You can go for the UDN but thats costly

[graceful cargo]

Anyone else unable to find bridge plugin for quixel? Seems there a few issues on the reddit as well but I've tried everything they already mentioned with no luck yet

[oak patio]

Most of the meta stuff is because of the company meta, but i think metahumans is a coincidence

[soft tree]

unreal also just released their unreal dev community platform, so you can also go there

[raw harbor]

ah ok thanks

[left elk]

True, and to the credit of this place I've had some good help in the past! I just occasionally end up in situations where nobody can help/isn't the right person looking out to respond, no answers are evident on google, etc. In those cases I figure it's more responsible to cast a wide net as opposed to spamming here or pulling my hair out, lol

[left elk]

Define costly, if you can? I do have a company backing who might be willing to pay for some "unstuck", haha

[oak patio]

I mean it just costs money to use

Subscription based iirc if it still exists

[left elk]

I gotcha. Do they have public pricing? Or is it more of an "enterprise" situation

[left elk]

Oh wow, that's timely! I'll have to keep an eye on this one, thanks.

[oak patio]

Honestly no odea

[left elk]

Hmm, well, might give it a go and see what comes of that too. Thanks for the insight!

[oak patio]

No problem!

[unique kraken]

hmmm anyone got a idea how to switch uv´s without a lerp?

i have a setup where, when i use lerp´s, it absolutly tanks performence

[drowsy snow]

slowed down by an hour lmao

[drowsy snow]

This is probably the best approach without getting into HLSL

[unique kraken]

eeeeeh~~~~

EEEEEEEEH

no

https://tenor.com/view/aqua-konosuba-kazuma-anime-cry-gif-16686221

[drowsy snow]

At least in GLSL there's no such thing as switch statements so...

[violet quiver]

is there a way to find out which plugins are being used in a project?

[drowsy snow]

Check the .uproject file.

If it's a C++ project, checking the Build.cs file also shows what modules it use

[violet quiver]

@drowsy snow isnt that just the project file to open the project? or u mean on the /config/default.ini files?

[drowsy snow]

.uproject file is essentially JSON files. You can open it in text editors and get readable text

[dark depot]

right click open with/ select notepad or whatever you have

[drowsy snow]

Can we open it in Vim? 😳

[dark depot]

only you can no one else

[humble bough]

hello ! i've a question please idk where to ask it .. can anyone tell me the name of this game if it's even a game ? much appreciated

[violet quiver]

@drowsy snow @dark depot Ahhh that's basically the same thing as if u open your project and check the enabled plugins right? Sorry, I mostly meant which plugins are being used in the project, and not which plugins are enabled. I wanna uninstall some plugins so I wanna be sure which ones are being used (not just enabled) so they can be safe to be removed.

[dark depot]

yeah it is im not sure how to see what is being used most plugins you know if your using them though

like the water pluging adds water are you usingf water etc

like android plugins are exporting to android

[violet quiver]

oh, it's mostly plugins for vfx and terrain (like voxel) so i will manually check to see which ones are being used. I just thought there was a method to see which ones are being used

[graceful cargo]

Found a fix to the quixel plugin issue. I found a .zip of it online. All you need to is extract into the engine/plugins and it works. Here's the link if anyone would like to give it a try. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1416xXEpRqoyMO9gxkUry8AjGWKsjJtiP/view

[stoic gyro]

So need a hint 🙂 Im making my real life home in ue4 and the scale feels so off even when i put in the correct numbers in cm. for xyz on the box . (right house is the one with real numbers and left is based on "feel")

sry for spam

manny is 180 cm im 176 cm tall

but in this room irl i have church , table and kitchen .

[unique kraken]

@stoic gyro i would look up some archviz tutorials, maybe blender might be a better source in this case.
for archviz in blender i usually use the add on archimesh.

and i would build it in real world scale, meaning, know how high the wall is etc

[fierce tulip]

manny is really broad. replacing him with a skinnier setup makes it look better.
another reason for it to feel smaller is because we are used at looking at rooms from our own perspective, and our eyes have a different fov. so to speak.

[drowsy snow]

Consider using Quinn instead, which is more proportional to real human funnily enough

[unique kraken]

^^ also good idea, was just thinking about how to phrase that

make it first person

[drowsy snow]

Is #metahumans a dating site? 😳

HECK YEAH

[stoic gyro]

I did real life scale on the house based on print. An okay did not know the feelds of wive

[drowsy snow]

Also third person view will make anything looked smaller than it should be

[stoic gyro]

Thanks a lot for the replies and help i have see if it's just the feel of scale from the perspective thats off

[short light]

Hi, was trying to get a couple of questions answered earlier (not covered by the FAQ) and I ended up getting called away for an important phone call just as people were responding. That's how it goes sometimes, right?

Anyway, for anyone who is willing to indulge totally new-to-UE questions:

As a one-man team I feel pretty intimidated by UE. I feel comfortable in GMS2 and Unity, but am willing to learn UE if it suits the kind of projects I want to do. I can clearly see that UE has got to be one of, if not the best engine out there. That said, is UE more the kind of engine that benefits from having a team of people performing all the various aspects, or can it reasonably be done by a one-man team?

And I don't mean in the sense that "anything can be done with enough willpower" I mean, is it reasonable to learn UE and implement all features entirely by myself (assuming I have sufficient skills to do that in other engines like mentioned above)?

Assuming that's a yes, then I guess I got lots of questions from there, but that's by far the biggest one.

[drowsy snow]

Is it reasonable to learn UE and implement all features entirely by myself (assuming I have sufficient skills to do that in other engines like mentioned above)?

Can't see why not. You can proto many systems with BP, and then either run away with it or translate them to C++ when you're happy with it. All by yourself. (I did many gameplay features all by myself too)

[short light]

BP, that's blueprinting, right? just trying to be clear on terms

[drowsy snow]

Yes

The electrical engineering equivalent for making games

[short light]

I'm used to the concept of prototyping, but BP is...new to me.

or rather BP in gamedev

[drowsy snow]

minus the capacitors

[short light]

I have to admit I'm VERY intimidated by UE

maybe because everything I see made in it looks amazing XD

With GMS2 (as an example) I feel like that engine is extremely limited, very simple, and as a result, very easy to jump in and just mess things up and unmess things up and so on. I'm worried that with this new project I want to start that I'll be 3 years deep into the project, tearing my hair out because I had to do new-to-me implementations while using a new-to-me engine.

[drowsy snow]

There are a lot of simpler UE projects out there, so don't worry about other fancy projects

[jade trench]

UE is a Swiss Army knife: you can do a lot of things with it, but the more things you try to open up at once (e.g. try to learn at once), the more likely you accidentally stab yourself. 😉

Seriously, though, UE is very modular. If you try to do everything all at once, it's overwhelming and you'll drown. But if you pick a specific bite-sized chunk and figure that out first -- like "how to flesh out a character movement system" or "how to do graphics for menus or a HUD" or whatnot -- it's much more manageable.

And as Makoto notes, there are plenty of UE projects that are very simple and don't use all of the systems.

[short light]

Yeah, that's one I'm afraid of. I don't necessarily need "feature-rich" today. But y'know, if I can learn the basics of the tool, those features might come in handy down the road. So I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense to hop over to UE5 right now with the release and since I'm starting a new project and just start figuring it all out or if it's just gonna be too big of a thing for a single guy like me to do in which case... idk if I wanna take all that in.

[jade trench]

I tried doing a big one when I first started with UE, and it was a mistake. Then I did something very simple... I think it was basically just a maze game a'la Pac-Man or whatnot. Then I started adding things (pits to jump over, etc.) and so on, until I had tinkered with more and more systems. Wasn't a game I ever released, but it was a good learning experience.

