Hello,
so my trial period for the Visual Studio ended, and even that i know absolutely nothing about programming, i must say… it was kinda interesting/fun month.
I decided to recreate my blueprints to C++… some things were easy, others were not. And i would like to make the “difficult ones” to work, finish what i started, atleast.
Thats why i decided to create this topic, but i must warn you … the list will be probably long.
- With this function:
void AMyCharacter::TurnAround(float AxisRate)
{
if (AxisRate != 0.f && InputComponent->GetAxisValue("MoveForward") == 0.f && InputComponent->GetAxisValue("MoveRight") == 0.f)
{
// Cancel MouseClick Move
Controller->StopMovement();
//
AddControllerYawInput(AxisRate * BaseTurnAroundRate * GetWorld()->GetDeltaSeconds());
const FRotator NewActorRotation(0.f, AxisRate * BaseTurnAroundRate * GetWorld()->GetDeltaSeconds(), 0.f);
AddActorLocalRotation(NewActorRotation);
}
}
I want my character to turn together with the camera, preferably with the walk animation. Unfortunately these two functions (AddControllerYawInput, AddActorLocalRotation) won't work together, they only work solo. :(
Can this piece of code work?
GetCharacterMovement()->UpdateBasedRotation()
- Don’t you know for what these settings are for? I tried to turn these on and off, and i didn’t noticed any difference.
GetCharacterMovement()->bConstrainToPlane = true;
GetCharacterMovement()->bSnapToPlaneAtStart = true;
- With my functions that control the camera:
void AMyCharacter::RotateCamera()
{
//UGameViewportClient::SetHideCursorDuringCapture(true);
bCanRotateCamera = true;
}
void AMyCharacter::StopRotateCamera()
{
//GameViewportClient::SetHideCursorDuringCapture(false);
bCanRotateCamera = false;
}
Im trying to use SetHideCursorDuringCapture() to hide the cursor instead of the SetInputMode(FInputModeGameAndUI()) because i want to hide the cursor with RMB only… but i can’t reach it.
Also, i'm not even sure if this way will work in the first place.
That brings me to this piece code in the PlayerController that defines FInputModeGameAndUI()...
GameViewportClient.SetCaptureMouseOnClick(EMouseCaptureMode::CaptureDuringMouseDown);
you know… use CaptureDuringRightMouseDown instead of CaptureDuringMouseDown? But i am not sure how to do that right now 
- My project is based on TopDown template so my character moves with the mouse clicks and also with WSAD, that’s why i’m using Controller->StopMovement() so that WSAD can work…
But i noticed that the character briefly freezes instead of just changing the direction… it’s quite visible. I might have way how to fix it, but again i can’t reach to the UPathFollowingComponent::AbortMove().
(I think that change from the FPathFollowingResultFlags::MovementStop to FPathFollowingResultFlags::UserAbort might work.)
- Is there a function similar to the SetViewTargetWithBlend(), that doesn’t use Actors (Cameras) but Rotation? To switch from one ControlRotation to another smoothly? I have few functions that are using different rotations (CameraSpringArm->bEnableCameraRotationLag serves as the smooth thing) but that doesnt work with the FirstPersonCamera (it doesn’t have the CameraSpringArm).
- Is it possible to rename the character’s default SkeletalMeshComponent? Or delete it?
- How to assign the material for the SpawnDecalAtLocation()?
- I have function in the PlayerController that uses MoveForward and MoveRight functions defined in the character. That function works in the blueprint because in the blueprint i can uncheck the “Consume Input”. How to not consume input in the code?
Thats probably all for now .)
