ue4-general

[humble salmon]

to stop the left-click working

[stable path]

Look up what I said

[humble salmon]

Get Effecting Key doesnt exist, i shall look for similar ones

[stable path]

Well, the name might be slightly different but it's there

It gives you what button was pressed

Then you check if it's the left or right button

[humble salmon]

"get effecting button"

got it

[stable path]

Yeah, that's it

[humble salmon]

i hook it into the right mouse button pin?

wait, thats stupid and wont work xD

[stable path]

Now you drag off the 'Get Effecting Button' pin and use the 'Equal' node

[humble salmon]

got it

But im left with a red pin, and a blue pin

im probably a moron and have done it wrong

[rocky epoch]

The red is a true/false boolean output. If the effecting button is right mouse then it will give you a true statement. And that you can use for branching

[stable path]

The red pin is your branch value

[humble salmon]

ah!

man i miss C# where branches are just simple if's

[stable path]

Also, you need to put the mouse event in the input of get effecting button

[humble salmon]

do i put the new branch after the sequence?

or after the right mouse button down?

got it

after the right mouse button down

man, thank you so much!

ive been at this 3 weeks xD

only last night did i think about a UE4 discord xD

final result -

[stable path]

Yeah, that looks good

What does the onrightmousebuttondown do?

[humble salmon]

idk xD

idk if i need it xD

[stable path]

Well, you can try removing it

[humble salmon]

ye

yep! still works

now, i need to make it that when i right click again, it disapears

but i should be able to figure it out

Thank you so much, there is other issues i have, but im sure you have better stuff to do than to endlessly help me xD

[stable path]

Well, there are a lot of other people here that'll help you

You can ask anything

[humble salmon]

With the new widget that shows, can i get it to display where my mouse is?

I shall send a screenshot

instead of it showing in the center of the screen, i want it to be where my mouse is when it opens

im guessing i bind it to the mouse? or smt?

[mint monolith]

You would need mouse location in 2d vector (since it's a widget) and set the menu to appear with the location of the mouse

I think

[timber fern]

Um is there a tutorial or something how I can make a save game or load game kind of menu?

So like I can load the recent saves

[humble salmon]

Thats back-end programming i think my friend.

using files

i think xD

i think

well, im going to go melt away in the bath to hopefully restore some brain power.

[stable path]

@humble salmon you'll need to get mouse location and use it as @mint monolith said

[humble salmon]

ye, imma first regain brain power

a good cup of tea should help (yes, im british)

[stable path]

@timber fern just search Google for unreal engine save game
There are quite a few tuts on it

[plush yew]

Here's the scene, trees are spawned with procedural foliage, grass is painted with default foliage, grass instance count is 333k, when I build lights ram goes up to 32 gb, everything just starts lagging. What's the optimal count for grass?

or how to optimize it

[stable path]

@plush yew you should ask in #graphics

[humble salmon]

if u want nicer physics, use the voxel plugin. (not paid version) - the paid version is $300 and not worth. the free version is good enough

[thick herald]

Subjective. The Pro version is very good.

[humble salmon]

the pro may be good, but not for $300

free is perfectly fine and adaquit for freelancers

[grave nebula]

he paid version is $300 and not worth Oh, I am afraid it is well worth it. In fact, it is likely the best thing one can buy around for Unreal.

[thick herald]

Again, subjective, depending on your needs/use case. If you don't need all the features of the pro version then great! But the pro features are super useful.

[humble salmon]

then again, thats if u have $300 spare tho xD

[spiral flint]

why the head and belly no move

[neon bough]

retargeted with wrong settings?

[spiral flint]

but what setting

i placed all the bones right from what i can see

[neon bough]

it's not the placement

there's an extra window for bone mapping in the skeleton editor

there you pick humanoid on both skeletons, and assign the bones

[spiral flint]

i know

[neon bough]

but that only applies if you did retarget that animation from one skeleton to another

is the rig correct and bones are properly weight painted?

[spiral flint]

yep

[neon bough]

e.g. does rotating the head bone in skeleton editor move the head?

[spiral flint]

yes

[timber fern]

Aight thanks

[neon bough]

no idea then, there's also bone specific retarget options, but i'm not exactly sure how they influence the result, so you may check them

[spiral flint]

just realised the hands arent becoming a fist either

[plush yew]

Yeah, don't know how to fix it though

[neon bough]

did you make the model yourself? @plush yew

[plush yew]

Switching around UV parameter values like "source" and "destination" didn't do anything, and neither did recalculating normals, high precision UV and recalc tangents, and I wasn't even able to export and reimport the model after looking at it in blender (everything seemed fine to me, but I redid the UVs and the normals)

When I tried to reimport, it told me about "failed redirect" or something

[plush yew]

Nah, first time I used models from sketchfab

[neon bough]

if you did import it from fbx there's an option to auto generate lightmap uv's

[plush yew]

I used their plugin, the exporter, maybe I should've just used the original unconverted file instead

[plush yew]

I think the sketchfab importer works on gltf

And you don't get that kinda choice, very limited

[neon bough]

ok, idk anything about sketchfab, so...

[plush yew]

Lmao

Your options on import are only "import into a folder," "import materials," and "merge actors," and something irrelevant iirc

[sturdy smelt]

better UV Maps, or Lightmap Index

[plush yew]

Yeah, I tried messing with lightmap index settings, but nothing

[neon bough]

well you can open the model, and check the UV map channels

[plush yew]

And as I said here, I tried exporting, fixing in blender, reimporting, but it didn't let me reimport it (failed redirect, or something around those lines)

[neon bough]

the one which has non overlapping UVs should be your lightmap channel

[plush yew]

Yeah, I thought they were fine, but I guess they weren't? I don't know how I'd handle the failed redirect thing though

It wouldn't allow me to put my exported fbx from blender back into the project, even into a new directory

[plush yew]

(I'll try not using sketchfab's weird autoconverted gltfs, by avoiding using their exporter, and downloading the original export by the uploader)

[ruby cairn]

anyone know of any tutorials on how to setup worlds like NW where players can fight over different areas/etc ?

[mint monolith]

Lol I'm glad I was helpful I actually never done it before but I just assumed that's the way to do it 😂

[molten agate]

i am having some problems with scaling issues in control rig, the top image gives control but warps everything and the bottom is normal but gives no control, just dont understand why it wont work

its the simplest setup ican imagine and it just doesnt work

[drowsy snow]

Do you make the skeletal mesh in Blender?

[molten agate]

yes and it is scaled to 0.1 before editing

[drowsy snow]

Unit scaling has to be 0.01, not 0.1.

[remote hinge]

Does anyone know how to open a .umap file? I've looked online and was pointed to Unreal Editor, but can't seem to find that application. The file doesn't appear in Unreal Engine's Content Browser.

[drowsy snow]

Probably incompatible UE version for the .umap.

[drowsy snow]

Also Unreal Editor = editor for Unreal Engine. It's what us devs used to make Unreal Engine games and what you're using to get Content Browser.

[remote hinge]

Thanks; I think I just found a pointer for that

I appreciate your help; I'll try other versions.

[drowsy snow]

4.27 is the newest version though 🤔
Assets are supposed to be forward compatible

[remote hinge]

I believe the asset I'm trying to open is 4.5.x, but I'm not 100% sure

[drowsy snow]

Is it an officially moddable UE4 game? Or a ripped/decompiled from already packaged UE4 game?

[remote hinge]

It has a DevKit, so I assume it's officially moddable. The game is ARK: Survival Evolved.

[drowsy snow]

Okay, so you'd grab the devkit instead of the vanilla 4.27.