[short light]

I'm trying to do something that will require a lot of problem solving on my end but probably won't be demanding a lot from the engine per se. One-man implementation of my project is going to be very challenging. But as long as the engine isn't also challenging me, I think I'll survive haha. MAYBE. XD

[jade trench]

I could go either way on that "should I do UE5 right now". If you start with UE4, there's definitely a lot more tutorials out there on how to do a given thing. Which means a lot more resources to pull from.

On the other hand, UE5 is the future direction of the engine, so if you're going to be learning everything from scratch, there's maybe something to be said for learning the UE5 versions from the start rather than learning UE4 ways of doing things and then unlearning them to learn UE5 down the road.

(Of course, there's also the factor that UE5 is a fresh release and still has some parts that aren't entirely a smooth experience yet.)

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[short light]

Oh they can probably develop UE5 faster than I can use all the widgets and features XD

[drowsy snow]

Most UE4 tutorials are applicable to UE5
It's just that the UI stuff and some BP node will be pulled out in a slightly different way

Thankfully it's not like transitioning from UE3/UDK to UE4

[jade trench]

For all the basic stuff, this is true. I feel like when you get into more advanced stuff -- physics, advanced lighting, etc. -- the stuff starts to vary rather more.

At any rate... I think if the project is a spare-time thing and not on a timeline of any sort, I'd personally probably go for learning the new stuff from the start and just go with UE5.

Especially since by the time you get to the advanced stuff that does differ from UE4, the engine will probably have the wrinkles in those more-or-less ironed out.

[short light]

I'm a stay-at-home parent so I work on things kinda sporadically. I sit down and read an article then feed the baby. Then I try to implement some code and then change the baby. Then I get sucked into a deathmatch with my other two boys. Then I watch a youtube video about openworld systems or something. etc etc etc. HAHA. I can dedicate a LOT of time to the project, but it's all very broken up so I really only learn stuff just a little bit at a time. Usually just like ONE specific question (as an example: "how do I dynamically change the size of xyz object but also dynamically change the collision box as well"--an actual question I once had when first learning GMS2) will take me several days to get an answer to...which isn't a pace I like to work at, but it's a realistic one.

I guess one benefit is I have a LOT of time to think about my implementations, questions, current issues, etc in between the actual execution.

[drowsy snow]

Well, for comparison, I'm a single man, not having a family (on my own), and I had more spare time learning UE4 for 5 years by now.
Though I do have modding experience beforehand

[rare delta]

Anyone able to direct me to the resources channel? I briefly remember hearing that there was one. I need to learn a bit more about the ue4 lighting system.

[drowsy snow]

Pinned message.

[rare delta]

ty!

[short light]

I have a very ecclectic experience: engineering, CAD, MATLAB, Java, C, GMS2, HTML, excel (lol), lego programming (lol), etc. I wouldn't say I'm very good at any of them. XD

Although my background does make me very comfortable leaning on math implementations for things. I'm much stronger on math than programming actually.

[drowsy snow]

I'm still wondering to myself, how would my game development endeavours will be once I have a family (if I lucky enough to have one at least)

But I digress

[short light]

My family made it possible for me to get into gamedev and writing more. By making me focus up, I was able to cut out the things that were less important so I can focus on the things I care about more. My family taught me that. And they are definitely a blessing to be sure.

[crimson depot]

I'd like to create a Kart Racing game like Mario Kart. Would I set the vehicles/karts up the traditional way you do vehicles. Like the example or would it be different? Thanks!

[drowsy snow]

Talk about lucky, heh, I was pretty much self thought, modding games since I was a youngin, then moved to Unity for a while before jumping to UE full time lol

[drowsy snow]

Ideally you want to roll out your own vehicle physics system for arcade kart racers. Built in vehicle physics can be finicky to turn from simulation-y physics to arcade one.

||puns are not intentional and covered by insurances||

[short light]

well I was convinced enough to download UE5

I'll start dabbling and see how I feel about it.

[drowsy snow]

Good thing UE5 fully released now, because I no longer have to say "use UE4 in the meantime"

[drowsy snow]

Though that being said, tutorials and learning resources from Unreal Online Learning is still mainly UE4, so it'll take extra of getting used to when improvising them to UE5
https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/onlinelearning-courses

[short light]

Yeah I've been thinking about UE5 for a while and saw the full release and said, well... now's the time I guess.

[strong thorn]

Sorry guys, is this the right place to ask a question regarding being stuck opening a ThirdPersonCharacter project stuck at 75% in ue5? 🤔

[tough falcon]

@strong thorn it is compiling shaders. No idea why.

Wait for it

Someone mentioned turning off dtx

[strong thorn]

I don't see any process regarding the shaders, so I was guessing it was another issue

should I wait then? because it was not taking this time before

[summer plume]

Hello, is it possible to change quality settings during runtime? Lets say for example I have a button ingame that someone presses to toggle shadows on/off or changes shadow quality, things like that. Is it possible to do that?

[fluid cave]

Should Be Able To.

Idk If U Can.

But U Should.

Be Able To.

[drowsy snow]

PSA: Unreal Online Learning courses is now merged into Epic Developer Community site, and the new link is this:
https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning

[ivory furnace]

When two characters collide, one of them jumps in the air out of the way. Whats causing this? I deleted the ABP. Still happens. Simulate physics is not on. Their is nothing in the event graph. The c++ base class is clear. I turned off the control rig.

I cant for the life of me figure this out

This happens in the default version of ue5 3rd person template

[lone mulch]

Hello, I am currently working on a project with a light puzzle and I need to make it so completing the light puzzle opens a door. I have everything working, the only part that i don't know how to do is detecting that the puzzle is completed and making that open the door. Any help is apricated

[scarlet turret]

Is there any known way to fix this issue?

I'm using Unreal Engine 5 btw, although I also had this issue in UE4

[drowsy snow]

r.Streaming.PoolSize <size in MiB>

[cedar wave]

https://lmgtfy.app/?q=ue4+texture+streaming+pool+over+budget

[scarlet turret]

Awesome, do you have any suggestions for the mb size?

[drowsy snow]

Up to your VRAM budget

Though do note that higher it goes, the more it's less representative of what others would get with their own hardware

[scarlet turret]

Alright thanks so much! Maybe I'll aim for around half what my Vram is for now

[jovial kiln]

Someone should pin that you can fix the quixel bridge issue by placing the plugin folder manually copied from someones ue5 that has it already

[neon bough]

i think streaming behavior in a real shipped build behaves different than in editor anyways

unless you make a topdown game where the whole world is visible to the player

[icy egret]

hey, is there anyone who has a problem that Lyra Shooter has infinity loading?

[oak patio]

Yes, look into game user settings

[coarse turtle]

How can I get MSVC 14.29.30133 for visual studio?

[drowsy snow]

By installing it in Visual Studio Installer

[coarse turtle]

I don't see it

https://gyazo.com/ebf0110c63423048f4a0837e91b1bd38

[drowsy snow]

Are you using VS2019?

[coarse turtle]

yes- so i need vs2022

[drowsy snow]

Seems like it, though VS 2022 toolchain is on v14.30

[coarse turtle]

So if I want to build a plugin for UE5, I'd need VS2022. I was trying to use the Unreal-Binary-Builder to build my plugin.

[coarse turtle]

Maybe I can use the VS2022 installer to get that.

[tender fiber]

Does games like valorant and COD uses animation driven ADS or procedural\

[drowsy snow]

COD seem to be state machine based.
Hell Let Loose is procedural. (one of the tech animators confirm this)

[plush yew]

How can you make destruction physics and animations in unreal matrix demo? Like plane crash in building, explosions, car flipping over. All that hollywood stuff.

and does the meshes by default have destruction abilities?

i mean they are nanite

just like in that valley demo

[drowsy snow]

They're prebaked.

