Sorry, that's outside my knowledge. I'm not well versed in how Blender works, sorry.

I'm trying to use Mouse axis in the top down project but it only works when i hold down and drag the mouse, setting the game mode doesn't seem to work until i click once then it wont print any more. I've tried removing the consume input from SetDestination.
Only prints when i hold down any mouse button, cant think of anywhere else top down project could set game mode

Is there a way to set a mesh rotation where the forward vector changes with the angle of rotation
nevermind found a work around

Guys, if I have 4 terrains, is merging them together gonna help the performance?
They are 4 8kx8k terrains
frozen pond
What kind of quality you looking for? sets or what
parts, with large catalog of stuffs
preferably normalized so you can mix and match

@velvet vapor I don't know much about this but i think you should check out world composition

Oh bby, my engine keeps freezing when I click play 🤦♂️
I've been spending too much time debugging

how can you import json data into a data table again?

If I convert BP Project to a C++ project. Will all my BP still hold functionality?
On top of that would I still be able to use Blueprint in the Project now that it's been moved to a C++ project?
frozen pond
yes
celest vapor
To both questions right?
frozen pond
c++ project gives more possibilities
calm widget
I'm not sure what you mean by the first question
celest vapor
Overall my project is made using Blueprint but there is a plugin I wish to use that needs C++
frozen pond
i found 1 "downsite" of c++ projects
frozen pond
in default character there is no keyboard input blueprint lol
gloomy gull
@frozen pond There is
gloomy gull
If I convert BP Project to a C++ project. Will all my BP still hold functionalit...
You'll need to recode all the blueprints in C++
frozen pond
lol no why?
gloomy gull
What do u mean?
frozen pond
in c++ you can use blueprint too
grim ore
he means the input is handled in the C++ character

yep if he gets covid its gonzo
frozen pond
guys how i could get reference to this (attached components) so i can destroy them?
grim ore
@frozen pond do you add them at runtime, or are they there at design time?
frozen pond
design time
grim ore
there is a variable then in your variables panel for them
celest vapor
On top of what MathewW said, if you just want to remove all the child component you can get children components
(during play of course)
frozen pond
yeah but this isn't children component(?) it's just attached to it
celest vapor
Those components are children of the "Display2" Child actor component from the looks of it
frozen pond
i just attached skeletal mesh to it
celest vapor
yeah. The skeletal mesh is a child of the Display2 component
frozen pond
so whole group end as this:
celest vapor
Wait. Did you yourself attach the skeletal Mesh to the child actor component or did you assign a child actor to the child actor component that put those there?
wow that was a mouthfull
frozen pond
its just attached skeletal mesh to display2
they are separate components/actors
only 1 stuff comes to my mind atm and its is get components by a tag

crude robin
what the best way to learn lighting interior the vids i go to on epic site there levels do not work on learn.unrealengine.com
or they do not provide the resource
grim ore
@frozen pond why cant you just use the variables already made for them like suggested?
@crude robin the lighting courses are concepts, you can do the same steps in any other level. If you are referring to the realistic rendering demo (the room) then you can substitute out the current arch viz interior example in its place
otherwise 80.lvl is a good resource for graphics related learning
crude robin
i just need to learn it in general i struggle with setting it up
grim ore
@crude robin do the course using the arch viz interior example then, it's a fully set up interior scene intended to replace the older realistic rendering one
frozen pond
@grim ore i didn't use variables due it's runing on loop
crude robin
thanks ill try using that the global illumination is the part i struggle with to get the full overall decent result
grim ore
art is hard, you just have to keep failing until you get better at it
crude robin
seem i cant use it cause i dont have the light mass plug in

happy new year
hasty gorge
so I found out how to open that gwent clone
now how do I check the cpp code of the project itself?
do I have to open it from visual studio only?
okay I actually see there is a source folder within the main folder
and its filled with cpp files
and cs files which is weird
but is there really no way to open up cpp files associated with the unreal project within the unreal engine 4 environment?
frozen pond
load project from unreal start panel
on just double click on Cards.uproject
@hasty gorge
works fine
crude robin
finally found a level i can use sheesh lol maybe it itme for me to upgrade to 4.25 lol
fringe pivot
How much extra storage you need for 4.26 with 4.25 installed?
Does it eat the same space?
I guess everyone is getting drunk
hasty gorge
can someone tell me what UPROPERTY is about?
I tried looking for it in the C++ docs, but it has no page of its own

idk if this is a cpp thing or ue4 thing
what is this GENERATED_BODY() thing in the header files?

