What object do i choose for the widget ?
restive eagle
get hud or smth similar
but that wont help you because you are not using it anyways
as it is now your cast to hud wont do anything
plush yew
so what iam trying to achieve is when i press the key it changes the image in the hud
grim ore
where do you create the hud? store a reference to it and use that reference to talk to the hud later.
restive eagle
so you need to change it inside hud, now you are changing it inside your character/pc
grim ore
its basic communication in UE4
plush yew
trying that
restive eagle
to make changes in hud you need to use the reference from "as hud"
as Mr. Mathew said its basic communication, i recommend you watching this first before you continue https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EM_HYqQdToE

Can anyone tell me why the shadow of the plane is being cast on the grass and not just the grass' shadow?
I tried googling this but i'm not exactly sure how to word the question
robust spoke
Hiho is this the coreect way to allow all character classes to use the BP?
plush yew
can someone make free vps
digital anchor
that cast will always pass so its not needed
robust spoke
that cast will always pass so its not needed
@digital anchor What do you mean?
I dont need the Cast to Character class?
plush yew
can someone make me free vps
plush yew
how
restive eagle
robust spoke
at first what is vps? ^^
digital anchor
theres no reason to cast if youre not even using the cast output, unless you using a cast as a check, which will always pass anyway so its useless
robust spoke
ah do you mean the connection between as char and tagrt? i try to figure out the way to connect ^^
i havnt worked with a violet cast so i have to find a way to connect violet with blue xD
restive eagle
your are casting to a class
digital anchor
you dont, purple is a class type
restive eagle
get player character - cast to "character" (your main character bp, the way you named it)
if you are using a template it will either be cast to third person character or first person
robust spoke
ah ok. I try to build one BP with the Movement, Health and Mana reg to use one BP for all variable characters. The effects should be working on every char
so i have to say my character class is XY give me Health and mana reg
in this example its the movement ^^
digital anchor
then you either have a parent class, which defines those properties, then you can cast to the parent to read the Regen etc. and it will work with every child class
or a component, whatever you prefer
restive eagle
since you are new you are trying to make a jump before you can even walk, try making first a basic version so it just works
the things that are being said here will probably just sound confusing
robust spoke
it is working for 1 character
restive eagle
if you want to do the same thing for all actors then use "get all actors of class" and from there "for each loop"
robust spoke
the original there ist only a cast to ThridPlayer Blueprint and it is working
restive eagle
but your all actors must share the same parent class
digital anchor
which in this case, is character, which is already what GetPlayerCharacter returns, so no cast at all is needed
robust spoke
ah ok thanks the parent class i dont konw, by programming im open a class put all actors in and can use the class ^^

no problem ๐ sometimes hard to work out what to google! But yeah, the top answer on there uses the actor location which is a decent hacky solution but obviously falls a bit short for larger actors @jaunty haven

I see no reason to do something like that. It just makes things way harder
You could use free voxel plugin. Its very popular.
It can do great lowpoly and highpoly terrain. Its like building with blocks that are connected. Marching cubes.

Hi! (noob here)
I have this actor (cube) spawned every X seconds and follow the 1st person character.

How do I prevent then from overlapping each other?
And can I tell them to stay at a certain distance from each other?

need some advice. i have a huge project with probably way too many blueprints and when i try to edit one of them it takes a long time to scan all blueprint classes. is there something i can do about it? (other than the obvious solution)
dense knoll
ok im getting annoyed with this, i litrally cant use anything in the engine, its unusable,
grim ore
@sharp flax how do you tell them to follow the player? perhaps tell the next one spawned to follow the last one spawned and if it doesnt exist to follow the player? otherwise you use things like line traces or overlapping shapes to tell if its too close and to not do the move
@dense knoll if its a launcher build and that is the case, have you tried a new blank project?
grim ore
then you should look at your hardware or windows at this point
dense knoll
any dropdown UI is just killing the engine
grim ore
do you have any overlay software running? like geforce experience or msi afterburner or shadowplay or
sharp flax
@grim ore I'll look into that. Thanks!

welp its an isolated issue to your machine so I would start debugging your machine

for an example if i import something the notification that apears would crash

debugging your machine. Make sure its up to date, make sure drivers are good, run stress tests, etc.

proper quiver
Any advice for importing marketplace assets into a subfolder of Content/? For example I want all of my marketplace assets in Content/Marketplace. Moving the folder in editor is very slow, and sometimes crashes. Moving it in Windows causes file linkages to break. How does one normally do this?
dense gate
Well, apart from doing it in the editor, I don't think there is a normal way
It may crash since it tries loading the assets and those might require a shader compile and that generally causes the crash
proper quiver
hm, so this is a common problem? are there known workarounds?
dense gate
None that I know of
I at least load a part of the assets so it doesn't overwhelm with compiling
Also, an SSD

