hi guys, I am following a tutorial on Horse riding by Code Like Me, ep.3 and have run into two problems, 1: the player turns where the camera is facing, 2: the horse floats into the air and when i get off, the horse is still posessed. Any help would be much appreciated!

grim ore
#

ok, now click on the whatever is holding your buttons

#

so we can see the details for how its set up

#

i am guessing you have it in fixed positions, not anchored

vocal night
grim ore

I am guessing your widget switcher is holding your buttons?

vocal night

#

chances are you need visual studio installed and properly working for UE in order to package with that plugin

sick crane
#

Hmm ok

#

And there is no way to package without Visual Studio

grim ore
#

can't really say, but that log seems to indicate it wants VS installed to package. Does the dev say anything for the item?

sick crane
#

not that I see

grim ore
#

well you may need to install it

I'm rotating a character 180 degrees with an FInterp To, but the character rotates away from the camara, is there a way for me to control which direction the character rotates towards so I can make it rotate towards the camera instead?

try packaging again, it should find VS and get past that error. if it doesnt you will get another error

ok

dreamy zenith
#

my character is floating whenever i use animations, any tips?

grim ore
#

yep and at the end it says .NET Framework SDK at 4.6.0 or higher.

grim ore
#

did you restart the editor and windows between trying?

sick crane
#

I closed ue4 and rebooted it

grim ore
#

I would install the 4.8 SDK then to be safe

#

that should cover you on most bases

#

you dont have the 3.1 core runtime but I dont know if it needs that to pacakge (you will find out)

#

ok

btw ty tons for helping me

Hi! What could be causing one of my actors to be set to "Replicates" by default? I see "Replicates" is already true at the very beginning of BeginPlay. I checked "Component replicated" on the different actor components and it seems off everywhere. I also couldn't find any SetReplicates(true) nodes on this actor so I'm a bit confused by what could be causing this
edit: maybe VR motion controllers are replicated by default? it happens with the motion controller actor

sup guys

#

this may really be a dumb question, but why do people use ue4 if there is ue5 ?

spice ruin
#

People already have projects using ue4 and don't want to convert them.

#

They feel ue5 either lacks polish or is too resource heavy

#

UE4 is a more matured engine.

Etc.

Does anybody know a way to copy asset reference without it's class and type?

drifting geode
#

ok looks like not only the ground but also the BG was set to translucent and UE did not like that...

real heath
#

Ahh yes. I was about to suggest bounds scale, but yeah translucency sorting is definitely problematic

#

If you wanted them both as translucent (please don't) I'd advise breaking up the larger some into quarters or something so sorting works better

#

Some = dome*

drifting geode
#

you think combining into one object with two materials would also work?

real heath
#

Not guaranteed, no. I think you can set materials to have a sort priority which would work.

#

It's all about the order in which things are drawn

#

Translucency is a giant hack in rasterized rendering

#

It has to take shortcuts to figure out how to draw things back to front. The best thing to do is make sure bounding boxes are small and sane and don't overlap in strange ways

#

You'll often see the one side of windows always draw over the other side windows in cars as an example.

#

Best thing to do is split those meshes out

Has he just created those variables? Looks like. You should see a variables section on the bottom left of your window

#

Create them there as your tutorial did

vocal night

he made it before the tut and just showed it 😦

The use lan one looks to just be a Boolean variable, which you can create in the dottom left of your window

Other than that you might wanna start with an intro to blueprints course

The most experience I have is writing stories and designing a card game.

I have zero funding, other than any money I put into it my self.

As for a team, its just me, there was going to be others but things didn't as planned, along with that I dont own any severs.

And for solid long term plan for content, I have the world written out in the ways I want it, im still creating the classes and races, but all of this is on paper.

I'm not a coder, my artwork basic, and I have no knowledge of 3d modeling.

And yet I still want to create this world even if its a life project, the world needs to be made.

