Ok, so I have not the ugly line anymore but my blend is all black...
#ue4-general
floral mesa
@plush yew the black could possibly be an error with the blend. One of the texture may need to be set to alpha in the blend. And i say that because i know that was something that i had to do when i was setting up weightblending for landscape painting earlier this year
So as usual i am probably wrong but worth looking at whats going on in the blend node
plush yew
Mh indeed I do have an alpha here :
but there is no texture in it so I don't know...
( it's supposed to set the height of the blend... I believe... )
Though I think that the Runtime Virtual Texture Sample, the node in the very left low corner, is just like a texture because (again if I get the thing well) it receives the textures of the other material, those of the landscape (it is sent through the Runtime Virtual Texture Output of the rock material)
and this material is all black too so... maybe... I don't know...

@crisp thicket might need to click the eyeball on the bottom corner of the ue4 editor content browser and turn on engine content then use the search bar to find it

i made a thirdperson character a fp character i want it to walk slowly not run how can i do that?
there is no tutorial what so ever
if anyone can help me much appreciated
iam new
floral mesa
You can go in the statemachine and limit the blend to never go past the speed you want
floral mesa
Not to do that specifically. There is a turorial to set up blendspaces for character movement
And if you learn to do that youll know how to limit it as well
stone stump
thx
floral mesa
If that doesnt suit you so thpe in ue4 blendspace
stone stump
i just want to make it walk really slow
floral mesa
Whenever you want to find i fo regarding anything focus on keywords people use. I used blendspaces and statemachine
stone stump
ok
floral mesa
Things like that. Focus on those keywords and research to expand understanding. I wish someone had told me to do that
stone stump
thx man
floral mesa
But im glad i could help. Im sure youll get it down fast
Np
Another thing is, ue4 documentation is way helpful for self learners
I always study the actual documentaion and read it very very thoroughly. I absorb that info and apply it to things taught by tutorials. Having that foundation helps a ton and the tutorials help to expand upon what i read. Im then able to do more creative things with what ive learned
grim ore
@stone stump so did you change the third person character into first person?
stone stump
yes
grim ore
The character movement component in a character has a max walk speed property. That is what controls the max speed.
Since your not really asking how to change the animation but limit the max speed.
stone stump
the manny is running i want to make it walk and walk slowly if you know what i mean
grim ore
Yes the max walk speed sets the..... max speed when you move.
So lower it to like 50 and see what happens.
stone stump
blendspace right
grim ore
No in the character.
stone stump
yeah the problem is where can i find the component so i can adjust
ok wait you mean to open the character
grim ore
The left side on the top has all of the components in a blueprint so yes.
grim ore
Yep on the left click on character movement.
Then on the right in the details find the max walk speed.
grim ore
It’s 600 and too fast. Try 50 and go from there.

@crisp thicket did you unhide engine content?

Is it possible to delete an element of a widget dynamically, like a button?
Not the entire widget, just an element of a widget.
And not just hide the element via set visibility, but make it go away entirely (or shrink down to nothing / next to nothing) so it no longer impacts the structure of the widget
meager epoch
Hey everyone, I’m new here and I’ve never tried Unreal Engine before, I might start learning about how to use it soon

will this carry the capsule component with it or will it just move the cube and the capsule will stay put
so if you use the capsule as a collision and move the mesh will the capsule stay on the mesh or will they be seperate away
kindred dagger
It looks like the cube is a child of the capsule, so if the capsule moves the cube should move with it I think? correct me if I'm wrong someone, I'm not that good either lol
meager epoch
Also question,
Is Unreal Engine hard to make games with?
kindred dagger
@meager epoch welcome to Unreal Engine!! it's not too tough to make a game, but that's more of an opinion and depends on how you define the 'completion' of a game. To get it to a playable alpha state? Not too tough. It depends on complexity and how much time you put into it. You have to understand that most games anyone plays online are developed by teams, so you're going to need to learn quite a bit about all the different roles before you complete a game.
Things like platformers or first person shooters are easy to make when you refer to the basic core mechanics (like moving, aiming down sights, shooting and dealing damage) and there are so many tutorials on YouTube to refer to and follow along with to get it done in a reasonable amount of time. Just make sure you remember that frustration is part of learning and not understanding something will indeed be frustrating.
Ask questions, a lot of them, and be as patient as you can be. The first steps are learning to navigate the Engine. After that, it's all about understanding why things work, one thing at a time.

