Sorry to hear you ran into this error. Can you provide more details about it? A quick way to make sure the property is actually set during runtime as well is to check the blueprint debugger for the blueprint and check the variable. Also, sometimes if it looks like it's being set in the debugger, you might want to add a delay before grabbing the variable after immediately setting it in the gameinstance.

@@eternalstellargames Thanks for the reply and the tipp but since then i solved my problem by using level streaming instead.

I hope my tutorial worked for you! If it didn't, what part did you get stuck on?

@@eternalstellargames I figured it out, it had something to do with setting up the input mapping correctly. Thanks for the help tho.

Glad it could help!

The engineer class was the goat. Thank you so much!

As long as you create an object in the game instance, you should be able to set it in a level. Let me look into that and get back to you on it!

@@eternalstellargames I just solved it, not sure if that was the best option, long story short I had to make all my objects Blueprints actors, get them and in a second level and spawn them depending on its class. It worked as I wanted to :) if you have a better option please let me know

I'm glad you were able to find a solution! What class are your objects? You will need to create a variable/reference of the same object type within the game instance in order to properly store it.

@@eternalstellargames Well I actually had two, because I needed two types of SM; I “stored” them using “get all actors” from overlapping or something like that, getting theirs class and spawn them in a second level, I was confused at first but then everything made sense, I cannot “send” same objects from one level to other, I had to create them again. Anyways, great video, I based my project on this one :)

It should be pretty similar in 5.2 but I'm happy to make an updated video!

@@eternalstellargames please because I found a way but if you spam left click theirs no delay and it could be faster than the full auto that i did if you click fast enough

So, are you wanting it so that if you spam click there is a forced delay between when the weapon is actually allowed to shoot? Similar to semi-auto rifles in popular shooters like battlefield?

@@eternalstellargames yeah but still be able to hold the shoot button

Yes, perforce is free.

@@eternalstellargames thank you~

Compounding the issue is that people blow through games faster then ever, and turn around and complain simultaneously about how it takes too long to get to "end game" and thats there not enough "end game" to keep them busy indefinitely. The shift to extrinsic motivators makes it hard for even a good game play loop to sustain itself. Which in turn lead to almost half of the "complexity" seen in modern games, in the form of progression trees, collections, achievements, ever growing stat blocks, crafting systems, secondary and tertiary economies, personal spaces, cosmetics for social spaces, base building, character customization, etc.

for me is 2004-2011. The late 90s' were also pretty strong.

Glad you like them! Thank you!

Thank you for your feedback, it is much appreciated!

I absolutely love that game, still one of my favorites!

Exactly, trust for these studios will take time to return. I think until then, the hope for better games lies within indie and AA studios. Thanks for the comment!

You know, I think it was actually COD that kicked off the microtransaction trend, and then 343 kinda jumped on the bandwagon with Halo 5's REQ packs. I really miss those Halo 3 and Reach days, especially customizing Elites. The whole battle royale craze is huge now, though Halo's Last Spartan Standing didn't quite nail it, I reckon. I'm with you in hoping games shift back to just being fun, instead of feeling like a second job. Here's hoping for a return to those simpler times in gaming!

Lets be real it all started with $10 Horse armor. lol@@eternalstellargames

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! I'll keep it up!

I'll look into it. Thank you for the recommendation!

I would look into the "Windows RawInput" plugin. The issue with ps4 controllers is they aren't natively supported by windows so it will take some configuring with windows and with unreal engine to get it working. However, it is most definitely possible to get working! I just don't have experience with it yet as I target my games for PC and Xbox.

@@eternalstellargames Ok maybe I should just acquire an xbox controller? I find mouse and keyboard limited for tested level design. Thanks

@@WHAT-bz6hp That is what I would recommend. Most people who play games on PC that use a controller will be using an Xbox controller or something similar. I use an Xbox controller for my testing and design. Furthermore, if you wanted to ever port your game to PlayStation, setting it up for a PlayStation controller wouldn't be super difficult. Hope that helps!

Make sure that directly above the variable in c++ you have the following. "UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)" If you don't, you won't be able to see it in the blueprint child. Let me know if that worked!

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for the kind words! Hmm I hadn't really thought about what the backend C++ code might look like for it. I'm going to look into this and see if I can replicate what you did. I greatly appreciate the feedback and idea. If I get success with it, I'll make another video over it and test it. Take Care!

@@eternalstellargames My method is a bit different than yours as I am dynamically adding the widgets into my keybind menu for every registered action and key in the contexts I provide it. However, the main code action is the same in terms of the events called. This code is what's in my OnKeySelected() event when the user chooses which key to select. Note that "widget->mappingIndex" is my way of knowing which dynamic widget I used. Since you have a static menu you can replace that with whatever index you want to get your mapping. TArray<TObjectPtr<UInputModifier>> modifiers = selectedMappingContext->GetMapping(widget->mappingIndex).Modifiers; TArray<TObjectPtr<UInputTrigger>> triggers = selectedMappingContext->GetMapping(widget->mappingIndex).Triggers; selectedMappingContext->GetMapping(widget->mappingIndex).Key = NewKey.Key; selectedMappingContext->GetMapping(widget->mappingIndex).Modifiers = modifiers; selectedMappingContext->GetMapping(widget->mappingIndex).Triggers = triggers; UEnhancedInputLibrary::RequestRebuildControlMappingsUsingContext(selectedMappingContext.Get(), true); All the function calls that you see here are visible in blueprints as I noted. In blueprints the saved triggers and modifiers would be local variables.

Thanks homie, I really appreciate it!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in UE5 I believe they changed the individual equals node into a universal equals node that can have almost any variable type plugged into it for comparison besides like structures. Hope that helps!

Thanks Alex, I appreciate it! So, when it comes to vehicle inputs, how you go about it depends on if it's a wheeled vehicle or like a sci-fi vehicle. Assuming you are doing a wheeled vehicle, it's pretty complicated. But you'll set up the input mapping context like normal and the event callers as normal. Making the vehicle turn and everything is where it gets complex. There is a plugin built by Epic games called ChoasVehiclesPlugin that has a lot of helper functions and set up for wheeled vehicles. I would recommend installing that plugin and using it. I'll probably make a video covering it in the future! For now, here is the link to the basic UE5 documentation covering it: "docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/how-to-set-up-vehicles-in-unreal-engine/". Let me know if you have any more questions, happy to help!
