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

[BlueBlanky]

Been stalking the forums since day 1, but I must say now TK-Master, these would be IMMENSELY helpful. Like, helpful enough to get the ball rolling for something nice.

Also Rama, you're a saint.

If you build it, they will come.

Hi there TK-Master!

Rest of community is invited to chime in as to which of your nodes they would like, I personally think that the Is Point in Box, that receives the extent and center of box, would be great! (FBox not exposed to BP yet as far as I know)

Line to Line Intersection
Line Inside Sphere (is this an intersection or whole line has to be inside sphere?)
Closest Points between Two Line Segements
Project Point onto Line
Closest Point on Sphere to Line
Closest Point on Line Segment

Set Vector Length
Increment Float
Increment Integer
IsEven
IsPowerOf2
IsMultipleOf
RoundToNearestMultiple
GridSnap


Would all be great!

I think a lot of people will love the Geometry functions and Grid Snap feature!

And the various math functions will be very helpful !

Thanks!

Rama

Round to nearest multiple would be nice. I round down to the blocks location, so if you click 187, it rounds to 100. In my game, I spawn a grid of blocks, and they are 100 wide each. You can click on em and it removes them. I have to do: block location = blockWidth / 100 -> floor * 100

Hee hee!

Nice to hear from you Jamendxman3!

Welcome to the forums Fayle!

One of my absolute favorite sayings / movies!

[TK-Master]

Alright then I'm just going to drop the header and cpp files here, then it's up to Rama (and the community) to decide which nodes are added

I also added a bonus function to convert velocity to another speed unit, this can be used for car speedometers etc.

Hey,Rama!You really did a wonderful job!
How can i make a plugin?
I wrote a function library and i want to make it a plugin.Can you help me?

[Jamendxman3]

Yes Rama, that is also a question I had. If I make a bunch of macros for math nodes, could I turn those into a plugin? Do I need C++ knowledge?

Also, maybe you could make a tutorial on how to do this? Maybe just something simple like how to make a node in c++ that adds A & B. Hope you consider it, thanks!

Hey,Rama!You really did a wonderful job!

I wrote up a plugin that is a template for BP libraries a while ago! Here's the wiki link!

You can download that and use that to get started!

Yes you do need to use C++ See my Link!

30+ New Math, Physics, and 3D Geometry Nodes!



Live as of May 1st, 2015

Dear Community,

I have the May Celebration node release for you today!

Community member TK-Master has gifted us with over 30 new BP nodes for Math, Physics, and 3D Geometry calculations!

I highlighted my personal favorite nodes in green!

~~~

UMG Anchor Conversion
Please note you can now convert UMG Anchor coordinates to other coordinate spaces!

~~~

Snap To 3D Grid
You can use the Snap Node to snap any 3D space Vector to a grid size of your choosing!

So you could use this node to to regulate the position of an in-game 3D positioning tool (like for RTS Games!) to a grid of your choosing, while still accounting for rolling hills of landscapes and big vertical differences!

~~~

Convert Physics Linear Velocity

Ever wonder how fast in Km/hr an in-game Unreal Engine physics ball was hurling through the air?

Ever want to know the meters/second speed of a falling physics-simulating box?

Or how about the miles/hour of your UE4 Physics Vehicle?

Well thanks to TK-Master's new node you can now easily convert the value that you get from GetPhysicsLinearVelocity of any physics-simulating body to a speed in the units of your choosing!

Here's is TK-Master's current list of available conversions!

/* Speed Units Enum. */
UENUM()
enum ESpeedUnit
{
	/* Centimeter / second (cm/s). This is default unreal velocity unit. */
	CentimeterPerSecond,

	/* Foot / second (ft/s). */
	FootPerSecond,

	/* Meter / second (m/s). */
	MeterPerSecond,

	/* Meter / minute (m/min). */
	MeterPerMinute,

	/* Kilometer / second (km/s). */
	KilometerPerSecond,

	/* Kilometer / minute (km/min). */
	KilometerPerMinute,

	/*Kilometer / hour (km/h). */
	KilometerPerHour,

	/* Mile / hour (mph). */
	MilePerHour,

	/* Knot (kn). Nautical mile per hour. */
	Knot,

	/* Mach (speed of sound) (M) at standard atm. */
	Mach,

	/* Speed of light. */
	SpeedOfLight,

	/* Yard / second. */
	YardPerSecond
};

BP Nodes for 3D Geometric Analysis!

Here are pics showing the complete list of the new 3D Geometry Nodes!

To see the full list, get the latest version of my plugin and type in "TK" and you will see all the 30+ new nodes available to you!



~~~

Thank You!

Thank you TK-Master for your contribution!

These nodes are going to be extremely useful for a lot of people !

Oh man, this is a good one. Thanks so much for sharing this!

[BlueBlanky]

Veneration for holy Rama!
Thanks bunches you two!

[Jamendxman3]

Rama, I tried using the VictoryAI plugin template, I placed it in my UE4 Project's plugins folder, and it tells me that it can't compile, and that I need to compile from source manually. I have the launcher version of the engine, not GitHub. What am I doing wrong? And how do I recompile plugin once I've made my stuff?

Compiling Plugins

Rama, I tried using the VictoryAI plugin template, I placed it in my UE4 Project's plugins folder, and it tells me that it can't compile, and that I need to compile from source manually. I have the launcher version of the engine, not GitHub. What am I doing wrong? And how do I recompile plugin once I've made my stuff?

Hi there!

Yes you definitely need to compile my template yourself, because you also cannot add code to it unless you compile it yourself!

You need Visual Studio Express 2013 for Desktop.

https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/p...xpress-vs.aspx

Make sure to get the "Community" edition or the one that says "For Windows Desktop"

Install that, and then you can use VS to compile.

The only alternative to a C++ plugin would be to make a BP Library asset that you share with people.

Enjoy!

30+ New Nodes!
PS: I recently released 30+ new nodes for Math, 3D Geometric Analysis, and Physics!

Hello Rama, I am working on a temperature system, it basically is for games where you want the user to see the temperature where player is at, or anywhere for that matter. You will be able to add heat sources, cold sources, and the temperature will radiate in the game. It will be fully customize-able with room temperature, temperature source influence, temperature flicker, and lots more when I'm done. It is really all just a back-end thing that nobody sees, but if people want, they could have the player take damage if where they are is too hot, and other things. If this works out, I will also make a moisture system as well. I will be making a node to initialize temperatures, node to add temperature source, remove temp source, and all of that. Is this something that you'd like in the Victory Plugin? If so, how would I get that stuff to you if I made it using your plugin template?
