I guess maybe grab the sweep result from the SetActorLocation and only apply the rotation if InitialOverlap = false?

Anyone know of workarounds on how to make SetActorRotation on an obj sweep properly? My boat is moved via SetActorLocation/Rotation. SetLocation has a sweep option, so if I move forward (without rotating) I collide properly. But if I don't move and only rotate, I clip through!

First house design done!

🚨Teeto is out now!!🚨 Grab it now on Steam, PS5 & Switch 1/2! It’s been such a crazy journey over the past 2.5 years and we can’t thank you all enough for all the love + support. Help us out by sharing this round so we can let everyone know our 3D platformer is available!

@WeVennStudios Not yet! I need to decide on a name for the game first and naming things is HARD 🤣

@DMeville Cool! Are you guys on steam?

Working on cleaning up the wallpaper/flooring items. Got proper previews in the house now!

@WeVennStudios Cozy multiplayer fishing game, decorate your house/boat with your friends as you explore the islands and catch all the fish!

@DMeville Cleaning wallpaper/flooring... proper previews in house now. What kind of house building game is this?

System is easy to set up with as many different materials for flooring/wallpaper as I want (even animated ones!) and they're all colour-customizable just like all other furnitures!

Doing this kind of UI stuff is my least favorite gamedev thing though. I'm struggling so hard to make a passable UI. Adding animations does make it instantly feel way more fun though!

Made this little item details panel today

@LowpolyLili Fantastic work! It's so pretty!

I had the opportunity to write an article about my latest environment, Evergrove and how I tackled building the environment! Link to article: 80.lv/articles/sculp…

(trying to design a "details" panel in the inventory, that shows item preview and other info, thought it looked like a playing card. Maybe I should make a tcg)

Crab trading card

Making some huge placeable building parts, I realized I can't take them to the customization shop to change their colours like normal furnitures, so I added paint that you can drop on any item!

@OutoftheboxP 👀Probably not enough to try out something so new, I'd probably end up breaking things

@DMeville How much do you like risk? Lore is out (not production ready but available).

Unreal Devs: What do you use for version control? Where do you host? Need to migrate my SVN repo to a new host (old host is shutting down), or choose a new vc+host, and looking for suggestions/input. I solo dev. I like simple. I just throw all my files into the repo

@Tyberious Really? I guess I assumed there was more too it. Are you doing something for automatic backups? Where are you hosting it? What's the cost like?

@DMeville I set ours up like 6 years ago and i havent had to look at it since.

My server host that I've been using SVN with for all my version control (for the last decade!) apparently decided they are fully removing SVN support. I found out today when I couldn't connect to my repo! So annoyed, having to deal with this instead of getting actual work done :|

@Tyberious I just want to work on my game, not learn how to wear yet another hat to manage this stuff lol

@DMeville Thank goodness docker exists and you can host yourself.

@kronovix1 Are you using it? Anything about it you don't like? Been reading about it all day today and might end up going with this, seems simple to use

@DMeville Diversion, integrated directly into UE with perforce like syncing but with github's ease of use. Free for the first 100GB. Really really good.

@OverJumpRally How's that to setup? How is that to use? Honestly, I've heard so many horror stories of frustration about Perforce, even though I know it's _industry standard_

@DMeville Perforce Helix!

@nafonsopt @smug_dev @myriadbytes 😆🙏

@DMeville @smug_dev @myriadbytes Just noticed I was actually talking to you on bsky :D
