ue4-general

[autumn elbow]

correct?

[paper crest]

perhaps u should move the animation frame to 71 and check the value

[autumn elbow]

yea

it's incorrect

[still moat]

Also use the "Get Scaled Box extent" node instead of the property

[autumn elbow]

anyway, just wanted to check and make sure I'm not crazy. Thanks

me? I'm working on the paragon style distance matching thing

[worthy oyster]

@grim ore your solution kills the next part of the tutorial series...

[autumn elbow]

what are you making ? @worthy oyster

[worthy oyster]

applying locked and unlocked state to an door

[autumn elbow]

ahh cool

i remember my first door tutorial

😄

[worthy oyster]

i had problems with the code in the tutorial then it works fine with the new code but now i found out the locked state wont work with it

[autumn elbow]

What are you using to lock and unlock ?

[worthy oyster]

did you watched the video? a variable with boolean jammed into a branch and set it to false

[autumn elbow]

ahh I see

are you having trouble with it?

[worthy oyster]

well...thats why im here

[autumn elbow]

what are you having trouble with ?

i guess I missed the question earlier

[worthy oyster]

once again did oyu watched the video? she sais it should never be able to be opened but it works normaly on me even with false set it to that

[autumn elbow]

you have it plugged in to revese

[worthy oyster]

where should i plug it else in?

[autumn elbow]

read through your graph... IF isDoorLocked : OpenDoor

thats what you have it set to

ooos

[worthy oyster]

ist it set to that?

if door is locked "false" = dont play the animation

[autumn elbow]

then you mark it to true, and the door shouldnt open

[narrow mauve]

I dont get custom collisions. The landscape is set to block all collisions and the custom collision therefor is set to block..yet any object that uses it falls right through

huh

[worthy oyster]

why does it work on her at false and on me on true?

[chrome beacon]

I'm in serious troubles... after trying to move the engine into my new ssd drive, using the same directory, and being forced to reinstall it I got a crash trying to open a project. I did a verification from the launcher and I got no message saying there was something wrong. I tried to reopen the same project and then another project getting a crash each time . The message I got each time the crash happened was this:

[plush yew]

How do I check the size of assets on quixel bridge before downloading them?

[ember geode]

How long it took you to grasp it?

[brisk rock]

does smb know if there any way how to export full mesh of metahuman?

[ember geode]

Give em no clothes.

[whole abyss]

Can you change the render effects somehow?

Like change bloom intensity and stuff?

[plush yew]

Yes @whole abyss

[ember geode]

No.

[plush yew]

You can

[chrome beacon]

Anybody who could help me to figure out what the issue I mentioned above is all about!?

[plush yew]

@whole abyss
Create - visual effects - post process volume and then you should be able to figure out the rest.

[ember geode]

Ya. I somehow did it before. Exported the full body mesh. They still default with underwears though.

[worthy oyster]

i have no idea about anything yet so you need to explain to me what i should set to what and where it is

[whole abyss]

Is post process volumes just so the effects only happen while inside it?

[plush yew]

You can mate it effect it indefinitely

Go to post process volume details , scroll down to post process volume settings and you'll see the option "infinite extent(unbound)" check it to make it effect everything inside and outside your PPV

[devout swift]

While the GameInstance is good for keeping track of things that are persistent across map loads, the GameMode is the one that you'd use to keep track of things that should get reset when the map is reloaded?
For example, like keeping track of how many enemies there are left in a given level in a simple top down shooter game.

[worthy oyster]

i could fucking cry right now

i take a break right now it sucks to dont know where the goddamn error is

[chrome beacon]

I did take a break myself and when I came back I had an even worse surprise nobody seems able to address...

I try posting it again, hoping somebody can try to help me

I guess because is an Android plugin issue perhaps? If Android is the issue, can't I just disable Android from my engine installation somehow!?

me either, I dunno why this never happened before. All I can suppose is this is happening after moving from a drive to another. I believe I installed the Android stuff in prevision of future projects, not so essential really

it happens with any projet I try to open

I did the verification already and didn't give any notice

the launcher didn't recognize the moved installation and reinstalled it completely

I'll try that one

I checked the old installation and actually there was no Android installed

yep

now I know why it was 53GB instead of the 12-13GB of the original one...

I guess that when installing it for the first time I unchecked several parts the launcher tries to install as a default

[chrome beacon]

Does anybody know if there is a list of assets which are compatible with the 5.0!?

[glass egret]

i need help from someone who knows a bit about exporting animations from blender to unreal

animation gets messed up

its a baked animation so i dont know why

will pay

should take 5min tops

[soft tree]

@glass egret I haven't tried importing animations yet, but have you used the blender unreal plugin?

its supposed to import with all the correct settings right into unreal

[glass egret]

https://i.imgur.com/rNi1iJD.png

when imported to unreal the eye lid doesnt open anymore

and the brain doesnt pulse

[plush yew]

@glass egret try to create an action!

if I am not mistaken, last time I tried to import a mesh with an animation without creating an action it did not shew

#################################################

I am still having problems getting this to print what is supposed to...

I tried to "add widget; show in view-port" in the pawn, player state without a result...

the EventGraph where this function is override looks like this,

there is other turnaround for getting key input?

[plush yew]

the call of the widget works, since it locks my player functionality.. however the print shewing the keys pressed \ released do not! 😐

[glass egret]

whats set recursive mean

[plush yew]

idk what you trying to chat

[glass egret]

the plugin

u need to

Export recursive Export self object and all children

how do i do that

lect the asset you want to export and set the Export type property to "Export recursive".

select the asset you want to export and set the Export type property to "Export recursive".

how do i do that

[plush yew]

if you are typing about the Unreal plugin to Blender, they did a live stream about it on their Youtube channel

there is 4 hours of tutorials there, but the first one should be enough I think

but I do not know much about blender, only low-poly stuff and simple animations (I mostly use video references to set walking, running ones; so zero tweaking of F-curves & other stuff)

I got so much trouble trying to export skeletons of vehicles that I just gave up and went for a hover one 😄

[rancid lagoon]

I have a huge 50 GB model and its on google drive, but i want to be able to stream that data into my game without having to store the model on the players computer. Any ideas?

