Look at this thread as well, cause apparantly cmc doesnt work without a player controller

Unless your player 2 doesnt use cmc

[rough ore]

right now i mainly just have two blueprints: player2 (left) and player1 (right)

[grim ore]

@exotic geyserlook at creating a new PlayerCameraManager class and applying it to your PlayerController, you can set limits for you view in there

[oak patio]

Or look into how to do local multiplayer properly

[exotic geyser]

thats what i'm currently doing

[oak patio]

Thats another option

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/any-tutorials-to-make-a-local-multiplayer-game/366051

Just found this thread on it

[oak patio]

In general eqch bp should be responsible for its own functions, so you shouldnt be moving the second player from the first one

[grim ore]

are you changing them at runtime for some reason?

[exotic geyser]

yes

[oak patio]

Id look into how to properly do local multiplayer instead

[rough ore]

uh huh, ok...

[grim ore]

if you set them and test, does it work. without changing, but setting it to that value at design time and playing.

[exotic geyser]

let me check

[grim ore]

so it starts out with that limitation, to see if the settings are bad or some other code

[exotic geyser]

here's the issue in action

[exotic geyser]

same issue when it's set by defualt

[grim ore]

it looks like its working at the start? how are you handling the looking and the rotating of the character

[exotic geyser]

it works at start because of the Y rotation of the player - which is 0 on start. the rotation of the character is handled by Use Pawn Control Rotation

[grim ore]

your using one method to rotate the camera, and another to rotate the player right?

[exotic geyser]

no...the character itself uses the controller rotation yaw

[grim ore]

and does your camera use the controller rotation yaw as well?

[exotic geyser]

well the camera is attached to the mesh

[grim ore]

yes but you are manually moving it as well arent you?

[exotic geyser]

yes

[grim ore]

and your camera move code?

[exotic geyser]

yeah this is it

[grim ore]

so how are you moving your camera and not the player, when it looks around

your free look mode

[lapis ore]

I have some glass that is animated using Vertex Animation Textures. It flickers in a cooked build, but not in Editor. Any advice on what to look at first, in order to stop the flickering?

[wet quail]

how I delete this level forever? it keeps coming back when I open the project

[grim ore]

what is the name of it in the top left?

thats the default level now, so maybe your project was blank with no template and its loading that in

[tight gazelle]

Does anyone know how to force my computer to run Unreal on my Nvidia 3070, instead of Intel UHD? It like... really wants to use my shitty graphics chip, regardless of where I set otherwise:

[mint umbra]

Hey guys, I've got a main menu which runs its own gamemode & controller. When I load a new level I've overriden those gamemodes & controllers with the proper gameplay setups - however, if I load into the maps the gamemodes aren't being set properly. Sure, I'm loading my new player character, but none of the HUD & gamemode-specific setup is displayed. Any takes? 🙂

[grim ore]

it looks like it should be using it, how do you know its not @tight gazelle ?

[tight gazelle]

@grim ore Because when I run Unreal, UHD shoots to 99% usage, the 3070 runs the same as before, and my computer starts running horribly

[wet quail]

thanks, totally forgot I had to change the default map

[grim ore]

open the output log and search for adapter, see what it says

[tight gazelle]

LogD3D12RHI: Found D3D12 adapter 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU (Max supported Feature Level 12_1, shader model 6.6)

That does make it sound like the 3070 is chosen

But then why does my Task Manager show UnrealEditor as using GPU 0 (Intel UHD) as my GPU Engine? 🤔

[grim ore]

perhaps its going through it since your not using the 3070 as dedicated

my only real suggestion is to see if that laptop has a mux switch to disable the onboard gpu so this isnt an issue, if not. there are command lines you can use when running the editor to force which adapter to use.

[chilly crow]

hello guys I am new here and I have few questions about unreal engine 4 and multiplayer and servers etc where I can ask?thank u

[dusk nebula]

also just ask the question instead of asking to ask it

[chilly crow]

i am degen sry

[wild dagger]

I'm getting this error when trying to refresh visual studio code project (same error if I right click .uproject -> generate visual studio project files). Anyone know how to fix it?

[autumn flame]

That looks like a Perforce denied permission

[earnest pawn]

hey, is there a way to make it so that all your marketplace assets get's added under a specific folder?

I don't like it when they get imported into the root contents folder

[wild dagger]

Confirmed, project folder was set to read-only, I'm assuming by perforce. Unticking that solved the issue

[autumn flame]

There's a check in the settings to not make them read only

Of the Workspace

[wild dagger]

Should I have done that instead? Was unticking that box a bad idea

[autumn flame]

It's good, that's just to avoid perforce doing it again in a future

[wild dagger]

I see thank you

VSCode starts properly now but throws a new error once inside :/

Seems to make all the #include throw "cannot open source file"

[autumn flame]

Not sure, never tried to compile with VS Code

Searching the error may return some results

[wild dagger]

Yeah doing so right now

[drowsy snow]

You have to move them manually. Marketplace assets are essentially entire Content folder

Also doing it outside Unreal Editor can break references to assets, so that's that.

[winter zenith]

how do I add a variable to a call

[autumn flame]

I imagine it's a dispatcher, so you do it where the dispatcher lives

[winter zenith]

got it thansk

[plush yew]

how can you make foliage stay visible from a birds eye type of view/far away distance? what is the optimal screen size, triangles and all that stuff

this is what I got, something is messed up there

[timber yacht]

should I learn blueprints first

or the c++ programming first?

because my end goal is to be able to use them both to my bennefit

[drowsy snow]

Both

[timber yacht]

yeah but which should I learn first?

because ive already learned some c++

and I want to put it to good use

[drowsy snow]

But starting with BP first won't hurt. Least you're getting used to the higher level working of the engine.

[timber yacht]

ok

https://www.udemy.com/course/unreal-engine-5-blueprints-fps/#reviews

should I use this course you think?

[plush yew]

Udemy kind of sucks.

[timber yacht]

because it seems like its the newest and most modern

[drowsy snow]

No.

[timber yacht]

bruh

[timber yacht]

why not?

[drowsy snow]

See pinned message for Unreal Online Learning courses.

[plush yew]

I did all the popular Udemy classes this year for unreal engine and they are worse than garbage.

[drowsy snow]

Because Udemy sucks in most part

[timber yacht]

really

how does it suck?

[plush yew]

The guy doing the class will spend the first several hours walking you through the creation of blue prints from scratch -- but the blueprints are in fact the default starting blue prints.

[timber yacht]

oh

ok

[plush yew]

His C++ class is even worse.

[timber yacht]

yeah I took one other udemy course and im gonna return it

its really boring

and actually almost motivated me to quit

[timber yacht]

all of them are unreal engine 4 though

[drowsy snow]

Doesn't matter. UE5 doesn't deviate much from UE4 when it comes to BP basics.

[timber yacht]

oh

whats the difference between the two?

[plush yew]

UE5 doesn't exist yet. Its in preview.

UE4.27 is essentially the same thing, minus lumen / nanite

[timber yacht]

but ive seen people use it

[drowsy snow]

Do aware however, that some nodes are renamed in UE5, and math nodes are are universal in UE5
Other than that, it's pretty much the same

It's not like ye olde days of UDK/UE3 to UE4

[plush yew]

Considering the graphics card crunch and such, I think it'll still be some time before lumen / nanite are able to be fully used.

[drowsy snow]

Not to mention Nanite recently raised the requirements a lot

[green light]

how do you get access to hire sections?

[drowsy snow]

#instructions

[rich bough]

So I was working on my vr game and I load the main map and every cube is gone and I can't place anymore.

if you look at the left the cube says none

I recently downloaded UE5 and a few plugins but that's it. Can someone help me?

[plush yew]

remove the search query in the top right

[rich bough]

nothing happend

[plush yew]

Your scene says 400+ unbuilt objects

They are there just hidden

[rich bough]

oh

thanks, I am new I didnt know they hide if they are unbuilt

lemme tr

y

[plush yew]

Thats not what i meant

I am away from my PC currently but I think you are having a UI mixup

[rich bough]

Whats that?

[plush yew]

In all my years using unreal I have never had a scene just delete itself. Its more likely that the objects are hidden somehow.

[wild dagger]

Trying to generate visual studio project files from right clicking on the .uproject does not create the .sln file. Anyone know why?

[green light]

@maiden swift how do you get access to the hire channels?

[maiden swift]

Read the #instructions

[rich bough]

How can you access them to unhide them?

[maiden swift]

Ctrl + H to unhide all objects in the level.

[lavish garden]

Does anyone seem to get stuck on a box that pops up with "connecting to swarm" or something that sits there forever?? is there a way to make that go away?

[rich bough]

didn't do anything

[maiden swift]

Then there are no hidden actors.

[plush yew]

Is it possible you didnt save your level? or are in the wrong level?

