I could be wrong here, but I think if you space the blend markers out a bit, you should give more transition cushion to the blends
It's been a very long time since I've done anything major with animation though, so don't take my word as law
plush yew
Hi! Im a beginner that knows nothing about unreal engine 4. I want to create a game with npcs(animations for them like an animation for giving you items, their head following you, walking, etc), cars (and you have a key to start it or something, you need to fuel it to work, the fuel goes down, etc) and a country roads map and more stuff like quests and dialogues and things. Can anyone give me some tutorials for those?
frozen pond
yeah tutorial for this would look something like this:
plush yew
Basically i want to make a game similar to my summer car
frozen pond
no prob, 1-2 years of learning unreal then next 1-2 years of work and it's done
plush yew
Damn
frozen pond
2 years ago i had dreams too lol
plush yew
Is it that hard tho
frozen pond
what to do, what don't
like one time i created simple magic floor that when you walk you see brick coming to you
and fps frop was like from 120 to 30 in seconds
and this was the only element on map
plush yew
But if I just search tutorials and follow them how much would it take me
sage grail
Strongly recommend this course @plush yew
https://www.tomlooman.com/ue4-cpp-multiplayer-course/
frozen pond
there are at least 3 problems with unreal tutorials
- you will just copy thier work don't knowing what you doing
- a lot of them are outdated
- most of them cover only 1 stuff, so they aren't connected to other systems you make
sage grail
The one I linked is pretty dang good, it's leaves you once in awhile to come up with a solution where you need to research and figure it out on your own
plush yew
I will look into it
dawn gull
I personally took a class at my local community college
frozen pond
so you got either 3 ways:
- take some courses (i would say 200-300 hours of learning)
- try doing something alone -> deleting project cuz its bad -> go back to start -> until you get something working as it should
- take profesional training
sage grail
@plush yew Do you know how to program?
plush yew
@sage grail no
sage grail
Oh, so you'd be learning how to program AND make games at the same time
frozen pond
@plush yew
- this guy is GOD in unreal (at least for me)
https://www.youtube.com/c/MathewWadsteinTutorials/videos - udemy have some cool tutorials too
plush yew
I saw that most tutorials use the blueprints mode
I was thinking of that
Guys how do I animate the megascans plants? I don’t have the option in the details panel

blueprints are fine for small projects

plush yew
What is the profiler
polar hawk
its what you use to measure performance instead of guessing
these bp vs c++ benchmarks are so arbitrary and weird
not just that video, most of em
plush yew
Oof
polar hawk
it does illustrate how expensive blueprint invocations can be though
plush yew
Guess i will start with blueprints
Because code is just so complicated
And most tutorials are with blueprints
frozen pond
do something small for start just for learning unreal
polar hawk
they're both equally complicated, one is just text and the other is graphs

Is unity better for beginners?
plush yew
Like is it easier to do stuff
frozen pond
@plush yew that means if you want to make GTA V in blueprint you may have performance issues
plush yew
I can’t even texture a 3d model bruh
frozen pond
but if you make something small it will work
dawn gull
I prefer C# but Unreal’s UI is a lot better and stuff is a lot easier @plush yew
plush yew

sage grail
Thought it sounded better than saying I get paid to use Unity lol
plush yew
Well that’s cool
frozen pond
@sage grail semi-profesional c# coder 😉
plush yew
Is there like already repbuilt maps and npcs and you just edit the dialogues or something
Pre*
dawn gull
Some people only use Unity because they send you swag
@plush yew yes
It’s called the marketplace
frozen pond
@plush yew yeah there are templates
but if you think you can just download project do some magic clicks and text writing and it will be done - you are totally wrong
plush yew
What do you need to do?
frozen pond
expierence in c++/blueprints
you can't build car without knowing it parts and construction
dawn gull
Honestly, with marketplace stuff you only need basic BP knowledge
frozen pond
thats not true
plush yew
Actually there was a plug-in that convert blueprint in C++ to make it run faster
dawn gull
Was?
plush yew
Someone talked to me about that
No it was a plug-in
I saw so many do those videos and they are recreating games and it's so cool i want to do it too

Hi, im having a really bizzar issue suddenly in editor... every 4 seconds there is what looks like a tick of something heavy, but its doing it when not even playing, and it does it even in a brand new project with nothing in, every 4 sec the fps hitches basically to 0 and then back up... iv no clue why its started to happen as nothing has changed... iv uninstalled and reinstalled the engine, and games run fine like cyberpunk fine without hitching so its not likely to be a gpu driver issue... running on a 3700x and a 2070.... its such a specific thing i dont know how to try and search for it if others have had the same issue or not... any ideas what could cause a tick like lag spike even when only editing and not actually playing?

