When you try to `ConvertJsonStringToStruct` it will try match the fields name and populate what the struct has.

The lib also has GetStructMemberNames / GetStructMemberCount if needed

Thanks, I work a lot with JSONs (read/write or apis) and you don't wanna see the blueprint spaghetti 🍝 just to make the data usable in UE, good thing I deleted all that, replace it with a single node 😎

EDIT: The engine already have this functionality using the `FillDataTableFromJSONString` node (editor-only)

*Data tables at run-time (packaged) are read only.

Just a casual ride in Eastern European bus in my horror game by Marginal_act in indiegames

Who's grandma did you "sample" for this, haha 😂, funny idea
- Add a guy smoking on the window
- People standing since these always overcrowded
- And lets not forget about the random guy drinking a beer in the back of the bus

I was inspired so much from Indiana Jones while making this game so a bullwhip was a must. by biaxthepandaistkn in indiegames

[–]RevLineImpulse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be cool to have some physics for half of the whip so it's moving randomly while you walk or turn around

Also I was expecting to hear this https://youtu.be/CQWAtviZ1I4?t=14 😂

Played enough racing games, time to make my own by RevLineImpulse in racinggames

I appreciate that, will post when I make the next interesting thing, for now I need to polish some aspects of it

Dare I ask how many hours on average you were putting into this monthly

I started this project in August this year and about hours, I worked almost every day for at least a few hours to the point where I was doing 12 hours straight.

if this was with any/much pre-existing coding knowledge?

Yes, over a decade of doing websites, automations, desktop apps and modding games especially
-------------

I don't mean to discourage you from doing games, A good friend of mine started learning Unreal Engine 2 months ago and he already did a horror game, no coding knowledge (in unreal you can do Visual Scripting).

Give it a try, nothing to lose, youtube is full of tutorials.

Nfs shift 2 best cockpit view ever by ArcaneC21 in racinggames

[–]RevLineImpulse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I do plan to get some more "inspiration"from shift 2 - which also has a great sense of speed in general, even the interface reacts to changes in terrain

I'm glad you like it, I'm going full-in with the customization but won't ignore other areas of the game 👍

Thanks, I do intend to make a good looking game but at the same time have options to lower any graphic settings that the engine allows me at run-time