[vast raptor]

How exactly do levels work with Unreal Engine? I just deleted my entire level because I don't understand

I'm confused about persistent levels

I thought they worked more like Unity's scenes

[drowsy snow]

Well, yes, at least from what I can remember from Unity 5 days.

Persistent level is basically THE level you load as the main level.

[vast raptor]

you sure? I had my menu as a separate scene and from that, it for some reason duplicated my first level, so I deleted it, and now I don't have any level in either of them

that sounds like streaming

I just wanted a menu as a separate level so I can load into my first level

I don't really have anything I want to keep persistent

this is just a test project so I can come to grips with unreal engine

so I just keep a completely blank void level as my persistent level

[prime willow]

can you combine configration files for collcions?

[drowsy snow]

Even then I had my main menu map a different persistent level.

[prime willow]

because if i import one it deletes my settings

[drowsy snow]

Collision channel?

[prime willow]

if i import the other it happens again

yes

traces etc

[vast raptor]

I'm opening different levels and it shows me that my levels are blank again so I'm confused again

[drowsy snow]

You could edit the .ini file in text editor.

[prime willow]

okie :3

[vast raptor]

my screen is breaking apart

[vast raptor]

I don’t know what happened to my laptop screen but it like broke up off to vertical lines so I turned it off

[molten agate]

TY @drowsy snow it works beautifuly now

[plush yew]

#animation

[prime willow]

so

maybe i merged it wrong :3

because i lost all of my collsions

[plush yew]

Behold

they shoulda never made blender and unreal engine free lmao ive no f*cking idea what im gonna do with it

[fathom cape]

Anyone have much experience with the gameplay ability system?

I dunno what I’m doing apparently

Are timers ok to use within an ability?

They don’t seem to replicate properly

Or well sort of, it works on standalone with two clients but not a listen server

Am I supposed to be using timelines?

[modern drum]

hi was wondering if anyone know how to make a trigger that use to open door? any youtube link for it would be nice thankyou 😄

[queen junco]

have you seen matt aspland's video?

you want a button that opens a door?

[brittle plume]

I have a problem with ADMobs

[thick herald]

Congratulations?

[prime willow]

so

after dismantling everything bit by bit

i cant seem to make my mesh not rotate when the camera moves

and im starting to think its related to something i didnt add opposed to something i did

[modern drum]

nope do u have a link?

[brittle plume]

funny 🤑

[modern drum]

found it

thankyou

Can I find where these assets are being referenced?

[drowsy snow]

Shoot, I'm running out of suspicions.

[glossy mica]

help, i'm figuring out the water system and the ocean has these white things like theyre clipping through or something. How do i get rid of this?

[modern drum]

wait i cant really find wht im looking for

i want to learn to make something like portal where u put a box on a button then the door will open

is there any video for that?

[daring cedar]

for the car configurator project on marketplace, can I swap the audi with my own car model?

[drowsy snow]

I don't see how you can't do that.

[glossy mica]

thats simple

[hollow moat]

I've finally got my game to package, but when I run the exe, nothing happens

[drowsy snow]

Have you tried setting the default map in your project settings?

[hollow moat]

Yes

[modern drum]

how do u do it?

could u somehow teach me please?

[hollow moat]

@modern drum look up box triggers

[modern drum]

ok thx

[prime willow]

@drowsy snow even without anim blueprint

or components

on a new character blueprint

same problem x3

[drowsy snow]

Not even in a brand new, never used before, third person template?

[prime willow]

well i didnt make a new project

i made a new blueprint

im thinking tis something i didnt set

as opposed to have set

[drowsy snow]

I mean this

[prime willow]

didnt do that it seems to work in other projects

or entirely new add on content

[drowsy snow]

If a brand new never before used third person template somehow retains the mesh rotation issue, I legitimately have nothing else to suss out, based on what I'm able to see from your monolithic character BP

[prime willow]

im thinking of just trowing the project at you and hoping for the best :3

[drowsy snow]

But again, I experienced few times where one project just somehow cursed and I had to create a new one and migrate.

[drowsy snow]

The transfer is going to be deterrent, though ;3

Like last time we tried getting through those hoops.

[prime willow]

yeah..

if only github worked :3

sincerely tho

i think i may of forgot to set some magical node that makes the mesh stay in line with the capsule or sumfin

idk

anyways gonna pull from a back up

[cerulean sandal]

um... i cant PIE anymore, whats going on?

[plush yew]

why did it happen? kinda funny, but why lol

[bright sigil]

check your Kill Z in world settings

[plush yew]

-1000

what does it do?

[drowsy snow]

It's what it says on the tin.

[plush yew]

turned it down to like 5k, now it's fine thx

[cloud pagoda]

Hi, I'm having an issue with my character movement

It's for a class, and for some reason my character won't walk sideways properly. Here's a video showing how she walks weirdly to the side instead of turning

I've tried everything from my limited knowledge, and I can't find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[bright sigil]

-5k or 5k?

[plush yew]

-5k

[drowsy snow]

Is your animBP able to do side walking?

[cloud pagoda]

Is there a way I can show you my screen? Or send you the project?

I'm relatively new to unreal

[bright sigil]

you'll need animations for front, back, strafing, possibly leans, and this is setup in a 2D blendspace. Being new, this can be rather tricky

[drowsy snow]

Nope, just check your animation blueprint, see if you have sidewalking logic supposed to be working.

[cloud pagoda]

I have a state machine with animations for walking running jumping and transitions

[bright sigil]

this is derived from the third person template?

[cloud pagoda]

I'll send you a picture of my animBP

[cloud pagoda]

No

[drowsy snow]

Send it here, no need for direct message.

[cloud pagoda]

Yeah I meant here

So conrad can see too

[drowsy snow]

That's confusing to look at, to say the least.

[bright sigil]

yeah, sorry, didn't really need this. what's happening here relates to the setup of the blendspace referenced within the the anim graph, not this graph. It's also its own asset if you can locate it

[cloud pagoda]

So you wanna see the blendspace?

[bright sigil]

to cut to the chase..

afaik, no template projects provide strafing animations

[cloud pagoda]

Usually when I have a third person BP the mannequin walks to the side normally

[bright sigil]

ah, then the confusion is me thinking you wanted strafing. You are expecting they turn that direction?

[mint umbra]

Hey guys! I want the players hand to move to four different positions based on mouse movement. So far Im able to tell what direction the mouse is moved, but only once when pressed - I wanna check it per frame. Do you guys have any tips on how to add that to this? 🙂 https://gyazo.com/53ebfca495b937f4c4b01449d91ee528

[cloud pagoda]

Yeah

I just want the character to turn in that diraction, exactly like the mannequin

[bright sigil]

ah ok, sorry, this is not related to the animbp, my confusion, this relates to the third person character bp

[cloud pagoda]

No need to apologise, I really appreciate your time 🙂

[bright sigil]

hoodieguy may know the setting, i cant recall it

[cloud pagoda]

I'll send you a screenshot of that

[drowsy snow]

It's going to be either Use Control Rotation Yaw or something

Can't recall it either, I'm in full material mode lol

[bright sigil]

that sounds pretty close though

[bright sigil]

its a checkbox somewhere in the settings

[cloud pagoda]

Of which node?

[bright sigil]

nothing to do with the bp graph

[cloud pagoda]

Oh gotcha so the charactermovement thing top left in components

[bright sigil]

i think you'll want to select your capsule and then check the details panel for this checkbox setting - Control Rotation or Controller Yaw

[cloud pagoda]

nvm

[bright sigil]

it could be character movement, its one of those set it and forget type things, so i cant recall

[cloud pagoda]

This is the capsule

[bright sigil]

alright, doesnt look like its here. do me a favor for the character movement and search "control" to filter it down a bit

[bright sigil]

looks right

[cloud pagoda]

Ok let me see

[bright sigil]

ah crap, so that was my confusion, it was self not capsule

i knew it was in two places

[drowsy snow]

(sorry I had to use small icons - large icons make me felt claustrophobic)

[bright sigil]

is that ue5 only?