Hi, im having a really bizzar issue suddenly in editor... every 4 seconds there ...
I experienced something similar while I was working offline. (I turn my modem off every night. So my NIC saw that I had a network connection to my router but there was no internet connection.) So my hypothesis was that some program in the background was chugging on trying to reconnect. Once I disable my NIC adapter UE4 stopped chugging in the editor. I still have no idea what was making it do that.

What do people use for version control documentation, and are people usually using office365?
wary wave
...version control documentation?
north monolith
version control/source control software to use with documentation when collaborating, was what I should've said.
wary wave
gotcha
north monolith
Just thinking pure documentation here, not perforce or anything of that size
wary wave
I mean, if you already have version control, you can just put your documentation in it, then the format doesn't matter so much - you could use Office 365 or any free alternative of the user's preference
I use Confluence for documentation personally
it's essentially a wiki-style tool and it integrates with Jira directly
north monolith
does it allow branching?

Level blueprints are, unarguably, the best way to implement music into a game.

In Confluence, multiple people can work on the same page at the same time, and you don't need to commit changes until you want to
brisk spire
they really aren't :/
What do you think the best way is, then?
north monolith
Checking out their webpage now. Atlassian are working hard to acquire these tools I see, but seems like a good tool. I might go that route.
brisk spire
I've looked around quite a bit and no one can really settle on an answer
wary wave
What do you think the best way is, then?
Depends on requirements, but I'd probably have some kind of audio/music manager component on the game state, that way it can more tightly integrate with things like game settings etc
brisk spire
One interesting idea is using like a manager component on the player
wary wave
and any logic you implement will be completely portable between levels
wary wave
yeah, manager on player controller can also work, if it doesn't need any networking
brisk spire
No I think you're right, I think game state allows for more flexibility. I don't really need networking but it would be nice to have the option down the road open
wary wave
tbh, if you're not writing your stuff with networking in mind from day one, it doesn't matter how you implement it
open wadi
question: I have a 2D game and I would like to eliminate any and all 3D functionality auto-loaded by Unreal. How would I go about disabling that?
wary wave
because adding in networking as an afterthought usually means rewriting 3/4s of your entire game anyway 😂
open wadi
How does one disable the 3D functionality in Unreal, or as much of it as possible? I've been told there is a bit of a "master switch" in this regard.
brisk spire
Yeah I'm uhh
I'm.. in a position to easily implement networking right now, so it should be good

I don't believe there is any such thing. UE4 really doesn't support 'proper 2d'
cloud latch
Is signin to the epic games launcher failing for anyone else at the moment?

you can constrain actors to a given axis in their default settings
open wadi
Someone asked something similar on the UE4 forums, as usual no proper response, but one person simply showed a screenshot of "set enable world render" node
vocal flume
any idea why a component becomes invalid when passed to an event for the second time?
wary wave
lol
wary wave
no worries
if I were to do a 2d game in UE4, I'd use planar geometry and constrain it to a given axis - it'll still be 3d in the engine, but the effect will look 2d for the most part
open wadi
@brisk spire Believe me, I know. After a year of about a 10% success rate with questions, you learn to go to the subchannels.
Basically anything other than "I have grass how make it move" goes ignored.
cloud latch
@open wadi I mostly found I end up having to go to source code and figure it out myself XD
open wadi
Well there's an exceptionally broad suggestion, but yes, occasionally one must examine the source.
cloud latch
Yeah, I was more agreeing with you that it's very rare to get answers for anything beyond RTFM questions