[hoary silo]

@plush yew go into the project settings and search for "enable transport" and disable "enable transport" under the "Plugins - UDP Messaging" section

The same thing happens to me whenever I make a new project, not sure what's causing it but disabling that setting solves the issue

hope that helps

[calm pollen]

Hey how do I size widgets so that if the player's device screen is not the usual dimensions (1080x1920) For instance a screen size being a (640x1136)

if that makes sense idk how to word it exactly ^^^

[hoary silo]

yeah that does

select the widget that you want to be affected

then press this:

then press the image all the way in the bottom right:

then set all of the offsets to 0

did that work?

[hoary silo]

@calm pollen

[light thunder]

Is there anyway to access/randomize the starting point of an animation - on the animation blueprint?

[glass egret]

can i send someone the blend file and they export it for me

[calm pollen]

@glass egret sure dm me

why tho? is your thing not working?

[calm pollen]

yup thanks 🙂

[glass egret]

i dmd u

[lofty sandal]

loving this ^

[glass egret]

anyone else able to help

he couldnt figure it out

[autumn elbow]

@ember geode grasp what? door?

[jaunty wharf]

Does anyone have any optimization tips? currently I'm having around 15-20 FPS hovewer im running on old 1050gtx and on max settings as I haven't implemented option to scale down settings in menu. That amount of fps is kinda unplayable. Also all LODs are set up so that's a thing I know about 🙂 Thanks in advance

[glass egret]

will pay someone 10 dollars to get this exported where it works. every animation is working except the eye

[autumn elbow]

What if it's not you, but Unreal 5? Its still buggy.

Try it in 4.26 and see if it works.

[glass egret]

im in 4.26 if ir talking to me

[autumn elbow]

Oh ok

UI looks like UE5

[glass egret]

no

thats blender

lol

[autumn elbow]

😂 I'm going blind

I was looking at i4cm9's comment and thought it was ur UI

Does anyone have any Youtube channels or websites with free Unreal tutorials? 🙂 I'm currently learning from UnrealSensei but I'm looking for some more content, thankyou! Feel free to tag/pm me 😄

Also letting me know of any other kinds of Unreal4 learning resources would be really appreciated

[plush yew]

[marsh sparrow]

Any

Git, Perforce

[devout whale]

Can someone please tell me the latest version of ue4 ? Thanks

[rancid lagoon]

the latest version of UE4 is 4.26, but they have UE5 on early access

[rancid lagoon]

yes, there is Smart Poly (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1e34nrTQqVXkNU5ekH9CQ) and there is the Unreal Engine official youtube channel

there is also Usico (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQv4mwerZLQVe3wPbsMc-qw)

Thanks man 😄 much appreciated!

[grim ore]

epic games has free content as well on their website

[rancid lagoon]

Is it possible to make a game where you download it onto your computer, but when you play it it fetches some of the data (i.e. really big 3d model files) from the cloud or something? That way the game is still light on the computer?

[grim ore]

yes but not out of the box, that is custom code. there is probably plugins/marketplace stuff to help with that for a price

[rancid lagoon]

what would that be called?

[grim ore]

no real name, maybe remote patching or remote downloading. its something that a MMO would use for example so maybe look for a patching system?

googling UE4 game patcher returned some results

but based on your question it seems like you dont want it to be on the PC, but usually thats not going to happen it has to be somewhere even temporary (like html stuff does). Cloud Streaming would be the solution to nothing on the PC

[chrome beacon]

Hello. Can somebody help me to fix this damn thing "Platform HoloLens didn't have a valid GlobalIdentifier set in DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini" that causes crashes as soon as I open any 4.26 project, please. I've been going crazy with that in the last 24 hours! Thanks so much...

I checked the installed plugins and for some unknown reason it says no plugin is installed, which makes no sense

Where are supposed to be stored the installed plugins? Not the storage of the packages but the storage of the enabled ones.

[kindred viper]

either in the project plugins folder or the engine plugins folder

[chrome beacon]

@kindred viper I checked there and the plugins are all there but the engine says are not installed

it's forcing me to reinstall/enable them all

How is it possible that I find no reference to that at all, anywhere!?

all the information I get are misleading and not addressing my specific issue, which must be a common issue

[leaden dust]

What is the best blender to unreal workflow plugin?

[leaden dust]

I was thinking the same thing although there are a bunch of them floating around

[kindred viper]

@leaden dustdepends what you need to do. If it's skeletal meshes there are 3 workflows. each with their own benefits and pitfalls. If its static meshes, it's pretty straight forward in terms of exporting to FBX. If it's physics you can use alembic and scale it 100 (presuming you keep the meters scaling that is default in blender as its best for the physics side)

[tropic plinth]

Somone knows how to exclude components from Apply Radial Damale?
I have some bigger Trigger Spheres on some actors, but they should not be considered for Apply Radial damage as hit. But they will. Documentation says, radial damage is only applied on component which blocks visibility channel. But this seems to be buggy or I miss something:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/BlueprintAPI/Game/Damage/ApplyRadialDamagewithFalloff/
From Documentation: "Will only hit components that block the Visibility channel."
But it also hits sphere which are set to visibility ignore:

[worthy oyster]

Can someone recommend a tutorial for beginners in unreal engine? I’m from blender and it’s really confusing to me

[plush yew]

https://youtu.be/qeKDRqWtGV0 this might help

@worthy oyster

[worthy oyster]

I just watched like 10 minutes of that but it’s already confusing to me I watched a series from make games with katie it’s build up like the dich it tutorial from blender guru and he’s talking already about classes and blueprints and c++

[plush yew]

@worthy oysterthats okay it will take some time getting use to, but its best to start small like learning how to place objects how to import them etc then learn lighting level design and blueprints etc its just going to take some time getting use to, you dont have to understand it yet in a couple days youll already have a small game going

Heya

Is it possible to change Cull Distance Volume distances at runtime?

[chrome beacon]

Has anyone moved the VaultCache to a new drive? I need a little helpt with that... thanks

[flint stone]

Hi, I'm not sure where to post this. I'm trying to research digging and cave creation during runtime in UE. There are a lot of articles where this has been inquired about since 2015 or even earlier, but none that have given me a conclusion on the matter. Most articles point at Voxel as the solution, but I wonder if there any other alternatives out there or in the works.