[rich bough]

this is what happens when i try to place a cube

[rich bough]

no this is the only level I have and the last think I did was the lighting

so it had to save

[green light]

ok guess I just read them and contact, wish it was in categories for easier reading, like 3d modeling, lighting, sound, blueprint, C++ but i will scroll through when i have more time

[rich bough]

ok I can import cubes that are in my content browser

[lavish garden]

sorry, it's Starting up Swarm Connection.. and then it just sits there

stairs at me.

[rich bough]

what pc do you have?

[lavish garden]

5900X/1070

[rich bough]

how long have you waited?

[lavish garden]

between 40 secs - 180 secs..

[rich bough]

it usually takes me 5-10 minutes to build the world, just have it run in the backround for a little and see if it works

[lavish garden]

ok. cool.. so it's normal to have it;.

[rich bough]

yea, how big is your project?

[lavish garden]

started a new one, created a 50x50 landscape.

[rotund scroll]

not a bad suggestion, you could maybe add that to #server-feedback instead of pinging the admin of the server directly

[rich bough]

Ok yea just wait like 5 minutes and see if it works

[lavish garden]

rock on, thank you!

[rich bough]

np

now I just got to fix my problem

[lavish garden]

(have fiddled with previous versions, getting back into it.. )

[tiny valley]

Why almost all landscape assets on the marketplace have horrible fps, there are games like Zelda that get great fps with massive landscapes on mobile. Any landscape optimization tools available, I bought this pack here https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/elite-landscapes-alien-part-iv and it gets 0 fps. While games like fortnite get 800fps

[wise pagoda]

I got this error when executing InstalledBuild with command BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script="Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml" -clean

I just want to release distribution for my team....

[plush yew]

Can someone please make a game launcher that has live updates from github repositories!!!

u upload a new version of your game people that have the launcher already installed will also get the new install!!

just some simple but clean launcher that pulls your game from github repository every time it sees a change it updates the game

[wise pagoda]

I mean, the target is the engine itself

It takes much time to build it so I want to give them a usable one

[rich bough]

so now this is happening

[plush yew]

Fortnite and Zelda are using really stripped down versions of the engine that disable some effects or emphasize others. Their textures and such are made in such a way so as to be extremely optimized as well.

[rich bough]

It starts off normal then gets way too bright

[rich bough]

@scarlet birch

I can’t get on vc but you got any ideas?

[timber yacht]

I cant find the bluepirts tab on unreal engine 5

where is it?

@rich bough sorry if someone already answered youi but that issue there is auto exposure in your post process set min and max to 1 and 1 or look into how to properly use auto exposure to get better settings

[rich bough]

Ok thank you so much!

[shut nova]

So I want to make water in UE4 that’s not single layered and looks relatively close to this. I tried using the water plugin for UE4, but I couldn’t get this result with anything I scaled. Does anyone know of any tutorials or master materials that can produce a result like this?

This is also close to what I’m going for

[plush yew]

I hate to compare Unreal to Houdini and Maya but is it possible to add a heightmap to a brush for terrain editing

for example I would like to add a height to my brush so i can paint in geometry in different sections of my map

@shut nova try editing the master material for the water to have scattering

subsurface scattering might work in this case idk im still trying to figure out the landscape tools lol

[shut nova]

That made it better but I’m primarily having this issue where when I look down the specular goes crazy. How do I fix this?

[plush yew]

@shut nova idk much abou unreal but i have a good understanding of pbr water

ill send you my material when i work one out

[shut nova]

Thanks I’d appreciate that

I have a feeling some other parameter is messing with the specular and they need to correspond in a way but I have no clue what that would be

[plush yew]

subsurface materials can mess up both rough and specular

you can counteract this by increasing the base colors gamma

[signal jetty]

Why Idea why this won’t work now?

[signal jetty]

I remember trying with UE4 to check it after a while I was able to get it work.

It still seems to be glitchy Damm

[leaden yacht]

This could be interesting, thoughts?

[dim merlin]

Anyone knows how the foliage system in Unreal works? Is it just a HISM ?

[twin prism]

yea

you can do everything u can to a normal hism

[mental solar]

My project somehow became an older "save" of itself, that I made 2 weeks ago or so. What has even caused this? How do I turn it back to the newest? I'm not opening a wrong project file (I think, because I searched trough all .uproject files, and this was the only one with the name I need).

[silk pebble]

i have the same problem in ue5 preview 2, did you manage to fix it?

[fast orchid]

Yes, changing import option to compute normals fixed it for me

[silk pebble]

cool, thanks for your help, ill try it out.

Sadly it didn't help, i tested my mesh with the same import settings in ue 4.27 and there were no issues, so it must be a engine bug in ue5

How do you integrate road plane into landscape? I have a road floor mesh that makes you fall through it if you place it as a mesh. In preview project it's already built in into landscape itself.

or how can you make it walkable on so that the player doesn't fall through it

If I want to make a survival game with procedural generation in each world I don't know whether to use ue4 or ue5, because in ue4 it works perfectly with the use of plugins but I would like to use ue5 for the world partition tool, however in ue5 the plugins give me error and crash (currently I need only xsola login plugin and voxel free plugin). Any ideas?

You can migrate worlds to world partition with a commandlet from ue4 to ue5 anyways

[manic ibex]

I want someone’s opinion on something

I’m making a small little town and i’m gonna have a few sub areas that are in buildings. Would it be a good idea to have those rooms already loaded in and going through the door just teleports the player there or should I make a whole new level just for the room?

[crimson hornet]

Hello, so I'm wanting my windows to basically mirror the surrounding environment and I use a planar reflection to make all my windows work like this. The small windows are not working and it is because I am using an Opacity map. Does anyone know if there is a way to make my small windows mirror the environment also with an opacity map? The small windows work if I turn off opacity so I know this is the issue.

@plush yew i'm making a 3d platformer and i'm trying to make it fairly graphically impressive but also have good performance. so should i just use a separate level?

[oak patio]

What use does the gamemode actually have for a single player game, cause my knowledge of it extends purely to the default classes you can set, such as pawn, hud, etc.

I know the game mode is used extensively in multiplayer, but wondered if it had any good uses in single player games, like how the huf class can make managing widgets a lot easier

[rich bough]

can some one help me, I am experiencing lots of problems with EU4.27

[oak patio]

Ask the question, dont ask to ask

[rich bough]

So I yesterday every cube I had in my world turned invisible, they still appeared in my world out liner but they didn't show up as hiden. It wouldn't let me place cubes either. I found a way around it by just importing cubes from blender but is kinda anoying. Now every lighting source did the same thing.

They still work and can be placed, but completely inviable from my screen

[oak patio]

That soubds really odd, does everything work fine in a new projeft

If not maybe try verifying your engine installation

I want to start MP4 MOVIE IN UE5!
BUT ISNt!!

LogWmfMedia: Error: Tracks 0000052CEC917A90: Format is not supported in D3D12.

[plush yew]

and what do you mean by check collision

[oak patio]

If its all 1 plane and the collision is fine then i have no clue whatsoever unfortunately

[fleet abyss]

Please,please help me

[oak patio]

So there is a collision view, that shows every collision box that can responfld to a player

You can view the dropdown under where it says lit, and there will be one for collision

[rich bough]

So I made a new world, cubes are gone but the lighting works. I am about to uninstall UE I will keep my existing projects right?

How to duplicate my project as a backup

[plush yew]

ok, thx

[oak patio]

Dont uninstall, just verify install

How do you do that?

[oak patio]

Just copy paste the project folder, or you can use source control like git

[oak patio]

The little arrow next to your engine installs lets you uninstall or verify

[distant sorrel]

You means clone ??

[fleet abyss]

sorry all people,,,,
MP4 can not doing inthe preview UE5?

[oak patio]

No i kean copy paste the project folder

[rich bough]

ok

[oak patio]

Like i said, find wherever you created the project, and just cooy paste the folder whereever, or use git

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

SORRY PEOPLE!

ごめんなさい！

How to delete unused assets when everything mixed up 🥲

[plush yew]

it kinda worked after I changed material physical element, but still in some places it makes you fall into

[oak patio]

bumparooni

[grim ore]

well from the docs. ```Even the most open-ended game has an underpinning of rules, and these rules make up a Game Mode. On the most basic level, these rules include:

The number of players and spectators present, as well as the maximum number of players and spectators allowed.

How players enter the game, which can include rules for selecting spawn locations and other spawn/respawn behavior.

Whether or not the game can be paused, and how pausing the game is handled.

Transitions between levels, including whether or not the game should start in cinematic mode.```

I might use it for something simple like tracking all of the progress in the level, if there are collectibles and such. Or for handing the save game system

[kindred depot]

that was the biggest pain in the arse ever... Meta human to maya, to 3ds max back to ue...