so i made a door system when i click on a button the opens and closes
and after i open it will automatically closes
wary wave
never heard of that extension
plush yew
so i want when i leave the room the door to not close
apparently its for laser cutting
only when i go inside and close it
how can i make that
can anyone help me
why does your door automatically close then?
sly glacier
what is .tga texture files?
sly glacier
oh no, i joined to ask these kind of questions hoping you guys can explain it simpler/better
plush yew
@plush yew idk
i watched a tutorial and that's why
but how can i do that?
you gotta remove the part where its closes the door lol
yeah i did
but then i can't open and close it back
when i press that key
because i set a key
Oh, thanks !
left click , and when i left click the door will open/close
but i tried that
and it's not closing and opening anymore
@plush yew does it auto close when you go away
yes
i don't want that
cuz then you just need to delete on EndOverlap
oh ok
let me try
ok
i did
but now i can't close and open it back
i mean i can open it
but after that i can't close it
@plush yew
did you change anything else?
nope
i just deleted the endoverlap
i mean it should still work then, im just guessing you used a collision box at the door
yeah
yes
so how can i fix it?
what tutorial did you use?
hold on
Part 1
And part 2
because he used the same blueprint
so i had to watch part 1
the reverse connection on the timeline node closes the door so you need to disconnect the reverse at endoverlap
ok so
hold on
then put a flip flop at E pressed and stick the second one into reverse i guess
i want left click
ok so
the reverse from DoorAnimation/
same thing
from timeline/
?
yes
ok
i did
now what do i do
that should work i think
i just dissconnected that
disconnected
ok let me try]
nope
when i open it then i can't close it
that's the problem
can you send a screenshot of your BP?
ok
hold on
yeah you need da flip flop
wait
what is that
plush yew
then put a flip flop at E pressed and stick the second one into reverse i guess
this
ok hold on
so
right click and type flip flop
ok ok'
its like a switch
kk
ok
i did
now what's the next step
lmao
what
put A into play and B into reverse
ym
um
wait
and left click into flip flop
wait
what A
that's my blueprint rn
ok ok
but left mouse button is connected to door animation
yeah you use left click instead of F
ok
and where i connect A
and B
plush yew
put A into play and B into reverse
here
because left click is not connected to door
ok ok
both of them right?
teal schooner
your trolling right?
teal schooner
shut the up
plush yew
you said to connect A and B to reverse
i cant
whyy
that's what you said
to connect A and B to reverse
i said A into play
oh
and disconnect that long one
and B into reverse
ok
done
now let me try

When you package, do not use the pak file. Then you can see what's added to the package. (Everything is a directory)
Then use some file size checking tool to find out what's causing this big file size.

I have some light experience creating games(Project Spark, RPG Maker 1 and 2) but I've always played in the kid pool thinking UE4 was too complicated for me. T.T
I heard UE5 is supposed to be even easier to grasp and I'm very much looking forward to it.
There's a game I want to make and I know how I'm going to go about it. I just can't get started until UE5 comes out.

Better question then.
Say I'm making this game in UE 4.26 rn. When UE5 comes out, can I load it up from there?

I know it's possible to upgrade from 4.25 to 4.26 for example... but if it's a whole new engine version I'm not sure about it
thin merlin
Hmm
teal schooner
They're going to expect most everyone to upgrade, they don't expect people to start over
That's silly
thin merlin
If it was just a reskin of the gui and some background improvements then it wouldn't UE5. It'd be a 4.xx
I could see them making an entirely new engine with UE5.
teal schooner
This is straight from the FAQ: Will it be possible to migrate a UE4 project to UE5?
Yes. Developers will be able to migrate their UE4 projects to UE5, which is backwards-compatible. Developers targeting next-gen consoles are encouraged to start building with UE4 today and port their projects to UE5 if needed.

Making a multiplayer game is many times harder than a single player game. There's a lot more that can go wrong. You may get something functional without understanding it, but shipping a game will be almost impossible.
However, if you stay at it you will of course grow in understanding 😁

You can create simple multiplayer events but if you need to replicate movement and high frequency stuff you will need some c++

^^ Thank you. I will.
ebon marlin
@torpid flicker is that using the Character Movement Component?
plush yew
are you moving with character movement component?
marsh sparrow
so.. GameMode / GameModeBP should handle my 'start level, do cinematics, do story blah blah blah, then spawn characters and start game' stuff? if I understand this correctly? https://docs.unrealengine.com/Images/InteractiveExperiences/Framework/GameFlow/GameFlowChart.png
torpid flicker
no, im moving with SetActorLocation()
ebon marlin
there's a lead to your problem, how are you obtaining the location you're passing to set actor location?
torpid flicker
I mean i understand this should affect the moment of impact, but when it is left there shouldnt it be pushed out?
when i apply no input and I just leave him there
torpid flicker