[chrome beacon]

Voxel seems definitely the only ready-made solution, as far as i know. Unless you're capable of creating an alternative yourself I see no other option but I can be wrong.

[eternal osprey]

Hi Peoples!
Do you know if there is a way make the ObjectPositionWS UE4 node work in VR build?
I tried to replace it with the ActorPositionWS node but it's still not working

[flint stone]

I wouldn't mind trying, as I do have a solution in mind. Maybe someone has some references to which classes are used in landscaping, just to spare me the time of searching. 😄

[chrome beacon]

Can somebody help me to clear my doubts about this procedure?

That warning in orange is scaring me off, I'm terrified my stuff can go lost someway

I want to avoid that "worst case"

[lucid grove]

Just to clarify - you want to create cave on landscape or system that allow player to make one?

[spiral flint]

does anyone know why the hair texture didnt come in

[flint stone]

@lucid grove a system that allows the player to make one.

[elder crest]

is there anyone awake and knowlegable to help me with a rigging issue? i have asked several other servers and everyone seems stumped.

[whole abyss]

I've made a simple player entity movement with blueprints. Should i could i convert that to c++ ?

[fierce tulip]

@vernal dock that should go in #work-in-progress

[whole abyss]

I'm also a bit unsure on general stuff. For example. The player has a spring arm and camera. Can all of that be made in c++ also? Should it?

And if so does that mean the whole object is just a c++ object, or is it a normal regular object with c++ components

sorry if it's confusing questions, just wanna understand this

[vernal dock]

thanks i did

[sly condor]

you can have a special material writing in the custom depth / stencil buffer, and then use a post process to paint white where the custom stencil is written. I did it that way in our game and works.

my main suggestion is to not rely on it.
if you need to financially rely on it, you might end up being very disappointing.

Is the error Failed to load yulkan driver

[drowsy snow]

Aren't NVIDIA's Linux drivers notorious for being wonky?

[worthy oyster]

?

[drowsy snow]

If you have NVIDIA GPU, you'd might as well setup a kernel VM running Windows, complete with CPU pinning and alike.
NVIDIA's Linux drivers are notorious for being wonky, based on reports in forums and alike.

[frozen stratus]

@drowsy snow That automotive material error we talked about is caused by applying certain materials to skeletal mesh. Once applied it will break it on static meshes too and error will be saved to the material through the project. So can only use these materials on static meshes. To fix it, if this error is already there, need to remove the material from skeletal meshes and reimport related broken master material to the project... just sharing this, maybe will be useful to someone later

[drowsy snow]

Custom build - compiles and works fine with VS 2019

how do i close this back up?

[plush yew]

UHUL! I got what is wrong. You need to set "bIsFocusable" variable, however, by following the tutorial on lvl80 website, I thought it was to create an "IsFocusable" one myself and not use the (already created) engine one... So now I got keyboard input showing on the PrintString!

Hey Guys, does anyone know how to use a console command to freeze the camera in game but not freeze the frame, is that possible?

I found a command for FreezeAt but I can't seem to get it working properly

[drowsy snow]

4 years.

[worthy oyster]

oh wow im doing like 2-3 years blender and decided to make a game with a friend so im learning unreal now...

[drowsy snow]

Any reason not to pause the game?

[dusty lava]

It would need to freeze the camera due some behavior from remoting into a device, I need to do some profiles and a console command to freeze the position would be super useful

[worthy oyster]

i looked once into blender 2.7 and was scared to touch it so i deleted it again (i was about 10? 11?) so one day i downloadd blender again and modelled stuff and im getting better now i made recently my first car

[plush yew]

does anyone knows in which situation I would not want this as my anchor in widgets?

I really do not know, in my head this is the alpha-ômega solution

[drowsy snow]

Generally widgets that aren't filling the entire screen, like game HUD

[plush yew]

oh gosh, thanks for the sparkle

hahaha what a noob I was

[drowsy snow]

HUDs are better using single point anchors (or stretch either horizontally or vertically, depending on the game)

[worn granite]

Yeah consider ultrawides

[plush yew]

so in my case (the quest for setting a Terminal window inside the game), would be better setting the anchor as mid-bottom instead the one I pointed?

[worn granite]

Middle anchor makes sense for some UI elements like a quest list maybe. Side anchor would be better for a map, perhaps.

Full screen anchor takes away that utility and now you're working exclusively in the proportions of the screen and not the actual size

[drowsy snow]

Also 4:3 displays
(I know some people still using those and it's what they have)

[worthy oyster]

thats messing with my eyes

[worn granite]

Anchors and then relative offset and pivot, all together make for a very nice system

[worthy oyster]

i call it the motionblurrplate

[chrome beacon]

This nightmare never ends... I keep on crashing even on newly created projects reinstalling the assets connected to HoloLens... but this issue keeps coming and is seriously driving me mad. This is part of the message I get with the crash... Platform HoloLens didn't have a valid GlobalIdentifier set in DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini

[worthy oyster]

why does it do that?

didnt changed anything

[drowsy snow]

BTW consider remuxing the video or reducing its file size.

[worthy oyster]

can you read still the text if i do so?

this is how its intended to be (its a tutorial)

[drowsy snow]

Texts often survive in high level of compressions.

[worthy oyster]

i changed it to 100 and it doesnt changed anything

why cant i just reverse it? i mean i did the same on the door animation too?

but it works like that hmmm

i wonder if blueprints are a mandatory thing to know about

i was going to skip it so that I don't feel like a casual

and then I thought

what if the company I work for only uses blueprints?

[worthy oyster]

@plush yew

[drowsy snow]

Generally you'd want to learn both BP and C++
And yes, many studios use Blueprints in their UE4 game development.

Also here's the thing:
Using Blueprints in Unreal Engine is not an embarrassment.

[worthy oyster]

?

btw this is now the smallest bitrate i can set it to @drowsy snow

[light thunder]

lol that was a month ago

[drowsy snow]

Use software like Handbrake to better compress it. 42 MB for 1 minute video is ridiculous for the web.

Not jeans or shirts boots etc any help bought many clothes for my survival game would like to have player switch out clothes in runtime. Like if it get cold they can craft pants then move to equip then they equip? or am I asking to much?

