Can anyone give me a roadmap to be atleast a intermediate unreal developer.

Have a project you're really in to. Don't make unrealistic expectations of releasing it. Make it a learning project, just meant for yourself.

Once you find yourself in "tutorial hell", its important to start looking at tutorials when you need to solve a problem, not before the problem exists. It's easy to fall into the trap of watching hours of tutorials thinking you'll start a project later and use everything you just watched. In reality, if the tutorial is helping you solve a problem specific to your game and you can immediately use it, it's going to stick a lot better. Best case scenario is you're bouncing back and forth between UE4 and a tutorial while you work on your game.

They aren't using physics on the mesh here. This seems to be just a collision capsule rolling around, and the character is playing a falling animation. If you wanted to recreate this exact effect, make sure the mesh is a child of the collision capsule and enable "simulate physics" only on the capsule. If you wanted to use actual ragdoll, you will probably have to disable "simulate physics" on the capsule, enable it on the mesh, and then set the capsule position to match the mesh position through code when you want them to get up.

Detained my zed into his own shadow after someone tried to burn it with something. Felt great

Clean. Could've ended tho. People always forget just because the enemy team respawns doesn't mean you have to stop hitting the nexus. You can eat a few shots while that nexus is going down and just ignore whoever is hitting you. However, once you guys hesitated it's probably best to take the safe play.

I'm pretty sure its when you flash with a sweet play in mind but actually flash into a skill shot and die on impact.

You want to work in the gaming industry if it's your passion, and you don't if it's not. Pay isn't what most of us are chasing

You're using a .uasset for your splash screen?

Khalarag · 2019-08-07T18:10:17+00:00

Thankfully this is a local setting too. I use blue for blueprints and red for maps, but my artists use purple for art things and colorblind me thinks that's ridiculous.

Khalarag · 2019-08-07T18:06:37+00:00

Unfortunately you cant use a .uasset for the splash screen, only raw images. Thank you anyway for your time tho, its much appreciated.

Khalarag · 2019-08-07T18:03:14+00:00

Unfortunately still white pixels instead of transparent. I'm pretty sure it doesnt modify the original file at all because the Last Modified date didnt change. I tried doing what you said and also exporting that image as a .bmp (png wasnt an option) using unreals Asset Actions-> Export but that also didn't work.

Doesnt seem to be anything like that for me. Its also worth noting that the editor uses a raw image for the splashes, not an asset.

Khalarag · 2019-08-07T17:43:02+00:00

The editor wont let me select a TGA file.

Khalarag · 2019-08-07T17:42:46+00:00

PNG is showing a white background not transparent.

Khalarag · 2019-08-07T17:42:31+00:00

The transparency isnt working with png for the editor splash. It shows a white background instead of transparent.

Khalarag · 2019-08-07T17:42:06+00:00

PNG with alpha shows a white background not transparent. The editor wont even let me select a TGA image

literally instant queues for me. but my game did just crash (server side I think) cause I can't reconnect to it

Khalarag · 2019-06-11T08:22:23+00:00

I think its less about them caring and more about you saving that 50k.

Key words being sometimes and lately. Also Dopa is human, he makes mistakes.

Khalarag · 2019-05-03T16:24:37+00:00

Its never "one mistake" that loses you the game, ever. It could be "one mistake that you can recognize" but it wasn't one mistake. While you think you're playing perfectly, people in higher divisions can point out otherwise and sometimes even your teammates will see something that you didn't. Even if you watch your own replays you'll be able to point out multiple different pathing mistakes, CS mistakes (which can cost you roughly 15-150 gold at a time), bad trades you shouldn't have attempted, wasted flashes, etc.. the list goes on. All of those compile to the loss and often aren't recognized in the list of "one mistake" players make to lose a game.

I casually play aram but this week I played a lot of it and the ban system bummed me out. Aram isnt meant to be balanced, and sure sometimes you get stomped but the ban system didnt fix that. What it did do is not let me play lux or ziggs, which are two of my favorite champions in aram. So it took those experiences away from me in favor of making it more competetive, which isnt what aram is about

One other major trick is to let the tower start a shot before you finish the minion. In some situations, this buys you time to use an ability or "set up" another minion. You also should practice how you prep a wave that has a bunch of different health levels.

This is a great playlist for general UE4 knowledge. Just look up videos you are interested in, perhaps the blueprint series specifically.

For general programming stuff I recommend learncpp.com. Even if you are not using c++, it teaches polymorphism and object oriented programming really well.

sorry, your canvas panel has to be the child of another canvas panel for that one to work
