Literally so simple and straight to the point. 9 minutes instead of these 30 minute to 1 hour videos I see explaining useless info. Bravo and thank you.

Hey, so I really appreciate that this tutorial shows how to make a really reusable blueprint that considers how not to warp a mesh. But it would be really helpful if there was an update which showed the process of creating the blueprint, so we could see the local variables being made, how you got a static mesh variable with a brick image, and more! I'm sure those who are more new to blueprints would also appreciate seeing how variables are made and how their type is changed! Again, the blueprint is great, it would just be helpful to see more of the process!

Amazing video. I had originally made a simple BP and I had to eyeball the length of each spline point so that it wouldn't stretch. This BP is fixes that issue entirely. Thank you!!

@kekdot how do you solve for distorted meshes that some users see? The pipes you have all bend and contort nicely, but when I tried to reproduce your results, my meshes don't turn and rotate properly.
@coconutfriedshrimp 9 ай бұрын
had the same issue, I changed the pivot point of my static mesh and made sure it was centered on all the axis on maya (x,y,z), it solved my problem. And make sure you have enough edge loops on your mesh, otherwise it wont bend nicely.

Hi Kekdot, and thanks for this great tutorial. I have a question though, I hope you have a short time to answer it, it'd be a nice addition to your already great work. So here it is: When you enable your Spline Mesh Component collisions, how do you get its hit or overlaping results. I promoted the created Component to variable and used its hit and overlap nodes, they never seem to react to anything. Other object react well to the spline mesh, being corrctly blocked or physicaly bounced, but I can't get the the spline itslef to react. Other objects actually seems to react to the mesh iterations, not the spline mesh component. So, how would you do to get the spline component to let's say emit a sound when it's hit by something?

Thanks for solution! As we know -in common 3d-editor - like maya or 3ds max - we can smooth spline or rebuild it that means that instead 5 point inside we will get 10 ones - can we do it in Unreal engine? What operations can i do with spline in UE?

But the real problem is when i try to make the spline go horizontally it breaks the mesh and start to rotate the mesh in strange ways

Hi, I faced such a problem when I use a spline, it deforms the meshes that I selected. For example, if I chose a cube, the spline will only spawn one side of the cube, and when I use a sphere, for example, spline flattens it. Could you help me to solve this problem thanks in advance)

Pretty good solution. You can make another public variable(ESpline Mesh Axis) in order to make the same blueprint compatible with all axis. You would have to make the variable i just said, connect it to the "Set forward axis" and at the beginning at the branch "Is scallable" on true add a switch with this new variable and and set Selection length for each actor scale
@rossgribben4870 Жыл бұрын
my solution was to add a select node after get actor scale 3d and use the in forward axis enum as the wildcard, very clean with no extra variables. edit: i misunderstood your comment at first but will leave this here as another good way to add to the bp

@tomwilliams6483 7 ай бұрын
UnrealityBites has a series on Building Structures that includes building a tunnel along a spline. He talks about making the tunnel walls capable of collision so you can walk inside them like a tunnel but not through them like walls. I think it's what you want. I believe it's somewhere around #8 in the series, give or take a few. Worth watching the lot just to understand how it works.

@ilarinikkarikoski4765 Жыл бұрын
I hope you found your answer back in the day, but for any other beginners here's how. You create that "BP_SplineBase" like shown and instructed on the video. Then you create a child blueprint of that, which you then drag into a level. When blueprint's variables are set true for "expose on spawn" and "Instance editable", you then see those settings and can alter them inside the level editor.

Does your mesh have more than 4 vertices in it? If it’s just a plane (four vertices), you don’t have enough subdivisions to make it happy.
