Hey i have a question about exporting collision from blender, i cant seem to get this to work, i duplicated my mesh, put the name UCX_ on the duplication, parented the duplication and exported but i keep getting the default box around the mesh collision, any ideas?

Sorry, not a 3D modeler, just giving level design ideas
scarlet birch
I've never parented it to the mesh like that. Not sure if that could cause an issue or not.
wintry silo
how do we fix a bad reference in a parent BP ?
scarlet birch
I usually have the collision and mesh have same parent, select both and export. If you're using the pipeline script it doesn't work with UCX, unless it's been fixed since I last used it.
grim fog
I read a solution to parent the meshes thats why i parented them, both ways werent working for me
Idk of this helps but i would also get this in UE4 when i place the player inside a free area in the mesh
Ill come back to and update when i get the chance to try again, its more than likely user error but im not were, thanks everyone!

I was looking to see if someone could help me on my 2D game ?
I am trying to it so I can fight a AI, but when my character hits the enemy he swings the sword over and over non stop
I am really un sure and what to do 😦
grim ore
why does he swing it over and over? what causes him to swing it
plush yew
when you ( the player) presses LMB he is supposed to attack but when I make contact with the AI it constantly attacks non stop
I'm a beginner so I really have no clue what to do 😦
shell surge
guys, can anyone help me with distance field ao/shadows. Im stuck
wintry silo
The Reference Dwig from CH_human BP is not passing over into the Dialog Actor BP.
grim ore
so when you press LMB he starts to attack, what makes him stop attacking?
wintry silo
so I'm getting none access errors from Dialog Actor BP. because for some unknown reason CH_Human is blocking DWIG from accessing Dialog Actor BP.
plush yew
When you press LMB my character swings 1 time and you press LMB he swings again so on so fourth, but when 1 of the swings hits the AI he swings constantly non stop
grim ore
and when you debug it what does it show is he value for when you are trying to access it? @wintry silo
@plush yew show your code for your swinging
wintry silo
i don't have debug installed, only been using print screen.
grim ore
you always have debug installed

hey are you that dude from youtube?

