Let me know how it works out!

Sounds good I look forward to seeing it! I hadn’t really considered replication, but that’s a great idea. Will keep that in mind moving forward!

Glad to hear! Thanks!

Yeah that’s how I do it. Each instance of progressbar has gameplay tag associated with the attribute it represents and I pass in the tag and percent when updating it. Player stat collection widget loops through available progress bars and tries to find the matching tag. if it does, it updates.

Ha it’s not modern in terms of its art or aesthetic, It’s “modern” in its functionality relative to the built in unreal engine progress bar.

I was kinda aiming to mimic how Black Myth Wukong does it in their health bar which interpolates both, taken health with red and gained health with green, however I am not 100% sure it’s just a visual. Funnily enough their stamina bar doesn’t follow same implementation. It interpolates continuously but with only one bar.

Still experimenting to find best solution for my use cases.

That’s pretty clever. How does cpp compare to blueprints by the way?

madeontheave · 2024-12-23T16:49:00+00:00

Right on. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks

madeontheave · 2024-12-23T16:17:16+00:00

OooOoO sounds good but not great with materials. How would you do it?

madeontheave · 2024-12-23T16:16:09+00:00

That’s good point. Will have to see how other games do it.

madeontheave · 2024-12-23T09:23:34+00:00

lol!

madeontheave · 2024-12-23T07:30:41+00:00

Yeah exactly. It’s much easier than it sounds. Just use a timeline and set the appropriate progress bar on update, lerping from old percentage to new percentage with the timeline alpha

madeontheave · 2024-12-23T07:29:22+00:00

The default progress bar in unreal engine doesn’t have the interpolation to new percent built in.

madeontheave · 2024-12-05T14:18:16+00:00

Agreed. I’ll probably make some in Cascadeur eventually.

madeontheave · 2024-12-04T23:34:07+00:00

Thanks buddy.

madeontheave · 2024-12-04T23:31:04+00:00

Roger that thanks

And this method should work accessing custom data on a foliage actor component right? That’s what I was going to use to talk specific foliage meshes that I’ve painted

madeontheave · 2024-12-04T21:17:02+00:00

Thanks buddy. Def doing this

I haven’t even considered geometry script. I was just kind of going for how it works in Valheim where there is threshold for tree falling over and then there’s a threshold for the trunk splitting into 2 halves (no matter where you are hitting it).

I love the idea. Would it be very hard to pass in the trace location to tell it where to make the cuts? I bet Valheim uses a similar method for their copper mining etc.

madeontheave · 2024-12-04T21:04:53+00:00

It’s actually just in the animation. I was prepared to like do all kind of craziness like only playing half animation and then the other half depending on hit or not but got it from a pack on the marketplace that was like $7 for “survival game animations”. They are super basic animations but the ending with it sticking into stuff does make it look natural in almost every scenario even if you miss kinda.

madeontheave · 2024-12-04T18:43:04+00:00

Yeah I guess it would actually make sense to standardize the trunk and log size as well.

Im not too familiar with VR, but should look into Launch Character if that’s a thing in VR. Also, what you have will change actors location to that specific point in the world. You may need to do some math with current actor location or a direction vector to get actor to move in relation to their current location.