I figured it was easier to just let them be there, and put all my own game assets into Content/MyGameProject :P

Hey @grim ore I have a question, but I'm not on the computer rn so it's kinda pointless. I have a simple ai script as shown above a little bit. For some reason it's not working, I looked at your wtf ai move to tutorial but still don't know what's going on
grim ore
your true is getting the controlled pawn -> doing stuff with it. Your false is NOT getting the controlled pawn and trying to do stuff with it.
besides that there is alot of optimizing you could do, if you already have a boolean you are checking why not put that boolean into the set visibility nodes directly
@limber mesa I really have not used the AI perception stuff so I dont know what I could suggest. There is a good course on learn.unrealengine.com that covers that stuff tho. Besides that I would check the movement result to see what the error is and make sure the destination on the nav point is good
median hound
thx @grim ore didnt know i had to make another cast to the enemy on false thought i can just take
the stuff from the cast from true
grim ore
@median hound the white wires are the execution when it is ran. If you run the false it never does the get -> cast part. always follow the wires
@limber mesa im not saying anything is better than perception, I just have not used it much. I know it's strong I just have not spent much time with AI. I did that learn course and it works well so it might just be a small thing

I was using version 4.25.3
So I got an error when launching UE4 randomly. I had opened the project 3 times with no issues yesterday then when coming back to it an hour after the last close I would get the error "animationsharing plugin missing significanceManager dependency". I tried about 3 or 4 times to open it, no luck ๐ฆ . So I tried to open up a different project to see if maybe my project got corrupted. Yet I recieved the same thing.
After googling around it looks like it is plugin that comes with UE4 but I couldnt find a fix for the error. So I decide to uninstall and reinstall UE4. However when reinstalling it I am now getting my operations graph showing red and sitting at 32%. I did some more research and supposedly the red on the operations graph means Files are missing
- Can anyone confirm that this is what the red graph means?
- Does anyone know how to fix it if that is the issue?
- Out of curiosity does anyone know the fix for "animationsharing plugin missing significanceManager dependency" or how it is caused?

restive eagle
i dont think they ever go back to previous version when new is being worked on
no point, the fixes you want will likely happen in newer version
tulip helm
I'm maintaining a publicly available fork that has toon shader models. Building from source isn't something everone wants to. Building binaries takes a long time.
Would be nice to know when I should build them.
@restive eagle Hey thanks. So I guess once 4.26.0 hits release, then no more updates to 4.25, yeah?
restive eagle
not only release but previews as well
tulip helm
? 4.25.4 got released during 4.26 preview 4, I think.
tulip helm
ah, I see. interesting. kk. that makes sense. so it's never definitive, but the chances are usually kinda good that there'll be no updates to a previous main engine version once the next hits preview.
restive eagle
if you really want to get some fixes from newer version(but dont want to update your project) you can always edit the engine source yourself, but that requires some prior experience
tulip helm
Ah, I build from source, and merge in new hotfixes to it as they come. Some people who use the fork I'm updating don't want to get into the source building biz, so I thought I'd save them the trouble and build the binaries for them. To build binary versions of an engine, I have to build the Autobuildtool (~2h) and the AutobuildToolLauncher(~2h), before building binaries - which takes about 4h, so it basically takes twice as long to build binaries.
restive eagle
there is a plugin for visual studio that helps a bit with build times
but its rather expensive
trying to remember how its called
tulip helm
it's cool thx. I know what you're talking about. I'm doing this for free, at no cost to anyone. I don't have that kinda money to spend, but I was just looking for an easy way to avoid rebuilding everything, i.e., by knowing if it's the last hotfix.
restive eagle
im still on 4.25.3 myself. didnt even notice that there was an update ๐
but not going to update since have 0 problems with it
but yeah as you said the latest hotfix came out during 4.26 preview so they do update during this period but that might be only on rare occasions
personally havent seen this happening when a full release comes out, it would only make sense then to only focus on the latest version

any tips for me to get good at blueprinting?
I understand it and know how it works and stuff
I am able to modify the templates and add on to it even more
but creating something completely from scratch is what I struggle in
I just dont know where to start
plush yew
- Dont watch full tutorials how to do things
novel rover
I dont
and if I do
I try to understand them
I notice that this is also the case with me and other programming languages
plush yew
Just do different projects and start doing, when you dont know something, google it and that way in few months you will be very good. Atleast it worked for me
And dont search how to do teleportation for example. Search how to set world location for something instead.

My object has an emissive material. But the glow fades very quickly, because the more distance I am away from it it gets less screen space.
Does anyone knwo how to fix that?
I found this post:
https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/329524/materials-fading-away-in-distance-why-is-this-happ.html?lang=ko
Here the user "cancel" desccribes a method to make the screen space an object takes bigger, does anyone know how to achieve that?