[plush yew]

To make a procedural survival game I don't know whether to use ue4 because it accepts the use of the plugins I need (xola login and voxel free), but I would like to use world partition of ue5, the problem is that in ue5 the plugins give me errors and bugs then I don't know what to do, stay in ue4 with the plugins and find another way to optimize or move to ue5. Any suggestions¿?

BRUH

I HATE UNREAL ENGINE SO MUCH SOMETIMES

Does it ever just crash when using physics editor???

Is that just me

WHO gonna react

but not reply

i had a real question about physics editor if it is laggy for everyone else

[distant sorrel]

Any script to delete un used asstes in multi level

[fleet helm]

I often go to sleep with a similar feeling

[distant sorrel]

💣

[grim violet]

i am so frustrated

@distant sorrel I think there is one on github. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0uDbQZjKFU

i have not used it before tho

[unborn ingot]

Okay so I have this weird problem, I have a dialogue system when I press buttons to show a response and it worked fine but now it seems to ignore clicks until it then randomly will decide to press

Anything I should check?

the response list UI is on my default game HUD

and gets added when needed

[fleet helm]

I think there can be a million reasons Plummet. Is the button clicking but not doing anything
or does it not register the click at all?

[unborn ingot]

It shows I hover but the button itself doesn't actually click I think this video should explain it a bit better

like the button doesn't click at all

not even a print string

and the color of the pressed doesn't appear

it works there after i pressed the mouse a bunch of times

usually takes 2-6 clicks

[fleet helm]

Very weird. I sometimes had to change 'hit-testable' to 'visible' to fix some hit detection before, but it's probably not the case here. However maybe something to fiddle with

[unborn ingot]

Eh couldn't hurt, i'll try it out just in case

[fleet helm]

There is also a blueprint node called set cursor mode with a bunch of settings, you could try fiddle with that

[unborn ingot]

Thank you very much

I noticed this issue usually happened after I press a different input

game wise

while im in the dialogue

so that might be related

[fleet helm]

Sorry I meant this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rP0T-pjzyvs

Hope it helps, you never know 😄

[unborn ingot]

Thanks, I'll try some stuff out

Found it out!

So basically I accidentally had something set focus to game viewport

which is not a good way to do it

[fleet helm]

Happy to hear that!

[green light]

it can be really frustrating for sure

[grim violet]

Yeah right now I am using physics to make a mocap animation look like he is actually touching things but

he just falls to the floor lol

😭

you can see his peace sign at least 🤣

[grim ore]

well the physics does look like its doing what it should be doing

[grim violet]

I guess I am confused then

how do I use physics on top of an animation

to where I can still play the animation, but he doesn't go through walls

Does anyone know about this? ^

I have been on a quest for many days trying to figure this out

I’ve seen Vtubers where they are live mocap and don’t have clipping into static meshes. Is there a way I can do this?

[mental dome]

what are some ways to make a main menu besides the one that's on the ue4 website

*good ways

[grim ore]

are you sure they are using physics? its possible they are doing checks on each frame to make sure they dont intersect with other items

the mocap suit gives you data, you apply that data to your character. When you are applying you do checks to prevent collision issues.

[grim violet]

I have seen them do it live though, not post edit

There must be a simpler way to do it besides frame by frame editing

[grim ore]

yes live, how are you displaying the data from the suit?

[grim violet]

Live Link, via an AnimBP pn the character

[grim ore]

yes, which means you can adjust that pose in real time

you have all the pose data that you can change, do traces, do collision checks, adjust it after it comes in before the output

have you checked out the live link course from epic?

[grim violet]

No I didn't know they had one

So collision checks is something I can do in the AnimGraph? I didn't know that

Very helpful. The LearnUE course explains collisions checks or no

[grim ore]

I havent watched it, and I dont know if that the right way. I am just saying there are ways of changing your data in realtime and that is an option.

[grim violet]

No no that makes the most sense

Compared to everything else I have tried

[grim ore]

there are a few virtual production courses that might cover what you need, but it should be similar to VR as well in terms of how moving objects interact with other objects

[grim violet]

Yes!! I tried to make VR game with the character but was never able to use the mocap as input

Awesome thank you

Going to watch rn

[haughty steppe]

Maybe someone knows decent tutorials or articles about organizing the hierarchy of objects/classes? I want to add basic HUD (health ammo Inventory) but I struggle to decide where to store that class, and what classes should my HUD inherit from

Like which classes are generally better to use as pause/main menu/inventory switcher

[grim violet]

Do you have any tutorials on collision checks in animgraphs?

Cannot find anyhting

[grim ore]

@haughty steppegeneral UI is using UMG Widget as the parent class, you build it out from there. You can store it anywhere that seems correct, like player UI could be on the player or the game could handle it. Enemy UI could be on the enemy or the game could handle it. It could be in the game mode, or the controller, or the HUD Class. Most things work, no 100% answer

[haughty steppe]

Thank you for your answer

[grim ore]

@grim violetyou should be able to do anything normal, like line traces and collision checks, inside of functions in the anim graph

[oak patio]

not to mention mocap data should always be cleaned up manually

[mellow turret]

what was the hotkey to show the nav mesh in the editor?

[grim violet]

I am aware of that for cinematic shots however you cannot manually cleanup anything in a live stream

Therefore I needed to find a way to do it programmatically

[oak patio]

ah bugger didnt see that bit mb

[grim violet]

Np!

PN has a good post processor for the mocap, makes it pretty clean on export

just wish I could use it when live lol

[oak patio]

yeah being live data throws a bit of a wrench into the standard mocap workflow lol

anyway i wish you luck

[grim violet]

throws a huge LOG in the way for me 🤣, thx! hopefully i can find some way to include collisions in the animgraph

yeah idk how to do collision checks in the animgraph

the nodes in the tutorial to do it doesn't show up

[grim ore]

since there are other streaming out there doing this, have you tried asking them?

[grim violet]

Nobody replies lol

its like its some secret sauce or something

[grim ore]

it might be

[grim violet]

that is mean

i hope it is not lol

how can it be THIS HARD

[grim ore]

it's probably not hard, it needs knowledge you don't have

as in do you know the entire animation system for UE like water

[grim violet]

i started 3 weeks ago

[grim ore]

yep then it's a lack of knowledge

[grim violet]

so i know probably 1% of the system

😭

lack of experience is infuriating

Theres gotta be some way to enable it

im not giving up it HAS TO BE WITH COLLISIONS

[grim ore]

well ok so heres a question. lets say you have perfect collisions on your character model, and the suit is feeding in 100% accurate data

lets say you have a cube in the world and your suit tells the animation on the character to have its hand start going into the cube

what does the engine do?

[grim violet]

My hand just goes through the cube

For an example, I can show you

[grim ore]

that is what it does now, what are you expecting it to do

[grim violet]

To move the hand around the cube, to where it cannot clip

Specifically I want to grab a railing in my map

and have the hands not just

go through it

[grim ore]

so how does the game know you want to do that?

[grim violet]

through collisions on the hands and cube

Cube has blockAll

[grim ore]

your going to have to have something somewhere that is testing every frame and adjusting as needed

[grim violet]

Can I DM you? I have a full - backstory in a way to all of this lol just don't want to bore the chat with it

[grim ore]

i dont have messaging on, and yes I can tell what you want I am telling you what you have to figure out

your going to have to get your data, then adjust your data, then apply the data

[grim violet]

When I am in a livestream youre saying I need to adjust the BP every time?

[grim ore]

you have the first part, the second is getting your collision data and adjusting based on that, then apply that adjusted data to the final pose

[grim violet]

OH

I GET IT

I need to find a way to get collision data into the animgraph

[grim ore]

yes, or tell the blueprint for your character to adjust itself after the animation updates

what you want to do is complicated in the sense there are tons of "stuff to figure out"

[grim violet]

Yeah

It's true

Its a multi-layered adjustment

[grim ore]

its why i suggested looking at how VR handles collision, its a similar idea

[grim violet]

That is fair

I looked at a VRMocap template from github but the thing is

they use steamVR so it is kinda hard for me to compare with live link input

but it is very similar so

I just need to take steps back and look at it more

[grim ore]

its the concept of taking in data, manipulating the data to prevent your collision, and then applying that data

[grim violet]

just frustrating when I spent a lot of time (and money) already on this with no results but this is helping a lot. I appreciate the brainstorm session!

I will take the advice, scan the VRbps and see how I can apply it to mine. Thx again!

I am planning on creating a tutorial for these specifications of mocap, hopefully it can help someone else lol

Hey I was wondering how properties replicated in Unreal Engine? (not how to, but how it does)

[spare kernel]

Via bunches sent over udp. Gathered every on a net tick, checked if they are different, then sent.

On every

More detailed answer ? Reading the source code :)

[fathom basin]

What function specifically because it is complicated?

We're on it.

