ohhhh

hmm I see

thank you for help!

appreciate your time

[maiden sundial]

Hope it really helps xD

[simple ember]

I'll try my best

ye me too

[fallow elk]

anybody know why my texture is importing this way with errors? it was working fine before when I tested it and closed my engine now it's freakin out.

it's meant to look like this

[maiden sundial]

I think this is usually used for controller where the axis value can be anything between 0.0-1.0 unlike with keyboards where it's only either 0.0 or 1.0.
So if you only move your controller slightly up you can walk with half of the speed rather than going with the full speed

[orchid lodge]

Ive gotten too the line thats causing it I think

But my brains completely fried

[fallow elk]

lil help with my import issue? anybody? anybody at all :/

[maiden sundial]

It might be cuz you are not setting it up to use alpha values which would show the background as transparent

[fallow elk]

tell me how to fix that please. when I open the texture it looks perfectly fine and I can change the settings but it when applying it I still get these box cut outs

[maiden sundial]

I'm really not experienced with textures, i can only guide you to those 3 settings where you have to play a bit to find the ones you need

[fallow elk]

that doesn't fix it.

[maiden sundial]

I don't mean to use those values, i mean you have to change those till you found the ones which will fix it

[fallow elk]

I use vector displacement, no mipmaps, and nearest for my settings but the issue is when I open UE4 (again, the first time it was absolutely fine but I closed the project as it was just a test session) and when I opened it up again with the texture there it had those cutouts.

creating the resized texture again and importing doesn't fix this either

[maiden sundial]

@fallow elk You might have a better chance to get help in #graphics tho

[solar inlet]

Im following this tutorial https://learn.unrealengine.com/course/2814930/module/5839218?moduletoken=UHxxnDLPW8S3uMevszqlI3OHATryQMiI5XdhAy7p4exQ8qcIWoZqaa8JWIKsVoqk&LPId=0

but my weapon doesnt shoot?

I notice he uses a fucking controller instead of a keyboard

but i thought he said it would work for keyboard aswell

[vagrant hornet]

Why doesn’t Minecraft grass tile

[solar inlet]

oh nevermind guys i fixed it

[vagrant hornet]

This is the texture they use

What method do they use to stop tiling?

[supple crag]

Hello everyone, i'm kinda new to ue4 with c++. I was working on a tower defense game only with blueprints but wanted to try remaking it with c++ AND blueprints. Right now i'm working on the basics and I am trying to spawn a Blueprint Actor from my c++ class but ue4 always crashes with the following error message:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x000000000000040c

UE4Editor_Engine
UE4Editor_Engine
UE4Editor_Engine
UE4Editor_Engine
UE4Editor_Engine
UE4Editor_Engine
UE4Editor_Engine
UE4Editor_TDNew_2641!AWaveHandler::Tick() [D:\Unreal Projects\TDNew\Source\TDNew\Private\WaveHandler.cpp:34]

Is the way I'm trying to spawn my actor completely wrong? Could someone give me a tip on how to solve this issue?

What about something like "5 (+10) = 15"
I know this from other games and the brackets kind of make it obvious to me that it is just a bonus and not the base value

It's small but effective. At least that's what i feel

[plush yew]

Is there a way I could make it so my characters max walk speed starts slow and gets faster

[maiden sundial]

Yeah, i think i can live with that, thanks 😄

[supple crag]

@plush yew your actor should have a Character Movement Component and you could just set the max walk speed

[plush yew]

I want it to gradually increase whilst holding shift, so it goes up

[supple crag]

And if you want to increase it over time you could use the event tick

Then just check for the key press and if shift is hold down add to the max walk speed

[solar inlet]

how do i fix so the Character moves with my mouse and not the camera as you see on the video

[plush yew]

wont that just make it so it go instantly to max walk speed?

how cn i fix this error

[maiden sundial]

Yeah, there is already a built-in option for this in the CharacterMovementComponent

The variable is called Max Acceleration. The default value is 2048,0 (Not sure why this value tho xD).
If you lower it you'll start slower till you reach the max walk speed value

[supple crag]

Oh damn than my effort is wasted xD

Was thinking about something like this

[plush yew]

Does that work?

[supple crag]

This should increase movement speed every second by 1 while shift is hold

I didnt test it

Just thrown it together

[plush yew]

I'll give it a go

[supple crag]

Just like a general concept

[plush yew]

alright

[supple crag]

You should definitly clamp the max walk speed

[maiden sundial]

I was also not sure if there was a built-in thing for it till i searched it.
I also only searched it cuz i can't believe that UE doesn't provide a solution for this xD

[supple crag]

Cause it would increase indefinitly if you just keep holding shift

[plush yew]

How do I add more options to Event Tick? I can't reuse it

[supple crag]

What exactly do you mean by that?

Like you already have code running on event tick?

[plush yew]

yeah lmao

[supple crag]

Add custom events for every "method" you wanna run and just make them run after each other

Dont know if events are the best thing for this cause i think they might run in parrallel if they are events

Maybe need to make them as functions instead

And remember event tick runs every frame

So if you do all those things every frame it could get quite heavy on your performance

[plush yew]

It breaks my lightning

[quasi radish]

So stuff like landscapes and textures would be generally what a graphics designer would do?

[plush yew]

It works, How would i make it go up faster?

[light thunder]

Can someone advise why this doesn't seem to have an effect, though it is activating

[plush yew]

show everything

[light thunder]

This is an event that exists on a particle effect, and I wanted it to slow down without editing the particle itself

Ah, I think my actor is not affected by global time dilation

[plush yew]

Why do i get this error when i duplicate the level?

[glass raft]

hi all so I tried to use DMX plugin, the plugin seems work, but it's should be have template content while mine doesn't have after enabling the plugin. why does this happened? I use unreal 4.26.2. already try to create the project in other directory and drive, use both unreal and unreal for aximmetry but none help.
or anyone can help me to upload these template maybe?, thank you

[grim ore]

where do you see it should have template content? @glass raft

[glass raft]

the SS is from UE web, also tutorial vid have that also

[ember vortex]

anybody know why my grass is being placed beneath my landscape ?

[light thunder]

How do I ensure an actor is affected by global time dialation? currently it doesn't appear to be

[grim ore]

@glass raftso you want that screenshot? that is in the engine content for the plugin. do you have show engine content turned on?

[solar inlet]

Is there a tutorial or guide where you load music on interaction?

like for example clicking E on a radio box to activate music

[grim ore]

somewhere probably, or just break it down to what you just said. Make interact. play music.

so find out how to make interact. find out how to play music.

[solar inlet]

but idk the blueprint codes

[grim ore]

you wont know them until you learn them

[solar inlet]

and is there a specific guide to this?

[grim ore]

im sure there are guides for both on google and the official documentation site

[solar inlet]

but i searched "Load music on interaction UE4"

didnt find?

[glass raft]

thanks alot really help me 😋

[grim ore]

because you didnt listen to what I said

look for ue4 interaction with object

then look for play music

then put them together

[solar inlet]

ok?

