Very straightforward! Thanks for this.

Hi Tharle, thank you for your excellent content. I'd like to try and encapsulate some of the nodes in my niagara module script into a function, but im not sure if its possible. I tried to make a Niagara Function Script with my logic inside, but it wont allow to be dragged into my Niagara Module Script graph, im not sure how to make a function for use in a module, or what is the intended use for a Niagara function Script, or what is the difference between a niagara module script and a niagara function script..

I love you, so much

Thank you for sharing! Very helpful and much appreciated!

Where do you recommend looking for courses/resources for user modules? I know it's using a TON of vectorial math but I can't seem to find names for some nodes I'm looking for. I'm a beginner but not quite, I understand the concept but can't seem to find much documentation on this, unlike regular blueprints. Do you know any specific tutorial series/courses, a bit more comprehensive than the very basics.

[@danieles6684]

I don't know if this will help you, but I unfortunately have to search the unreal source code sometimes to see how some of these things work if I'm unable to find documentation. For instance, I was wanting to recreate the rotator effect but for hovering recently, and I couldn't find anything but ridiculously overcomplicated tutorials that didn't even work for me. I tried searching for some of the terms I assumed would be associated with the internal function calls the rotator would use, but I couldn't find anything useful. Finally I just went to the source code to see how the component was finding the root and moving it. I was then able to call the functions and make a very streamlined version of what I needed.

Hello! What is that blue category that system settings is under on the left of your niagara system? I'm trying to create that but can't find out how

[@tharlevfx]

It sounds like you’re trying to edit an emitter - you need to turn it into a system to get the system settings

I have a Niagara effect that reacts to an ambient sound placed in the level via a Niagara Module Script. I want to render the scene in sequencer or movie render queue but unfortunately when doing so the audio plays in realtime while the effect naturally takes a little longer to render meaning that the reactive effect is out of sync with the sound. I am wondering/hoping that there is a way to bake (?) the audio so that it will render in sync with the effect… Or perhaps there is a way to extract the audio spectrum, feed it to the Audio spectrum node in the module script over the same duration as the song… would that work? and how might i do it if it would - I am new to niagara and blueprints so any and all help would make me eternally grateful!

[@tharlevfx]

i'm afraid i've never done anything with audio and niagara yet - but its a much requested feature so i will try and do some research and a video on it when i can!

[@shallowpixels4855]

@@tharlevfx Oh please I would love that - specifically relating to extracting the audio frequency and sending the data back over the duration of the song to niagara so it can be recorded without losing sync

@@tharlevfx For what it's worth, I didn't notice anything problematic (until some rustling / bass bumping at the end), and my speakers usually pick up on that stuff pretty well.
