Hey,
Maybe not a big deal here, but i’m just wondering some little question about performance.
I was playing with a pickup system these last days (but no destroy actor node in it, is it better with it ?).
The aim is to make a pickup system where the pickup could be picked by several players but only one at a time.
When a player is standing on it after the pickup was picked up, this one can’t re-appear.
When the pickup stays 3 seconds without someone overlap itself, it reappears and reset the DoOnce so someone else can pick it up.
So here is the question : What’s the best way to make it between both pictures below ?
Both are working, and I think there is no big difference in performance costs for one pickup like that, but let’s multiply these blueprints a bit, and what’s the best ?
- First one is using an integer variable that i increment or decrement for checking how many actors I got on my PickUpCollision Box
- Second one is using the GetOverlapping function and table.
AND NOW… The Bonus Question !!! haha !
Well nothing directly linked with this question above, but linked with Blueprint, and I didn’t want to make a new topic for it. There is already another one existing here about this but no answer =(
Here is the link : https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/blueprint-visual-scripting/73587-difference-between-add-component-via-blueprint-and-editor
So, as this post says :
What’s the difference between the “Add component” button in the component panel and the “add component nodes” ?
And why, when I add, let’s says a “AddArrowComponent” node in the Construction Script, this one doesn’t show up in the Component panel ?
(There is just the “Defaultsceneroot” component in the component panel and not the arrows, even though these ones are well-added)
It could have been convenient to see them directly there.
Perhaps, I’m doing something wrong but I just wanted to know.
Thanks in advance !
Have a great day !
