@@Excal-man good call yeah, melee in general to preserve ammo and that last second 'don't bite me' feeling

@@lowkeygamedev like project zomboids shoving

Heya, so we use advanced sessions, its freeware online and really speeds up connecting to each other! For the replication its blueprint scripting with some components that handle replicated 'equipped item' and sending 'use/stop use' events over the network for item usage like weapon firing and melee swinging. All aiming is done via the native control rotation replication.

@@lowkeygamedev nice is there much latency?

@@Excal-man In our first test no, we ramped the net update rate all the way down, and because they are so simple regarding move speed and direction there was very little discrepancy between client and server, no rubber banding etc. We are doing a test of the 'week 2' work today, so we will see!

@@lowkeygamedev nice i hope it goes well

@@lowkeygamedev how did you learn all of that I'm only a beginner to coding

@@PretendCoding I have this blue snowball, ramped to 100% and I can't seem to get reliable voice on obs. I might just re-record

@@lowkeygamedev It's not like I can't hear you, it's just quiet and I have to raise the volume a lot on my pc. I use Kdenlive for my video edits, and in there you can raise the volume of a specific audio channel. If you're unsure how to get different audio channels in obs, you should be able to find the info you need with a "setting up obs for streaming" tutorials, I think that's how I figured it out.

What would you like to see! :)

Cheers! Would you like to see more of anything in the game! I plan to do some more videos 😀

@@lowkeygamedev loved to see salt raider and orcishfences in thé trailer

Thanks 😊 ten days until release!! Spread the hype beans! 🫘

you can put a flipbook texture (atlas) directly into a regular material, set it to UI domain, and place a 'flip book' node, set parameters as neccesary

@@lowkeygamedev thank you for the infomation. I'm going to look into that tonight. I decided to crate my own animation in unreal to get rid of the buttons. And then convert the flipbook animation to a mp4. And then play the mp4 after the buttons are gone to avoid having to sync the buttons up. Roundabout af. But it works and looks pretty good. Kinda of like old games did I guess and suits what I need. But doesn't feel correct. I use materials usually for sprite animations but I need this one to play just once. I just haven't found a use for flipbooks. Thanks again.

Thanks! I would love to

It's the tools that make unreal sick to work with, lumen is on too, I'll post a cine camera render in a bit

multiply the move speed by delta seconds.

czcams.com/video/3v0QDx4L3No/video.html Hi, Try this one

Unreal Engine is a 3D game engine, and it has a Paper2D tool inside. Here I use the Paper2D tools from Unreal Engine 4, in a top down perspective, and apply a navigation mesh. This will generate on any collision surface in a top down (z -) direction.

​@@lowkeygamedev But I'm making a 2D game in Unreal right now. In fact, I followed a few of the plethora of tutorials on youtube on how to make a "2d platformer in unreal". My game is basically done, 100% 2D. I do think Unreal doesn't really cater for 2D anymore, apparently there were actual 2D templates in earlier versions of Unreal but was removed starting with UE5, when I started my journey. I'll stick with the "add movement input" controls that is currently working for my 2d enemies, Thanks for the reply, appreciated!

@@fnanfne good luck with the project, I'm not sure about ue5 for 2D either sorry, but for what it's worth, if you want 'out the box' navigation you need to just orient your Flipbooks and tilemaps to face upwards in the z because navmesh generated downwards only by default :)

@@lowkeygamedev Hehe, I actually did that back when I had problems making a minimap. I flipped the whole level about the X axis but this actually caused many problems with movement, physics and gravity so had to scrap that idea. I found a tutorial how to flip the axis in the engine itself, importing and exporting program files and will try these hacks with my next project.

@@fnanfne Hey fnanfne, do you mind sharing the tutorial please? I have the same problem and changing axis in engine would be the way. Thanks

Hi, I'd like to return to it, what are you looking for?

@@lowkeygamedev I would love a part #2 to this 😍. Or any other Destiny UI would be great too😃 Thanks for the reply!

I Found my answer. You can put the action input to check if you can crouch, if it's true, you set a variable of Is crouching to true and when not pressed to false. The crouch/ uncrouch function is not needed.

did you fix this? I am having collision issues where the character falls through followed the tutorial but the player just falls through anyway.

@@narrgamedesigner2747 Make sure you check that your character is using Flying movement, and gravity is set to 0 or whatever. In terms of the black screen I am still getting on every version of the project I try,. Dynamically spawning in my assets on game creation is fixing it. But, this means I lose the ability to utilize the editor to create my levels.

did you ever fix this as I am having camera issues where the camera moves instead of the player.
