If the widget already shows when you start game even before reach to collision, go to detail panel of the widget and uncheck Rendering>Visible. I solve the problem with that.

@v8matey Жыл бұрын

You can expand on this extensively. Some ideas. For example. If out of reach the player gets taken over by a.i. to walk closer or around to correct position to pick it up. If player is crouched the a.i. will uncrouch the player an move into position an resume when action completed. The hand ik lines up item when picking up item. Highlight items when looking at them. UI Options slider button for interaction logo icon size an transparency etc. Have child blueprints that have different animations for opening a chest, draw, shelf, doors, fridge etc. And hand ik position is in different spots on child bps.

If you have wanna make it for multiplayer and you have an issue that all players see the widget not just the player hovering the collision here is a solution, SO from the overlapping node, u drag from the " other actor " to "cast to thirdpersonBP" ( your character BP), and from the Cast BP u drag from the node ( as blue print third person character ) and u plug it in " is locally controlled " into branch, if its true set visibility. ( keep in mind for set locally controlled to be found in the search make sure the sensitive context is unchecked ).

This partially also works if the prompt is visible from the beginning (regardless if visibility ticked or not). It may appear that the query collision interacts with something else in the level besides the Character Controler, thus triggering the widget to be visible, so checking if it's the player inside the colliusion helps. I was very frustrated but saw a different solution in your door tutorial - thanks!

@UE5_Tutorials 2 ай бұрын

@@dyarynych Yup, thats why u "cast to the players blueprint" and use the " as blueprint thirdpersoncharacter " so it triggers only with that specific player nothing else

still hoping for a "radial interaction menu, like in games like the sims ou point and click where to interact with a object you have to click on it then a menu with options of interaction appear and based on what you choose it will move to it(if far a way) and do the interaction(with a proper animation if it have.

So in theory the user could click on the building on the screen in a top down format and then the action sequence associated with that input would trigger.

widget always starts visible on spawn even tho I unchecked visible in details panel, do you know what the issue is? //noticed that it only happens on already created blueprints

@renan_ponciano 9 ай бұрын

I Added this to a phisics enable object, when i pull the object to with the body of the player the objects moves but the sphere collision remains in the original place. Maybe, the best idea would be it to create the line trace channel and get the object in the player setting the widget visibility to true for just the object that the player is looking, if the player stop looking or grab the object, you could remove the widget. Of course this is not the only idea and can be done for multiple ways, thanks for the tutorial anyway ,any knowledge shared is is appreciated.

Nice start but you need to mention that this is not yet a usable functionality because if you put two objects close to each other, very weird things will happen.

I'm not nearly as talented and versed as matt,....but in the even node,...maybe disable start with tick enabled. This was your widget doesn't fire off any logic until you use your even on client or server or whatever your calling? It's in the class or default settings of the event node I believe. Not at my computer at the moment

@thedefaultcube1218 Жыл бұрын

Love your short format tutorials and I'm already a Patreon! Quick question, in a multiplayer game with so many replications. Would you recommend less collision spheres and a line trace from the players camera. The interact function could be called in a containers blueprint and instanced from it's master class. I'm building a larger game and looking for scalable solutions. Right now it's using the line trace and calling that function from a containers class. So every drawer in a house, trunk of a car, all that doesn't have a prompt until the player presses E and starts there line trace. Doing so many interactions I don't want to overwhelm the player UI and break immersion, I would like the trace to maybe activate the widget as shown here and give a scroll box in the widget that can be rolled with the mouse button. So the prompt appears after line trace,... Spawns the widget as you've done,...but the scroll wheel will cycle though different selectable actions to start different events through that widget selection Love your stuff bro. Gonna be Implementing a lot of your mechanics soon

@MattAspland Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the support on Patreon! And great point, yes a line trace would be more efficient than a sphere collision if you have lots objects in your level, and if you are on multiplayer too. Your example in the game you are creating makes perfect sense and is definitely a better way of doing it. Huge thanks for your support mate!!

On your overlap events: Stick a branch and true will go to Set Visibility Node Drag of Other Actor and get class From Return Value pin on get class node get equal (==) Select your player class from drop down menu and connect the condition pin to branch Do it for End overlap too, so when you have two items next to each other and you pickup the first one, the text on the second item will not disappear.

But that gives this error: Blueprint Runtime Error: "Attempted to access Widget via property Widget, but Widget is not valid (pending kill or garbage)". Node: Set Visibility Graph: EventGraph Function: Execute Ubergraph Test Interactable Blueprint: Test_Interactable@@MattAspland Edit: I figured it out. It was messy but I basically just added a boolean like "isDestroyed" so just after destroy component I set it to true. And I added branches before "set visibility" after the "on component overlaps" to check if it's destroyed or not. I'd imagine the problem is that when you re-enter the collision area again after picking up your interactable it's trying to set visibility to true but I deleted it so there's nothing to set visibility to. Hopefully my explanation isn't too bad, I've only been working with unreal for a few days!