Say guys, I've got some assets that are supposed to have LOD levels that bring down their triangle count. However, how do I actually configure LOD levels? More specifically, how do I force it down a level by default?
light thunder
I just spent 5 hours and my lighting build finished but it "failed to save" - I don't have two editor instances open - I checked source control and the file is checked out - but it says locked - I set it to unlock and I checked windows explorer and the file was still read only. How can I save this so I don't lose that rendering session forever?
proven oxide
Can you change the filename you're saving it as?
light thunder
I dare not
this is tied to like 7 other sublevels whose lighting I've built
I was able to get it to save but I had to manually toggle off readonly in windows explorer and I have no idea why, when the file was checked out already
lusty carbon
hot beacon
hey super smort people any of you have a good tutorials on how to make trippy effects because one of the levels on my game i want to mess with your brain
ripe plaza
How would I go about switching between two different persistent levels with a loading screen? It makes sense for this game to have regular level switches as well as persistent levels, however most of the ways of creating loading screens require level streaming which kinda eliminates the point here
wait, nevermind, most of my concern comes from light baking since I don't want to have all the levels bake at once, but if I just make sort of groups of sublevels I can only bake one group at a time even if I do a level streaming-based loading screen
so it doesn't really matter

@unborn quartz @fierce tulip Thanks it works!

You don't need to make it part of a sky box per se. You can just make a bunch of nebula alpha cards and make them huge and far away.
That's how I'd do it anyways.
fierce tulip
might be better to make it part of the starry texture though if you can, less transparency is better for overdraw.
but it depends on need
anyways, ill keep an eye out @unborn quartz
unborn quartz
Okay, thanks bud. ❤️

You don't need to make it part of a sky box per se. You can just make a bunch of...
alpha cards? You mean normal texture on planes?
sorry, I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to materials and effects
unborn quartz
Luos is right about overdraw. Although if you make the transparency additive then it's at least cheap overdraw. Depends what else is going on. Is this for an effects heavy space game?
Yeah, normal textures on planes.
fierce tulip
afaik additive isnt any cheaper than regular transparency when it comes to overdraw
unborn quartz
Don't worry, if you're a noob this is the right place to ask questions ❤️
plain pagoda
do you know where can I get textures like that?
unborn quartz
I thought additive was less instructions and overdraw cost was overdraw count * shader cost
Well, for a start you could Google image search for some pictures of nebula.
fierce tulip
unborn quartz
How you do the transparency is... Well there are many ways to skin a cat. But if you just paint in a black areas around the edges and use additive you'll be most of the way there.

though its a little old, not sure how things have changed since then, and cant be arsed to do an in-depth performance test XD

I think the answer could be summarised as "it's complicated and in some cases additive might be a little cheaper and it might make no difference at all"
I would add that if there's no visual difference, additive won't hurt.

Is the Chaos build still Github exclusive? Wasn't clear to me in the release notes. It just says "If you opt into the 4.26_ChaosBuild..."
maiden swift
Bummer. Yeah I knew it went back to beta, but I didn't know it still wouldn't be available in the launcher.
And the release notes were not really clear about that. It just says "opt in" not "opt in on GitHub".
I guess they figured it's in the docs they link to.

when is unreal engine 5 coming?
Preview early next year, release late next year.
dark depot
most guesses would be gdc
maiden swift
That's probably a safe bet for the preview release.
neon grove
should i wait for unreal 5 or can i move my unreal 4 projects into 5?
maiden swift
We've been told that UE4 projects will open in UE5.
neon grove
oh thats nice
maiden swift
Many will require updating to take advantage of what UE5 has to offer, of course, but they should be compatible. It's not a hard break.