[drowsy snow]

UE4.

[cloud pagoda]

For this one did I need it to be unchecked?

[drowsy snow]

Yes.

[bright sigil]

🤩 how?

[cloud pagoda]

That worked! Thank you both so much for your help and time. My teacher couldn't find it and his solution was "Delete everything and start over" You're both life savers

[inner grotto]

Would anyone happen to know why HLOD is mangling these meshes?

[cloud pagoda]

@drowsy snow @bright sigil Tysm, have a good one! 🙂

[drowsy snow]

You're not misreplying, don't you?

[bright sigil]

i wanted to know how you changed them to small

[drowsy snow]

Oh, it's in the Editor Preferences.

[bright sigil]

heres my settings

wow, its been there the whole time..

[cloud pagoda]

On self or the character?

[bright sigil]

the first two are character movement, the Yaw is on Self

[bright sigil]

ty

[cloud pagoda]

Had one of them still unchecked, just changed it to match. thanks for sharing

[bright sigil]

sure thing. cant recall the default setup for third person, but i think my settings also make the character turn when moving the mouse sideways, I think that's Orient Rotation to Movement doing it, but i dont remember

[mint umbra]

Hey guys. Im trying to check which of my four booleans that were TRUE last, and all four of them can be set to true during one input. How is that achievable?

If my input sets the boolean 1, 2, 3, 4 to true in that order, how can I check if 4 was the last boolean to be triggered as true?

[prime willow]

@cloud pagoda i think you have my same issue lol

if you find a solution ill definitely come back and check

[drowsy snow]

Well, I did give the solution.

[urban gyro]

Is there a .bat or smthin that can generate a DDC Pak on closing the engine? Or not having to start it up with launch parameters?>

[drowsy snow]

If it's for something like a main menu, might as well use an image widget to display the media texture.

Oh, I know nothing about XR.
#virtual-reality might now some things specific to XR stuff.

Except there could be something different with post process effect in XR that I don't know.

This could be solved with some scene depth trickeries in post process, but XR might have limitations in that tegard that normal display might not.

When does the Unreal Marketplace 'Free This Month' selection cycle? It's definitely not the first of each month, and this selection has been available for two.

[drowsy snow]

It's every first Tuesday of the month.

[raven estuary]

Are we sure this one was there for 2 i feel like there was something else last month i dont rembember what it was

[mint umbra]

Hey guys, I have a couple looping animations that are supposed to be looping until I release my input. Whats happening atm with the different outputs of the montage however, is that I cant find a proper output to meet that need: https://gyazo.com/fbe3038e757d8d7bb4ac5d181ab64680

[torpid pelican]

Thanks, @pliant echo this was driving me nuts, too!

[fallen marten]

@mint umbra it's easier to loop animations in the AnimBP. Have a state that runs the animation, tick it to looping, and then just set your transition rule according to if your input is held or released

[mint umbra]

Got'cha, I will give that a round tomorrow! 🙂 I tried checking if the input was NOT held down, and then looped back to the animation upon a notify end, which would be at the end of each montage. Probably more expensive than just using it in the anim BP, and it was far from perfect haha 🙂

Thanks!

[fallen marten]

Montages are great, but yeah it can be painful trying to do some things

[wide warren]

Anyone have recommendations on Outsource studios? Mainly looking for Co-dev UE4 engineering help. Tons of them out there all throwing around a bunch of names like WE WORKED ON HALO INFINITE but it's like...well what did you do on it? Tough to wade through all the crap and figure out who is actually the UE4 gods in the space

[fallen marten]

It's hit and miss really lol

I can't get any decent help and have been looking for ages. Admittedly I would have to do the revenue share thing, but if you want to pay people, then there is a few servers that you can advertise help wanted

Like GameDevLeague

[drowsy snow]

#hire-a-studio

[wide warren]

Yeah I've checked the hire a studio but most these are tiny niche shops (no offense). Really looking for the AAA big hitters

[drowsy snow]

Panic Button is one of them that came into mind.

As for UE4 stuff, they ported Jedi Fallen Order to Switch.

[wide warren]

Exactly what I'm looking for, thanks.

[fallen marten]

Has anyone done a glass material that can have bullet cracks added to it on hit?

[drowsy snow]

I think there is one free advanced glass material pack on Marketplace.

[fallen marten]

I'm having trouble finding Info on how to do it

Oh, yeah I have that, suppose it should check it out. I thought it was just glass that had pre-cracked effects

[drowsy snow]

Well, it's precracked, but you could reverse engineer the precrack material, and use render target to drive the "crack" mask.

[fallen marten]

Hmm... Interesting idea - ok thanks man 👍

I tried just spawning decals on it, but they don't seem to show on a masked or translucent material

[drowsy snow]

Yeah, decals is tough to work with, and not working in many situation. Render target and actor location based stamping might be your better bet.

[fallen marten]

Do you have a specific link for that stuff? Or should I just go down the Google rabbit hole?

Either is fine

[crimson owl]

Hi, which is easier to learn to make a first person shooter: UDK or Unity?

[warm salmon]

UDK ? Do u mean UE4?

[crimson owl]

ya UE4

[warm salmon]

Ig if u r a beginner unity wud be much easier to learn if u know coding and stuff

But if u hv some experience 8n gamedev u can surely learn UE4

In*

[crimson owl]

Thanks, i guess ill try to learn Unity

[warm salmon]

Ya sure

Will do <3

[glad anchor]

my bad

[jaunty cedar]

Hey, can anyone quickly help me with something? For some reason the meshdescription returned from this has 0 polygons. The static mesh being used is just the basic 1M_Cube and this is being called in begin play, the mesh is set in the blueprint

[jaunty matrix]

hello! I made this collision cylinder on my player blueprint to check if he is facing the direction of a tv so he can use a remote to toggle the tv, but ive come up with a problem that the collision cylinder now overlaps all trigger boxes in my map. Is there any way i can make this collision cylinder only overlap my tv blueprint but be disabled on everything else?

[bright sigil]

on the overlap event, check the Other Actor to be the specific one you want in a branch check

[ebon stirrup]

yes make a different object collision and set it to the TV and in the overlapping cylinder go to collision and make everything ignore except the new collision type (tivk it to overlap)

[modest trench]

I would honestly even suggest using some math instead of a collision component to check if it is facing the direction of the TV

[ebon stirrup]

this could work too ,send a line trace from the character's head and see if it is hitting the tv

[bright sigil]

that is a good point, it solves the overlap filtering, but not the facing direction

[native raven]

Another dumb question, but I've followed a few tutorials on animation and blendspaces for characters, but it's always in the idle position. How can I fix this?

trying to set a variable on my pickup so stack sizes aint reset when i drop the item

but i cant set it cuz cant link return value on spawn actor to variable like this

how do i do it correctly

[jaunty matrix]

thank you! this worked!

[ebon stirrup]

welcs

[bright sigil]

instructions on previewing different anims in the blendspace are in the graph - hold your shift key down then move your mouse, that will control the green diamond

[native raven]

Sorry, should've explained better. I meant when I hit play, it's stuck in idle position when moving around, but works in the animation preview

[bright sigil]

are you setting the speed variable correctly?

[bright sigil]

is it not possible to cast the return value?

[native raven]

I followed as it said

[bright sigil]

from what i remember, Speed should be set by Get Velocity in the anim bp, that's setup?