[drowsy snow]

Good luck packaging UE projects without it
(Though there's a standalone build tool for VS)

[mild jetty]

of course I need it

[drowsy snow]

My point is that in Unreal Engine 4 (and 5), BP and C++ go hand in hand. You want to learn both of them, and bring your BPs to superpower with C++ low level scripting.

Why do they have to feel casual to begin with, and why does it matter? Ego is not a good thing in gamedev.

For instance, doing asset referencing in UE C++ is a huge pain in the arse.

[worthy oyster]

thanks 😄

i just tried some exploits and i cna lock the door if its open xD

like it wont go up anymore

yay fixed a problem on my own 😄

[worn granite]

technically you can do it in an elegant way without ever involving BP. You can make full games with only C++ and not do things in a terrible way.

It just isn't as effective as allowing yourself the combination

[grim ore]

Never use BP, never use C++. Rewrite the engine in pure 6502 ASM and run it on a NES and be done with it, that would prove your hardcore

[mild jetty]

it matters on a personal level. when I see my friends, they will find something to diss each other about, and visual programming is one of those things 🤡

[grim ore]

your friends are idiots

but they are friends so that is allowed

[fierce tulip]

wonder how many of them shipped games XD

[grim ore]

still idiots

[mild jetty]

yep

[drowsy snow]

Then write your own game engine lmao
Use overcomplicated language if you want to bring your ego up to eleven, like Fortran or Assembly x86

[grim ore]

write your own programming language like other game devs...

[fierce tulip]

pff, why start at writing your own game engine, create your own hardware, an OS to run on it, and take it from there

[drowsy snow]

Even create competitor to PICO-8 for all I care.

[grim ore]

yeah be like wozniak!

seriously tho... if you plan on using Unreal Engine you will use Blueprints, if you want to fight it then use another engine.

Visual Scripting is great tho, Game Builder Garage on the Switch is a fun way to get people into programming. I've been having a blast with it

[fierce tulip]

make your own tools to mine them, and your own factory to melt the ores down, and another to construct them

"advanced gamedev simulator"

[mild jetty]

or you know

I could just lie to them 🤷‍♀️

one of them said they'd make their own game engine

but that was 3 years ago, and i see no game engine

[drowsy snow]

Or even better: Don't bother with them.

You do you.

Use Unreal Engine if you're comfortable with it, and it's what your project needs.

[grim ore]

"Ya'll make fun of Blueprints, I'm gonna be over here making an actual game"

[drowsy snow]

The real flex would be making a tangible progress, even if it's using UE4 (or any other publicly available game engine).

[lucid grove]

Hey fellas! Can somebody suggest a way to make those sheer cliffs? Seems like landscape editor doesn't allow me to do that

[fierce tulip]

meshes

[grim ore]

the overhanging one?

[lucid grove]

yep

[drowsy snow]

Use static meshes.

[grim ore]

then what Luos suggested, meshes

[lucid grove]

Yeah i thought about it but couldnt find any look a like both on marketplace and megascans

[grim ore]

unfortunately I dont think the built in landscape system supports concave like that

[drowsy snow]

Creating / sculpting your own is always an option.

[lucid grove]

Im not 3d-artist, thats not an option to me 🙂

[grim ore]

hire someone, or try your best to make it work

its the never ending cycle of being a specialist

[drowsy snow]

At least in Blender, you could quickly made rough shape of the concave ground, subdivide, and displace it.
And you don't necessarily have to be a 3D artist for it.

[fierce tulip]

you can still use the landscape for the top-grass part, mask out the side where you need meshes, and find some rock meshes. i think recoloring that epic cave-scene rocks and using those could work

[lucid grove]

True, but i want to focus only on 3-4 things at a time. Dont want to be average on everything 🙂

[drowsy snow]

Though I don't think this is a good idea, given how "low res" landscape planes are in Manny scale.

[drowsy snow]

Alternatively you can assemble it by kitbashing mossy rock assets.

[lucid grove]

I have a problem mostly with its sheer part, probably need to look closely on MS library

[drowsy snow]

Don't get too rigid with Megascans stuff, BTW. Improvise and kitbash the assets.

[fierce tulip]

worked for most games ive worked on, just depends on needs/wants/whatever

[grim ore]

spend some time in real life learning to be a propmaster for film and tv, work on those kit bashing skills in real life 🙂

this poor poor delusional person heh

[fierce tulip]

mmo

solo dev

[stiff beacon]

So, can anyone help me with general tips and how better experienced users do things like this? I got the idea to recreate a certain Monastery because it looked cool, and i realized I could probably do it with just using the geometric shapes the program has. My question is though, do most people do the same or do they make their own models or find megascans?

[drowsy snow]

BSPs are only used for blocking out levels at best, not to make meshes.

[grim ore]

look at the content examples project, look at the level building map

[drowsy snow]

Also many AAA games uses Megascans nowadays.

[lucid grove]

Maybe he is young! I was always kinda jealous when teenagers start to be interested in development, and not like me at the age of 29.

[junior shadow]

hey all, respect your skills and theme. weve been making soldier of fortune 2 to work on UE , we need to finish the project, you can pm me for details

[lucid grove]

Im 31 atm and those few years of learning flashed right in front of my eyes

[prime willow]

well i wanted to make an mmo by myself too so i know the feels ;-;

[stiff beacon]

Megascans do look amazing of course, but I kind of feel like they take a lot of the fun away from making and designing games

[grim ore]

@lucid grovehe could be, still delusional they just might not know it yet heh

[prime willow]

settled for multiplayer game with solo play

[drowsy snow]

Age doesn't really matters for starting development

[drowsy snow]

The fun from reinventing the wheels? or the fun of making an actual progress in the project?

[fast kernel]

thats good cause im 25 and i started today lol

[worn peak]

Im having a lag using 'set actor loc' + lerp nodes to move a actor, but move smoothly using 'move component to' any ideia why the lag ?

[drowsy snow]

I was a modder when I was an 8 years old kid (and still is), delved into game dev a decade later.

[lucid grove]

There is few benefits: when you are young you have more free time and more energy, whats more important: less problems ha 😄
But when you older you more concentrated and what seems to me more important is that you have much more critical thinking.

