Here's how we made the transformations in my game:

Hey! I made this stylized water shader in UE5. No map, no texture, 100% code and its available for free (link below) #indiedev #UE5 #shader

@geodraws_art Thank you for sharing this! It looks really outstanding…! I'm curious to know about two things: 1. Is that a Niagara System VFX effect…? 2. How did you create these character animations? Using Blender, Maya or something else?

Woah, apparently I started this in 2024… gonna call it done! #VFX #UnrealEngine #gamedev

@itsBaffled @seiko_dev This is great! Thank you, Jack, for sharing this reference documentation… They also provided a table which mentions which ones can be replaced with regular C++ implementations. This is useful to consider and refer going forward… ✌🏻

@apchavan @seiko_dev dev.epicgames.com/documentation/… They’re actually beginning to do the opposite, std should be used where applicable but yeah, once upon a time ago, they were creating abstractions for little reason other than to be “UE” code instead of std lib code

In #UnrealEngine, if you need min/max values for the specific data-types (like int, float, double) with their signed/unsigned/const and/or volatile counterparts, then `TNumericLimits` defines them in 'NumericLimits.h' header. #UnrealEngine5 #UE5Study #gamedevelopment #IndieDev

@itsBaffled @seiko_dev Hey Jack, thanks for commenting! :) I see your opinion is right for using 'std' for simpler things like this & won't make much difference. But as we know just like for other purposes I think they want to streamline by not wanting #GameDevs to directly rely on 'std' namespace…

@apchavan @seiko_dev Almost 0 reason to use that over std::numeric_limits, epic does stuff like this for no reason when a perfectly acceptable solution already exists, at least they’re startinggg to lean on std lib more for things like this

Let me know how often you used the `TNumericLimits` in your project for min/max values of different data-types...?

Let me know if you have any other resource that tells about String handling in #UnrealEngine? #gamedevlife #GameDev #IndieDev #UE5Study #UnrealEngine5

To read more about String handling in #UnrealEngine, check this documentation — dev.epicgames.com/documentation/… Bonus Tip: It also mentions why you should be using the `TEXT()` macro when setting string variable literals...!

String handling in #UnrealEngine5 is quite interesting & more specifically at first I got confused between `FName`, `FText` & `FString`. Each of these have important features that are useful in different situations. #gamedevlife #GameDev #IndieDev #UE5Study #UnrealEngine 🧵

Let me know whether you've managed additional inputs in Gameplay Ability itself? I'm curious to know your use cases! #UE5 #UE5Study #indiedev #GameplayAbilitySystem #UnrealEngine #GameDev

Other important steps include configuring necessary inputs using "Enhanced Input", & the corresponding 'PlayerController' to handle those inputs but from there, above steps mentioned are a high-level overview of how we manage additional input in specific Gameplay Ability itself!

#GameplayAbilitySystem in #UnrealEngine is an extremely powerful system that also allows #GameDev to customize a Gameplay Ability to process additional input to do other things in its logic! But how so? It needs both Blueprint & C++ setup. #UE5 #UE5Study #indiedev 🧵⤵️
