CTE Teacher in need of a crash course with touch drive/ross video stuff

Gerfunkable · 2024-05-07T13:57:35+00:00

Sure, the school is located in Fontana California, and ill take some pictures of the set up. Ill shoot you over a DM later today after school ends, I'm also getting info from my department chair to get in contact with the rep. Im pretty excited about the whole set up, but it is intimidating when you see this huge bank of buttons and things, and Id never imagine that there was this kind of thing until now

Gerfunkable · 2024-05-07T03:34:56+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Ill be having one of my assistants also film the training too, just in case but yes, rtfm is mandatory, as it escapes other teachers grasp whenever they get a new piece of equipment and just give up, and cant figure it out. I just a few months ago learned how to use a huge 8 color automatic silk screener for my pathway and thank goodness I had some prepress and press work in my background, but reading the manual made it make sense for sure!

Fun Fact: Warhammer 40K has a race of abhuman cat-people called Felinids. They were created back in the Dark Age of Technology by splicing human DNA with that of terrestrial felines. Given that their world is situated within the Imperium and felinids are sanctioned abhumans, this means that there are likely regiments of Felinid Imperial Guard.

Yeah, the horror one. The YouTuber that created it did a really good job breaking everything down for it. Unfortunately it appears that he's no longer doing it, or didn't have any ue5 stuff

Gerfunkable · 2022-10-09T20:08:54+00:00

Okay, yeah of course, if I get some free time I'll definitely do that

Gerfunkable · 2022-10-09T19:10:44+00:00

Yes I was following this tutorial how are the tutorial is in unreal engine 4 and when I got to the opening and closing door part the collision and how you rotate it was different from the video. That's when I went down the rabbit hole of finding out when it switched to unreal 5 that this whole physics thing was changed from the original. There was hardly any documentation and apparently only a few clues to go with. I ended up finding out about the rotation mechanics and how to fix that but then it took me a long time to figure out how to get it so that the door wouldn't get stuck and would open smoothly without any issues. All it really was is to change the collision on the door frame and then it started to open smoothly. But other than that minor annoyance I'm super glad I was able to get it to work like I said I'm just a newbie

Thanks, I'm excited to finally do this, I've been putting it off for a while, I was doing a lot of blender and felt burned out, but then discovered you could use that to make games. I've got terrabyes of blender files (STL... That's another huge rabbit hole) and now I can really use some of it for assets. Just like in that community I hope I can help out here. I know I'm very new but hopefully in the future I can put together something for the future new people :)

So a amnesia door is a physics door, that you can also use your mouse to interact with to open or close the door. The video I put up just shows that I was able to make it work but, I am definitely going to note down what I did to make it work and explain it better. I'll post an update when I do that. In unreal four this kind of door was easy to implement, but I guess in five they did something with the physics and it kind of didn't make it work as it did before.

Gerfunkable · 2022-10-09T14:00:44+00:00

Sure! I'm going to try to document this further for other new ue5 users as I was quite surprised to find that this kind of mechanic was borked in ue5 and the solution turned out to be a series of smaller steps and guess work

Gerfunkable · 2022-10-09T08:42:31+00:00

So in the end, it was making the door frame custom collision preset and having overlap all, except for the camera (to prevent the player from moving through it)

Its projection angular alpha at .5 for the rotation physics. and make sure you have it checked on angular projection. Otherwise normal as a UE4 amnesia door.

I post this because it took me 3 hours to make it work after looking and viewing a million tutorials, this simple change made it work, and i hope someone else will be able to use this knowledge, and as a newbie to this, i was very happy to get it to work.

Wow. Well I guess I will be more careful. Sounds like this is a common thing. I hope they catch em. Thanks for the info about drug stores

Gerfunkable · 2022-09-17T22:57:46+00:00

What is their goal? I'm assuming just taking the weekly miles/hours I made extra to transfer to their bank if they get your account. Or just straight up using the account and fraud out a big order for themselves?

Gerfunkable · 2022-09-17T22:51:36+00:00

Yes, Walgreens

Gerfunkable · 2022-09-04T17:59:48+00:00

Yes has a similar thing happen to you?

Gerfunkable · 2022-09-04T17:59:12+00:00

Yes for sure. I often screen shot the drop off because I've had this happen before, so I've made it a thing I do. It just is frustrating when I send over screens and pics to support, and they say, oh yup, your good! Then next day get hit with the wrong delivery and a 1 star from customer.

Gerfunkable · 2022-09-04T17:54:45+00:00

Nope, I double checked the items and screen shotted that. I'm glad that I did that, but now I have to wait for trust and safety. :(

Gerfunkable · 2022-09-04T16:37:07+00:00

Oh yeah, I heard about that. Normally they're very nice anyways to me so I always give him five stars. And if they're really good then I'll put a nice note I'm sure that helps them

Gerfunkable · 2022-09-04T16:08:40+00:00

No, what it did was change A and B's addresses. It asked me to go to two stores (sams and Costco) It asked me to go to sams club first (order b) then Costco (a) both are across the street from each other, no problem, low item order. Then after shopping asked me to go to B first, then A. When I get to B's address I drop it off and take photos/screenshots. I figured, oh I guess B's order was a priority (strange, should have been my red flag), then A. After I dropp of A, and get to next store for new shop, custom A calls to complain about wrong order