[worn peak]

its possible to increase the 'tick' on a timeline node ?

[drowsy snow]

I'm also thinking about making an MMO (sort of PAST FUTURE ONLINE), but I know it's going to be a huge undertaking for me, so I start with single player game (but applying some MP practices because I'm using replication for replay system)

[prime willow]

yeah ._.

im still having ik issues tbh

not sure what im going to do..

[fast kernel]

im trying to create a stadium, but go absolutely no idea how to go about it, theres not much how to threads out there

[drowsy snow]

I mean, my project funding is basically my own personal savings at the moment, and I can't afford to get going with MMO.

[prime willow]

likewise >:3

[grim ore]

@worn peaknot really? the timeline runs on tick and the value is based on time that is passed since the last time it fired. What did you need done?

[drowsy snow]

What kind of issues?

[prime willow]

model still floops

if i choose a different bone setup via tearing bones out

i lose face rig :/

so im at a lost but trying a new tutorial to get ik working

hopefully ill make some progress

[worn peak]

oh u answered on this chat, sorry the mention on the 'bp' chat

i need to move a simple static mesh within 1sec, doing it with lerp+setActorLocation

when i do with lerp+setLoc seems visually like i have 10fps

when I do with moveComponent seems like playing with 60fps

[cedar wave]

It's kind of a rite of passage at this point.

[grim ore]

maybe your code is weird? it should move at your FPS

but generally no, its going to update the timeline at the tick rate

[drowsy snow]

Can you describe your current setup? (Can PM if you felt it'll going to make the channel "dirty")

[worn peak]

the code, any possible error at this part ?

[prime willow]

sure lemme try it again and ill show

[grim ore]

yes

your start and end when lerping should be fixed

so your changing your start every frame to the current start which means its going to not lerp right

get and save current location as start location -> start timeline -> lerp from current saved start location to the fixed end location

[worn peak]

but its fixed, no ?

im moving more than one actor

any K 'index' its for a single actor

[grim ore]

are you not getting it every frame and then setting it that same frame to the new location?

get actor location is going into A on the lerp, then you are lerping and putting that as the new location

next frame your getting the new location, and repeating right?

this results in your starting being closer to the ending every frame which means the distance it moves is not fixed over time

[worn peak]

but its getting the location of a new actor

its like

[grim ore]

maybe im reading it wrong but it looks like what I am describing. is the location you get changing over time that you feed into the Lerp A?

[drowsy snow]

Control Rig (sort of)

[worn peak]

its like,
k==0,
get actor location of ArrayActor[0] and use it on Lerp A
get location of TargetPointArray[0] and use it on Lerp B
then set it on SetActorLoc

k==1...

[grim ore]

yes look at this

lerp should be like the top, your moving from 0 to 1 over time and 0.5 is in the middle

[drowsy snow]

Though it would be a too much of a stretch if you consider Control Rig as anim BP (which is officially considered as rig BP)

[grim ore]

your 0 or start point never moves so 0.5 is in the middle

[paper ginkgo]

so i got the modular robots off the store which is free. but im only given the option to create new project. and when i go into my own project and try to import the blueprints over the folders are empty. How would i add the content to my own project?

[grim ore]

if you change your start location , bottom picture in red, then your 0.5 is now more like 0.75 since your 0 to 1 is now condensed

[worn peak]

oh

guess i got it

[drowsy snow]

Right click the assets -> Migrate

[grim ore]

yeah your start location on a lerp has to stay the start location, it never changes or else your distance grows or shrinks

[worn peak]

the input LerpA its been updated too so ?

[grim ore]

so grab your start locations, put them into a new array, and use that as your starts as you loop

[worn peak]

i see

gonna correct it

[drowsy snow]

(ignore that I'm using SoundWave to demonstrate this)

[grim ore]

yep instead of get current actor location, just get your stored actor locations that you stored before you started the timeline

[worn peak]

btw theres something like 'temporary variable' to use it just for that moment

or i should create a whole new array to save it

[grim ore]

theres no real temp variable outside functions, I would just make a new one

[worn peak]

oks

[grim ore]

you could try Make Array but I personally have no guarantee it would stay alive while the timeline was running in the event (makes me feel dirty)

[paper ginkgo]

hmmm i think somethings wrong with my comp lol

[drowsy snow]

Procedural animation in UE4 is possible in anim BP and/or Control Rig.
You may also look for Power IK plugin that have support for this.

[paper ginkgo]

whenever i try and open folders it takes forver to load/freezes

[grim ore]

@paper ginkgowhat version of the engine is YOUR project in, what version of the engine is THE ROBOT PACK in?

[paper ginkgo]

im in 4.26 and the project is too

[light thunder]

Is there any tutorial for using nav meshes in conjuction with streaming levels? I keep getting editor crashes and am wondering if I am doing something fundamentally wrong - my main point is my recast nav actor is on the persistant level, I've done that but I don't see why it's crashing when I have streaming levels that contain their own nav meshes - ```Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION 0x00000000

[grim ore]

ok so then migrating should work like suggested

[drowsy snow]

Typically you'd use dynamic nav "meshes" for streaming levels (or open world scenarios)

[paper ginkgo]

the issue im having rn is i can hit migrate but my folder finer runs superrr slow, its been doing this for a couple days now

like my folder select is frozen rn

[buoyant isle]

hey guys I got a question, I have a BP that makes a bullet hole spawn on overlapping bullet everything works good but the bullet hole is getting render at like 2-3 meters past this it desperate. where can you set the render distance on this type of effects ?

[grim ore]

@paper ginkgowell it usually has to find all associated assets which then ends up loading them in memory so it could be causing that. if the versions are the same copying the raw folder in windows should work if you move it to the same location

[drowsy snow]

Assuming you're using decals:

[buoyant isle]

yeah decals sorry I didnt had the project open about to go out ^^

[paper ginkgo]

maybe, would be nice to know if somethings wrong with my comp xd even when i try to open my folder normally it takes minutes to load uip

[buoyant isle]

thanks a lot sire I will plug that when i'm back having a really big render distance on this type of thing is really important for gamaplay,ty

[grim ore]

@paper ginkgocheck your task manager and event log in windows

[light thunder]

What do you mean? I am adding the nav mesh bounds volume to my streaming level

[worn peak]

strange

still lagged

[paper ginkgo]

alright so that worked but when i try and drag over i get this error LogAssetTools: Warning: Failed to import 'C:\Users\jdhey\OneDrive\Documents\Unreal Projects\ModularLowPolyRobots\Content\ModularLowPolyRobots\Meshes\RobotBodies\SM_BodyLarge_Type1.uasset'. Unknown extension 'uasset'.

