this is arguably the best spline corridor tutorial on youtube at the moment. I'm mildly surprised though that you didn't include ways of having the floor, wall and ceiling at the end on a single spline. cloning splines all over the place gets a little odd. or the ability to change individual parts of the spline... like one wall segment into a wall-door segment.

Loved the tutorial. I only have one problem. The Section Length Coef variable is not being set. I found that I still have to set it manually after placing it in the Details Panel for the Spline BP. I followed along recreating what you created, besides the color swapping and mesh switching. This is the deforming one.

Hey! There's actually a better way to set the static meshes that doesn't require all that hardcoded switching. Use the select node, it's ultra useful for a LOT of stuff, not just meshes. here's a link to the basic setup, it's pretty straight-forward imgur.com/a/W0cMd8g I hope that helps :D

Or you could add an array of static meshes and expose it in the editor, then get one by meshIndex from there. imgur.com/vv2eYHl Actually, this might be bad for performance as you're storing references to multiple static meshes that might not be used. But it's pretty convenient.

Hi, was wondering . Is there a way to prevent the constructionscript from re-running each time the actor is moved/duplicated? Been trying to work with splines but finding that mass-duplicating/moving many splines makes the editior have extreme lags. The only solution i can come up with is using "call in editor" and a custom function instead.

Great Video man! SUBED! Thank you! I'm working on a wooden fence, is there a way to change the section length so the mesh can intersect with other meshes on the spline? So it's not just added after the bounding box of the mesh? I hope this question makes sense! was hard to put into words!
@PendingKill3 жыл бұрын
Hi Ted! Yes you can, in the construction blueprint where you can define the section length, simply add another float to the min and max values called "min modifier" and "max modifier" and add a positive or negative value. Of course, make them public so you can edit them in real time. I have had the same issue with cave meshes in another project where i needed them to intersect. Cheers!

Could you please make a tutorial on how to add branch points to a spline? I haven't found a single tutorial on how to do it, for example to create a vein with the branching smaller veins, all procedural using an array of random meshes, or at least 3 static mesh nodes each with a different mesh.
@PendingKill3 жыл бұрын
We don't really have experience with branching splines. I found a few google search results, including some Unreal Engine documentation on branching landscape splines docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Engine/Landscape/Editing/Splines/index.html But other than that it doesn't seem to be a built-in engine feature. There are some threads on custom solutions that you may want to check out.

This is a good tutorial. But I have issues as I am trying to make a procedural fence But all the spline mesh methods deform my fence panels, I want to make it so the spline points are always straight and the panels can only rotate from there pivot point. Also if I use the mesh bounding box it prevents my meshes from getting close enough to link correctly. Any advice.

If you change the section length (see 4:11 timecode) and subtract a bit from the output of the subtract node (i.e. right before the Set Section Length Coef node) you should be able to make the meshes overlap.

Hi!! I have some meshes like fences, that the point in what it joins one with each other is less than the total length of the mesh, and I'd like to add some offset to the meshes to fix this, but can't achieve this no matter what I try. Could you give me a clue, please? Sorry for my bad English

Hi - at 04:25 you can see the code labeled "After mesh is determined, calculates section length". You can try adding offsets to the output of the Break Box node, or to the subtraction node. This should modify the spacing of the meshes.

That is because there are several ways to build levels. This is my preferred method as it gives me a lot of control over repeatable assets. You can also apply this to 2 and 2.5D games with repeatable unit backgrounds. However, I have met and worked with folks that like to literally built it all in Maya or Blender and then reimport it. It works just as well too and depending on your familiarity with the modeling software you can probably do a better job. It may also be better in terms of draw calls but i digress.

But they do not instance landscape spline as well, which is a built-in tool for making large scale road network. It is weird because in vertex shader you can only use either spline or instanced static mesh at the same time but not both. Same thing goes to landscape component. It is totally doable since UE will automatically instance meshes using the same materials.
