Generic Shooter: Support Thread

[DjGrave]

Does anyone know how to change the announcers voice?

@DjGrave;326069

is it the players fire animation or the weapon?

Hi Dj, it’s the weapon fire, reload animation

[anonymous_user_8cee776c]

someone knows how to put aiming with right click in BP_RocketLauncher for example? the options/programming are just in baseweapon, not in the projectile’s one.

[Twrmois]

I brought the kit, gonna try it now

@pr0ace;327238

Hi Dj, it’s the weapon fire, reload animation

in any of the weapons blueprints what you wish you change like the pistol or rifle. you need to go to config animation and replace any of the animations you wish to change it a montage

[Twrmois]

Can’t wait until that Lobby update comes out
After using the kit for a few, it was VERY easy to import and get my characters up and running, and from the help of the weapon tutorial its easy to get the weapons working as well. I’m mainly focused on making a third person shooter, and this is definitely the kit for it. I followed your Twitch channel as well, and watched the past video on when you streamed the development of the Lobby (btw, Twitch muted large sections of the video).

I’m only just starting tutorial vids as a result of wanting to share what I learn, so the first vids I post about this might be rough. Constructive feedback will be much appreciated.

Just an update - I’m running a bit behind due to a drive failure so I may not get the tutorial up until Sunday or Monday. I was stupid and had my Git repository on the same drive as my working copy, and that drive is currently but hopefully recoverable.

, I have a reasonably good FPS working. Put a DM in the game when I shoot in the editor it does nothing to the DM. When create the executable the DM is destroyed. Very strange. When are we going to see an upgrade.

Early DM tests showed it working, but because destructible meshes don’t support multiplayer very easily, neither do I.

Hello, i really love your work, it’s just so simple, to get started with. But, i want to develop my Game for Mobiles (especially Android), the only Problem with this is, that the menu dosnt works anymore, when i set the target plattform to mobile. Any Idea, on how to get it working?

Thanks in advance,

Not really sure, worked fine on my Android Shield. I’m starting to do a lot more mobile/console work with this though, might have a solution later.

@zombie112;324150

Awesome! Thanks so much! Also, any news on when a tutorial for enabling steam will be available?

I know this is often requested, but theres also a few ways to do it and I’m trying to settle on the best way to cover it for this.

@DjGrave;324213

I was wondering if anyone else run into this problem. Trying out the new levels on the unreal editor works fine when selecting it threw the main menu but when you play a version that has been packaged it only runs the test map and restarts the menu when you try and select any other stage

@alanconrad;324266

I just came across this problem myself… Couldn’t find a solution yet

@taltsinth;324340

Did you remember to add the levels in the build package settings?

You indeed have to add this to your cooked map settings.

@MrMrC;324495

Hey Fellow GenericShooters and ,

I have a wierd problem that I cannot get to the bottom of. I imported a new package (generic buildings). Open the level and had it do a production lighting build over night. This morning all of my character references in the core generic shooter BPs are saying they are incompatable and I am getting “bad calls” to MyCharacter BP. I am completely stuck, thoughts?

Get these errors when I start the editor.

Error Failed import for ObjectProperty /Game/GenericShooter/BlueprintLogic/BP_PlayerCharacter.BP_PlayerCharacter_C:ThirdPersonCamera
Error Failed import for BlueprintGeneratedClass /Game/GenericShooter/BlueprintLogic/BP_PlayerCharacter.BP_PlayerCharacter_C
Error Failed import for BoolProperty /Game/GenericShooter/BlueprintLogic/BP_PlayerCharacter.BP_PlayerCharacter_C:bIsThirdPerson
Error Failed import for ObjectProperty /Game/GenericShooter/BlueprintLogic/BP_PlayerCharacter.BP_PlayerCharacter_C:HeroCamera

I had this problem with my own blueprints, so I think it is just a UE4 bug. Luckily in my blueprint I didn’t have to many references to the variable that failed to import, so I could just delete it and replace it and where it was used. That fixed it.

If it is possible to delete a variable, compile, get the errors, right click on one of the get/set nodes for that var and make a new one, it should work. Hopefully you didn’t get too far into your project.

Test the above out on a test variable first before you try it on the other used variables. It would be a shame to have to go back and find all the old references.