Im gonna find radio box asset

[fierce tulip]

iow, try to find a tutorial on how to interact with an object
then try to find a tutorial on how to play music
then combine what you learned :)

[solar inlet]

yeah but the problem is that idk how to combine them

like idk the special code for that

[grim ore]

you wont until you learn it

and you dont seem to want to learn, just do

[solar inlet]

ok ok i will do interaction with object

i just need to download the 3d object of a radiobox

[grim ore]

you dont, you dont need to download anything to learn

[solar inlet]

?

[grim ore]

you can interact with a box

[solar inlet]

no i said i will download a 3d object of a radiobox

@grim oreI was planning putting Chopin nocturne

I will come back if i have problem

[quiet token]

ANSER MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[fierce tulip]

O_o

[solar inlet]

@fierce tulipare you good developer?

[fierce tulip]

i'd like to think I am

[solar inlet]

nice

i am upcoming developer

[regal marsh]

Hi, could you please give some advice, are Lightning Scenarios good for something, like world lightning changes, like changes from day to night when the story goes forward? Are there any other better variants to do it?

[tidal jewel]

Hey, just wanting to confirm that chaos cloth simulation blocks morph targets from working and that I'm not just doing something incorrectly?

[grim ore]

@regal marshwell the docs page for Lighting Scenarios has the first example captioned with "In the above image; the Directional Light, Sky Light, and Skybox have been placed in a Lighting Scenario level called Day Scenario. The Spotlights for the streetlights have been placed in a different Lighting Scenario level called Night Scenario."

[solar inlet]

Why the frick is my radiobox white

it supposed to have colors

[regal marsh]

Didn't read docs, oops. Thanks for answer!

[solar inlet]

@grim oresorry if it takes time but this stupid radio box fbx assets

they are just white

no material

[grim ore]

yep

thats normal

[solar inlet]

how do i fix them then?

[grim ore]

you edit the material that was made when you imported and set it up to use the textures

[fierce tulip]

you might wanna go over some getting started content. check the pinned messages to find some good stuff to learn the basics to ue4

[grim ore]

all of this is covered in the introductory videos that Epic created for people to learn the engine

[solar inlet]

@grim oreno like the material is white

[grim ore]

yep

[solar inlet]

wdym yep?

[grim ore]

I mean yep, that is correct, its supposed to be white

you need to fix it

[tidal jewel]

He means, yes, the white material makes sense and his advice is still applicable, additionally, that information is covered in the videos (I assume).

[regal marsh]

You can make materials and make them look how you want. But materials won't know what you want them to look like. Open material and change it

[solar inlet]

@grim oreok, sure how?

[grim ore]

fbx generally dont have the texture data associated with it, so when you import it the engine has no idea what to do with the pretty pictures so it makes a default white material for it. Its up to the developer to create the correct material for that object

[solar inlet]

oh but i thought it was gonna come with the fbx thing

do i download another file type?

[regal marsh]

No

[grim ore]

nope, you learn how the engine works and fix it

[fierce tulip]

@solar inlet imma point to the getting started content in this channels pinned messages one more time.

[solar inlet]

@fierce tulipwhat am i gonna do in starter content?

[regal marsh]

Did you ever watched introduction tutorials by Epic? They explain a lot of things for very beginners

[solar inlet]

I have watched Mathews video

[fierce tulip]

you'll learn how to use the engine so you dont have to ask us the really basic stuff.

[solar inlet]

I know kinda how it works but im trying to import fbx to ue4

but the material is white, its not supposed to be white

In the site it says that texture and materials are in

https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/electronics/audio/old-radio-7984f2a9-9b08-4b3b-b732-3a969eed32a9

here

[regal marsh]

It is attached to model

[solar inlet]

yes but when i import it to ue4, its not

[regal marsh]

But model itself doesnt have data about textures to import

You should import textures by your hand

And then set them in material

[solar inlet]

it gives me both material and the radio box?

[buoyant granite]

:clock2: SamuraiTom#5078 was muted for 10 hours.

[fierce tulip]

oh, that should have been 1 hour XD

[regal marsh]

Ooops XD

Dude, go learn engine in the web, there are a lot of stuff you can find

[buoyant granite]

:arrow_right_hook: SamuraiTom#5078 was unmuted.

:clock2: SamuraiTom#5078 was muted for 1 hour.

[regal marsh]

You don't understand even the most basic things, you should go and watch some stuff about basics

Idk, google Blender to Unreal pipeline in YouTube

[tidal jewel]

The gist of it is that you will need to import the base texture, roughness texture, and metallic texture, go into the material, right click, type in texture sample, click it, then put the textures into the texture samples and connect them to their associated pins. If you watch a tutorial you'll get more robust and accurate information.

[buoyant granite]

:triangular_flag_on_post: SamuraiTom#5078 received strike 1. As a result, they were muted for 10 minutes.

[tidal jewel]

Oh n/m, I see he was muted.

[regal marsh]

I just lost my job...

Now my time to ask stupid questions. How to speedup Swarm light baking?

[fierce tulip]

better cpu?

[grim ore]

more and better cpu's, or use less lights, or use more important lights!

[regal marsh]

Ryzen 5 3600, i know i can get better, but at this point moment anything better will force me to sell kidney

[fierce tulip]

i'd just read something while its swarming then, and make sure there isnt running anything else in the bg so cpu can focus on one thing

[regal marsh]

I guess it's the only variant...

[grim ore]

cant change the cpu, use less lights and make sure the important lights are important

[fierce tulip]

lighting importance volumes also help

[regal marsh]

I can play a bit with lights, yes, there are bunch of lights i can remove and make important lights. I will try tomorrow to optimize it all

[regal marsh]

Yep, i use them, because before most of time were spent lightning backgrounds player won't ever see

[solar inlet]

I told you guys, it just turns white?

its on its normal texture then after clicking, it turns white

how is that my fault?

you guys need to understand the person who wants help instead of jumping on them

[buoyant granite]

:clock2: SamuraiTom#5078 was muted for 5 minutes.

[fierce tulip]

ffs me and miliseconds

[buoyant granite]

:warning: That user is already muted.

[fierce tulip]

slaps manny

[grim ore]

ugh, we cant try and help him if he isnt here lol

[fierce tulip]

he got unmuted because a non-related strike unmuted him

[plush yew]

Every time I change the visibility on this image it just goes back to hidden

[grim ore]

so the bot unmuted him early lol?

[plush yew]

Big pain

[fierce tulip]

yea, bug reported it

[grim ore]

welp hopefully he calms down when he gets back so we can explain it

but... it does come down to not understanding how the engine works which we keep trying to get them to learn more about 😦

[fierce tulip]

well, since muting is in miliseconds I miswrote a zero, so instead of an additional 50 minutes he got muted for 5 minutes

but instead of learning the basics in that hour, he just posts the problem he had before, instead of learning

[grim ore]

mm... I cant blame him completely, this is a weird one.. but yeah learning a bit more about how materials works might help understand it

[fierce tulip]

well, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt, you have more patience than I have for sure :)

[plush yew]

how would I make a "Sonicboom" when my character goes at a certain speed?