I am trying to get the mesh attached to my socket to be rotated 90 degrees on the Z axis, but it seems that the mesh does not rotate no matter how much I rotate the socket itself, does socket rotation not affect the mesh/actor attached to the socket?
EDIT: I can include the socket screenshot, but it only shows the rotation values.
midnight jetty
ive been learning ue4 for a month now. do u think im wasting my time considering ue5 is coming out next year? like am i wasting my time learning something that will be made obsolete very soon? or will my knowledge that im gaining now translate over?
dark depot
ue5 is just an upgrade for ue4
midnight jetty
i thought its basically an entirely new engine?
dark depot
the things that change will be easy enough to learn with docs and such
that isnt how engines work
deep viper
@midnight jetty It will be nearly identical to UE4 when it comes to how you interact with it. UE5 will improve things "behind the scenes" you will never see, or add additional tools besides the ones already existing in UE4
dark depot
things are getting replaced but it will be mostly the same user wise
midnight jetty
ohh ok that makes me happy. good to know 🙂
dark depot
at least for the start
thick herald
@deep viper you can take the transform of the socket and use that for your mesh
deep viper
@thick herald So the mesh attached to the socket does not inherit the rotation [out of the box] ?
clear shard
@buoyant iron so they haven't changed that from the last few updates, even for this final one? That ugly square was present both in test 6 and 7

Not by default, as far as I know. Just grab the transform and set your mesh to it and you should be good. 🙂
buoyant iron
yeah, its looking good now
for some reason my sun sky is slightly broken, cant move it around with my mouse using ctrl-L
Did they change the short cut? the little diagram pops up but when i move my mouse it starts to quiver lol.
deep viper
@thick herald Thanks. I guess socket rotation does not automatically rotate the Static mesh attached to it (but now that I think about it, if the socket's rotation does nothing, does the rotation of a socket serve any function? It seems like socket rotation is completely useless )
clear shard
check if you are using actual sun position data regarding geo location
you can't move sun in that case, you have to change values for the time of day etc
frail river
Are the real time RTX caustics in the 4.26 engine or are those pushed back entirely?
buoyant iron
@clear shard i see, is that a new option they added. can i turn it off? Im looking for it in the details tab. This wasnt a problem in 4.25
thick herald
@deep viper It's only in Blender that the empties there don't store it. In UE your sockets will have full transforms, you can adjust them manually or do something fancy in BPs. 🙂
deep viper
I understand the socket has a rotation component inside UE4. But it seems that this rotation component has no role. I originally thought it would adjust the rotation of anything attached to said socket (a relative rotation, similar to how meshes have a rotation relative to the root component)
EDIT: IF I were to use an analogy, the socket has a water gun, l but it can't shoot water. (why does it have a water gun to begin with? A socket isn't renderable.)
dark depot

