Hi,
have anyone any idea why is not fired event âon collision hitâ from fgear custom collision, when colliding two cars or car and world, in UE 5.3? In example project it works ok but that is for UE 4 and I cannot make it work in 5.
BTW, when pawn collide with fgear custom collision, then is event fired successfully.
BTW2, in UE4 was everything ok.
example project can be easily converted to any unreal 5 version, right click the project file and select switch unreal version.
That will do this:
When I will press right mouse button and select âopen by unreal engineâ (version 5) then:
But I have it already installedâŚ
Hi Iâm a newbie and Iâm trying to open the example project. I have the plugin installed in both 5.3 and 4.7. I canât open it from there nor when I double click on the file. Iâve attached a video. Any ideas what Iâm doing wrong?
and this is usually skipped: To use the example project with Unreal5 copy the FGearPlugin folder in Unreal5\Engine\Plugins to FGearExample\Plugins folder.
Just to be clear. Iâm copying from inside the marketplace plugin folder to the marketplaceâs parent Plugin folder?
Btw I did try using it with 4.72 as well. Thanks
for example:
copy âFGearPluginâ from : C:\Program Files\Epic Games\Unreal5.3\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace
paste in : C:\Projects\FGearExample\Plugins
create Plugins folder under FGearExample if not existsâŚ
There wasnât any folder called C:\Projects\FGearExample\Plugins or C:\Projects, so I made one. and pasted there and to my D: drive and to my Unreal projects folder on my D drive but still no joy
I didnât even need to do that copy plugin part.
skipped some loading and rebuilding parts so be patient and wait until the editor opens upâŚ
Iâve tried opening UE project files previously and never had any problems. Your setup is different to the others Iâve tried. I think Iâm doing it as you say but itâs not working. Any suggestions?
I thought it might be because UE was open but Iâve tried it with ue open and closed.
Quick question when I hopefully finish my game, would my gamerâs have to go through this same process?
@lazybitgames is the enhanced input ( new input system) supported? If not can you update the plugin to support it since the old/traditional one is deprecated ? I tried to do it but got stuck, if you are going to do it here is what I have so far ( to help you save time) :
UENUM(BlueprintType)
enum class EInputSystemType : uint8

I did that already before that errors. Cannot make to work the example project in any way. Only in 4.27.
Can you confirm that on component hit works in 5.3 or it is bug?
Finally I make it work (the example project in 5.3) with some mystery.
But the âon component hitâ on fgear custom collision is not fired even in example project. I checked âgenerate hit eventsâ and nothing. In 4.27 it is ok.
I will choose first car and crashing to other cars and event will not fire.
did you try rebuilding with visual studioâŚ
make sure both the custom collider component and your physics asset have âgenerate hit eventsâ setting checked.
thanks for sharing, this is on our todo list.
That is! Thanks! (btw, canât open example project again 
)
What no, Iâm a newbie no idea about visual studio or coding
