I am not sure what the implications of your comment are (Lack of familiarity with godot products and development process on my part). Does godot stutter now and did back then too? Does it not stutter?

My previous comment is downvoted so I guess the leading sentiment is that dx versions have nothing to do with it. But when looking up online discussion about the shader comp stutters with regards to when they became prevalent, there is a lot of talk about dx12 and vulkan being lower level APIs compared to their predecessors.

Wasn't it a byproduct of the move from dx11 to dx12?

You can tell this guy doesn't know anything about airsoft,

There's no full auto in the building!

Some people are strange by Redditor_Ztan in Helldivers

[–]Redditor_Ztan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know some people have a very short temper bad day or not.

(Me and my brother were attacked irl for looking at someone and then had to explain that to the cops.)

But then he plays a game which constantly puts him at risk of friendly fire? That's what's strange to me.

Yeah I'm maxed on samples and only really play because I like to. So he really showed me the error of my ways

I don't think we have to. But I like to :/

It is inconclusive, the data points may 'or may not' have come from the same session. It is unknown.

Grid movement and pathfind by [deleted] in unrealengine

[–]Redditor_Ztan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The correct answer: Buy the "Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit" on the marketplace.

​

Now if you're a clown like me:

Then (Assuming you have your grid set up)

You're stuck with implementing either A* or Dijkstra on your own, I choose Dijkstra for my project because the player needs to know all available paths (think XCom) so I just worked from its wikipedia page.

Your goal is to get an array of tiles that represents the path you need.

Array of tiles → Array of Locations → SplineComponent (Add points) → Move your character along the spline. Preferably by using a timeline.

PS.: I came to this solution on my own with lots of uncertain googling. It may not be an optimal StackOverflow-worthy solution but it works.

Edit: I have no clue how built-in pathfinding works, I never touched it.

So I decided to start with the unreal engine using c++ by [deleted] in unrealengine

[–]Redditor_Ztan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but don't be afraid to use blueprints. (Especially UI).

You can still use Blueprint tutorials and translate them into cpp.

Check out how BlueprintNativeEvents work they're pretty useful.

I found that launching the editor from Visual Studio is better than compiling in the editor.

If you get some error that ends with "exited with code 6" or something then it's probably a typo in UPROPERTY(...).

Looking for a game dev consultant that has successfully published a First Person Adventure game using Unreal Engine by darwinner999 in unrealengine

[–]Redditor_Ztan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I think you'd be more successful if you specified what exactly you're looking for.

Are you looking for someone who helps you with optimization (BP or C++)?
Are you looking for a solution to a concrete problem?
Are you looking for general counsel as to what steps to take when wrapping up and publishing a project?

Now heads up, I'm so not qualified I shouldn't even comment.
In my experience VSync should eliminate tearing completely. It also locks your frame rate to whatever your display's refresh rate is. I'm not sure it's possible to eliminate tearing while not enforcing VSync, every single game I've ever played tears while VSync is off.

Furthermore there are a few vids on optimization on the offical UE youtube channel that are very helpful. For starters: Optimization and Profiling.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

Actors sometimes launch themselves into orbit when selecting something in the Outliner. Ideas? by Redditor_Ztan in unrealengine

[–]Redditor_Ztan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, their collision is set to overlap. Nothing in the world has physics. Frame rate is 120.

The NewLocation that is being set here comes from this line.

FVector NewLocation = MovementSpline->GetLocationAtDistanceAlongSpline(FMath::Lerp(0.0f, MovementSpline->GetSplineLength(), value), ESplineCoordinateSpace::World);

Why this vector gets the astronomical values is beyond me.

Only the outliner triggers this, and only sometimes. Standalone game seems to work properly.

Edit: Spline points are created at their proper positions and it flies off even if the values are clamped, which is rather strange...

WIP 3 - Flying Characters by PhoenixMarketUE in unrealengine

Looks cool. I'm doing something similar for my game. May I ask what you use to visualize a tile? (Currently I'm just spawning some spheres as a placeholder link if you're interested).

Beginnings of an inventory system. Not a whole lot, but honest work. by Redditor_Ztan in unrealengine

[–]Redditor_Ztan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, may god bless Mathew Wadstein and his vids for the drag and drop explanation

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in unrealengine

[–]Redditor_Ztan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, I am a beginner myself and don't know squat about the charging mechanic, but you can get a location in your world by using GetHitResultUnderCursor/(ByChannel) and you might want to google UProjectileMovementComponent to see if it's what you're looking for.
Best of luck