But the car flipping is dynamic

[final patio]

I am updated ue 5. My player is strange

[plush yew]

Yeah, car flipping seems easier to make for now

In valley demo parts of rocks are falling

[drowsy snow]

Looks like TAA artifacts

[plush yew]

can you achieve same with buildings in matrix demo?

[final patio]

My aliasing option is TSR , i tried others but they are give me bad output. What should I do?

[drowsy snow]

You can destruct anything with Chaos, though probably Nanite worked differently or just won't work

I don't have hardware capable of Nanite, so no way for me to check lol

[drowsy snow]

Use higher screen percentage.

Basically super sampling

[final patio]

@drowsy snow thank you, i will try.

[plush yew]

im able to run demo with rtx 3060, ryzen 5600 and 32 gb ram on high settings

ram is maxed out, sometimes it crashes

and sometimes unreal drains hdd space

[drowsy snow]

That's way above what I have right now lmao

[plush yew]

only problem is old projects from 4.26

when I open the project it creates double disk size of the project

and I run out of disc space

[drowsy snow]

Jeez, I'm jealous of those who are able to witness UE5 new features in person 😦

[plush yew]

yeah, feels like a damn movie lol

way too overwhelming

[drowsy snow]

cries in a potato with intel iGPU with dead dGPU

[plush yew]

but it needs to be optimized in future

[drowsy snow]

Sure, I can still watch YT videos on Lumen and Nanite, but wouldn't it be nice for me to witness it with my own eyes, and directly gauge it with my needs, or use it for machinima projects...
Oh well, I guess I can only dream.

[plush yew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU0gvPcc3jQ&t=1s&ab_channel=UnrealEngine

that part in 7:40

[drowsy snow]

I watched it numerous times, to the point I can imagine what happened on what particular time section

[plush yew]

or 5:35 scene

damn

lol

[drowsy snow]

Yeah, I can only watch, not getting through it in person

[plush yew]

can't wait for tutorials on how to make cinematic fast and furious car chases from that demo lol

[drowsy snow]

Just improvise from this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eXldgzeuj1k

[plush yew]

lol, i've seen that one

i mean the part before the final scene is kinda realistic

but then in the end he has movie type of scene lol

not sure if it's sarcasm or it's actually that easy lol

[drowsy snow]

Neither of those.
Lazy Tuts are just cut to the chase versions of what go through those kind of scenes

||puns are not intentional, but damages are not covered by insurance||

[raven estuary]

Ian Hubert very much has the super rough and dirty this is how you get it done as quick as possible. So it is kinda that easy

[plush yew]

I mean you create a plane and animation of chase in blender and then just apply real life looking textures?

[upbeat spoke]

any type of shortcut key to set selected object to no collision?

[final moth]

any idea what should I do with this?

it claims it is not installed, but nowhere in the launcher that I could see a clear button or command how to install it now

[raven estuary]

Make sure your launcher is updated then entirely close (taskbar) and reopen unreal and see if that fixes is

It*

[final moth]

makes sense, but where do I see if the launcher is updated? It doesn't say anything about that either

aha found it

funny, but it seems they still need to work on the UX

so yes, that fixed it 🙂 thanks

[raven estuary]

No problem!

[smoky lance]

Is there a way to make decals with height or a workaround to achieve that kind of look?

[oak patio]

A mesh?

You coukd use normals if you want it to bounce light for psuedo 3d

[smoky lance]

That mesh would need to be applied to any surrounding surfaces like a decal. And actually change the meshes underneath

[oak patio]

So you want it to deform the meshes

Not sure of any way to do that

[thin tendon]

So I am playing around with ue5. In 4 there was an option for static meshes to use a set LOD as an occluder. Does anyone know where this option went. I can't seem to find anything in 5 that lets me sets objects to occlude things behind them.

[smoky lance]

@oak patio sad that their isnt an option to do that :/ but thanks anyways!

[oak patio]

I'll have another look into it but this seems like a custom system without using something like faking methids

Maybe vertex offsets innthe material is what your looking for?

[mild charm]

Anyone else having an issue in ue5 where "browse to content" doesn't work?

I'm currently poking around the Lyra project and browse to content just opens up the content browser, but doesn't redirect me to the specific asset

Interesting, it appears to be happening only with the GameMode 🤔

[raven estuary]

I think (and big think here cause I'm dumb, new, and not able to look myself) but I think it's referencing cpp and so it won't pull anything up

[spice ruin]

It should go to the class in the class browser then, surely?

[grim bolt]

Browse to content wont generally work if the content is in Cpp which lyra suprisingly relies alot on. Go to editor settings and choose a default editor

[raven estuary]

Do you guys have YouTube channels you recommend to learn unreal?

[fierce tulip]

https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning/courses/

[raven estuary]

Those are some great videos I've been watching I'm just looking for a wider variety of places to learn

[fierce tulip]

thing is, its hard to suggest anything without a particular topic you are interested in, else people will probably just say "google X + Y"

[raven estuary]

That's fair! I'm not looking for anything in particular really I'm just looking at learning random things from several places. For example I've been watching a good bit of Ryan laley's tutorials as well as virtus

I was just wondering if anyone had some hidden gem people on YouTube

[rotund scroll]

but typing stuff into a search bar is so much harder than typing stuff into a discord chat 😔

[real lily]

Hi my name is Akil Kannan, We are currently working on a virtual production project. I've been running on a few issues related to Cinematic Ray tracing, basically the shot is focused on soap bubble flowing in the air where you can see a slight reflection of background and rest all out of focus when using DOF. So when I enabled Ray tracing the DOF is adjusting properly and getting blurred with background. I kept the aperture to 1.2 and still its happening. Weird part is when i disable Ray tracing itself everything is normal and getting blurred correctly but real time reflection doen't work!!. I need some help

[raven estuary]

You'll likely get the best help in #cinematics

[real lily]

Oh okay thanks

[fierce tulip]

well, there is something to be said about getting good suggestions, over just randomly clicking on links on google/youtube.

@raven estuary while I dont have suggestions on the top of my head, quite a few channels have pinned messages that might have good stuff. graphics channel for example.

[raven estuary]

Oh thank you I didn't know that

[thick herald]

Ryan Laley, underscore, Reids Channel, Mathew Wadstein, Matt Aspland, PrismaticaDev, Valkyrie Sound, probably others.

[raven estuary]

Thank you a few there I haven't heard of!

[fierce tulip]

@inland hollow hey hey, could you please take a look at the #rules as asking the same question in multiple times is a nono. thanks :)

[inland hollow]

all good then

[inland hollow]

can i ask it again here though 😂

cause it got deleted in both channels

[fierce tulip]

if you remove the other one though, then yes.

[inland hollow]

Hello
i have downloaded a gate mesh with some animations
but the gate is not opening, i am guessing i need to set the animation by myself? any idea guys

done

[raven estuary]

Yes you would have to set the animations and make a blueprint

[fierce tulip]

depends on if it was downloaded in an unreal engine format, or other format. if its a skeletal animation or blueprint animation, etc.

[inland hollow]

it seem to be skeletal animation , the format is .fbx

[fierce tulip]

then you'll need to look into skeletal mesh animation.
generally though we'd import a static mesh gate + walls/doors, and just change the rotation of the door-parts in blueprint, as that is much cheaper than doing it trough skeletal mesh, performance wise.

[inland hollow]

you know, let me do it from scratch, i want to make a gate that open when player interact with it, any good youtube resource on that?

or maybe any blog/article?

[fierce tulip]

i dont do much blueprinting myself, so wouldnt know. I'll bet following along a few of the gettign started with blueprint videos epic provides on the hub/learning platform will suffice.

[inland hollow]

instead of adding tracks, how can i add animations?

[rotund scroll]

using an AnimMontage node

[inland hollow]

like this?