wintry silo
All I know is I created the widget in CH_Human and set the Dwig reference there and trying to access Dwig from CH_human from the Dialog Actor BP but for some reason it can;'t access CH_Human BP even though Char Ref is a CH_human Reference whichis linked to Dwig..............
grim ore
your going to have to walk thru your code step by step and see where it breaks. go to the node that doesnt work and set a breakpoint on it. see what the reference is (should be null since its giving that error), then walk backwards and see why its not correct
unless you show us exactly all of your code and the flow and how it's all set up there is no way we can guess where the code is broken
grim ore
so set a breakpoint and walk backwards
plush yew
My code is to big to fit all in one picture
wintry silo
what makes this tricky is the widget is being created in another BP and not in the dialog actor BP. So when you step into the dialog trigger it just unhides it.
grim ore
is char ref valid?
wintry silo
yes. But Dwig is not valid.
grim ore
are you sure char ref is valid?
wintry silo
char ref is set ti instance editable.
in dialog actor bp
and the ref is pointing to CH_Human
grim ore
yep, still doesnt mean you verified its valid. you need to breakpoint and debug
wintry silo
i don't know how to use that breakpoint stuff. I only know print string.
steel bridge
Hello, I'm new to UE4, a noob and I need a little help with this little concept that I made. as you can see there's a sphere which represents a bulb, and there's an orange button on the floor which is the switch to turn the bulb on/off when I step on it. I want to make this work using Boolean variable. Now the switch animation works (which is the timeline) but the I don't know how to trigger the bulb when I step on the switch.
wintry silo
Mattthew, Is Valid dosen't fix it if its invalid, it just halts the code to stop it from executing on the branch.
that's what is valid does if the variable or reference is bad. then the code does nothing it just hides the error.
grim ore
shrug you can try debugging and track down the issue or you can keep asking for help, it's up to you now
@plush yew so when you attack your flipbook turns to the attack flipook but what stops it and turns it back to normal?
wintry silo
well the dwig reference is bad. Putting a breakpoint on it does nothing but just halts the game to point out where the breakpoint is.
regal mulch
So you have a Pointer Variable that is InstanceEditable and you assigned a Character that is placed in your level to that variable, on the instance that is also placed in the level?
grim ore
@steel bridge when you stop on the switch you would probably have a collision box above it and use that boxes overlap event. When that overlap event fires you would play the timeline for animation you want. You could then use the on overlap end to fire off the other animation
wintry silo
so the reference is bad, Invalid, But I don't know where that starts in the code except for CH_Human where I set the reference to create the widget............
abstract prism
would love it if i could switch the animation without having to re add the logic every time
grim ore
@steel bridge I just saw the second screenshot lol, that looks like the right idea
plush yew
Yeah, I am not sure at all
I'm new and really have no clue what half the stuff means xD
grim ore
@steel bridge ugh sorry brain not function, question was clear but not to me. So the light is separate from the switch?
wintry silo
strange, i set the breakpoint on the set dwig variable in create widget and it dosen't even halt the game to take me to the breakpoint that time.
steel bridge
@grim ore First, thank you for responding! And yes! That's exactly what I did, but I just don't know what to to get the lights triggered when I step on the button.
grim ore
@steel bridge it looks like you have a instance editable variable for the bulb already set up in the switch, is this set up to the bulb in the level?
steel bridge
yes the light is seperate, it's just an emissive material not a real light attached to the sphere
yes i think so, is this what you mean?
plush yew
YES!!!! I did it 🙂 I fixed my problem
grim ore
yes it looks like you have it 99% of the way. You are communicating and setting the variable but you dont have anything acting on that change. Make a custom event in the light bulb, call it something like SetLight and have it take in a boolean as an input.
plush yew
OMG I'm so happy lol
grim ore
then you can call the custom event and pass in the boolean to turn it on or off, and the set light custom event in the light bulb will then do whatever
wintry silo
we got a problem in CH_Human The Breakpoints are not working on all the code.
steel bridge
umm.. I'm really new to this, just started yesterday, give me a second
grim ore
start with making a custom event in the light bulb and call it what you want. (right click -> add custom event), then in the details panel give it an input of boolean type and maybe call it IsOn or someting similar
this would give you an event you can call when you talk to your light bulb to do whatever (change your material in this case)
wintry silo
so that has told me volumes already about what is wrong, parts of the Blueprint are not working....
Right well now I know that half the nodes in CH_human have become corrupted
for the breakpoints don't even work with them.
the nodes are dead.
regal mulch
Breakpoints not breaking doesn't mean the nodes are corrupted
It's means your code isn't calling or you have your debug scope set on a different instance
steel bridge
@grim ore Like this?
wintry silo
well there is something wrong I enter into the dialog trigger set a breakpointon on create widget, and its not breaking me to the breakpoint of that widget.
regal mulch
I don't think you ever showed your code. So no idea.
wintry silo
the widget is not responding even though I stepped inside of the trigger and set the breakpoint on that widget..
and I knew something was wrong when I created a new widget and set it on the event begin play and it wouldnt even open that one up on the event begin play execution line, but it would open it up if I attached the code to a keypress..
grim ore
@steel bridge sort of, the goal of the boolean is to determine what to do and to use less code.
then in your trigger you call the ChangeLight function on the light bulb and tell it true or false depending on if you want it on or off
tulip sparrow
Sorry mind if i post a picture with a question??
wintry silo
that CH_Human BP widget has not been going right ever since the video memory crash.
regal mulch
Go ahead. Better than a question without one :D
steel bridge
ok, give me a min, i'll try
tulip sparrow
Is there an easy way to add fade to door way shadows?
its a bit intense and too specific
sweet relic
and change the source radius
wintry silo
I will show where I set the widget reference that's giving me all the trouble
regal mulch
The Casts are 100% pointless.
steel bridge
ok
grim ore
@steel bridge no need for the cast since you dont need to talk to the switch, correct. no need to store the boolean in the light bulb unless you want to (you could set that based on the boolean that comes in from the custom event if yo uwant). You are just having the trigger go "hey light, I want you to call this custom event and I want to pass along this boolean which represents the state of the light" then your light bulb acts on it and doesnt need to even care who called it
wintry silo
and this is where I set the Widget Reference also in the Dialog Widget.
