THE ADVENTURES OF GORM:
This game is inspired by some of my favorite game, like Wonder Boy, Diablo, Darksiders, Ghost'n Goblins, with a heavy focus on Exciting Combat, and exploration. It will all be combined into a RogueLite experience, where every playthrough will be different.

Hello, I have an idea for a tutorial much like the one in this video. But for interiors of buildings. For example a suburb house. Say I purchased a house model thats only the exterior model off marketplace. I add a Volume(s)? inside the house model and place Doors and Window markers that line up to the exterior building model / texture. And the interior of the house will procedural generate. 1 Hallway. 1 or more rooms, each room must have a door an window. 1 lounge room 1 kitchen 1 Dining room 1 laundry 1 bathroom 1 toilet room 1 Front door "room" < No walls 1 Back door "room" < No walls That Suburb house actor BP etc. I then copy an paste it around in the level. The interior will always be slightly random an different to the other one. Maybe same layout but the room objects can also be placed randomly. Bed against the wall. or in the center?

@@v8matey you should be able to do something like that with the spawn system I did in part 2 Make spawn point for walls, spawn points for furniture against the wall. But you will have to make a lot of specific spawn points, because a table can’t be placed anywhere right..

@bixarrio5251 5 күн бұрын

I've been building dungeons like this for a while (albeit in Unity). I believe elevation is built-in since the exits line up. If you make a room with stairs and put the exit at the top or bottom, the generator should place the next room at the correct place. Another addition is to add rules to the rooms and exits that specify what types of rooms can connect to what exit. So, you randomly pick an exit and then filter the list of available rooms based on the allowed types of the chosen exit. Then pick a room from the filtered list

IF every Dev tutorial explained the process like you, there would be less confusion for new aspiring devs. I was able to use your information and rewrite it in CPP. Thank you for the great tutorial. Just a side note. When you cast to box component, that is the cube you are choosing. To cast to the Box Collision (OverlapBox), you need to select your Box Collison (OverlapBox) in the Components Panel, then search for it in the Event Graph.

@reeanimationgaming1034 24 күн бұрын

Thanks for the kind words ❤️ Are you saying that I’m casting to the geometry box and not the overlap box? But how is it still working then?

@ronb.9850 24 күн бұрын

Yes, saying that though, I haven't tested what your new Collision setting is doing in the Collision presets. I'm still learning myself. And I'm doing this the same way you are at the moment. But, by the way it's set up as is seems to work fine.

I will try to remember to test and comment here later when I have time. After thinking about it, I maybe mistaken that you are casting to the cube component. Either way, it works!

Good suggestion and something I had been playing with but haven't figured out - can you clarify a little? In Master are you creating a custom event, or using the On Component Begin Overlap (Overlap Box) event? I find that overlap doesn't trigger if an actor is spawned on top of another one, only if one of the objects moves. Are you adding any additional code here (like destroy actor?) Thanks!

Very nice totorial, I´ve found it very useful! I wouldn´t use timers to check for a closed dungeon but eliminating exits after an overlap and checking for exits > 0 before placing the next room. Also, overlapping seems not as the best way to make this, as it is easy for begginers to understand, but it´s really resourse inneficcient, I would use some logic check with a 2 dimension array (or 3 for a pro dungeon with different levels) to check for overlapping without generating anything so it doesn´t take so many resourses generating, colliding, eliminating.

I would love to see this things if you plan to expand on this tutorial: - A Boss Room that spawns at the end (like before the closing walls Event) - Some way to avoid the same room spawn 2 o 3 times in a row (I mean 2 its fine, but 3 feels more repetitive) - Maybe an Event for "Unique Rooms" so it spawns one of them always in a Dungeon (Like a Chest Room, Healing Room or a Secret Room) Also Changes I made: - A Custom Start Room: Just made a smaller room similiar to the first one and replaced it in the Start Event. - Rooms with multiple floors: Just Made the walls higher, duplicated the floor (plus added some ramps) and moved the arrows to the elevated exits. Also made the Overlap box height like the height of the walls minus 1.

