Of course you could also just make the exit a separate montage, and do the same Stop/Play trick. But it's nice to have it in one montage to simplify references, and to allow the choice of smooth/pop jump. YMMV

Thanks Megan ☺️

And this is the correct version, using the Player Camera Manager. The only thing that changed is getting location / direction from the PCM instead of the camera component.

This is what it can look like doing a camera ray intersection for object placement using the camera component directly, under changing conditions

Ah I see, hmm, not sure about that one, will try a start offset first

Yeah making the start point slightly off to the side is on my list now that I’ve changed it to view-targeting mode, not origin + direction (which is hard to aim when off centre)

Thanks for the heads up, all I posted was that text link so not sure what BSky did there. Shame they don’t support post editing here like Mastodon

OK I can see how you might shave off some CPU delay time on each end with that, interesting. I was very happy to find the CustomPreSpawnInitalization hook to avoid the Begin*/OnRep race

Object pool pattern? I’ve not heard of this in respect of network latency, only in terms of re-using instances to reduce object instance thrashing

Now with some sounds / fx - and a convenient bin (hole in the ground)

Thanks" I don't get loads anyway but yeah I've had nothing since the day before Fab launched :/

You’ve done very well to last this long on 16GB TBH. I went to 64GB with last year’s upgrade and it pains me deeply that yes, I did actually need it (Unreal)

It was in the early days but they replaced it with their own more specialised engine

It annoys me that they’re trying to sell it as federated whereas all it can do is pull content from federated sources into a totally proprietary network. Kind of like all tech companies are doing to ingest data for proprietary systems usage (ads or LLMs)

Thanks!
UE is great most of the time. It’s nice to be able to read/debug into the engine when I need to, with no limitations unlike Unity. I’ve been using it for about 4 years now. Having to do things the UE way takes a bit of getting used to but once you have its mostly fine. A bit chonky though 🙃

That’s the chasing / combat behaviour, I quite like the alert / investigation behaviour I made with this system as well

Everything else other than SUDS Pro is open source (and in fact the base SUDS is as well) over at my GitHub: github.com/sinbad/

Hi, I work with UE and publish a bunch of plugins (some open source, 1 on the marketplace), can I be on the list?

I do have 2 “worky” things to show here and I guess it can’t hurt to spread the word a bit. But I’m going to be keeping my main musings on Mastodon (see profile) because fool me once etc. Maybe if BSky follows through on full federation I might trust it as a primary but not before then
