Sorry, skip, but I personally find black women to always be ugly until they're mixed to the point they might as well be white like Halle Berry. Painting Zoe Saldana green didn't fix her face

So I'm starting to learn Blender in order to make a Resident Evil clone in Unreal 4. I have some experience with Source modding, but that was almost entirely brush-based. Right now I'm trying to get my head around the work flow for making a level entirely out of imported models.

>Want to make a house
>Build the layout of the house in Blender
>Model/texture all the walls/floors/furniture
>Export each piece as a separate model
>Import all the pieces into Unreal 4 then stick them back together

Am I on the right track? I think I read that I can do it in such a way that all the individual models will be in the right place once I do the Unreal 4 import. I'm guessing the best thing to do would be to make a lot of "modular" building pieces that can be re-used, but since my game is basically just a house I can probably get away with more expensive modeling practices.

dd11 feedback; tweaking character sprites to make them pop out more
i might need some heavier modifications and outline is too much, but you said no cleaning up

>>160041186
Anon you made them pop out LESS by making the outline blend in with the background color.

So, I'm working on an engine. I'm not falling into the trap of making an engine before a game, I'm making an engine just cause I want the experience.

Idk if anyone here would really have experience with this, but I figured it might be worth a shot. What is a reasonable way to build player/AI-controlled objects into my nice physics simulator that I've finished? I'd like to keep all my collision resolution in the physics engine, but the issue is that player movement essentially means setting velocities when different inputs are detected, which screws up the physics calculations.

>>160041220
pretty much yeah, might need some other contrast boosting too
btw you're fast

>>160041028
If there's a breed worse than CUTE-spastics it's OP picture-spastics.

Truly despicable.

>>160041498

>they are therefore evil and must be shunned

You made Trump possible.

>>160041135
you can build the entire level in brushes, get everything right, delete the brushes (optionally keep their collision) and replace with static meshes.

that's how epic does it, so their level designers don't have to wait for artists.

seeing as you're doing both, it depends on what you want to focus on first.

>>160041657

It's stuff like this that made me vote for Trump instead of not voting like I did for the last two elections

Help me decide this, /agdg/. TPS or FPS? I have a basic setup: just some wizard who kills monsters or ghosts in a comfy forest. However, when I play an FPS, I want to make it an FPS, but when I play with a third person view game or an RTS, I find it fun to jump around and walk around with the characters, which makes me want to model the main character and watch him from behind his shoulders.

How should I decide this? Usually I want everything to serve the core game play mechanics, but now as I see both ways are possible.

Right but what if the plane being "split" is entirely behind the second plane?
I want to make it not so that it's split by the colission, but that it's split based upon what's BEHIND the plane. In other words, if that first plane were to be completely behind the second one, the red quad would be the entire plane.

There was a study done with a wasp that lays its eggs in a spider. The wasp drags the spider to a burrow, inspects the burrow, and drags the spider in.

So scientists moved the spider from the burrow while the wasp was inside. The wasp came outside, dragged the spider to the burrow and inspected it again. This was repeated hundreds of times with no deviation in behavior.

Shadow looks like チンポ... I think.

So I'm making a 2D shooter (top down).

Right now I have it so cover works like a percent chance. Low cover will block 25% of shots that hit it, medium goes 40%, etc.

Should I keep like this or do it by damage reduction? If the bullet passes through cover (that isn't the cover the bullets shooter shot from) it's damage is reduced by 20%, 40%, etc?

I would love to hear your opinions

I think the only way to disable mouse input is to write your own Input Module component in the EventSystem gameobject to replace the Standalone Input Module, which is what I did.
I can give you the code, if you like.

That kinda depends on the rest of the game. How bulletspongy are your mobs? How spongy is the player? Will a bullet still take away 40% health when reduced by heavy cover? If you use high damage bullets, maybe making cover absorb all damage but being destructable seems more suitable?

Yeah I am, I'm finishing up shooting AI since I had to take a few day break cause of exams but I remember someone said something on my cover so I wanted some opinions.

I'll just try it and see what works. I pretty sure that units will be a little tanky, but units can also have armor. So if I make it reduce damage by a percent, then armor is slightly less effective.


Thank you tho I appreciate it

So seriously what's the best way to incorporate multiple outfits into a game?

Say I wanted to have a character that can change between multiple outfits at certain points. Do I need to modify the actual character model or is there some other method? I'm talking things that aren't just textures.

>>160048379
I'm not disabling the cameras, but render is called manually and it's only called on onwillrender.