So all I did was click "add new C++ Class" and created a new one and all of a sudden the project said I need to rebuild the data so I restarted it and now it wont open. it says "The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version" and when I press "Okay" it says "Project could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually" anybody know how to fix this? The first sveral pages of google dont help, i tried it all

Can someone tell me how to have fewer triangles in the "red marked area" As you can see I made a transition with tesselation from close to mid but I can't find something to show me how to achieve a reduction of triangles in the far distance?
worldly token
anybody know why I can't delete the maps I was using for worldcomp earlier? I'm ready to replace them, and use different tile counts/sizes, but it won't let me. All are referenced in memory exactly once despite not being listed in my Levels window. I'm also getting an error that I'm over my 484,232MiB texture streaming budget. Which is also wild high so something looks like it went pretty wrong with this test project at this point.

@autumn flame that dark theme... im curious how you did it, ive looked everywhere people told me there was a new thing in the market place but it costs money and im to lazy to add my credit card
autumn flame
I just bought it from the marketplace and customized it with the already integrated options
It's like 8 bucks
plush yew
ok cool, isnt there a way to get a custom image on the editor? i remember i downloaded something but im not sure what it was called and think they might have removed it
autumn flame
Custom image?
plush yew
im not to sure how to explain it but you can change the editors gray layout to an image or something, or it might have been the background of the blueprints
autumn flame
I mean, you can edit colors in Editor Preferences -> Appearance
plush yew
here one sec ima see if i can find it
autumn flame
Edit -> Editor Preferences -> General -> Appearance
autumn flame
Perhaps, never really seen anything like that
plush yew
yeah, i use to have it in my library but i cant find it anywhere anymore
plush yew
ok thanks
can anyone help me with AI character?
i already have my character and animations
idk how to set
and stuff
i really need some help
😦
no one helps me. 😦
autumn flame
Looked up a tutorial?
autumn flame
What type of animations?
plush yew
running
i already have the animations imported into ue4
If I spawn a lot of actors on beginplay, how do I assign ownership of those actors to the BP that spawns them (not the networking ownership I mean actor parent/child ownership)
autumn flame
I don't see why AnimBP wouldn't work for AI Anims
plush yew
um
i want my character to make a run animation when he is chasing me
i already have a running animation
autumn flame
It still uses AnimBP
Why would an AI have different animations if using the same Characters as you for example
It's still a Skeleton
You just need to guide the AI's behaviour
plush yew
guys
i added the animation to the AI
and the animation is like 2 seconds and then he is going back
how do i fix that
celest vapor
Can you make Functions in Interfaces Pure?
plush yew
@plush yew How long is the animation?
1 seconds
second
As in how many frames?
30
the ai is repeating it over and over
how can i fix that
Could you show me how you set it up?
what
the blueprint?
soft fiber
When I import exported UE4 animations into Blender the starting height is wrong? Is there a way to correct this?
By height, I mean the origin of the z location.
plush yew
this is probably a dumb question but how do you make UV texture animations work in unreal engine?
I know you make a texture like this
but is this something you animate in maya before hand or in unreal engine
waxen raven
I know you could flip through it, hard to remember terms offhand though.
I almost want to say flip book or something to that effect, but I'd just do a web search.
plush yew
can anyone help mee
waxen raven
Depends on the problem I'd assume.
plush yew
i added a animation to my AI and he is repeating over and over the animation
waxen raven
By height, I mean the origin of the z location.
You can adjust the origins in blender, but I believe they use a different x,y,z base. That said the Unreal to Blender plug in might be worth a look for the return trip.
plush yew
i really need help
waxen raven
Okay, is the condition for the animation in a loop?
waxen raven
Keep the animation window open and run in editor in another window iirc. Been in modeling last few months so a bit rusty.
Or just add a chain and see.
plush yew
animation editor?
