Fireballs? I love to experiment with Unreal Engine MetaSound, it started to give me the same feeling of experimentation as the Unreal Engine materials

New day, new MetaSound Patch. I made 10 yesterday. I'm starting to feel like a sound designer. When there's no electricity, Unreal Engine is still for me to create sounds on my laptop

I love this texture, Area 51, I have it for experimenting with Unreal Engine materials. Here I generate a normal map, add cells, a lot of metal and it looks like a tin can. This is for the apocalypse setting, food, etc.
There's been no electricity all day, so at times like these, Unreal Engine is for me in the context of MetaSound to stretch the charge of my laptop and charging station. I've made a dozen patches. I want to show how Ring Modulator works

Cold, frostbite, frost, snow, ice, glass... reality tells me to create a frost generation pattern for glass, UE material. The texture here is water_2d, you can find it in the Unreal Engine Content folder

Not long ago, my 12-year-old son and I started learning Python. He wrote a code that prints a Pac-Man image to the console in symbols. I tell him: can you create that in Unreal Engine material? He surprised me again. My little genius

I asked myself the Unreal Engine question, is it possible to create a Spline from Cable Component points? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. A static mesh from a spline component, and a spline from a cable component. What next?

Although this is probably an obvious thought, it may be useful for those who have just started using Unreal Engine. When there is a surface made of tiles in a level design (doesn't matter which ones), you can make an infinite number of them from one texture

Cable from Spline in Unreal Engine. Here's how I solved this problem with texture tile, because Spline Mesh Component won't scale the object, or it does something to it that the material can't understand. So hello Bounds node
But to draw lines and use Fresnel, there are ready-made nodes for this

PSA (corrections below): #UnrealEngine users, please know the wonders of TInlineComponentArray and the TInlineAllocator template. Life changing stuff right here. Stop using TArray GetComponents and other small temporary containers on the heap. Please. Put an end to needless memory fragmentation. Be enlightened by the efficiency of stack memory. There's still time for you to see the light. Image text in following posts...

Don't forget to boost to help a fellow dev!
Edit: Made a correction to first example - according to my IDE it resolves to a move constructor, not a copy constructor. It's still the worst of these options, but not as egregious as I initially thought.
Edit 2: Another correction - the inline allocator is not always stack-specific! If declared as a member of something allocated on the heap (such as being a member in a UObject) the inline allocation will be bundled into that heap memory!
I had to read this at first.
http://www.gradientspace.com/tutorials/2021/01/19/the-interactive-tools-framework-in-ue426
I assumed this as outdated, but this document was important to get entire view.
UEdMode and InteractiveToolsFramework are much bigger and complex than I expected. I've tried to read all of the code and understand all the classes and structures as much as possible, but I guess I'll have to change my strategy. I think I have to selectively approach the things I need here, after rethink about what I wanted to do.
So yeah, the name is misleading. To add insult to injury you can't spawn actors via #AnimNotifyState. If you need anything stateful you pretty much have only one option: Add a custom component to the mesh owner actor with some way of identifying it. You can do a lot more from there. I ended up storing the AnimNotifyState self reference in a member variable of the component and exposed that member on spawn to ensure it's always available before BeginPlay is called. That way I could get any stateful data by iterating on components by class, and using the AnimNotifyState reference as a filter. Yuck.
#UnrealEngine #UE4 #UE5 #UE4Study #UE5Study #GameDev
So fun fact: #AnimNotifyState does not actually contain any state. For all intents and purposes, it's like a class with new defaults per-instance of it. That is, you can't set any member variables at runtime. It's a read-only object. All you get are the events and the associated mesh/sequence passed as parameters to each event.

My entire day was spent working around #AnimNotifyState not being what I thought it was. π§΅
