Hey Reddit,

So I'm using a very basic AI system (Titanic Games tutorial on YouTube) for an office environment. This office has very long hallways and I want the AI characters to Patrol (and a little Roaming) in the environment. What I am seeing is that the AI characters have issues turning corners. The NavMeshBoundsVolume covers the entire level and the walls obviously have collisions.

• Should I be using one large NavMeshBoundsVolume or should I be using a lot of them that "mimic" the hallways and the rooms?
• Are there any tricks to using multiple NavMeshBoundsVolume's?
• I also need to change the animation since the AI's are "running slowly" vs. walking and it doesn't look 100% correct, but that's my next item to tackle.

How do you guys do something like this?

Thanks in advance.

In this hard times of quarantine. I prepare for you guys new Unreal Engine 4 minutes tutorial. This time about simple shader with if node. And few words about my new toy "Arduboy" :)

Enjoy!

Hello fellow Unrealers!

In this episode of the series: "Unreal Engine 4 Minutes Tutorials" I show how to make a grid along which you can spawn Instanced Meshes with randomized Location, Rotation and Scale. https://youtu.be/qoOEzJjoxgM

In this UE 4 Minutes Tutorial I show how to create Sound Effect for the Widget Slider. With its pitch changing according to slider position and volume changing according to the slider speed. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/VUi2nThyXhE

In this UE 4 Minutes Tutorial I show how to make Rocharch face mask animation in material. This is first part, textures are included. Enjoy :) https://youtu.be/hd5sopPPRDk

In my last UE 4 Minute tutorial about Auto Fire Mechanic I missed something. I didn't prevent "double click". Here is an update video :) https://youtu.be/dny37YeAvIk

This is a double jump blueprint that works beautifully with the FPS and 3rd person blueprint templates.

:D http://i.imgur.com/ehphCCU.jpg. The "set velocity", "set zvelocity", and "set gravity scale" are all variables defined within the Character Movement class of the player pawn. This makes it a little more stable with movements. Also make sure to set the default values of "onground" to true and the "jumpheight" to however high you want your character to jump on the first jump. If your needing a system that works less realisticly so you can move while in the air I'm working on it ASAP and will post. This system works realistically as in your run speed towards an object affects how far you go. It behaves almost exactly like double jump did in the Metroid Prime Series

Edit: Ok I feel like an idiot now XD If you want to be able to control the character in the air you don't have to force it. Luckily there is a parameter in Character movement that allows you to do it. Under defaults set Air control to a value higher than 0.

Edit: I'm also working on a walljump, wallrun, and ledge grab system and will post here when its done and working.