RTX specific things are in the nvidia branch of ue

stark marsh
help i'm making a 2.5d platformer so the character can only move on two axis but the actual levels are in 3d
but i havae a dash ability that sends my character to the direction im facing in
but since it's in 3d space if my character faces towards me it tries to dash forwards towards me, rather than to the left or right
trim trail
hey, I'm looking for some app/script that converts video or frames into flipbook texture (for animated fog/smoke). Any suggestions, I'd appreciate
prisma seal
@stark marsh Don't let the player dash if looking forward? Only dash of looking left or right?
stark marsh
but then if the player is slightly facing forwards it just wouldn't work at all
meager frigate
alright guys lets pump out more pirate games
prisma seal
So the player's rotation is not restricted to 90, 0, -90?
stark marsh
no
prisma seal
hmm, well if movement is restricted to left or right and the player is able to look forward. Even if you figured out how to not have the player dash forward, how would you decide wether to dash left or right?
Probably not the best solution but maybe only allow dashing if the player is moving? @stark marsh
meager frigate
yeah, it makes since that if your looking toward the screen and dash toward the screen that he would dash toward the screen...
stark marsh
yeah i know it makes sense
but i just want it to only be able to go left or right dashing, and i can't get it to work
prisma seal
Look at what I wrote above where I pinged you
grim ore
maths time. You have your vector that defines left and one that defines right. Get the current vector of the player for its forward and see if its closer to left or right and then have them go that way instead of "forward" on the player. You can even make sure its within a certain percentage of the left or right vector so they have to be mainly facing that way
meager frigate
IF the character is facing a certain direction when you hit the dash THEN dash
prisma seal
One question, whats the point of letting the player look at 45 or 60 degrees when they can only move when at 90 or -90?
meager frigate
if its a 3d platformer that slides 2d you can still go forward and backwards to get around stuff
plush yew
is there someone here who's really comfortable with using unreal engine i just wanna ask a silly but simple question
prisma seal
It's a 2.5d platformer where the player can only move left or right
@plush yew Ask the question instead of asking to ask
plush yew
it seems a bit overwhelming to start using unreal engine which is similar to how i felt when i first started moding
but the application options and what they do
meager frigate
if you cant move towards and away from the camera then you should just restrict the movement
plush yew
seem pretty simple to get use to using like a set of actions in a card game or rpg if that makes sense
does that seem to be the case when you know what the terms for the program mean
with what node in material i can use to control with param the white and black color ?
stuff like event(insertwords) looks complicated but when i read the sub options in the box it seems pretty straight forward
does using the program get become easy when you understand the terms for the boxes and options presented or does it stay complicated even after xD
sorry if its a dumb question jsut want to gauge what im diving head over heels into
meager frigate
@plush yew if your just using blueprints its all about just learning what nodes do, best thing to do is just start doing tutorials.

plush yew
okie :>
oh wait
super smart amazing helper mathewW is here!
i has one question before i moozy off
i just need a yes or no not really an explanation atm can you make it so you can do the attack input for example and itll use logics to check if the enemy is there and attack it or whatever but have that same input become something else when the target moves outside of the close up range
so the action performed and logics for animations on both target and caster changes based on range of the target o-o
for a dumb example like in avatar punching people is punching but if someone backs up they punch and shoot a fireball from there fist
prisma seal
Yes, if enemy is in x range do y attack, else do z thing
prisma seal
A lot is possible, you just have to figure out how to do it
plush yew
i know i know the more i learn the more excited i get
because all of the snazziest stuff ive always wanted in gaming but almost never seen seem to be such simple constructs for the unreal engine
and i know how silly it sounds but its so unreal >O<
maiden iris
can someone please tell me how to correctly export pivot painter textures and how to "rig" the vegetation to deform correctly with pivot painter 2.0 ?
prisma seal
@stark marsh If it's not important, the player doesn't need to look forward. Having the player look either left or right makes it easy to tell which direction the player is going to dash. All the area marked in green is the direction the player doesn't need to look in. So you only need the player to be able to rotate at -90 or 90
meager frigate
I was thinking it was like castle crashers where you can move up(into the background) and down into the foreground but if your going just left and right theres no reason to look at the screen