@waxen raven ive already tried helping him, from what i got hes trying to make an animation for the ai to chase him as in the ai has no function to actually follow the character is what i got and he want the animation to move the ai?
ok
i'm in
it has
he is chasing me
but i have this problem
with animation
waxen raven
Animation doesn't move characters. But yeah I could see the knowledge difference as being likely.
plush yew
it's a running animation
and i added to my ai
and he is chasing me
but he repeats the animation over and over
waxen raven
Odds are you never set a return conditional in the animation.
soft fiber
You can adjust the origins in blender, but I believe they use a different x,y,z ...
I'm guessing you mean manually adjust? I'm trying to match the origin of another animation exactly.
plush yew
ok so let me see
waxen raven
You have to give them a gate back to original state.
plush yew
ok so loop?
i also told him to loop that animation (got it from mixamo its calle in place or something)
waxen raven
Yeah I'd manually adjust, but I can see how that would be frustrating. Probably why T pose or A pose exist.
plush yew
So us the animation blueprint for your AI
i DID @plush yew
NOW IT'S RUNNING AT THE SAME PLACE
waxen raven
Exactly. The condition needs a change condition or it stays.
plush yew
i don't find loop
root motion
no umm
@plush yew Could ya show us your animation blueprint for the AI.
yeah to like 1 or something i forgot what the panel option was called but you need to make it 1 i think in the blend space
ok
wait
waxen raven
I'd sent a screenshot of the anim bp. Way easier to see then.
plush yew
ok
that's AI blueprint
Alright looks okay
yeah 😦
i'm so sad
what is your anim bp like
waxen raven
That tells it to move, but not the animation itself.
waxen raven
I'm guessing you've got a speed >= then play anim
waxen raven
That is the one we need.
plush yew
kk
Go to the AI BP, and in the details set it to use the Anim BP you make
ummm
details
here?
Select the mesh
ok
ok
done
ooh
looping
i see
it's checked
yes
it's set to
Animation mode: Use animation Assest
You should set the animation up
um
https://youtu.be/Qzd4oU0tkVA this should help
i'm in first person
btw
works both ways
@plush yew
so
what animation
wdym
wdym set animation up
waxen raven
This looks like a job for wtf is.
plush yew
you understand my confusion right?
😦
animation mode?
:/
@plush yew are you still here?
waxen raven
plush yew
So if I'm understanding this correctly, the Unreal EULA allows me to distribute the UE4 source code, provided it's a fork of their official repo and not a new repo altogether, right?
waxen raven
It might not be that one specifically, but I'm sure he'll have a video on animations and how they work.
plush yew
ok so
guys
i deactivated the loop
and now
it's not repeating
but when the animation finishes the ai is stuck
i mean he is not moving
that's good for now
autumn flame
You need to actually create an Animation Blueprint for the AI
Set up some State Machines
waxen raven
Yeah that was what I meant lol.
autumn flame
What State is currently in will be decided by a Transition like Speed > 0
Look into AnimBPs, you can't have an Animation set over there like that and expect it to work flawlessly
The problem here is the fundamentals
plush yew
oh
autumn flame
You need to basically code animation logic
Like if speed > 0 play run animation
if speed == 0 play idle
something like that
autumn flame
AnimBP drives the logic of the animation, still better having it no matter what
Especially for running animations
autumn flame
For stuff that play once you can use Anim Montages
plush yew
Wait i think
autumn flame
Create --> Anim Blueprint
autumn flame
Your animation will probs be driven by a Blendspace
If you only want running in one direction
Blend Space 1D
Just holds an animation in a line for Speed

I would really love to have telltale esque graphics in unreal engine, but the closest I've ever seen is with cartoony cel-shading which doesn't exactly have the gritty comic book hand drawn look
You would use cel-shading, I think a darker palette of colors and darker lighting is all it takes to make the games feel grittier, maybe desaturate stuff a little.
well I don't know- maybe it's just the models that need to be textured differently

Question - I've got a plugin I got off the marketplace that only supports UE 4.21 - 4.25, but I need it to work in 4.26.
I would be willing to bet the plugin code works fine in 4.26 - is there a way, on a per-plugin basis, to overwrite an ini file and simply tel the engine that 4.26 is supported?
dawn gull
Do you have any previous versions of Unreal installed currently? Because if so you can install it to say, 4.25 and just copy the files in the engine plugin folder
gritty finch
@dawn gull Can you help me with my question?