[native raven]

Fixed the walking animation, but now jump isnt working haha

[bright sigil]

pretty sure all of this logic is already setup in the third person template. Are you using a different one or doing something else?

[thorny pewter]

any one knows how to have games more than 2 GB and upload them on google play store ? like for example Black Deset you download some amount of game and when you open app it says game needs to download more data and then it downloads and then you have bigger game

[steady bramble]

Hi, is there any way to set the location of the static mesh as a new zero orgin? Thank you

[wild aspen]

what do you mean with "as a new zero origin"? 🤔

[steady bramble]

I mean world orgin. Like have 0 for XYZ

[wild aspen]

either change its coordinates in the transform to 0, 0, 0, or i need to still completely wake up and i'm missing something obvious 😅 sorry

if its a skeletal mesh, make sure the coordinates in the root and next nodes aren't offset (from the skeleton asset)

[ionic geyser]

I found out, for those wondering

[main cobalt]

Hi all, is there a way to have my camera render to only a portion of the screen?
eg. I want to have a sidebar pop out from the side of the screen, but I don't want my camera view to be obscured by the sidebar

Unity allows for viewport rect settings on each camera that does this.

See this example image (not mine) - the sidebar takes up part of the screen but the camera render area has been adjusted to keep the vehicle nicely centered

[drowsy snow]

You could shift the scene texture in post process with a simple TexCoord manipulation. That would shift the entire viewport sideways, and you can put your UMG sidebar to close the gap.

[main cobalt]

I worry that in doing that I would just lose part of the screen off of the left side instead of the right (with this example)

• Also I feel that this would mess with mouse click hit detection in the 3d scene

[drowsy snow]

I think you could do some hacky workaround by adding offset with mouse to world position.

Also simple addition/subtraction to one axis with TexCoord is enough to pan the texture around.

[main cobalt]

This sounds like a bit of a nightmare hahah, surprised this feature isn't built in, I've seen a feature request from a few years ago referenced in a few places but that seems to have been deleted: https://issues.unrealengine.com/issue/UE-36928

[hidden dew]

I have a pawn that's moving around as a 3rd person character.
And I have a cylinder that's chasing it around with a bit of lag. My intent was for the camera to be childed to the cylinder so there was some visual give in the camera's focus as the character moves around. It's similar to the Spring Arm lag setting, I just wanted some more control.

But since the pawn is the default pawn, and the cylinder is just an actor that's not actually needing player input, Unreal makes its own camera for the pawn and uses that, while ignoring the actual camera I've put on the cylinder.
_

What kind of thinking should I be taking here, where I want a camera that is on a different object to the main character's pawn?

Or if what I'm thinking is fine to do... how do I do it?

[hidden dew]

Can't tell what's feeding that first pin, but comparing floats with == is very, very often a problem.
Look for the "Nearly Equal" node for comparing floats.

[brittle spoke]

I was following a tutorial on YouTube maybe a week or so ago but lost the channel. In the first picture I made these 3 things. The 2nd picture shows the “categories” that everything will be listed under. The 3rd picture lets me fill in the items for each category and apply stat changes I want but do I list everything that will be in my game or only the things that I want available to the player from the start? And the 4th picture completely gets me lost and I don’t remember what I was doing with it 😓
Any help and advice is appreciated. Just want to start working on my project again.

[hidden dew]

I don't know anything about those objects you've made I'm afraid... but you have a PC! Use PrintScreen! omg

Hello. I am currently creating a character animation in cinema 4d r25. I'm using mixamo to auto rig it as well as pose morphs within cinema 4d to animate the face. I was wondering if anyone on this channel had any experience baking a joint based / pose morph based character animation in a way that's acceptable for migration (with textures) into Unreal Engine 4? I've tried Datasmith, FBX, and Alembic and for some reason Unreal Engine can't quite migrate the animated character rig with textures and joint hierarchies properly? Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

[paper cobalt]

i assume you searched your history? time to time i lose tuts or channels and i am super bumbed... always save tuts in a playlist when you can

Please help me. I have a constant crash when animating the camera.

provide more information please
using movie render queue? sequencer?

[steady bramble]

I use a sequencer.

[paper cobalt]

go to #cinematics and il talk to you there

[hidden dew]

So I just use SetViewTargetWithBlend in the Pawn's BeginPlay to immediately tell the playercontroller to use the different actor's camera.

Feels a bit inelegant, but I get the sense that this is one of those things where Unreal wants things to be done the way it wants things to be done

[tepid helm]

Hi, is there any way to avoid problems with no dynamic shadows in ortho mode?

I tried making a perspective camera, setting a very small FOV and set the camera in a very big distance, but this makes many problems related to shadows disappearing after a certain distance etc.

Someone said that I should try forward shading, but it doesn't work for me too

[lavish shoal]

what's the easiest way to make a texture jitter effect, like a ps1 shader?

[urban dust]

@tepid helm Don't do it like that. there is an option in camera settings, to make the camera orthogrphic.

[tepid helm]

ye, that's where the problem with shadows appears

Orthographic camera has no dynamic shadows whatsoever

and only workarounds here are making a perspective camera with little to no FOV

but it generates even more problems

[urban dust]

dynamic shadows primarily use cascaded shadow map, which has a limited distance.

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/Resources/ContentExamples/DynamicSceneShadows/

[tepid helm]

if I set the camera distance to about 200 and ortho with to 512, there still are no shadows

it's a known bug that otho camera doesn't have dynamic shadows

[urban dust]

hmm, there is no (good) choice then.

How can I "Interrupt" an animation montage? I want it to loop until I release my input or a state is changed 🙂 I tried with a Stop Anim Montage, but that didn't do the trick https://gyazo.com/b58989dbebab15ee2f7957a3156990fb

[trim cedar]

good question, I'm not sure either but I always minimize when I go afk, don't want to fry my GPU with the current price situation 😂

[tepid helm]

all right, i tried the FOV method and it works REALLY fine, except for few things.

shadows are very blurry, despite taking about half of screen space

[stray drift]

Could an ortho camera be mocked by a camera super far away but with super low FOV or high zoom?

[tepid helm]

i did it, as in the photo above

the only issue i am facing is with shadows, because those are still distance based, not screenspace based

[stray drift]

Pivot. Player is the god, the only source of light. IE no shadows.

Sorry I can't help you though!

Would a secondary camera nearby, but not rendering to anything force shadow rendering? 😅

[quasi sun]

Hi, does anyone understand how the vaulting system in Unreal Engine 5 Valley of Ancient sample works ? I have some questions.

[tepid helm]

tried that, nope lmao

[thorn island]

I would like to apologize in advance for any stupid question I can make. I am currently working in a small project. I spawn some actors on runtime, but the first time the actor spawns the game kind of stops for a fraction of a second. The rest are fine.
My guess is that the first actor is not loaded in memory so it takes extra time to do so.

I am thinking maybe i should prepare a little room hidden in the game and load that particular actor but with no AI etc. That should help with my issue, but I am also thinking that maybe it's not the most elegant solution. I know with sounds you can "pre-cache" them, is there anything similar for loading actors into memory when the level loads?

Again, thanks in advance for your help and sorry if I made a silly question 🙂

Cheers

[amber shuttle]

as far as i know it preloads everything that is referenced in every blueprint you're using

except streaming levels

[thorn island]

Could it be that when i spawn the first actor i change its material on the begin play?

I mean...could it be the material then?

Thanks, I will start with that

Anyone know how to check and see if three variable equals each other and add that as a branch condition? I already can check if A equals B but cannot figure out how to check check if A equals B and C in blueprints

[rocky epoch]

Check A == B and check its output with C?

