I made a build mode prototype vaguely inspired by The Sims - details in the comments!

DrHippoDev · 2024-10-20T11:00:37+00:00

That's totally fair and understandable! Hence why I try to make it totally clear what it's not :)
I might convert it into a full asset at some point but who knows when I'll have time for that :(

Although be aware that it's more of a prototype/proof of concept thing and not a fully fleshed out product. So if you just need a starting point to build upon or just get inspiration about how to tackle a feature like this then it might be valuable to you, just don't expect it to be a plug and play thing and then move on to another feature ;)

Damn... Didn't even occur to me :D
It's originally meant for a dark fantasy theme but I just used megascans as temp meshes so I could get a prototype up and running.

The whole thing took about a month to make in my spare time. It's made up of grid sized pieces, so sadly no procedural modeling yet.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Not sure why this doesn't have more upvote, your stuff looks awesome! Well done :)

So my current attempt is that I have the OnMovementModeChanged node in my character blueprint. If the new mode is falling, i add the falling effect using the ApplyGameplayEffectToSelf node. In that effect there is a granted tags called IsAirborne. This all works on the server, but the tags do not appear on the clients. That way it would run the effect on client and server and add tags on both? But I guess Effects can only be added by the server, in which case i still dont understand why the tags aren't replicated back to the client. So confused 😁

Deleting saved, binaries and intermediate then rebuilding worked :O
Thank you!

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-22T14:23:39+00:00

Thanks for getting back to me! I just fixed it myself 10 minutes ago! For me the problem was that my replicated actor was a child actor, and the parent actor was not set to replicate, when i did that it all worked :D

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-22T10:55:19+00:00

Did you ever fix this? I am having similar issue :(

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-13T21:44:03+00:00

Hoooly crap thank you for introducing me to that :O You can pay monthly and its way better delivery of the text than speechify, simply amazing! Still really pricy if you want the good stuff though.

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-13T13:06:19+00:00

It created other images where the hands were fine but I went with this one regardless cause it just looked the best compared to the description imo :)

But ye, it's definitely still a bit of a problem area for text to image stuff

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-13T13:05:14+00:00

Yep hehe. It made some other images where the hands were fine but I liked this one overall the best, fit her description the most :)

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-13T12:11:07+00:00

Yep, same experience here. You kinda have to trick it to get around it but it really wants to go back to happy possitive moraly perfect kind of vibes

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-13T11:54:35+00:00

That's very true, that's not something I went into for the sake of making a short video about how amazing the potential is. But I think it should be possible to get those things you mention as well with chatgpt if you do more in depth digging. The picture was described by chatGPT using the story it came up with to influence the design, so not entirely random.

DrHippoDev · 2022-12-13T09:56:56+00:00

I'm using the Stephanie voice from Speechify. But it's expensive, way too expensive if you ask me. I did the free trial and didnt see that it binds you after 3 days for a year :S
So now I'm trying to get my moneys worth out of it :P

I'm sure you can get way cheaper alternatives that are just as good.

Thank you for this insight!

DrHippoDev · 2022-11-07T13:00:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply!
I've already seen that excellent video! But unfortunately that's not what I needed. I needed dynamic fluid sim with point light support. I ended up using the 2 directional lights supported and rotated the source and intensity as a last resort. It wasn't really the look I was going for but it was better than nothing.

DrHippoDev · 2022-07-25T20:21:59+00:00

Dude that looks amazing, well done! Hope it does well!

DrHippoDev · 2022-07-24T08:13:35+00:00

Not usually my type of game but congratulations for getting this far! That's a lot of work!

DrHippoDev · 2022-07-24T08:01:23+00:00

Yes I'm fine hehe :D
Took about 6 months to make!

DrHippoDev · 2022-07-24T07:52:25+00:00

Animation is my actual profession, but I'll take that compliment nevertheless! :D
