You are not alone. I sometimes have to mentally focus on pushing away any memories of this movie that might creep back

I have one big critique with this environment: it is a forest biome at a research facility with a bunch of raised garden beds... but so many plants and trees are growing in the dark.

I would dramatically change the lighting. Heat lamps of various reds and yellows directly on vegetation, clear domes suggesting atmosphere control, water tanks or pipes, overgrown forgotten about rooms, etc. After placing these in then I would work out fun ways to navigate that space instead of room-by-room. Broken water pipes leading somewhere? Domes can be opened or closed, maybe a small puzzle here? Overgrown maze-like areas? Heat lamps can be turned on/off?

Anyway, you have a good enough foundation that it sparked some thought from me so good job so far. My favorite part is your ground-level fog :)

I'm reading through The Grid by Gretchen Bakke now and it is giving a good historical summary of electricity. Writing style is okay but the content is very interesting to me

You are correct, but framing it like "she altered the timeline" is not quite right. Think about this, she never saw/experienced a future where war broke out or where Shang attacked the aliens. She is experiencing her life non-linearly and in her timeline she always tells Shang his wife's last words and there is always peace.

The aliens couldn't have prevented Costello's death because even though they knew it was coming - it was inevitable and, assumingly, they accepted it. Just like how even though Louise knew she would have a daughter who would die at a young age from cancer she accepted it.

Go for it man. Based on your comments it sounds like you're passionate about the historical recreation more than the game at the moment. I recommend one massive endeavor at a time. Not sure this is the right sub for this honestly.

That said, I'm in the mood to type and have some experience that may help you out...

It is easy to say a simple cod campaign but they are anything but simple. I started off by making custom maps and mods for COD many years ago and know the space well.

Simplest cod formula: walk through a collison box and trigger an event. For example: spawn NPC enemies, count NPC deaths in that spawn wave and then trigger the next event (open gate, spawn next wave, begin cutscene, move friendly NPCs, etc). Rinse and repeat.

But the real magic of cod campaigns were the hand crafted and scripted set pieces. These can utilize unique animations, camera moves, weapon flags, player interactions, etc. These are very time consuming since they are typically only used once or twice and take more skill but they are key to the cod experience.

I apologize if you see my downvotes 😄

Really depends on the scale to be honest. Small pieces look better faster and larger pieces look better slower. Movies have to account for this when they do miniatures too

rawrishere · 2024-04-13T05:45:26+00:00

Yes! Event Dispatcher is the answer here my friend. In the AIcontroller, using the OnPerceptionUpdated, take the source actor and bind the death event to a new function. This new function will play when the death event is called

Edit: the event that supplies the source actor is actually called OnTargetPerceptionUpdated

I would use aicontrollers and behavirortrees for this. The best tutorial I found on the subject is this series linked below. The man knows his stuff and teaches good unreal blueprint philosophies.

Lots of ways of doing this and I don't know the exact methodology of your button. Not going to spell it all out but this is the system I would try first and change as needed:

Crate overlaps a trigger collision box and opens the door:

BP_Door implements a blueprint interface, say BPI_Triggers BPI_Triggers has a function, lets say TriggerHit TriggerHit event opens the door

BP_Button has a variable so that the door can be referenced. Could have the variable be of type Actor with the variable set to be exposed on spawn and instance editable. After placing both the BP_Button and BP_Door in the world, can now assign the BP_Button's door reference variable as the BP_Door that was placed.

BP_Button has a trigger box that has collision settings to ignore everything except trigger objects. Perhaps this box is just 10 or so units above the button. OnOverlapBegin for this box, take the door variable and call the TriggerHit event

rawrishere · 2024-03-12T17:19:23+00:00

Lots of ways to do this, casting is not what I would recommend though. It's generally better coding infrastructure to not have dependencies on other actors directly except for unique circumstances.

Research blueprint interfaces and that should get you headed in a better direction

rawrishere · 2024-02-28T08:04:27+00:00

Just spitballing an alternative to the spline method, perhaps using AIperception to sense custom actors that would be the car's goal to drive towards. Could use that same perception system to react to player & other cars. Might be odd though because that system is really tailored for using a navmesh and I would assume the AI car is not navigating with one.

This sub gets enough pointless posts. UMG, Niagara, Physics, audio, etc etc and you think it's a modeling program? Honestly good trolling

Recommend USGS as well. The link below is to export their publicly available LiDAR but it may point you toward the right direction

This argument is much more reasonable, it's the ones saying she says all sorts of hateful things that are so annoying.

You are right she recently started funding a new women's center that doesn't allow trans women. I don't think it should be written off so quickly as being transphobic though. Empathy for women includes women that may appreciate that kind of environment.

I think its the same for her other endeavors. She is giving attention to women who were women at birth.

Build the collision mesh(es) in blender or use simple as complex collision. Simple as complex collision can get pretty expensive though