The onwillrender function filters for the main camera as well.

It doesn't lag when you're not looking at them, but when you ARE looking at them even through walls it triggers.

I'm using VR and forward rendering if that changes anything.

In C#, with Unity, is there a way I can seal the .AddComponent() function so I can't access it from my code? I want to create a manager/wrapper function that will also call some initialization/loading functions on whatever components I create, so I don't want to be able to accidently forget and skip that call and call AddComponent() directly

I'm thinking something like use an extension method to override the existing signature, but add a private modifier? Is that possible?

Huh, that looks correct. The messaging system should just take the input module that's on there.
Is it not taking any input at all? Or is it still talking mouse input? Maybe try deleting the Standalone Module from that gameobject instead of just disabling it.

Why are shaders so difficult? Holy shit.

>>160051106
not even the unity devs understand how to use unity

>>160051106
Because that's what you need for an ECS, not necessarily for dynamic creation BUT because of this you can easily dynamically create objects by attaching components, it just requires some work.

>tfw rigidbody is so shit that you have to literally make enemy get thrown in the air by an explosion LITERALLY IN BLENDER

>>160049540
Hmmm maybe you Raycast isn't working as you intended?

For example maybe yo're claling render (manually) whenever you ray cast from main camera, but you're raycast is set to infinity so it hits the other portal as well.

In this case you would just break the first time you hit an object with the tag portal;

>>160050737
Some of the loading logic requires that other objects complete their loading first, also Unity seems to call Awale() and Start() way more often than I expect it to, especially when loading between scenes

>>160050527
>>160050579
>>160050737
>>160050859
What I ended up doing was creating an extension method for AddComponent(), so it adds the component, and then if the component is one of the types that has loading, it calls it. So it shouldn't affect other code that uses AddComponent()

>>160051361
As in the shadows don't look right on the object or the object isn't casting the right shadow?

>>160051474

It's good to see your progress again, I see you're still adding more novel mechanics to your game

>>160051231
I'm not raycasting at all for rendering purposes.

I'm rendering the portals when OnWillRender is called and the camera is the main one (I.E. the VR eye)

If I was ray casting, then the wouldn't render unless the center of your viewport was hitting them. As far as I know, OnWillRender is supposed to be called after the culling step.

Would the fact that the portals are on a different layer from everything else affect anything?

Good to hear! I manually set my selected game objects and don't really use controller controls, so I didn't consider that it might be a bit buggy.
There are some resources about writing your own module, but using the standalone as a base and editing in/out what you need from there seems like the easiest way imo.
Good luck!

I'm trying to get buttons to change color when they're moused over. I know these events fire because I tested with printString.

I even just straight hooked up Constructed to one of the set functions and it still didn't work. In that even when the widget was constructed it still refused to have any effect.

I looked online for help with this function and the help I found told me it should have worked.

>>160052828

Also, as I was talking about earlier, culling doesn't happen if other cameras (that aren't disabled) are looking at the object

>>160053072
Yes, really.

If Unity lets you do things like C# reflection, how does it also let you build to targets like consoles? Does it translate reflection code into something that works on other platforms? Or is it going to break?

>>160053362
Rust could really benefit from monads like Haskell does them. try! is good enough for the mean time before HKTs are supported (if ever).

And I don't even find unwrap calls to be that bad, it's just an assertion that I am providing valid inputs and even a potential hint for optimization. I like this kind of thing.

It's also encouragement to use types to design APIs that can't fail at runtime whenever possible.

>>160053045
Disregard, I am a gigantic retard. I finally really took a second to understand the tooltip for the button

Actually changing the button color requires use of the SetBackgroundColor function, SetColorAndOpacity only affects the content of the buttons, not the buttons themselves

ho hum
Then again it might not be that at all because for some goddamn reason even with occlusion culling baked (kind of strange actually, it baked INSTANTLY) the portals are still "visible" through the ground.
Then again, occlusion culling shouldn't be the answer to the question when OnWillRenderObject is being called for 0 reason even with no cameras looking at the object itself.

Holy hell, unity LITERALLY does not have any way of detecting whether or not an object is visible.

The best solution is to "raycast and then check if it hits" which is abso fucking lutely retarded because that won't work when the object isn't covering the center of your screen

Anybody have any ideas as to how I could detect whether or not an object is being rendered by a particular camera?

