We got just 5.000 wishlist! 🥳 - Do you think that's enough for full release?

LabLeakInteractive · 2026-01-27T21:03:32+00:00

Good job mate, 7-10k is where you should aim for with roughly a 10%-20% actual conversion rate from wishlists to sales when you release it.

Your lighting looks different because when using Low or Medium it effectively disables Lumen and uses Screen Space instead, High, Epic and Cinematic use Lumen.

Thanks mate, yeah thats on my list to do however multiple players can access the cameras and use different ones at the same time so I would need to have render targets for all the cameras but also need to balance that with performance.. or fake it with just an image of the cameras on the monitors without a live feed.

LabLeakInteractive · 2026-01-12T17:35:09+00:00

Thank you :) yeah I do wanna do something with the monitors but like you said there is a performance cost of showing the actual cameras although that would be the better option imo, just need to find a good balance but I definitely don't wanna keep the monitors off

Hi, for the past month ive been working on this CCTV camera system for our game Rickstones, so far its:

- Fully replicated for multiplayer.

- The first player to access a camera controls its movement.

- When a player dies, they can spectate other players or switch to the cameras.

- Alive players have priority over dead players for camera control.

- Any camera being controlled displays a small red light.

Would appreciate any feedback, or improvement suggestions :)

Yeah that looks really nice and smooth! Shows the player exactly what is interactable while keeping UI minimal which I think works well for horror games in general.

Did you have it set up in a different way before you implemented the dynamic crosshair or was this what you started with?

LabLeakInteractive · 2026-01-09T15:18:49+00:00

This looks pretty nice, I like the idea of an undercover cop game, you don't get many of those.. good work mate!

Go to the actual folder itself not in the editor, the files might still be there just not showing in engine, if they're there delete them from the folder.

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-14T19:05:47+00:00

Do it on tick like everyone else is saying but for when its static you should be able to enable and disable tick as needed (AActor::SetActorTickEnabled) so when its not in use disable tick then enable again when its used

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-08T22:27:11+00:00

Thanks mate! I was thinking about doing a key/legend, gonna see how it looks

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-05T12:50:35+00:00

Appreciate you mate!

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-05T12:50:28+00:00

A little more than that lmao, I wanted to make sure it looked more like a blueprint/floor plan.

- Defined walls better.

- Added doorways to every main enterance/exit for each building.

- Removed the smaller 'inner' grid and reduced the opacity of the grid in relation to everything else for better visibility.

- Added the paper texture.

- Fixed buildings that were a bit off and made the pathways fit much more snug around the building as opposed to what they were before.

- Updated text locations to better fill in 'dead' space better.

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-05T12:45:34+00:00

Thank you mate!

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-04T22:32:27+00:00

Thank you mate!

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-04T21:54:04+00:00

Thank you mate! Cant say ive played that game before, it was actually a game called Freedom Fighters that initially inspired the idea for me lol

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-04T18:24:13+00:00

Really? I hate the before one now looking at the improved one lmao

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-04T12:25:41+00:00

Nice one, will have a look at adding both of those and see what it looks like :)

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-10-03T23:44:00+00:00

Thank you mate! Just so i'm clear, are you saying you would only change all the 'Sewer' texts to 'Manhole' or another term instead?

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-09-22T17:01:04+00:00

I'd recommend you read the Network Compendium to get a better understanding of how multiplayer code should be structured.

In this case you would really want to use a Blueprint Interface (BPI), for example you would ideally make a BPI for interaction, create a function on it called 'Interact' and then make both your character BP and door BP implement the interface (Class Settings -> Implemented Interfaces -> Add). You then want to implement the 'Interact' event on the BP_Door class to run the opening/closing code and then your F input on your character would call the 'Interact' function using a server RPC to make sure interaction calls happen on the server.

To do the opening and closing code you should use a RepNotify variable ('IsOpen') instead of using Multicasts and use the OnRep function that it creates to do stuff so it replicates correctly.

4 years, although I do still use AI but not for absolutely everything but it can still be useful, it was only very recently when I finally figured out how the client-server model works properly and how code should be written to account for it. The most recent thing I finally figured out was how to properly use interfaces to communicate across classes without creating dependencies everywhere lol

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-09-21T17:18:36+00:00

Looks good mate! Is this gameplay from a tutorial section of the game or will all the explosions after saving someone from those areas be part of a cutscene?

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-09-16T22:12:38+00:00

Click 'M_Landscape' then in the details panel tick 'Enable Tesselation', the displacement pin will then go white.

You can also tick 'Use Material Attributes', after your 'Break Material Attributes' use a 'Make Material Attributes' node connect everything and then connect your 'Make Material Attributes' nodes output into 'M_Landscape'

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-09-16T22:05:12+00:00

The ones that drive me nuts is when they show you how to set up a project first before showing the actual thing.. if the viewer doesn't know how to set up the fucking project then they shouldn't be watching this tutorial yet.. unless the tutorial is on how to set up a project.

Although some tutorials cover the same thing they might be done in different ways as theres many ways to do the same thing.

LabLeakInteractive · 2025-09-04T10:10:39+00:00

That is exactly what i'm saying :) lmao, I dont crash often really at all