[grim ore]

you need to copy the content from project to project, not importing

so in file explorer copy the folder you want from the directory it's in in the robot project into the same folder structure in your new project, then open the editor

[paper ginkgo]

hmmm okay i think ive got it

tyvm

someone can help me?

is a proyect of months

[drowsy snow]

Are you using the Water plugin?

[plush yew]

yes

[drowsy snow]

All bets are off.
It's still super experimental and super broken anyway.

[plush yew]

can i fix it?

[worthy oyster]

ive got a problem so i tried to import a model of my first car and its just insible and it just kills kinda the whole car

[drowsy snow]

For starters, don't use it.

[plush yew]

of course, in fact I had thought to buy a water

and i can remove it or something?

[drowsy snow]

Make sure the unit scaling is set to 0.01

(and scale existing object 100x)

[worthy oyster]

its bad to have it on 1 right?

[drowsy snow]

It's because an Unreal unit equates to centimetre, not a metre.
And no, changing Length to Centimetres won't do anything.

[worthy oyster]

oh wait found it

i cant move it and there arent textures on it and its all messed up....god its fustrating i think the reason its mostly seperated is bcs the loopcuts are too close to each other and its merging the mesh?

i think unreal hates me if i would do this

jep i wonder how this one is modeled

i can import it into blender

i pressed on export selected is this the right one?

@plush yew?

[plush yew]

?

[worthy oyster]

it worked but why are there so many?

dude this mesh makes no sense to me it looks so clean but its so weird

god unreal kills my blender knowledge already i want to press wasd to move around 😦

what are lods?

[light thunder]

This is your problem, probably - check in blender you essentially will have 4 "copies" of the mesh, each more detailed

depending on how you import them and merged in blender it can, well, fuck things up

highly suggest you get the unreal blender pipeline tool setup and working

[worthy oyster]

pipeline?

[light thunder]

pipeline is an industry term for the flow/path that game assets take ship

3D modeler builds a mesh, a texture artist applies materials to that mesh, a rigger sets up the mesh for animation, animator makes animation - but in this context, it's the way you get it from one program, like blender, into a game engine, like unreal

[worthy oyster]

the problem is if you are only one person you need to have a brain like 3 times the size

[light thunder]

Then don't do it, find something you enjoy doing

It's a lot to learn and you have to think about your WHY for doing it

[worthy oyster]

well... doing a game but i need to do that to make my games like rig a car a character and stuff

[light thunder]

Don't try to build a house in one go, you build it brick by brick

start small and just be patient

take a class like udemy or skillshare or youtube series

[worthy oyster]

same in blender but after 3 days of learning forgot the controlls of blender viewport is kinda lost right? 😄

[light thunder]

did you take a class on it?

[worthy oyster]

on what unreal or blender?

[light thunder]

or did you just poke your head in and try to do stuff? nothing wrong with that but you're going to have a harder time

[worthy oyster]

if you talk about blender i just go with it scince 2.83 i believe bcs as i saw 2.7 the first time with about 10 or 11 maybe 12 years old i just instantly quit and went back with the new user friendly environment tried modeling stuff and took a break like 1-2 years then im back again and idk how but got really got at modeling and did my first car few weeks ago (scroll up thre is it) and unreal is for now following a tutorial series on youtube and experiment with it like i did in blender

@light thunder

[tepid widget]

hey, I have a basic question in installing addons for blender for unreal.

[light thunder]

Highly recommend you take your time and just do a udemy course - you'll get through it in a few weeks but you'll cover so much ground

[worthy oyster]

udemy course?

[tepid widget]

I would like to install the blender tools, I have downloaded the github folder, however when installing the addons, the tutorial video selects a packed zip file. However the addon I am using is already a folder, not packed. And it is 3 .py files. so I am not sure how to install it.

[light thunder]

yes google it and the courses are like 10 or 20 bucks when they are on sale and they are on sale all the time

[worthy oyster]

well yeah thats a problem i dont have any budget

[light thunder]

Reach out to the instructor of one of the class, they might give you a class for free or even email udemy explaining it

because they want you to start using Udemy that way, they might just give you one for free

[ember geode]

Just select the folder instead of the zip

Or just repack it.

[worthy oyster]

for blender or unreal now?

[light thunder]

both ideally

if the instructors can't/won't give you one, then reach out to udemy themselves - in which case I'd recommend an unreal course as blender has probably more content that's less to do with programming, but it all depends

[hidden tendon]

Does anyone know what sort of settings to use for the new collider plugin in UE5? My results are pretty terrible so far, the ones in the Valley of the Ancient look much better that what I've come up with.

[tepid widget]

@plush yew thx

@plush yew is the link the latest version of it?

[fallow hornet]

I have a sequence setup with a camera cut on frame 1, frame 2, frame 3, and frame 4. When I render this out through mrq it is just rendering frame 1 over and over again. It will switch to the camera cut but bounce back to frame 1

[rancid lagoon]

you need to change that setting when you render it

[fallow hornet]

What is the setting that needs to be changed

[devout swift]

I was having an issue where UE was taking up 9GB of RAM. I discovered that this actually happens whenever I open the Window > Developer Tools > Session Frontend tab. Once I open that tab, UE's RAM usage goes from ~600MB to ~9GB. Does this happen for anyone else or just me?

If it's not just me, is there a way to stop Session Frontend from doing this? Once it goes up to 9GB RAM usage, it doesn't go back down even after I close the Session Frontend tab.

I use Session Frontend for automated testing but not really for CPU/RAM profiling so I don't need it do be running whatever it's running in the background that makes my RAM usage spike up to 9GB.

[rancid lagoon]

are you using movie render queue or the render in the sequencer?

