Question: It is possible that a player puts its own objects in the game?

Development Asset Creation

Hello.

I am checking this amazing tool. Thanks creators, developers and generous people in general.

That’s the question: I would like to know if it is possible for a player while the runtime, place in the scene its own objects. I suppose that it is possible place preconfigured objects, e.g. a box, a coin…etc.

I am not able to find tutorial about this issue-I don’t know if it has a special name or topic. Could anyone show me a link or idea about the solution? I would really appreciate some indications to star with.

PD: excuse if I have some grammar errors. I am also working on my English :).

So that he will be abel to create his own objects and place it into the level? -> could you probably give us an example of what you want to create? :slight_smile:

Yep, that’s possible

Hope it’s not too off-topic from the OP, but is there a standard way to keep items you drop or pre-place in streamed levels from regenerating every time the level is unloaded and reloaded? I put a test piece of loot in a streamed area, but every time I loot the item, walk out to unload the level, and walk back in, the item regenerates.

Plus in your epic launcher there is an are called learn. many videos there and youtube.

It depends on how you spawn and destroy it -> normally when you use a “destroy” actor node, it should completely disappear from the map till you restart the game (havent tested it) :slight_smile:

Hi,

Thanks so much for your interest,

Well, I am just checking the engine and I am having probably crazy ideas.:slight_smile:

Let´s go with two examples.

1.-Imagine that you have an empty frame on a wall in a room and you want to play with a personal picture on it-e.g., a pet picture. So, having the picture in a usual format (tif, png, bmp…) Does the engine allow paste your image to this frame? through a dialog box during the runtime, for example.

2.-Might the player place its own meshes in the game? I think that’s possible because some popular games allows customization-even though I never used it. I am thinking about doing it as a usual feature or tool of the game.

Only to know that it is possible is Ok. Any help or indication will be more than wellcome. To be honest, I am studying but there is many material!

Thanks again!

Im here if u need help. Nut not many care like us.
List of games that where made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unreal_Engine_games

Any engine will do what u want it to. But non has Blueprints many here will argue that u should know C++ but I see that if the developers didnt see beyound they wouldn`t post this

://www.unrealenginetutorials/unreal-engine-4-c-or-blueprints/

Is why I was trin to make a blueprint bible.

  1. As far as I know this wont work “out of the box” so you will have to add this feature by your own -> the problem is, that you somehow have to import those pictures into the engine so that it can be used in a material https://answers.unrealengine/questions/75929/is-it-possible-to-load-bitmap-or-jpg-files-at-runt.html

  2. Same as above -> when the player should be abel to import his own stuff, then it will be tricky, otherwise you just use a combination between actor blueprints and “spawn actor from class” nodes

I looked for a link like that…but now I see I didn’t do very well. Thanks so much! It is a good beginning. I will check it to see this problems and see if I can improve it. In this case I will share.

Thanks again.

I am a Blueprint person because of my knowledge, but I don’t care to learn if it is worthy. Let’s see.

I think it is a great idea the blueprint bible or guide. Cheers.

Thanks again.