2.5D? Wot?
left arrow
How can I add this node?
thick knoll
@left arrow that's a constant node
plush yew
Ctrl+ 0 I think
thick knoll
if you press 1 and click it's the shortcut
plush yew
I don’t remember
left arrow
thanks!
thick knoll
it's just a static value you can right click and turn it into a parameter! 🙂
thick knoll
haha no idea, lets find out
thick herald
1,2,3,4 and click to get constants with those amounts of elements
thick knoll
nothing!
thick knoll
I had to press right ctrl + 0 to test it xD
plush yew
Guys can anyone help me? I’ll need to dm
light thunder
I know there is way to do this - I've selected a large group of actors and I want to be able to numerically rotate them, basically 90 degrees in the world around a central axis (see image) I've got a blutility script setup but it just jacks things up, what am I forgetting here?
grim ore
@zinc shore do you have an example of this happening?
plush yew
@light thunder if u only have to rotate click the rotation tool
plush yew
Oh with blueprint
thick herald
Nope all working smoothly here
plush yew
Idk, I’ve never done this stuff, probably a ‘make rotator’? Idk I am noob with this stuff
thick knoll
I know the default time of day scene in 4.25 has an event tick linked to a recapture in the level BP, which tanks framerate
plush yew
Guys can anyone help?
plush yew
I can’t here I have to ask in #graphics
Probably
Its a problem with a quixel snow material tutorial
median hound
how do i get lighting spline?
thick knoll
I havnt seen a need for the real time capture yet
it must just be for high end visuals on cinematics
plush yew
Guys, is it real that blueprint makes the game do less FPS than c++ ?
thick knoll
I am looking to make some trimming for my room, ideally I would like to instance mesh this and just repeat a mesh but just playing with ideas
I am trying to come up with a way of having a spline based system that is marked by the room (time saving) is there any best practices of making this work efficiency?
stuck scarab
@plush yew blueprints are not as effecient as c++
dont quote me on that but I heard about 10-15% less effectivness..if one could even measure it like that
plush yew
Oh wow that’s why AAA games only use C or C++
thick knoll
blueprints are an integeral part of UE4, even if you are C#, you will always be using them to some degree
zinc shore
@grim ore here is what happens if i resize the window or if i use sliders
thick knoll
C# can get more efficient in the right hands, but BP's can be incredibly efficient too, it depends on the scope of your project
median hound
anomaly it doesnt happen 2 me btw
zinc shore
hmm i winder why this wasn't the case in 4.25
also i cant even use sliders because the whole engine goes unresponsive IDK why this is happening
true falcon
OMG OMG OMG 4.26 released
thick knoll
@true falcon upgraded to 4.26 for one my projects now 😄
grim ore
@zinc shore yep 0 issues here. do you have any overlay software running like nvidia shadowplay or msi afterburner?
plush yew
Idk why but... 4.26 is more stable than 4.25 and 4.24... idk why
thick herald
Nope not yet.
wet laurel
I will now also only work with 4.26.
grim ore
@zinc shore simply looking at your ping icon (the blue hat with the green ring) it's not smooth soo..... something is definitely off with your pc and the install
zinc shore
im also doing a driver update as well so that could help as well
plush yew
Guys umm... is a landscape deformation BP easy to create?
median hound
where are ppl getting bp test planet from?
worthy fox
So 4.26 was released today and I don’t have time to sit down by the computer until next Friday.... 😭😭😭😭 Are the volumetric clouds as easy as drag-and-drop? 😱😍
wet laurel
I'll check again.
plush yew
If u just drag and drop they are pretty bad
worthy fox
I’ll call in sick 😂 Can’t fcking wait!
wet laurel
😂
median hound
dk is it suppose to be like the bp sky sphere? built in
plush yew
What is mega jams
wet laurel
its not a skysphere, its a Planet 😄
median hound
how did you figure it out? did you just download the engine and go straight to exploring the folders in ue4
this it?
wet laurel
Yeah, I found it by accident. There are a lot of blueprints to find :D.
no.. wait. i search
I have to do shader compiles right now so I can't look it up.
plush yew
@light lintel you can leave them as they are, they are good. I was using the wrong cloud
median hound
dk do u know what the folder is called
plush yew

It's really clogging up my C
zinc shore
With my editor freezing I’ve noticed it only happens on windows were a 3D view port is visible
plush yew

@zinc shore make sure you're using discrete gpu on that monitor
