ue4-general

[full lodge]

or you know simpler way to read exposure values

thats why i decided to use e.g., UE4_LOG to just print it, but I need a one line of code to add to UE4 engine

[sterile lichen]

which value? (class:field name)

[full lodge]

for example this one

or this one

I dont want to change her, just only to read a value and accumulate for instance

[prisma marlin]

does anybody know how do they make such a dense grass without loosing much performance! i know they use LOD but still they have to make such dense grass....so i want to know is that we should normal foliage tool or is there any different method to achieve this result ?

[full lodge]

You would like to see moving grass?

[prisma marlin]

its fine if grass is static with no wind or anything

[full lodge]

@sterile lichen

....

whats wrong with that shit

[sterile lichen]

when you open the project it does a first run of UBT so you have to wait a bit. if not that then kill them in task manager.

[full lodge]

okay, I killed the process

Building one more time...

seems correct @sterile lichen

I hope, that process finally will end up with success state...

long time no see this utilization XD

[sterile lichen]

as i said before, ExpensiveBuild turns your PC into a pumpkin after a month trial

[ebon marlin]

Is there any way to search for console commands?

Like some 'find X' prints a bunch of commands with X in their string?

[full lodge]

hahahaha

[full lodge]

yes, but I deleted this Incredibuild

@sterile lichen

[sterile lichen]

🙂

pumpkin magic got dispelled

[full lodge]

but it seems to be hanging at the same point hmm

@sterile lichen I hope I am not interrupting you much...

hmmm

[ivory spire]

does someone have a tutorial for physical rigging in unreal ?

like, making those physical skeleton things

i can't seem to make it work

[prisma marlin]

does anybody as solution for this?

[ivory spire]

probably normal mapping and some trickery

[prisma marlin]

but those looks like actual geometry

[thick herald]

thats where the trickery comes in 😄

[prisma marlin]

and i have seen some scene where i can see actual gemetry grass

[wary wave]

I have doubts there's any actual geometry there

I mean if you look at the boots in the foreground, they appear to 'hover' over the ground plane, because there's no geometry between the boot and the camera

[prisma marlin]

thats what i thought at first but another scene i saw some grass was showing between camera and goal post

let me see if i can find the image

[thick herald]

The goal post never moves so having some static meshes around that isn't going to affect performance 🙂

[distant hamlet]

does anyone know how to get these in play mode

[sterile lichen]

that means it is done (sor for late response)

[full lodge]

@sterile lichen after long trip

finally

[sterile lichen]

👏

[full lodge]

I decided to restart PC copy UE4 source engine (backup) and try agian

and works

ahhh, I was building engines many time, but this time will be put into my mind....

[raw forum]

Hi everybody. Can you please tell me after I switched to ue5, my LODs 0 are loaded at a minimum distance from the character, and some do not load at all?

[ebon marlin]

Does enabling Nvidia reflex just amount to enabling the plugin? Are there any console commands I should know of?

[lyric cedar]

is there a command i can do to specifically change the size of my editor window?

[solid swan]

Hi Guys, do you know which Nvidia Studio Driver should I use for unreal 5 and 4.27 to have possibilities to correctly run the path tracing?

[shadow ravine]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for getting my ALS character to work with two handed weapons. My right hand connects to the socket fine but the left hand is floating all over the place? https://youtu.be/6S94ckv9_lk

[wind cape]

So I've tried using a Orthographic camera, downscaling the game to 640x360, and then moving the camera exactly 4 units every time to try and simulate a pixel perfect look, although this doesn't seem to work, is there some good way of retrieving pixel size in unreal units?

[mystic jewel]

c sharp fcked my mind instantly

[cedar wave]

This is what I've used in the past. Has worked thus far for me. Only issue I encounter is having to play with the IK socket on the weapon. It has never worked for me the way they're showing. But other than that, works like a charm.

[dense wren]

hi guys i need help with a dash action i`vmade

actually, 4 dash actions

1 for each direction

they work with double tap of the keys

w+w, a+a, d+d,s+s

the thing is they mix with each other, for example.

if i pres w+a

the A+A gets triggerd, and if i press, a+s, the S+S gets triggered

depending which i pressed last

[grim ore]

keep track of just the last key pressed, and compare that last key to the current key?

[dense wren]

how do i do that

[grim ore]

how do you keep track of them now?

[dense wren]

would you like me to share you my screen and see the blueprint?

[grim ore]

I wouldnt

[dense wren]

or i could send you a picture, wait just a sec

there

thats 2 the forward and the right dash

[grim ore]

yes, your pressed amount means nothing

its tracking any of those keys being pressed, not which ones

[dense wren]

there are 2 more under those two for the other directions

[dense wren]

right

how do i track them?

should i create a variable for each?

[grim ore]

dont keep track of the pressed amount #, keep track of the last key pressed and check against that. and set it to nothing. your doing it with the integer, do it with the key now

[dense wren]

how

im sorry, but i barely managed to get that done

[grim ore]

the same way you are doing it with an integer

[dense wren]

with a branch, and a is dashing? variable?

[grim ore]

so this is how I would do it, its not perfect (you should use key bindings not direct keys) and its not battle tested

but it works

key is pressed -> is this key the same as the last key pressed that we saved? IF so we pressed it twice, set our last key pressed to none (since we want to reset our key presses now), and set our timer back to nothing (should probably clear and invalidate the timer honestly)

if the key is pressed and its not the same as the last key pressed, we pressed this one for the first time, set our last key pressed to this key, and start our timer (this resets our last key pressed after 1 second back to nothing), and saves a timer handle so we can clear out the timer later when needed

Heres the fixed image with 2 buttons tested and working

yes its more advanced than you figured out, but its a more advanced topic you are asking about

[dense wren]

Thanks!, imma look up into it right now

[uneven gale]

Hi , sorry about entering now, but, in your opnion, wich is the best free Crash Course of unreal c++ ?

[grim ore]

do you know C++?

[dense wren]

so i should add all that right before my double tap function?

[grim ore]

you can see exactly how I did the code and how it works, you put it where it works for you

[dense wren]

there are some good ue4c++ tutorials on youtube

[dense wren]

right thanks you m8

[uneven gale]

yes, but i know c++ with QT 😅

[grim ore]

so you know C++ the language itself?

[uneven gale]

yes

[uneven gale]

Please , did you recomend one ?

[grim ore]

do you know UE4 yet? the basics, blueprints, etc?

[dense wren]

i will send you one

[uneven gale]

thanks ! i will start learning today !

[dense wren]

awesome

[uneven gale]

both of you are my heros today , thanks a lot !

[dense wren]

not a problem friend

[mortal cedar]

I have an unwanted behavior in the enhanced input mappings.
I setup an axis input. In old input bindings opposite keys on the same axis cancel each other (W and S for example for walking, if you press them at the same time the summary axis value will be 0, so your character will stay in place). In the enhanced input, one of keys always wins the concurrency, and by pressing two opposite direction inputs, the character keeps walking. Just simple "by the book" setup

[dense wren]

what variable type is the blue one, just key? or key event

[grim ore]

@dense wrendrag off the key pin on the key event and tell it to promote to variable, this makes the correct one for you automatically

[dense wren]

ohhh

nice why didnt i think that

im not allowed to connect anything into the == unless its an enum

[grim ore]

when I created that I dragged off the key and typed == to get the equals node, then i dragged off it again and promoted to variable to get the variable, then I dragged in the variable to compare it

[dense wren]

oh, hehe so much thanks

[static warren]

Hey guys, would anybody know how to do an omnidirectional "dash" ability that also sends you upward or downward if that's where you're looking? This is what i have so far but it only sends you forward in the direction you're facing.