@MrMrC;324582

Yeah started that process. Its all over the place, if there is not systematic solution I might have to start from scratch and puzzle all the made pieces back together. Seem like the entire referential integrity of the project has gone bust. Scary as hell .

Thats… very strange. Not really sure what to tell you. Sorry.

@MeraKz;324894

thx for tutorials , very useful.

Thanks man!

@;326447

That looks like a good start to a zombie game, I don’t think you need the kill feed though.

Also, I have another bug. If you have no weapons in your inventory and you pick one up, you get
and

Everything works fine. You would never know if it didn’t give you a pop up saying there was an error, but it may cause something later.

Looking into this.

@Darkholder;326776

Hi all!

First off, - Excellent work! I’m glad I got in before you came to your senses and started charging appropriately for it! (Dude - pay yourself better!)

Second - I am working on integrating some other packages with it from other parties for a game I am developing, such as the ‘Realistic Weapons’ and ‘Basic Light Functions’ pack. If anyone is interested, I’ll make tutorials once I have them done.

You’ve done very good work with this, and I definitely appreciate you offering it to the community through the marketplace. It has helped me better understand so,me things that were foggy for me, and to push my own plans, and I greatly appreciate that! Thank you again!

I’d love to see other people make tutorials. Wish I had incentive to give to do so.

@DjGrave;327009

Does anyone know how to change the announcers voice?

The announcer isn’t any special system, its just sound waves set to the Announcer class. Go ahead and record your own!

@pr0ace;327240

The RocketLauncher has CanADS overridden so that it always returns false. If you want to restore original functionality, simply delete this function.

Awwwww yeah. Good to see people able to do things. Thanks for the follow! Was muted for copyright music reasons

@Darkholder;328999

Just an update - I’m running a bit behind due to a drive failure so I may not get the tutorial up until Sunday or Monday. I was stupid and had my Git repository on the same drive as my working copy, and that drive is currently but hopefully recoverable.

Just went through the hell of installing Windows 10 with a lot of issues myself.

Thank you Lord ! i’m loving messing with this project up, so freaking cool

[oldnag]

how can i get rid of the text on screen for controls and such, cheers

In game hit P, in the blueprint delete the P control thing and remove it from UMG.

[CyberDev]

I see in the demo the 3rd person camera clips through walls when you are standing next to them in certain places, can this be fixed?

Also would it be possible to make the scoreboard not rely on steam? Like an ability to create a character name and have that display the score / stats so you can output those stats for your own progression if my multiplayer game is played by people that dont use steam?

Sounds good to me! Patiently waiting.

Hi ,
First off thank you for your Generic Shooting project. I bought it in the mind of learning its Networking and implementing that in my own game (networking resources on UE4 is very scarce…) and I’ve been really excited to see your awesome game!

I was hoping if you could help me with networking; I’m fairly new to UE4 so I’m not sure if I’m missing something.
When I package the game (with 4.8.1, shipping/development, 32/64-bit) and try multiplayer with another friend in another network, we can’t find each other’s games.
This is what I’ve tried:
-Tried from 4 different networks/computers but nothing appears in Join Game
-Used Hamachi and host through LAN, also nothing
-Only thing that can connect is locally on the same computer
-All port forwarded 7777 and 27015
Interestingly the exact same thing happens for UE4’s Multiplayer Shootout example game; I’ve tried almost any info there is online for ue4 networking, to no avail. I think I’m missing something crucial and simple that a new guy like me just doesn’t see. Might you know what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

I have notice something similar also but for me its an easy fix I just have to press refresh a couple times to find the other game on join

[michaeleeli]

Okay, so I’ve noticed networking does not work atm because the subsystem is hard to implement. However LAN for me isn’t working when I’m using external programs like Hamachi or Garena specifically for this game - anyone have luck in making LAN work over the internet?

On other computers in the Hamachi network type in console
“open IPAddress”
replace IPAddress with the host’s IP.

Hey

I have about 30 animation files ready that are = crouch, prone, cover with rifle animations and a good locomotion files they just need to get

retargeted. My PC crashed when shutting down while in an UE4 project, maybe power supply or worse mother board and cpu. But I have the

back up files on my mac book I could send or hold on till I rebuild a new work station. the animation files are mostly skeleton.

[oxygencube]

This is fantastic… Just a heads up, ask them to change the support/info link to this thread as currently it links to the old interest thread.