[rotund scroll]

no that's a cast

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/AnimatingObjects/SkeletalMeshAnimation/AnimMontage/

[inland hollow]

yeah converting, does not make sense i guess

[upbeat spoke]

Getting flickering similar to zfighting with water at certain views (for mesh and surface shadows)… anyone familiar with that have tips for combating it? (Surface Meshes and shadows flicker in and out)

[ember cypress]

@fierce tulip already recommended the Dev Community which will have a mix of both Epic made and community content. So you'll be able to find a bunch of people there.
For more specific topics, I'm personally a fan of Will Faucher ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGKjGGjdl-GzEcFPf1EQwqw ) and Sonali Singh (https://www.youtube.com/c/SonaliSingh).

Unreal Directive has been putting out some short, good, content as well. https://www.youtube.com/c/UnrealDirective/videos

[raven estuary]

Thank you so much!

[ember cypress]

You bet!

[bleak zodiac]

include the tutorial on open gate that can use for your refference

[mighty copper]

Quick question for anyone who can answer. For some reason Quixel Bridge is not showing in the New Released Version of UE5, is this by design or am I missing something simple... I've gone through all the plugins.

[thick herald]

check pinned messages in this channel 🙂

[drowsy snow]

BTW any public glimpse on the verification process for the community tuts? Is it have to be reproducable on Epic's side with vanilla workflow? Or verifying for any misconceptions?

[mighty copper]

@thick herald Thanks a million... Thought I was losing it or something....😎

[north monolith]

If you download from megascans, are you not able to set the texture sizes? Getting 8k textures for everything is a bit overkill when prototyping

[sturdy smelt]

Can anyone tell me how to ask in the New Answerhub?, that is so Stupid, like , i cant find any Tag Version of the Engine, and i cant Ask whitout Engine Tag,

[drowsy snow]

You can, even after importing them to unreal

[north monolith]

Yeah, after I know, but I don't want to have to download 8k in the first place

[vale depot]

Yea.. for this reason I stopped using the bridge plugin.. open bridge outside of UE5 and you can control 1000% more settings like exactly what maps you want to download .. than import manually.. saves your file size

[north monolith]

Ah, that's a valid option, I might go that route as well if there's no other fixes

Thanks

[drowsy snow]

You're in UE5?

Because with UE4 and standalone Bridge, texture size IS an option.

[north monolith]

Yeah, using the plugin, can't seem to find any options for texture sizes on nanite meshes. I can also just download the medium one and change it to nanite when importing, come to think of it. Maybe Ill do that

[vale depot]

I usually also pack the textures on rgb channels this way I can split them inside UE5 and only have to have a single texture file for normal, height, and OA

[drowsy snow]

Yeah, I'm out
I didn't touched UE5's plugin yet, so no idea about the settings and workflows.

[vale depot]

UE5 plug-in auto imports all files and creates a smart material for you .. but it’s super inefficient for filesize and shader

[drowsy snow]

At least in UE4, you can limit texture size in Device Profiles

[fierce tulip]

since its related, in the off-cases where I do get content with textures that are way too big, and I know for certain I'll never need the 8k/4k/etc texture, resizing them this way has saved me dozens of gb already:
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/texture-resize-sc

[vale depot]

That’s not how it works in UE5

[drowsy snow]

Ugh, damn kids with their setting changes

[vale depot]

Ue4 you export from bridge using a plugin and can control the exact files / sizes you want.. UE5 changes this to an import feature from within 5 and auto creates smart materials for you.. but you loose the ability to customize the exact sizes and what texture maps you want

You can still download manually from within bridge itself and manually import .. just don’t use the bridge plugin from within ue5

[north monolith]

Cheers, Luos, Im gonna have a look at that @fierce tulip I got that beta version of a landscape shader I was going to test a few months back from you, but I had some issues, then got caught up in other work and never got back to it. Sorry about that, I should've given you a shout out on it.

[fierce tulip]

no worries

[drowsy snow]

Quixel pls fix

Based from other reports that I've seen, it seems like UE5's Quixel plugin is in a messy state

[north monolith]

Actually, testing now, just downloading the Medium Quality and turning it into nanite in the engine is a valid option for now, though far from perfect. More control over texture sizes before downloading is really needed. It'll save you some time directly downloading the Nanite mesh with the texture size you would want with it.

Medium Quality - 2k textures
High Quality - 4k textures
Nanite - 8k Textures

Is there a way someone from the community could make a course? I don't think I've seen that. Just one-off tutorials.

[jovial atlas]

Can I still open 4.27 projects at my school that only has 4.27.1 installed?

Sorry if that’s wrong place to ask

[drowsy snow]

Yes.

[jovial atlas]

Cool thank you!

[drowsy snow]

But if it's 4.27.2 to 4.27.1, you might encounter some issues (though IIRC that shouldn't stop you from opening it at all)

You'll have more luck going from 4.27.0 to 4.27.1

[jovial atlas]

So I’d have to upgrade the project?

[drowsy snow]

Yesn't.
hotfix versions shouldn't be as prohibitive as upgrading minor versions

[jovial atlas]

Alright, thanks a lot :)

[drowsy snow]

But if you encounter problems, you should move forward with the engine versions

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone could help me with a weird issue that I just ran into?

Im working in a school project making a game and Im not sure what the hell happened but all the sudden the game speed got altered and the character is runing fast. I have no idea why. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Hi, I can't get static/stationary objects to cast shadows at all when I set the preview mode to Android Vulkan ES3.1. In SM5 the shadows work correctly, based on the angle of the scene's Directional Light (sky), but when I switch to Android preview all of the shadows disappear. How can I enable them?

[candid falcon]

dose UE5 run on windows 7?
right not I'm useing UE4 and it would really help if I could use some of the tools in UE5 but I can't afford to get a newer system right now

[faint meadow]

I’m not sure in terms of whether it will start up, possibly, but you aren’t going to be using VSM and nanite without DX12 anyway. If you plan on using that

It’s probably recommended to have windows 10 and up

[candid falcon]

nice, so I'm boned then?

[grim ore]

@candid falconhttps://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/hardware-and-software-specifications-for-unreal-engine/

Hey friends, is there a hotkey or a quick function to snap any selected object in the viewport to the vector grid, similar to the "Vertext Snapped to Grid" function in blueprints?

Hey, i want to start doing things for unreal, like enviroments, and i dont know whats the best way to do it. I always do enviroments in blender and assets and stuff. What i should do just export it from blender to unreal or is there better ways? i saw there are procedural assets and you can create mesh inside unreal, and i dont know how i should start with unreal

[ember cypress]

If you got an idea for a course, plan it out and let us know! Epic made content has some unique guidelines we follow.
If you just want to start making your own tutorials, you're encouraged to do so on the Epic Developer Community! https://dev.epicgames.com/community/learning

[cedar wave]

Well - I was just curious if there was a way to have the same course like structure, but created via community. IE - have multiple modules. I can only see that community can only do one-off tutorials. I've looked to see if there was a way, but couldn't find it. Kind of like a playlist in Youtube for example. Or one of ya'lls courses.

Are you saying that the only way to do that currently is to contact Epic?

Yes.

[oak patio]

Unreal learninf to start you off on the new Dev Community

[ember cypress]

Yes, I do currently believe that only community members can make the one off tutorials.

EDIT: Clarification: Community members can not make courses.

[oak patio]

Some youtube tutorials are alright, but a lot of people just copy the cide and dont absorb the concept

May also wanna brush up on basic vector math and such

Blueprint is programming. Don't let anyone tell you anything different.

Sure - doesn't mean it's not programming.

Fact of the matter is - there is no way around programming if you want to make a game.

Is anyone having a problem loading into a ue4 project copy for 5.0
I'm stuck at 83% and it says engine sounds/submixes/mastersubmixdefault

[grim ore]

@still hemlockcheck task manager, see what is going on

[still hemlock]

what should I look for

it says livecodingconsole and unrealeditor

[grim ore]

either one, do they look like they are doing anything? CPU use, etc..

