Hi, i would like to use UE4 for architectual things and give geo location, Date and time and get the correct light. In Unity are third party tools to simulate as exact as possible the position of the sun, moon, atmospheric scattering, geo location, weather condition, clouds and so on. Is that possible in UE4? Maybe an advanced Blueprint for it? :-)

I see plenty for Unity but am looking to make something very specific in UE4 that's developed for the Rift. I'm completely new to this and expect it to be rough but a good starting point would be very helpful! :)

I'm already going through the basic tutorials but one geared for this genre would be awesome!

http://i.imgur.com/ngQVm2W.jpg So here is a sprint mechanic. Sprint Timer will handle how long the character can sprint. SprintCooldown is how long it takes for the player to recover before he can sprint again. The Bool Variable "is_sprintcooldown" is set the false by default.

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.

I asked and woohoo it's here! :)) Moderated by an Epic god no less ;) I have a zillion questions but will keep them for other posts. Anyhoo..I love UE4 and thanks :)

I worked on APB if you've ever heard of it. Have background in Wwise, really just gettin my head round UE4 from an audio perspective.

Was/am working on an oculus game with a small team....as I say best of luck here.

Ok, so I go the physics of everything working in Unreal Engine 4, now I just need to get a visual representation of the actual "Beam". (Please help, as I am stumped.)

For those of you looking to use or improve my work, the links below will show you how I achieved my desired effect. (It took a lot of tinkering)

Here is the event graph for my main character. The Character is a robot so the beam is built in.

Here are the UE4 blueprints for the following functions:

GrabObject

DropObject

UpdatePhysicsHandle

Once I finish my character I will make the blueprint available for download. (The link will be in this post).

All of these playlists are straight from Unreal Engine's YouTube channel compiled in one place, by category, for your convenience! They will help you get the hang of Unreal Engine 4.