[peak veldt]

^^

[spiral zodiac]

ok nice

sorry for the pings, if its being dealt with then ill leave it alone

[warped kernel]

hah, i was just coming here to find a mod for this

ty mods

[spiral zodiac]

guys if u wanna mess with it, fill inn random emails and passwords

seemingly legit ones, but OBVIOUSLY not your real details

you will give them garbage data that they'll have to test

[snow crown]

Don't

[spiral zodiac]

the link itself is not harmful if you just dont put inn your real info but sure 😦

[snow crown]

No, because they know it comes from us

And if they try to get more bots in

They get engagement

Best to just ignore it

[spiral zodiac]

i suspect they use the same link on all the servers they invade, there is no affiliate code in the url

but alright ill follow mods orders

[snow crown]

Also, heads up, we just got raided by a bunch of these bots. Block them if they pm you

We're doing cleanup but there was like 50 of them

[warped kernel]

please do not click on any links from spammers, you dond't know where they'll go!

[heavy obsidian]

How do I package my game in html5? I don't have the option. 4.26.2

[stable remnant]

[maiden swift]

Sorry for the inconvenience, folks.

[plush yew]

why sorry

[mellow marlin]

lol I already reported that spammer :p You'll have to get up earlier in the morning to phish me

[rotund scroll]

I'm writing a sternly worded letter to my representative as we speak

[burnt tinsel]

ping

[drowsy snow]

Forget about packaging for HTML5

It's less reliable than you might think

[stable coral]

@maiden swift so you want all the partnership from discord

[plush yew]

So it's less reliable than a rickety bridge?

[stable coral]

saying that it is all fake links

[spare kernel]

Keep channel discussions relative to unreal engine. Use #lounge for general chat.

[tardy basin]

UE5 when

[drowsy snow]

Not even as reliable as a rickety bridge.

It won't work on mobile (back in 2016/2017). It won't work on wide range of browser.

[spare kernel]

@tardy basin when they release it.

[tardy basin]

Thanks

[snow crown]

Probably in a few weeks. They are cruising right along on the 5.0 github branch

[spare kernel]

Its close but no official dates

[snow crown]

Its usually around 4 weeks of previews but they sometimes go long for big releases

[drowsy snow]

FWIW for HTML5 only project without requiring expensive setup for Pixel Streaming, might as well use another engine like Unity or Godot

[snow crown]

Yeah, no official release date but i suspect its real close

All the major features are done they are just hardcore bugfixing

[grim ore]

its definitely tomorrow. They have never done a sunday release, but it's definitely tomorrow

[snow crown]

Lol

I think they wanted to do a gdc release but they weren't at gdc

Soooo 🤷‍♂️ 🤷‍♂️

[tardy basin]

Sounds good

[snow crown]

I mean, you can just use it now

The Preview is out

[tardy basin]

seems pretty risky to switch our current project to an unfinished version

At the very least, inconvenient

[snow crown]

5.0 is gonna be risky no matter what honestly

Lots of big changes and new tech

[tardy basin]

It's working great for us still anyway, so at the moment my main anticipation for ue5 are the UI changes

[tardy basin]

True

[drowsy snow]

FWIW you might as well wait for 5.2 or later versions.

[timber yacht]

bro how do programmers and game devs fall for the discord dm spams?

and the nitro links

that makes no sense lmao

[drowsy snow]

The new stuff in UE5, while cool and borderline Messiah for real-time graphics, is left to be desired when it comes to maturity and readiness for production and end-user

[drowsy snow]

PhD people can still fall for scams.

[timber yacht]

wdym by that?

[plush yew]

what's the point of cast shadows for lights if it lowers fps? where can you use them with shadows

[drowsy snow]

Depends on a lot of factors and other design decisions

[plush yew]

it could work inside, but on landscape not so much

[drowsy snow]

But my rule of thumb is that only lights that have major contribution to the scene should cast shadows.

[plush yew]

11 lights and fps drops mad

yeah, I guess 4 could work on a small scene and scattered around

[grim violet]

How do I generate an overlap event when an animation hits a static mesh?

It only works when the character is being moved in game

OH

[drowsy snow]

Hm...
I have a couple directional lights for outside and it's not that bad

[grim violet]

His capsule isn't following the animation

[plush yew]

i mean with shadow casting it drops

[grim violet]

How do I transform the capsule movement to the live link data?

[plush yew]

got my first stable fps scene atleast 😂

[drowsy snow]

Well, in a forest scene, it's not dropping that bad.

Though granted I set the scalability to Medium/High, which is my ground truth for base PS4 hardware

[plush yew]

mine was on epic, nice surprise by how well it runs

[mild charm]

I'm gonna copy and paste a big textwall question that I posted in the wrong channel...and I couldn't really figure out where to put it so I'm putting it here: I'm trying to reverse engineer the level design / player movement from a level in Sin & Punishment 2, its an old rail shooter. In this part of the level, the camera does a slow 180 turn around the player, which changes the focus of gameplay to in front of the player, to the side of the player, and then behind the player. If this were a Character in UE, would their Capsule Component's forward facing direction actually change? I'll attach the clip of the game, along with 2 layouts of what I think is happening

The clip

Two different variations on the Capsule's forward direction

The reason why I'm confused is that, if the capsule component did rotate 90* like in the second image, I'm assuming the root would mess up the animation. But it's a totally smooth transition here, which makes me think the "capsule component's" direction isnt changing here

[drowsy snow]

It's simpler than you might think.
So character - it doesn't rotate in that event. Just the camera rotating around.

Think of this instead with a mix of general third person shooter thrown in.

[grim ore]

just watch the legs relative to the path, that tells you everything

[drowsy snow]

In third person shooter scenario (particularly ones when you're able to hip fire anywhere), equivalent scenario would be your character moving and facing towards the camera, but he/she still shoots to the direction of the camera.

[grim violet]

is there a way to transform the capsule component to the character animation? I am trying to use Overlap event but it only works when the character is moving, not when the animation is playing. The capsule component just follows the movement of WASD keys, rather than the root motion of the animation

[grim ore]

look at root animation, it might help get around the issue

[grim violet]

The animation from the root bone is showing, not sure what else I could look at tbh

[mild charm]

Thank you both for clarifying that! @drowsy snow @grim ore I have a habit of overcomplicating things 😅

[drowsy snow]

well, you just have to get used to breakdowns and broaden your knowledge on gameplay trickeries.

[plush yew]

Trickery indeed 😅 I've been hobbying in game Dev for the last couple of years now
Don't plan on making a career out of it, but I've really learnt that a lot of what you see is just smoke and mirrors

[dense knoll]

#ue5-engine-source

[plush yew]

how to make invisible text, decal that is only visible by pointing flashlight to it?

[drowsy snow]

Might worth asking it over on #ue5-engine-source

[plush yew]

and how can you make a decal in general, for example from gimp image

[storm dove]

Hello guys, hope it is the right chanel to ask an Engine question and search for knowledge (if not excuse me).
Listen, i'm fighting with a decal problem coming from MSAA and Forward shading.
Whatever my fade screen size value is, the decals are fading away while i'm moving far from them especially on ground surfaces (mean horizontal planes) and a bit less fading on vertical surfaces. How can I fix that ? I search google and did not find solutions, maybe someone here already faced that situation and found a solution ? For info if I set the aliasing method to TAA it is working perfectly even with forward shading enable. Thx a lot for your kind help.

[pallid talon]

Question - Lets say I have a spline. And I have a box next to the spline at about the half way point. How do I get the location of the spline based on how close it is to the box? For example, using "Get Location at Distance Along Spline" will return a vector along the spline. Works great, but how can I tell the "distance that the box is close to the 50% area of the spline?

[tardy basin]

Couldnt you find the distance between that return value and the getWorldLocation of the box

[grim ore]

Find Location Closest to World Location? Fill in the World Location of the box?

there are a ton of helper functions on the spline component

[pallid talon]

@grim ore I tired that one. It didn't seem to work for me. Not sure what Im doing wrong.. Going to try again.

Yes, I went through the list of options.

[grim ore]

seems to work right here

[pallid talon]

Well the Get Distance To wants the actor of the spline, not a specific location along the spline.

[grim ore]

maybe im not getting what you want,

gives me the value I expect, the green is the location of the cube (to the right of the spline), and the blue is the closest point on the spline

its just a little left on the Y so the value is lower as expected

[tardy basin]

oh hey matthew

[pallid talon]

@grim ore Yes, I just got the same thing. Quick question. How could I convert this to the location along the spline as a float? For example. When using "Get Location at Distance Along Spline", it returns a single float value. Is it possible to convert the "Find Location Closest to World Location" to a float value? Basically a way to transfer the Find Location... result into the distance of the "Get Location..." node.

[grim ore]

so you want to know how far along it is?

[pallid talon]

Exactly.

Basically I want the object to move along the spline, and start moving along at the nearest location of the spline. So it will likely need something like, "Get Location at Distance Along Spline".

