This is one of the rarest channels where I like the video before I watch it, btw nice tutorial :)

[@MattAspland]

Thank you so much mate! That really means a lot to me :)

2:24 I cant find decal blend mode

[@Josh_Makes_Games]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, literally been searching for this for a week

[@cantthinkofaname925]

Nice upload! I have a small question, Are you able to do this but using a normal map or height map to create for example a deep cut effect?

[@TiNNx]

Nice and simple tutorial, very cool.

[@MattAspland]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@victordayet]

Great tutorial! Thanks a lot

[@letsplaysomthing3799]

what about distance just u wana make arrow impact decal and i need it small, so when i hit somthing i must be realy close to can see decal how i can fix that

[@BenLeskoGD]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. I know it's on older video, but how can I make the decals to spawn only on certain actors (like, just on walls but not on NPCs)? Now that I'm thinking, an itHasTag node would do the trick for me? :)

[@crossbonesI]

Incase you have the same question yet: add a group of variables with a branch node (IF) to the hit event. these variables may be in the excluded actors.

[@SolantisA]

Wouldn't it be easier to just save the image with an alpha channel? Or is there a reason why you put a white background so that you can chromakey it out and leave behind a white edge that is gonna be noticeable on non grey surfaces?

[@JAYDEGARROW]

wow thank you. this was the only tutorial that worked for me

[@Chareidos]

Is there a way of blending between two base-textures with hit detection and do it localized? Like throwing paint balls at objects and characters, registering the hit at the location and changing the color respectively dependend on what kind of particle (different paint colors) was hitting?

[@syahidbaddry3009]

can you make different decal when hit different object??

[@MattAspland]

You can do that yeah, I can add that to my list too if you want! :)

[@syahidbaddry3009]

@@MattAspland thanks,i will wait

[@playsmart5251]

The decal fades out when I walk far away from it, any idea why?

[@playsmart5251]

Fixed. Added a node called "Set fade screen size" and set it no 0. Now it doesn't fade out

[@GrepidYT]

@@playsmart5251 Even though its 4 months old, thank you for replying to your old message as this helped me out :) Was thinking it may be some LOD Business but would never have guessed it was this. Thanks again :)

[@SkullsForSale]

Dude Yes Thank you

[@jake87irwin]

@@playsmart5251 What about making the decal appear on Painted Foliage like a tree trunk. It will work on single placed trees but when i shoot a painted tree I get an error from the "Set fade screen size"

[@raisgamesnz325]

Thank you so much for this video! You make amazing tutorials!

The bullet hole disappear when i go to 7 steps and reapear when i go closer to the wall (idk if i maked a mistake but i think i didn't maked a mistake)

[@theofficialamt6626]

This is such a great Tutorial!

[@MattAspland]

Thanks man, happy to hear it helped :)

[@ChrisGrant-kj9pr]

What about bullet holes on different surfaces?

[@JKordero]

Thank you so much, thanks to you now my bullets hits and shows a particle system at the hit location. Keep the hard work, dude!

[@daltmandev]

Great tutorial but how would you do this with linetracing?

[@MattAspland]

Thanks man, and what you could do is for the linetrace is "break out result" and for the "hit location" that is where you would spawn the decal. So the same as this video, but on the "break hit result" instead of "event hit".

[@flyingroads3498]

How to spawn different decals depending on surface?

[@MikeCnicE1]

My Decal only spawns on actors set to simulate physics. Is this normal? What did I miss?

[@rahatmorshednabil9491]

Great tutorial!!

[@Seraian1]

I tried this using ray casts. It works for the most part but the material disappears at certain camera angles/mainly when directly looking at it. Is being in third person causing an issue?

[@vaughanmacegan4012]

So did I, so far, no problems, but, I was using C++ and not blueprints.

[@delgadoazorin]

Great! Thanks.

[@MattAspland]

You're welcome!

[@nextanvil3346]

Hey there! Um I was thinking when I was searching how to make an online multiplayer I though it would work but I did all the right steps and it didn't work I tried all the tutorials and I am not sure if the creators are lying or not. Since I like your tutorials can you explain it to me why its not working or maybe tell your experience about it I really want to get it out of my chest. Thank you

[@Ghost-zk6ny]

[@robertmod7321]

but how to spawn random bulletholes?

[@MattAspland]

Hey, I'll link a screenshot down below of the code I made. What we could do is out of the "Return Value" for our "Spawn Decal Attached" we will "Set Decal Material". The new material for this will be a switch. In here you can add as many pins as you want for the amount of materials/bulletholes you have. Then we will create a new variable named "Material/Bullethole 1" and set this to be a "Material Object Reference". Again create as many of these as you want. Then plug these into the options on the switch. As for the "Index" we will simply get a "Random Integer In Range" with the min as 0 and max as how ever many options you have. This will then give you a random bullethole on each shot. Hope this helps and makes sense :) imgur.com/a/CQIaHMK

[@robertmod7321]

@@MattAspland wow thanks

[@MattAspland]

@@robertmod7321 No problem, happy to help :)

[@1d33f1x3]

@@MattAspland I was thinking of something similar, maybe an array of decal textures that you pick a random integer from. Would it save a step/be more efficient to pick the random material first then spawn the decal? Instead of spawning and then changing the decal. Also, instead of picking a random decal you could have decals for different surfaces or objects, and pick the appropriate one based on the hit component (one for glass, one for metal, wood, concrete, etc).

[@redfoxsis]

Very good ;)

[@MattAspland]

Thank you :)

[@ViewMyBits]

What would it look like if you shot a something with a bumpy mesh?

[@MattAspland]

Since we are using decals, with this method the bullet hole will essentially 'wrap' around the bumps in the material. The decal will always stay stuck onto the surface it is on.

​@@MattAspland Already found a very good tutorial on just changing the material of the Projectile to a Laser Material and then scaling the Projectile so it fits for a laser, but how can I disable the Physics of the Projectile so it doesn't bounces? ( I'm using the FPS Sample Project of UE )

[@MattAspland]

​@@prudah7771 Hi, that's great. If you open up the projectile blueprint and select "Projectile" in the top left components list. Then in the top right, search for "Should Bounce" and disable that, so untick it. This should prevent it from bouncing. Hope this helps :)