[fierce tulip]

refraction/boom effect

[grim ore]

Answer requires more data

[plush yew]

I wanna do something like this

[grim ore]

check out the permanent free collection on the marketplace for some particle effects that might be similar then modify it? or uh.. read the docs about niagara or cascade

[barren coyote]

Hi, looking for a pointer in the right direction, I have a flying character, and I want to project an image on the ground directly under where it is flying, and have the image show on any other actors it fly's over as well, a decal attached to the character will do this, is that the right way or is there a better way?

[grim ore]

sounds like a good way to do it

[barren coyote]

cool, thanks 😄

[grim ore]

a light projector could be another way

[barren coyote]

what do you mean by light projector? I'm newish to UE

[solar inlet]

ok guys i fixed the issue

[grim ore]

projecting a texturing using lights, its some math and material work but its an option. I think decal might be the easiest

[solar inlet]

ok mathew i will do the interaction object

[barren coyote]

yea, I just watch a quick tutorial on doing it with lights, thanks for the help

[regal marsh]

Yep, i fixed it, mostly. So, you gotta learn a way more about engine, actually. I would recommend to start not from Unreal Slackers, but from tutorials at the web

It's just not very nice to explain basics to everyone

[frosty wedge]

Hi all, I'm currently practicing doing my own version of sound effects and music for the Infiltrator Tech Demo that was released a hot minute ago. I'm just wondering if anyone could help me understand how to render this out? I'm wanting to render it in 4K, I just don't seem to be able to find how to render it, aside from just clicking play.

[solar inlet]

Yeah. I've been planning tomorrow that I will pickup the radio and use the item inspection system and then it would blur the background

It would be very cool @regal marsh

[regal marsh]

Cool what?

[grim ore]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/AnimatingObjects/Sequencer/Workflow/RenderAndExport/RenderMovies/ @frosty wedge

[solar inlet]

Like implementing item inspection system? Then it would do background blur where it also plays the music at the same time

[grim ore]

the issue is I think infiltrator is still using matinee which isnt really supported anymore

the infiltrator docs page has some info https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/Resources/Showcases/Infiltrator/, you might need to get an older version of the engine so you can have access to the matinee system

[frosty wedge]

@grim ore Ohhhh maybe maybe, yeah that's probably it!! I have made many movie renders in UE, so i'm pretty knowledgeable with the process, but this one I can't seem to track down it's cameras or cuts.. Great suggestion and appreciate the links dude!! Let me do some digging, see what I can come up with.

[grim ore]

if your opening it in a new version that would be it, matinee "works" but the actual editor is basically not usable anymore

[frosty wedge]

Absolutely!! And I wasn't around during the Matinee period, so I didn't consider that.. Thank you for bringing light to that

[regal marsh]

I thought matinee was last seen in UE3... I'm newbie

[grim ore]

it was actually not replaced until 4.24

technically you could try the conversion tool but... I've never tried it lol https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/AnimatingObjects/Sequencer/HowTo/MatineeConversionTool/

[frosty wedge]

Yeah I'm onto this conversion tool now, reading this doc

see if I can do something with it.

[grim ore]

fun fact, in the shootergame project the rotating city hologram actually uses matinee to just rotate it in a circle lol

[frosty wedge]

no kidding, that is a fun fact!! How rad

[regal marsh]

I somehow missed the UE3 era. At the moment of UDK public release, i were spending a lot of time learning different new game engines, after old school game modding were replaced by Unity, CryEngine, UDK, Source, which were allowing you to make whole new level games.

[frosty wedge]

Okay so that conversion worked like a charm!! I turned it into a level sequence and it added all the camera cuts and relevant assets. Awesome!

[grim ore]

nice!

[frosty wedge]

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction @grim ore

[regal marsh]

Okay

[buoyant granite]

:no_entry_sign: prxsma#9789 was banned.

[regal marsh]

What the hell lol

[gaunt abyss]

🤷‍♂️

[regal marsh]

Hahaha, idk what should happen in human's brain...

🧐 👍

[eternal basin]

All I heard was something about balls haha

[regal marsh]

To be honest it's first time i see this guy

But his rage was like if moderators would murder his family...

[opal cedar]

Guys, does anyone know what to do if your bridge just stop downloading for like a day already?

I've downloaded it once before and eventually it was in the wrong drive so I've deleted the application. Maybe there are leftover files from that?

[regal marsh]

Maybe. You also could run installer as administrator if it's not already

Also you should try rebooting PC, removing leftover files with some utilities, and maybe clean cache

Also try to change destination

How did you uninstalled wrong one?

[plush yew]

on ue4 widgets how do I rescale everything at once without moving progress bars or distorting the images?

[opal cedar]

Don't know where they are right now

[opal cedar]

Emmm, dragging it into the recycling bin

[upbeat flower]

does epic online services host multiplayer server for free for us?

[opal cedar]

Nvm, it's working

[opal cedar]

Eventually I have to unzip the application which I did not know before. Yet in that unzipped files there's a uninstall application

[dapper oak]

should i have a delegate call like this DiscMesh->OnComponentHit.AddDynamic(this, &APlayerDisc::DiscHit); on initialise or on BeginPlay?

[chilly geyser]

Hey everyone! My client gave me a vehicle skeletal mesh that is 25% too big. Can I just export the skeletal mesh as FBX to 3ds Max scale it to 75%, export FBX and in UE4 mesh "Reimport Base Mesh" or is there something im missing? When I tried, the vehicle floated above the ground!

Should I just tell him I need the modeller to fix it?

[river mirage]

does someone knows what is that unaccounted thing? it's killing my game performance

[pure galleon]

Hi, may I ask is there tutorial or someone can tell me how to export specific levels?

[winter wedge]

whyyyyyyyy

[plush yew]

You might be able to migrate levels to another project but you'll need assets from said project as well

[plush yew]

Google the error code someone on a Forum probably knows the answer

[pure galleon]

so after i migrate, i should click export all or package the project?

[plush yew]

You should be able to just scale it than reimport like the first time

Worst case scenario use unreal engine scale to shrink it and right click align/snap it to floor or desired away

[winter wedge]

i checked

[plush yew]

When migration make sure to take all relevant assets or you'll have errors and loose ends

[pure galleon]

i didnt bother n let them all in, so should be fine i guess

i know the file might be so big yeah

[plush yew]

I think our c+ channel would be best for that stuff iirc

[plush yew]

You can always back track and remove stuff unrelated to the level over time or reuse the assets

[plush yew]

What did you find?

[chilly geyser]

Ok, Ive tried that and everything is almost perfect, except the mesh is hovering above the ground. Perhaps its the physics mesh that needs to be re-made?

