wow, if they are already doing that on their end, and we can build this, then linking it will not be so hard…It would simply be an api with download capability…
the other thing, look a practical example.
i want to snap a block to another block of the same size.
so i google “ue4 snap actor to actor” and i get this https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/125588/spawn-and-snap-actors-of-different-dimensions.html
if i search on this forum i get these answers Search results for '' - Unreal Engine Forums"
long story short. i should be able to swap blueprints in and out in a matter of seconds to see how it is compatible for what i want and need. We should aim at 1 minute from typing your search to actually having it inside your own PC ue4 project , ready to use.
lets say i search “joypad” i see blueprints and an explanation where to put it. does this joypad blueprint go in the level blueprint, does it go somewhere else?
it must be noob friendly. i just started to learn , and its super overwhelming when you really want to advance and understand.
I should not be forced to rebuild an entire blueprint by hand , because i use it in my project. It should auto compile the contributers name in the games credits, so that is also not manually. Everybody can get the credit they deserve then.
If i want to use this exploding barrel, i have to make a screenshot
, or pause the video 100 times, to rebuild it by hand, UE4 - Blueprint Explosive Barrel #4 - Blueprint Functions - YouTube
. then something doesnt work and you dont know what… BAM 3 hours gone
I am #indiedev.
But seriously, there must be a better way. People like you, who see a good idea, and say i will make this withing 10 minutes after reading, are so extremely valuable, guys like me have ideas, and they are to big to make. Everybody and their grandma has an idea, but making something is another thing.
We need people who take action to build something awesome and advance gamedev in general, the mega studio will benefit from streamlining this process, but also the 1pc indiedev.
last thing : i will put all the features people say in this thread in post 1 (or else peoples ideas could get buryd in 100 pages), and then we will see how much can be built…