[fallow hornet]

mrq

[rancid lagoon]

?

[fallow hornet]

Movie render queue

[rancid lagoon]

k

[fallow hornet]

it only occurs with anti-aliasing settings turned on

[rancid lagoon]

is this for in game footage?

[fallow hornet]

no

[rancid lagoon]

right before you render you can set how much you want to render (from what frame to what frame). It sets its self to 1-1 for some reason for me. You might want to check that. If that doesnt work then idk whats going on

[midnight ferry]

Just curious if anyone has experienced an issue were Event Begin Overlap only triggers one time, even if the actor overlaps multiple actors. I am guessing an actor that is overlapping cannot trigger event begin overlap on a second actor unless it is no longer overlapping the first?

[prime willow]

https://gyazo.com/483e52bc78e2c912b214c72d1bf9a604
My ik's are no where near what the tutorial loooks like for doing just as he intended

and i have no idea what to do to fix it xD

[rancid lagoon]

yes i have. i think there is a check box that says repeating or something??

[devout swift]

Ok maybe my issue with RAM can't be solved.
Could any kind soul try the following? I just want to confirm it's not just me...

• Open any project in UE
• Open the Window > Developer Tools > Session Frontend tab,
• Open Task Manager and see if UE's RAM usage goes up by several gigabytes after you open Session Frontend

[prime willow]

so my ram and gpu spiked after opening it

from 10% to 50% nearly on both

and im running a $4k rig o-o;

ryzen 3900 and the works

[midnight ferry]

I don't want it to trigger more than once but if my main actor steps on two objects I need it to register both, not just the first one touched. Wouldn't repeating mean kind of like on tick it keeps triggering?

[frozen pond]

i have sword actor that colides with my character body - how to proper set that to work ?

[devout swift]

oh wow, I see, thanks for trying. At least it's good to know it's not my PC or my UE installation that's messed up. Still, I wonder why that tab needs so much RAM 🤔

[rancid lagoon]

yeah. ive never had to do that yet so i dont know srry

[devout swift]

Do you guys think I should make a bug report that the Session Frontend tab is increasing RAM usage by 8GB? Maybe it has a memory leak? or is this intended behavior?

[worthy oyster]

i have a serius question where is the difference between watching a class and doing a tutorial where you do kind of the same?

Quick question to any developers experienced with local multiplayer features; any decals that have been spawned in my racing game (I have dropshadow decals under all of the racers to help with grounding them to the track) disappear in splitscreen mode except for in the latest spawned player's viewport. Is there an easily overlooked fix to this issue that I have missed in my efforts to fix it?

For example; if 4 players are playing, the dropshadows are not visible in the viewports of players 1-3, but work fine in player 4's viewport.

[dire parcel]

I am getting this freezing, any fix?

Somone knows how to exclude components from Apply Radial Damage?
I have some bigger Trigger Spheres on some actors, but they should not be considered for Apply Radial damage as hit. But they will. Documentation says, radial damage is only applied on component which blocks visibility channel. But this seems to be buggy or I miss something:
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/BlueprintAPI/Game/Damage/ApplyRadialDamagewithFalloff/
From Documentation: "Will only hit components that block the Visibility channel."
But it also hits sphere which are set to visibility ignore. Here a screenshot of collision setting of hit sphere.

[hidden tendon]

Look into object channels... maybe that will work

[tropic plinth]

of course, tried to set everything to ignore, still triggered. For me it seems "Apply Radial Damage with fall off" triggers damage on every actor which has query collision on

Hi there. I'm planning to switch to Unreal Engine from JME3, a java engine. I'm not that far in development, but I also want a Nintendo Switch release. Should I download UE4 or UE5?

UE4. UE5 is in early access and chalk full of bugs

what you learn in UE4 will transfer to UE5 anyway

UE5 is essentially the same thing, improved UI and additional features

Hello everyone, I need help very quickly - I need to finish my lab in 3 hours to pass it
But visual studio highlights red my code, almost all of it

And it has more than 100 mistakes

The code fragment

The main meme is that it worked on ue4 in someone's video, but doesn't work in eu5 when I try to compile it

What is the possible solution?

[light thunder]

I've noticed that for some reason none of this level's static meshes have simple collision - they DO have complex collision - I just want these AI to walk on them normally, so what is the most performant thing to do? just add a few box collisions to the mesh asset itself? or is there a simple toggle like use complex as simple but for AI?

(I'm also wondering if this is also causing nav mesh problems for me )

the mesh in question - you can see I've started to draw some simple box ones on it - but I wanted to check for other options before I redid all these assets

[fringe pivot]

@ember compass you could try posting an image where the code is actually visible, and the compiler output.

[drowsy snow]

If you are making a game that needs quick reskins and customization here is an ADVANCED workflow I've found and tested in my own project to get that done. You can make weapon or character skins SUPER FAST and do it DIRECTLY inside the engine! Heres the intro to the series!

when it comes to ground textures you can get away with just using 2k textures, since theyre going to be covered by grass meshes anyways.

hey

whats better

Making a complete 3d model of a house

or making each house asset separately

and then merging it inside the engine

[red herald]

i believe making a model is basically having to modify the model on the program meanwhile a house which each assets allow for more customization

and faster organization but = less performance

[signal bone]

Right

[red herald]

what are you doing Fellow troll

Lol

well im trying to make a 3d structure

just for practice and testing

when did this started hapening ?

[chrome beacon]

After I moved from an HDD to an SSD.

[red herald]

there might be a missing file then, something didn't load up correctly and the error says it

[chrome beacon]

I made an exact copy using the same directory/filespath, 4.26 went reinstalled by downloading it all again

[red herald]

ok do this

go into the original directory

copy the specific missing file

[chrome beacon]

I did a verification from the launcher and all looked fine

but if the log says something

it might be that

don't always be sure

at this point i suggest you to check correctly for any missing file and carefully reading the log

Hey Fal can you help me out with textures?

[red herald]

sure

[chrome beacon]

I goggled that but got no resolutive result

[red herald]

well i did the same now and you're right

let me help for a second stolas and i'll be back to you

[signal bone]

im making this brick texture and idk how to make a bumpoffset and texture world aligned at the same time

[chrome beacon]

Alright

thanks

[lusty kite]

How do i use the water plugin?