83% is normally a compilation stage

[still hemlock]

0%

[grim ore]

ugh... maybe close it and try opening it again, see if it gets stuck in the same spot

[still hemlock]

I've done that

I had this problem last night

[grim ore]

is this the first time opening the engine, or just the project?

[still hemlock]

first time using the engine ue5

I just copied my ue4 project to 5.0

[grim ore]

maybe open a new project first to get into the engine, then open your project

[still hemlock]

ok

[oak patio]

No

You need to learn the engine before you think about a game

[still hemlock]

or have alot of money

hire a team and all

that's what I'm doing but I've already captured the aestestic of my game world

I'm making an anime game

[oak patio]

Even then you shouldnt just hire a full team with no idea whats going on

[thin tendon]

There is nothing wrong with learning as you go. Everyone learns differently. And everyone has their own opinion of how others should learn.

[oak patio]

Learn the basics

What things do, where things go

Then think about a really small project

There definitely is at a complete new level

[still hemlock]

I have an idea

[oak patio]

You will end up rewriting the entire thing

[thin tendon]

I am of the opposite mind. Pick an idea. One that is complex. And allows for scope creep. Pick something that will constantly keep you learning. Big projects are good for this.

[oak patio]

Your first game shoukdnr be much more than jumping between some platforms and picking up coins

[oak patio]

Thats a terrible way of doing things

Scope creep kills projects

[still hemlock]

crab game lol

[thin tendon]

@oak patio If its for learning then I disagree. You want to experience as much as possible and see everything used in context.

[oak patio]

yes but the point is a large project means you have lots of other elements, its better to do the whole thing many times

[still hemlock]

Idk but that's zaney

[oak patio]

that way you reinforce the idea

if your only animation experience is that one animbp you made for the super mega large project, that aint exactly great

plus a large project equals more places to go wrong

more chances to burn out

you want to start as small as possible when extremely new

[thin tendon]

More places to go wrong are a good thing when you are "LEARNING"

[still hemlock]

I take my time with projects and write down stuff I want to add to my game

[oak patio]

not really

[thin tendon]

Failure is the best way to learn

[still hemlock]

i like tortols

[oak patio]

if all of your game suddenly breaks one day, i guarantee no newbie is gonan want to sit down and fix everything

the best way to learn at a begginer level is baby steps

not throwing yourself in to the most complex thing imaginable

thats been proven to make people give up

[thin tendon]

Most wouldn't but the person who wants to learn and understand. Truelly understand. They would take the time.

[oak patio]

someone why truly wants to understand would take the time to do several small projects

people can truly want to learn and experience burn out and imposter syndrome

[thin tendon]

Yes and no depends on the outlook.

[oak patio]

i mean it doesnt depend

anyone can suffer from burnout

its not exactly a planned thing

[oak patio]

thats pretty but the glare is a tad too high imo

[oak patio]

now that is really nice

yea niagara

they look kinda like cherry blossom leaves on the small image

which is still rlly pretty

[thin tendon]

curios now. Are you using a screen effect for the stylized look?

[still hemlock]

that's what I like about them

[still hemlock]

what part?

the character or the enviornment

[ember cypress]

You could! Everyone learns differently and you should start where you think you want to start. I recommend Your First Hour in UE5 because I know that tutorial - because it's designed to be entry level for anyone who wants to do anything. So, not know your goals for learning UE5, I choose the more generalized option.

It'd be weird to recommend Your First Game in UE5 to someone who wants to do Architectural Visualizations.

underscore can be helpful too

[oak patio]

Mathew W is good for if you need help understanding what a BP node does

Bro Mat W and his What is series has saved my ass so many times

[ember cypress]

I would also like to point out that MathewW created the Your First Hour in Unreal Engine 5 course.

[grim ore]

I actually have a question for you guys regarding culling and occluding. in ue4 there used to be an option to use meshes as an occluder. In ue5 I can't find it. until the mesh is placed in the world. And its already ticked on. Is this now a default option where it is always on?

[still hemlock]

I'm still stuck

Ima try something else hol on

does ue5 run at higher fps than 120?

that's what I'm hoping for

[oak patio]

have you tried using the frame rate console command

theres one to set an fps limit iirc and it defaults to 120

[grim ore]

t.maxfps XXX in the console sets the max fps, it defaults to 120 yep

Hello everyone, I just got a problem under unreal engine 4.27
so basically, when creating a blueprint:
-I open it, it's fine
-I close it, and immediately re-open it, I got some missing windows (components, details, event graph for example)

Fixes I tried so far:
-Deleting and re-installing Unreal Engine
-Verifying the entire Engine files
-Window → Layout → Load Layout → Default Editor Layout

Here’s a short video where I replicated my issue (I did replicated it few times, it always happens)

Video where I replicated the issue:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4WAhltofWw&ab_channel=STARSRedfield

Link to the forum thread:
https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/4-27-some-windows-disappear-without-reasons-components-details-event-graph/518637

[grim ore]

when that happens click class defaults, I bet it says "data only blueprint" at the top of that window

[vagrant atlas]

Maybe instead of that I could place meshes like puzzle pieces.

[left nexus]

In this tab ?

[grim ore]

once it fails to load up properly, go to windows -> class defaults (I saw you had it in the video)

see what that shows

this is what is supposed to be showing up

clicking that blue link will fix that blueprint

[left nexus]

OMG

THANK YOU !

It works

[grim ore]

your issue is that window is not showing up like it should be, it does that when you create a blueprint and do nothing to it. It hides all the extra stuff since it thinks you are just using it for data only

[left nexus]

Spend 4 hours trying to fix that xD

[grim ore]

if it keeps happening, just change something or add a blank event or something to the event graph so it doesnt treat it as data only

it shouldnt be doing what it does for you, but...

[left nexus]

Yeah

Actually it started in another project

After I deleted some stuff to restart from scartch because I'm pretty sure I forgot one step

And then I got stucked

Hey folks! The initial problems with Quixel Bridge and UE5 should now be resolved.

Hello, if I am experienced with c# with Unity, but want to now do things in UE5, do you recommend blueprints or C++?

[fierce tulip]

both as they are interconnected.
and learning blueprints gives you a better understanding of how unreal cpp works.

ok so then I will need to get comfy with both of them haha

Every time I try to move these Destructible Mesh assets this struct gets broken and the refs get set to None. This is from a marketplace pack, not my code. Am I doing something wrong? It's just a standard drag & drop + fix up redirectors, and yet the next time I launch UE4 it's all fucked.

The weirdest part is it LOOKS fine, until I quit the editor and restart

[trim mantle]

Is there a need for this channel? Now that UE5 is an official engine?

Or for #ue5-general

xD

[light thunder]

Why is are the context menus I have jacking up?

interesting - it was BLACK for me but the screencap is fine

[drowsy snow]

Also C# in UE4 is only relevant for making build scripts. Apart from that, you won't actually use it for scripting gameplay.

[candid stream]

Does somebody know, how I can get this?

[raven geode]

ohh i see.. thanks

[drowsy snow]

Not For Sale? 🤔
If they're not reworking on it, it might be that they're discontinuing it. Though make sure your browser/Epic launcher not acting up

[candid stream]

it doesn't even show up in the epic launcher. I had to search for it in the web browser

[drowsy snow]

I guess they did discontinue it for whatever reason

[blazing fractal]

Does anyone know how to make a skippable cutscene that plays through a media player and a widget?

[drowsy snow]

Do you have any form of skippable cutscene system going already?

[blazing fractal]

Yeah but we need one for in game, we are making a medieval RPG and we need to be able to skip cutscenes when you meet bosses.