[torn pilot]

i'm having a strange behavior, There are 3 Levels of ActorComponent Inheritances which each add their own default sub objects. The problem is, that within the blueprint, the details view is empty depending on which level i declare the component as a UPROPERTY. Log is empty, im kind of at a loss why or how this is happening. Anyone experienced the same issue before and knows how to efficiently debug it?

[dense wren]

what did you called the function name in set timer by function name?

oh got it

you created the custom event

right?

[grim ore]

@static warrenchances are your actor, if its a character, is not rotated on the Z (your capsule doesnt rotate, the camera in it does), so get the cameras rotation and not the character

@dense wren yep

[dense wren]

reset las used key

cool

[torn pilot]

@static warren get the actors key input, multiply the force by the normalized key input (thats left right). Then get the LookRotation of the actor and add that (force * LookRotation) to your impulse vector

[static warren]

Tried this, but I'm getting an error for the target and it won't attatch to the camera when i drag it in

[dense wren]

should i connect to my dash code, from clear and invalidate? or set timer by handle?

[dense wren]

its like i have to press it 3 times for it to work

[grim ore]

yes your not getting the camera manager which it wants, you dont need that you can get the component and get its world rotation

[static warren]

ah ok

thank you

[dense wren]

there is still a problem,the game receives as if a+s work together

but they shouldnt

w+w is one thing and a+a its another

but im normally walking and i press , a then w just cause i want to walk in a diagonal

then actor performs the dash based in the last key pressed

[grim ore]

so what is the order of the keys you are pressing?

[dense wren]

it depends always, but i dont want to throw a random dash when im walking just normal

so if i walk in a diagonal, pressing a+s cuz i want to walk to walk backward left, instead it triggers a dash

[grim ore]

yeah no issues here with my code doing that

[dense wren]

but dash its only for a+a, w+w , s+s, or d+d, not (a+s, s+d, d+w)

[grim ore]

theres no way for it to ever do that with my code since you are only ever storing the last key and comparing it

so A + D could never trigger

[dense wren]

is it maybe because i`v set the same integer for pressed key to all the dashes?

pressed amount i mean

look

[grim ore]

well you should never be checking the # of keys, my code never did that

you should be comparing the last key to the current key since all you care about is it being pressed twice in a row within a time

[dense wren]

what

wait didnt mean to send that

pressed amount is used in all dashes

[grim ore]

yep and no point do I ever check the number, that is the problem with your code and what we are not using

[dense wren]

ofcourse, its actually my starting problem

not cause by your code

[grim ore]

my code works as is, and the two parts in each one pressed once and pressed twice, the print strings, are where you put your special code. somewhere in that part of the graph

[plush yew]

Hi Everyone. I am pretty newbie to UE4 and joined here in case that I would need help or I would have some questions. First thing i've noticed after launching UE4 is similarity to Source Engine Hammer Editor where I'm pretty experienced so that's pretty good

[dense wren]

i think i found the problem

i create a integer, called pressed amount 2

it seems to work now

but i bet there is a more simple and better way to do it

[grim ore]

yep its the way I did it

[dense wren]

another question, how do i create a folder in variables to store variables?

and not have a mess

[strong sapphire]

Hi guys, how to use Tab or Esc for game input in PIE?

[wary wave]

you cannot

[grim ore]

@dense wrenyour variables have Category names, change those

[dense wren]

nice thanks

[shadow ravine]

I've been reading though the document you sent over, where is he getting the target from for the world item skeletal mesh

[cedar wave]

What do you mean?

Set a socket on your weapon - that's all you need to do

Afterwards, it's just following the blog post. Adapt the character skeleton to w/e skeleton you have of course

[burnt lichen]

To be sure, even though you can't test in the editor with this key, placing "input key Escape" to pause the game and show the menu will work when the game is packaged right?

[grim ore]

@burnt lichenyes, you can also change the default keys in the editor for stopping playback or test in standalone in the editor.

[burnt lichen]

Awesome, thank you.

[grim ore]

just remember when you do that, rebind it to something else or you have to use shift-f1 to let the mouse go so you can stop.. or you are stuck lol

[shadow ravine]

Okay so I've got the updated bp using the guide but for some reason his arm is glitching out

[final moth]

URGENT!!! My level keeps crashing

what is the way to debug it?

deadline coming

[robust marten]

No joke, my character BP wont work unless I shove an invisible zucchini up his ass. For SOME reason he has zero collisions if I dont set this zucchini collision to block all. I chose the zucchini because it's the smallest SM I have right now. My Character doesnt even inherit from another mesh so idek whats going on and why this is happening.

[severe brook]

What does this mean/ i try to install on 3ds max 2020?

[grim ore]

@final moththe level stops working, or the engine/game crashes?

[final moth]

crashes

[grim ore]

the entire engine/game with a crash reporter screen?

[final moth]

yes

As soon as I try to load the level

[grim ore]

post the crash report or a screenshot or something

[final moth]

you mean here?

[grim ore]

or somewhere else you want help I guess

[final moth]

shall I zip it?

[grim ore]

well assuming its the crash reporter, a screenshot should be fine

[final moth]

ok, well, I already replaced level with the saved backup version

so I do have a crash report as a file which unreal created, but I decided to move on, I do have a deadline. So I will just rebuild the elements which were new after the last backup

[grim ore]

ah

[final moth]

I have my suspects, in the asset created by houdini engine.

it did act weird

but thanks for the response, respect!

[hallow void]

Hey guys, just a brief question, an advice, since I am a game developer who's trying to make a quality game all on my own, would you recommend me to learn C++ and use it vastly or just stick to blueprints as much as I can?

[grim ore]

do you need C++ for anything you are doing?

in the long run, sure, learning C++ will be a benefit if you have the time and desire to learn it. If it takes up time from actively developing and you never use it... then...

[hallow void]

Well, I'm creating a first person shooter, all the main features like moving, jumping, flying (my character has wings), flashlight and stuff works, I have done it in blueprints and found no flaws, I just stumbled upon a problem with weapon inventory and since I found no tutorials I just chose to deep learn Blueprints, and since they're based on C++ I thought it would've been useful too

[hallow void]

Ok, so, if I need it or if I have time, I'll learn it, thanks for the advice

[cedar wave]

You can make an entire game in BPs. No need to drop something that works.

As everything - use the right tool for the job.

[hallow void]

Ok, thanks a lot 🙂

[grim ore]

yep yep what they said 🙂

[hallow void]

Thanks a lot, see ya 🙂

[prime willow]

@grim ore i heard you can lock your game to a certain graphic settings like 1080, 4k, 2k etc

is that true because i want my game to be capped at 1080p o-o

[gleaming lotus]

Need advice on how I might create/store data for a little prototype system I'm working on.
Essentially the game I'm working on has lots of factions, each faction has their relationship with another faction (friendly / neutral / at war).
In the game, the player can create their own faction, join a faction, or an AI might create a faction.
Any idea how I could store this data? A struct probably wouldn't work as it needs to be scalable for other factions.