"unity how to detect if object is rendered camera"

There are lots of different solutions

>>160057970
pos? You mean position?
that wouldn't help me much at all. I can detect if the position (or the bounds) are inside the frustrum but there's 0 way of detecting if the object is behind something or if only part of it is visible.

>>160058112
Been doing that all day, mate. None of them actually work.
You can detect if the object is within the camera's frustrum, but you can't tell if it's behind an object. Even OnWillRenderObject lies and claims that any given Camera.current is rendering even if that camera is totally occluded from the object.

ah so this is the power.... of unity....

>>160058261
raycast from screen/camera to object center/bounds after checking?

that should work unless the camera is clipping inside the object, but there are ways around that too.

essentially:

if (within frustrum)

if raycast(screen, object position - screen, out hit, long distance)

if(hit.gameobject == goalObject)

object = visible

fully implemented a health system that i'm happy with

for comparison previously the way it worked was if you took damage you would drop one of your abilities. the problem with this system is it's very binary and losing an ability is boring because you have to either backtrack to get it again or id have to put the relevant powerup everywhere in the level you might need it

the way it works now is each orb has its own regenerating bar, but if the bar is brought to 0 the ball cracks and can no longer protect you from damage. so if you manage to crack all the balls and take damage, you die. but the key is the balls still provide you with their ability when fully regenerated, even if it's cracked. so backtracking because of making a mistake and getting hurt isn't an issue anymore, and there's now functionality for low damage/ damage over time

>>160058773
There are basically three possibilities if you want something more accurate:
1. Do several raycasts to different parts of the object. You'll want to vary these randomly with time to get better coverage.
2. Do an occlusion query with a low-fi version of the scene. This will have latency and I don't even know if you can do it in Unity.
3. Do your own accurate occlusion culling. This will likely be inefficient as occlusion culling is supposed to be able to give false positives to run faster.

Anybody here have experience with Adventure Game Studio?

if 100% accuracy is a must then you have to check if the objects AABB is within the given cameras frustum

>>160058773
a more specific term for what you want is whether the object is occluded

there are different solutions depending on what degree of accuracy you're looking for

"Note that the object is considered visible when it needs to be rendered in the scene. For example, it might not actually be visible by any camera but still need to be rendered for shadows. When running in the editor, the scene view cameras will also cause this value to be true."

check the nearest corners of the bounds then as well

Been talking to my girlfriend about sorting algorithms for an hour and now I think she hates me. She suddenly got "very tired" and was "going to sleep" at 9 PM.

>>160059584
did you mention bogosort

I mean yea its boring shit to normies but if you can't get at least a smile out of bogosort then you should check if your girlfriend is real/alive/loves you/isn't a dog

>>160059584
time to ditch her
relationships are a two-way street, but all she wants is your manna

>>160058571
just change the transform opposite from the explosion source

>>160059809
I did, it's the first one I mentioned, she said it was stupid!

>>160059802
when it boils down to it, everything you do is to impress others
next time you really enjoy something, whether it is a movie, a game, or anything else, try to bottle it up and to not talk about it to anyone for a month

>>160059153
Wouldn't that return true even if the object is occluded, though?

>>160059160
Could you humor me with some of them?
I got fucking tricked by unity's claim that
>"The function is called during the culling process just before rendering each culled object"
for OnWillRenderObject() which seems like a flat-out lie


>>160059326
>>160058773

I suppose this is my only option, thanks. It just seems so... primitive. I seriously didn't think that detecting whether or not an object was visible would be even remotely hard.

How's Unity controller support?

Is it easy to set up? A pain in the ass? Should I even bother?

>>160060015
dump her now

It's really easy to set up, but you shouldn't bother.

>"Your game is unoriginal. It's just ____ mixed with ____"

How the fuck do you respond, lads?

>>160060297
how else?
"where's your game?"

>>160060297
"Yeah but it's fun."
Originality is overrated

>>160060062
you'd have to follow that up with raycasts to determine if it's occluded, but you already have the 6 planes of which you only need the near plane. On the near plane you have 6 points(top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right, center)

from the center you can calculate where the other points are and cast rays from those.

So it's an easy set up. Any compatibility problems or issues that I should know about ahead of time?

Thanks senpaitachi. Have some booty.

>>160060062
something really whacky: you could do some sort of masking thing where the object in question uses a color not used in the rest of the scene, then check the pixels of the rendered for that value.

>>160060134
it has cross platform input for different platforms
and you can easily alias any number of keys or buttons into a single "fire" "accept" "cancel" etc. so it works with gamepad/keyboard