Slightly off topic but does anyone have a recommendation on dual monitors vs a single ultra wide? Specifically for Unreal, Blender, and video editing etc. I've got a single 16:9 monitor now; been wanting dual monitors for a long time but now I'm wondering if an ultra wide is better.
dawn gull
They’re functionally the same, except ultra wide stops gaps at the bottom between the screens
@gritty finch look through the unreal documentation
gritty finch
@dawn gull sure thanks!

@dawn gull Will give that a shot.

@dawn gull I copied the plugin from the same pulgin / marketplace directory in UE 4.25 to the equivalent in 4.26, and I'm told that filepicker was built with a different engine version, and must be built through the IDE. Any thoughts?
odd ibex
Is there any way I can download plugins I bought from the marketplace to the engine I built from source? The epic games launcher only recognize engines installed by it.
flint trench
@open wadi you can open .uproject and .uplugin files in a text editor
Right click the .uplugin and open in vs code or something, There should be an engine version setting in there
and then you will have to do whatever changes are necessary to bring that plugin up to 4.26, Some of the code might not compile

How can we do these kind of "simulations" in Unreal ? https://youtu.be/c7fJGAK7EbQ?t=228
"learning how to walk"
I don't get it, how do you make something learn how to walk ?
Is it related to A.I. and physics? Are there any examples of people trying to do this kind of stuff in ue4?
broken heath
I remember seeing this long ago, it’s scary
I assume it’s a combination of physics simulation, Memory Saving and a targeted correct animation that improves based on money
Memory*
plush yew
I remember seeing this long ago, it’s scary
it's scary no one actually has any idea how they did it
cinder iron
reinforcement learning is called
plush yew
so how do you do this kind of experiments in ue ?
broken heath
No i think many experts does
plush yew
I keep seeing these "simulations" but no one teaches how to use the engine for this kind of stuff
cinder iron
and yeah it's a physics walking. You need to implement your multilayer perceptron
define an input and output
and extend it based on your needs
Its a genetic algorithm to an extent
broken heath
But im curious why you need such simulation
cinder iron
because you need to train your model
plush yew
Because I love this stuff
cinder iron
so it inferes walking
plush yew
I love realism in games
broken heath
I can fake it
cinder iron
ML doesn't necessarily provide realism
broken heath
Faking this sim wouldnt look bad
plush yew
Faking this sim wouldnt look bad
yup but it would cut alot of fun out of it
I remember spending days in gta only doing crashes and all kinds of stuff to see the results
so I kinda want to use this to have my own stuff now
@cinder iron how can I train my mesh in ue ? is the training done in the engine or outside of it ?
cinder iron
it can be done within the engine
broken heath
Great i thought you want to train engine to simulate games
plush yew
@cinder iron this is basially the same thing I believe https://youtu.be/I1P_B65XW4I?t=131
broken heath
Yes it’s just physics
cinder iron
let me read the paper
plush yew
let me read the paper
no worries
plush yew
Yes it’s just physics
You think that behavioral trees are also involved ?
broken heath
Yes
cinder iron
no, this one is simply kinematic, probably deterministic
broken heath
Oh
cinder iron
and deterministic means that a BT could be involved
even ML models are deterministic once trained, however the indeterminism of the results are purely based on the hyperparams and the randomisation of your model
broken heath
Yes my idea of faking it is randomation based on a targeted animation that gets close everytime to the targeted animation based on memory
With different settings to different heights
plush yew
@cinder iron found a similar paper http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~dt/theses/fang-thesis.pdf
broken heath
Unreal engine 5 must help us with this
hearty bloom
When ue 5 will be released?
broken heath
End of 2021 publicly and betas for devs in early 2021 i assume
hearty bloom
for beta in early 2021
broken heath
Thats what i heard
hearty bloom
but official release end of 2021?
hearty bloom
Thats what i heard
where?
broken heath
Ya
I don’t remember but thats what would u get if u search
Lemme see
Unreal Engine 5 will be available in preview in early 2021, and in full release late in 2021, supporting next-generation consoles, current-generation consoles, PC, Mac, iOS, and Android.Jun 15, 2020