I'm having a strange problem. I have set up my FPS character and it was working fine but then I updated the animations for walk and sprint but not jump but now, for reason, when I jump the character gets stuck into jump end animation and doesn't transition to idle animation even though everything is set up correctly.
Has anyone had this issue before?
plush yew
Lol nobody seems to be helping anybody here
Where are everybody
@plain pagoda everything hasnt been set up correctly if you are having glitches.
You did something wrong
and we truly cant help if you dont even show us how animations are handled.
plush yew
can you show me how it handles jump ending
plain pagoda
it's a very strange bug
even though jump end animation is not set to loop, it still keeps looping
plush yew
Maybe this will help?
anyone know how i can make my unlit materials not glow?
@plush yew unlit materials always glow.
plain pagoda
Maybe this will help?
@plush yew it says I have to deselect loop animation option which I already have.
but it still keeps looping for some reason
so it's a bug right?
plush yew
I dont think so. That simple bug would have been fixed times ago
Theres now something somewhere causing it and i cant help more than this.
But for sure it isnt bug
plain pagoda
ah crap
idk what to do anymore
it was working fine yesterday
then all of a sudden it happened

i know that feeling
@plush yew restarted the editor, it's working fine now. Back to the old problem
the jump end animation doesn't loop, it just doesn't transition to idle pose
dense knoll
this accours whenever engine UI apears
it also happens randomly
i have tried everything but still wont work

there is nothing in the logs, i don't even know where i can start to look
plush yew
is there a way to make my textures look unlit without them becoming much lighter?
@plush yew
I already said that it is not possible
Full point of unlit materials is that they are not affected by any kind of light
but why would my black texture become almost white just by putting it to emissive?
im trying to achieve this n64 look
send me your material
image of it
unlit
and default lit
show me blueprint of it
i cant help if i cant see what it is made of
unlit version
just RGB to emissive instead of base
well you can just make it darker
multiply material
sounds good thanks
@plush yew do you know how i could create seamless texture coordinate noise?
it has that seam
well just getting that seam out of it
texture coordinate causes it
grim ore
@median hound no, actors and components have a tag property
grim ore
@plush yew are you sure that is not the mesh edge?
plush yew
Is there way to mix like two of these smoothly so that it disappears or something like that
It is mesh edge ye
ye it is
Editor sphere
grim ore
if its a mesh edge its a mesh edge, you hide it better basically
plush yew
Well what would be way to get rid of that
@plush yew i guess you could re unwrap it with new edges in blender or whatever youre using
grim ore
your material needs to be tileable so the seam does not show up, or you rotate the mesh so the seam is not visible, or you hide it with doodads
grim ore
stuff, like if this was a wall you would hide it with a pillar
plush yew
Well this is planet so i cant put pillars
doing some changes in material seems to be only option here but i dont know what to do
plush yew
Could i use world aligned texture somehow with this? @grim ore
or does it only work with textures and not with procedural noise etc.
rotund scroll
my dude he just told you where to ask
plush yew
I did ask there also
grim ore
you might not be able to simply fix this in the material, your making random noise and then applying it to a square then wrapping it around the sphere. There are edges it's the way it works
if your texture was 100% tileable this would not be an issue, perhaps look into use a noise texture that is tileable
but even then in motion there is a chance its going to not wrap well

vocal flume
I have a blueprint. It has a variable that is being set in construction script. For the sake of not crossing wires I get it multiple times. Close to 40 times within the same BP. Will there be a performance hit? Itโs just a single vector.
If this is bad practice, what is the recommended approach?
grim ore
each wire to a pure node acts as a unique get
so if its one "variable node" with 10 wires out of it or 10 "variable nodes" with 10 wires you are fine
dense knoll
anyone know how to fix the engine crashing
grim ore
if its an execute node, then yes it would be 10 calls and less performance (execute nodes will cache he return result for that execution
yes you need to fix the problem causing it to crash @dense knoll
look thru the discord, and the internet. if no one else is having your issue its on your side not the engines side