[red herald]

send a screens stolas

[chrome beacon]

I'm so out of any other option by now...

[signal bone]

search it on the engine and drag drop it to the scene

[red herald]

a bump map is what makes it look like 3D ?

[signal bone]

ok i have this for the base color

[lusty kite]

And where do i search it on the entire engine?

[signal bone]

this makes so the texture infinitely repeats itself

[signal bone]

first plugins, and check if you have it enable then on place actors

[lusty kite]

I tried that, couldnt find it.

[signal bone]

and then i have this for bumpoffset

[red herald]

go in plugins and you'll find it, enable it and then on the place actor section there must be the entities of the plugin

mmhhh

[lusty kite]

Cant find it tho

[signal bone]

but i cant connect the bumpoffset to the basecolor because its using a texture object

[red herald]

ok stolas

mmmhhh..

hold on let me find a tutorial for yo

you

[lusty kite]

Its enabled for me

[red herald]

then restart UE

and it should work

[lusty kite]

This is the whole list

[signal bone]

had you restarted your engine

[lusty kite]

Already restarted after installing the plugin

[signal bone]

after enabling it

[lusty kite]

Yes

[signal bone]

weird

maybe the version of your ue4?

[lusty kite]

4.26.2

[red herald]

check in volumes

[lusty kite]

Where are volumes?

[red herald]

brb, taking a juice

[signal bone]

Fal dm me the tutorial btw

[lusty kite]

Where can i find this menu?

[signal bone]

here

[lusty kite]

Ok

[signal bone]

if you cant see it

go to window > place actors

[red herald]

ok back

[lusty kite]

Yup found it. Thx!

[red herald]

so stolas you want to put bumpmap into a looping texture

let's see if i can find something on youtube for your needs

[signal bone]

yes

i found both things but separately

so idk how to merge them

[red herald]

well

follow one and then the other

[signal bone]

uhm

but i cnat connect them both

[red herald]

mmhhh

hold on

[red herald]

there now it works alpha

don't use custom tho

use the others

[signal bone]

also, put your ligthing in movable so you dont have to constantly rebuilt light

[lusty kite]

Others make a huge mess

[red herald]

stolas

don't actually textures loop by default ?

or is custom ?

[signal bone]

idk waht youre saying

[red herald]

did you made this texture ?

[signal bone]

uh, if i drew the texture? yes

[red herald]

then you gotta draw it in a way which looks like it loops

and use bump map alone

[signal bone]

i know

But worldaligned texture makes it so it never stretches

when i scale stuff

[red herald]

anyway you can connect multiple nodes to one

[azure ridge]

So i'm using Add Movement Input to move my character in the direction they are facing. I've got them going at a good speed, but the problem is then the direction makes an immediate 180, there's this "inertia" that has to be overcome to start moving that direction. Is there any way to avoid this?

[signal bone]

not if they dont relate

[red herald]

can you show me the entire BP of the texture in DM ?

[lusty kite]

Added river and it doesnt load

[red herald]

the water textures aren't loaded yet

[lusty kite]

So i gotta wait?

[red herald]

yup

I was thinking about reinstalling the Android part...

the download would take quite a long time

[red herald]

what is your project about ?

never heard of this android part

are you making a mobile game ?

[chrome beacon]

I'm just valuating various assets

[red herald]

was it a lot of work ?

[chrome beacon]

I've got several ideas for different games but I'm also learning, so it's hard to say where I am right now

[red herald]

at this make a new project

since you had to change from hdd to sdd

probably corrupt data

and start over

with the knowledge you have now you can recover quickly

[chrome beacon]

a mobile game is one of the options but not mandatory, that's why I had no problem uninstalling the Android platform but didn't fix the issue so I really dunno at this point

I started a new project but also new projects get the same result

[red herald]

reinstall UE ?

[lucid grove]

I cant figure out why my characters ai move to gets aborted

The thing is - if i disable On Fail node - its moving just fine

[red herald]

what the hell is this

[chrome beacon]

I did...I had no alternative... the launcher didn't recognized the installation I moved there from the old drive

so I had to let it do its own thing reinstalling it

[red herald]

@chrome beacon , at this point wait for some Hi-tech guy and ask him

[chrome beacon]

took ages

[red herald]

Check Export settings inside Bridge. If you already have some assets that have only LOD5, delete them and re-export

[lunar garnet]

theres no place for the export settings

[dry latch]

my gamemode doesn't change when I switch level, even tho I set overite on both of thoses levels..

[drowsy snow]

Bridge in UE5 is quite deep, you don't need an export button.

[inland flicker]

Are materials supposed to govern material instances? Like a "Wood" material should handle all "Wood" instances such as Birch, Oak, Elm, etc.?

[drowsy snow]

Depends on how you setting up the material and sampling the textures.

I'm trying to set up 2 different types of wood, with 2 different types of footstep SFX. Is there any way to manage this with instances or should I just make two separate materials like Wood1 and Wood2?

[drowsy snow]

Physical materials can be set independently in the instance or in individual materials.

UE5 is working fine, my issue it's an UE4 issue, here why I'm even more confused about all this

I have, installed, UE4.6.2 and UE5EA engines

When using UE4 all the projects give that error

the first that happened it was related to HoloLens, so I installed HoloLens and at that point the same error, but related to Android this time, came up.

In both cases they refer to a missing valid GlobalIdentifier set in DataDrivenPlatformInfo.ini

Ensure you GPU and other drivers are up to date.

Downclock your GPU if you are overclocking.
Check your Power Supply to ensure it is outputting enough power to handle high demand applications.

Hey everyone! Super random, but I'm trying to put together a wall running system, but I've run into a roadblock with regards to the rotations and lining them up with anims! I've got the major parts of the system all figured out, but I'm having troubles with figuring out how to deal with rotations, and in particular, whether the player should be perpendicular to the wall, or 'on' the wall as if it is the player's new 'ground' - sorry for the vague descriptions, it's hard to describe the rotations through text! I'll link a video of what I'm trying to achieve, and the two types of rotations that I'm describing - not too sure if the system I'm trying to replicate switches between both rotations, or sticks with just one