grim ore
you know you could have a race condition depending on when all of this is created, but thats the point of debugging to see what is broke and when
wintry silo
should I have set the Dwig reference on the Construct of the widget?
grim ore
but that code above wouldnt cause your issue since thats a variable in the widget blueprint and your code above that is failing that you showed us comes right from the othre bp
it's just confusing on your path here. what is the Dwig variable supposed to be?
wintry silo
This Dwig Variable is the Dialog Widget itself
regal mulch
When you create the Widget and set the Variable, it's already enough.
The code in EventConstruct is totally unneeded.
wintry silo
theni don't need to set it in the construct ok I'll removeit.
grim ore
i think he needed the code, he is trying to tell the other BP about itself when it is created
but he is setting it wrong
regal mulch
Also the AccessedNone error you should come from somewhere else than what you showed. @wintry silo
He's already creating the widget in the Character
Or whatever CH_Human is
grim ore
ah didnt see that screenshot
wintry silo
CH Human is the Character Blueprint of my Commanding Pawn.
the none access is coming from update dialogs function.
regal mulch
Neither of those two did you show to us
steel bridge
@steel bridge But what if i want my character to be the only one who can call the light, doesn't mean i need the cast node?
grim ore
he did earlier. based on what you had him do it might fix the issue tho he was probably settings it correctly then incorrectly with that construct thing
regal mulch
Is it the Widget Variable that is null or the CharacterRef?
steel bridge
@grim ore sry i mentioned myself xd
wintry silo
its reading Dwig as being invalid.
regal mulch
It says "AccessedNone trying to read property Dwig"
Doesn't that mean the CharRef variable is null
Which it's trying to read the property from?
wintry silo
i have got Char Ref set in the construction script in the dialog master bp
wintry silo
regal mulch
That's not setting it
You are setting it with itself
The CharRef is invalid
Where is your Overlap event? Show that to me
wintry silo
if char ref is invalid, why does it say only dwig is invalid.
regal mulch
It doesn't say Dwig is invalid
Is says it accessed "none" while trying to get Dwig
It accessed the NULL CharRef while trying read Dwig
Again, where is your overlap?
wintry silo
but it didn't say in the error message that null was char ref, it only said it couldn't access dwig.
so I thought it was dwig that was the problem
ok the overlap hold on
where's that place you paste the blueprints in so I can give you the whole code
grim ore
steel bridge
@grim ore how can i tell ue4 to leave the light off without assign a material? Like tell it to get the bulb to it's original state when i step down from the switch?
regal mulch
@wintry silo When your Overlap calls, it's because you ran into it, right? So the "OtherActor" pin on it will be the Character you used.
So you can cast OtherActor to your Character and set the variable.
grim ore
@steel bridge what was the original material on it before you changed it? change it back to that
wintry silo
I will get the overlap event so you can see what i done
steel bridge
isn't there another way without assigning the material?
grim ore
maybe but your changing the material right?
technically what you want to do is your material has a parameter for the emissive value and you just change that
wintry silo
grim ore
so your item has 1 material you dont change, you just change the emissive value in it based on on or off
regal mulch
@wintry silo Yeah, so this is Singleplayer, right?
wintry silo
single player party group system.
regal mulch
If you Print or Breakpoint the DoOnce, does that trigger?
wintry silo
Here's the code to the Dialog Actor Trigger
https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/jrcsdfek/
regal mulch
@wintry silo Yeah so if that triggers then you can just cast OTherActor to your character class and get the reference like that
And that should then also allow you to access Dwig
Just make sure you don't access the variable prior to this overlap
wintry silo
I found how to use pastebin now for the blueprints. so you can take a look at the whole blueprint.
steel bridge
so your item has 1 material you dont change, you just change the emissive value in it based on on or off
@grim ore If it's okay with you, I'd like to know how to do this.
grim ore
it's material parameters https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Rendering/Materials/HowTo/Making_Parameters/index.html
wintry silo
do you mean like this ? Or don't I need to set dwig.
grim ore
wintry silo
ah now the problem is coming up with all Char Ref
regal mulch
No, I said cast the "OtherActor" pin to your Character and set the CharRef
No GetPlayerCharacter and no setting of Dwig
wintry silo
oh you mean before the do once right at the start of the on overlap event., do you want me to remove that other cast in the second screenshot above.
regal mulch
Yeah, you won't need any other cast or set
steel bridge
@grim ore I think that's a little bit advanced for me right now, but thank you anyway!
grim ore
well all the code was right there so 😉
wintry silo
i'm not sureof these instructions becaus I don't see the nodes to interpret but here's what I have done.
is this what you mean by cast to OtherActor Pin to Your Character?
maybe is valid should go after the cast
regal mulch
You don't need the IsValid there
regal mulch
If you can run into that Overlap but you have no PlayerController, you have bigger problems
wintry silo
what do you mean, I do have the player controller in there
regal mulch
"Have" as in being valid
wintry silo
is this correct?
regal mulch
No
That BP has a CharRef variable
You need to set that one
Right now you are setting the "CharRef" variable of "CH_Human" to "None".
wintry silo
or do you have to drag it instead from the cast. for I just dragged it instead out of the variable list.
regal mulch
steel bridge
@grim ore ik, but when i tried to copy it, i didn't find that emissive parameter:
wintry silo
ok so why is that set node wrong.
grim ore
any of your basic nodes, the 1 2 3 values for example, can be a static or parameter type. So for example right now you probably have a single value (float 1 or constant 1) into your emissive and its static. Right click on it and convert to parameter and it will be come a parameter version of that node @steel bridge
wintry silo
I dragged it from the cast
grim ore
in my case i named mine Emissive so it was easier to remember when I needed to change it, you can call it banannas if you wanted
regal mulch
@wintry silo Okay, stop dragging from the cast. Set the one from DialogUriTanis
wintry silo
well I got dialog working with the parent BP now
ok
oh i see now, so for each world I do dialog in I have to use that particlar ref in that Actor Trigger. Can't just use the main ref from my commander.
regal mulch
I have no idea what you are doing there. All i'm trying to tell you use how you get a valid character ref in your DialogUriTanis
wintry silo
char ref its working for the commander.
its working also for the other pawns as well.
well whatever you did it worked, it fixed the Uri Tanis Dialog Trigger. Thank you.
now I will load up blackhell and see how it behaves in that world.
steel bridge
@grim ore Oh, but first i need to make a Scalar Parameter and then rename it to emissive right?
grim ore
yep you can do that in the menu or make a normal constant (1 value) and convert it to the parameter
royal crest