I mean are we talking of booleans?

in case of float if I get it right

[modest trench]

Note: generally bitwise equal is not what you want with floats

[rocky epoch]

that is true

[modest trench]

You want to compare the values to be within .001 or something of each other

[rocky epoch]

I forgot to consider the float rounding errors

nice there is a node for that

[modest trench]

Sorry, just being nitpicky

[rocky epoch]

no, you were totally right

it could cause some issue and would be pain in the back to find it if we are not aware of that

Which is better:
To apply Pawn movement/rotations as part of the code that responded to the input event?
Or to take that input and store it in something like the Add Movement Input node, then consume and apply it in Tick ?

[zealous magnet]

Hey there! I'd like to have some general feedback on this problem I'm currently facing. I'm building a laser system in which you can take this laser mirror by the tripod legs and place it elsewhere in the world AND rotate the mirror head around on the two axes shown in the picture.

The problem I'm facing is what the best controls would be for this. Right now, you can click on the tripod legs to pick it up, and click again to place it on the ground, and when you click on the laser mirror head, you enter a "control mode", in which you can use W,A,S,D to justify the laser head's rotation. Clicking again will leave that rotation mode and give you back the full game camera control back.

That solution however has the problem that you can't justify location and rotation of the mirror simultaneously, so it's kinda hard to estimate where to place this in the level. Also, there's no grid snap for position or rotation as that would make it even harder to try to focus a target which is a couple of meters back.

Feedback is greatly appreciated 🙂

[hidden dew]

How about, instead of WASD to rotate it, hold RMB and then the mouse axes rotate it in the 2 directions.
That way the player can constantly move around while flipping between camera and mirror rotation pretty quickly, without having to actually put the mirror down first. Ie, it's constantly previewing the result.

An alternative could be mousewheel = rotation while carrying the mirror, but if there are thoughts of ever using a gamepad as a controller, it's pretty much going to demand removing one thumb from a control stick anyway, unless the right stick temporarily flips to mirror control in the same way as the above suggestion

[paper cobalt]

thats the thing!! I minimize my window and it still draws full realtime if i forget to override realtime or close viewport

[prime willow]

@drowsy snow I fell asleep :3

[zealous magnet]

Thanks! Also thought about both of your suggestions. For the first one, the problem is that you'd not have control over the camera while adjusting the rotation. I'm not sure whether it throws the player off if you suddenly are not able to move the camera around freely. Your second idea: mousewheel worked out pretty good, but the mousewheel unfortunately has this natural "stepping" cause of the way mouses are built. It'd definitely need some smoothing

A similar title, "The Talos Principle", therefore removed this physical limitation of how mirrors naturally work and just has a "click the source, then the target, and you get a laser connector device which will connect up the two"

[hidden dew]

Yeah I've got that game heh

[zealous magnet]

It's great, and I think they probably had the same design decision to make 😄

[hidden dew]

I only have the VR version though lel, so I actually can't relate haha

How much it throws the player off would depend on how things generally feel in the game I think. If it's the only time it happens, yeah could feel annoying. But in Apex Legends for example, it's really common to flip into your inventory while still running around, even though your camera control is disabled (in order to enable inventory control).

[zealous magnet]

It would happen for every laser mirror at least, so that might be a few per puzzle / level

[haughty hound]

Hello. How could i see the same assets i see in Standalone Game but selecting Simulate? I mean they dont seem the same, they look different

[hidden dew]

If not the mouse or mousewheel, any other control is going to force the player to move their hands

Like, they can't keep walking if they need any keyboard keys at all for the mirror

[zealous magnet]

Exactly

[hidden dew]

So I think it's down to yeah.. mouse or wheel

[zealous magnet]

It's kinda hard for people to figure out where to place the mirror, cause the position is depending on the rotation, and vice versa. So ideally, you'd be able to control both while walking

[haughty hound]

Anybody? 🙂

[hidden dew]

Sell the game with pedals 😄

Not sure Black Mercy. Still fairly new to Unreal myself

[zealous magnet]

Heh. It's pretty hard to figure out you see? 😄

[plush yew]

how does unreal engine produce super realistic graphics? what render engine is it using?

[patent cobalt]

Its own.

[fierce tulip]

lol

[plush yew]

wow

i mean, that is what you get when you have more than 100 people working for you

i bet that it is closed source

[bright sigil]

and several iterations of the engine for 30+ years

the entire engine code should be on git

[patent cobalt]

And you do it for 5 major versions and an uncountable number of minor ones…

The entire code is on GitHub, including the one being currently developed on

But it is not open source in the traditional sense

[plush yew]

right

[plush yew]

yeah

if anything, unreal engine is not the engine you would want to use as reference for your personal one

[plush yew]

even the rendering engine?

[bright sigil]

are you making your own engine?

[patent cobalt]

Everything is on GitHub. The full source code yes.

But you cannot legally steal from it.

[plush yew]

not at the moment

[plush yew]

but you can borrow code?

[patent cobalt]

But you can study it and learn from it

[plush yew]

got it. so no forks

[patent cobalt]

No you cannot take pieces of it and use them in your own game

You can fork it but you cannot release it with changes like it was yours

[plush yew]

i see

so private forks

[patent cobalt]

But if you make useful changes you can submit them back to Epic as PR.

[plush yew]

can you make a fork, customize it to make it yours, and then release it as closed source

[bright sigil]

its not open source >.< as a programmer you should look into the engine user agreement

[plush yew]

ik ik

i was just amking sure

[patent cobalt]

For any doubts/questions you can contact Epic’s legal department. I am sure they will be happy to assist you.

im getting a weird null error...an enemy is "pending kill" and considered null....in an is valid check...as in the actual check for "is valid" is giving me a null error....

isnt that the whole point of "is valid"...to check if its null or pending kill...kinda weird that IT would give me the null error

[dusk nebula]

obviously this is the unreal discord, but it UE better than some other options for 2D projects?

[sly coyote]

unity was originally designed as a 2d engine

it is more fully featured for 2d support than paper 2d

[forest kettle]

heya, does anyone know if theres a callback thats fired when the scene goes from being clean to dirty?

i'd rather not poll IsDirty on my Level, and would rather just subscribe to whenever it is modified. i dont think a PostEditChangeProperty will work

[bright sigil]

unreal would not be my first choice to make a 2d game in - though it would depend on the art style as well

[bright sigil]

id imagine it is tied to the same issue, hard to say, as you describe it is best mitigated with an isValid check, there's too much to guess as to what may cause it without seeing ALL associated BP logic

[digital anchor]

isvalid checks for pending kill

you probably have a chain of nodes before the IsValid, and one before the last is actually invalid @sly coyote

[coarse turtle]

I've seen in many games where you have character customization and same clothes fit them all. How is that possible?

One way is possible by keeping the body same and only changing the face.

This is old, but should get you going:
https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/295318/how-to-use-procedural-mesh-component-in-blueprint.html

There's a plugin called Runtime Mesh Component (RMC) that is meant to be better than Procedural Mesh Component (PMC). I used RMC in blueprints a while back, worked fine for what little I did, and it was deliberately designed to imitate the way you do things in PMC.

But RMC has changed a chunk since 4.23. I don't know if it's as easy to pick up nowadays

[drowsy snow]

Eh, sorry, I just woke up 🥱

[runic snow]

Thank you @hidden dew that’s helpful! Actually I was digging into Nvidia Flex and AMD’s FEMFX for mesh deformation and both of them implements FEM algorithms but that’s GPU dependent and it becomes complex to accommodate functionality for both in the project. I was thinking if it can be achieved using Niagara assuming Niagara can perform gpu bound calculations on any gpu!

