Mission & Objectives

[Tefel]

Loving this plugin so far - I have noticed 1 thing though:
Scripted actions cannot access GameplayStatics functions such as "GetAllActorsOfClass". Obviously this can be gotten around by just having a function on the Player Character that calls get all actors of class and then performs the functionality, but I'm wondering whether it would be possible for you to enable this functionality within the scripted actions?

I understand that the scripted actions are UObjects and thus don't inherently have a world. Is it possible for you to create a Blueprint callable function called "GetAllActorsOfClassInPlayer'sWorld" with an input pin for the Player Controller/ Player Pawn as the world context object, and then the function just uses the player's world to get all actors of class and spit them back out as an array in the scripted action?


For instance

void GetAllActorsOfClassInPlayersWorld(APawn* InPlayerPawn, TSubclassOf AActor ActorClass, TArrayAActor& OutActors)
{

OutActors.Reset();

if (InPlayerPawn && ActorClass)
{

UGameplayStatics::GetAllActorsOfClass(InPlayerPawn, ActorClass, OutActors);
}
}

This would just save populating the player pawn with all this functionality when I could just (in my scripted action) find all the actors of a certain class and call some bespoke action upon them.

Great work on this plugin btw, I was about to write a similar system when I found your plugin on the marketplace and it saved me time (and it comes with snazzy editor UI for my designers!). I hope you take my suggestion into consideration.

EDIT: For some reason the code tag deletes the AActor in triangular brackets where I'm trying to use it in the function params

GREAT NEWS!


It is limitation of UObject which is not part of the world. Because all static and function library methods works with world context object it cannot be used.
I implemented providing World for it so now it should support all Static and World blueprint functions!
Going to update plugin soon, enjoy!

I just submitted update for it. So it should be in the Engine soon - approval usually it takes 1-2 days. I also updated a little bit blueprints so project itself is also new, but not many changes in functionality.

Next thing I want to tackle is Co-op mode next weekend. Cheers!

Tefel Can you re-upload the 4.21 project files? The 4.21 project file shown on the store page seems to be a 4.22 project.

Hey, I will do it, but I won't be able to during Easter. You can expect 4.21 project in addition to 4.22 after Easter.

Tefel I didn't see you'd replied - I should subscribe to this thread!

Great to hear you added the improvements, I'm actually using a custom version of your plugin that I've added various bits to, so I'll make sure to upgrade it at some point to match the latest.

When I eventually update, I'll let you know of any other bits I've added that aren't in the main plugin - They've been of great use to me, so fingers crossed those additional tid-bits would be helpful to others.

Sounds great. If you share your updates I will look into them and promote so other can also use these improvements!

Just submitted update for the plugin with fixes, more functions exposed for Game Designers.



Project also got update to reflect these changes and show a little bit more examples.
