@@RikkuVR Your channel makes me learn and laugh. Expect a sub from all of my accounts

@@pointtothestars thank youu Pixel Age

[@Dantheon]

Hi Rikku, great stuff as always. Just checking, should the TwitchWorks node system be in the level blueprint or just an actor blueprint?

[@RikkuVR]

you can do it either way! If it's in the lvl BP, referencing everything in the LVL is easier but if it is it's own BP its easier to use it in multiple lvls!

[@mrgoob76]

hey rikku got a question for you.. does unreal and all the trackers etc do you know if that works in linux? or windows only?

[@RikkuVR]

sorry no idea...it uses steamVR and openXR, if those work on linux, I'm assuming this would too but never tested it

[@HexFable]

Do you mind doing a tutorial on Kawaii Physics, you have so many great tutorials!

[@RikkuVR]

Already in the works :)

[@MJTheJetPlane]

can you show how to build after making the twitch commands? I'm trying to understand what is it we need to do after doing all this. I noticed you didn't put anything in the twitch login API URL sections so I also wanted to know what else I need to add there

[@RikkuVR]

what do you mean after twitch commands? I have a vid on how to setup the twiworks login itself...I'm not using any URL cause I use local login so no server needed

[@RikkuVR]

or do you mean setting up a scene generally?^^

[@MJTheJetPlane]

@@RikkuVR Ah just meant like when you built the game. Cause when i build the game, when i try to authorize the twitch, it doesn't work. but it works in editor and I know keeping the engine open eats up a lot of power ;-; and resources

[@RikkuVR]

you might need to move twiworks into the plugins of your project then...if its still not working it might not like to be packaged...I'm always running editor cause im working daily on my stuff^^

[@Spookydigy]

in UE 5.3 I'm trying to get a reference point of a target I setup that will throw an item. The tutorial I am following tells me to click on the target to get reference point but right clicking in the event graph does not have what your video shows. Is there another way to get a target reference point in 5.3.2?

[@RikkuVR]

Hey! Getting that reference for that target point only works if you are using the levelBP, not an actor BP...so I setup the general twitch nodes in levelBP and spawn actors from there

[@Spookydigy]

@@RikkuVR we talked earlier in discord, thank you Rikku!

[@ShayTaylor-si3dp]

Hey Rikko, I did the previous lesson and this one, however idk what i'm missing when it comes to the level BP. TLDR. I did the nodes shown, and tried CTRLV the last lesson into it but run into unable to find twitch chat as an issue when compiling. How do i set up the pre necessary nodes to get to this in a blank level?

[@RikkuVR]

Hey Shay! I'm not sure what exactly your issue is rn...do you mean you couldnt create a chat variable?

[@ShayTaylor-si3dp]

@@RikkuVR So i did the BP Actor of the last video, and this video is mentioning to do it in the level blueprint. And i just cant seem to wrap my head around how to make it work in the level blueprint.. Can i somehow use this set up with the BP actor instead?

[@RikkuVR]

@@ShayTaylor-si3dp you could use it with the actorBP, it should be the same setup. Reason why I used lvlBP instead is because I can reference actors more easily from there, at least for my specific setup...but if you got it working in the actorBP you might need to either cast directly to other objects you want to control or use Blueprint interfaces (way cleaner way and also pretty simple to setup once you understand the concept)

[@ShayTaylor-si3dp]

@@RikkuVR OH, right that was my hang up. First, thanks for taking the time rikku wtf your so nice T.T I feel like thats all a little out of my league, may i join your discord and ask for a screenshot as to a level BP you use? Just so i can set up the pre requisites?

[@RikkuVR]

@@ShayTaylor-si3dp sure come join! we have a dedicated channel for Unreal stuff so just throw everything in there lol

[@Alec_Woldt]

[@RikkuVR]

not yet unfortunately

[@Alec_Woldt]

@@RikkuVR dam hope there will be one soon or have qi be able to read the web chat and trigger objects that way

[@RikkuVR]

@@Alec_Woldt the YT api is open to test so I got something working within some javascript stuff but not inside UE yet

[@Alec_Woldt]

@@RikkuVR you doing it inside unity3d?

@@Alec_Woldt nope its Unreal Engine 5

[@matrixmew6185]

can u play dynasties & distopia plss

[@RikkuVR]

uuuh what?

[@FabstaPizza]

How could I do the FBI thing but on follow? I want an FBI open with a bunch of gift boxes to fly out of it.

[@RikkuVR]

unfortunately TwiWorks doesnt support "onfollow" events so you'd have do build a workaround with a textbot or something similar

[@dae1242]

Are you to play more beat saber

[@RikkuVR]

probably not at least not on KZbin