[grim ore]

@prime willowin theory you could, just dont let them change it outside of your menus. You can try and force the resolution back down if it goes higher but theres always command line stuff and the .ini file. People will find ways around it if they want

[sterile lichen]

create a gamestate or gamemode diplomacy management component and enum defining relations (friendly/war/neutral), configure it based on game mode rules
as the sides - let it be some uobjects containing data or structs (i personally prefer objects) and let them be also in game state TArray<UFaction*> factions etc
then diplomacy would be a square matrix of size equal to number of factions and relationship state as value (struct or enum, depends how complex you want it to be)

[gleaming lotus]

Thats kinda the gist of what I'm thinking about, holding it on gameInstance, creating a map variable type to define the different factions, each faction then uses an array of ints to dictate the different relations... so each index of the array would be for a different faction

[sterile lichen]

game instance is kind of global-est thing, game mode for singleplayer, game state if multiplayer

[gleaming lotus]

Yeah I moved a bunch of stuff into game instance as when I was changing levels they were getting reset. Figured it'd be nicer to hold global stuff like this in instance

Especially considering I'm switching game-modes with the levels 😄

Thanks for the advice @sterile lichen, I think I've got a good idea of how I'll make the system now!

[cedar wave]

instance exists from the time the game starts to the time the game shuts down.

So, you'd be loading all this stuff, even if they're not actually playing the game

[gleaming lotus]

Yep thats fine by me 🙂

It'll essentially be an empty map variable until the save file is loaded in anyway

So there's no heavy overhead when making the main menu

[sterile lichen]

check pins here in channel or in #blueprint

there are plenty of learning courses by epic

[vivid vortex]

Ye I realized too late lol

Thanks for the help tho!

[wary orbit]

if you only make changes to an actor component is that totally insulated from the actor? I'm wondering if 2 people collaborating on a blueprint project could work on different components at the same time without merge conflicts

kk

If that is the case it will be really useful

[stoic ridge]

I Need help Sith Xbox dev program

[rancid lagoon]

im making a level map for a friend but he uses unity. Is there a way to have a ue4 map and transprot it into unity?

[cedar wave]

Yeah. By doing it all in UE, then going over to Unity and redoing it all over again in Unity.

[vivid vortex]

Is there a way i can make the camera faster??

[ancient kiln]

Hello, everyone! I'm new to Unreal so can anyone suggest some learning resources for Unreal Engine C++? Thanks in advance! 🥰

[grim ore]

do you know normal C++?

[ancient kiln]

A little.

[grim ore]

do you know Unreal Engine itself? blueprints, editor, etc?

[ancient kiln]

Only how to use the interface, not its specific features.

Thanks.

[cedar wave]

I recommend learning Unreal and BP first. Then dive into C++. It'll make the process much more smooth.

[grim ore]

^^ and https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/onlinelearning-courses has a ton of courses

[cedar wave]

Fast iteration is super important and you're not getting that with C++.

[ancient kiln]

Thanks for all of your suggestions, guys 🙂

Oh, hey it's Sam from gamedev.tv!

[vivid vortex]

Hello again

I’m completely new to the landmass add on and somehow managed to miss click somewhere and the the “splines” dont appear and i cant edit them, must move the shape around

How can i make them appear and edit them again?

[vivid vortex]

Nvm i just had to restart it lol

[prime willow]

so i dont mind if people forcefully bypass it

thats like mods if they do it good on them i just feel with what i want in my game to happen 1080 is a good benchmark to keep it at o-o

i dont mind them going lower than that just no higher without forcing it through some bypass

also if youre around i have a silly question

destruction seems to be back on the menu from unreal

taling about it in 4.27 and further

does that mean itll still be compatible with 4.26 or do i have to move over to 4.27 to utilize destruction

if you dont know the answer a gentle guide in the right direction would suffice as well

[stable kettle]

[shadow tree]

Hey all. In the amterial editor. Is there a way to drag all the pins from one node to another rather than one at a time?

[fierce tulip]

not without a plugin me thinks

before I had the node plugin I just saved one with all wires already connected and copy/pasted it and adjusted accordingly :p

[shadow tree]

ha! Good idea

[fierce tulip]

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/node-graph-assistant

in case you wanna spend a few bucks on a great tool

[shadow tree]

Many thanks

[mellow turret]

If I'm editing a map, is there a way to get the current location and rotation that I currently have in the point of view that is shown to me of the map? Or to place an actor with that location and rotation?

oh nevermind I can pilot the actor

[sterile lichen]

open that blueprint and resave/fix the links on the node

happens often when renaming blueprint structs

[rose plume]

heyyyyyy, so i have my player character as a "sponge" rectangular rn, and it have movement and everything but it move upstraight, i want it to flip flop around the platform when it move, when i stimulate physics to it, it just flop down and does not move with the capsule component, is there a way to make it flip flop around the level when we input it movement?

[cold bridge]

hey guys, I have a weird issue with new projectiles I just created; they fall through the floor, any idea what's a possible cause? 😮

[shadow tree]

In materials. What nodes work best for over saturating a texture?

[fierce tulip]

desaturate node with negative value me thinks

[shadow tree]

One would think, but sadly not so much

[fierce tulip]

oh, try above 1 as well.

[shadow tree]

That also create a desaturated, but realy bright version

[woeful canyon]

I can't move any asset in the world outliner for some reason. They aren't locked, the snap size is off so it's free, and rotation and transform work just fine. Idk what it can be.

I confirmed that it works in other projects. It's just this one and only in perspective mode it doesn't work.

[shadow tree]

Ahh Ha! Found it. Its the "power" node

[faint meadow]

so i opened my UE project and it deleted some folders, ones which i beleive were empty, randomly. Also, I have 1 empty folder in my project and no matter how many times i press delete it wont delete. How can i fix this?

so what actually happened i just realized is that i moved the folder which had content in and it and copied to the new location good, but now going thru it theres still some lingering files for no reason. I tried fix up redirs didint helop

okay i just wanted to make sure its safe to do that without killing my project

thank you

so they copied to the new folder i wanted but its really buggy with the old one in the content browser

they like appeared for a second and went away

i think im just gonna have to do it from file exporer, i havent even used them yet so they arent refferences in any BPS or anyhing, just audio files

just made a backup

unfortunatly it will contain the bugged folder but i think i should be okay

[dusk nebula]

How do people usually implement sliding? I've ran into some issues with just modifying the crouch speed

[faint meadow]

should i close the engine while deleting it?

[prime willow]

if you figure it out please let me know

im trying to setup something similiar

[stoic ridge]

Someone knows how to export ue4 to Xbox?

[dusk nebula]

Like, how to package a project for Xbox? I have no idea what else you could mean

[stoic ridge]

Yeah

Because I bought the license of Xbox dev program

[woeful canyon]

Anything I add to viewport seems to snap to the current view and centered. I can't move it. It's so irritating why it's not allowing me to use the move transform.