wow

Oh yeah probably big studios are already
hearty bloom
but it is not available for all of us as I can see
cinder iron
<@!158247241000157185> found a similar paper http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~dt/theses/f...
doesnt look like ML
plush yew
doesnt look like ML
Must've been wrong then
cinder iron
no biggie, it's easy to get confused in this topic
the TLDR is... RL in UE is time consuming as you need to create everything from scratch
however this is... more or less expected given that RL methods are specific to solve specific problems
as you need to define rewards/penalties based on your objective
ie:
reward your kart if it drives fast
reward your kart if it drives near the center of the track
penalty your car if it crashes
penalty your car if it takes more than x time in completing the circuit
plush yew
So for example
I would like to work like this: I would like to teach an npc how to walk, carry objects and to also be able to observe by looking at what the main character does. I would then like to use noise generation to give it a voice and have it learn how to produce sounds and to write. Lol, I know it sounds crazy but I'd like it to be learning all the time from the player. The final goal is not to have him speaking a language or write words, but just to have him TRYING TO.
Because, this would make each interraction with that npc DIFFERENT and unique.
What would work the best in this case ?
cinder iron
I wouldn't recommend you doing that from scratch
if you want to feed in audio and chat with an NPC
you want a speech to text model already trained in your language
then that text can be transferred and passed to your npc that will implement a chatbot behaviour
with a text to speech
meaning that it will be able to mantain a silly conversation with you
cinder iron
I have it at home hahaha
plush yew
lol
cinder iron
its called Alexa
plush yew
LOL
cinder iron
yeah these systems work exactly the same way, however they are a bit smarter
also you have it on windows under the name "Cortana"
plush yew
Is that a Halo refference ?
plush yew
wow
cinder iron
also I have in Barcelona a custom made home assistant
that works the same way I told you
I made it with a couple of friends
its still wip, but its our pet project
we wanted also to integrate face recognition and all this stuff
but... again, this is a mixup of already crafted tech
by very great profesionals
if you want to make your own speech synthesis model
thats a bit harder (lol)
plush yew
so basically I want something to generate sounds
just like a baby learns how to speak
it doesnt need to talk
and maybe
I could have it trained in game lobbies
just to put it on listen
cinder iron
I dont think such a thing exists per now
because speech to text
and chat bot training are different things
thats quite challenging actually
you might be able to train an ai to articulate sounds simply feeding it audio
plush yew
yup

however the ai would need to understand how... word formation works... its... very very complicated. You'd need to implement a cognitive model
this is... current state of the art speech synthesis
if you combine it with text data I guess it could improve notably

But on my device it opens about 5 seconds

can anyone help me? im extremely new, and im trying to randomize an item spawn. so, i created an object type array. in the array, i have the blueprint for a health globe. however, when i get the item from the array, i cannot "spawn actor from class" to get it because the Object reference does not work with the "Spawn Actor From Class" input. does anyone have any tips for me? http://puu.sh/H2Psc/7a9a755fea.png

Sooo I've looked everywhere and can't find any bug reports on this so... is no one else having a problem with Landscape LODs just... not working? I noticed my performance was tanking and memory exhausted and surprisingly, it wasn't fog! I checked wireframe and realized that my landscape was not LODing literally at all. I've used landscapes plenty of times in older versions and never experienced this. Specifically, it seems to only be happening at higher component counts, or with 2x2 sections selected.

Bit of a random, probably stupid question
But if I reduce a vector's length, will this result in the actual vector becoming shorter?

frozen pond
vector length is just distance, so reducing out distance don't reduce accual distance beetwen 2 actors

Ye thought so, reducing it as a float is doing nothing except reducing that float value
which isn't impacting the two vectors?
frozen pond
it isn't

how can you make the flow in blueprints redirect so it doest go trough other nodes ? i see they do it alot in video's but don't know how to do it or how its called to look it up

you mean functions ?

Yeah i know, I set public IP into domian. and forwarded 7777 port. it's dont seem work. it's might be tricky.
I don't use steamsubsystem yet
I'm just learning on dedicated server bit.
is there any more tutorial document website that i didnt find?

Is the port UDP?