And I've been working on this game for i think 3 or 4 years now, maybe more, who knows, I stopped keeping count, and don't get me wrong I tried building the game, but the furthest I've ever gotten is a log cabin with no door, because I couldn't figure out how to program a door to open and close

Hi everyone, I'm an almost architecture graduate and concept artist. Fairly new to Unreal Engine (just trying things around and trying to implement it to my work) and I'm trying to do something specific but I can't seem to find a good tutorial that covers it. I'll explain

#

I have this 3D model I made of a wooden door and I was trying to texture it in Unreal. Thing is I need some of the lines of my texture to go horizontally on the model and some of the lines to go vertically. Any advice on how that can be made in Unreal?

unknown.png
drowsy snow
#

So the idea is to have a wood texture flowing in a straight direction, then have your UV islands aligned to your desired mapping.

inner bay
#

Maybe I've been unwrapping it wrong then? I had two meshes. One for the horizontal parts and one for the vertical ones. When I unwrapped each in Blender they worked but when I exported it to unreal (as an obj) it exported as one mesh. So the texture went in only one direction

#

Just before taking that screen cap I joined them for easier resizing and was about to separate them again... Guess I should try not being lazy and unwrapping it properly then XD

Not sure if it's in UE4.x but in UE5 you can assign / create material groups to selected faces, in the Modelling Mode.

I have a question about collisions! is there a way to have the collision be automaticly setup on import? So I dont have to go into the asset assign the mesh itself as the complex collision and enable use complex as simple?

Yeah, I think you create a second mesh called UCX_meshname in your modelling program, and then that becomes your collision mesh in unreal

The Absolute World Position node will allow the material to display the same no matter the location or scale of the objects it's on. It will take some fiddling with to get the scale right. I believe it's also pretty performance heavy.

blueprint users are programmers

#

its not the language you code in that makes you a coder

its the understanding of the logic that does

I would say its less gatekeeping and more blueprints being used by designers then programmers in an industry sense

#

Yes its programming, but its used by designers a lot

Also could help communications between designers and programmers.

pure c++ coders are really valueable to have

blueprints can do ALOT and they got really gud over time.

#

always remember: players cannot see how you coded a thing...

#

the endresult is king

drowsy snow
#

Also I think of C++ making BP superpower

real heath
#

Ok, I'm not sure I ever made that point when I said the point of blueprints was to stop the whole team waiting on programmers (implying the programming team) to do things for them when answering who typically owns an animbp

drowsy snow
#

There are few things BP does better than Unreal C++, one of them is asset referencing.

spice ruin
#

Animation is a whole lot easier too.

static viper
#

and UI...

spice ruin
#

But that's because of the tools that come with BP/UE, not because of BP itself.

not for ui

watch out setting it too low, it will mess up other parts of the editor like the icons, rendering certain things, and selecting things

Thanks, Mathew. My main concern is that changing it seems to have no effect at all. The camera is still clipping at the same distance.

grim ore
#

here is 10 clip

#

and in the same spot 0.1 clip

#

so it for me atleast appears to be good

#

seems to work fine in the editor as well, that was in play above

Thanks for taking the time to test that. 🙂 Something must be wrong in my engine. I'll keep investigating. 🔍

But for some reason it won't let me build lighting

whats the error for build lighting?

that's all I get after building the lighting

and this stays

Hehe

rugged fjord
#

That's what I'm trying to do

grim ore
#

usually swarm will open up in your task manager and you can open it to look at the log

drowsy snow
#

Also trees usually have some WPO to signify wind sway

#

Which goes against the baked lighting

grim ore
#

I get the same warnings but my lighting still builds

#

so you might have something altering your lighting after building

rugged fjord
#

give it a minute or two

#

It's collecting the scene

grim ore
#

look for the swarm interface

unknown.png
#

you can open it and look at the log while it builds

rugged fjord
grim ore
#

yep log on the top left

yeah

if it fails or completes you can see it

It's still working tho

for now

rugged fjord
#

it's almost done exporting the scene

rugged fjord
#

...