[stark gyro]

Didnt really know where else to ask this,

I have this red storm that has a basic level sequence that after 6000 frames it ends up in a certain destination (directly right). The player has to get to the end before it arrives. I dont know why but it starts off really slow but speeds up to the point where it is alot faster then the player

[versed star]

how do I import an mp3?

[weary basalt]

Drag/Drop it into the Content Browser?

[versed star]

it isn't usable and looks like this

[weary basalt]

I think you have to make another Video Player asset or something to then use it.

But im not entirely sure.

Maybe look up a tutorial on Youtube?

[digital anchor]

if you want audio files use .wav

[ancient fiber]

has anyone experienced drop down menus/right click menus flickering and breaking after like 10 minutes of UE being opened? i've tried updating my driver to fix it but that doesnt seemed to have helped

[ancient fiber]

assuming this is done via animating a property in the sequencer, check to see if your animation curve has any ease in or ease out. (the curve will look like a sine wave rather than a straight line.)

[wooden fern]

yeah, i don't know about ue4 but in ue5 the interpolation is cubic by default

[wooden fern]

any actors or just from a parent class you created?

[versed star]

Is there a way to send a variable or at least a number from one asset blueprint to another?

[wooden fern]

assuming its instanced eventually, yes

[versed star]

Cool, but how?

[wooden fern]

if you have a reference to your blueprint instance its as easy as typing the name of your variable in the search box and choose the get node

[daring sorrel]

i got a silly question i might make myself look stupid: i made a sequence with music in the background, is it possible to make the audio continue in a loop after even the cut-scene finished?

[wooden fern]

@versed star just make sure you cast the reference to the subclass that implement the variable

[woeful canyon]

All actors in all levels. Even brand new levels. But I gave up. I just made a new project and migrated everything over.

[wooden fern]

sounds like a nightmare for a sizable project, i would have definitively tried to get to the bottom of this in case it happens again

[woeful canyon]

Ya. Luckily, it's a small enough project. It needed to be migrated anyway, so not something that was super worrisome.

[wooden fern]

i don't know the best way to do it but personally rather than having the music set directly in the sequence i'd have an actor track that start the music

[versed star]

when I try to open up my enemy character blueprint it just brings up this blank screen, what's happening?

oh nevermind I figured it out

[wooden fern]

you had class default unticked 😄

[dull lake]

Is there anyone in here that can help me. Im trying to open a project I transfered from one computer to another VIA a SSD and it will not open. I keep getting an error

its making me super sad

[neon bough]

did you copy or move the content?

don't randomly delete folders, first check you should make is rightclick on the folder and select fix up redirectors

unreal likes to place "links" when you move stuff, so it doesn't have to update all assets that are referencing whatever you move

also @plush yew ^^

[faint meadow]

I did move it, I did do fix up redirects and it didn’t help with it. I did follow thru with file explorer and after that fixed redirs again and no issue

[wary sail]

Did you try restarting the editor or deleting the directory via explorer?

[winter gale]

Don't tell me Google acquired Epic 😄

[faint meadow]

That’s a joke right lol

[winter gale]

Yeah. For some reason Edge was like this. Working now.

[livid lily]

How do I make the ocean from 4.26 Water Plugin infinite?

[winter gale]

Select the water mesh actor from outliner and set Far material (there is a default material for that which comes with the plugin).

[livid lily]

is it just visual?

[winter gale]

Yes

[livid lily]

I want the player to be able explore the never-ending ocean will buoyancy work with that?

@winter gale

[winter gale]

I've never tried anything like this. You could try attaching the water to your character so it moves around with the player giving never-ending ocean but I don't know if you can do this with the water plugin 🤷‍♂️

[livid lily]

That won't look natural, waves will seem to be following the player.

[neon bough]

depends, if they take world position into account it could work

[maiden swift]

I have a set of textures with filtering set to Nearest to achieve a pixelated look, but when I apply the material in a level, the filtering looks smooth. What might cause this?

They look pixelated in the texture editor, but not in a level. I'm wondering if there's something in the material that's overriding the filtering.

[tender fiber]

Hi, I new to Game development and I want to understand the ALS system to implement in my own game can anyone suggest something or resources to understand or Should I not use it in my game ?

[neon bough]

@tender fiber they have an discord, you are most likely getting answers there

it's a complex system, you'll most likely learn most by implementing it, and don't expect to get the desired result within a few days, specially if you want to customize it

and it helps a lot to have some background in animations/rigging

[tender fiber]

@neon bough Ok thanks I'll try that

When my character how can i make last pose fade out behind him?

[drifting elbow]

I have a question regarding Player Start and placing a character in a level with auto-possess on. Are there good arguments (for single-player games) to not place a character inside a level with auto-possess on, and use Player Start? I remember in tutorials they often show both ways without mentioning benefits

[wary wave]

something is definitely unhappy somewhere, but it suggests it's something to do with something like a blueprint graph. I would suggest attaching a debugger to work out exactly which asset is triggering the problem

[vale grove]

Hey all, I migrated to 4.27 and I'm getting loads of editor crashes while using sequencer (i.e. copy pasting keyframes) is it known issue?

[mint umbra]

Is the water tool in 4.27 not compatible with larger terrains? I read 4x4km is the max, but is that accurate? It feels kinda lacking in the fact that we cant toggle between infinite ocean, and long distance mesh based on what our projects require, i.e saving performance or enabling ocean travelling.

Hello everyone, I have a small question that i am trying to fix for weeks but still cant find a answer.
My lightmaps have a kind of Lod thing. the closer i get the better the lightmaps get, but that's not what i want. I only want the high quality one...

[stable kettle]

Thanks, its worked 🙏

[icy hearth]

Help Please ! , I can see the .umap file in the content folder but in content browser cant seem to detect it. The reason it happened for me is the my PC shut down while Project was running and it might cause some problem saving the map data. Unfortunately i did not find a fix or how to recover the .umap

[icy hearth]

ASAP please

[fierce tulip]

if your umap is broken, use your version control to revert to a previous working version of the map.

if you did not use version control, odds are your map is forever lost

[thick herald]

Maybe check your autosaves.

[dim dragon]

Not to my understanding, but the x axis is horizontal and the y-axis is vertical and the face-buttons refers to the four buttons on the right side. In more complex games, you're going to want to filter this information in your player-controller before it gets to your player actor.

[blissful trail]

any ideas on how to fix this xd

[shadow ravine]

Anyone know why this is failing to cast from my animation BP for my character. It seems like the most simple task but for some reason this just won't work?

[wary wave]

if it fails, PlayerCharacter(0) is not an ALS_Synth_CharacterBP

[solemn cape]

guys whats causing this black shadow

[shadow ravine]

I'm using the same cast to on my HUD BP and it works fine?

[wary wave]

it's possible PlayerCharacter(0) is invalid at the time the top function is called

also delay inside tick 😐

(there is no good reason to do that)

[steady fractal]

@solemn cape that's the atmospheric fog

[shadow ravine]

I dunno I assumed it would prevent frame-rates from dropping when I'm constantly updating my inventory system

[solemn cape]

hmm

[steady fractal]

Um... where is killz now? (and is it still called that?)