We need a way to turn on the widget with the media player on collision, click a specific button and then destroy widget and sound. Give back player movement.

[grim ore]

that sounds like your system right there

you can use a material in UMG for media playback

[blazing fractal]

What we are struggling with is just the ability to skip, we try different things and it messes with the player movement or just doesn't skip.

[grim ore]

have you tried disabling movement on the character? or disabling all input but UI?

[blazing fractal]

Right we take out player movement on collision so you don't hear the characters footsteps

[grim ore]

you might need to disable input on the character, the set input mode to ui only, then pop up the UI and require a button press then reverse what you did before. If you need non mouse input for the UI then you might need to set up some listen handlers on the widget to listen for keypresses as well

[blazing fractal]

Right we need to be able to skip with the keyboard and controller

[grim ore]

yep then look into setting up listen handlers in the widget to listen for that input in the UI

[blazing fractal]

Will try that out thanks

[grim ore]

you can be sneaky and set up one that is for any key and listen for that one if you want

[blazing fractal]

Nice

[grim ore]

or just require certain inputs if you already listen for them like button presses and such

this basically lets your normal input actions like on your player/controller work in UMG

[blazing fractal]

And that listen handler goes inside the widget?

To destroy the widget, would that be on the widget or level bp?

[grim ore]

either one works, the widget could destroy itself when its done. or whatever handles the skipping. sounds like the widget handling it all might be ok

and yes it goes on the widget, it tells that widget to listen

[blazing fractal]

Do we need a "play sound 2d BP" to play a media player in game?

For the audio of the cutscene to work?

Ok, this is an Unreal Engine 3 question lol. I'm trying to figure out an old UE3 game's save system works. When saving, the game creates a .SAV file and .BKM files. These files are identical apart from the extension. My question is WHY is the game/the engine creating a "useless" BKM file alongside the .SAV file? The BKM's can be deleted and the game doesn't seem to "notice" when loading game.

Heyhey, guys! I got a quick question - if I want to create a fresnel node that is influenced by a normalmap without actually plugging a normalmap into the Main Material Node, what do I need to plug into the fresnel node's normal input? I would guess I'd take a PixelNormalWS node and in some way add the normalmap on top but I'm not sure how exactly to go about that. I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a while and can't really seem to figure it out so now I'm asking here. 😄 I'm trying to create a shader that resembles opal and it would be really important to get a good understanding of how this would work for that but so far I couldn't find any tutorials or other info on the topic.

[fiery copper]

would this work for you?

can't seem to make it play nice

[coral patio]

Thanks for the quick reply! 😄 Unfortunately it doesn't quite work - I get similar results to what I've been trying so far this way. The fresnel colors shift when looking at the mesh from above and don't quite fit how it would look when seen from the side without an input in the normal input. What I'm trying to do is to get the same fresnel effect all around

[fiery copper]

but only had a few mins spare

[coral patio]

Yeah, same here x) I've been thinking about this for a while but couldn't really come up with something reliable. But the BlendAngleCorrectedNormals node looks interesting, I'll try that out further!

[fiery copper]

got it to work with a normal map set to linear

seems to be working from all angles..

oh yeah thats not right hahaha

sorry, gotta run

[coral patio]

No problem! 😄 Thanks for the effort, though! :]

[drifting elbow]

you need to transform the normal map from tangent space to world space using the transform node

at least, I believe this would be needed so you can combine world space pixel normals and tangent space normal maps

[coral patio]

Thank you!! That was what I was looking for! :]

[dire fjord]

Some one completely screwed the forum and put a theme on it that's completely unreadable.

I really don't know how it's possible to screw up a forum this badly over and over again

[fiery copper]

ahh! I was looking for a node to transform but didn;t think to search for transform. hhahaha I was looking for world and tangenet etc, hahaha

yeah the forum is a disaster right now 😦

[dire fjord]

No this is worse than the previous dark mode

the previous dark mode could be read.

this is completely unreadable.

like a week or two ago a light theme was available as a choice in the settings, but now its gone and the forum is basically black on black.

[fiery copper]

Yup I always use light themes

and its sad that its gone

but either way its unusable now

[spice ruin]

Link?

[dire fjord]

this isn't dark mode, this is stupid mode

Who set that up and then said "yes this is fine" and made it live

[mental helm]

text is medium grey for me, sure you don't have an extension or something messing with it?

[dire fjord]

I used almost 0 extensions. Ublock origin and one to return the 'view image' option to google image search

Hey guys, hope someone has the answer to this. I've been working on this scene for sometime but the pivot point has gone weird all of a sudden. I just can't rotate, move anything, it whole thing is messed up. I am just wondering what caused the issue and how I can fix this?

The direction where the drawn red arrow is where the red axis is meant to be. I am so close to finishing this, I really don't want to redo the whole thing. If there's any easy fix for this, please let me know.

[upbeat spoke]

is it possible to select assets with mapcheck errors?

[plush yew]

you can rearage the Anchor point with: "Alt+Middle Mouse btn" iirc

[loud zodiac]

Hey I tried that it won't work. Basically when I do this, it goes pack to the previous position.

[plush yew]

I don't know the context of your project. Maybe you have the object keyframed, or is it in realtime movingin anyway? I'm no expert, but that's what comes to mind.

You can try checking the forums

[loud zodiac]

Yes all the objects are connected to the camera and the camera is moving from left to right. that's the only keyframe animation I have in the scene. This was workig properly till yesterday though

[plush yew]

i found this

in this forum:
https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/how-to-permanently-change-the-pivot-of-a-static-mesh/279376/21

[plush yew]

Is it a static mesh or a fx you are moving?

[loud zodiac]

I have static meshes and fx in the scene but rigt now all i want to move is the lighting

[plush yew]

set it to dynamic

[loud zodiac]

Thanks for the above. I need to look into this. All sounds rocket science to me to be honest, I am new to Unreal

[plush yew]

all good so am I (1 year almost), it can be difficult to find the right sollution often anwsers are burried somewhere

[loud zodiac]

yeh i agree

[loud zodiac]

how do i do this?

[plush yew]

not sure if this is theproblem, but looks like this:

I ment "Moveable" sorry

Also are you sure it's not been secretly added to Sequencer?

I have that sometimes when im moving things around, I accedently add it in sequencer and keyframe it

You can also try this:

[loud zodiac]

They were all set to moveable

[loud zodiac]

I tried that too

[plush yew]

are you using sequencer?

[loud zodiac]

yes i am the camera is in the sequencer

why, is it not meant to be?

[plush yew]

hmm and not the light by accident?

[loud zodiac]

no nothing else

[plush yew]

i have that a lot

[loud zodiac]

just the camera

[plush yew]

hmm sorry thats as far as my knowledge goes from the info

You can share you screen maybe i can see whats going on

but im also noob 😄

[loud zodiac]

I can do but maybe later I am in an online lecture at the moment I am supposed to studying lol

[plush yew]

haha all good

[loud zodiac]

speak later hopefully

[plush yew]

No problem good luck, and i think your problem would be best in #cinematics or #animation , because it can get quite busy here sometimes you question will just get burried fast.

[loud zodiac]

I agree, I'll try them also

[nimble ibex]

i need help

How can i disable "collisions" of this image

[fossil nexus]

I have 2 points. My actor location (point 1), and another actor location (point 2).
I need my actor to move to point 2, plus 100 meters in that direction.
That means, going straight in the line from point 1 to point 2, plus 100 meters straight.
Is it possible to do this using blueprints?

[narrow igloo]

Yes, that's just vector math. There is probably multiple ways to do it, but the first one that come to my head is:
LookAtDirection from A to B -> Forward vector * 100 -> Add to B location

[lament sonnet]

anyone have this issue whenever export skeleton from blender pelvis bone get 180degree rotated

[fossil nexus]

So something like this right? But its not working? do i need to use squareroots ? or there is a simpler way?