I have seen people implementing softbody simulation in Niagara, so I thought that it could be possible to implement Finite Element Models in it. Again, I am not sure it will work, but it’ll be a fine addition to my knowledge

Is Rinterp fps dependent? because on lower fps it's a lot slower compared to higher fps

[drowsy snow]

That depends on the delta seconds it used. Usually delta seconds is the frametime.

[scenic fox]

hmm i was making some weapon sway and it is at lot slower on lower framerates

not sure what's going on

[drowsy snow]

I think you could get better mileage with anim BP stuff.

[scenic fox]

yeah but im doing procedurally

but im pretty sure it is framerate dependent how can i not make it framerate dependent/

[drowsy snow]

You can do some procedural stuff in anim BP. It's not just about picking the right anim sequence.

[scenic fox]

Yes but i move the root bone around for weapon sway that requires me to calculate a location and rotation which is done by rinterp

i was asking if rinterp is framerate dependent and it is

i want to know how i can make it non framerate dependent

[stray drift]

@scenic fox could you run your own custom loop? Tick it at 50/60 Hz

[scenic fox]

True but then my sway wouldn't really be accurate, i could use a timer but what time would i put?

[stray drift]

1000ms / $(tick rate) - $(current frame calculation time)

[scenic fox]

is 1000ms hard coded or?

[stray drift]

It's how you convert EG 144Hz to sec / frame. 1000 = 120 == 8.33 ms per frame

[scenic fox]

how exactly can i convert that into ue4 though?

[scenic fox]

also a timer is dependent on framerate too :/

[stray drift]

Apologies if you already mentioned this, but how are you doing the sway magnitude calculation?

[scenic fox]

using tick

using the animation blueprint's event tick

[stray drift]

You're going to need to be more specific than that, show me!

[scenic fox]

basically i have a rotator that will be used to set my loc sway and that rotator uses finterp to smooth

finterp is def framerate independent as it uses delta time

[stray drift]

Hmm I can't read the first screenshot, maybe Discord has an image size limit.

What's finterp speed set to? Have you tried 0?
Could you also upload it here: https://blueprintue.com/ and share it please?

[scenic fox]

finterp speed is 10

[stray drift]

Could you try 0?

[scenic fox]

https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/r5eap2pd/

0 works

but it's not smooth anymore :/

[stray drift]

Well that's your problem sorta solved then, 10 is way too high interp for low frame rates, it ends up losing some of the intended rotation. Frame rate drops are going to throw people's aim off, for example.

IDK what you're trying to do though, smooth out aiming?

[scenic fox]

No lmao im doing weapon sway

[scenic fox]

That is actually not the problem even if i made my finterp lower, on lower framerates the thing still moves much more compared to higer framerates, yes it's clamped on all framerates but if i move my arrow keys on lower framerates the sway is much higher

[stray drift]

If you want to keep smoothness but also not lose input entirely, you could branch your logic. FInterp (speed 10) that updates display, and F Interp (speed 0), or just a manual rotation, that updates the old rotation.

Current one is for example, where each tick you are adding .2, would do something like this:

old -> cur (calc)    == interp'd result
1.0 -> 1.2 (1.0+ .2) == 1.1
1.1 -> 1.3 (1.1+ .2) == 1.2
1.2 -> 1.4 (1.2+ .2) == 1.3

With a manual add for updating the old it would be something like

1.0 -> 1.2 (1.0+ .2) == 1.1
1.1 -> 1.4 (1.2+ .2) == 1.25
1.25-> 1.6 (1.4+ .2) == 1.375

Sorz for the horrible example, but I've got a work meeting in a few minutes and just want to do game dev myself lol

I think the main issue you have is that the old is being set off the interpolation, which means how much the delta rot affects the next one is dependant directly on framerates.

[scenic fox]

the delta rot has nothing to do with it lol, i just read online and figured out that yes indeed rinterp is framerate independent i mean why would it need delta seconds? delta seconds is the second since the last frame, that means it is def framerate independent

I want it to move at the same exact speed on any framerate no matter what

delta rotator just subtracts two rotators lmao

[stray drift]

I'm not referencing that node. I mean ∆Rotation as in the change in rotation you would be desiring. You're adding on to an interpolated value, which inherently ties the end result to the frequency of the interpolation.

[scenic fox]

No i am not adding on too my rotation, i am literally setting it?

[stray drift]

I don't think being dismissive of people trying to help is every helpful, but you do you.

Smoothly interpolate the visual element, not the calculation.

Yes you're setting it to the result of a per-tick interpolation, which makes it frame-rate dependent.

[scenic fox]

i want my end result to be where it isn't framerate independent it'll move the same exact way in every single frame

i want to know how that is possible

[stray drift]

Wouldn't that mean 240Hz players would get around 9x more motion bobbing than 30Hz ones? Sounds wack

*more frequent

[scenic fox]

No lol, on lower fps it has more movement on higher fps it has less movement

Sounds wack
why shouldn't i be dismissive about you when you say stuff like this? you call this help lmao

[stray drift]

More movement in terms of what, the angle changes more per-frame, or that the sway goes further out

[scenic fox]

Can i send you a video to show?

[stray drift]

Go for it

[scenic fox]

when i set my max fps to 30 it sways a lot more

why is that happening?

it moves around a lot more compared to 120 frames

[modest trench]

probably a calculation that doesn't account for delta time

[scenic fox]

will that fix the issue or is that the issue?

[modest trench]

that is the issue, if you do something every tick to move something a certain amount it should probably account for how long each frame is

[scenic fox]

How can i account for how long a frame is in rinterp?

[modest trench]

without seeing any of your math I can't say anything

[scenic fox]

https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/r5eap2pd/

[modest trench]

ah, I should have scrolled up

[scenic fox]

so uh?

[modest trench]

I believe on your lower tickrate the delta will be higher between now and the previous frame

[stray drift]

If you want constant rotation, I think RInterpTo Constant is what you'd be after no? Looking at vid frame by frame in a second to double check

[scenic fox]

Yes on lower framerate the delta is a lot bigger

[scenic fox]

does rinterp to constant require delta./

[scenic fox]

still no change on lower framerates it moves a lot more

i guess there's no way to fix this 🤷‍♂️

[stray drift]

Have you looked at how to use it, or just dropped it in connecting wires whatever way looked right?

[scenic fox]

What exactly do you mean? i have tried multiplying delta seconds by a certain value and that doesn't work either that won't work cause delta seconds is different on every framerate

[dapper bridge]

Is there anyone that could help with replication for multiplayer? Im just trying to open a door, and its not working correctly. the server seems to be fine, and replicates door opening in client, but trying to open / close the clients door does nothing for the server. Heres the code within the door BP

is unreal 4.25 the worst ?

cant edit animation frames correctly, weird savetimes on some assets

[rigid yarrow]

interesting aye guys check this out
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games

[drowsy snow]

Yep.

[rigid yarrow]

so whats with this game you picked. im guessing you have involvement with this game ?

[drowsy snow]

No, it's just one of my favourite game from my favourite series.

[rigid yarrow]

ahh nice. ima GTA freak. but i like others also

Debug symbols Inc.

[neon magnet]

I have the debug symbols

this is the first (or maybe 2nd) time it's reported such information-less errors

I don't understand why these are happening in the first place. These are all core- or engine-related errors. My engine is completely vanilla, I'm just using BPs and nothing complex.

contrast this with UE5 which is a preview lol and it has never crashed

[plush yew]

how do i set a variable on a spawned actor if the class is set like this

[summer verge]

ERROR: Unable to find installation of PDBCOPY.EXE, which is required to strip symbols.

Anyone seen this before?