[wary wave]

it's literally going to be working against that

all you're doing is delaying the logic in the function at the current tick by 0.2 seconds every tick

you're creating an internal timer, every single tick

[civic nova]

Is there a way of placing meshes at the origin? without drag & drop

dragging to the World Outliner doesn't work

[shadow ravine]

Alright thanks I'll remove that and hopefully it won't cause any issues with frame rates. Any ideas about my main issue? You say the player character (0) might not be valid yet

[fervent bay]

thank you so much

[wary wave]

I would generally never use delays without a very good reason (they are dangerous), and wouldn't use 'GetPawn(0)' or 'GetCharacter(0)' for similar reasons

the animBP should be able to determine it's owner

wouldn't be surprised if 'GetOwner' returns the owning character, or similar

[desert prairie]

Does anyone know a good youtube tutorial on how to make a good inventory system

I Need help with the Xbox developing I already have the Xbox dev license

[wary wave]

nobody here can help you because of NDAs

[native swift]

any chance you could help me with my issue? you seem to be the only person active atm

[wary wave]

I cannot

[stone light]

try freeze transforming joints before creating ik

[native swift]

could you explain that? im not familiar with freeze transorming

[stone light]

did you download the character or did you make it?

[native swift]

I downloaded it from the Synty Polygon pack

[stone light]

it could be that unreal engine's world location is reading the joints upside down or inside out becasue from research ive heard alot of these issues were the programm it was made from may have had it axis flipped

im not sure on this but im seen youtube viddeos on trasfering skeletons to animate and use for unreal and some of those issues happen

so if you dont have the knowledge of building skeletons i recommend to try another skeleton or another character

as IF it was this issue it would need re adjusting in the modelling programm

[native swift]

So the thing is when I remove the hand Ik transform variable from the FABRIK in the character animation, rifle state BP, I am able to move the hand in the preview viewport, which works fine, however, when I give it a socket name and bone space target through the variable it seems as though the left hand snaps to the right hand

[stone light]

you might be extending the arm in a weird angle to place it to hold the weopon

it might be that it overlaps a certain restricted angle in the ik were it might bug out

[stone light]

.

[native swift]

how would i be able to check for this?

[stone light]

try and have him in a less realistic position

to have more room

for his arm

to twist less

see if it does it if he is simply holding the gun with his hands straight

and then you can see if the animation is bad or the skeleton

[native swift]

I think you were on to something when you said that the axis were flipped, it seems like the weapons hand IK is updating the hands position in the opposite direction

[fervent saffron]

Unreal in a nutshell.

Sad that the community is small.

[stone light]

i have a deadline for tomorrow and i cant fix it man. im paanacking so much

sucks so bad

I Unreal runs audio engine on a separate dedicated thread.

My question is, how does it synchronise the audio-events on main thread and respective playback in another in case there isn't an APU(just the audio card) and the audio is complex(with some real-time processing like blending, filtering, etc)?

[stable kettle]

how can i set a variable from another widget ? I added as var and change to BP type is correctly. But when i try the set it gives a warning like i try to reach non exist property. If i create a new widget and add to viewport. Its working but widgets overlaps.

[shadow ravine]

Hi guys,

I'm having an issue with my two handed weapons where they don't connect both hands to the weapon. I'm using the ALS pack for my movement and currently spawning the weapon in the right hand, then on my Character BP Tick Event I'm trying to get the IK_Hand socket from the current held weapon/object and setting that to my IK Hand Transform variable. Then in my animation BP I'm adding a FABRIK on the left hand to update to the held weapon/object's IK_Hand using that newly set variable inside my Rifle overlay state. However, for the life of me I can't seem to workout why the left hand isn't attaching correctly. I've spent over a week now trying to resolve this and had no luck. So if anyone has any idea on what might be causing this or know where I might be going wrong I would really appropriate the help here.

This is a video of my blueprints and an example of the gameplay results:

https://youtu.be/5u_PacI9TAM

[thick herald]

Look into Quartz, it might be the thing you need.

[stoic ridge]

Do someone has aldready published a game on Xbox?

[wary wave]

like I said the last time you asked - nobody here can talk to you about that because of the NDAs - including the one you would have signed if you are working with the XBox.

[sterile lichen]

yea, they're like fighting club.

[pure galleon]

hey guys, may i know where to find the default sky sphere bp? i accidentally deleted it long time b4

[thick herald]

If you deleted the one in the engine ie not a copy of one you made, go to your launcher and on the engine version you are using click the small arrow then select verify. It will add it back in.

[pure galleon]

u mean the epic launcher?

epic store launcher?

what's the retriggerable delay n how to use it?

@thick herald is verify re downloading the engine ver?

[thick herald]

no. just the things missing 🙂

[peak merlin]

This seems like a nice read. Thanks mate.

[pure galleon]

ok 🥲

[grim ore]

if your delete it from your map, your fine (you can find it again in the place actors panel). If you somehow navigated to your engnie folder and deleted it, yeah you need to verify.

[pure galleon]

oh now that's more like it XD

what's the name again, the only sky box i find is my own

i juz verified btw

[grim ore]

bp sky sphere

its a custom engine blueprint, so it only shows up if that project loaded it (in the list). if you are using a project that isnt using it you need to get it out of the engine content

if you dont find it in the top left place actors list, you need to enable your engine content and use it from there

[stoic ridge]

Someone has published a game in Xbox?

[pure galleon]

HOLY SHIT, Mathew, is that really you???

[grim ore]

@stoic ridgemany people have published games on Xbox, why?

[stoic ridge]

I need help with it

[grim ore]

then you need to get help from your contact at microsoft, or inside Epic Games if this is regarding UE4

[stoic ridge]

I bought the license but I don’t know how to package it

[grim ore]

you will have an NDA you have to adhere to

[stoic ridge]

What’s a NDA?

[pure galleon]

@grim ore If it's really you, I just wanna say thank you for your videos. So helpful

[stoic ridge]

Where is it?

[pure galleon]

thx guys

[grim ore]

@stoic ridgetheres no way you legally have accesss to XBOX SDK without knowing what an NDA

and NDA is an "All the info I learn here is private and I can't share it with anyone else or a ninja will come in the middle of the night to make me stop talking about it"

[stoic ridge]

But can you help me pls?

[grim ore]

we CANNOT

[fierce tulip]

<_<
We cant, because of NDA

[grim ore]

no one herein public cannot help you..

[stoic ridge]

So I will not be able of publishing my game?

[fierce tulip]

if you really had a license you would know how to publish

[stoic ridge]

But for ue4

How does it work for making it uwp

[grim ore]

thats completely different

where did you get the license from?

[stoic ridge]

The Xbox dev program

[wary wave]

which "Xbox dev program"?

[stoic ridge]

I don't know if UE4 can make a compatible build with the Creators Program

[grim ore]

do you see the UE4 logo here?

because... I dont

there is a UWP compatible fork of UE4 here but its very old. https://github.com/MICROSOFT-XBOX-ATG/MICROSOFT_UWP_UNREAL

[wary wave]

you'd need an unofficial branch for UWP

hah, like that one

yup

[stoic ridge]

But you said that people aldready published games

From ue4

[wary wave]

i.e. not through the Creators Club

[grim ore]

creators club is different than normal Xbox publishing. UE4 does not "easily" support creators club. it is what it is. You will probably not be able to use UE4 for Xbox.

one of the controles is F for Focus, was not sure waht it did, so i hit F, i am stuck in a view and unsure what has happend or how to get out of it as F does not return me to my old state and i did not want to start a new project to fix it as i know i will hit F again randomly and would like to know how i could correct it

[autumn flame]

You are focusing the sky sphere, just focus something at 0 0 0

In case you have nothing i guess you can spawn a cube, set its location to 0 0 0 and focus that

[mighty charm]

ah ic thank you verry much

there is no stream today?

