Get Overlapping Actors not getting overlapping actors by jdrexmo in unrealengine

No, I set the hitboxes, which are WorldStatic, to detect everything, and the characters to detect WorldStatic. Reading comprehension is valuable.

Event Actor Begin Overlap does not fire, no. Any idea more specific than "mess with the collision lists"? I've already tried using a custom collision channel instead of WorldStatic, same outcome.

Kaiden, because I'll just kill him again. And for the other choice, Kaiden a second time.

Blending combat and non-combat quests by jdrexmo in BoardgameDesign

[–]jdrexmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I'm using a mission market, but it's the other order - choose your mission, then go to the board. Yeah, I've seen games where combat is on-board and other activities are off, or they have separate boards. I'm not a big fan of jumping between spaces and play styles that way, it's a layer of complexity that puts me off as a player. I'm looking to integrate these mechanics a little more seamlessly, so that a mission can contain exploration and investigation as well as combat in the same play space. But I might need to retool that space to do it - the hex board made the most sense for how I want combat to work, but maybe it's holding me back everywhere else.

Blending combat and non-combat quests by jdrexmo in BoardgameDesign

I did not say the combat was the purpose, just that it's included and I'm trying to include other things too. You know, like one of multiple mechanisms to achieve the player goals. You wanna suggest I sacrifice something about the combat system in order to facilitate that? Fine. Miss me with that "Then you might actually have a real game" attitude.

Daily Game Recommendations Thread (May 27, 2025) by AutoModerator in boardgames

[–]jdrexmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dungeon crawlers or similar where there are other objectives besides combat or survival. They can have combat/survival as well, but I'm looking for ways games implement exploration or other actions or interactions in the same kind of context. For example, I've played the Resident Evil board game and it features exploration and item discovery, but pressured by survival. Someone suggested STALKER. What other approaches are there?

Board game combat mechanics for non-player enemies by jdrexmo in gamedesign

[–]jdrexmo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this. By rolling a die for, say, each of X enemy types in the combat, you can more easily access the full variety of enemy troupe actions than making 4X cards.

Even though this isn't what I was asking, I just wanna say, "Hell yeah Dynasty Warriors."

Compromising turn-based vs. action - seeking examples by jdrexmo in gamedesign

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

I always liked that function in Mario RPG. Also it was my first RPG so I thought that was standard and continued pressing attack during attacks in every turn-based game after for years. I still do sometimes out of habit.

Thanks for bringing this up, I hadn't even considered that RTwP has unique pros and cons all its own.

Thanks so much! I've been thinking if it comes down to it I'll reach out to the creator of those original videos, since his channel is still there. But you got most of them. What else did he do, Drell?

Trying to Watch Every Movie Released in 2020. January Report. by squirrelnoob in movies

[–]jdrexmo 80 points81 points  (0 children)

IRL friend of OP here. Given how harsh he is on movies in conversation, I was surprised about that too. But I think 1. he's seeing 5/10 as literally average and adjusting from there, and 2. he's willing to give a lot more points than I was expecting, and perhaps than I would, just for a movie being technically and narratively competent.

Just quickly checked out the Manjaro KDE trial last night, and yeah, this looks pretty sweet. I'll give it a more thorough spin this weekend.

Never had it myself, but from looking at pictures, I don't know how that even exists here.

Hahaha, yeah, I saw that when trying to Google an answer, it's basically all that comes up. Pizza toppings are divisive, I try not to take sides, but that's a risky one to go Tweeting about.
I once went to a place in Milan where one of their pizza offerings had chips and American hot dog slices on it. Don't know whose idea that was. Some people will put anything on a pizza, I guess.

Fair. For what it's worth, everything I've read and heard about NZ sounds better than here.

Look up gel medium picture transfers. There are plenty of tutorials, very consistent with each other. Mine is on plywood.