Check out the Job Board channels starting with #instructions.
plush yew
no one is helping me
wanton lotus
no one is helping me
Try using a channel related to your current issue. You should be asking in #animation about how to create an animation blueprint. Also can look at the ThirdPersonCharacter animBP for an example.
wanton lotus
Create new project with third person so you can learn from it.
plush yew
no because i worked i think 2 weeks on my game
wanton lotus
There are other example projects there too.
wanton lotus
You need to create an animation blueprint that uses a locomotion blendspace that includes all your movement animations.
wanton lotus
People in #animation know more about this.
plush yew
FINE
frozen pond
show animation node @plush yew
frozen pond
are you doing something like play animation or montage?
cedar wave
Turn off caps lock, jeebus
frozen pond
you need animation blueprint for that
plush yew
i have
i already have
i'll show you
rn
it's only running animation
it's not idle
but i watched a tutorial and that's why
that's why i put idle_run
frozen pond
you didn't connect speed input
frozen pond
idle_run is driven by speed so if speed is 0 characters does something
frozen pond
and check now if its work as expected
plush yew
ok
no
he is repeating the same animation
he is running 1 second and then he is teleporting back where the animation started
wanton lotus
Need to also see your update graph
frozen pond
its default idle_run or you created one ?
wanton lotus
How are you setting speed?
frozen pond
yes
plush yew
i don't have one
frozen pond
show speed node
frozen pond
select event graph
frozen pond
if you don't have same nodes probably you didn't code it
frozen pond
open this and copy then paste in event graph
wanton lotus
Copy the screenshot above, that will give you basic movement.
plush yew
ok
wanton lotus
Ah, there ya go
frozen pond
open file -> ctrl + a -> ctrl +c -> ctrl + v in animation blueprint
celest vapor
in the event graph of the animation blueprint ofc (if its the get velocity)
frozen pond
should just work now
celest vapor
drag off of "try get pawn owner" and search for is valid (the one with the question mark on it)

Say guys I'm starting to develop a phobia of shader compilation.. I don't suppose there's options to expedite this by looping it through OpenCL or anything?
Anyone ever explore that?
plush yew
i don't find set
celest vapor
i don't find set
Set what? Set speed?
frozen pond
you need to create variable first
celest vapor
its setting the variable
frozen pond
that's not good variable name but fine
plush yew
then what's the name
frozen pond
any you want
frozen pond
but something you will recognize in future
frozen pond
in this case you are checking if character is faling
plush yew
that's how
plush yew
ok
celest vapor
Usually you want to name them something along the lines they represent
in this instance it represents if the character is falling
"is falling" is what I personally would name it
plush yew
frozen pond
thats better

@crude tulip Are you using math to rotate it or a timeline/Animation?
celest vapor
I havent really tinkered with UI animation much. so that would be beyond me as of now
crude tulip
<@!272529165771735040> Are you using math to rotate it or a timeline/Animation?
One message removed from a suspended account.
frozen pond
animation should be on loop and should be starting from 0 and ending at 0
celest vapor
Do you have the keys curve set to auto? Because that has caused me some issues in the past
Also you should take into account what @frozen pond said
frozen pond
yes that definily a curve
frozen pond
@crude tulip better add animation in widget itself
celest vapor
The curve should be linear if it just spins
frozen pond
nope
celest vapor
The white line represents the execution path
plush yew
oh
celest vapor
Meaning it will execute things in order from left to right along the white line
plush yew
done

I am guessing you may need to set the min and max values of your blend space correctly though.
frozen pond
yeah

how do i fix this
frozen pond
read error
celest vapor
the compile error will make the character T pose, once you fix that it should return back to normal
wanton lotus
plush yew
ok
frozen pond
but T pose is good sign for you

connect nodes

do this

thats mean you got wrong node

Drag from "try get pawn owner", then type in "get movement component"

to see if it works

Now to fix the blend space, hehe. Just a hunch.
celest vapor
nice call @wanton lotus
frozen pond
XD
still moat
😞
wanton lotus
Open your blend space and let's set your min/max values correctly based off your AI's max walk speed.
wanton lotus
Or you can set min/max to 0 and 1 and normalize the velocity based on your pawn's max walk speed.
frozen pond
i got small question to you
plush yew
ok
frozen pond
did you set blueprint to be used by character?
wanton lotus
Open asset details:
wanton lotus
Then show what you got in there.
frozen pond
plush yew
wanton lotus
Yes, that too, make sure your character is actually using the animBP you are setting up.
plush yew
ok