I multiply an input axis vector by DeltaTime and the movement speed
ebon marlin
I haven't worked with CMC but Setting actor location with your own layer of logic ontop of it is bound to be intrusive to CMC's movemnet cycle
torpid flicker
so you suggest using the character component input?
ebon marlin
Yes, it will do everything for you
it's not designed to take care of depentrations after manual calls to set actor location
marsh sparrow
if (Value != 0.0f) {
// add movement in that direction
AddMovementInput(GetActorForwardVector(), Value);
}
}``` like this..I see, is that related to the camera spring arm not colliding effectively as well?
even though I set the proper option
ebon marlin
the camera should not be related to your movement

only indirectly by defining right/up/forward inputs etc

not sure about cinematics, but yes gamemode is the major workhorse of the game, gamestate and playerstate - afaik - should be treated more like replicating data containers
plush yew
@torpid flicker it really depends on what kind of game you are going for. Character movement component has a ton of nice stuff built in to it, for example replication if you are wanting a multiplayer game. There is no reason not to use it even in a simple situation. SetActorLocation should in theory work (if you are using single player). Notice when you use the 'setactorlocation' node, there is a checkbox like this
quartz grotto
Happy new year
plush yew
This will mean that your 'setactorlocation' movement ignores collisions, which can be a problem. If you check 'sweep' instead, you should in theory not be able to move inside walls, unless there is a problem eg with collision or with framerate.

If I stream a level into another level, if the streamed level has a seperate gamemode will that override the root level? or will it ignore the streamed level(s) gamemode?

the grass usually is part of the landscape mat and not applied as actual foliage...
Hey ! Just for clarification : You meant it's better to have grass as part of the landscape because if it is as foliage, you can have low FPS, right ? You was not saying that my low FPS (in my screenshot, we can see that I have low FPS) is due to the fact I have grass as part of the landscape ? (Sorry if I sound a bit dumb but english is sometimes a bit confusing to me 😉 )
( Though, my low FPS is truely due to my grass I guess (in major part at least) because if I delete the landscape, my FPS goes up pretty much )
calm widget
@plush yew You can have a landscape grass type, where you can put grass and sticks etc, so you can't select it as you can foliage, it's good for setting grass automatically where you paint it etc. Not sure it has much to do with fps in comparison to foliage might be wrong tho.

grim ore
@plush yew you put it wherever it makes sense for your project. both are valid.
@broken heath the sizing of the texture? if its not exposed you have to add it to the master material and expose it to the instance.
grim ore
what do you mean by width
broken heath
Like literally widenining the texture
grim ore
there is no width or height in a material since it is applied to an object and that object controls the size
it sounds like you mean the scaling, which is adjusting the texture coordinates
grim ore
you would add a texture coordinate to the texture sampler and just adjust it on the horizontal
broken heath
I want to get the value on the
Texture coordinate out
In a scalar parameter so i adjust it in an instance

and you just want to only expose the 1 value?

Hey! I've just began to learn Unreal Engine and I'm trying to make a custom, flying object follow the player. It's all good, but the drone only sees what's in front of it at the start. So when I go behind it's starting point, it stops following me, because it doesn't see me anymore. I use AIPerception (AI sight config) for this method, which cannot be attached to the body itself, so I'm guessing that it simply doesn't follow the drone itself. How could I fix this?

scenic egret
<@!141697791461294090> as in scaling all of an actor's components relatively?
It's basically just a tree falling. However when using sequences transform track it uses world space instead of the trees own X,Y,Z values, if that makes sense? I've tried experimenting with the different blend modes
celest vapor
are you using a timeline for the tree falling over?
scenic egret
Yeah I am, it isn't an animation ive done.
celest vapor
if the tree is an actor you can tell the static mesh component to update "relative transform" which only changes its transform relatively
when doing that just have the starting key be the current transform of the tree in the actor and then ending where you want it to end
like if its rotation is 0 to start and then to fall over you want to set its roll or pitch to 90 to make it fall sideways

Hello everyone. Happy New Year!! As I'm sat alone tonight I figured I'm gonna dive in and try and check out the Control Rig a little in Unreal 4.26 in the hopes of being able to use that to drive animations across multiple character skeletons without the need to retarget stuff. So. Has anyone explored it in depth? And if so, does anyone know if it's posible to have, say, the UE4 Mannequin (with a bunch of animations in an anim BP) drive a control rig that in turn drives a character with a somewhat different skeletal structure? So Mannequin -> Control Rig -> Custom bipedal character. Yay? Nay?