Has anyone here developed their own inventory system?
regal mulch
Probably, multiple times, why
versed spear
My inventory is a component with 4 arrays. Each array is a separate inventory. Do you think that is enough to make actors like crafting bench or quest windows that show turn in items and reward items you will get. Just thinking of different ways I can use these 4 inventories to expand content.
right now I have inventory - equipment - storage - hotbar
but these inventories can be used for different things based on the actor the component is attached to. That would be the example for a player
versed spear
For storage maybe have misc items tab is one inventory euip items, usable items, then the 4th would be just the full list of the inventory?
Seems like that limited me to just 3 categories. The reason I do not want to load those categories from one inventory is that I would have to swap index on that array and it is much easier for me to handle array to array.
I think I should be able to use one array for the storage. That is what I was mainly worried about. Being limited to only 4 categories. But could do it with 1 array by adding temp arrays to hold the category from the main full inventery array

does anyone have a solution for deleting content from the content browser so that it doesn't take 5 minutes?
deleting one sound mix that isn't used in a lot of places has completely killed the editor
grim ore
it's the "isnt used in a lot of places" part that is the issue. It has to search thru the project to find dependencies.
not much you can do about it for now
harsh tiger
that sucks, hopefully someone creates some magic to improve the time it takes in the future
grim ore
Im hoping the new one file per actor stuff might help in the future but unless we get some better like high level caching or linking feature or they implement a "fuck it" option I don't expect it to get much better since they want it to be safe

I have an AI character that moves around randomly but I have 1 problem. When the AI stops, it looks really un natural because the animation goes from it's current walking state to the idle state
so is there a way that I could have the AI stop when the walking animation completes its cycle?
hot canopy
@true sail How are you blending between states? How much blend time are allowing between states?
true sail
I'm blending between states with the actor's speed
plush yew
ah so the ai just immediatly stops then?
true sail
Yes
But I don't want it to stop and the animation plays until it's done
I want it to keep moving until the animation is done
Idk how I'd do that tho
hot canopy
Can you show us your state machine in the animation blueprint? @true sail
hot canopy
@true sail Are you sure you are getting the right actor to get the velocity? Should you use Try Get Pawn Owner?
And the casting to the right character class?
hot canopy
@true sail Are the minimum and maximum values of the blend space correct?
true sail
I'm sorry but what does that have to do with my problem?
hot canopy
@true sail Could be why the transition is not smooth, but I really not sure.
true sail
But It's not a problem with the animation
It's a problem with the Character's movement
hot canopy
@true sail You want to stop moving when the animation is done?
hot canopy
The way it is setup doesn't do what you want. Maybe add an event when the animation is complete and use that to set an variable in your character. Use that to drive the AI.
true sail

this may not be the best way but add a event on when a key is pressed it will remove the image, this only works for widgets, just add a remove all widgets node and at the same time after that remove all widgets node add all the hud elements back

@grim ore i mean the image can be skip like i put the control of my game and the people who play it already know he want to skip it any idea how ?
grim ore
is this a video or a sequence animation or just an image? like was mentioned before you can just listen for the "any key" event and when that show up close that/stop that item.
then yes set up an input event listener in the widget and listen for an any key event and when it is pressed close the widget
grim ore
I just said how
the exact node you want to use is "Listen for Input Action" in a widget and it can listen for input actions
or in the blueprint where you add the widget to your viewport you can listen for input normally and close it when its pressed

if it says aborted more than likely it cant get to the target, hence when that happens pause it and check the results and the nav mesh

So how do I go about creating a lit unlit material? As in I want it to be affected by the light intensity, but be shaded flat
I want this
But make it so that it's affected by the level's lighting, and not end up in a situation like this
How could i add one image to material?
and choose its location
@plush yew lit unlit material doesnt exist dude. Point of unlit material is that its glowing
Whats your goal?
what are you trying to do
Essentially, I want to make it so that the character's affected by lighting, but also be featureless
Do you want to create cel shading?
Like flat lighting?
Sort of
So I switch to Lit, I get this
But I want it to be featureless like in the previous shots
Do you want lighting like this
in character
More TF2 than link, but yeah, I suppose that's a start
Then you need to create post process to change how lighting works
Making materials like that would be so performance costly that no point
I see
I cant help with creating post process like that, but there are some good tutorials and free plugins.
Yeah, that's still a better starting point than not knowing where to look
Thanks!

wind node only works with speedtree iirc
you can use vertex paint to mask what parts have more or less wind, and use WPO in the shader to control the movement
then a bit of math to figure out the movement

I am not sure what channel to put this question.
I want to verify that Shape Keys and Cloth Simulation are mutually exclusive without C++ code?
I have a character with a dress and a 'Weight' shape key. The dress doesn't scale with the shape key, and either floats away from the character, or clips in the character. I have done a search on the problem, and it seems like the ability to shape key cloth simulation may have been turned off in UE4 a long time ago. My only other option at this time is to put bones in the dress, but this would set my skeleton over the 64 bone limit of the Quest.

I'm making a day night cycle and when i rotate the directional light when it gets to be directly upside down it stops rotating for a random amount of time before it starts rotating again or it will just never rotate again why is this
zinc shore
it still happens when i do that but only when its rotating slowly it gets to 90 on the Y and just stops accepting any rotation changes but if its rotating faster it docent
it seems the numbers become flipped when it hits 90 it then starts counting back down from 90 instead of counting up but its still rotating in the correct direction
