BrickGame

Hi everybody, sorry for letting this go so long without an update, but I finally updated BrickGame for 4.5. Enjoy!

I wanted to bump this thread. I am fairly new to UE4 and have enjoyed playing around with BrickGame but I have been unable to get it to work with 4.5. The BrickGrid Blueprint crashes the editor when I try to open it in 4.5. I have also done what I could to make a new Blueprint and replicate the variables and functions from the original BrickGrid Blueprint with there ending up to be an error in VertexFactory.

Since it seems like Andrew has gotten busy with other things than I was curious if anyone here has had better luck then me to get this working in 4.5?

There were some updates required to the BrickGame code to compile in 4.5. Not sure how you were able to get as far as you did, but once I fixed the compile errors I didn’t have any problems with the BrickGrid blueprint.

I just wanted to say distance field ambient occlusion and distance field soft shadows would be awesome to see with this.

That would be cool! Somebody should try it out!

Hi,

I wonder if you are still checking this thread but I have a little question. How does the collision with the terrain work? When I activate Physics on the Character, it will just path through it. However, when I move with the floating camera, there seems to be collision.

Can someone enlighten me on this?

It should have collision with anything (the camera collision is from a CylinderComponent, same as a character would be). What might be happening is that collision components are only created for bricks in a relatively small radius around the viewer to reduce hitches when flying around. Try increasing the BrickGrid’s MaxCollisionDistance.