wintry silo
what its not supposed to be 100% for long time unless its a mesh
wintry silo
unreal engine takes a long time to import in certain meshes depending on how much detail that the mesh has, how many polys and triangles, ect. and it looks like the editor freezes because its still calculating itself.
grim ore
yep depending on your machine it could take a while, could also be hard drive related
wintry silo
HDD that's a good point
royal crest
mesh is from hdd, ue4 is on m2 ssd
wintry silo
that could also be why its slower depending on speed on SSD

Quick question, anyone know how I can change the camera angle of my 2d platformer game to make the character to walk on a different axis, only pertaining to that specific level
scarlet birch
Setup a different camera and then use set view target
For the walking change what is called in the player controller
limber mesa
He currently walks on the x plane
Hmmm
@scarlet birch see
i want the view to rotate 90 degrees and walk the other way
scarlet birch
Just use a branch or enum & switch to call a different move function, or use a select node to change the value going into the movement input. There's a bunch of simple solutions.
limber mesa
ok
scarlet birch
With something like that you probably could use a select vector and have it switch between (1,0,0) and (0,1,0)

guys there is AI bots and actors and characters.
i managed to move a cube from point to point using the three diffrent kinds.
so the question is which one is the best? lets say u want to make an army consist of 300 enemy. which one will use less resorces, or perfrom better or easier to handle etc etc.
i used actors. now someone suggested me to use character and blackborad and behavior tree
ping me
grim ore
there is no right answer, you need to figure out what works best for your project
each has plusses and minuses
dire ingot
that why im asking
how im able to know which is best for my project when im here asking which one is better?
that not an answer
i gave the state above, an enemy consist of 300 enemies
that will be heavy task for sure
idk which is the best way to handle it between that three diffrent kinds
grim ore
you have to test
we dont know your exact systems or setup or design goals, all we could give is some generic answers and 1 think you didnt tell us causes it to be wrong
like I could say for 300 enemies you should look at using vertex animations instead of skeletal to save on cpu usage
but that could be wrong if you need something specific that SKM gives you
grim ore
your best bet is to see if any game that uses ue4, or any similar engine, that is near what you want has done a deep dive or something about their systems and try and see what they ran into and did

