i hope to there is tons of stuff to cover but ill terrible at remembering to do videos haha

Oh well, ive found it. In case someone has the same problem. You need to create an Editor Utility Blueprint, not a standard bluepint.

On pc atm you cant really tell the difference between plugged as it just detects gamepads at least this plugin by itself but i imagine combined with the dualshock plugin you could get it working pretty easy. There is also a new Windows Game input plugin coming that might help i havent looked into it

haha great advice. I agree i rushed this when i make the video it was more to show off the feature when it was added to the editor and it wasnt fully finished and i had planned to make a updated Video and a real attempt at making it a tutorial and not just an overview for people that discovered it while it was only in the source build. I hope to get to that depending on when 5.4 fully releases if it has enhanced input+common ui working correctly along with a demo

i believe that is correct unless something has changed recently ie 5.4

no because landscape gets compiled down for runtime. but i have seen some community Nanite displacement stuff that i imagine you could use in the long run. twitter.com/phyronnaz/status/1764068615072989580 :D they said they might be open source so it might end up being something to use

I generally just use V to snap to vertex and end key to snap to ground. The editor does have a surface snap button you can enable but it has an align to number checkbox that tmight be what your using already. Overall the direction will be based on the rotation of the model when you imported it

a decal isnt a mesh and primitive data is saved inside mesh. You could use mesh decals if you really need the ability to use CPD with them

you need your material to be setup with a Variable thats set to Custom Prim Data and then get your static mesh. Then use the Set custom Primitive Data Float/vector depending on the type of data your setting and just make sure your Data index is correct. Say your using a Float thats only going to take up that Index its assigned to a Vector it will be based on the size of the vector you pick so make sure its correct in the material.

Here im using the water built into UE its setup for an addition opacity mask and im just comparing the custom depth stencil value to mask things out. Most the time games use this or distance fields most the time with stencil you might have to make an inside an outside of your model so you dont for instance see no water around your model. simonschreibt.de/gat/black-flag-waterplane/#comment-1067 if you go here and scroll down in the updates section they talk about both methods and explain it. Feel free to ask any questions if you want to know more :D

Wow that's exactly what I wanted to know, thank you!! :) great work, by the way!@@VolkillerGames

sorry for that blame the ADHD and me not spending enough time editing things haha. Anyway if there is anything you need help with feel free asking here or on my discord and ill try to walk you through it. ill also look for the files i used here and post them if i can.

Thats the plan these streams where of me working on a template i plan on using to show off common UI more and to release free for anyone to use. I do have an older video on common UI that goes over some things but i plan on replacing it with the new video Since i glance over some things people wanted to know more about and i suck at editing haha so i hope to make it better/clearer for people. Hope it helps for now if its needed if not feel free to ask questions here or for a faster response on my discord th-cam.com/video/q05jmFyeb0c/w-d-xo.html

same idk how you would do it and have it be clean/not confused with other things thought. like overall you could make functions or custom events that you call to minimize somethings or collapse nodes but they always seem messy somehow haha

i dont believe there is but you can mix and match and still use assets not marked common ui or wrap it in a common Activatable widget is that something with the combobox you would want added to it? most the common ui stuff is setup to add common stuff to widgets like auto loading images etc

@@VolkillerGames I wanted to create a reusable component. For example with child of regular button for some reason I don't have even a click event. Child of common UI button have click event and ability to change style easily. Now I see that even a child of regular combo box/spin box have all needed events so it's fine for me.

IDK if you ever figured this out or if this is even in the right direction but, Common Activate UI has a function you can override called something like Input config might be able to find something in there or changing the widget stack from menu to game hopes it helps sorry for the late reply youtube doesnt send me notifications when there is a comment

i agree this was done a while ago and now this setup is changed from the beta and supports Enhanced input as well as some other ui changes i keep meaning to update this video or release a template menu system

This is a great question i dont atm have a controller that doesnt use Xinput so im not 100% of the best way but you can set up multiple gamepads(or any other) in your common input settings in project settings that alone might work but if not on input method changed you can get gamepad name and set it manually using set input action or possibly another event i know overall it should be possible. i do plan on making an updated video to this now that the feature has changed a bit so ill add this on my list of things to look into for that

@@VolkillerGames Thx. I set up two controller data sets in the Project Settings. The one in index[0] in the project settings works as 'Generic'. I can't figure out how to "activate" index[1] for example it just appears to be ignored at the moment :/... Also, I could get the current gamepad name in Blueprint but couldn't find a way to set it. That might work if you can name Gamepad #2 to something other than 'Generic' and set it active

make sure you name it correctly so it binds the events you can see under widget binds it adds a checkmark other bits of this system have changed since i made this i plan on making a new video at some point

these were setup not to really change in this early build as ui buttons tend not to ever change but since i made this they added enhanced input support and that has built in player remapping and input actions are easier to work with imo

When this was created you couldnt really remap with it as its meant for UI input which isnt changed in a game ie you dont want players to break esc opening pause. BUT since this they have added enhanced input support so you can use your enhanced inputs directly so it would just read what is shown, it showing keyboard is as easy as adding the icons for the keys in the data table you set in the input settings That is what the "controller data" types you setup do they store the icons you want shown based on the button you add them to and set the control type inside it ue will then automatically switch it when it detects a change and it will default to keyboard/mouse if that is what you set as the platform default

@@VolkillerGames When did they add enhanced input for this?

@@vegitoblue2187 5.2 you have to enable it in settings it comes along some beta enhanced input stuff for player configurable data that is still being worked on.

i had released an early version of it but its been removed im planning on updating these videos now that common ui is more complete and supports enhanced input and in turn enhanced input player mappable remapping so it makes things even easier

@@VolkillerGames yes, please remake this video and don't skip anything 🙏

the editor scripting tools are for editor time only. What is it that you want to be able to do at runtime? for most of this its the same but a standard bp and like using umg instead of the Scripting hud

did you setup your controller data settings, other then that make sure your Input action widget is named corrected so it binds you can make sure its bound by looking at the bind widgets window and under the widget name you will have a checkmark. you can also use on input method changed to make sure its being used

Never mind. question answered lol.

sorry didnt see this youtube comments are not shown right away sometimes glad to see you got an answer. FYI for anyone else reading this your assets will show grey or unloaded when using world partition so open up the world partition editor window from under window/world partition and then left click select the area you want loaded and then right click load selected regions