[winter wedge]

nothing relevant

[plush yew]

Right click the mesh go to transforms and snap/align to whereever you want it

Be it floors walls etc

[plush yew]

^ if that doesn't work check the blueprint for actors or components/physic to see if those are working as hedges above ground

Also it could be your meshes collision presets

Using ignore check box for whatever blockage or object below typically fixes floating objects in runtime

[plush yew]

Honestly I'm still learning unreal so fixing errors like that is difficult for me however there's barely any context laid out to what the error did, what happened before it was caused , and what you've tried to fix it

Any or aught else would help drastically ^^;

[winter wedge]

importing fbx?

that's it basically

[plush yew]

Mesh or?

[winter wedge]

only meshes

[plush yew]

And to unreal correct?

[winter wedge]

yeah

[plush yew]

Do you have a backup stored?

[winter wedge]

backup for what

[plush yew]

Your project...

[winter wedge]

it's empty

[plush yew]

Ah oki

[winter wedge]

lol

[plush yew]

So just starting right?

[winter wedge]

yep

[plush yew]

Thank goodness

Word of advice always back up your project bi weekly or whenever you have made strives and its stable as heck

I lost 8 months of work because I was dumb :3

[winter wedge]

oh damn

thats kinda sad

[plush yew]

Yup

I was new to all this and trying to learn Anyways do you know which fbx causes the crash?

Or is it all of them?

[winter wedge]

the fbx is too big

[plush yew]

How large is the fbx?

[winter wedge]

and there's many objects

like 115 mb

[plush yew]

My models are 300mb or more iirc

[plush yew]

Perhaps its because you're importing multiple objects at once

[winter wedge]

so i should combine meshes or something?

would be my guess

[plush yew]

Have you tried separating the meshes into separate pieces and importing them 1 by 1

Or combine them if you like

[winter wedge]

i've tried earlier

split into 4

still crashes on the first one

then i hadn't had time to split them again

[plush yew]

And does each piece have separate rigs?

[winter wedge]

takes too much time

no rigs

[plush yew]

Just meshes

o .o

[winter wedge]

yea

[plush yew]

Weird xD

Hmm

[winter wedge]

yeah idk

i'm trying to import by dragging and dropping now so

if it crashes then i'll have to do something else

[plush yew]

Wait

Click green button or right click

Than press import

Than pick your file you setup

[winter wedge]

yeah i did that earlier

which caused the crash

[plush yew]

Didn't work?

Oof

[winter wedge]

now i try drag and drop into content browser to see if ti works that way

[plush yew]

Sure x3

[winter wedge]

it's probably not the ram usage that's causing this though

it was more earlier

by more i mean 3 gb or osmething i don't recall

[plush yew]

Well if your pc can handle the load being a pc hopefully that has the specs for unreal you should be fine

[winter wedge]

it kinda does?

[plush yew]

Have you tried importing something smaller like a cube

[winter wedge]

my ram is the only downside

yeah

i have imported many

[plush yew]

Ah

[winter wedge]

it seems like the problem is when objects are too many

where my 8 gb ram falls short or something i'd guess

[plush yew]

Than it might be a processer issue x3

[winter wedge]

my cpu is alright i guess

4600h

[plush yew]

o.o

[winter wedge]

i suspect my ram

[plush yew]

I've honestly never heard or unreal crashing on imports

[winter wedge]

but ram usage isn't even that much now

compared to it being 1.8gb earlier

[plush yew]

How much ram do you have?

[winter wedge]

8

gig

[plush yew]

8 should be fine for importing iirc

[winter wedge]

well let's see, also thanks

stuff like this irritating

[plush yew]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/Basics/RecommendedSpecifications/

You should be fine ^

You're welcome its the least I can do :>

[winter wedge]

ah glad to hear

i'm in the recommended hardware area

[plush yew]

Yush

I wish you the best of luck my samoyed wants to nap
If you still have issues try around morning to afternoon and someone should be around to help

[winter wedge]

thx

take it easy

[supple crag]

@plush yew with my blueprint you just add 1 to the max Walk speed. If you want to make it faster just change the value in the + node right before the Set max walk speed

[barren coyote]

hi, how can I determine if a level has fully loaded?

[surreal eagle]

how do i see where the top of a object is

in world space

pls dm me this

[dapper oak]

Im trying to package my project but i keep getting PackagingResults: Error: extra qualification on member "*InsertFunctionNameHere*". What does this mean and how can I fix it?

[lapis tulip]

can you provide complete log

[lapis tulip]

GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition??

waht is that ?

UVRGripComponent* AVRPawn::GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition(UMotionControllerComponent* MotionController) const;

this function is buggy

[dapper oak]

its a function with a return type of UVRGripComponent which is a custom class that I have in a plugin

[lapis tulip]

are you using serialization ?

[dapper oak]

not really sure what that is so im guessing no

this is you error

Error: extra qualification on member 'GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition'

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5642367/extra-qualification-error-in-c

and try to build on Android (ASTC)

[dapper oak]

Oh lol i must have accidentally left the class when copying the function from cpp to h file. And I was building on ASTC

thanks for the help!

[dapper oak]

I've removed the AVRPawn:: from UVRGripComponent* GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition(const UMotionControllerComponent* MotionController) const; yet everytime i compile its still showing UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): G:/Game Development/Unreal Projects/Project Files/DiscWar/Plugins/BaseVirtualReality/Source/BaseVirtualReality/Public\VRPawn.h(75,29): error: extra qualification on member 'GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition' UATHelper: Packaging (Android (ASTC)): UVRGripComponent* AVRPawn::GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition(const UMotionControllerComponent* MotionController) const; even though that line isnt even like that anymore. I've tried to generate vs solution and saving and pushing to git but it keeps saying the line hasnt changed...

[lapis tulip]

did you remove bineries and intermediates

[supple crag]

Could someone please take a look at this problem I have with spawning an Actor using c++? Kinda stuck and dont know how to fix this

[lapis tulip]

and saved also

[dapper oak]

ill give that a try

[lapis tulip]

which problem ?

[supple crag]

The one I answered to^^

I already posted it like 12 hours ago but no one responded so i just linked to it instead of completely copying it

[lapis tulip]

TSubclassOf<UDamageType> DamageType;

create you like this

and then spawn actor as normal

and first check you find the world

also send me crash

[dapper oak]

just deleted them, regenerated solution and still getting the same error

[lapis tulip]

this is my property UPROPERTY(EditDefaultsOnly, Category="Team Base") TSubclassOf<ATeamFlagBase> BlueTeamFlagBasePreset;

and spawned like this TeamFlagBase = GetWorld()->SpawnActor<ATeamFlagBase>(BlueTeamFlagBasePreset, SpawnLocation, FRotator::ZeroRotator);

@supple crag

let me know if its enough

[lapis tulip]

error in editor or vs

[dapper oak]

editor when packaging

[lapis tulip]

and you remove the code ?

[dapper oak]

yep

[lapis tulip]

are you usiing plugin ?