can anyone tell me why when i use a cel shader material the atmospheric fog goes black, im new to making shaders and i dont have a clew on why its turning things black its not only the atmosphere its also some objects in the scene except the character
everything besides the character turns black by the way when i use the custom depth path in rendering but the atmosphere doesnt have anything i can do to turn it off for it and i cant find any reason why its turning balck
do i have to make a sky sphere?
plush yew
yeah i know but the atmosphere should still be there right?
wintry silo
the fog should not be that dense.
plush yew
what do you mean? its all default

it should not be jet black

yeah, im not sure how to fix it

i'm not sure what happened to it, can you zoom out of the map, what happens.

is there a way to make the atmosphere not be affected by the cel shader? i make it so the shader only effects certain objects but for some reason its still effecting the atmosphere
wintry silo
is this post processing effect

post processing is an visual screen effect we put it in a volume box.

i know what post processing is lol, just cant find out why the shader is effecting the atmosphere when it shouldnt

it is a cardgame framework. it has multiplayer functionality built in. a card editor. and the entire project is modular. it is built with a simple template that has prebuilt abilities, and tables that populate all of the card assets in hand and on the board.
void mirage
@next nebula my vr game?
next nebula
yeah
stable gulch
so yeah. it has a lot. i just dont know how to go about changing the mana system. or adding my own elements to cards. like giving them natural armor as well as health.
oooooo i would like to hear ??
void mirage
panacea so you are making a card based game like pokemon ? or yugioh
stable gulch
more yugioh. but i have a few elements that i dont know how to convert to code.
void mirage
@next nebula the VR game i am going for is a open world survival based off a few game i love but needed more content thats what started me on this path and there isnt alot of good vr games out there right now. lvl and money will be set to items u can unlock in the world and to be honest right now this is my first game creation seeing as i am so new to unreal and people have a lot of experience. but one step at a time and it shall be a master peace to me after some extensive video watching doc reading and more it shall get there
panace what kind of elements i might be able to shearch up a vid for you if that helps
stable gulch
sounds really interesting and i would love to play test and give feed back.
next nebula
you alone?
next nebula
😦
@stable gulch so far we only have simple holster system, advanced movement and a few nature assets and interactions
we skipped a couple months of work
now were dedicated again
void mirage
not very intelligent on game creation so i started with unreal and learning blender as well
how do i screen shot ill show u what i barly got done
i fell asleep
stable gulch
so the mechanics. In my game, at the start of the match each player can choose to put a minion in a "Cell" on a row behind the player portrait. while in the gain, each turn players generate plus one mana. the the minion escapes after a set time.
the next issue is how to add class types. like tribes and faction types.
for sorting.
void mirage
are u haveing trubble with mana
stable gulch
yeah. like i wanted to have two types of resourse, Mana and Influence. but i dont know how to add those elements to the game scene.
next nebula
@void mirage Windows key + Shift + S for a snippet
stable gulch
there is a mana code that comes with the tool kit, i could share it here ?
void mirage
sure i dont see nothing wrong with doing that this community if for helping in all departments