[grim ore]

how are you going to be moving it?

I ask as the time variable on the spline is usually used to know how far along it is, if you keep it in the 1 second range for the spline then its easy to feed that into a lerp to get a move along spline over time and you can fill in how far you want it based on that 0..1 or 0 to 100 percent basically

[pallid talon]

This moves it along the spline....

[grim ore]

heres my move along spline code

the time from the timeline is just a 0 to 1 over however many seconds I want, it could be 1 if I wanted to just change it playback speed and have it completely adjustable

[pallid talon]

Yeah, this wouldn't work for what Im trying to achieve. The "box" I was referencing is really a car. I used a box as an example to simplify what Im trying to do.

an AI car to be exact.

[grim ore]

i gotcha, but it needs to follow the spline over time or?

[rotund scroll]

why not use AIMoveTo and use the navmesh?

[pallid talon]

Not exactly. Because it will stop for various reason, change speed, etc.

[pallid talon]

Not using a navmesh system.

[rotund scroll]

https://tenor.com/view/why-huh-but-why-gif-13199396

[pallid talon]

Because then I'd have to setup a navmash system. Avoiding that for many reasons.

[rotund scroll]

but you're using AI

[grim ore]

does it matter for the distance then? arent you just trying to find the closest point on the spline and adjust to it?

[rotund scroll]

I mean not saying you have to, but you have a solution right there

built in, even

[pallid talon]

You don't always need a navmesh system for behavior trees to work.

[rotund scroll]

no but if you want AIs to move around it certainly helps

[drowsy snow]

Well, navmesh is going to solve you many hassles of AI moving around on the ground

[rotund scroll]

it's almost as if navmesh is a solution to a problem concerning AI moving around in the first place

the culmination of years of thought put into a system

[pallid talon]

It does matter for the distance.... And yes Im trying to find the closest point on the spline. Would like to convert that closes point to become an input to the "Distance" input of the "Get Location at Distance Along Spline"

[trim cipher]

Hello! Hope this isn't off-topic but the folks in #lounge told me to ask here, so... 😄

I'm a technical user (programmer by trade) and I'm having trouble with running a game written in UE. I've been reading the docs and playing with the settings but I feel stuck and would like a nudge in the right direction by an expert.

The symptoms: parts of the level are not loading. Mostly NPCs on the sides, but also some platforms. I discovered a workaround - if I open the menu and wait for a few seconds, then go back to the level, then the nearest missing content is loaded - although not always all of it either.

Another symptom is that after exiting the menu all the textures look nice for a split second, then drop to the lowest resolution possible.

It feels like there's some sort of loader that runs out of resources (memory?) and decides to skip stuff. However I have plenty of free RAM available and 2GB of VRAM should also be enough to run the game. The framerate is fair.

Where should I investigate further? What are some likely culprits?

[drowsy snow]

Are you using async loading/level streaming, or even world composition?

[trim cipher]

No idea. This is not my game. I can check variables via console though, if I know what I'm looking for.

Level streaming looks likely, but I didn't find any variables in the docs related to that.

[drowsy snow]

So you're playing an Unreal game and notice those issues? Or are you working on a project owned by someone?

[trim cipher]

(To be clear: this is a finished commercial game that I've bought and have trouble running. I know this is for game developers, which is why I'm worried this might be considered off-topic, but I'm approaching this from a gamedev-perspective and just asking for some pointers to continue my own investigation, rather than full solution.)

[rotund scroll]

I don't know if it could help but maybe the profiler to see what is taking up resources? maybe there is something blocking parts from being loaded? is it one level or several levels being loaded? (edit: didn't see the comment above about it being a commercial game)

[pallid talon]

I guess it's not an easy approach to convert a vector world location into a float for the distance of a "Get Location at Distance Along Spline", huh? @grim ore

[trim cipher]

I haven't even gotten past the very first tutorial. 😅 But it seems very common, lots of stuff missing all around. With the profiler do you mean a tool in the UE? Can it run on a finished release version?

[neon bough]

the textures fall back to lowest because it may run out of video memory, what you can try is setting r.streaming.poolsize to some larger value

[rotund scroll]

well you can check the console commands. I think there's stats UObject to see what kind of game objects take up the most performance

but it won't tell you the whole story

[neon bough]

e.g. 4096 to give 4gb vram to texture

[trim cipher]

I have only 2GB of VRAM on my machine. I've been considering that this might be the issue, but it is within the official specs and there are plenty of videos online with people having no issues with 2GB VRAM, so I don't think it's the whole story. I tried playing with r.streaming.poolsize and other texture streamer settings, and did get better textures (and crashes 😅 ), but the missing objects remained. I also tried going the other way and reducing the pool size (to give something else more room), but also no dice.

[rancid lynx]

I want to SAVE GAME and LOAD GAME with ISMCs (InstancedStaticMeshComponents). if I add 20 instances to the ISMC with unique transforms, is there an easy way to save the instance's transform data ? Doing a for loop and manually adding each transform to an array seems like overkill for something that should be much easier.

[rotund scroll]

if it's inside the actor I believe you can just save the actor and the ISMCs will be saved as well?

worth testing either how

[rancid lynx]

thank you. i will try actor versions .

[neon bough]

well depending on the game 2GB vram isn't cutting it

specially if its some unoptimized mess from a indie dev

[rancid lynx]

no way its that easy. please dear baby jesus.

[trim cipher]

Unfortunately they've disabled the stats command... or at least it's not available in the console that I have. I'm not sure if it's the original console or some homebrew tool - it's the "universal unreal engine 4 unlocker". I seems to inject a DLL in a running process, so I suspect it might be an alternative console. If I download the UE devkit, will I be able to attach to the game with it and get more info? Or does it only work on source projects but not on finished builds?

[drowsy snow]

Well, if it's commercial/already released game, I'm afraid we can help.

[rancid lynx]

ive never recieved such a quick and simple answer to such a complex answer. if so X_x

[rotund scroll]

I have no idea what you're dealing with, it does not seem legal at this point

[drowsy snow]

We have solutions, but that's using the editor/development tools.

[drowsy snow]

I'm sure it's using underground tools. I know one that tries to reimplement the console command interface in Shipping.

[trim cipher]

It's not illegal as far as I know. I haven't pirated the game.

[rotund scroll]

sometimes you get lucky? it's not a given it works 😅

[drowsy snow]

Any underground modding activity doesn't align well with this server.

[rotund scroll]

no but unlocker sounds like you're trying to reverse engineer it

which is still a form of piracy technically

[rancid lynx]

We got lucky just to get UE4 : ) Sometimes we get super lucky : )

[drowsy snow]

And I'm saying that as an underground modder

[trim cipher]

Hmm... well, not reverse engineer it - just get access to Unreal Engine's parameters. And not modding either - just trying to get it to work.

[drowsy snow]

#ue4-general message

[rotund scroll]

I would go to the support forum for the game, not attempt to make anything happen from the side of development, however good your intentions may be

[drowsy snow]

Also see #rules no. 5

Discussing tools for PC mods is OK if they're permitted by the game's creators.

[trim cipher]

I did. Forums, support emails, everything else... useless, unfortunately. 😦 It's gotten to the point where they're suggesting I reinstall .NET framework and check for network connectivity issues. :p

[drowsy snow]

I'm afraid that's down to your hardware not up to the task

[rotund scroll]

unfortunately that's as good as it gets probably

[trim cipher]

Hmm... I can see how this can be interpreted that way. Alright. Thank you for your time! 🙂

[neon bough]

doesn't the log provide any useful informations on whats going on?

[trim cipher]

If it had one, I'm sure it would! 😄

[plush yew]

Care to explain what your actual motivation or goal is here? No one wants to be accused or seen as aiding a crime.

[drowsy snow]

Usually shipping builds don't log much.
And he's talking about already released game by someone else

[trim cipher]

I'm literally trying to get a game to run that I've purchased.

As it is, it's unplayable.

[plush yew]

What game?

[trim cipher]

Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order

[drowsy snow]

Ah yes

I know that game has some level streaming issues.

I don't think the effect is that pronounced on SSDs or faster HDDs, but I've seen reports of similar issues coming from slow mechanical HDDs

[trim cipher]

I can live with knowing my PC is too weak, but I'd like to at least have some confidence that that is truly the issue. And the fact is - I've seen youtube videos from other people with similar levels of hardware running it just fine.

[rotund scroll]

try on a better PC first and see if there are similar issues

but it may be that you're falling under the minimum requirements or some such for the game

[drowsy snow]

And not to mention SW:JFO had similar (but less pronounced) issues on base last gen consoles as well

[trim cipher]

Interesting, because I scoured the interwebs and could find nobody having similar symptoms. There were all kinds of complaints - but nothing about missing content.

