Please expose more API functions to Blueprints

[Slavq]

I've sent project files for review 2 months ago. I've sent two emails on the support mail asking what's the status, not a single response. I've heard...

[Slavq]

I've noticed that on the first page you've mentioned the Blueprint loop limit. To eliminate the limit, go to Edit>Project Settings>General Settings>Blueprints>Maximum...

I'm testing the project right now, great job! I've sent you a crash report with logs, maybe I'll be able to reproduce it in some clean way.

Exposing API functions manually is a solution, but not applicable to e.g. pure Blueprint Marketplace products or other for people who want to keep their...

I'm a newcomer again, it makes me feel younger!

PS. Actually... Maybe the post count would be enough without rank titles, I like things to...

Thanks all for your input and interesting discussion!

Konflict You can create custom loops in BPs too, decremental ones, custom iteration...

[Slavq]

There's no need for any long wires if you structure your 'code' in a clean way. For example, you can fragment your logic into properly named functions...

You're right, that was only a random related fun fact, not neccesarily tied to UE4 and C++
I'm also curious what is the real reason behind hiding...

Nicat Quaternions are also something that I miss from Unity. Would be nice to have them, especially since it's easy and rather harmless, so if Epic fear...

There are a lot of useful functions in the C++ API that are not exposed to Blueprints. It would be really nice if most C++ functions were also available...

Thanks for the answer, that sounds promising. So basically [static mesh] -> [convert to a special voxel asset with all raycasts precomputed] ->...

[Slavq]

Great job, thank you for sharing the code!
The dynamic mesh importer is awesome, I see that the lag is due to raycasts and they can be precomputed...

I'll see if I can implement a mirroring/symmetry feature. I'm still waiting for the review process though.

Yes, it uses random streams with seed values for every 'section' of a tree. So for example there are separate seeds for trunk, branches, roots, leaves,...

[Slavq]

The generator can use custom meshes, but of course they need to be modular to tile seamlessly. For example, the default modular meshes used in trunk/branch...

[Slavq]

Yes, same here, on Firefox.

I totally support the idea. Reducing the fee would be a great move (+ good publicity, remember UE4 becoming free?) that would attract a lot of new developers...