Hi
It's my first day starting Unreal Engine
Any tips where to start?
P.s I have 3 years experience with Unity
next nebula
why the switch @plush yew
void mirage
my insperation is the forest popultaion one walking dead and a few others
void mirage
yes very
next nebula
Im going for a low poly styled multiplayer survival
plush yew
@next nebula I just want to explore everything
stable gulch
this is the documentation
void mirage
for vr does it have to be low poly?
plush yew
this is the documentation
@stable gulch thanks!
stable gulch
i figured the documentation would help you answer my questions. and no problemo
next nebula
quest isnt all that powerful
void mirage
ty panacea let me take a look
next nebula
I make it low poly to fit the general feel of VR
stable gulch
no thank you for helping me. i am going to try to find the blueprints i need to screenshot
void mirage
hell yeah dude i know nothing but im good at finding answers 🙂
im using the windows mixed reality from samsung oddessy +
and i like pavlovs charater set up
next nebula
hey @void mirage you knew to blender or prior experience?
void mirage
blender is a new exp for me as well im folling around with importing the ue4 mannican over and messing it all up lol
next nebula
hahaha its all about the learning curve
plush yew
Blender's Cool and easy to learn
next nebula
^^^
void mirage
btw blender is a very use full tool idk know unreal doesnt have that part of there system
stable gulch
this is the draw card ability. and i am wondering how it is put together so i can make my own. the tutorial in the documentation is either outdated, or i messed up the project.
plush yew
Also, it's open source and highly flexible
stable gulch
Blender is what i am learning. would you happen to know how i could transfer a project from unreal to unity ?
if that is even possible.
void mirage
i havent used unity at all i was thinking of trying it out but i got scared cause i already learned a bit from unreal lol
next nebula
thats not possible
plush yew
And I guess C# and C++ are Similar, so the coding won't be a problem
Also, this Blueprint business is something new for me
void mirage
export ur meshes as fbx
plush yew
^^^
void mirage
my vr game works with blueprints
plush yew
What exactly are blueprints?
void mirage
C# and c++ i herd not sure the c# is ez to learn compared to c++ is this true?
plush yew
@void mirage yes it's true
plush yew
@marsh swallow ohh cool, also there are some really cool textures and models on Megascans
Is it okay to use them? Do people use them usually?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28_gQi3DWfY&ab_channel=Chris'Tutorials
@void mirage thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻
void mirage
❤️
marsh swallow
yes lots of folks use megascans
void mirage
@next nebula hey what kind of VR player setup u going for ?
plush yew
They look pretty sweet
void mirage
if u dont mind me asking
mega scans is awsome as hell
really give your creation a feel of realistic
and simplicity
plush yew
Yes
One of the main reasons I switched
Unity takes a lot of hard work to make our work look photorealistic
void mirage
yeah unreal spoon feed that realistic part pretty good
i think i need a new gfx card lol

stable gulch
bit of a silly question, but if i jus learn the node language would that make this process easier ?
void mirage
panacea give me one sec im looking into the docs
ummm codeing is still a hard thing for me to learn tbh
in a way u still are codeing visually
with blueprints
next nebula
blueprints makes it a bit easier
void mirage
a bit
true ridge
@stable gulch It's like working with a translator rather than speaking the language directly. You know how a system in particular is supposed to work, you just have the nodes tell the engine to do it.
void mirage
@next nebula are u good are VR thried person character rigging and stuff like that sort?
@stable gulch u are right there all out of date videos on this subject
@stable gulch i think u need page 24 not sure
next nebula
@void mirage no Im not good at that at all 0 experience
void mirage
dang
im trying to do full body third person
but it is hard 😦
im not understanding it
stable gulch
last question. how would i convert a jpg to a dtx1 for unreal.
stable gulch
thank you so much. i dont know why i didnt think of that.

plain pagoda
is it possible to animate the hand bones (of my skeleton) in such a way that the gun being held always points towards a vector location?
plain pagoda
fps
next nebula
yeah so Im pretty sure you would use sockets
plain pagoda
plush yew
plain pagoda
here's my current set up
plush yew
This will help you
plain pagoda
the gun is currently vertical, it's a fixed animation. I just want the gun to point along the lines of the pink ray
void mirage
socket the gun to hand and the rotate it to where u want it faceing i think
plain pagoda
that's all good. I have done it already
void mirage
oh 😛
plain pagoda
but I want the socket to always rotate towards a vector location
so suppose I put a gun on my character, I don't want to use my mouse, I just want the gun to point towards a vector even when the character is moving around
rich spoke
How can I add this thing?
grim juniper
Double click a wire

monke im having trubble understanding this is the item a pick up able gun or a gun u spawn with ?

