is back to talk about the different techniques that you can use to handle loading levels seamlessly in your game! will be covering all the bases, from basic cut-to-black to conditional loading on events. How to unload levels and manage what players can experience will also be covered as goes through his tutorial. Come for the level streaming, stay for the magic.
Feel free to ask any questions on the topic in the thread below, and remember, while we try to give attention to all inquiries, it’s not always possible to answer’s questions as they come up. This is especially true for off-topic requests, as it’s rather likely that we don’t have the appropriate person around to answer. Thanks for understanding!
Can we build/dynamically generate levels and stream them into the game? Or would you do it differently?
And please give some kind of basic introduction to the concept. I’ve watched some of the older streams and sometimes you just dived into the topic without really explaining the fundamentals.
How can i determine if a streamed level is fully loaded? Example, i’m in a level with a room and i want to load another level with another big room that take time to load, in the first room i have a gate that opens only when the second room is loaded, it exist some kind of event dispatcher that allow me to say to the gate “hey, i’m ready, now you can open up!” ?
EDIT:
Yep, you can re-watch it on Twitch or wait that they upload it on youtube
Could you review tips and tricks for loading levels and using level streaming with world composition. Specifically, if there are any “tips and tricks” that the docs often do not cover. Also, could you discuss Texture Streaming warnings that occur often with these larger worlds streaming mulitple levels.
Thank you for those great livestreams. This will be the first I can see strictly live, huray!!
Question: Is it possible having two levels visible at the same time? I make an example: Imagine that you have a room with a window and through that window you can see a garden with its foliage meshes. It could be possible that we have the garden and foliage, of course, in the persistent level and always visible and a number of levels of the room with different decorations and textures that we can switch? If it’s possible, how can we do it?
You either bind an event to “On Level Loaded” of the streamed level, or you can also determine the state any time by checking the “Is Level Loaded” property thereof.
Hey! Do you guys know why in multiplayer if you use streaming levels with the world’s UseClientSideLevelStreamingVolumes boolean checked, the first time a client loads up the streaming level using a streaming volume, the actors that belong to the streaming level beginplays are not called? This only happens the first time the client walks into the streaming level region. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!
I’m having this issue as well. Streamed level set as Always Loaded, world settings with UseCLientSideStreamingVolumes=true. When a client first enters the streaming volume, the streaming level is loaded, but the level blueprint’s begin play is not triggered. When the client exits the streaming volume and enters again a second time, the begin play is triggered.
Maybe I’m using it the wrong way. My primary scenario is a dedicated server where everything is loaded always, while the clients should only get loaded the streaming levels relevant for their location.
Cant wait to watch!