[dapper oak]

i changed UVRGripComponent* AVRPawn::GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition(const UMotionControllerComponent* MotionController) const; to UVRGripComponent* GetGripComponentNearMotionControllerGripPosition(const UMotionControllerComponent* MotionController) const; yet its still saying it is the first

yeah

its a custom plugin i made

[lapis tulip]

did you remove binaries and intermediate from there aslo

[dapper oak]

that might help

[lapis tulip]

you must be using this function some where else i think

and you should try by disabling this plugin to make sure where is the problem

[dapper oak]

the only place that function gets called is in that specific class (and any children) so i'm not sure what might be conflicting

[lapis tulip]

log is still same?

[dapper oak]

it seems to be working now

i made it a non const function

even though rider is telling me it should be const

which is kinda annoying

[plush yew]

cant figure out why I get this error

anyone have a clue?

[drowsy snow]

Something something AI Controller

[plush yew]

oh good thanks 😛

figured it out, twas in the wrong BP

[hard escarp]

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to create the desired path of a projectile?

[bright arch]

so you want your projectile to travel from the release point to the camera first, and then to the target?

[hard escarp]

Not precisely, ultimately I want the projectile to be as accurate as possible, which I feel like having it travel down the line of sight is ideal. The issue is for visual continuity it may launch from other locations, like the characters hands.

So I'm trying to basically travel to an intersect point

I might just spawn two projectiles and toggle visibility on one and destroy the other at a point but that seems like it would be hard

[bright arch]

so basically, you want your particle to travel along your aim offset trajectory, but to the target visible from the camera, right?

[hard escarp]

Here's an example of the problem I have

of course the blast is going to go straight into the rock

but for good gameplay I feel like it needs to not

and travel to the target

[bright arch]

hm, I am not sure of that

you need a first person camera to mitigate that problem

if you would like to have that anyway, you could change the collision behaviour of the particle

[hard escarp]

Im sure there are several solutions

[bright arch]

*projectile I mean of course

[drowsy snow]

For comparison, GTA V doesn't accurately do the bullet trace from the physical location of the gun.

But it's your call to be that accurate.

[hard escarp]

yeah exactly, thats easy except for when you're firing slower magic projectiles

I think I might just do the two particles and have them switch in mid air

[modest agate]

i can't rebuild the lights at runtime, that means i need to switch to moveable lights when i use generated tiles?

[bright arch]

@hard escarp have you thought of a cast animation that brings the magic projectile in line with the camera and then shoots it?

[drowsy snow]

I'd just screw accuracy and give a bit of tolerance to get the projectile go through.

I'm developing an action RPG and I cheated a lot. To hell with physical accuracy if magic existed. Though I used over the shoulder camera as opposed to center camera.

[hard escarp]

Yeah, and trying to get the camera as close as possible, the problem still exists and it really limits the types of animations you can use.

meh, I'm a very competitive person, I like precision tools

most games do that though for sure

[bright arch]

you could also send your collision sphere along the line of sight, but offset your mesh without collision to the trace from the physical location

I am not sure, though, if that doesn't confuse players

[hard escarp]

yeah, thought about that too, might work to some extent

[drowsy snow]

Except that the competition give a bit of tolerance when it comes to this.

But hey, it's your project, not mine. If I were the director, I'd just not let the magic to be casted if it's too close to an obstacle.

[hard escarp]

be hard to do things like shoot out of a window though I think

idk i guess Ill keep thinking on it

thanks both of you

[bright arch]

If you want to have it that accurate, I think you really need a first person camera. That is exactly the reason for them to exist in shooters

[drowsy snow]

Also the oldskool center camera didn't help either.

The industry abandoned that shit for years for good reasons, ever since Resident Evil 4 pioneered over the shoulder camera.

[plush yew]

How would I make a sonic boom that flows around a character when going a certain speed

So say a rockets flying at 1000mph in ue4 (not using correct terms) how would I make a sonic boom

[drowsy snow]

By faking it.

Faking it with visual effects.

[jade surge]

Does anyone know if it's viable to use a cine camera as default player camera?

[drowsy snow]

But why?

[jade surge]

No real reason, I'm diving into things I'm unfamiliar with currently just for the sake of learning

I've seen it used as default camera before, I just don't know if there was a specific reason for it

[drowsy snow]

It's a bad practice to use cine camera as a gameplay camera.

Cine camera is basically the normal camera, but with settings for cinematics and not for gameplay purposes. Though you can use it for photo mode camera.

[jade surge]

So they basically are capable of mostly the same thing, except cine is not meant for gameplay

that is what I'm mostly interested in, what exactly can cine camera do that default camera cannot

Is it just quality difference?

[drowsy snow]

More of setting them up difference, and the lack of flexibility that players have expected for gameplay camera.

Quality is barely a difference, if not at all.

[plush crane]

Im having problems with my animations in UE4. I imported my old gamemode's animations from source>blender>ue4 and the animations are working completely perfectly in the animation window, but I cant figure out how to actually apply those animations to my object. Does anyone know of a good video or documentation about applying animations to static meshes?

[drowsy snow]

Animation sequences are only applicable to skeletal meshes. Animating static meshes is only possible by socketing it into a skeletal mesh or animating the transform in Sequencer (which is almost practically the same as Source Filmmaker)

[plush yew]

does anyone know why i cant move my player after joining a session im using a custom game instance but it wont let me move around but if i use the normal game instance i can move around
but cant join or create session ?

[plush crane]

Hmm so ill just animate the skeletal mesh then, I have the skeletal mesh for the thing im trying to animate obvs. Thanks!

[drowsy snow]

How different your custom game instance is from the vanilla one?

[plush yew]

the thing is i cant check

when i click the search icon for game instance it does not show up

this is all i have tho

i cant figure out whats in the default game instance so i dont know how to fix it lol

[plush crane]

bro hoodiguy tysm. I got it working! Im sure ill be back here... Alot..

[plush yew]

Penser vous que c'est cracker

??

that aint the place to ask

and speak english

[fierce tulip]

please dont show links to such websites @plush yew thnx.

[drowsy snow]

I don't have google translate handy atm

[plush yew]

lol

ok soory dud

[plush crane]

what kind of bp would I use if im going to be using multiple animations, and each animation would play according to the state of the object. For example, I have idleclose, idleopen, open, close, which all happen according to what is going on with the object. For example, If it opens and then gets closed, idleclose would always play, and so on. I cant do this with an animation blueprint right? (only one animation would ever play at a time, though)

thanks ponkk, will research into it. The hardest part about ue4 is about knowing WHAT to research because there is so much :k

[lean crater]

I have backup of the unreal engine 4 and then i installed epic games but now epic games not recognising ue4 in launcher how to fix this any solutions?

