where do i get BP_DMX_Gameinstance?

following tutorials about DMX and i have a problem

project settings → Maps & Modes
doesn’t show ‘BP_DMX_GameInstance’ as an option

i have all the plug-ins enabled
tried redownloading unreal engine several times

do i have to make one myself? or did i do something wrong

i only see this question being asked with no answers anywhere

just anybody say anything
call me an idiot and tell me anything

is it normal that i dont have that option or is something wrong
just tell me that anybody~

Did you create an empty project or did you use the dmx template? I can also recommend using the DMX previs sample project as a starting point. It has everything you need.

https://docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/Resources/Showcases/DMXPrevis/

https://www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/dmx-previs-sample?sessionInvalidated=true

i actually tried them both…
even with the previs project, i still couldn’t see bp_dmx_gameinstance as an option.

thx for the reply

What do you need it for?

i was following tutorials about controlling lights using dmx.

like in this video at 0:47, he sets game instance class to ‘bp_dmx_gameinstance’ without much explanation.

also we can see that he has bp_dmx_gameInstance in ‘dmx fixture content’ folder
but my ‘dmx fixture content’ folder doesn’t have it

Have you tried following the tutorial with skipping that step? I never saw that BP before and have it working perfectly fine. Maybe they took it out a few updates ago?

oh if that’s the case i might have done something wrong elsewhere.
i tried following the tutorial with skipping that step but it didn’t work for me so i thoght that must’ve been the problem.

i’ll try it again. thx!

if you can’t get it working, please contact me here. We’ll figure it out :slight_smile:

Just to let you know I solved the problem!
you were right, it works without selecting that gameinstance.
it turns out that i did something wrong on grandma2 which i used to get dmx input from.