[glacial needle]

Yo, I am almost finished making my game and now am designing the map. If anyone has experience/feedback dm, i want to see other people's inputs.

ah alright lorash ty

[modern arch]

My plugin content is not appearing, i have tried reinstalling all of them, but didnt help

[autumn latch]

same material

diffrent hit component

diffrent physical material :/

[narrow igloo]

Not unit direction, lookat direction. Like my first message says, after that put get forward direction, multiply it by your 100 / 1000 units, then add it to B's location.

[icy quest]

is it possible to change an actors skeletal mesh mid game?

i've got two enemy types but want to use the same actor

[narrow igloo]

And since you said you wanted 100 meters that's actually going to be 10000 for the multiply, since unreal counts in cm.

Actually unit direction might work as well, I am not familiar with how that node works, but the important part is that you do the addition with the location of the actor you want to be offset from to convert your vector from local space to world space

[rotund scroll]

yeah you will need square roots. if you just had to use comparisons between distances you could get away without square root. but if you actually need the distance point you can't really get around it

but tbh as long as you're not calling square root operations every frame you'll be fine

[mint umbra]

Hey guys, is there any way for me to edit the UV's of this scope so the lens has its own UVs for applying a RT-target material? I've got zero knowledge of Blender etc, so would prefer doing it in-engine if that's possible at all?

[frozen pond]

After deleting default first person folder im getting error every time i run project

[rocky hound]

I am not sure in which channel this goes but I have this actor which has a C++ parent (that creates components + set some variables). Everything is working correctly code-wise.
However, when I attempt to spawn this actor in my level, all the components are at some weird locations where I have to select them individually and reset their transform before it goes back to normal.

How can I make it consistent?

this is what I get when I attempt to spawn one, the collider is suddenly separate from the mesh at some weird location

I have checked that all transforms are set to 0,0,0 relative (with the mesh set at 0,0,-90 to fit the capsule collider)

[winter zenith]

How can I limit the amount the player can look down?

[drowsy snow]

Set the limit through the player camera manager.

[lament sonnet]

for single color change 300 compile texture then color change fail

what is this meaning of this .... i used unity3d change color instant

byt here 300 compile wait 15min then found no color change remain black

[oak patio]

you plug texture into the base colour

your color is black

thats why

[lament sonnet]

how to fix that

[oak patio]

and it doesnt compile 300 things or take 15 minutes

click the black box and it brings up a color wheel

[lament sonnet]

yah i do change it to red

but it doesnt changing

rather bringing 300 shared compile again and again

[oak patio]

but that doesnt happen when you do that

unless you have some magic engine

[lament sonnet]

lol xD

worse feeling is texture on ue rest everything is good

u can look this remain black

when i moving that color to red point take 150 shader render and cost huge cpu load for 1 color change

really jesus

common i used unity3d take nano second to change color

[oak patio]

thats cause your saturation is 0 lol

[lament sonnet]

if u want i can show u live stream etc video @oak patio

[oak patio]

unity 3d's material graph is no different

your

saturation

is

0

i

can

see

it

[lament sonnet]

this is reality bro

painful color change on ue

[oak patio]

wow black what a surprise

almost like the slider is black

[lament sonnet]

yah

cant even understand myself lamo

[oak patio]

so slide it up

[lament sonnet]

tried

wanna come see video ?

[oak patio]

well ya havent

0 saturation color = black

[lament sonnet]

wait i upload a video u love it

[oak patio]

just slide the saturation slider up to red

then plug into base colour

done

[drowsy snow]

Slide the right vertical slider up to control the saturation.
This is not even a good bait for Unity simping.

[lament sonnet]

you better see video

how much cost 1 color change

[oak patio]

sigh

[lament sonnet]

took my 10min for 1 color change

[drowsy snow]

ｍａｇｉｃ

[oak patio]

none, it's extremely easy

[lament sonnet]

wait i link u video

[drowsy snow]

Not even relevant, but you want to know a life hack?

[oak patio]

WOAH, i didnt think red exists

i stg if this video doesnt have the node connected

[lament sonnet]

i change the saturated it work but red doesnt work at all

but took 350 compile shader

huge waste of time

if u not believe i am link video in moment

[oak patio]

please do

[lament sonnet]

sure man hold

[oak patio]

cause that isnt a thing that happens

[drowsy snow]

Also you didn't connect the colour node into Base Color

[lament sonnet]

nope

just wait google will re-render it to make it live on drive

if u think waste of time dont watch it ok but dont toxic talk @drowsy snow demotivation

i am helping ue4 to provide bug support

i sincerely doubt there is a bug here

[glass idol]

what’s the refund policy for marketplace assets? same as games?

[lament sonnet]

simply changing 1 color 350 shader compile is bug or not ?

[drowsy snow]

also HOLY SMOKED COW! WHAT IS THIS BLACK MAGIC?!
You tell me I can make a material red with a color parameter? And I can change it in an instant with material instances? What kind of poggers voodoo magic is this?

The things they don't want you to know! Tinfoil hat intensifies!
||even though this is properly documented anywhere already, as this is the basic knowledge level of working with Materials in UE.||

[lament sonnet]

are u braindead ?

u dont have any roles u also new here like me i am asking old people on this discord not from u cause u never use unity3d and dont know the difference of color change time between the application

[oak patio]

lmao the only roles are for staff/epic staff/boosters

[drowsy snow]

||I was a Unity user until 2017 but okay||

[oak patio]

there aint activity roles

and as someone who has also used unity3d i can safely say youre just doing things wrong

that would be CRAZY

and this video still hasnt done damn

no idea really potato rip google

hahah wait i upload on youtube rather seems it background sound copyright cant

Just remux it to lower bitrate and upload it directly to discord.

[oak patio]

that would probably help more

the real issue here is your recording settings

[fierce tulip]

@lament sonnet what brother and makoto suggested for your color is correct. Also please be kind to fellow members and dont call them braindead just because of inexperience with the engine. thank you.

[oak patio]

ya need to fix those, cause no 20 second video should be 179MB ;P

[fierce tulip]

for the rest, if someone does not want to listen, please just drop it/ignore it. no reason to add more gas the the flame.

[oak patio]

unless you've harnessed the power of 128k res

[oak patio]

fair enough, mb

[lament sonnet]

better recheck chat who started bad wording first.

[fierce tulip]

I just adressed that. now please read their polite suggestions again and move that second slider up

[oak patio]

(and connect the node to base colour)

otherwise it's useless

[fierce tulip]

as you also didnt do in your video I downloaded.

[lament sonnet]

did u check it ?

[fierce tulip]

yes

[lament sonnet]

what the issue man

[fierce tulip]

you are ignoring the saturation slider.

[lament sonnet]

yah i just figure it after i change red

[oak patio]

i highly reccomend taking a beginner course

[fierce tulip]

first you pick the color, then you change saturation.

[lament sonnet]

but the time of changing small color take 5min

[oak patio]

the first hour in unreal engine will benefit you

[lament sonnet]

in unity it take 0.01sec

does the dragging of mouse hold click also call small render change issue ?

[drowsy snow]

PROTIP: Right click on a vector/color node, and choose Convert To Parameter.
Hook the newly made bad boy Vector Parameter into Base Color, and make a material instance out of it.
This way you can iterate your material faster.

