Hey guys, in today's video I'm going to be showing you how to create a road system using splines and spline meshes. This video can be used for anything however, not just roads. I will be covering the process of creating a dynamic mesh via splines.

For those who want to make your character walk/run on the roads, put "Set Collision Enabled" node after "Add Spline Mesh Component" and set New Type as "Collision Enabled (Query and Physics)"

To add to Yuuri Shinoda's comment about enabling collisions, in the 3rd person demo, you might realize that the character's feet are falling through the mesh. To fix this, select the "Add Spline Mesh Component" node in your construction script, and disable the "Can Character Step Up On" option, and set the collision preset to "BlockAll".

@jerryatricks4168 Жыл бұрын

Easy and basic, but if I stretch the spline beyond the length of the mesh, it stretches the mesh also. For instance, the length between each spline point should equal the length of the mesh. Go beyond that, and the mesh gets longer, thus distorting it. Isn't there a way to get the spline to automatically add a new spline point whenever it reaches its full length?

@rosenormand2059 11 ай бұрын

Hey did you figure this out ?

@nickharding7078 8 ай бұрын

you could set up a max distance (max segment length ) that you get from your input mesh by collecting the bounds of the mesh and using the x or y depending on orientation. you can then either choose to add a point at the last interval and then move your last point to the distance of your segment. You can take it further if you want to, by adding another variable at the start and call it your input road segments or distance and build straight roads automatically.

For me the min value , you have at 2, had to be set to how every many points my road is. Else it isn't visible. At 2, i get a spline but no road visible. So have set it to the nr very high. Don;t know why it is different, everything else is the same.

Hey! great tutorial bro.. 3.7 meters would be the width of a single lane mate, if you are modeling a two lane road, the mesh width should be 7.5 meters.. well, you could always scale it up on unreal though, but since I believe you were trying to model it using real life sizes

Fantastic tutorial. How would you go about getting an object to ride along several different splines? For instance, lets say the player is in a space ship and they have the choice to fly to planet A, B, or C. Let's say the player clicks 'B', so the space ship knows to then move along spline B down to planet B. The player gets out of the ship, explores planet B for a bit, and then returns to the space ship with the desire to travel to planet C. Now back in the space ship, the player clicks 'C', and the space ship then moves along a spline that travels from planet B to planet C. All of the splines would be interconnected with all of the destinations, so the player could freely pick which one they want to move along, and the ship will travel there. Does that make sense? How would you do something like that, and would you use splines?

You should maybe put invisible collision box around the cars and when they touch that box, it will activate some "stop" action. It's just my opinion :)

As I've seen other tutorials like this, to easily create rails, pipes and stuff along the splines, but why would you use is for creating roads? As Unreal Engine has this feature already covered in their landscaping mode, where it even automatically adjusts the landscape if you lower or raise the road.