#

when it reaches the end

#

it extends the thing

#

there are

#

some errors

grim ore
#

the first errors are fine, ignorable

#

the last ones are the actual issue

#

so whatever you are using for foliage is not happy, it might not be compatible

gray tundra
#

Mathew, the plot thickens with the clip plane.

While the value in project settings does have an effect on the regular perspective camera in a level in editor, it's when I enter a shot that the same camera in the editor stops responding to changes in the value.

Edit/Answer: There is a clip value in the sequencer that effects the camera in question.

Im trying to recreate the Doom status bar with the head, but Im having troubling with the function in my CharacterBP. Im trying to make a function to call a certain flipbook animation when the character health is at a certain value. Im just not sure what to call exactly off of my branch when the condition is met.

fierce tulip
#

your initial question made it sound like a #graphics issue, but now it sounds like a #blueprint thing.

arctic verge
#

ahh ok. sorry about that. Im using a flipbook animation for the status bar. I should have been more specific, sorry about that.

fierce tulip
#

that does not make it any clearer.

#

either the flipbook has issues, or the blueprint, or both :p

arctic verge
#

Its probably both and me lol sorry. Still new to unreal and Im just teaching myself off google and youtube.

fierce tulip
#

flipbook-wise --assuming its set up in a material-- should generally only need either a normalized 0-1 value or X value (where X is the amount of frames), and should get this value trough code when conditions change.
<< only does graphics, doesnt code much.

#

for the rest, someone smartypantser might need to look at the blueprint.

I'm having trouble with the FBX export option. The materials seem to be way off from the mesh asset in Unreal. If I open it there and check the materials using isolate, they're all exactly what I expect, but after exporting as FBX, they're all wrong. Random bits of vertices seem to have completely arbitrary materials assigned to them. Is there any way I can get a UE4 mesh as something I can open in a 3D modelling software with all the sub-meshes intact?

Hello! I would like to ask a question (Forgive my poor English)
Im trying to use Google API that can make input audio into text to make a shooting game in UE4(.26) with python. The scripts I used are "Python Editor Script Plugin" and "Sequencer Scripting"

the whole game content is like:

UE4
Python
Google API(So, I run google API on Python)

The question is that Somehow it seems like that Python code will use all the CPU and freeze the whole UE4. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Im trying to run Python via UMG from UE4 rn.

This is the Python code below


r = sr.Recognizer()
mic = sr.Microphone()
# ↑音声認識に必要なオブジェクトを作成

while True:
    print("Say something ...")

    with mic as source:
        r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source)  # 雑音対策
        audio = r.listen(source)

    print("Now to recognize it...")

    try:
        text = r.recognize_google(audio, language='ja-JP')
        print(text)

        # "ストップ" と言ったら音声認識を止める
        if r.recognize_google(audio, language='ja-JP') == "うんこ":
            print("end")
            break

    # 以下は認識できなかったときに止まらないように。
    except sr.UnknownValueError:
        print("could not understand audio")
    except sr.RequestError as e:
        print(
            "Could not request results from Google Speech Recognition service; {0}".format(e))

Use LandscapeCoords to adjust the UV

multiply the tex coord, if you use a scalar parameter you can use an instance of your material which lets you change the value and you see the results change before your very eyes.

anybody have issues with ue4 projects not capturing mouse input when you alt tab back into the game? happens to me in editor and in packaged builds

#

i have to toggle SetInputMode to fix it

#

it's actually specifically when we click on the game window to focus it after alt tabbing

#

using alt tab to refocus does recapture the mouse

brisk pollen
#

okay, our ingame hud is set to visible and is capturing that mouse click, even though the input mode is set to game only

#

that prevents the window from recapturing mouse input

if i make our hud widget non hit testable the issue goes away..

