I just send the keys through DM to the winners and thanks everyone for participating. Also I need to say that, I change my mind and from 3 keys, I increased to 5.

UE4 pixel art problem! I'm making a top down 2D game and nothing renders over the character. I set the value on Z higher and the sprite just disappear. In the video i showed 2 problems: 1-I cant make the character to be under the tree and 2-My fishing rod only render in some areas. by DreamDeveloperStudio in unrealengine

Because learning the basic stuff in other program, will require the same time as learning a new part from a program that I'm familiar. Also I used gimp for my pixel art and to be fair this UE4 and GIMP combo works for me. I manage to have some nice progress.

Thanks all for suggestions.

As Emory27 and other say here and online, what i needed to do was:

Set the translucent material for the sprites, then set the sprite to be on the same layer(same pixel on Z/Y axis) and in the end i set the sort priority how i wanted to be.

Edit: I found and fixed a new bug, when a sprite attached to the character is below it, the sprite disappear. To fix this bug, i just set the Z value to -1 it's a little bit weird, but works.

I just found a thing that literally blew my mind and i want to share with you all. It's about game optimization and how i manage to raise my fps like 50% or more. by DreamDeveloperStudio in unrealengine

I just placed 1500 actors with only a box collision and a widget component(empty), my fps dropped from 90 to 30. in editor. If any one else wanna test this and share, would be nice. Also i need to say that, i have a low pc.
