Hello, I have an idea for a tutorial much like the one in this video. But for interiors of buildings. For example a suburb house. Say I purchased a house model thats only the exterior model off marketplace. I add a Volume(s)? inside the house model and place Doors and Window markers that line up to the exterior building model / texture. And the interior of the house will procedural generate. 1 Hallway. 1 or more rooms, each room must have a door an window. 1 lounge room 1 kitchen 1 Dining room 1 laundry 1 bathroom 1 toilet room 1 Front door "room" < No walls 1 Back door "room" < No walls That Suburb house actor BP etc. I then copy an paste it around in the level. The interior will always be slightly random an different to the other one. Maybe same layout but the room objects can also be placed randomly. Bed against the wall. or in the center?

[@REE-Animation]

@@v8matey you should be able to do something like that with the spawn system I did in part 2 Make spawn point for walls, spawn points for furniture against the wall. But you will have to make a lot of specific spawn points, because a table can’t be placed anywhere right..

Part 2 would be awesome! It would be cool to have something that adds elevation changes like stairs or elevators.

[@REE-Animation]

You are not the first one suggesting that 🙂

[@PhoenixArtistIvan]

I second this

[@bixarrio5251]

I've been building dungeons like this for a while (albeit in Unity). I believe elevation is built-in since the exits line up. If you make a room with stairs and put the exit at the top or bottom, the generator should place the next room at the correct place. Another addition is to add rules to the rooms and exits that specify what types of rooms can connect to what exit. So, you randomly pick an exit and then filter the list of available rooms based on the allowed types of the chosen exit. Then pick a room from the filtered list

[@REE-Animation]

@@bixarrio5251 yes.. It just works 🙂 Part 2 is up btw

IF every Dev tutorial explained the process like you, there would be less confusion for new aspiring devs. I was able to use your information and rewrite it in CPP. Thank you for the great tutorial. Just a side note. When you cast to box component, that is the cube you are choosing. To cast to the Box Collision (OverlapBox), you need to select your Box Collison (OverlapBox) in the Components Panel, then search for it in the Event Graph.

[@REE-Animation]

Thanks for the kind words ❤️ Are you saying that I’m casting to the geometry box and not the overlap box? But how is it still working then?

[@ronb.9850]

Yes, saying that though, I haven't tested what your new Collision setting is doing in the Collision presets. I'm still learning myself. And I'm doing this the same way you are at the moment. But, by the way it's set up as is seems to work fine.

[@ronb.9850]

I will try to remember to test and comment here later when I have time. After thinking about it, I maybe mistaken that you are casting to the cube component. Either way, it works!

Thanks.. I find it a little odd that people are requesting multiple levels. As you can basically just make a room with two floors, and then just set the new exit point on the second floor. And it should just work 🙂 But.. It’s on my part 2 to-do-list 👍

[@BelkaNaPleche]

Это просто невероятно круто!!! Спасибо тебе огромное, ты восхитительный человек!

[@ronb.9850]

Also, it is easier to select your Box Collision (OverlapBox) in your master room, create an event in the Event Graph, then go the the Dungeon Generator Event Graph, you can then cast to the Box Collision (OverlapBix).

[@REE-Animation]

Oh.. That is actually a good idea, and much simpler I think. Thank 🙂

[@collider4378]

Good suggestion and something I had been playing with but haven't figured out - can you clarify a little? In Master are you creating a custom event, or using the On Component Begin Overlap (Overlap Box) event? I find that overlap doesn't trigger if an actor is spawned on top of another one, only if one of the objects moves. Are you adding any additional code here (like destroy actor?) Thanks!

[@REE-Animation]

@@collider4378 I never trust begin overlap, as you say, when it spawn inside it doesn’t trigger overlap.. That is why check for overlap is much more solid

[@bibilicious]

Hey man, I just wanted to give you some tips; Creating and Destroying actors has a memory cost, so I would suggest making sure you can spawn an actor instead of destroying incorrect ones, so before you create a next room, you could do a trace (sphere, box) and check if there is anything already there, if yes, remove the random exit from the exits and reroll a random exit, it will eventually find one. Second, for procedural content in general, you want to work from streams (it will allow you to replicate behavior and bugs and fix them), so when using random nodes, try and use one with a stream (stream could be generated before you start creating the dungeon).

[@REE-Animation]

@@bibilicious Thanks.. Didn’t think or know about create/destroy cost.. Streams are covered in part two I believe ✊

@@REE-Animation is it the one in this video? I was more so trying to do the one that didn’t created memory inefficiencies? No offense to your tutorial, its a fantastic one!

