The function seems quite useful as it differentiates between iOS and to call certain functions or not but is missing from the Example on the Marketplace.

As usual keep up the great work

Dear KillerSneak,

I just finished writing and have now uploaded a new version of my plugin which includes a node to verify what OS is being used!

**Get OS Platform**

![OSGet.jpg|900x648](upload://eNzihXcczOhCUpPNreSTACtc4Vt.jpeg)

**Platforms you can check for:**

**Windows
Mac
Linux

PS4
XBoxOne

iOS
Android

HTML5

WIN RT
WIN RT ARM**

Enjoy!

[KillerSneak]

Awesome, thanks for the release. Since Ill have the day off tomorrow I can have a look at your plugin library incl the above “**Get OS Platform”. **Again thanks for the update will be very useful.

@pootsz;59505

Thanks . The viewport and mouse nodes have come in handy.

Yay Glad to know that!

Let me know how it goes!

I dont have any other platforms to test with at the moment

[KillerSneak]

Hi thanks for the “**Get OS Platform” **node. It works like a charm and will be very useful for platform specific optimizations and functionality.

Get Current Operating System

annnnd

Get Milliseconds/Seconds/Minutes/Hours Passed Since Previous Recorded!

These two nodes can be used to

1. obtain the current local Operating System for your computer.

2. obtain the amount of milliseconds/seconds/minutes/hours that have passed since the you recorded for the first node! You can stores as many times as you want! They are simply stored as a string!

You can use these two nodes to record down to the sub-millisecond the amount of passing between game events!

**The milliseconds portion is a float, so you can record far smaller than 1 millisecond!
**

In the attached picture I record the amount of real-world between two key presses

Enjoy!

[Rama]

Get Difference Between Any Two Times

node calculates the difference in Milliseconds/Seconds/Minutes/Hours between any two times that you record using my node above!

Again you can save as many nodes as you want for use with node, I record the times as strings!

Enjoy!

Holy ****! I asked about just a couple of hours ago and you already finished it?! :eek: You are insane…

Thank you!

Is it just me, or does plugin not work with 4.2? I downloaded the latest plugin, and when I start my project, it says the project modules need to be recompiled. If I click yes, it says the game code couldn’t be compiled. Then another message pops up saying the Victory Plugin will not be used due to it being incompatible with 4.2/it needing to be recompiled. I only get message when I have the victory plugin enabled.

That is correct I have not updated the plugin yet, I will post when I do

[Rama]

Wow well the compiling of both Vertex Snapping and the Victory BP Node Library

turned out to be very easy!

[COLOR="#0000FF"]My plugin is officially updated to 4.2 ![/COLOR]

Featured Node

Trace for Closest Socket

Perform a trace against a mesh that will identify the closest socket to the trace hit location on the mesh!

I’m confused on how to get working. I see the menu in the top left corner, but fail to see any vertices when selecting a mesh. It doesn’t seem like any of the keys respond. Also, when reading through post, the Wiki says to add

[/Script/Engine.Engine]
UnrealEdEngine=/Script/VictoryEdEngine.VictoryEdEngine

But the forum posts shows

[/Script/Engine.Engine]
UnrealEdEngine=/Script/VictoryBPLibrary.VictoryEdEngine

Which is it? The latter crashes my editor upon start.

is the correct one now:

“[/Script/Engine.Engine]
UnrealEdEngine=/Script/VictoryEdEngine.VictoryEdEngine”

it changed recently

I will update main post

regarding getting it to work

as soon as you select a static mesh actor, try hovering the mouse over various parts of the static mesh actor

do you see little squares lighting up at the vertex points?

you can cycle to a different display mode (see the ingame menu in upper left) to show more vertices

Apparently, the large mesh I already had in the project before adding the plug-in didn’t seem to display them or function with it. When importing other meshes to play around with, I did see the verticies. So I’m not sure why it did that. Perhaps your plug-in doesn’t like large meshes?

[n00854180t]

Wow, is really awesome. Thanks so much for , many of these nodes are perfect for things I want to do.

If the mesh has more than 8000 vertices or some large number like that, then yes I do not display vertices as it is a drag on the cpu power at that point.

Hee hee you’re welcome!

Another request for you. At moment even version 4.2 of the engine only supports the iAds stuff (iOS) but not AdMob (Android) can you alter the 3 nodes to have a selection/drop down to choose what add provider needs to show? would be a great addition as imho it’s taking the Epic staff way to long to add one of the most important functions for indie developers.

Looking forward to your response.