[hollow palm]

my editor is capped at 60FPS

how can I change this

I have Smooth Framerate off, I tried t.MaxFPS 0 and also disabled any other settings like that

[daring schooner]

hi, is it possible to animate a skeleton without a mesh attached to it to a specific framerate no matter what the actual framerate is, so that gameplay related stuff on it (ie hitboxes) work consistently, while also having another skeleton copy that skeleton but at the actual rendering framerate?

[frank ether]

Hey! Im a Noobster here. Tried the VR template project everything is good I can modifie things and so on.

But the problem is when I make a landscape I cant walk on it. Probably the NavMesh is not generated? How would I do this, does anyone have an idea?

[solar inlet]

@grim ore ok mr mathew

i did the interaction music thing

I also added auttenuation

[hollow palm]

Do you got this?

make the box cover the navigational area

then hit this

[frank ether]

I have the nav bounds box.

I will try to build, didn't do that, Thanks!

[opal cedar]

Other than Gaea and World Machine, are there any cheaper but good landscape applications out there?

$199 for Indie developers are just too expensive

Well, at least for me

how can i make a graphic option for no lighting?

[fervent apex]

Is there a way to copy and paste material slots (including materials) from a mesh to another?

[fierce tulip]

in ue4? no

[plush crane]

how can i make my camera stiff in ue4? i have a 3rd person and 1st person component, but on the 3rd person camera i dont want the camera to be moveable by the player, just to be in a static position according to the players location

[robust spoke]

Hiho, I have a general question, I have a data table for weapons, a data table for skills and am considering creating a data table for quests. Hence my question:
Is it possible to translate data tables when the game is played in a different language or does it have to be translated separately in the item, NPC or skill tree?

[supple crag]

@lapis tulip Thats my property
UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, Category = "Spawner")
TSubclassOf<ARunner> runnerBlueprint;

And I'm trying to spawn it like this
GetWorld()->SpawnActor<ARunner>(runnerBlueprint, GetActorLocation(), FRotator::ZeroRotator);

So basically the same as your code, but i just get the following crash

Line 34 is the GetWorld()->SpawnActor.... line

[plush crane]

how can i turn off headbobbing in fpp, i just created a fpp and tpp so that im able to swap between them but the fpp is super annoying with the headbobbing

nevermind figured it out, just attached it to the cameraboom instead of the headsocket and boom, no camera movement: nevermind i can now see through walls in fpp. LMAO

[supple crag]

@plush yew i did check multiple times if i set the runnerBlueprint in editor. Also tried some shenanigans with finding the class by name and setting the runnerBlueprint in the BeginPlay()

Just double checked and cleared the runnerBlueprint and set it again. Still crashing

[plush crane]

yea ill try changing the animation and see if that works

[cyan bronze]

XD Ye so i think i need some help with this

[winter gate]

What's your GPU temp at? Looks it could be like overheating.

[cyan bronze]

That has happened before in google chrome few years ago and it got fixed over time but no idea what has caused this. My UE was crashing after i changed some NVIDIA 3D settings for more performance for gaming so i restored everything to default and opened the UE and this thing happened

[cyan bronze]

GPU temp is fine like 40'C

Its not the GPU

And everything else is working fine

[winter gate]

Looks similar to a failing GPU ---> https://www.google.com/search?q=signs+of+a+failing+GPU&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi57I3avrPyAhXzIDQIHSsSCfIQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&cshid=1629046396416209&biw=1920&bih=937

[cyan bronze]

I know i know but its not the same

Already did a bit research about this when it happened to my chrome few times

But i dont know how to fix it

[winter gate]

Well if you said it happened while on Chrome a while back too

So that would rule out it being strictly an unreal engine issue

[cyan bronze]

yea

[winter gate]

Using the latest driver?

[cyan bronze]

yes

[winter gate]

Maybe reinstall the driver?

[simple ember]

Hello there guys, it looks like I have big problem

anything I click on the UE marketplace sends me to browser

and from there

all packages are unavaiable

hmm never mind it is fixed already

[cyan bronze]

No need to answer my problem either. I just ran CCleaner and restarted my Pc

[simple ember]

good

[cyan bronze]

Hmm... I see nothing wrong with this.... Still error

[quiet token]

PAHHLEEEEEEEEASEEE

[cyan bronze]

Pahlease

I already have almost the same thing working in firing

[quiet token]

reloadweapon contains arguments

[quiet token]

@cyan bronze you need timer delegate to call a function with arguments in it

[cyan bronze]

Ok ty i will find out what that even is

[quiet token]

https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/165678/using-settimer-on-a-function-with-parameters.html

the top anser here will solve the problem

you just need to load the SetTimer with arguments that ::ReloadWeapon requires

a better solution would be to not have reloadweapon require the weapontype argument

[cyan bronze]

ok ty

ill look into it

[plush yew]

where have I gone wrong?

[supple crag]

This only works if max walk speed is EXACTLY 300.0

You probably wanna use >= or <=

If you want it to activate when you get faster use >=

[cyan bronze]

Works with this. Not the link you posted btw. Just so if someone tries to do the same.

[native tulip]

my character, which is able to wallrun, has issues with camera rotation, those being that the camera is never rotation around the character, but its rotating around the worlds z axis, how can i make it rotation around the local axis?

[prime willow]

Use migration not file movement from one folder to another

also back up your game and youll never go through that process or amount of loss again

every time you make progress and its stable make backups in a spare HDD

or use hithub etc

[orchid lodge]

Its more time sensitivew

[plush yew]

@native tulipyou using add control yaw and pitch input?

[orchid lodge]

I make the project, cclose it, load it. then later itll just stop working

Im thinking its a driver issue since i reinstalled ue4

[prime willow]

look for recent changes done prior to the issue and backwards solve from there

[orchid lodge]

Yeh,Im trying drivers now

Putting the thing on my laptop instead of pc

See if it runs

[prime willow]

if all else fails a reinstalltion of the plugins and unreal engine application may suit your needs

granted i have no clue the context necessary to aid you

error codes

last done step or action before crash

etc etc

screenshots would help to

[native tulip]

Yup

What are the other options?

[plush yew]

no idea lol

[native tulip]

;(

Thx anyway lol

[plush yew]

I mean it works fine, I got a wallrun/walljump system

no issues with the camera

how can I hide an individual image on a widget with a button press?

Not hide the widget?

yeah

how would i do that on button press?

input key event?

right, yeah, im being dumb

do you know bp's work? 😛

yeah, I just can't get (image 128) on my character bp

oh on umg

could i do it on my map bp

basically, it's for a on screen hud

im trying to change the item in a box

by hiding the image when F is pressed

I think i've done it

I just made it another widget as i'll have to do that in the future

but i'll need to hide and show images on that too

[orchid lodge]

Aight ima try cloning the project

Thanks for th eidea

@prime willow How do i do the file migration

I tried putting it on my laptop but it daint work so it aint the drivers

[drowsy snow]

But you're not following up with another screenshot after you pressed Yes.

[plush yew]

ok wait

am I being dumb? why is it so hard to cast to the ai controller?

[plush yew]

why does this cast fail?