Hey guys, in trying to spawn an actor on the player when I click on that actor using the mouse in game(using the clickable interface). So far I've been able to get it to spawn but I need to remove the rotating component from the actor and scale it to fit the player after spawning

#

Can anyone guide me on the steps to follow? Either in C++ or blueprint

versed lion
#

@glacial cairn what do you mean by rotating component? the rotating movement component?

#

@glacial cairn You can always set the rotation rate to 0, about the scale you can change the scale in the transform option

Screenshot_17.png
#

instead of setting the rotation scale to 0 you can also do this:

sda1.png sda2.png
#

the stopmoving event is in the actor it self @glacial cairn

hope it helps 🙂

anyone know how to flip a texture in a material?

#

like flip horizontally

#

pretty sure I just need to reverse the U or V coordinates but not sure how to do that

#

if I use a multiply node and multiply it by -1 it flips it vertically, but I can't figure out how to get it to do horizontally instead

#

is there a way to break the UVs out into two scalars and then later recombine them?

glacial cairn
azure vault
#

ah, if i use the AppendVector node and feed that two scalars I can use the multiply node and it multiplies the U and V by the different scalar values

@echo gyrodid you change the near clip plane for your project?

echo gyro
#

that has nothing to do with it

#

the ideea is that an whole file got deleted

grim ore
#

if you did not change the near clip plane, and your problem is a deleted file, you need to revert to an older version of your project using your backup system

echo gyro
#

but how?

spice ruin
#

Tried your recycle bin?

grim ore

do you have a backup system set up? if not you can't

i think disasterrecovery plugin?

can i restore the whole project?

grim ore
#

we dont know, can you? we dont know how you deleted it.

echo gyro
#

i basically deleted the file from unreal engine

Heyhey, guys! :] I'd have a quick question - I'm trying to create a more or less physically correct material for a holographic foil effect and for that I need the light source angle (which I'd then use with a hue shift). Fortunately there's a node for that - but how exactly does it work? What node do I have to plug into the light position? I looked through all the Coordinate nodes and couldn't find anything that'd fit. I looked for tutorials on the matter already but there doesn't really seem to be anything available, either. :<

I imagine you would need to pass it through BP or so?

As a Vector Parameter

For example LightPositionParameter

In the BP create a DynamicMatInst and pass the ActorLocation into LightPositionParameter

That ofc plugs into Light Position

I loaded my project and this is what I see for the level, all of my materials and models are there but the level itself does not show up.

#

it is a project from a year or so ago

sage mauve
#

Cause it is set to default

#

You most likely had deleted your project files

candid horizon
#

I don't think I would do that , I would have no reason to do that. I put my files on a external HDD

sage mauve
#

if you only have 1 level which this

#

that means you have deleted the level you worked on

#

as this is not a bug

candid horizon
#

I have other areas, I don't think I would delete any project

sage mauve
#

Check your skyview outliner

#

are there object is in which is not viewable in your screen?

and check all levels

#

you might have created a new level

#

or else had switched to a new level

Because what you would generally do is use a platform like steam to sell the game, and use dedicated servers like AWS to host the servers for people to join

Hi all!
I am using the text 3D plugin and want to put a material with texture on the front material. the problem is that the UV mapping of each letter is different and I didn't find any way to control it by each letter only in general to the entire text field. Anyone have any idea how to solve this?

#

I'm trying to understand everything, I'm new to c++

#

Well I'm quite experimental with blueprints, but they gave me this solution code for physics, but since I would like to publish more variables, but since they have these errors I have no idea of a solution

#

hot reloading is? I don't remember what it is

#

Ok, I'm adjusting the live coding but I don't know where to start, if you mean the errors I have when making the play game? none because what I'm looking for is to make more variables public, but with those errors in c++ I can't do anything

#

I'm going to see, I'm adjusting the live coding first

Hi, I asked this question in the vr-ar section as well, but I don't think that channel gets much traffic.