Thoughts on ways to limit the capsule speed?

while keeping the same acceleration settings

using a character? set the max walk speed. another actor? check its velocity on tick and using a clamp dont let it go over that value?

[autumn elbow]

Ohh.. lemme try setting max walk speed

Thx!

[robust marten]

Is there any way I can add a slight blur to an image(Texture) to make it less jagged without it creating a white border around the image? I've set the filter to Nearest but if I change the Mip Gen settings to anything that isn't "FromTextureGroup" then I get a white border around it.

[neon bough]

you would do that in your graphics program

e.g. use a rubber with soft brush, to draw along the outside, so that it reduces the alpha of the pixels around it

[robust marten]

This is created within UE4 and can not be exported

[neon bough]

you can export any texture?!

[robust marten]

Not ones created within the engine itself, here is the exported image.

[open trail]

does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade unreal projects? I made a project in 4.27 and need to downgrade it to 4.26

[grim ore]

possible yes, probably for you? no. just assume you cant 😦

[robust marten]

Just figured it out, I can actually just set the max alpha to a negative number and it goes away

[neon bough]

it may have (for whatever reason) an alpha of 0 on your actual color data

disable the alpha channel in your graphics program and you should see your image

what did you use within unreal to create the image? ILIAD?

[glacial pecan]

Anyone have a method in Unreal for a light to only affect certain objects (or rather, to only cast shadows on certain objects)? Last time I checked this was super easy in Unity, but impossible in Unreal (or at least, nobody had a method about 5+ years ago when I last searched for one)...

[fierce tulip]

lighting channels?

[glacial pecan]

Sounds promising, thanks! I'll read up on it.

[thick herald]

There is a check box for shadows.

ah no thats for the shadows being cast from them, not on them

[unkempt python]

is there a way to use a decal actor with the foliage brush tool?

[glacial pecan]

yeah, but there seems to be a from too... this looks good, but initial tests seem a bit glitchy in UE5 (which may be natural)

ah, sorry, I misread... it's exactly what you said (I'm tired... I should really get to bed) 🙂

yeah, I remember now... Unity had a shadow projector plugin, but there was no equivalent in Unreal... unreal needs a light to cast a shadow (though there was a tutorial based on some disney-wallpaper-movie-thing that I never managed to get working)

[autumn elbow]

Anyone know how to get the current frame of the animation sequence playing ?

[thick herald]

There's probably a node for that

[flint dagger]

Not quite what you were looking for @autumn elbow but may be helpful? convert the anim which gives you an explicit time.
Just a guess.
Right click the animation you want to control and convert it to a "single frame animation." Your animation node should turn into an evaluate node with an "explicit time" float input. Just put whatever time you want into that input to send the animation to that time.

[autumn elbow]

yea, that's not it. I don't think there is a built in way

[plush yew]

is there a sort of find a game channel

Im making a multiplayer game and id like to have people play test it with me

[autumn elbow]

asset player?

i don't think i have asset player section

[autumn elbow]

lol... @plush yew

what gives?!! why don't i have that ?

[flint dagger]

animation graph*

[thick loom]

What's considered best practice for getting your working files under source control for a project (IE .blend or .ai files)? I assume it's a bad idea to put them in the content folder.

[autumn elbow]

I just created a work around. I made a curve channel and mapped it to the time, then multiplied it by the animation frame rate.

I suppose that's what all the cool kids are doing these days

I'm slowing down the capsule speed to match the animation Root Motion speed.

Then I can disable Root Motion and have the capsule drive the skeleton.

A sort of poor man's distance matching.

😂

For the starts at least. Then I have to work on something for the stop animations

[autumn grail]

but if i change it to a different mesh, it shows up in the detail panel that its changed but the viewport still shows the first weapon

ok so it seems to only be meshes from Sketchfab that are not working

hi, im having issue where 'export' option is not visible when i try to export a texture from ue4.

anyone know why?

[slow musk]

I'm having issues where my Ue4 map is bright (even over bright in the system etc.) but after I migrate it to my main project where trying to open any of hte imported maps instantly crashes UE so I can't like check if the migrate works correctly. But when I package the project upload it to Oculus Quest it's super dark and even a giant light source in the middle of the site with everything set up to not give shadows it's still making the undersides dark. I just need it to be basically equal levels of brightness etc. Or if someone knows why I'm instantly crashing that would be useful as well. Feel free to @ me if oyu have a solution.

How can I change the Target Skeleton of an AnimInstance through the editor? I have a base AnimInstance and then a child for Female and a child for Male.

This might be a dumb question. But when having multiple weapon load outs slots do I need a save object per slot or just a string name per slot? I’m currently planning for custom load outs and want to properly wrap everything that I need together

[near aspen]

I'm having an idea for clipping between a parts of a character that is made of multiple meshes (in my case, body, head and cape) but idk if anyone tried that yet. Basically what I wanna try is rendering certain parts of it with a sort of negative depth bias, but only in the main viewport and without affecting the lighting in any way, as it would mess up AO and contact shadows. So pulling vertices closer to the camera isnt viable as it causes the mentioned issues. Question is: has anyone tried something like that yet, like what would be the best way to hook something like this up? A custom skeletal mesh component written in c++ or would this be something to be done with a modified material shader?

[hard glade]

I got a quick question. I got a level that is a bit too big to use as a demo, so I want to have only a part of my scene visible. Is there some kind of visibility box that I can use so that everything outside of the box is hidden and only everything inside of the box visible?

[neon bough]

@near aspen you want to trick the depth buffer or what? because moving vertices would also make the rendered part appear larger if you pull it to the camera

[near aspen]

well yeah, essentially having some kind of static bias that is applied on a component basis and only affects the z-clipping

and there's actually a material function that pulls vertices to the camera without perspective changes, but that has the issues i mentioned as it also affects the depth that is used for lighting

[neon bough]

you could probably use sublevels to workaround that

[hard glade]

the thing is I got one massive landscape and I want to show just a small piece of it

[oblique pelican]

Quick question are like c++ blueprints used commonly in industry or is it expected to use more raw c++?

[distant siren]

hi there! do you know a good plugin for saving objects(pickup money) in the game? i had tried "SQLITE" but there seems to be some problem.
I also knew of a plugin called "easy multi save"..can you help me?

[neon bough]

there are several plugins that provide saving methods for objects (e.g.: savior / rama save plugin)

SQLite can only store "primitive" data types like float, string and such, which you can also store with unreals builtin save game objects

[distant siren]

which is the best? that it is working and maybe even has some good video tutorials

[neon bough]

idk, probably not many people who tested both, but they both got good reviews on the marketplace

[distant siren]

do you have the link?

instead what do you think of easy multi save?