[brittle tundra]

Hello I'm not sure where to post this I have a nasty crash when building my lights:

https://pastebin.com/EfcZbZTM

[prisma quarry]

I have a problem when I open the project created on a windows pc on a Mac. It gives me everything washed out, it seems to be a gamma problem I think. The lights are all movable and the parameters are identical for both files. Exported via Unreal archive (Zip). Anyone know what the problem is?

[vestal anchor]

In your custom event, set the class to the actor with that variable

[plush yew]

Looking for some advice - I'm developing a game wherein I need to swap from Day and Night seamlessly with a button press, however I'm a bit stuck on how the best way to go about this is.

Nothing needs to be dynamic, ideally I'd like two saved and baked states that I can switch between, is this possible?

[last topaz]

Hello, how can I make sure a cooked project is running at full cinematic quality?

Nvm found the cvar's.

[drowsy snow]

I'll give you the dynamic way anyway, because as of 4.24, you can use Sky Atmosphere (NOT Atmospheric Fog) to get a dynamic day night cycle in almost no time.

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/BuildingWorlds/FogEffects/SkyAtmosphere/

[plush yew]

It comes from a data table

[vestal anchor]

Then set the class in the data table

[plush yew]

Did

and all items will have children of same shit so they will all have the variable

but it wont let me link it cuz it could not have it

[warm salmon]

Hey, just wanted to re-ask my question: wot will be the basic workflow of creating A full fledged game in UE4?

[plush yew]

@vestal anchor I got another problem tho

it only sets the stacksize variable if im playin as server

if im on client it sets it to 0 nomatter what

[vestal anchor]

If your return value is still Actor, you still haven't set it up properly.
It's probably not getting set because you're just setting it for the server and never the client but I haven't done much replication so dunno

[bleak zodiac]

[white coyote]

Hello everyone,
I added a member to a blueprint struct and can play in editor and launch successfully without errors, but now I get "unknown structure" errors when building. How should I handle adding members to existing and frequently used structures and how do I efficiently handle the build errors? thanks!

[vestal anchor]

Unknown structure is a common bug with structs made outside of C++. I was able to fix it by going into the blueprints that are getting the error and going into "File -> Refresh all nodes". But that is just a temporary fix, it might come back. I've never had the issue with structs made in C++.

[white coyote]

yikes that's not good 😅 thank you for your answer and fingers crossed I can fix it by refreshing the (multiple) classes. Won't be touching blueprint structures again... :/

[real moth]

Can anyone help me as I can't commit my project, I am new to ue4 still and especially new with source control

[drowsy snow]

It's what it says on the tin.

[real moth]

but what about the lock file like wtf do i do with that

[frozen stratus]

Can someone help me on how to fix the up and down rotation of the solar panel? Basically on one side of the mesh the tracking direction is opposite to what it should be. The first rotation transform on the blueprint works correctly on it's mechanical "joint" shown first on the video, but this second one doesn't, panel tracks to opposite direction. If I track the pitch value basically it returns the same value on both sides of the mesh, not the opposite. If just add some multiply by negative/positive depending which side of the axis we are, it just cause the panel to mirror flip itself instantly when the side changes so that didn't work. I've been trying to track these values, try negating some of the inputs and outputs in different combinations but can't figure this one out. (I know on screenshot one node is World and one is Relative rotation but it doesn't matter here which one is used)

[modest trench]

Delete it in the git directory

Also, googling that error should give you the answer

[hidden aurora]

Kinda stupid question, can you rollback a project from 5.0 to 4.27?

[drowsy snow]

5.0 Early Access to 4.27, no.

But you can rollback 5.0 Early Access to 4.26.

[hidden aurora]

Really? Thanks

[fading marten]

Regarding Creative 2.0 aka Valkyrie, and as far as we know we'll be able to dive into blueprints (materials / vfx etc.), do you think Epic Games is going to give us the possibility to use fortnite assets for personal project outside of Fortnite ? Or a at least use them as examples ?

[oak sequoia]

Is there a way of combining two skeletal meshes? I have two assets, for example Left foot and Right foot, is there a way to combine those together so they can just be "Feet". Trying to create an equipping system and dont want to have Left and Right foot slots

[primal tendon]

is there any easy way to control emotions/expressions of metahuman? I have no iphone and not planning to buy one, should I take something like iclone?

[drowsy snow]

"Combine" them in your pawn/character BP.

[lavish shoal]

Should i upgrade from ue4 to ue5? is it stable to use and better?

[drowsy snow]

As of now? No.
UE5 is still unstable at current state, despite what some people want you to believe.

[lavish shoal]

good to know, i'll stick with 4.27.4 for now.

sorry wrong version

[drowsy snow]

Also unless you really need specific UE5 features, it's still cool to use UE4 and ship the final product with it. I certainly would.

[lavish shoal]

that makes sense. i just wish there was a way to make the UI in ue4 more smooth and simplified, i guess

[drowsy snow]

Eh, I felt UE5's UI is way too claustrophobic, lots of unused space, not much wiggle room in 1080p.
UE4 felt more compact, roomy, and all around more space to work with (even more so with small icons)

[lavish shoal]

what i mean is like, the icons look dated to me, if that makes sense. i know a lot of people like it but its just weird compared to other programs.

[drowsy snow]

[solar tartan]

Hello guys, I have this problem and no idea how to fix this, I used same engine version. how should I fix this?

[stray drift]

Have you restarted the editor?

[neon bough]

1kb sounds pretty small, are you sure that the files aren't corrupted?

[stray drift]

Sounds like tiny scripts, not that small is it?

[bitter lodge]

I've imported some Megascan assets from the UE4 marketplace, and any time I open any asset from the pack, even a material instance, my CPU maxes out and it takes ~5 minutes to open the single asset. I've never had this issue before. Any tips?

[winter bluff]

are there any tricks how to colorgrade greenscreen footage so that the "lit" mode actually makes the scene light the greenscreenshot the way it would feel naturally with the light of the scene?

[solar tartan]

yes

[solar tartan]

its just some data tables

but many files like those disapeared in engine and in folders still there

I verify the engine

its conected to the github and the others have the same problem

we all using 4.27.1

[whole solar]

guys how do i make like realistic moutains?

my moutains looks like playdoy

[viral carbon]

use a heightmap or use a mountain brush

[warm salmon]

Ya

[whole solar]

i do use those

but like i make it

detailed

my moutains looks like this

[warm salmon]

Use a height,ap

Heightmap*

[whole solar]

oo

whats that?

[viral carbon]

use a higher resolution landscape

[tender pecan]

use git history, and see maybe there was a merge that went wrong. try and restore a previous version to see if it comes back. those files are probably corrupted from git merge my first guess.

[whole solar]

OO

i only use that to make the map

the floor

but i didnt know u can do htat

[warm salmon]

According to google: In computer graphics, a heightmap or heightfield is a raster image used mainly as Discrete Global Grid in secondary elevation modeling.

Actually I don't know the correct definition

But they surely make mountains realistic

And there are many softwares to make heightmap

[whole solar]

that actually helps

thank you guys

[warm salmon]

Hey

World machine is one of them

The heightmap creation tool

I use it constanly

[whole solar]

really

is it good?

[tender pecan]

World Creator is another. They are all good . and they are all bad. 😆

[bleak zodiac]

also can use smooth on your landscape the edge

[hollow moat]

How can I change the root component position on an actor?

SetRelativeLocation doesn't change anything

Or maybe if that doesn't make sense, can I change how Setup attachment works so it doesn't attach it to the center?

[stable path]

I believe there's an Attach To Component node that lets you attach something to a specific component

[stable path]

Have you tried SetActorLocation ?