UE4.27 Valve Index question here; I'm having trouble finding any resources regarding getting finger tracking to work. According to Valve people, UE4.25+ versions have the SteamVR input plugins integrated, but I can't find any way to access these inputs. The VR template doesn't really help, I don't actually start with the VR Mannequin hands for some reason.

#

I don't know where to start... what can I do? Do you have a link to a tutorial where to start this live coding or to be able to solve all that? and sorry to bother

#

ready, but when I open the .h it can't compile that option doesn't come out

#

the project right? .sln

#

Well, I'm sorry I don't understand, I already opened it, what else should I do?

Is there any advantage of using UE4 over UE5 currently? Because I'm beginner and learning the Unreal Engine 5 with my old PC (12 gb ram). I don't care high end graphics at the moment. I'm thinking of installing UE4 if it offers more features with less demanding system.
For example;

  • Blueprint nativization doesn't exist in UE5, does it exist in UE4?
  • When I created project with C++, Visual Studio opened and started to use very high RAM. Would using UE4 help?
autumn flame
#

Not much changes workflow wise, but at this point you can start with UE5 since you'll end up using it anyways eventually

#

Just disable stuff like Lumen and VSM

orchid oyster
#

I did those. How about blueprint nativization?

#

Nevermind, probably it's too early for me to think about that.

oak patio
#

Blueprint nativisation isnt worth using anyway

#

Theres a reason it was removed

autumn flame
#

Yeah, not worth

#

If something gets heavy, just move it to C++

#

Just don't worry too much about things as you are learning

What would be the best way to go about creating an upgradeable parking lot (Upgrades include more spaces and a nicer looking lot) with the ability for AI to drive onto?

oak patio
#

could always swap put meshes with "markers" for parking spots

bitter valve
#

Oh, wait nevermind. I overthought this again. Ill just watch a quick tutorial I found on AI parking, then change the spots based on the current mesh level. Thanks

oak patio
#

there will not be any i doubt

#

that is a very specific need

#

as i said you will need to mark parking spots and generate a pth for the cars to follow

Hey, I was using Unreal 5 for 7-8 months to make cinematics. Now I'm interested in making a WebXR/VR experience, I was recommended unity as it still supports HTML5/WebGL.
After using Unity for 1-2 weeks I'm completely over it, guides are all out of date, the visual scripting sucks compared to Unreal ,etc etc etc.
Could anyone advise me on the pros and cons of using an older Unreal 4 version compared to an up-to-date Unity?

Is anyone familiar with UT4X Converter? Or the general process of converting maps from UE2 to UE4?

Long story short I have done this successfully for one project but repeating the same process for another project is giving me a recurring issue where brushes textures are not being assigned from the t3d data even though the directories are correct.

The annoying thing is I had the same problem with the previous project, but never worked out what was causing it, it literally feels like Unreal decides to load them in on some days and not on others, though it's more likely that a single line of the T3D data is off somewhere but I can't track down where.

Also check the vertex normal orientations - some faces might be flipped. If you can see them from the inside but not the outside, they're inverted

is there any way to do animation sequences without resorting to the state machine thing? The amount of connections necessary if I do that grows pretty quickly

I was able to put this together. It works but just goes from Empty to Full. I want it to increase like its filling up as im holding the accelerator and not instantly

try multiply by 0.1 idk

minimum and maximum value of the bar

so apparently I should've used integer instead of float as my throttle variable with a float/float divide on get forward speed

I have a problem with merge Actors, haven't found a solution yet:
I have a few models that have several UV and texure sets, they import perfectly into the engine, but when I try to merge them, the result is... bad.
it exports all the texture sets (despite me enabling merge materials box)

#

there's also a merged material, but none of the UVs fits it

#

and it's weird, because it worked once previously.

@sick crane What you want to do is use the different view modes in your scene. To check for things like shader complexity, Too many triangles on meshes, Lighting complexity etc
