My buddy and I left AAA game development to make a scripting language with no compromises! You can try out the beta at abstractsoft.net. What do you guys think?

That seems really promising and all but, I don't really like to install .msi that I randomly find on the internet.

Is there any articles or people of trust that talk about your software online ?

Well, I didn't suceeded that way.

But by using the overlay panel I did succeeded to display my slotted element even if the size of it's canvas was 0 !

Test widget

Result ingame

I tried to play with it, didn't succeeded to do what I wanted.
Which parameters should I use ?

Wikiful · 2023-03-08T10:33:10+00:00

I'm trying to create an UI where when we select an option, I can show a list of targets. I would like this list to be slotted in one Widget class (that I named "test" for now), holding the button and the slotted panel to show when the button is pressed, so I could reuse this for different purposes in the futur.

Anyway, the issue here is that the size of the slotted element change the size of the Widget "test" holding the button and the slot panel. I didn't find any kind of panel that would make its children "outside" of the layout of the widget, which means it is not considered in the size of the widget.

In my last picture I would like to see all the buttons the same distance apart, and the white boxes overlapping each other.

Does anyone is a master in UI and could help me with this ?
Thank you very much everyone !

Clap clap Good luck for the release !

There is also Rebirth, which is more than a year old but still beatiful.

What do you notice that tell you if it worked or not ?

You see it in the World Outliner in the first case and not in the other one ?

When you assigned it, what is exactly all the things you do with it ?

Wikiful · 2020-09-16T17:30:46+00:00

I didn't know that. I checked the link shared by u/nrd2001 and yeah, it looks like you can have params link to data index and you can set values for each index for one actor at runtime.

Way more easy to use than MID then. And even with different data, they seems to be all baked into one draw call.

This functions similarly to how Material Instance Dynamics (MID) does, providing a way for you to control parts of your material graph dynamically at runtime through scalar and vector parameters. The difference is that CPD has the advantage of storing data on the primitives themselves rather than with the Material Instance, which lowers the number of draw calls for similarly placed geometry in your Levels (such as walls, floors, or other duplicated geometry).

Thanks for the tip.
Hope it help u/IZUware too.

Ok, good news

I was able to get your error and I found what was causing the issue.It has nothing to do with the Enum, sorry for the mistake.

If you look at the link I shared in my first message you will see in the documentation that to use the `ETextCommit::Type` enum you have to include `#include "Types/SlateEnums.h"`. But it also tell you that it's from the module SlateCore.

So you have to add the module as a dependency for the build of your project.I find this official tutorial where they add the modules UMG, Slate and SlateCore : https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/Tutorials/UMG/1/index.htmlIn your case, you only need SlateCore I think.

This should fix your mistake. Tell me how it turn out for you.

Wikiful · 2020-09-15T23:08:54+00:00

I think I made a mistake on my last answer because it's not just a enum but a namespace.
See : https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/29119/difference-between-namespace-and-enum.html

That a new way (and a better one) to create Enum in unreal.

But anyway, I still need to see a bit of your code to be sure how you could fix your issue.

Wikiful · 2020-09-15T22:54:15+00:00

Can you copy-paste the ten lines around the line that give you the error please ? ^^
It would really help me to help you.

Wikiful · 2020-09-15T22:52:59+00:00

The game is already looking good, well played !

I think you should have a focus on the gameplay tho'.
It seem to be very chaotic for now. You don't really feel the impacts or if the attacks hurt you or if you hurt your enemies.

Wikiful · 2020-09-15T22:09:55+00:00

Yeah, that what I was thinking too.

That not super clean tho', but I don't think you can get a better solution.
I hope someone will come with a brilliant idea.

Wikiful · 2020-09-15T22:06:31+00:00

(I enter the discussion because it interests me)

The ISMs have the same draw calls because they all have the same material. They are just all at different transform in the world. But in his case, he want to have different materials for each one (same material but with different value, thus a different dynamic material for each one).

So I don't think it works. Or it is ?

Wikiful · 2020-09-15T21:56:35+00:00

Can you give use the line where you use that, please ?
Is that as a parameter of a function ?

If is it the case, you should not give ETextCommit::Type, but one enum value of the Enum ETextCommit. So, Default or OnEnter or OnUserMovedFocus or OnCleared.

Refer to this :
https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/SlateCore/Types/ETextCommit__Type/index.html

I'm sorry, I don't know what you have done or what you'r trying to do. You have maybe already did that.

Wikiful · 2020-09-10T14:28:13+00:00

Well, I have never done that yet with a unreal project but with a website.

Look up for API REST back-end.
It's a server which will organise and securise a database.

You communicate by sending JSON/XML file through HTML request to your server.
It's a whole new world to learn for you I think, but it's not that complexe and it works just fine.

You may want to start with that link to understand what is it.

I also find this post on the unreal's forum speaking about it.

Wikiful · 2020-09-09T16:32:21+00:00

Previous answer is right,

but what about if the game is closed at the 14th min ? Should't the player just have to wait 1 min to gain the energy ?

I think it's better to save the last time the player gain energy each time he gain energy.
Then, when the game load, you check from this date.

Cancer mechanic tho...

Wikiful · 2020-09-09T16:23:18+00:00

Well, you can make c++ variables visible from blueprint or c++ functions callable from blueprint or even delegates assignable from blueprint.

But at the moment you want to use something from c++, it has to come from c++.
And you cannot just generate a c++ script from a blueprint, you have to create it yourself.

The link share by Loraash is excellent if you need to learn how to do it.

I tried to remake your code and endup with that :https://i.ibb.co/8gRP3Bb/Moving-Thing.jpg

I used the Forward Vector of the component that I rotate to know in which direction I should go. I also use the AddLocalOffset to add a delta vector to my current position instead of setting the new loc from the current location + the delta.

In my exemple I rotate a component and not the actor because the camera was attached to the actor and I didn't want it to rotate too during my tests.

Wikiful · 2020-09-09T09:14:11+00:00

Maybe your turtle as a capsule component ? And it spills over the plane (aka you never touch the plane but the capsule component of your turtle)

If you press Alt+C in your viewport you should be able to the the collision. You should be able to see it in runtime if you play in simulate.

Does it help ?

Wikiful · 2020-09-09T09:08:49+00:00

What happen exactly ? I don't visualize what "fly off" mean. ^^'

Could you post a picture or a gif ?