[@REE-Animation]

@ Hehe.. I honestly don’t know anything about memory efficiency or anything like that. You probably know more about it than I do. If you can check for overlap before actually spawning the room, then that would be a good solution I think. I just don’t know how to do that 🤷

[@XD-iq1vr]

This is really amazing tutorial video bro! Thx!

[@REE-Animation]

@@XD-iq1vr No problem 🙂✊

[@fulydev]

On “Infinity Loop” or “Call Stack” error you guys can use “Delay Until Next Tick”, this delay will wait till next tick to fire off the spawn function again

[@mikedolan03]

perhaps instead of a timer or in addition - you could make an event that detects overlaps on the exit arrows - if they are colliding with something new - the removed themselves from the list of exits. this would prevent it from looping over a bunch of exits that dont exist. and then eventualy the exit list will reflect the real amount of exits and if you detect the list is 0 length you can declare the dungeon failed and regenerate a new one

[@REE-Animation]

Yeah. There’re probably many ways to solve this. It’s hard stuff for my brain to understand

1:37:50 I would not use a timer for this. On older or slower systems, this timer might cause an infinite loop or creating and destroying dungeons because the host computer is slow. If it were me, if there were no more room exits in the array, I'd have the script exit and call the dungeon complete...or, select the last room placed, delete it and place another that has more exits. Any sort of timer in procedural generation is a REALLY BAD IDEA from a host hardware pov. Especially when you start adding lots of meshes and the vertex count rapidly increases.

[@REE-Animation]

@@TheJMBon Alright, didn’t know that 😮 I honestly don’t know a lot about good practices in Unreal, and I probably shouldn’t be teaching anyone anything.. But most people are learning something from this, so I consider that a win. Despite the issues the system have 🙂

So the reason why the Floor and the OverLapBox did not align is the dimensions are off. To fix this (with the OverLapBox selected) Go to the details panel and in the category Shape > Box Extent set the dimensions to 50,50,50. This will match your default cube dimensions which are 100x100x100.

[@darkestdaysvideogame]

I was doing something like this for my game, but problem from design perspective is that you still want some control over your layout especially if you need certain things to actually appear, not too far not to close from spawn point so I decided to keep layout mostly the same but randomly generate things inside the room. But I believe you can create some integer to count the amount of rooms that spawned and after that to spawn the specific room you need. Also look into hiding rooms(actors) that are for example of 20k units from the player so it doesn't lag the game. Those additions could make for a good part 2 for people using your system.

[@REE-Animation]

Good suggestions.. But doesn’t unreal hide geometry outside of the camera view automatically?

@@REE-Animation I believe it does (not sure for nanite meshes), though I'm not sure if said actors stay in memory, if you were for example to generate to infinity (in the direction that player is moving).

Very nice totorial, I´ve found it very useful! I wouldn´t use timers to check for a closed dungeon but eliminating exits after an overlap and checking for exits > 0 before placing the next room. Also, overlapping seems not as the best way to make this, as it is easy for begginers to understand, but it´s really resourse inneficcient, I would use some logic check with a 2 dimension array (or 3 for a pro dungeon with different levels) to check for overlapping without generating anything so it doesn´t take so many resourses generating, colliding, eliminating.

The only thing I would change is rather than having the reset be based on time, I would have it get the number of rooms and check if the number of rooms created is greater than last time (set to zero at the first time the timer runs.).If it is greater than the last timer run then store the current number. If it isn't greater and dungeon complete is false then call the restart level.

[@REE-Animation]

But that would mean that it would reset every time a room fails… Right?

Great video! I would love to see this things if you plan to expand on this tutorial: - A Boss Room that spawns at the end (like before the closing walls Event) - Some way to avoid the same room spawn 2 o 3 times in a row (I mean 2 its fine, but 3 feels more repetitive) - Maybe an Event for "Unique Rooms" so it spawns one of them always in a Dungeon (Like a Chest Room, Healing Room or a Secret Room) Also Changes I made: - A Custom Start Room: Just made a smaller room similiar to the first one and replaced it in the Start Event. - Rooms with multiple floors: Just Made the walls higher, duplicated the floor (plus added some ramps) and moved the arrows to the elevated exits. Also made the Overlap box height like the height of the walls minus 1.

[@CrimsongCatDev]

Well I solved the Boss Room, heres how: - Made a Spawn Boss Room Event - This works similar to Spawn Room Event (the first nodes until "Set Latest Spawned Room" and the Object Class is the Boss Room instead of Random) but with a "Check Boss Overlap Event at the end" - Check Boss Overlap works like the Normal Overlap but replacing the Spawn Next Room with Spawn Boss Room and deleting the Room Amount stuff - In the end of this Event i put the Holes Event and the Dungeon Completed Stuff - Finally in the Check for Overlap Event, after Room Amount > 0, I put the Spawn Boss Room Event This might work for Unique Rooms aswell

[@REE-Animation]

Your changes are great 🙂👍 the multi floor solution is exactly how I would do it too.. Special rooms I have put on my part 2 to-do-list 👍 Same rooms spawning is something I’m not sure I can find a solution for. Other than removing used rooms from the list.. But I’m not sure that is the best solution, because some room would be fine to spawn multiple times.

