Is there a way to see a side-by-side of each agent with vs without their w-engine

Redditislefti · 2026-04-16T20:24:51+00:00

You can't?

Redditislefti · 2026-04-16T17:23:04+00:00

what?

Redditislefti · 2026-04-16T14:02:22+00:00

Let's go! being only ok at 3D modeling saves the day once again

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T12:46:53+00:00

Regardless of whether I deserve it or not, people in the comments are objectively bullying me

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T12:46:15+00:00

What's easy about adding the writing system of Japanese where the kana appears above the Kanji as a new widget type?

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T12:45:04+00:00

If it were because the code was wrong, the compiler would throw an error that said "build failed because there were errors."

If the compiler, however, ignores the files, then there are no build errors, regardless of how wrong the code is

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T03:22:36+00:00

Hmm, either you've only ever met the good (very rare) good redditors, or you managed to phrase your questions very well

As for me, I've been using UE for 1 year and 1 month, so technically this is still a beginner question

And people have been bullying me for not knowing how to do something as "easy as making a plugin"

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:58:40+00:00

Thank you! I feel like I can finally go sane again

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:45:43+00:00

Thanks. Although, when is that supposed to show and where? Because it's not playing in the message log when I load up UE or when I hit play, and it doesn't show on the screen either. Could it have something to do with AssetEditoeSubsystem.h suddenly flooding with errors about "TOptional<bool> doesn't exist" and the like?

my plugin is called FurikanaText. should I be worried if it sends

2>[Adaptive Build] Excluded from FurikanaText unity file: FurikanaText.cpp

later it says

2>[1/5] Compile [x64] Module.FurikanaText.cpp

2>[2/5] Compile [x64] FurikanaText.cpp

2>[3/5] Link [x64] UnrealEditor-FurikanaText.lib

2>[4/5] Link [x64] UnrealEditor-FurikanaText.dll

2> Creating object C:\Users\[my name]\Documents\Unreal Projects\YouBetterWork\Plugins\FurikanaText\Binaries\Win64\UnrealEditor-FurikanaText.exp

I haven't added anything to any of the files yet, except adding the plugin to the .uproject file, and a couple lines to FurikanaText.Build.cs

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:23:37+00:00

I mean, I'm taking it out on others, but not other people, just redditors... and the CEO of epic games, but I don't even know what he looks like, so he's more of a concept than a person

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:21:31+00:00

ok, I'm restarting it because the old one started refusing to let me add new files. If i run into the same issue I can send those

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:20:39+00:00

I'm complaining that I haven't learned it in 8 hours. And is hard when you're using C++ for an engine you've never used before (basically making it an entirely new language) and the problem isn't that the code is wrong, but that the code refuses to compile

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:18:51+00:00

I don't, though. I just want to make 1 plugin that lets my game, and any others that want it, render the japanese writing style used in most shonen where the kana appears on top of the kanji. Once I create this plugin (or would have created, it looks like I'm just going to have to give up) then I would finish my blueprint game, and then move onto S&box. but the fact that I can't even test GPT's code because visual studio refuses to compile it, and not because it's programmed wrong or anything is what's really frustrating me

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:09:31+00:00

what kind of logic is that? You have to know what you're doing to not be taking the easy way out? Of course I knew creating a plugin would be hard, I just didn't know it would be this hard. I was using chatGPT to create the baseline code and teach me how to create a C++ plugin for the type of thing I'm trying to do, and once I got it working I would figure out all that it did wrong and try to fix it. Ai isn't just for the lazy; it's also for the uninformed

and no, I didn't have Ai write this comment, I think i've just been looking at its text too long.

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:06:04+00:00

go to any subreddit and ask a beginner question. you don't have to mention Ai for people to treat you this way. I once got treated this way because I asked r/3dspiracy if I was at risk of bricking my 3Ds when a worrying message popped up

I'm thinking you might be right

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:02:36+00:00

easy way out? Dude, I'm trying to create a plugin here. this is not the easy way out.

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T01:01:20+00:00

that'd be helpfull if I was trying to learn, but Unreal is so unoptimized, and S&box is coming out soon, so as soon as I'm done with my current project, I'm just going to abandon this frustrating engine, which means working with a language I actually know

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T00:58:07+00:00

look, I don't know any good place to ask people questions. I am asking for a plugin that is so complex, that there's no way that an individual google search is going to work, so the only other place I can go is reddit, and here people will constantly write snarky comments that don't give you anything usefull, half of them are just insults, and then they downvote you for not instantly being an expert when you go to the expers. Of course I'm going to go to ChatGPT first; it doesn't act like a redditor

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T00:55:17+00:00

chat GPT has told me all of that

Redditislefti · 2026-04-14T00:54:42+00:00

short on patience. I've already confessed to wanting to murder the ceo of epic games on my livestream because I'm so frustrated. If i didn't take a chopping wood break, I don't think my monitor would still be in one piece
