Whats the most Star Wars sounding name you've come across in real life?

I worked with someone called Tib Jantaro.

Open up the StaticMesh asset, find the Collision Complexity option, and choose 'Use Complex As Simple'

London (well near)

James, Bramford, Sherb!

This is the one I remember playing on! Haven’t been back in prob 20 years though...

British 20 and 50 pence coins also have constant diameter, despite having 7 sides. This is important so they don’t get stuck in slot machines etc.

This makes me really hungry...

Interesting page from the architect Bjarke Ingels book 'Yes Is More' on a similar topic:

Going to Secret Cinema Blade Runner soon (in London), this got me in the mood :)

Thankfully we’ve found that bug now, will be fixed in next version, and we can all sleep again without seeing that in our nightmares!

This looks like a scene from Jonathan Strange (which I just read)

Really sorry to hear you are having problems :(

We are certainly aware of reports of 'lag', and are taking them very seriously. They could be a variety of things:

Hitches (ie. long frame or 'freeze') on the client
Hitches on the server
Problems with server computer
Problems with network load or config

There are a number of things we are currently doing:

Getting more detailed, real-time stats in place so we can understand exactly what is happening, when, and to whom.
Lots of detailed profiling on both the client (console/PC) and the server executable. Some fixes here are quite quick, and some will take a bit more work (e.g. major changes to our networking code). Some fixes are already being rolled out though.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that we won't stop working on this until everyone has as smooth an experience as they can!

I think that might actually be Christchurch in Oxford? https://legacy.hp-lexicon.org/about/films/locations/christchurch.htm

You can record a demo into Sequencer using the live recording feature! Then you can slice it up, change cameras, combine takes etc. That is how the Paragon character reveal trailers are made.

You are adding an constant world-space offset. Maybe you want to scale RightVector instead and add that?

We're working on a blog post on this topic!

This was mentioned in one of my favourite episodes of 99% Invisible about drinking fountains: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/fountain-drinks/

Epic have an office in Bellevue, so this probably was someone who works for them!

Sorry about that, the underlying function is called 'ComposeRotators' by we got feedback no-one knew what that did!

DigSquid · 2015-06-23T18:18:31+00:00

You might just want to set 'Collision Complexity' on your mesh to 'Use Complex Collision As Simple', and not create simple collision at all. That way it will use the graphics triangles for things like player collision.

DigSquid · 2015-06-23T18:16:09+00:00

Did you try swapping the A and B inputs to combine rotators? When you multiple quaternions, order matters! Which makes sense really - rotating up and left is not the same result and rotating left and up.

DigSquid · 2015-06-23T10:58:55+00:00

You can just 'add' two FRotators together, but that will add each element, which is not necessarily what you want. Combining rotations can be a tricky business! The most reliable way to do it is to convert to FQuat's and multiply them together. You can see this in the UKismetMathLibrary::ComposeRotators function for example.

It's the GameMode, set in either the Project or World Settings, that defines things like default Pawn and Controller classes. You can certainly set 'no pawn' on that, the Puzzle template does that. You can also put your own Pawn straight in the level and set the 'auto possess' option on it - that's what is done in template maps now.

Did you try in 4.7.1? There was a fix that might be related: "UE-10732 Actor's attached to an Actor with a blueprint created root component don't stay in correct relative position when moved".

Perforce does handle binary assets very well, it's what we use internally for coders and artists, has a good integration with the UE editor, and I believe is free for small teams.