Hey my ue4 crashed
And when i re-open
I pressed skip restore wrongly
Is there a way to get back ?

i usally save alot cause unreal does that some time
free softwear it gonna crash at times
void mirage
sorry friend
void mirage
does anyone know how to blend the bottem of grass with the ground?
even the bottem of trees?
plain pagoda
monke im having trubble understanding this is the item a pick up able gun or a gun u spawn with ?
@void mirage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGowdT9wjAA
something like this
the gun always points to a vector location
void mirage
thats reminds me of a vr game i seen i think vr jet pack
the point of hit is where it needs a rotation i think for the gun
not entirely sure
that looks fun tho
next nebula
@void mirage are you going for realism survival?
next nebula
nice
void mirage
and i wanna make it pc friendly as well so it doesnt use alot of resources
VR is going to Be a big game changer 🙂
btw my sniping tool isnt working right?
@next nebula the things vr games lack is content 😦
void mirage
yes so much at the cost of dampining gfx a bit
next nebula
think you can help me here?
next nebula
so here I have a mini bp so that when the actor overlaps a sphere, it gets attached to a component, snaps in place, and is supposed to scale in size. However, the scale doesn't give me any compiler errors but it won't scale to the child actor's size. Any reason why this may be happening?
just copypasta
void mirage
snap to what target location?
next nebula
thats not the problem
that works fine
it goes to world transform
of the child actor
but the thing is scale factor
literally same reference but it doesnt work.
next nebula
so heres the thing
I have a child actor locked into the same place on the vrpawn and its scale is larger. so I want to get the scale of the child actor and cast it to the rock
same thing, not working
void mirage
i going to be honest with you i dont know nothing about child actors and that stuff yet
void mirage
if my snip tool worked i can show u what i got in my lvl
next nebula
so others know
yeah
you dont have to know anything about child actors for this it sjust annoying that its the same functions but for scale factor and its just not working
the world transform is
void mirage
maybe try reconnecting the rock child from the top attach to bottem run it off 1 node
void mirage
i dont know if it will work but it is a solutions that has a 1% of being right
next nebula
actually no its needed in order to hook up both
next nebula
yeah
void mirage
i think my unreal just crashed

dusky epoch
Is anyone out there who can help me to fix the issue about enemy health bar
@austere pelican
What help you need
austere pelican
actually i had already set up the health bar but health is not showing full(max health) on enemy widget
so if anyone can checkout
where ia the prob
dusky epoch
Did you do like this in your characters or did all the programming in your Widget UI BP ?
If you do like this in this image, all your characters in your Map will show the hp or your screen
austere pelican
See why its empty
dusky epoch
Because default hp percentage is from 0.0 to 1.0 in your Widget BP. You have to remove all the nodes in your Widget and do like that in that image that i shown you, it should be inside your characters
austere pelican
Here is my logic
dusky epoch
Is that inside your Character or Widget UI BP ?
austere pelican
inside the charcter bp..i just collasp all of them to funtion and connect to event begin play
dusky epoch
Also you have to remove any Progress percent bar bindings. Is the Bind thing empty and removed ?
austere pelican
Yeas i have done a binding as well
dusky epoch
remove that one
lament barn
Any good tutorials for making a simple top down vehicle game using blueprints?
dusky epoch
remove that nodes also remove the bindings
austere pelican
remove that one
@dusky epoch mate it still results same😫
dusky epoch
Delete all the codes/Bp's inside Widget UI and Check if the binding is like this empty
For me it's working and im using event tick instead of event begin play inside my character
dusky grove
I've been using unreal for some time, but would scripting be better than blueprints??
dusky epoch
I don't know scripting and you can make anything using blueprints. C++ is a little faster in performance than Blueprint if you are using many event ticks with loops (100 characters with event tick and loops). But you can Nativizing Blueprints and convert your BP to C++ for faster performence in settings.
dusky grove
oh thank you
dusky epoch
@dusky epoch mate it still results same😫
@austere pelican Did it work ? Did you delete the things inside your Widget UI ? Did it work now ?
austere pelican
@dusky epoch mate can we have a call after a while ..cuz im not understanding actually whats going on
dusky epoch
Sorry can't voice call at the moment. Check if your current HP and Max HP are the same amount
austere pelican
ohh mate it fixed..actually i get the same current health variable in the current health set funtion as condition..
Thanks for your time mate
dusky epoch
No problem

@austere pelican you would just hook up the execution's pins and any actor that overlaps will trigger it if they can overlap
austere pelican
@austere pelican you would just hook up the execution's pins and any actor that overlaps will trigger it if they can overlap
@zinc shore yeah but i cant do multiple casting like this..i want that if any actor overlap this box, this box containg character will get damage

is the box apart of your character
austere pelican
yeah

is there a way to see how destroyed is a destructible mesh ?

