Starting from point 0 with direction represented by the blue line, how can compare the distance from point 1 to the blue line ( small red line) agaisnt the distance from point 2 to the blue line ( bigger red line ) ?
I think it should be enough:

But, the question is how to translate that to blueprint.
Yeah I understand some days is difficult to open the epic launcher and click download in the marketplaceā¦ I feel you
Really funny.
But for me, when I try to open the Content example project, it crashes.
Anyway, thanks for not helping.
IMO what is complicated is that you need to know trigonometry (Pythagoras) to be able to build this or to at least understand the logic to do so.
Anyways, think this is what you are asking for:
Debug string donāt show up when simulating so here is a screen:
The blueprint:
Hope it helps. Feel free to ask anything.

yeah, really funny
āhow do i solve this math problemā
your answer
āyou need to know mathā
actually that was not funny at all. quite a bad taste answer
What?
lmftfy:
You need to know primary school 3rd grade math!

My idea was to help him to try, and to solve
to give the solution I think is a bad ideaā¦ Because If I copy / paste, I understand nothing never
While I generally agree, everyone learns in their own way. Some folks love taking existing code / script apart and see what makes it, ehm, tick. I am definitely guilty of trying to help with ready-to-go solutions. Iād like to think the target audience is inquisitive enough and will dig deeper into the problem themselves later on.
You also get the chance to teach someone a correct approach, so they do not need to make the mistakes you had made before learning it yourself.
The āgoogle itā or āsearch the forumsā type of answer can be frustrating. Oftentimes the real issue is not knowing the keyword. Every time I try to explore a whole new topic myself, I stumble and Iāve been googling things for years!
Or perhaps youāre right. Folks get spoiled by the visual nature of blueprints and expect things prewired from A-Z.
I mean, the solution here is a glorified triangle, not much to talk about really. ā¦unless someone (pezzott1) walks 500 miles out of their way to help a stranger on the internet.

donāt know if 3rd grade math. I know about the Pythagorean theorem and the rest. what Iām lacking is the process in finding solution to a problem. That is a specific important topic in math that like most of us we didnāt paid attention too when we should had.
So you have a bunch of math tools, formulas and the rest and we need to combine them to resolve a specific problem. Not only, after you have figured out this from a math point of view you need to adapt that solution to a specific software or reality. like in this case the blueprints nodes from unreal.
So is not so trivial for the rest of us. I have 6 months of figuring this unreal game stuff. And 5 months spent in learning the software. What miracles I can do?
@dorusoftware I would like you to understand my situationā¦
Not necessary to read, but Iād like you to do
why do you think the people know how to do it in bp? I donāt think is something you do each dayā¦
In my case, I have no idea how to do it by hand right now, last time I use was 8 years agoā¦
So first I read the post, then I thought about how to resolve it, at some point eurekaā¦ oh I think I can make a triangle, and ā¦ I was looking for the pitagoras in several pagesā¦ I look at the case in mathsā¦
When I was sure at 90% about to solve by tracing lines and making a triangle, I phoned my uncle to be sure, because is a mathematician at 00 of the night
Then I said āoh sure there is an example in the content examples in the math levelā
I did install, look, and yesā¦ then I shareā¦
OH here is the blueprint! Just a few changes
And imagine my face when you told me
Not even read!!!
I tell to you because I understand you are stressed and in a hurry, but pleaseā¦
Iāve read your replies and I will explain why your type of answer is something that I really personally hate.
So you are trying to point a person on a path so he can learn how to figure it out himself.
That is a good learning tool, you are not wrong, but it depends of at least two factors that are missing here.
First, one needs to have the time, second there is a teacher/master near him from start of the problem till the end of the problem to correct him if he goes out of the path too far.
In most cases one doesnāt have the time to invest days or weeks trying to figure the solution to a particular problem, all by himself with no one beside him to even give a hint that his on the right track.
You come up you have pointed a finger to a general area, then you are out. How selfish and frankly bad taste behavior.
As you may be well aware, creating a game involves a lot of different systems and for that game engines are quite complicated tools. If for each thing I require for my game ,I need to invest weeks to try finding a path that was already figured out by people before me, I will never finish the game.
What if unreal team will do it like you, once they get a new system they donāt create tutorials, documentation, instead they say, āhere is a new tool go on and figure this out yourselfā
So if you want to help, just give the general theory why something works like and also give the code.
The fact that you are getting involved in helping others is a good thing and is not something the rest of us should take for granted. Just try to use the methods appropriate for the situation.
There is only one situation when your type of answer can be accepted if properly described before of that. When you donāt have a solution but you think the solution may be in a certain direction. You will say, āI donāt know how to do this in blueprint but i think is something related with this formula, if you didnāt tried this path maybe this can help. Also I think the example content have something similarā That is a fair answer. No one has anything to complain
Yeah ok, as I said I was able to help In all steps, Iām associated professor at university.
But donāt tell me I deserve you insult to me
As far I know I donāt work for you
Next time just say in the header URGENT I need the solution in a blueprint, I have no time.
Just it. Easy
being a professor, that explain it. your method works great for your students because you are there with them to guide them.
in this case doesnāt work. also, your inability to make a distinction between criticizing something you said and your person as a human being is interesting. No one insulted you, just pointed that the answer you have posted just makes me angry, and also Iā have explained why.
Omg, Too much drama for a triangle
You are right my mistake sorry
Just letās stop in here sure we have more things to do in life