Well, anyway, thank you for your time and advice, everyone! 🙂 Maybe it really is time I admitted defeat and put this aside until after I've upgraded my rig.

[drowsy snow]

Or maybe try another Unreal Engine games.
At least Digital Foundry do report some level streaming issues with that game.

[proper crypt]

Quick question. Does anyone know what happened to the Unreal Engine for educators discord? If you go to https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/educators there's supposed to be a link to the educator discord under the Connect section. Buuuut, it goes to an invalid discord invite.

[real gust]

Hey guys I have a door that swings open and I’d like it to slow down as it finishes the animation. The curves editor when I add a curve it makes the door go passed the final position or makes the door swing the wrong way? What am I doing wrong?

[rotund scroll]

if you want it to slow down keep the endpoint where it was and adjust the curve near the end to be flatter

[real gust]

It seems the curve being flat is the regular animation. Normal speed

Then I make the curve larger one way and it will way over swing, the curve the other way will over swing the door in the wrong way

I can just add more key frames and slow it down like that, but I’m trying to figure out how curve work and it’s behaving really weird compared to some tutorial I watched

[pallid talon]

@grim ore I figured it out. This is doing what I expected. By the way, thanks for reaching back to me on this issue. Have a great night!

[short star]

If you're using a timeline, then lerp the alpha. Then set your end time point to have less of a curve, allowing it to slow the door swing. But I am unsure the method you're using

[real gust]

I’m keyframing the door in a sequence.

I keyframe it to bang open each time it bangs a peice of wood nailing it shut starts falling off. It took me a while to get the animation good. Minus the ending

Should I use a level blueprint with a Lerp? It’s for a cinematic. I am filming short films that’s what I’m doing

[plush yew]

Adjusting the collision in primitive objects wont mess anything up right?

Or should I make a new mesh for the object instead of using primitives?

[short star]

I haven’t played with sequencer a lot, but have you tried just adding key frames along the timeline, but keeping their transform the same. So it looks as if it’s slowing.

[neon bough]

you should use a sphere primitive collision

[grim violet]

anyone know if it is possible to convert live link animation data to controller input data?

[drowsy snow]

You seem to keep asking similar questions for a while. So your goal is to make a gameplay using mocap suit only?

[grim violet]

Yes I want it to where the mocap suit data interacts with gameplay

And I am unsure how to use the breakdown of live link anim data to output to the character's movement data

[drowsy snow]

But why? Mocap suits are way less accessible than a VR kit.

[grim violet]

It is for me only

Not for game production, as a tool for myself in animation

May not make much sense

I just need one specific thing of collisions lol

I have a scene where a character walks through a door and I need the door to open, and also where he can touch the wall and it doesn't just like

go through LOL

I keep being told I need VIVE/VR trackers to make it happen but I believe it is possible to use livelink mocap data to do it

[drowsy snow]

Well, that's on you, because it doesn't make sense, and typically you wouldn't bother with it when doing mocap because it's going to be either keyframed, or have other object driven by mocap as well.

[drowsy snow]

That's because throwing VR into the mix can give you the ability to move around.

[grim violet]

VR actual tracker capture is very static in a sense of realistic animation though which is why I am adamant on mocap suit data

if I must combine with VR tech then so be it IG

Just dont have a budget for it atm but I can probably find ways to use emulators or something similar

[austere parcel]

Is there a way to let UE always run as high priority on CPU?

Compiling shaders is taking wayyyyy too long

64gb mem and a 5950 CPU. All threads consumes, and it still takes over 20 minutes to open a project

[grim violet]

this helped me

https://www.techarthub.com/seven-tricks-to-speed-up-shader-compilation-in-unreal-engine-4/

this is the article i used

[austere parcel]

oo thx

[grim violet]

Np!

I have 5950 too

Anyway to read midi files inside of Ue4

[drowsy snow]

Yes, with some C++ work

Perhaps FMod can do it, not sure

Anyone know how to fix this water issue with the plug-in?

What's the issue?

[opal ocean]

Making a tile-based game. Grid could be 256x256 or as big as 1024x1024 (bigger? I dunno.) Each tile can be mined/altered ingame. Better to use instanced static meshes, or use a BP per tile?

Hi! As you can see in the attached video, my game running at full settings hits an average of 50-60FPS. However, every few seconds, you can see the FPS counter have a tiny spike, leaving the game to freeze up for a moment. I'm not entirely sure how to get rid of these lag spikes. I've even tried turning the Screen Space Resolution down to 10%, doesn't get rid of them. It's not just when I'm walking, btw, even when I'm standing still the lag spikes still happen. If you know of a possible fix for this, please let me know, thanks! 🙂

[drowsy snow]

If you do stat unitgraph, what thread causing the hitches?

[scarlet turret]

Just tried it out, I'm now familiar with the unitgraph but here's what popped up...

[plush yew]

What do you suggest to make my game, ue4 or ue5? I wanna make survival procedural game but idk what to choose

[drowsy snow]

UE4 in the meantime

[plush yew]

ok

[drowsy snow]

Game thread doesn't seem to spike 🤔

This happens even while standing still or paused?

[scarlet turret]

Both it seems, it's very odd

[drowsy snow]

For another sanity check, does this happen in Standalone process, with editor minimised?

[scarlet turret]

I'll check rq...

[scarlet turret]

Sorry that took me so long lol, it took a moment to start, but yup it's still spiking in Standalone

[drowsy snow]

Okay, then that goes down to your hardware. Probably the GPU, because the Game thread seem tame

[scarlet turret]

How interesting... is it alright if I try turning some things on and off and report back to you in a bit?

[distant sorrel]

First choose unity 😑
Unreal exporting problems

[drowsy snow]

Yeah, sure.

[drowsy snow]

Lmao no

[scarlet turret]

Awesome, thanks so much! 🙂

[distant sorrel]

Yes i create a game by 3 month of hard work and at the end , i cant able to export to android

[scarlet turret]

I've found the solution! I tried turning off lighting, clouds, etc., but the thing that fixed the lag spikes was disabling all of the decals

I'm actually pretty happy it's the decals because I was planning on deleting those anyways...

[drowsy snow]

Then that's your problem, not others.
Ask it on #mobile, and don't just say "dude it's not working" and leave.

[mental dome]

Hey how do i possess a different character in editor

[drowsy snow]

Change the characters auto possess, and you'll possess different characters on start PIE

[mental dome]

can i switch during PIE?

[drowsy snow]

No, you have to create your own switching character logic.

[mental dome]

Alright

ive found "eject" to work for what i needed it for

[wild portal]

hi, anyone else having this problem on 5.0.0 preview 2? i ran the reg disable script and restarted pc too but nothing changed, also happens on 4.27.2, i can't try any other versions because the + button is disabled for some reason on epic launcher....
it worked some weeks ago...
basically stuttering, menus and whole editor window disappearing, i ran Verify for the installation but no change either, can't do anything in editor because of this
windows 10 (19044.1620), nvidia geforce 512.15, rtx 2080 ti
UPDATE 1: I got UE5 Early Access 2 to work!
UPDATE 2: I created shortcut of the UE5 Preview 2 editor on my desktop and added -D3D11 at the very end of the Target: field, it seems that DX12 mode isn't working right...
UPDATE 3: It seems turning off MFAA for unrealeditor.exe in NVIDIA Control Panel -> Manage 3D Settings works in DX12 mode.

Ultimately you got two options:

1. Exit UE editor, open NVIDIA Control Panel, go to Manage 3D Settings, turn off MFAA for unrealeditor.exe, then start the editor again and voilà
2. Disable DX12 for the editor (by, for example: creating a shortcut of the UE editor on desktop, right click on it and open Properties, add -D3D11 at the very end of the Target: field and launch the editor through the shortcut)

[drowsy snow]

Well, that's basically unpossessing to editor, not switching character

[drowsy snow]

No, you have to create your own switching character logic.

[drowsy snow]

NVIDIA

That's the problem

How do I unlock the gizmo inside of my CharacterBP?

the default thirdpersonBP gizmo works just fine

idk what I did to make it lock

I just want to move him 😭

[wild portal]

update 1: the + button appeared, i installed 5.0 early access 2 and it works! i hope they fix this in preview build too

[regal ferry]

Whats a proper way of putting models in unreal? I only have a small room but it feels a bit laggy sometimes, but a bit smooth when its played. Is it okay if I copy paste models like this?

[drowsy snow]

At this point Early Access builds should be abolished

[drowsy snow]

The proper way would be to make it modular piece, as in every furniture pieces are their own static meshes. That way view frustum culling can do its job giving higher framerate by only rendering what's really visible

The bad way would be to have anything as a single über static mesh

[sterile oyster]

heya! is vs code really a good choice for an unreal engine 4 ide? I sorta miss VS Code approach, but when I tried it, it cannot find these header files

text editor yeah sorry

is vax Visual Assist? I've heard that it gives good results

I'll try the trial version

okii, thank you

[drowsy snow]

VS2022 + Intellisense is not bad.

