Using Custom Heads & Weapons (UEFN Fortnite Tutorial)

[@pondereditz]

"TEXTURES NOT SHOWING UP FIX" The solution is to navigate to your content drawer. Then, open the circle material applied to your mesh. Inside the material, click on the largest node (the thing you connected all the textures to). Once you click it, at the bottom left of the window, you will see the details tab. In this tab, there is a search bar; search for "usage." You will see multiple options. Check the box next to the option 'used with Niagara mesh particles. By doing this, your textures should work properly. (IF THIS HELPED LIKE IT SO MORE PEOPLE CAN SEE IT)

Great. But how do i do it with weapons like swords and vehicles. And can i make it with a trigger so that its on only when i press the trigger and after pressing the trigger again it turns off?

[@3riormrsup]

You would need to use an in-game weapon, then scale and transform the mesh to cover the weapon. By selecting the hand as the chosen socket, it should cover the weapon if you positioned the mesh right. You'd basically just be hiding the fortnite asset. but idk if this would work for vehicles.

@@ozerkahvecioglu1564 Yeah I'm not sure if there's a way to hide the effect when you switch weapons. I know that there's a "clear" function in the vfx powerup though so maybe you can figure something out with that.

thank you so much!! but can you do it with skeleton meshes?

[@buko.x3s595]

help please. is there anyway to completely remove the collision of props provided by UEFN. I have already selected "No Collision" under mesh in the details tab for the prop, and in the "StaticMeshComponent" in the details tab, under Collision --> "Collision Presets" I have set to "NoCollision" but the prop still has a collision. To be clear I want the player to be able to walk through the prop.

I learn so much from your videos! Everyone is voting for the new npc device tutorial. Here’s another vote.

[@despicableglee]

Import your static mesh and animations as a .fbx from blender. Make a blueprint actor from your static mesh. Add your blueprint to a custom character definition. Pick it from the drop-down in your npc spawner. Then use the verse code in the UEFN documentation. I think😁

[@SeniorfritoOfficial]

Anyone else running into a bug and being unable to remove the VFX? Initially I had mine set to infinite and then tried removing the vfx when the player entered a volume. Then I set it to be class based and switching classes on entering a volume didn't work. Then I just decided to try to make it time based. So I turned off infinite and set it to 3 seconds. It literally never goes away and I'm not entirely sure what's causing it other than a bug.

[@SeniorfritoOfficial]

I found that it's not actually an issue with the VFX Powerup device. It's the method that we're using to create the Niagra System. The system by default using this method will keep working infinitely whether you set infinite duration on the Powerup device or not. If you inspect the Niagra system properties you'll see everything is set to work infinite in a loop. For most people's use cases, this is perfect and you'll be happy with it working indefinitely until the player gets respawned. However, if you've thought of a use case to limit the amount of time that the VFX plays, you're going to have to edit the Niagra system to work for a limited time. I have NOT found out how to make it work infinitely and be affected by any of the duration settings in the VFX Powerup device. Or for example the way I originally wanted to make mine work, which was to have the Niagra system work indefinitely, but stop working on whatever event I bound the Clear function to. So if anyone else ends up having an idea where they want the VFX to fall off on an event bound in the VFX Powerup device, we need to come up with a solution. And I think the solution lies somewhere in the Niagra system settings. Makes me wish we could inspect the baked VFX that they use for the default effects like Glow and Outline. Because those stop working properly if you bind an event to the Clear function.

[@SeniorfritoOfficial]

I should have waited to update myself on this. I figured out why the VFX wasn't clearing out after following this tutorial. By default the Niagra system uses Self (Self being the Niagra system that you just created) to determine the lifecycle of the system. If you want your VFX to work like the official VFX that Epic makes, that can be controlled by devices, you need to change the Emitter State (under Emitter Update) to System instead of Self. This way the Niagra system is no longer in total control and you can set durations in the Powerup device, or if you wanted, set the Powerup device to Infinite Duration like what is said in this tutorial and use the Clear function to bind an event like entering a volume or some other event. Hope that makes sense to anyone else that was trying to do what I was doing.

[@boooooooop]

To fix the issue with having to respawn to remove the particle effects: If you keep the Particle State Module in Particle Update and set the lifetime to something like 0.1 seconds and switch the Spawn Burst Instantaneous Module for a Spawn Rate Module that's set to something like 10. It will function identically to your current setup but the particles will now expire after 0.1 seconds. Now you can use the Clear event on the VFX Powerup device to remove the effect. Annoyingly this event is not exposed in verse but you can bind the event to a Trigger device and activate the Trigger through verse instead. Hope this helps! 🤠
