(39) Rama's Extra Blueprint Nodes for You as a Plugin, No C++ Required!

[MADHOUSE]

<3 Thanks for the speedy update! :3

[OverRated_AU]

4.19 Is Here!!!

I show all downloads in the first post now:

4.19 Victory Plugin


changes:

GetHeadMountedDisplayDeviceType now returns an FName as per an Epic change

I kept the enum so you can follow your code/Blueprints and adapt to the new system which is just an FName, but you can't use a switch case on enum any more, you will have to use a switch on string and convert the FName to a string.

Can you please have a look at adding this node i asked about in #2152 please Rama.

Also the Modules you included in the uplugin for 4.19 are incorrect and the plugin fails to load here what it should be.

Get a warning on compile:

warning : Warning: Plugin 'VictoryBPLibrary' does not list plugin 'ApexDestruction' as a dependency, but module 'VictoryBPLibrary' depends on 'ApexDestruction'.

Compiles okay though!

Hi,
I have this message when i lanch my project (clean/new project) with 4.19 Victory Plugin :

Plugin 'VictoryBPLibrary' failed to load because module 'VictoryBPLibrary' could not be loaded. There may be an operating system error or the module may not be properly set up.

I have just paste "VictoryPlugin" folder in /MyProject/Plugins/ as usual.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Why not just Switch on Name? Also, is there a list of these FNames and what HMD type they refer to?

Hello, Rama. Again, Thanks for Your great work!
Right now I am continuing making screenshots with your nodes presentations here in forum pages, first pack of those I posted in post number 2129.
I am still beginner of UE4 learning, and I got question that i am sorry if it will be silly.
Question: you Custom Config INI Vars - can those be considered and used as alternative to BP Interfaces, for transfering variables between BPs?
Or that is not a good thought? Thank You.

[Thunder_Owl]

Hello all! I made a "Help Screens", screenshots from this thread - posted plugin features, updates, usage, notes. Previously I had a post with about half of screens, now there are screens from pages 1 to 142. Screens include picture's of Rama's BP nodes with his notes of usage, with some texts from that post. If there was large post, there will be 2 or 3 screenshots for one topic. Screenshots are named more or less to make sense what is it inside. All screens are cropped, so, you don't see my super secret bookmarks tree on the left side Definitely there are some duplicates, sorry about that. Count of all pictures is 200-something. Please give me some advice if there are wrong named files, or something important missing, etc. Bug report, please, so to speak.
Any other comments and suggestions welcome. I attached couple of partial listing examples, but full list is over 200 screenshots.
Thank you, Rama, for those great additions to UE4, and thanks to all other nice persons who contributed here.

Victory Plugin Load Errors / ApexDestruction

I have provided the fix for this above if you look.

Sorry everyone I had Apex in the git version but not my local due to recent dev machine change, when I packaged it didn't include the ApexDestruction

Just add this to the uplugin if you get ApexDestruction error

"Plugins" :
    [
        {
            "Name": "ApexDestruction",
            "Enabled": true
        }
    ]

I will repackage soon

EDIT: I have now updated the 4.19 release in the original post of this thread!

Thanks to YOU for those nodes. But, to be honest, even after all screenshoting and all, it is =still= kinda hard to keep in mind, what additional possibilities exists (and, there are others too, like "Low Entry Extended Library", and "Morepork"...). And, in turn - sometimes I could even want to "request" for some node to implement, but then I think - maybe it exists already, I just need to remember where? ;-)

EDIT: real recent example of my thinking: would be nice to have node that can set line trace from actor's front direction to any given axes angles, and set length. And, feed that to linetrace "end" input. But maybe such exists laready? I am just too un-experienced to know for sure.

[Thunder_Owl]

Hello again. I decided to ask what I already wondered in my previous post, no matter if it is maybe silly or just "wrong question". I was thinking, making custom angle and direction line trace from actor is not very straightforward, but it involves just a math and trigonometry - so maybe it should not be hard to make a custom "node" like i imagine in illustration attached? I was searching around, maybe there is already something like that, but did not find such. Any thoughts on this, please? Maybe it can be made? Or, if it exists, please point me to that? Thank You!
EDIT: in that imagined node illustration, i forgot to edit to imagined name - "Make Trace" ("Draw Trace").

Hi,
I just tested the 4.19 release and I see that the "AnimatedVertex__GetAnimatedVertexLocations" node has been removed.

I hoped that all I'd have to do was add the code back into the cpp/h files, however it's failing to compile at: Mesh->ComputeSkinnedPositions(Locations); stating that it "function does not take 1 arguments".

I just wondered how I can fix this (what other arguments is it after?), or whether there's an alternative way to get the array of vertices.

Thanks.
