted in the execution flow.

Two bugs:

if this is static lighting, the black borders are due to the way lightmass works. https://polycount.com/discussion/191781/realistic-lighting-cant-avoid-black-edges-at-wall-intersections you need to adjust your meshes, adjust some light settings, or not use baked lighting. As for the blue tint, do you have a blue light anywhere?

@plush yew yeah that is where you can change the settings for plugins that are installed I see FMOD
So that means your plugin is turned on

It might have others that it needs or the version could be out of date with the version of the engine you are using
