Unreal Engine C++ Fundamentals - Using Spline Components

- Today we are going to take a look how to use Spline Components and modify their various properties to allow us to specify custom materials as well as determine how meshes are attached to the spline.
For this tutorial you will want to grab the started project from the links below as well as see a bit more detail in the blog post.

After a long time mate. Good to see you back 😊
Thanks friend, no COVID in my life but I did have a few distractions. More to come :)
Yeeey a fresh video from Jolly Monster!
Glad you are enjoying the content, thanks for tuning in !
Great Tutorial !
Awesome, thank you so much for this!
Do you think this could be applied to landscape generation?
Your videos are extremely valuable!!
Really awesome Tutorial! It really helped. Thank you so much.
This was really helpful, thanks!
Glad to see you again. Just have 2 questions:
1. Why have you switched to ReSharper instead of VisualAssist?
2. Could you please make the font size of preview images(the white one, with a theme name) slightly larger because it is hard to see even from PC?
Hi there, I switched over to ReSharper as I find their intellisense and refactoring tools to be much faster and easier to work with. I also have a lot of experience with other JetBrains products so having access to all those same shortcuts is really nice but primarily the usability and speed.
Regarding the font size, good point I will try to make things a bit more legible ! Thanks for tuning in.
@@JollyMonsterStudio No problem! Thank you so much for your content, it's extremely high quality, a pleasure to watch!
@@JollyMonsterStudio don't know if you tried it already but jb has this rider fork for unreal www.jetbrains.com/lp/rider-unreal/ (they gonna merge it with the current rider eventually this year but you can try it right now)
Yes sir running it right now. Big fan of jetbrains products so it's great to see more dedicated unreal tooling from them.
Great tutorial
Thx a lot
Thank you so much
Hi, it wont let me switch to the translate tool to actually use the spline as intended, Only the mesh appears and I can't do anything with it
can i give inputs manually like i have 2d coordinates like (1,2,) , (4,5) etc ?
I have a problem, how can I make the spline be scaled independently at each point?
splineMesh->SetStartScale(FVector2D(ss.Y, ss.Z));
splineMesh->SetEndScale(FVector2D(es.Y, es.Z));
This only seems to work in the editor. When you package or cook the project, the spline mesh is missing. I tried checking Allow CPUAccess and Override Construction but it did not work. Have you come across this problem?
I figured it out. The OnConstruction code should be moved to a function and called both in OnConstruction and BeginPlay.
Hi! Amazing video!!!
Quick question, I have overidden OnConstruction Function and created the code there to create spline component.
Here, I implemented to create splineActor by spawning the actor on clicking plugin button. But since Onconstruction Function is called only when the actor is dragged and dropped to the viewport. I wish to spawn the SplineMesh on viewport through a plugin I'm creating.
I wish to call Onconstruction function it when spawning the actor. Is there a way to call it from SpawnActor?
Hi there, I am not sure if you can directly have SpawnActor or GEditor->AddActor retrigger the OnConstruction but you can reference RerunConstructionScripts which should force that operation. docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/GameFramework/AActor/RerunConstructionScripts/index.html
Hope that helps
@@JollyMonsterStudio Thank you very much your reply. I'll give it a try. :)
@@JollyMonsterStudio Another quick question, can I create an array of Spline components (not spline points) depending on the number we input. For an example if we want 5 separate Spline components, to create them in different names inside same Blueprint Actor with different names without adding one by one manually in the header and implementing in .cpp :). Waiting eagerly for a reply :D
I would be interested to see generating instances (anything ex. Cubes) and moving them each frame in C++. Or if anyone knows an example of that with a recent UE4 build.
Hmmm perhaps some sort of platform that moves along spline .... Hmmmm.... Maybe soon ? 😉
gives me errors if i try to change directory??