@CrimsongCatDev 22 күн бұрын

Well I solved the Boss Room, heres how: - Made a Spawn Boss Room Event - This works similar to Spawn Room Event (the first nodes until "Set Latest Spawned Room" and the Object Class is the Boss Room instead of Random) but with a "Check Boss Overlap Event at the end" - Check Boss Overlap works like the Normal Overlap but replacing the Spawn Next Room with Spawn Boss Room and deleting the Room Amount stuff - In the end of this Event i put the Holes Event and the Dungeon Completed Stuff - Finally in the Check for Overlap Event, after Room Amount > 0, I put the Spawn Boss Room Event This might work for Unique Rooms aswell

The only thing I would change is rather than having the reset be based on time, I would have it get the number of rooms and check if the number of rooms created is greater than last time (set to zero at the first time the timer runs.).If it is greater than the last timer run then store the current number. If it isn't greater and dungeon complete is false then call the restart level.

I was doing something like this for my game, but problem from design perspective is that you still want some control over your layout especially if you need certain things to actually appear, not too far not to close from spawn point so I decided to keep layout mostly the same but randomly generate things inside the room. But I believe you can create some integer to count the amount of rooms that spawned and after that to spawn the specific room you need. Also look into hiding rooms(actors) that are for example of 20k units from the player so it doesn't lag the game. Those additions could make for a good part 2 for people using your system.

That is gold right there, at the very begining you already went over most questions I had, I was wondering if you were going to make the second part, like having door lockeds, some kind of path tracing, and most important, how to preserve it in the save game, so you can load it back. I mean, like any basic dungeon game where you can't continuing without a key or press a button, those logics are quite hard to prevent a dead lock or impossible to complete dungeon And it is nice to see the strugle as we usually end up in similar places ourselvs

Thing is. I’m still learning all this myself. And I’m still fumbling around and doing things wrong all the time. It was only because I got this to work so well that I decided to make a video on it. Some thing I can’t do is like making sure that we have a “main path” through the dungeon, or divide it up in sections for example.. I mean, it could be nice to have the dungeon in 3 parts with a locked door in between each section right.. Haven’t tried that out yet. In my own dungeon I’m using stream (seed), so you can get the same dungeon everytime. Which you need for save game and things like that. But I cut that part out to keep it more simple for the viewers here. I could add that in part 2, so you can set a seed for the dungeon. Thanks for watching 🙂❤️

perhaps instead of a timer or in addition - you could make an event that detects overlaps on the exit arrows - if they are colliding with something new - the removed themselves from the list of exits. this would prevent it from looping over a bunch of exits that dont exist. and then eventualy the exit list will reflect the real amount of exits and if you detect the list is 0 length you can declare the dungeon failed and regenerate a new one

Thanks for the tutorial, I admire your determination in getting this working, I'm just thinking, surely there is a more efficient method of spawning rooms right? Did you experiment with different techniques before you found this one? Just seems counterintuitive to spawn rooms, check if they are overlapping, remove them and attempt to spawn another or am I missing something?

@@reeanimationgaming1034 Believe me, you are smarter than I am for bringing this to the table. Unfortunately I don't know a more efficient solution. The only thing that comes to mind is to iterate over a 2D array and assign tiles (Essentially spawn points for rooms), then determine which tiles are occupied and check the adjacent tiles for overlaps before spawning rooms to the empty ones. I have done something similar to this before in C# but Blueprints is still pretty new to me so I have yet to try this out, I'm not sure if it would even work. Food for thought I guess.

I like this a lot, it's so logical and makes so much sense. I have no use for it, but my mind is racing to come up with ideas to distract me from the two projects I'm already distracted enough from lol I just gotta ask, why would you need to clear the overlapped rooms array on the false side of the branch? That makes the logic say "if the array is not empty, clear it. Otherwise, the array is empty, so clear it." It's already empty, I can't imagine a reason you would need to clear an array you have already established is definitely empty.

Great Tutorial, it was/is very helpful. I am however getting hung up when I fill in the holes. It appears that my exit list is of course full of exit arrows 1,2,3 so it seems it is just adding to any Exit Arrow 1,2,3 that it finds which is closing holes that shouldn't be closed. Any thoughts on this?? I'm Using UE5.4 and figured I should also mention I had an issue using Get World Transform and had to take it back to using location and rotation. I found that adding Scale blew the next room way out of proportion size wise.

I don’t think you can put in links in youtube comments. That’s why you don’t see any other comments with links. I don’t know about your problem. Could it be the overlap that is setup wrong? Make sure it’s inside the rooms, and check that it’s ONLY overlapping with “overlap” in the collision. Perhaps even start over, if nothing works 😬 You are the first one that can’t get it to work.. It sounds like you have missed an important step. Are the exit arrows in the exits folder?