Though granted it's what I use on regular basis

[sterile oyster]

im using VS 2019 currently though

oh btw, is the intellisense faster?

[drowsy snow]

VS2022 is noticeably faster, even in potato computers.

Not to mention VS2022 is x64 application

I had all build tools from 2015 to 2022 lol

Just to say how good VS2022 has become

[sterile oyster]

I'd be lying if I say yes (my C: partition is only 180 GB, with Windows 11 installed)

[lament path]

hey so i know thisi s kind of a beginners question but im new to working with animations and models

i retargeted the anim starter pack to a mixamo model and it mostly worked well, but he holds the gun way too close to the body in such a way that it clips through the chest

is there any way to solve this that isnt manually reanimating every animation?

[drowsy snow]

You can make runtime adjustments with IKs, but I won't recommend Mixamo rigs at all

[lament path]

ill try that

[neon bough]

yea, why do you go with mixamo rig in the first place?

[lament path]

also out of curiosity what rigs do most people use to replace the mannequin

well i tried metahumans

[neon bough]

they use the mannequin rig

[lament path]

but they broke totally

[neon bough]

and there are ways to get mixamo animations directly from mixamo which work with the mannequin rig

[lament path]

i mean like how do people get other models rigged to the mannequin?

[neon bough]

http://terribilisstudio.fr/?section=MC

[drowsy snow]

That's a trade secret 😉

Nah jk

[lament path]

😭

i think i'll try to fix this issue manually mainly just because i like the model

will report back

[neon bough]

as beginner you are not doing yourself a favor

i would really recommend to stick to the mannequin rig

[drowsy snow]

Honestly you might as well learn yourself rigging. It ain't easy, sure.

[neon bough]

but imagine all the anime waifus that you could model/rig

[lament path]

yknow what

youve convinced me

anyway shit do i have to do this in blender

[drowsy snow]

If you're using Blender, you can use something like Auto Rig Pro to have a model auto rigged to a rig that's compliant with UE4 mannequin rig

It's paid, but I think it's worth the price for the cut hassles.

Hello! a few weeks ago I've shared an issue that has been happening to me last month. I am making a game project using ue4, and I've finished 99% of the project but there's a problem with building the lightning in the main map. It started to happen since 1 month, and still. It always builds up to 100% and then it immediately gives me a crash. This is what I get: Assertion failed: Texture->AddElement(PendingGroup) [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/Engine/Private/LightMap.cpp] [Line: 2458]

update 2: i created a shortcut of the 5.0.0 preview 2 editor on my desktop and added -D3D11 in the end of the target, it fixed the issue

[lament path]

update: found a temporary fix by just adjusting the angle of the arm in all relevant animations, will rerig next model to unreal mannequin

thanks guys

[trail cargo]

Any help will be appreciated! this project is so important to me! It is a final project in the university.

[plush yew]

Any idea how to fix this? The animations imported with mixamo do not see the character (it is very small) and the ones that are seen are retargets of the ue4 skeleton, so having the animation blueprint done bugs and changes size due to this, any ideas for reduce the size of the retarget or increase the mixamo?

[drowsy snow]

Oh yeah, I just said that I'm not recommending Mixamo rig few posts above.

[plush yew]

Then what do I do?

[drowsy snow]

I'd consider rigging your character to the mannequin rig.

[plush yew]

ok thx

[scarlet turret]

Isn't it the best thing when you type out a whole question, then right before you're about to ask it, you figure out the answer on your own t-t

[drowsy snow]

The better thing would be to have your code somehow works first try.

[scarlet turret]

The pain, I've done that before as well t-t

?

[drowsy snow]

t - t = 0

[scarlet turret]

Oh sorry I was using it as a text emoji lmao

[drowsy snow]

UwU

[warped osprey]

In UE5, does any one know how to reset the default startup path for projects. Mine is wrong and I need to reset it

[drowsy snow]

There's no way (at least the obvious ways) to reset the startup path in one go.
But if you set it once elsewhere, it should remember the new path next time

[warped osprey]

well it's just my UE5 projects don't show up in the Project Browser and I open it and load it the project in. It's doesn't save the path like it should

[shut nova]

When I look down the specular makes the entire lake white, and when I’m looking straight the water looks fine

[plush yew]

Regarding content licenses --> When there are demos on the Epic Launcher, such as the chaos destruction demo, is any of that content usable in a product? Or must it be licensed separately?

me waiting here for the past 2 hours waiting for my Unreal Project to boot when it's done compiling 12000 shaders after cloning the project from my team's repository -

😀

furthermore, the engine using the rest of my CPU so I cannot do much else on my computer without slowing down the project load even more -

😁

[jovial moss]

have a backup laptop ez /s

[plush yew]

true

[boreal otter]

from what I know it's under the marketplace terms as you can get it from the marketplace

[plush yew]

I think you need a lawyers opinion on reading contracts, generally, but there are some assets I like from a particular demo Epic put out, am unsure if it can be used commercially in UE4.

[drowsy snow]

From what I see, that's just SSR being SSR.

[jovial moss]

oh my bad, read the issue wrong

[drowsy snow]

It's by the name, Screen Space Reflection. It uses what's on the screen to make reflection. If part of the object is not visible on screen, then it won't get reflected

[jovial moss]

yeah sorry >.<

i thought they were asking abt the parts they were standing near being non reflective

[drowsy snow]

Consider applying Planar Reflection across the water body. Make sure it just cover the surface of the water, so it doesn't get applied to undesired objects on the ground.

Or, you know, just use realtime raytracing if you have the juice 😛

[tranquil sphinx]

Sorry for the random question, been looking into Fastbuild over the past week or so and was wondering if there is a particular channel i should ask in about it?

I've seen a lot of discussions about it in the search history here but i'm unsure if it really took off or is used at all?

[drowsy snow]

I think individuals gain nothing from such tools

[tranquil sphinx]

Incredibuild would become very expensive given the server set up i have from what i hear 😄

[drowsy snow]

Those were catered more towards studios that has build farms

[tranquil sphinx]

I have a 64 core threadripper i use for compiling builds but i'm looking to also use it for things like shader compiling and other things

ended up getting the system because someone bought it thinking it would be good for a gaming system and sold the bundle at a loss lol

I looked into incredibuild and removed it as soon as i saw it kneecaps your perf once the trial is over

thing is i don't work from the server, i work from another machine

which is why i'm looking into distributed compute

it's not so much lightmass which is an issue for me, i have swarm set up on my machines, like i said, this is more shader compiling and if possible blueprint/state machine compiling

there are some things i have where it can take a solid 20 seconds just inputting a string value and with unreals penchant for ignoring corrections it can add up quickly 😛

[fiery flax]

Help!

I'm trying to package for android but it keeps sending me to a website instead of packaging it

[tranquil sphinx]

it's telling you that you need to either install something or accept terms in project settings

[fiery flax]

I followed all the steps in this website it sent me to https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/SharingAndReleasing/Mobile/Android/

[fiery flax]

Also I pressed accept terms 10 times but I'm not sure if it did anything because the button isnt going gray or anything

[tranquil sphinx]

it should go green once you've accepted it, there are a few places you need to accept the TOS

scroll down and make sure there aren't other spots

[fiery flax]

It only shows the one spot in the tutorial, and when scrolling I can't find any others

[tranquil sphinx]

could try closing the editor and reopening

see if that resolves it

[fiery flax]

Already tried that multiple times

[tranquil sphinx]

do you have NDK installed and all set up?

[fiery flax]

I've installed android studio, do I have to get an ndk separately?

[tranquil sphinx]

did you install the correct NDK when installing android studio? i personally found it easier to just download NDK directly and reference it in the settings

[tranquil sphinx]

if not then this is the case

[fathom basin]

When are OnRep functions called?

[tranquil sphinx]

when ever the variable you set to onrep is changed

you have an int called MyInt and it changes from 0 - 1 it calls the OnRep for MyInt

[fathom basin]

just automatically?

[tranquil sphinx]

yeah

you update the value, it calls the function

think of it sort of like an event dispatcher

[fathom basin]

is that only in blueprints?

[tranquil sphinx]

i'm not well versed enough to speak for C++ but that's the case with blueprints

i would assume so though

[fiery flax]

How do I even install the NDK? The only thing i can find is this long and confusing tutorial https://developer.android.com/studio/projects/install-ndk I can't even follow step 1

[drowsy snow]

Might as well try asking on #mobile instead.

[mild phoenix]

Hey everyone I want to ask I have a drone bp with character movement component setted to flying mode.And it has AI function which patroling point targets.But it flying only in that height which it setted in scene.Not flying higher.How can I set it to fly to z axis too?

Its flying well with floating movement component but I need with character movement comp.