when an actor dose overlap the box dose anything happen
austere pelican
No nothing happens..i want that the health bar will decrease if anyone overlaps
zinc shore
from you screen shot you don't have anything hooked up to the execution pin but if you do have something hooked to it dose it trigger
austere pelican
The box im taking about is the component of the player who is in T pose...i want that the player will take damge if any other character overlap it...hopefully you understand the matter..now how can i do this
zinc shore
check to see dose your box component have collision and if so dose it overlap the right collision channels
austere pelican
@zinc shore kindly can we have a call with my screenshare..u have to just check everything is ok or not..as im a begginer so it could be taff for me to understand by just chat

i'm having a hella issue with megascans right now if anybody can help? i'm working on my first new project since the plugin update and am encountering an issue with displacement where it appears to not be lining up with the tiling of the other texture maps
or isn't high enough resolution on the mesh
or something weird at least
this is an image of the asset in the material instance window, and it looks great:
this is the asset on a basic plane inside the world:
it was working flawlessly before the update so i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong/what's changed

anyone know how to add random spread to fired projectiles?
this is what I have so far
carefull its loud haha
i guess you stuff here to add randomnes but im not sure how
scenic owl
@plush yew you should use " Random Unit Vector in Cone " node
scenic owl
that would work too XD
that's the node
you put " ForwardVector " in " Cone Dir "
and for " Cone Half Angle Degrees " you put any random value, the bigger the value, the bigger the random degree
plush yew
how big is the cone?
scenic owl
it depends the degree you put
plush yew
ah
plush yew
makes sense 😄
scenic owl
like if you put 45, the cone will be 90, which means it will make half a sphere
for the length, it depends on the linetrace/boxtrace or any trace node you're using
scenic owl
send a pic of your code XD
I used this method to add randomness when shooting with a shotgun

I think in " programming "? XD

This is really gonna be pushing for something, and pretty sure I already know, but is there any way to lerp between 2 color curves at the same value? I know that probably makes no sense considering you cant lerp between variables. But i do know that TrueSky figured how to lerp between their curves for sky lighting.
scenic owl
dense knoll
and its mostly just something not connecting properly because its in editor
scenic owl
@marsh swallow you can use " timeline " node 
and its mostly just something not connecting properly because its in editor
ye it's weird, I never had this problem before so no idea what's the reason
did you try verifying the engine files?
scenic owl
ouch 
try deleting " saved " folder and " intermediate " folder from your project
then try again
dense knoll
kk
scenic owl
@marsh swallow you can read the RGB values and then use a timeline to lerp between them
dense knoll
aparently that folder is 10 gb
scenic owl
yea saved and intemediate are always big xD
but they're always generated by the projct itself
if you're not sure about deleting them
copy them somewhere else
marsh swallow
yes but thats not the issue. the issue that there is a tick that tracks current value using an external color curve. so its literally swapping the values. Honestly i dont see a way around it. I will just have to disable the color curve, get last known value and lerp to new value.
scenic owl
then try delete them in the project
scenic owl
ye you shouldn't when you delete these files 
dense knoll
oh
scenic owl
so unreal will be re building these files for you when you open the project again
dense knoll
still failed
scenic owl
and still no errors given?

I'm just thinking about making a simple game, but would like it to be able to run in both android and iPhone/iPad. But wanted to know before hand weather it's a case of making two seperate copies or if its just a case of exporting out of UE4 in a different way for each platform

I did think about that, but am also unsure if the UE4 will fully emulate it running on an iOS device, or weather it just simulates resolution and controls. And I don't have an iOS device of my own 🤣

clear accumulated force?
that doesnt do anything
for me
i want my player like when i attack on the air stop moving and play an animation
scenic owl
Pandas are luv 
@shut glen nah it was a node related to " player character "
stops all physics for it
so if you turn it on in midair he will stuck in air but I forgot the name of it
I think it was " Character Movement " node
you put it to disabled and then nothing can cause the capsule to move as I remember
median hound
disable movement worked for me
median hound
well it will play whatever idle anim you got but it shouldnt move x y z
scenic owl
according to google, the node is called " Set Movement Mode "
shut glen
well it will play whatever idle anim you got but it shouldnt move x y z
@median hound IT WORKED
but how do i enable it?
scenic owl