[@CrimsongCatDev]

@@REE-Animation Yeah its a bit complex but I thought something like: - A variable of Room that stores the Type of room spawned - A boolean that checks if Last Room Spawned is equal to the Room Type stored - An Int that increments when the same room spawns - If Int > 2 remove the room and try again - If the´re not the same, spawn that room and reset the variables I have to try it, so I´ll update this comment if succedeed

[@REE-Animation]

@@CrimsongCatDev Yeah, it does require some more stuff in the rooms them selves if you want to categorize them in some way

I have a question, when I duplicate DungeonRoom 1 to create another room I can't delete the arrows (point 01:12:35). This is because it is related to the Master Room. What can I do? Great video anyway really excellent work, thank you so much my friend

[@CoopTv_YouTube]

I have another problem. although I put more rooms in the list of rooms, only 2 or 4 appear (I set the amount of rooms equal to 30) ps: I apologize but your tutorial is the only one that seems to work and you explain each step very well, so I want to ask you how to do it

[@REE-Animation]

@@CoopTv_KZbin don’t put any exit arrow in the master room. Put them in the child instead

@@CoopTv_KZbin not sure about this problem.. You sure you have done the same as I do in the video?

@@REE-Animation Thank you very much, I managed to solve the problem I made the changes to Dungeon Room 1 by eliminating the arrows from the Master Room and at that point everything worked correctly.

36:30 Following along, I seem to have an issue when connecting "selected Exit Point" to "get World Transform" It stretches out all room besides the starting room, I am fairly new to all this, and felt I did something wrong, restarting, it turns out this was the point that kind of broke everything for me.

[@REE-Animation]

@@realmofgaming7734 sound like the scale in the transform is wrong. You can right click the transform pins, and then only connect up location and rotation. Then leave scale alone

[@realmofgaming7734]

@@REE-Animation So, Running a sim, the scaling changes whenever I press play. Scaling is all fine up until the point of loading in the next room, I split the transform but am unable to connect both location and rotation, specifically the x=2.75 from 1, and Y=36 from one, lol. I have been messing with it, but trying not to break anything else

Is there a way to "force" the generator to load special rooms, like 1 boss room every run or someting like that .

[@REE-Animation]

I haven’t tried that. But I would probably after 10 rooms or so change the room list to another list with special rooms, and when that is placed, go back to the normal room list again..

[@GES1985]

I bet this can be used to make towns/cities too. You ought to give that a shot, and make a video tutorial. That would be awesome to use this for both things!

Hi! Cool tutorial! It is no needed to Spawn-Destroy every time on checking on overlap, I think that is expensive. Instead Arrows you can use a Struct of a little coliision boxs and respective arrows, and after spawning an every next room you could check on overlap of littile box collision with adjacent room and remove that Struct from Exit List. Regards, Andrew!

[@REE-Animation]

I think I know what you mean. And I DO need to find a better solution to this problem, thanks 🙂

@ 00:35:00 Right when I add the selected Exit point > Get world location and connect it to the spawn transform location It over laps the dungeon room but doesn't randomize the location of it. On top of that when I go to close the simulation, it gives me and error "Accessed None trying to read property selected exit point". Any help is so much appreciated.

[@REE-Animation]

@@papajohntv3560 it sounds like the exit point are not getting added correctly to the list/array.. Access none means there’re no exit arrows in the list, and that is why they are added at 0.0.0 on top of each other

What fixed it for me was: The Collision Box was larger than the actual floor Making the Exit Arrows invisible for the list. I rearranged the Collision Box to be smaller (Both Horizontally and Vertically, so X,Y and Z Axis) than the Floor and Roof (My Room has a roof) Should Fix the None Error

[@Timre23.1]

Great video my man. Sometimes it looks like you are stumbeling on purpose, and sometimes it think there must be a better way for things. Good content for learners Isnt there a way to use the green arrows to check for overlap AFTER a room has been placed. Then add those to a close wall list. Should be possible with less casting no? Interface maybe

[@REE-Animation]

@@Timre23.1 I think the best way is to spawn a simple room actor with only a collision box it in.. And if that is not overlapping, then destroy it and spawn the room. But that means you will have a simple room actor for each room