[drowsy snow]

Why not use floating movement components?

[mild phoenix]

Becase I am using movement mode from there

From flying to falling

But floating doesnt have this

[mild phoenix]

And I actually using both

I add floating movement component to character class

[mild phoenix]

All inputs are with floating movement but I just change class to character but its not working

I setted movement mode to flying

[fathom basin]

Hey what does ACharacter::OnRep_ReplicatedBasedMovement do

[drowsy snow]

#cpp

[chilly crow]

guys I just want ask I am starting new project (which will looks like warthunder or world of warplanes.... game with planes) i want to ask on the start when I am creating project its good to choose raytracing enabled ? or better disabled can I enable it then or ?

[grim ore]

those are just the starting defaults, you can change them later.

[chilly crow]

so if i disable it I can enable then

[grim ore]

yes, and if you enable it you can disable it

[chilly crow]

ah nice okey

whatever I want it in options 😄

[proven nacelle]

could someone possibly help me with a groom issue please. i have 2 characters with xgen exported from maya. whenever i have the 2 characters close to one another, 1 groom get random squares with random colours on them until i move the characters apart. has anyone encountered this issue before? it happens on ue4 and ue5. im hoping to render them on 1 layer but cant due to to groom having issues

[unborn dew]

could someone help me with my crouch i hyave seti ti uo but when i press the crouch button it doesnt do it

[clear estuary]

Try using a flipflop

[chilly crow]

have u selected input also ? U need to go to project preferences input add InputAction crouch and select some Keyboard key

[grim ore]

@unborn dewby default crouch is not enabled on a character, have you turned it on?

[unborn dew]

how do u do that

[grim ore]

on the character movement component, search for crouch

[clear estuary]

Oh I miss read that

[unborn dew]

wheres that sorry im new to unreal engine

[grim ore]

in the same blueprint you added your code. on the left are your components

[unborn dew]

thank you it works now

[unborn dew]

also i love your videos

[cerulean sandal]

do BSP brushes hurt performance more than static meshes or is it fine if i use them in the game anyways?

[grim ore]

they are not as optimized, but a small amount will not hurt. You can change them to static meshes if you want an in 5.0 and beyond they will slowly be removed for the new static mesh tools.

[rotund scroll]

if you're on 5 I recommend the cubegrid plugin that comes with UE5

my sources tell me it's excellent

[mild phoenix]

?

[acoustic wraith]

Is there any way to make Unreal compile all uncompiled shaders in my project?

Instead of doing it on-the-fly when the asset is first used?

[green light]

I agree, seen a lot of his, Tomatoes?

[unborn dew]

tomatoes

[golden niche]

is there a way to use gpu lightmass without having raytracing constantly enabled?

[mental dome]

hey how would i make an explosion?

not like particles i will worry about that later

i need something like it explodes and applies force and damage depending on how far away the character was from the center of the explosion

is there something in ue4 that would make this easy or do i make my own implementation

(using c++)

[green light]

niagra or something has it doesn't it

[mental dome]

what

[green light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfr4hfF8NKw

[mental dome]

that's

particles

i said "not like particles ill worry about that later"

[green light]

sorry missed that

[mental dome]

is there some sort of radial force thing that applies force in a certain... bubble?

[shut nova]

That didn’t fix it

[green light]

no clue that was all I had

[shut nova]

I think it’s some parameter from the plug-in that I’m using incorrectly

Other than specular what would cause that? I’ve seen people with the plug-in water looking great without a planar reflection. @drowsy snow

[tender pecan]

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/BlueprintAPI/Game/Damage/ApplyRadialDamage/
Also
https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/Resources/ContentExamples/Physics/1_3/

[mental dome]

Alright thanks

[tender pecan]

This one also looks ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTyT2XUouf4&ab_channel=TotallyUnreal

You can easily move that to cpp by simply calling the functions from actors in stead of implementing in blueprints etc.

[grim violet]

Can anyone help with this issue? I am unable to translate my character mesh inside of the CharacterBP editor. The gizmo is locked but I have absolutely no idea how to unlock it. https://gyazo.com/12ed28035d3f1d1296c3e11b2e9eca77

[green light]

on the right side of screen in BP is it locked?

[grim violet]

In details panel?

No

It is unlocked everywhere. The capsule component I have parented to it on the pelvis is able to be moved. Just his gizmo is locked

[green light]

no idea sorry best i could think of

[grim violet]

It's ok

UE forums has no solutions either 😭

Weird part is yesterday I was able to move it after removing the AnimBP from the character, but now that does not work

Even with no AnimBP it is locked

[viral crest]

was checking around the unreal online learning portal, anyone knows why some of them are blocked? (on the bottom)

[rotund scroll]

maybe you need to complete the quiz first?

[green light]

no clue sorry

[grim violet]

I figured it out

[viral crest]

what a strange way of gatekeeping information

[grim violet]

Setting location in BP overrides the gizmo

Essentially if your gizmo is locked in your BP this is why

[waxen coral]

Hello, there are multiple things that can be wrong here:

• Did you just cleared the Anim Class field, or also changed Animation Mode to i.e. Use Anim Asset?
• Do you have something that might affect the location of the mesh in the Construction script?
• Did you try clearing the mesh and Animation Mode and then restoring the mesh?
• Did you try removing the attached capsule?
• Did you try restarting the editor? 🙂 I had this issue a few times, sometimes that was enough.

[grim violet]

You are very helpful

[waxen coral]

Ah, I see that you already figured it out.

[grim violet]

Thank you

No that helps for future too

nope, not a student, but I guess if it's made for students I'm not the target audience 😅

[scarlet turret]

So I've been having a weird issue with reflections ever since I started my game, and I'm not sure how to fix it...

I have a "Mirror" material which is just 1 roughness and 1 metallic, and when you view it from the side you can see the reflections of the room that it's in

However, when you view it from the front, it reflects the sky

I'll send two images, the first being the one where the reflection is working and the second being the one where the reflection is showing clouds

Working

Not working

I know reflections aren't great without ray tracing, but I've never seen a non-ray traced UE4 project with broken reflections like this before

[shut nova]

Does anyone know how to fix this specular issue with the UE4 water plugin?

[scarlet turret]

Do you mean mine or the water lol

Oh lol

Well I have a sphere reflection capture... does it need to be directly inside the room to be accurate?

[thick herald]

reflection planes are a thing. Makes for super shiny reflective things. Expensive though.

[scarlet turret]

Yeah I've messed around with those before... you're certainly right about expensive lol

Yup I just tried moving the reflection capture into the room, and it's working now, except the reflections are incredibly dark...

And for whatever reason it made the rest of the room darker too, even the bits that aren't reflective

Just checked, and the reflections are still normally lit but only when you look at it from an angle...

Oh sure I'll try that rq

Nope, unfortunately that seems to give black reflections as well :\

Yup, I'm really not sure what's causing it...

I've never seen a YouTube tutorial or anything with the same issue so it's very odd

I'll try it, thanks! 🙂

[shut nova]

I’ve messed with every parameter on the water material and nothing fixes it

Would it be a project setting?

[storm dove]

Hello guys ! i would like to grab a little info about bullet decals ^^ I noticed that even with fade screen size 0.001 my bullet decals keep fading like when i'm at 10 or 15 meters from them. Thx for help and infos.

[scarlet turret]

Thanks so much for the video! I've never actually been to that website and there's so many helpful things. In the video you mentioned, the tutor had brought up Planar Reflections, which I've messed with before but didn't bother with because of the performance issues. However, he brought up the setting for "Capture Every Frame", which can be disabled to only take one picture for the reflection, which is exactly what I needed. 🙂

[placid folio]

I just started having this issue. Any advice why my thumbnails are white, only after I load/use them

[scarlet turret]

Real noob question, but what is this material node called?

Awesome, thank you!

[drifting rain]

Very basic question how can I change the camera view for a sceve
For some reason my level open with the view in a weird place But I want it to open to the view CameraActor is pointing at

[placid folio]

and this is my view port in an blue print, any advice what I did. Thats a croc in the screen cap. I think this is why my thumbnails are all white after I use/load them. But I can't figure out whats causing it in the editor.

[scarlet turret]

Oh my... do you have any light sources in your scene?

[humble flicker]

what is the middle node?

thank you

[placid folio]

It happened in all the maps, I checked. Really causes an issues cause I can't see the thumbnails. Maybe I corrupted/modified my default sence somehow. But I can't find it to look at it. I reset my editor settings but didn't help.

If I turn on the floor in the view port in blue prints can't see at all. In game is all fine.

[placid folio]

Here is what the camera looks like.

[scarlet turret]

Ugghhhhhh I was gonna do planar reflections but it's far too expensive

And I still can't get screen space captures to not be pitch black :\

I heard that the skylight might be the cause but I literally disabled that and every other light source besides a point light I'd placed and it still hasn't fixed it
