hi man ive done what you said about "turn on cloth tool and restart" well i did that and it still wont show

@@Frizzler go to window > Cloth paint and enable cloth paint. :)

i searched for "cloth" and got 0 results. (this was while using Conan Exiles Devkit).

Let me guess battle royal?

And 4.24 - you need to TYPE the brush value. The slider only goes up to 100. Spent whole night trying to figure out what was wrong. My cloth was just falling up to a point, hitting an invisible plane afterwards.

when i use the wind directional source nothing happens..any ideas? :S

You're welcome :) Thanks for watching!

same for me. doesn't work.

@@jeffreywarf4568 I found a solution where on the Mesh section (where the others are skeleton and Physics section), beside the clothing tab for cloth brush, there is the skeleton tab, right click the Flag_Pole bone and go to remove selected then select From LOD 0 only. Hope this helps.

The way works on 4.23. But when I do the same thing on latest 4.24.2, it does not work.

@@kenshin2430 This worked for me and I'm using 4.24

if you cant start the simulation, try to press reimport mesh button

Hi, thanks :) Definitely give it a go yourself, it's super easy. As for the 'stuttering', this can be fixed just by tweaking the wind settings. Maybe by setting the strength lower and putting the speed up, the motion will smooth out. I'll do a bit more testing and have a look into it, thanks again!

Thank you :) It's gonna be exciting to play around with this some day :)

You can do that in the exact same way as described in the video - as long as the robe or cloak is included in the physics asset of the character, it should work just fine :)

Are u sure u applied different materials to both?

Sounds like a mesh density issue. Add more subdivisions to your mesh to give the cloth more faces to deform. Thanks for watching! :)

Yeah, same problem

same problem

Please see my above post. I had the same problem and wasted a day trying to get cloth simulation to work and then found this workaround on the Unreal community site: forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/content-creation/1724703-4-24-i-can-t-get-cloth-physics-to-do-anything-at-all-need-someone-to-tell-me-what-i-m-missing

Definitely possible! In fact, I'll make a video about it very soon :)

thank you very much

well blender is garbage but I forgive you because you used 3dsmax :D There was an issue I encountered where geometry wouldn't behave properly in UE4 exported from 3dsmax. Basically, if the object is not set as "editable mesh" and then exported as a .fbx you'll have issues.

The simplest way to make the flag interact with other objects is to add those objects to the cloth physics asset. I havent tried doing cloth with transparency, but it should work fine! Hope that helps! :)

Having the same issue, a quite baffling thing I noticed is that if you light up the flag with a spot light for example, you will see that the shadows of the flag will appear as if the flag is moving in the wind, but the actual flag is standing still - this is some next level quantum stuff seemingly happening right here

Yes, delete all and apply only after the paint

Same problem for me. In fact if I create it in 4.23 and then upgrade to 4.24 it still works, but when I do exactly the same steps building in 4.24 from scratch it doesn't work. Anyone have a resolution for this yet please?

I found the following on the Unreal community site, which seems to work. Not very satisfactory but at least there appears to be a workaround. forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/content-creation/1724703-4-24-i-can-t-get-cloth-physics-to-do-anything-at-all-need-someone-to-tell-me-what-i-m-missing

instead of skeleton>mesh>physics i have skeleton>mesh>animation

Hi, thanks! Sounds like you're looking at the physics assets and not the skeletal mesh. If that's not the case, try deleting and re-importing the asset. Let me know if that doesn't work and if you can, send me a screenshot of what you're looking at and I might be able to help further :)

Youre welcome; and i meant at 3.15 of your video, top right you can see the hierarchy skeleton>mesh>phsyics. Mine doesn't say physics but it says animation. I have the physicsasset but its not part of the heriarchy :)

That's interesting... I've got the engine open now and I get skeleton>mesh>physics when I open up all three files; the links at the top right of the screen just switch between which asset component you're handling. If you're seeing 'animation' then my guess is you've imported the skeletal mesh with animations? When I open up UE4_Mannequin_Skeleton (the default third person model) I see skeleton>mesh>animation>blueprint>physics, which is closer to what you're seeing. Either way you should be able to create the cloth simulation as long as you have a skeletal mesh asset. So to sum up, things to consider are importing the asset without animation (and without it automatically creating it's own animation blueprint), making sure it's being imported as a skeletal mesh, and making sure your cloth mesh is grouped to the rest of the asset or rigged to the skeleton you're using. I hope this helps! If you're still running into trouble, let me know. I might need to see it myself to offer anything more specific. edit: Oh another thing it could be is your engine version. I made this tute in 4.19, and (don't quote me on this) the new built-in cloth tech was introduced in 4.16 (I think).

Thanks for breaking it down, you're super helpful!; unfortunately i think it's my version number, i'm only on 4.15 because that's what my uni has (cries), but i have 4.18 installed, i'll give that a go after lunch and get back to you on that one, I thought I was going mad haha :)

The cloth will interact with anything in it's own physics assets.

That's called an animation.

Hmm seems it renders animated, it just doesnt play back in the sequencer :/

It shouldnt be a problem if you use blender - as long as the object hierarchy is the same and you can import the asset as a skeletal mesh, it should work fine. If the objects are directly connected it should work OK as well :) Give it a go! Let me know if you run into problems :)

Import as skeletal Mesh

Could just be a problem with wind direction. Try and rotate the flag or the wind direction component and see if that helps.

Hi, thanks for the comment :) this is an old video now, check my channel page for a remake of this tutorial in a later version of the engine.

@@underscore00 retried with new video what is happing one I create clothing data it look like it work but when I re click to apply clothing data its all grayed out?

@@underscore00 I got it to work but not sure it its right when it son does not look like jacket any more it just cloth and looks really weird like a flag hanging down and when I am playing in the editor its q got ng cloth should there be a way to as tach to third person first then do it ?

I'll have to double check this - there's been 3 point releases to the engine since I made this video so it could just be that the in-engine graphic has changed. So nothing happens when you try to paint? I'll have another look at this and get back to you :)

@@underscore00 Thank you so much for answering so quickly. I know Maya somewhat well so I totally understand the process (making a waving flag was one of the first things I learned in Maya). Thanks again.

adjust the paint value

but that's distance in cm so you need to make sure your scale is correct

or, shift+left mouse button. sorry, i'm finding these out as i go along too

Thanks! :) The cloth will collide with anything inside it's own physics asset, so it will react to the pole, but not with the player. I might revisit this sometime to show how to tweak it to react with the world.

Yeah, that would be really great! Thanks for the video ;)

@@underscore00 Did you ever revisit this to tweak it? This is the first question I had after watching your video (which I appreciate you creating by the way).

Wind only by default, though there's probably a method for getting it to collide with actors

There should probably be a button somewhere somewhen that will make it interact with other actors.

hey, for some reason using the wind directional souce doesnt affect my flag..any ideas buddy?

@@NatesPlayzGamez how i can earase some Areas ? i clicked shif,alt ,ctrl...nothing happend ?!please help

me too..have you found a solution yet? im trying to find one :)

@@NatesPlayzGamez it's ok now. i don't know really what was the problem. i've recreate a new scene, and put the wind in.

It's tested and working in 4.24 :)

@@underscore00 After testing, it can't be implemented in 4.24 version, it can be implemented in 4.18, I don't know if there is a bug in 4.24

@@qianyingqiu8310 I've tested it myself in a fresh project using the tutorial assets in 4.24 and it's worked exactly as it does in the video. I'm not sure why people are having issues with 4.24, but I can assure you, I've tested it myself and it works fine :)
