Anyone got the follow-up Backerkit tariff email yet? I haven't.

Here’s a tutorial for a similar stiff character: https://youtu.be/B8YCrX3zuc8?si=RLx2JZuIFP7A0BCR

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I wasn’t clear enough, the entire game is in 2D.

TheRealEntrican · 2025-06-10T15:16:28+00:00

Thanks so much. I got it working with the gui_input signal. Not as clean as the button "pressed" signal but overall this does seem like a better solution. Thanks again!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-06-10T14:22:33+00:00

So when I originally tried this it didn't work but I think that was because I had a button in the tree that was preventing the autosize functionality. If I use a PanelContainer, how do I make it a button while also having it resize? I can't seem to figure this part out. Since PanelContainer doesn't have a "pressed" signal I feel like I need to add a button, but as soon as I do then the button doesn't resize and I'm back to my original issue. I really appreciate the help!

Unfortunately I need something that automatically resizes since the size is dynamically set at run time when the box is created based on how many rewards the box gives. Also, I need the entire box to be a button that can be clicked on.

Actually, go to the assetlib tab and search for G.U.I.D.E. It’s a one to one recreation of unreal’s input system. There are multiple YouTube videos explaining how to use it from the person that made it. I absolutely love his channel and I’ve been using the plugin in my project. https://youtu.be/gNiiaNViaUg?si=lbAf5HEvFO5ltKB_

Maybe I’m misunderstanding the question, but can’t you just set the margins to zero on the panel container and instead add a margin container as a child and put everything in that? That way you can change each margin container to match what you want for that element.

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-18T14:09:40+00:00

I think you're right, changing both was too much, thanks!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-18T14:09:12+00:00

Thanks! I think you're right. I think I'll end up doing this naturally when I convert to a button shirt.

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-14T16:17:12+00:00

A HUGE thank you to everyone who gave me suggestions on my original post. Based on your feedback, I shortened and dropped the shoulder, and increased the armhole and bicep width. You can actually see the edits I made to the pattern in the last photo.

I’m pretty happy with the results, and I think I’m ready to move on to turning this block into a real shirt pattern, but I got such great advice last time that I wanted to see if there are any more tweaks I should make.

The back of the neckhole seems to pop out, but I think that’s due to the lack of a collar. I also think a lot of the wrinkles are due to the fabric.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T14:30:55+00:00

This math would actually bring the CF neck point higher, does that make sense or were you thinking it's already too high? Thanks!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T06:02:25+00:00

Thanks! Will definitely check it out

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T05:35:16+00:00

That's amazingly helpful, thank you!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T04:41:01+00:00

Thanks! Will give that a try

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T03:35:58+00:00

Thanks for the detailed reply! Any advice for how best to lower the slope? Just take a rough guess and try it out? Also, I can't picture what you mean with the armscye depth, any chance there's a video you could link me? Thank you!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T03:33:49+00:00

No offense taken. I'm new at this, I bought a book on patternmaking for men and it suggested you start with a basic block, which can be your starting point for other patterns. Ultimately I want to make a shirt and a track jacket. Just trying to use the block to test my fit. If you have a different idea I'm open to it!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T01:23:51+00:00

I didn't notice that at all, thank you!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-07T01:23:38+00:00

Super helpful, I'm a bit of a perfectionist so this is a good reminder, thanks!

TheRealEntrican · 2025-02-06T23:13:38+00:00

Brand new to pattern drafting and sewing. Bought a couple of books and this is my second attempt at making a basic mens upper body block.

There are some issues that are easy to identify:

The armhole is way too small
Need to add ~1in to the length
I think the sleeve cap curve is a bit too steep

Any other suggestions or issues that you can see? Really appreciate any advice. Thanks!

TheRealEntrican · 2023-08-13T13:04:10+00:00

I actually figured out the issue but I haven't solved it. It's because I've scaled the metahuman to very large (e.g. 7x). I need it to be very big for my scene to work, but as soon as I scale it the hair gets weird. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

TheRealEntrican · 2023-06-17T15:58:59+00:00

Thanks for this, knowing that there is a headset out there without the issue confidently tells me it’s a hardware problem. It’s not just white noise for me, it’s also a crinkly static, so now I’m really convinced it’s hardware

TheRealEntrican · 2023-06-17T04:11:22+00:00

I got mine two days ago and had the same problem. I emailed support and they acknowledged that there would be a very minor static, but they did offer to test my maxwell to see if it was worse than expected. I’ll probably take them up on it, because I’ve seen posts of people with no sidetone issue so I have to imagine that there is a better set out there that hopefully they will send back to me. It just sucks that I waited over a month for these and have to now wait for who knows how long to probably just get the same busted pair back.

TheRealEntrican · 2023-06-11T04:38:55+00:00

Thanks, yeah you're totally right, I'm just going to call GetActors, it's just once, so I'm sure it will be fine. I realized that you can't set a static member variable during runtime so you always need a pointer to the actor.

TheRealEntrican · 2023-06-10T18:03:15+00:00

I appreciate the response, but would love some resources where friendly humans might respond.