[prime willow]

@orchid lodge you're fine buddy game design is a complicated long progress as long as youre taking steps forward thats all that matters

[plush yew]

makes no fucking sense to me

[orchid lodge]

Its not really that

Its just ive been having the engine crash

And ive tried everything

[prime willow]

and never be scared to move on to another part of game design and come back if youre stumped its really open ended

[orchid lodge]

Looked everywhere

[prime willow]

oh

[orchid lodge]

Yeh its an engine issue

[prime willow]

that's terrible xD

try a clean reinstall

[orchid lodge]

Did

Verified

Got a new version

Uninstalled and reinstalled

[prime willow]

;-;

[orchid lodge]

Moved project to my laptop

Not a driver issue

Here

[prime willow]

is it working on your laptop?

[orchid lodge]

Nope

Same rror

Best part is

Its recent, and I have a jam hand in in 5 hous

and ive been dealing with it for 16 hours

[prime willow]

im really sorry lol i have no idea whats causing that xD

unfortunately im new to unreaal as well though im learning quickly how to work some of its finer bits

someone here might know moreso whats causing that at a constant

[orchid lodge]

Been asking for awhile

Most hope is lost rn

[prime willow]

this is about importing an object right?

or launch crashes i cant remember o.e

[orchid lodge]

No

This is opening a project and it crashing on launch

[prime willow]

oh yeah

that's weird xD

um

do you have one drive or a form of secuirty on your pc

[orchid lodge]

Very weird

Specially when you got a jam hand in

And an artist relying on you

[prime willow]

like malware bytes or macfee

or one drive per say

the cloud storage device

[orchid lodge]

Already disabled my antivirus for a bit

That didnt effect it

[prime willow]

i know no one talks about this issue

but i had a one drive connected to my documents which is where your project is stored

and had nothing but broken hell for 3 or so months iirc until i disabled it on documents

[orchid lodge]

There a all on my main C drive

Inside documents

WIth all my other projects

[prime willow]

try making a project

moving it to another folder

and opening it

a folder that isnt connected to any software or hard drive

[orchid lodge]

Yeh tried it

Still breaking

Im worried itll be all the assets ocrrupted

[prime willow]

o-o

[orchid lodge]

BUt earlier today I made a new file

COpied the assets in

ANd it worked fin

I closed it

[prime willow]

wait

so

[orchid lodge]

Opened it

Closed it again

[prime willow]

its not

[orchid lodge]

waited 4 hours

and then it was still broke

[prime willow]

new empty projects that break

its projects with assets in it?

from your library right

it may be that some of the assets if i understand this correctly

[orchid lodge]

Yeh

[prime willow]

are causing corruptions when mixed together

[orchid lodge]

I started importing assets

But just gave me the memory break

So thats inconclusive

[drowsy snow]

Consider sanity check by migrating it to another project

[prime willow]

try and find the isolated file that when added breaks your project

[plush yew]

wdym

[drowsy snow]

Create a new project and try saving it there. Or you could move the content of the map into a new one.

[prime willow]

try an empty project with nothing at all not even the basics templates

[orchid lodge]

Yeh thats work

[prime willow]

and if that works when saved and closed and re opened

ok

[orchid lodge]

My old projects also work

[prime willow]

than its most likely a asset causing conflict

in an empty project add 1 asset in from the library

save close

[plush yew]

thats the demo scene from an asset

[prime willow]

reopen

if nothing breaks add another from the esstablished list

when you find what file causes the crash

[drowsy snow]

Maybe don't use the demo map?

[prime willow]

go into the document folder and find the folder migrated or added last

deete it and reopen

[orchid lodge]

I tried that

[prime willow]

if it works you found the issue

[orchid lodge]

And just got a memory issue

[plush yew]

i want to use demo scene map

[drowsy snow]

Or consider reimporting the asset pack

[orchid lodge]

Im looking too fix that now

[prime willow]

^ we're getting there step by step :3

[drowsy snow]

Demo map aren't supposed to be used as is.

[orchid lodge]

I just cant be fucked with this shit anymor

I just want too call over the god teacher too fix it for me

[prime willow]

if you have time and the resources

sure dont be bothered by something someone else is willing to fix for you

unless you want to or feel morally so to fix it yourself xD

[orchid lodge]

Im just being hyperbolic

THere is no god teacher

[prime willow]

rest in piece

o.o

[orchid lodge]

This shit is killing me

[prime willow]

well in all honestly

game design in infinitely harder than fixing a problem with clear obstavcles and solutions to try

especially when you learn the how to and so and now youre on your own to make your own game

tutorials teach basics they dont make the game itself you have to figure that out on your own lol

and god forbid you write custom code for your custom game lmao xD

take this as practice

because down the line youll be creating the issues due to the process of game design and have to somehow figure out the solution no one else can help you with

@drowsy snow i'm a dumbie i keep working another 12+ hours on weekends and not realizing its the weekend xD

[drowsy snow]

Wait, I thought it was monday morning already?

[plush yew]

This doesn't make my character face up.

i hope i respected what was said there

typically i had a basic root or intended item under root

since root is the base and can give trouble during actor use without prior knowledge

[plush yew]

multi flip flop?

[plush crane]

anyone know what to change in my mainmenu widget to get this to change colors on hover? I tried changing hover color values and no luck

[hidden sparrow]

Maybe you have alpha set to 0?

[plush crane]

FUCK thanks

i did do that haha

[plush yew]

need help regarding terrain. if you sculpt terrain using the editor, (shift and sculpt selected) the terrain goes down, right? How could i set a user to do that? like if they right click, it'd do the same thing as pressing shift while you sculpt, making the terrain start to cave in

[river ridge]

hey guys, can someone ELI5 about cross product? What does it tell me and what are some use case for it? Like how does finding a third vector that is perpendicular to the other two vectors help me ?

[teal charm]

um

how can i limit fps?

i found it not long ago

wanna test some things in low fps

[marsh sparrow]

What is a good place to ask questions about fbx file imports?

[teal charm]

what are you interested in specific?

[marsh sparrow]

I have an FBX im importing, but all the materials get lost.

I did ask in #graphics but now I'm not sure if that is the right spot

[teal charm]

whoah

quite a few materials

😅

[marsh sparrow]

ha

well it was purchased....... but when I try to import it... i get name clashes and a bunch of blank materials

[teal charm]

u can ask in #graphics

but i think if i were you

id set up the materials by hand

[marsh sparrow]

yuck

well.. the fbx has the model... I wonder what this mtl file is in the directory

@teal charm thx mate

[teal charm]

mtl is the material lib usually obj files have exported with them

@marsh sparrow

if its tat kind of file then it should be in plain text

that describes how the materials set up

[marsh sparrow]

ah k thx

[teal charm]

idk if unreal can handle it tho

[marsh sparrow]

seems not

[teal charm]

better ask in graphics to be sure someone might know

[marsh sparrow]

seems I need to make the mats from scratch from what they just told me

[teal charm]

there might be a work around

[marsh sparrow]

thx though

[teal charm]

oh ic

will this be for a game or a render?

or movie perhaps?

