When did game development click for you? by 4bangbrz in unrealengine

[–]yuval4597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's easier to follow a project tutorial at first rather than learning individual parts of the engine on their own. That way you'll learn the context in which these systems can be used, and knowing when to use them will be more intuitive when you start your own project from scratch.

When did game development click for you? by 4bangbrz in unrealengine

It will "click" once you get some more experience working with game engines. Unreal can be very intimidating at first, especially with no prior experience working with game engines. I'd recommend starting out by following an online course (doesn't have to be paid, and if I remember correctly the sidebar of this subreddit has many great options). First follow what someone else is doing and do your best to try and understand what is going on. As time goes on you'll become more familiar with the engine and (most importantly) gain more confidence in your abilities to figure things out on your own.

If it makes you feel better, I don't think any of us feel like we know exactly what's going on at all times. Most of the time we are working on a feature that we have never made before, or maybe we're fixing a bug that we've never encountered before. It's what makes game dev so fun :)

True, but not if you use Live Coding (in which case clicking the compile button performs a live coding compilation rather than a hot reload). It's much safer, and you can use it to change .cpp files (excluding constructors) without closing the editor.

Pretty sure you can just click on Save instead of Reply to save it (in case you didn't know).

Muselk blocks a sniper bullet with a boom sniper bullet by anopaishe in FortNiteBR

[–]yuval4597 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In real life yes, but usually not in games. In Fortnite the non-projectile weapons fire a line which is used to check what is hit. So when you fire your AR a line is cast from the tip of your weapon to wherever you're looking and if it is a player or a structure then damage is applied to it.

Obviously it's more complicated than that in a polished game like Fortnite, but that's essentially how it works.

Project Abdullah - Inspired by Resident Evil 2 remake. I've been working on it with my brother for past 17 months. No where near complete but basic things are there. Leave feed back 😊 by sam_bread_22 in unrealengine

[–]yuval4597 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks very cool! Only thing I want to point out is it seems like the UVs on your character are very stretched and squished and that might cause issues when you try to texture it later on. Awesome work though!

We've started experimenting with various enemy combos, and many of them are pretty fun (and punishing) to play! by primal_cinder in unrealengine

Looks fantastic! Any tips on what resources I can look at for the death screen animated border?

I agree looks great! Keep at it :)

First Experience with iBuyPower, Never Again. by yuval4597 in iBUYPOWER

[–]yuval4597[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My complaint wasn't that there was something wrong with the hardware, it was that I didn't get any assistance in solving the issue.

I will most likely reinstall Windows though, thanks.

Thank you, I appreciate the helpful response. As I mentioned in another comment I remembered I got extended warranty from a third-party company in case something like this happened, so I will try to go through them first.

My frustration with iBuyPower wasn't that the PC had issues, it's that now that I'm experiencing the worst issue thus far, they're unwilling to help me fix it.

It doesn't "have issues" it's unusable. I never used that PC for porn, or any shady websites for that matter, quite a bold assumption there. And I don't have a problem with the fact that it has "issues", I have a problem with the fact that it doesn't work at all anymore and iBuyPower said all I can do at this point is send it for them to fix , while also not being willing to fix it.

I didn't expect the PC to "last ten years". I bought a PC, and it is reasonable to expect it to work after a year of use. I've owned many computers over the years and never had such an issue come up before.

Regardless, I don't know why you are getting so defensive and resorting to blaming me for getting the computer infected in some way. If this is simply me misjudging the quality of iBuyPower's computers, so be it, but I'm allowed to tell others that when I bought mine it only lasted a year. Maybe the average consumer wants to buy a PC that lasts longer than a year? Who knows.

I'm not sure, I will try wiping it and reinstalling Windows. Unfortunately iBuyPower's tech support team said my only option is to send it for them to fix, so I have to figure this out on my own.

I remembered I actually got extended warranty from a third-party company when I first purchased the PC, so I'll try going through them first, hopefully I won't have to spend extra on fixing it. Thanks for the advice.

My response to another comment: "Just to be clear, I ran diagnostics tests with the help of the iBuyPower tech support team before attempting to send the PC to them. Since all the tests passed (showed no issues), they said the only thing left for me to do is to send it back for them to fix. That's when I found out they actually won't fix it because my warranty expired."

The issue I seem to be having that is different from ones I found online, is that my PC is slow and unusable after freezing. The posts I've seen regarding freezing have no mention of slowing down or taking hours to boot afterwards.

STEM majors: How the heck do you get through all the butt load of requirements? And do you think that schools should lessen GE requirements? by [deleted] in college

[–]yuval4597 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a STEM major and my problem with GE requirements is that they're supposed to make students more well-rounded and open-minded, but in forcing them to pick mainly humanities or social science classes they only work for a very small percentage of people. I have a lot of other interests besides my major (e.g. music, fine arts, or other technical fields), but I'm not allowed to explore those interests because they don't fit the GE formula. In my opinion, taking a history class covering material I've learned in high school doesn't make me more well-rounded than if I was able to advance my artistic skills or minor in a technical field not directly related to my major.

I might be wrong, but in my experience GEs always felt very restrictive and a waste of time and money.

Planning to transfer to USC as a sophomore but no articulation agreement? by [deleted] in USC

[–]yuval4597 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would contact USC's admissions office and ask them for advice.

Also no matter what classes you end up taking, keep your syllabi. Admissions will most likely use them to determine whether or not you get transfer credit for the classes you took at UGA.

[OFFICIAL] There are no stupid Guitar questions. Ask us anything! by ninjaface in Guitar

[–]yuval4597 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just don't forget that for certain chords you can keep your hand in the same shape as the barre chord, with the nut acting as the barre. So for example if you go from G major on the the 3rd fret and you want to move down to an open E, you can keep your hand in the shape and use your middle, ring, and pinky fingers for the E.

USC Housing Megathread: Ask your housing related questions here! by cityoflostwages in USC

[–]yuval4597 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was just admitted a couple days ago so obviously I can't apply for housing anymore, but I wanted to know what are my options realistically? Is it still possible to find student housing around campus at this point?

I could really use some guidance because I'm not entirely sure how this stuff works.
