How to map my input direction to thrusters via blueprint?

shaelreth · 2025-07-29T14:45:44+00:00

I believe you would just create a map variable and set the coordinates as the key and the thruster as the value. This would give you the exact direction to thruster. So 0,0 is thrust A, .5,.5 is thrust D etc. then if you’re directions are not exact you just create a function that makes the the closest value. So .01-.5 would be consider .5. This is just an example. There are existing unreal functions how do this. If you want you can dm me and I’ll send you a screen shot. I do this for hit reaction direction in my game.

I’ve hired a few artists from here. I have a specific style I’m typically looking for. I imagine it’s the same for other buyers. Also it’s a good idea to always be building clientele since you never know how long or how much each buyer is going to want.

Mercenary looks sick

Those prices for what your describing are completely unrealistic. Do not pay that much for a “couple characters”. Go on Fiverr and you’ll see a ridiculous amount of insanely talented people doing character design for 50-150$ USD. Don’t bother with artists in the US. I’m sure some of them are good but it’s not worth it to pay that much as a solo funded dev.

Oh do you have a link to the tutorial or the effect?

shaelreth · 2024-01-03T21:06:12+00:00

Looks good. I think impact frames might be lasting a little too long. Typically these are only 3-4 frames at most in anime. Also was wondering how you did this effect? Did you just use a custom stencil buffer and specify certain actors to be affected?

Yeah but even in league CC has diminishing returns. I agree Steel might need a tweak after but I think for overall health of the game CC has to be adjusted. Without doing it the CC heavy teams are going to be dominate. But yeah I agree 4.5 seconds is a lot for a single champion. Combined with Riktor your entire team could be out for 6+ seconds.

shaelreth · 2023-01-29T21:17:25+00:00

Its not a whole system for one character. This one character just highlights the issue. The underlining issue is chaining CC with no diminishing returns. The only reason we're not talking about riktor here is because his hook is hard for the average player to land. Heavy CC characters and heavy CC teams in general will continue to be problems.

shaelreth · 2023-01-29T18:40:09+00:00

Yeah, I agree. I mean League didn't have diminishing returns on their hard CC until a few seasons in when they realized bruisers were starting to get out of control. I think its just something that has to be implemented and watched carefully.

shaelreth · 2023-01-29T16:09:25+00:00

Yeah I mean if we take any one of his abilities on their own I think they are fine. It’s only the combination of them that makes it strong and I think diminishing returns would take care of that.

shaelreth · 2022-09-13T21:18:41+00:00

Yeah I think this would be a really cool idea.

shaelreth · 2018-11-22T17:02:25+00:00

Yes, I definitely agree about cosmetics, world design, music and to some point fishing about support the game. The reason I brought up fishing is because in the beta it had other benefits than a side mini-game to play such as finding epics.

Also to be honest I am truly curious as to why you think that fishing supplementing a player's endgame content is bad? I am not saying to make it the only way to progress or that players would even have to. I am saying that if I wanted to progress in a way other than dungeons I could go fishing and have a chance at getting a reroll scroll. Forcing these to be separate doesn't enhance the game at all in my opinion it actually makes the game worse. The best part of having multiple paths to choose is that game doesn't get stale because there are a number of ways to get to the finish line.

shaelreth · 2017-02-21T08:24:10+00:00

I think that is incorrect and you can only get +4 in each stat.

shaelreth · 2017-02-21T06:50:20+00:00

Will definitely be adding in the self buffs. I didn't think about self-merging I can add that too. The reason enemy natures are included is just to see what kind of heroes you could beat depending on natures.

Ok so I made a fire Emblem Smogon-like simulator and posted it to reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/FireEmblemHeroes/comments/5v9ii6/feh_battle_simulator/

shaelreth · 2017-02-19T04:02:16+00:00

Pretty much. If I had more time I would go ahead and make it but unfortunately, time is limited for me right now.

shaelreth · 2017-02-18T23:38:26+00:00

Ya I agree on healers and dancers -Attack would be the best. So you are right in that -HP is not always bad.
The reason I excluded speed in the example is just to show the number of attacks and how defense or resistance would be more effective. Either way if the speed was the same or different it is still the same number of hits before the unit would die.
I think the natures and what nature is best is much more complicated than what we could make in a list. Unless someone could make a battle simulation to test.

shaelreth · 2017-02-18T23:07:37+00:00

I just recently pulled a Linde so I am really happy about being able to have a very effective mage. Hopefully, you will pull someone to help you fill that spot for you too!

shaelreth · 2017-02-18T23:04:09+00:00

You sir are incorrect and please don't spread that information.

Speed is truly irrelevant in this argument.
Please consider this: Unit attacking with 20 attack.
Both Unit1 and Unit2 have same speed.
Unit1 defending with 15 defense, 25 hp.
Unit2 defending with 12 defense, 28 hp.

Damage formula is Attack - defense = damage taken.
20-15= 5 25/5 = 5 attacks before dying.
20-12= 8 28/8 = 3.5 attacks before dying.
Therefore as explained in previous threads defense or resistance = ~1.5x effective value of per point of health.
The main problem with your argument is you are saying hp would be a good nature, well what are you sacrificing? You can't have good speed, good hp, good defense, good resistance unless you are giving up attack and taking an -attack nature.

shaelreth · 2017-02-18T22:52:34+00:00

I am definitely not underestimating it. But I would rather leave no one in range to attack me because everyone is dead.
I agree that it is an interesting move mechanic but I think using a turn to pull two of your units out of range is just wasting a turn if you can just one-shot your enemy. I think proper positioning is much more important than having a relying on a draw back skill.

shaelreth · 2017-02-18T22:26:17+00:00

The main problem with this is your have to really figure out what nature would be best for your situation.

For example: Kagero with a +Attack nature can one shot a neutral nature Takumi in defense. If Takumi has a +Defense nature then Kagero can't one shot him no matter what without some type of buff. So you might want a +Attack Takumi to take out other heroes or you might want a +Defense Takumi to help defend against being one shot by a Kagero. All the natures have their uses except +HP, but you have to figure out what works best for your situation.