(also for comparison sake, my potato computer took 20 seconds to compile a material with nothing but base color)

[lament sonnet]

ryzen7 2700x amd 580 rx turbo 64gb ram nvme 1tb

stop calling my pc potato

[oak patio]

I just timed myself in a project, from creating the material to the color loading on the object it took 11 seconds, what are you doing

[drowsy snow]

Mine is a humble i5-6200, where compiling C++ code took more than a minute lol

[oak patio]

do you have lots of high intensity marketplace content or smthn

and my pc is still worse than yours

[lament sonnet]

the color changing doesnt need any processor in first place

i wonder why their so much gpu and cpu load on small color changes

[oak patio]

again i reccomend beginner courses cause if it takes 5 mins to change a colour then youre doing something wrong

[oak patio]

i mean it does

[lament sonnet]

do i show u in unity3d color changing 0.01 second i can change color

[oak patio]

i have used unity 3d

from creating a material to assigning it to something, it takes the same time

please take the advice or stop complaining

[fierce tulip]

may I make a suggestion: lets drop this convo as its going into circles.

[lament sonnet]

is their no normal method to change color ?

rather assign to shader

[oak patio]

that is normal, to create a shader

[glass idol]

bro is it worth spending 75 bucks on assets to make a game if im still slightly new to game design lmao

[oak patio]

probably not

get some experience with free assets and greybox first

then decide on a game you can make

damn bro i just want some fancy trees :(

[glass idol]

i have, i made stuff like that in school

[fierce tulip]

@glass idol practice first, get really fun/tight gameplay first. making it look pretty can be done later.

[oak patio]

(and quixel has some good ones)

[drowsy snow]

but if i did get one, which would you recommend?

[rocky hound]

I have the red health bar which is a UMG widget. Is there any easy way to make it visible properly?
If I set it to World => The bar is considered flat and can go invisible at certain angles.
If I set it to screen => The bar is always visible even when the enemy is behind walls
desired behavior: rotate to face me or anything as long as it doesnt go invis or shown behind obstacles
what are my options to fix this?

[drowsy snow]

Set it to screen, but do a line trace to your player camera to determine the visibility

[grim violet]

I am currently trying to use the virtual camera inside of UE4 and the Unreal Remote app is very slow and laggy on the phone, I am trying to have it where the phone is an external monitor in a way for the virtual camera so I can see how I am moving the camera. Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do to make the connection to my iPhone a lot more stable?

[drowsy snow]

Make sure your wi-fi router has high bandwidth and not being clogged by another activity.

[grim violet]

makes sense i restarted

[fierce merlin]

anyone here worked on a third person shooter that could explain how they handle aiming different types of weapons? For projectile weapons I'm currently doing a trace from the camera for visibility (ignoring hitboxes) and then shooting the projectile from the gun to the camera trace impact. For hitscan I'm tracing against visbility AND hitboxes so that I always hit what my crosshair is on. However, I'm having an issue aiming a hitscan shot that has bullet penetration. Due to the offset of the camera and gun, if I shoot at 3 enemies lined up in a row, the angle from the gun will often only hit the first one (where my camera is aiming) but go off to the side and miss the other 2. I also tried doing a trace with overlaps and then finding the last target in the line instead, which gives me more consistent hits on multiple targets, but can sometimes miss the first thing in the line, which is what I'm actually aiming at, so I'm not sure which approach is better.
Edit: lmk if there's a better channel to post this in

[sweet isle]

Morning all! Im new to this community, already appreciate any help anyone offers and i hope I can one day know enough to offer help to people!

I have a current issue though, i am trying to make a medieval stone wall that crumbles away as it is hit by catapult projectiles, i have used the destructible mesh tool but it makes the wall break away too easily into many fragments and it doesntt seem realistic, I want a system where the base of tthe wall will still be standing as its foundations are rooted in the ground when the top is damaged, currently the whole thing shatters into pieces after it receives enough damage

[spice ruin]

That may require multiple meshes.

[modest trench]

check out the chaos examples in the new ue5 content examples

that might help

[sweet isle]

Thanks so much for the response, the project is part of a game jam with another student and we're using ue4 for the project, most tutorials i see on chaos destruction says do not use it due to instability, or are they outdated now?

[modest trench]

I can't speak to its stability for this usecase

never really seen it done

whether it's good enough for your homework is another question

it's definitely a little scuffed still

[drowsy snow]

Also for the record, this is #ue4-general

[drowsy snow]

Here's what you want to do. Either fracture it with APEX, and/or spawn bunch of rock fragment from where the destruction occurs

Though I can't recall how to make the foundation works, might have to look back to my project when I'm back from running errands

[sweet isle]

Thanks a bunch for the response Makoto! ill be avoiding chaos for now just due to its unstable nature, I had the thought to despawn the wall on colission and spawn rubble, but how would i have it so only a certain area of the wall that took damage is the area that breaks? so the rest of the wall stays intact, so that with focus fire, the player could bust a hole in the wall to allow ground troops to walk through

[drowsy snow]

Well, I don't think Chaos in UE4 are in usable state anyway

As in having the same performance as PhysX in UE4

[sweet isle]

heres a reaaaaly rough example of the type of damage i want to be able to inficlit, and how the wall would remain standing after

the stars indicate holes

[drowsy snow]

Yeah, I had similar kind of destruction with PhysX going on, alas, I can't remember exactly how I set it up

[sweet isle]

ohhh this looks good! Many thanks!

[drowsy snow]

If I remember correctly I just have the walls to be one mesh and not enabling physics?

[sweet isle]

This actually seems a little beyond my skill level paha, and the tutorial states doing this with physics projectiles (which i intend to) causes heavy fps drops

Its not so much a "game jam" more me and a fellow student want to make something over the summer holidays, only im eager and started in easter, id like it to look polished, thats why i avoided just stacking boxes

[wet briar]

Anyone know how to fix that?

[trail socket]

Would you suggest a beginner game developer to use unreal engine?

[spice ruin]

Depends what your experience with programming is outside of game dev.

[trail socket]

Zero experience

[spice ruin]

Hmm.

I wouldn't start with game dev at all.

[trail socket]

Ok well I have some experience but it’s the motivation for me

I wanna learn unreal engine 4 but video tutorials don’t seem to work and the engine is running a bit slow on my computer

I don’t know where to start

[spice ruin]

What do you want to make?

[trail socket]

Well the genres I really love are rpgs and fighting games. Hence my love for final fantasy games and 2D traditional fighting games(I.e street fighter) 😅

[spice ruin]

Fighting game is probably easier.

But both are hard.

[trail socket]

What would you suggest I start with

[spice ruin]

Pong?!

🙂

[trail socket]

…

Screw it, I gotta start slow and build it up to something

[trail socket]

what is BP?

oh

[drowsy snow]

And yeah, as other have mentioned, if you have no game dev experience at all (not work experience), there are far easier engines for your desired genre.

RPG Maker barely involves coding on your side as a writer, and many people have made different combat systems for it (ATB, Tales like combat, or real time ala Mana series).

Unreal Engine is more of an empty canvas with lots of tools at your disposal, and can be overwhelming with someone with no game dev or even modding experience

[trail socket]

ah

what about unity?

[drowsy snow]

Same goes with Unity, Godot, CryEngine, GameMaker Studio, Clickteam Fusion, Construct, and other general purpose engines.

At least with RPG Maker you already have a working gameplay out of the box, so mostly you just have to worry about scripting stats, the stories, and world building

(personally I use RPG Maker more as a storyboard, just to test out how story flows)

[trail socket]

i dont have money for rpgmaker

hi,I,m begginer of unreal engine ,i created the rpg melee combat system ,i add the block system ,i have a question for you,can you tell how to add my blocking system to slow motion effect?plz tell me!

Thanks for you!

Though to be fair Unity also have fairly low system requirements and more learning resources than Godot

Would anyone be willing to help me? I am trying to get my character to sprint, it always give me an error instead and shuts down the game

if you search my name there are a bunch of screenshots above

[wheat hare]

hold shift

[sharp warren]

when i press shift, as it is binned to sprint, the play shuts down

[wheat hare]

check what else it's bound to

[sharp warren]

nothing

says its in an infinite loop

But its all connected to an end