[hollow moat]

It's cool I just had to set the relative location of the floor piece

Had a brainfart is all 😄

[odd solar]

does deleting the DerivedDataCache in %localappdata% break the engine

my TObjectPtrs suddenly do not work 😦

and my Git doesnt reflect any changes that would break TObjectPtrs

yeah

a pointer to a TQueue

specifically a TMpscQueue

unfortunately not

i looked through the changes I did in Git and nothing should have broke it

it was actually running perfect up till i deleted ddc because it was eating up like 200gb

can't even restore the ddc now, the folder was just deleted bc it was too big

[hidden aurora]

Maps are not compatible though

[neon bough]

anything missing in DDC would be rebuild anyways?!

[honest patrol]

Um I accedentally deleted the ue4 SaveGames directory folder is there a way to get it back or do I have to start a new project?

accidentally*

[exotic thicket]

It should just recreate it automatically

You also should probably look into using source control software if you aren't using one

[honest patrol]

weird because I tried recompiling and saving my game and it wont appear and no .sav file would be created. But I'll look into some source control, its something I haven't really thought about.

Only the first one worked. the others dont work. i click them but nothing happens it says they are completed 😦

[plush yew]

Hello everybody, I have a question for my friend, how do I combine/merge .uasset and .uexp files into one? The developer of the game allowed us to mod it but we don't know how.

[sharp crest]

does anyone know if saving a material will actually make the shaders compiling faster?

rather than waiting for them to finish in the background

because when I save a material it will freeze the editor until all is compiled

would it be faster or not?

[drowsy snow]

No. Increasing ShaderCompileWorker priority in task manager could speed things up instead.

[sharp crest]

okay thanks will do that

[glacial needle]

Hey guys, my game save system works fine, but if you close the game all data is lost... anyone know how to get around this?

[sharp crest]

what do u even mean lol

r u saving the save data to a file?/

[glacial needle]

@sharp crest I mean that when u go to the main menu after saving the game, u can then rejoin from that savepoint but when u close the app, all data is lost and u cant join

[sharp crest]

I get that but I dont get how thats possible if u actually have a save system

[sharp crest]

my whole pc is running at 1 fps now but at least the shaders are compiling faster 😂 already at 9.7k

[glacial needle]

well that would be because the app doesn't save data when closed since all data is cleared. i'm asking what is the way to make it save data when closed.

[sharp crest]

just use the save node

google ue4 save system

Save game to slot

[drowsy snow]

Well, the shader compiler actually uses the most out of your CPU once the priority is high, so it kinda affect the desktop performance, but at the cost of the compiling being faster.

[daring cedar]

Can I do virtual video production with a short throw 4k short projector instead of LED walls? Will I be able to get parallax effect?

[sharp crest]

Yep makes sense, worth it XD

[icy mulch]

Hey I am in need of some help im trying to create ai were it catches you it plays a punch animation then its game over

[sharp crest]

What do u need help with exactly

[drowsy snow]

Parallax effect, no. But maybe you could use some backside projection?

Or book an event organiser to rent some huge LED panels.

[daring cedar]

Rear projection better than front projection?

[icy mulch]

I'm trying to make a blueprint for example i have the ai chasing my character but I I want to play a animation when it catches the player then a widget appears like saying game over

[drowsy snow]

I mean, the image is projected from behind, kinda like how vintage filmmaking works.

[sharp crest]

There r so many things u just described that u want to do. Be specific

Do u need help creating a widget or what

[drowsy snow]

Logic: If distance between player and AI is less than or equal to certain amount, disable input and execute game over events.

[glossy mica]

Anyone know why Waterbody exlusion volumes aren't working?

[plush yew]

how can you increase rain size, so it rains over bigger area? this method is pretty crazy and time consuming, and will probably end up in crashing lol. When I change it's size by dragging, the quality changes and turns it into very big, kinda fog/tornado rain drops that give major fps drops. I want to keep the same rain drop size, just make it fall over a bigger area.

or should I just get weather system instead for a big map

[drowsy snow]

Increase the emitter area in your Cascade editor and adjust the spawn rate accordingly.

[plush yew]

Which setting exactly?

[plush yew]

i don't think this will work, map is way too big and pc fans are going crazy when I add rain just in the front

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/infinity-weather

thinking about this one

[drowsy snow]

I wager you could get better control with Niagara, but I won't stop you from buying ready to use solution.

[plush yew]

i want to create fog, rain, storm and a bit of tornado

like things are flying around, but not too crazy

i tried niagara, but it was confusing

[sterile garnet]

guys, what may cause this mesh to be deformed like this?

[stone stump]

weights?

[sterile garnet]

prooobably, but I'm not a 3d artist :/

any advice would be useful

[stone stump]

Hey guys is there a documentation or a good tutorial on how to use these effectively to make an environment look good(how to use them properly)?@me

[stone stump]

How did you rig this?

[sterile garnet]

my artist did it in blender

[stone stump]

does it work properly in rigify in blender?

[sterile garnet]

probably yes

my artist was making rigs and animations before but for unity

[stone stump]

i might be wrong but i think the weights are messed up, tell the artist to mess around with weight painting in blender and see if that works

when you imported this did you make sure you assigned a skeleton @sterile garnet

its in the options under mesh

[sterile garnet]

yeah, animations work

I've done it several times already

only this model has a problem

[drowsy snow]

Looks like scaling issue to me.

And yeah, Unity don't have to worry about Blender's unit scaling, but Unreal does.

[tough oyster]

Is there a trick to collaborating on a project with plugins that some of the team may not have bought?

[marble mist]

someone knows where to download weapons that can be animated other than on the unreal engine page

[drowsy snow]

Sketchfab is another site to go, but pay attention to the licence.

[sterile garnet]

why do you want to animate weapons and how?

[marble mist]

I did not express myself well, to be able to do the reload animation, because in some weapons it does not allow

[drowsy snow]

Also in Sketchfab, sometimes weapon models do feature separate meshes for the parts, but not rigged.

[dense knoll]

UE4.27 has dynamic lighting via bloom?

[drowsy snow]

Looks like SSGI to me.

And yeah, it's screen space, so not a true emissive illumination.

Hey! So I'm pretty new to unreal, but what are some good places to find assets? other than the marketplace of course

I don't think there are good places specifically for unreal except the unreal marketplace but ya u can find 3d models independently...... not getting the site's name! Will ping u when I remember

[warm salmon]

And also unless u model some 3d assets by urself

[wintry raft]

Oh that's true, do you recommend any programs for that?

[drowsy snow]

Blender is the one that's free and usable.

Also I'm surprised there's not much resources on this online. This WPO node is like magic and perspective defying.

[old oasis]

Hey y'all just joined this discord -- I'm super desperate for help right now with a rendering question

Is it ok if I shoot it y'all's way?

[dire parcel]

@drowsy snow really be helping people all day long

you da real mvp

[drowsy snow]

I suppose you could improvise from third person shooting logic, but instead of guns, the weapon is a camera. Also line tracer could be replaced with sphere tracer.

[old oasis]

Just to shoot my shot -- I'm currently using a construction script for material switches, iterations, and static mesh switches

I have it all keyframable in the sequencer, and the camera cuts/scrubbing validates that the BP is working

but when I render in the both the sequencer renderer and movie render queue it seems the construction script doesn't fire for every frame (it just hangs on the frame most recently constructed). Any thoughts?

[drowsy snow]

Construction Script only got executed in construct time, which means it only run once the moment the actor is getting constructed, NOT every frame.

You might want to look for Event Tick instead and put your update logic there, which is executed every frame in runtime (but not in editor).

[worn flame]

thanks im novice in this xd but i can undertand and learn fast is not for money is for passion you know is the most value thing for me, yesterday my head was hurt seraching how to the third person can kill me with one touch and i could do it, so if you put love in what you do, you can reach the top of the mountains , thanks again 😃