[cedar wave]

You'll use both. Programmers are expected to be able to do C++ and build systems that can work with BP.

Does the MakeMaterialAttributes and BreakMaterialAttributes Nodes mess with AO and Specular? I have two setups, one is working fine but it's a mess and now I'm trying to add macro variation using these two nodes, and my specular/AO will not work with it

[neon bough]

never heard of easy multi save, but seems like it also has some good reviews, check out what kind of tutorials/documentation/support they offer and then you can decide what suites you best

or roll a dice

[knotty hollow]

here's an example of my node setup (this one isn't working, but my other one is when not using the MMA node)

[distant siren]

both links you provided me are with code C++? what is the difference between C ++ plugin and a plugin that does not have C++?

[lucid grove]

Hey fellas! I get this bug when using displacement multiplier on landscape. It appears only when im looking at top of it.

[plush yew]

Well, I can't delete the previous animation, the one I would like to replace, because it says it's still in memory in the anim_blueprint. So when I delete it, it crashes UE ^^ ' So I'm looking for another way to replace the anim. For example by entering the animation at the State Machine level, and replacing the anim which is linked to "Output Animation Pose". But I don't know if this is the right way to go. it seems strange to me

[fallow remnant]

Hi everyone, any idea why I am not able to Drag the HDRI in the slot its getting red and I am not be able to put it there, I have match the setting of the HRDI similar to unreal ones.

anyone knows if you can smooth/subdevide/tessalate a skeletal mesh?

[frigid mountain]

I have a question

How would I give out game keys

[timid torrent]

I made a wave spawning system but the problem is that if I dont kill the enemies quickly before another one spawns they spawn infinitely if the enemy counter doesn't go down to 0 before another enemy spawn. I think I need to make a variable to save how many enemies have spawned already but I have no idea how to do that :c

This is my BP

If you need another ss I can send it

Hey guys. Does anyone know how I could make my camera blueprint always perfectly centered on a selected mesh?

Any idea on how to design the binding of the "ESC" key to hierarchically close widgets? I can only think of throwing them into an array as soon as they're created and every ESC press would close the last index. Any better ideas?

[calm pike]

Thanks, that will save me some headache down the road.

[north spoke]

Would you suggest to use twelve 4k texture udims for a mesh,or six 8k, or three 16k? With like GPU mem buffer in mind and virtual texture streaming and material draw calls.

[rough jasper]

HELPP

it wont work

accidently messed my keybinds up but when i click reset it will not reset them

[plush yew]

@north spokecould you bake a 16k into one mat

why would you need higher than 16k (I know there are reasons for this but im curious what youre doing where it needs that much resolution lol)

[north spoke]

Oh just making a tech demo using photogrammetry scans, noticed that 16k loads pretty sluggish in 4.27 so thought about breaking it into smaller chunks, and 16k is pretty slow to process in photoshop, substance designer, etc. I can profile and compare, just thought I'd ask if someone had already gone down that road.

[finite wren]

Does Unreal have docs for specific components? For example I want to learn about Sky Sphere. There are videos on Youtube and such, but is there just a standalone docs page for this?

[plush yew]

i have a problem in unreal. everytime i drag a mesh to the viewport it crashes

please help me guyz 🙏

[stiff bane]

fist right click the mesh and let it load first

ue wil freeze first yes

but crash less

at least for me

when you right click on it it will start compiling the shaders but doest have to load it in the scene so it reduces the load

[plush yew]

it gives me a crash report

[fierce tulip]

@plush yew you might wanna read the #rules . anything job-related (even if its just help) can only go on the job channels. (read #instructions for that)

[plush yew]

but

do you have the answer to my question above

[prime willow]

[fierce tulip]

sadly no.

[plush yew]

okay

please

guys

[wary wave]

there is literally no information there, nobody can help you

you need to install debugging symbols if you want to hope to get any kind of crash information

(I really fucking wish Epic would install those by default)

[plush yew]

where?

[knotty summit]

Hey everyone, quick question. Just need to be sure.

Let's say this function has ForEachLoop node inside and I connect the output to couple of nodes. Does that mean it will trigger for each loop for each connection?

[plush yew]

hey

please

[wary wave]

A) Don't DM people randomly, it is against the rules, hence how you have earned a block.
B) Google is a thing. Use it.

[plush yew]

i cant find it

[gleaming lotus]

When I hit any of these 'add to array element' buttons, the entire thing minimises. Very annoying. Any way to fix?

[prime willow]

you can't find google?

[shadow ravine]

Bro you need to tell people what you're one trying to do and two what you're doing when the crash occurs 😂

Hey guys, does anyone know why when I click the play button my scene takes a few seconds to become fully lit?

[grave pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/lit-fire-elmo-its-lit-bois-flames-gif-16630937

elmo takes a moment. Idk id imagine u have a ton of lights? have u built all ur lighting? Is it all static lighting?

[vocal sorrel]

@plush yew Where would I take a look at auto exposure? An hour ago it was fine but now when I hit play the problem is happening. And yeah Im on ue4

Yeah I dont even have a post process in my scene right now and Im still getting the problem

[mellow turret]

I got some 3D models from a website, they are not UE4 assets so I'm unsure of what I need to import

[vocal sorrel]

@plush yew The lighting is fine when I hit simulate but when its the Play button the lighting basically starts off and then slowly fades on

Is there anywhere else this auto exposure could be happening? Maybe I hit a key or its in my camera settings? I have no post process volumes

[idle sail]

Anyway to change the exposure values for the camera in BP's?

there no options for it

it seems

[scenic moon]

was this on purpose?

[idle sail]

@plush yew Sorry I mean like on the actual camera in the view port when you open the BP window

😅

Like theres no exposure control in this viewport

yeah would be helpful but not to big of a deal 😅

Hi everyone i have a small (i think) problem with the spawn of first player character. When I play i see 2 fp i can solve this only if I delete from the scene my fp and put the player start (but i want my fp into the scene).

Someone know how i can return to the state of default fp without lose all the code I made in my fp bp?

[neon grove]

question i have a project that is highly physics based in ue4 4.19.2
if i move the project to ue4 4.27 will i have issues?

since ue4.27 changed its physics engine from physx to chaos

[prime willow]

watching your game come alive function by function

https://tenor.com/view/purplebeck-mini-dance-dancing-dancer-gif-21399050

[prime willow]

so make sure your assets use similiar add-ons and plugins

not all of them are version compatiable

if its not compatible you might have to use a different physics system

[cedar wave]

4.27 still uses physx. There is a build you can use for chaos though

[neon grove]

is it worth to change?

like is chaos better than physx?

does it have multithreading enabled?

or is it still ran in 1 thread

[dapper hatch]

Anyone good with widgets? 😄 Haven't made any widget in long time, and now can't figure out why my widget is not updating information from array

[cinder lotus]

Hey all. Anyone here able to help out a noob?
I wanted to learn unreal. I came up with a good idea (I think) and found a tutorial on a similar kind of game and thought I'll build that to learn unreal.
Turns out the tutorial was a ripoff of someone else's. Had very little info on anything but I copied along because I didn't see anything else for a similar game style.  Till I got to the point where he was doing stuff offscreen between vids.  I've spent 2 hours fixing some of the errors but I'm baffled and out of my depth. I normally just model haha.
I have been trying to set up time and date.  It seems to be correct but I cannot seem to get the data from the gamestate blueprint into the main ui widget. So although I think the time is counting, 1. I don't know how to prove it is, 2. I can't get it to display on the screen.
If anyone can help at all I'd really appreciate it.
This is blueprints and I'm using the newest version of ue4

Happy to share screen etc to make it easy. I expect its something that can be fixed in no time but I don't have enough experience. I'm stumped to the point of giving up :/
Thanks

[brittle plume]

Sorry 😭

Why the button work in editor but no in the project packaging?

