Hey Everyone,
Before I get into a description of the issue, I would just like to say that the blueprint work is by far not my finest, I’m 10000% Adamant there are better ways to achieve this effect but for some unknown reason my brain fails to think of them. I’m usually quite good solving logic based problems but this one is really stumping me. So here we go…
I’m working on a personal project that is somewhat a supermarket simulator all be it less micro-managing. The project is a C++ as I have recently started getting back into it after a long while away from programming.
Q: What is the most common/simplified way to represent a visual change in Blueprints based off a given value.
Example: Currently I have a Delivery Truck which has an inventory. Once the truck arrives at the unloading area. It proceeds to unload X amount of products per second. For each lets say 100 of X I would like a static mesh of a box to be placed on the loading area(A pallet).
Example2: I intend to have the quantity of products on a shelf visually represented. Not 1 for 1 but by whatever factor I decide, for example 10 bread in value would represent 1 physical bread on the shelf.
This Code (Despite how monstrous ) Effectively unhides a box for every 100 of a product the unloading area has. This works successfully however I’m unsure how to even reverse this so the boxes also disappear when products are taken out of the unloading area.
Like I mentioned before though, This is a C++ project so the more I can do in code than blueprints the better. I was just assuming that visual effects like I am trying to obtain would have been easier in Blueprints. I have just tried to put as much Information in this post as possible as I find it hard to even explain what I mean.
Many Thanks
Alex