@marsh sparrow

[marsh sparrow]

game

[teal charm]

ah from noah?

[marsh sparrow]

ha yeah

bought asset.. so I guess the win is the model

[teal charm]

😄

[marsh sparrow]

just sux I gotta make some mats for it

but ohwell hahha

Didn't learn unreal because it was easy

[teal charm]

i guess if you make a good master material u just need to add textures form now on

[marsh sparrow]

tru that

[kind dew]

anyone know why I'm jittering like this when I walk backwards?
https://gyazo.com/b7bd9b849948287e8f800f2a70d42550

gif recording fps isn't high enough to see how bad the jitter is there but camera makes the mannequin and the boxes appear to shake when i walk backwards

[plush yew]

@kind dew do you have any camera shake to the player? it also may be something else you have done to the camera specifically

[kind dew]

nope it's literally just a plain camera. not even a spring arm or anything like that. No shakes or anything.

[plush yew]

@kind dew im not to sure then but just to pin down the problem is t her any collisions for the arms etc? if there is you could try to turn them off but also it could be how you set up your camera rotation and movement etc it could be anything really but it doesnt hurt to check also you could try to re-add your camera so it can have all the default settings just in case you missed something. i know its a lot but it could really be anything so just double check your code/blueprints and see if you missed something

[plush yew]

i'm glad i could be useful to you

[desert prairie]

how do I change the parent socket of a skeletal mesh for my ThirdPersonCharacter? it shows me this when I try to change it

[kind dew]

Hey thanks a lot i really appreciate you taking the time

[regal mulch]

If this is the mesh of the character then you can't do that there. if at all only runtime

You should show your hierarchy so we know the components

[desert prairie]

Ok. Brb

[tender mountain]

Hey I'm watching this video about procedural architecture generation and the guy talks about these "Deekster Seeds" and "Deekster maps" I googled it but "deekster" is spelled wrong and I want to look it up. Anyone know what this is?

[broken heath]

Any idea how can i remove file paths from multiple files ?

[dapper oak]

Just as a rule of thumb, when is a good time to convert things to cpp and is it a stupid idea to start your code with cpp instead of BP?

[tender mountain]

Found it "Dijkstra"

[drowsy snow]

Whenever you're actually need to leverage lower level functionality.

[golden gale]

So I'm thinking of doing like, swarms of rats or just rats in general. Would it be worth doing AI or should I do like, rat particles?

[last dune]

Hi!

i need help with this

[drowsy snow]

It's exactly what it says.

[last dune]

I literally already did it 2 times

😦

[jade surge]

does anyone know how phasmophobia was able to detect questions asked?

[plush yew]

quick question , does the an-isotropic shaders work in forward rendering? if not, is there a cheap solution for this?

[surreal eagle]

HELLO

I'm in dire need of help

i need to make a vault system

and need to get the world position of the top of the object i have a sphere trace hitting

[steady siren]

Hello guys

I'm making a level

which has hundreds if not thousands of the same static mesh(es)

How can I optimize it?

the fps have really started to tank

[broken heath]

@steady siren hism and lods

[steady siren]

Aren't LODs done automatically ?

[glacial otter]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOjYP-c4qhA This

[oblique drift]

is there a way to create a sphereical landscape?

[steady siren]

I'm looking into HISM but I want a solution to replace already placed stuff. I've been working many hours on this level

[glacial otter]

You can make a script for that, otherwise i think the instance tools plugin from the marketplace could help, but i'm not entirely sure.

[plush yew]

so im guessing none knows how i can make my player move again even if i changed game instances?

[stark gyro]

Can you have multiple hit events?

[last topaz]

Hi, quick question, is BuiltData necessary for levels? We have one map that doesn't have any BuiltData associated to it, could this be a problem?

[native tulip]

hi, how can i rotate the camera around my player (up vector) because the camera rotates around the worlds yaw? any solutions?

[plush yew]

anyone use blender here for animations?

[harsh tiger]

any idea why some days my project will package fine and then other days i get this error

[harsh tiger]

I deleted some stuff off my C drive because it was full and deleted the intermediate folder from the project and that has seemed to have done the trick

[vocal herald]

how can I stop my decal from projecting trough objects without making volume smaller?

imagine im projecting on to 2 planes that are normal to me. One plane is smaller and closer to me. I dont wanna see parts of the decal that got projected on to a closer plane on further plane

Any part of my texture that got already projected should never be projected again

[tepid finch]

is there a channel anyone recommends for help with houdini kineFX retargetting?

[upbeat onyx]

yooo whats up guys?

[plush yew]

Is there a way that I can add motion blur to just my character, to make it look like it's shaking left and right?

[dim merlin]

Hi, anyone familiar with virtual texture ? Has anything been fixed since 4.25 someone knows?

[whole glacier]

Hi , i am trying to optimize my level in 4.26 , it is 4k level and i get about 30 FPS in editor. Does it tell me anything if when i set scalability between low or cinematic , it makes no difference in FPS? Or same if i set material quality to highest or lowest , it also has no effects on FPS. If i play in " new editor window " , i get the 30 FPS , but if i hit windows key and maximize it , then it runs around 60 , sometimes up to 70 FPS. In standalone it can run anywhere between 30 and 50 FPS. Got an Intel i5 8400 cpu and an RTX 3060 with 12 gb Vram and 32 gb pc memory. Thanks for any help

[buoyant granite]

:triangular_flag_on_post: GrayMatter02#6097 received strike 1. As a result, they were muted for 10 minutes.

[lucid grove]

Maybe something with screen resolution Scale?

[whole glacier]

@lucid grove You mean just the regular resolution setting , or something related to res? thanks

[lucid grove]

This guy

[whole glacier]

Oh yea , is there a recommended setting for that , or does it change as the scalability setting changes? I am currently reloading a backup , but last time i looked it was set at 76%.

Anyway , tried changing it but it makes no difference

[solar gyro]

Has anyone got any tips regarding additvely adding "character"/pose to animation logic? So a larger character with heavier clavs, wider set legs etc?

[hidden dagger]

Hello I really need some help and maybe some ideas for spawning an actor randomly after it dies

I dont know how to get a random place around the dead one where it should spawn

[lucid grove]

What profile gpu shows you?

[whole glacier]

@lucid groveWell i dont know how to fully read it yet , but from what i can see , it all seems normal and on the graphs it is all in the center , nothing abnormal or unusually high on ms.

[lucid grove]

Share both 30 and 60 fps here

GPU stat also

[whole glacier]

Sorry i didn't get what you mean exactly

[lucid grove]

Screenshot your GPU stats and Profile GPU windows and show them to me. Both when you get 30 fps and 60 fps.

[whole glacier]

ok , so thats " stat/GPU"?

@lucid grove you mean this guy? ( i noticed fps drop a little with stats on screen ) .