What could be the problem?

Hi friends!
I was wondering if it is possible to make the sphere collision hollow so it doesn't push out anything that is inside

[neon bough]

but you still want objects from outside to collide? like a shield?

[grizzled axle]

My character loves to get stuck on foliage trees when jumping against them. My trees have simple capsule collider and I made the trees straight, so the capsule isn't rotated in weird angles. I use character movement component, and it doesn't print any "stuck"-messages when I'm stuck. Any ideas how to start fixing this? Once I'm stuck, it never unstucks from the tree, I can crouch or jump, it won't help, so I'm grounded on the tree.

[atomic marten]

Yea I pretty much want people not to be able to enter it from the outside and people who are inside not be able to leave it

[neon bough]

hm, i think you need custom logic for that

[grizzled axle]

If I just place the mesh(no foliage), I still get stuck on it but my character capsule isnt event touching the tree. I don't have any other colliders on my player with physics collision on.

[grizzled axle]

yes, but the foliage actor doesn't have that settings. but I tried just normal mesh and disabled "can character step up on" and I still get stuck if I just jump against the tree couple times.

I don't get stuck on walls with colliders or anything else, just trees with capsule component

box collider on the tree works, so I guess CMC can't resolve collision vs world static object with capsule component 🤔

[smoky silo]

Yeah, for the most part it's because most of the questions can be answered with a little effort from those asking. Google, official docs, tutorials, the learning hub all are available. Combine that with hardly anyone reading the #rules or #more-resources , not posting in the right channel, not supplying the right information to be helped etc it wears people down over time.

[ripe obsidian]

Hello.

In Unity I was able to reduce the engine to a glorified input/rendering/audio/asset-packaging-and-loading library. The only engine 'assets' I need are textures, shaders, audio samples and meshes. Everything else (materials, cameras, etc.) I prefer to setup in code.

Another thing I easily achieved in Unity is to split my code into a .dll and then keep developing without even running the Unity Editor, by simply dropping my .dll into a packed build.

Third and last: I like to maintain my own shaders as code, and this turned out to be also trivial in Unity.

My questions:
Can I achieve any of these in UE4?
Are these achievable without modifying the UE4 source code?

Any pointers to useful resources on these subjects are welcome.

Thanks.

[limber pebble]

probably your pc

[mighty charm]

not likely

i7 11th gen, 32gig ram, 3060 12g card

[limber pebble]

[broken heath]

Yeah , what would i do with a official documentation? my question already hinted fact from some users google (unreal has horrible Ar support and good Vr support)

So I’m asking users if they know anything about UE and AR and if its got any better, maybe even in UE5

[north arrow]

what would i do with a official documentation?

Read it and see if it has features that you want? lol

[broken heath]

I have 0% idea about AR

[north arrow]

Reading the manual would mean you'd learn about it?

[broken heath]

I’m asking so i know if its worth digging in ue4 to join the AR world

Or ue5

Or maybe go to another program for AR

[fierce tulip]

i heard trough the grapevine that AR will get some good stuff, but dont know when, how, or by who.

[north arrow]

Have you played around with the AR template?

[broken heath]

Nope but i didn’t touch AR

I will look up what lous said and decide if I should start

Learning

[north arrow]

There's official tutorials you can use to get your feet wet and learn as you go and see what you think

[broken heath]

I checked , so little tutorials about ar with people in comments complaining

[north arrow]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.26/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/XRDevelopment/AR/HandheldAR/ARQuickStart/

Oh okay then

I don't think using others opinions of AR should hold much weight on your decision though, the best way is to dive in, play around and get your hands dirty

I know slightly more than 0, but doing tutorials etc has really helped

[broken heath]

Alright thanks a lot guys will check more about it , but to be honest I expected ue5 would add more to AR so i hope they do soon

[north arrow]

I think Unity might have an AR template too, might be worth trying that too so you can give a fair comparison between them and see which suits you better.

[broken heath]

Yeah , people prefered unity for Ar , and that’s unfortunate for me as i wish i keep development and learning progress in one platform and not start with unity

[north arrow]

Get stuck into that tutorial I linked then, you'll learn as you go and it'll help get your head around the process.

That's what I did with VR

Is there a way to use concave collider for a static mesh? Or is that too bad performance and not supported? Coming from Unity where this was very easy to do.

I set "use complex collision as simple", now I see the concave collider, but player or physics-enabled sphere still doesn't interact with it

[regal mulch]

The convex stuff should be simple collision

Complex is per triangle or so. Not really recommended most of the time

Also ue5 is in early access, keep that in mind. You shouldn't use it for production

[spiral shoal]

hello, I just met a stupid question but I could not find how to fix it

I put my own character in unreal, everything was built from empty

when I pressed W key, it could go forward, but character won't turn its model to forward

how could i fix it?

[regal mulch]

Is the mesh correctly rotated towards x+?

[spiral shoal]

yes

[regal mulch]

Then check the movement component, there is some boolean for Orient To velocity or so

[spiral shoal]

this is the situation

I just checked the blueprint

this is my blueprint

this is the official one

[upper nexus]

I have unreal 4.27 installed from marketplace on 1 pc, and also installed another pc.

but how come their versions are differnt

[finite wren]

@regal mulch in any case, simple or complex collision, it's not working

Ah I just fixed it nvm

I needed to change to "Block All" in both places

It seems it's 1cm. So for gun's projectile, if a m4a1 fire range is 500m to convert it you get 50,000cm. Would that be valid?

Hey guys I'm doing a post process material, any idea why this is black? If i plug the SceneTexture straight into emissive color it works. But this multiply doesn't seem to work as I expect

[autumn flame]

ComponentMask SceneTexture RBG and use a 3 Vector for Mult

Posting this here too, for some reason my FPS has been stuck around 10 in the editor until I launch my game, I even went to project settings and changed max FPS by command, can someone please help me?

It's making doing anything in this engine tedious

[autumn flame]

Draw calls? 👀

stat scenerendering

[finite wren]

@autumn flame hmm can you help me out? Not really getting it

I thought I am using a 3 vector for mult. I just converted it to a parameter

Not sure what ComponentMask is used for here

[autumn flame]

Add a ComponentMask

Check R G B on it

Connect after Color of SceneTexture

Hey, is it true that in UE Blueprint is essential and C ++ is just an add-on?
A lot of people have told me that.

||I use Google Translator||

[wraith kindle]

ue blueprint isnt essential but gets rid of alot of boring c++ codewriting but for more complex mechanics you for sure need c++ so c++ is extending your workspace

anyone got ue's water plugin working on tiled landscapes

[desert pagoda]

Okey, thx

[vapid karma]
