@bitinn UE's navigation is good for the basics but it hasn't had much work done on it since UE4 was released.
Our navigation system (mercuna.com) is intended to cover many more use cases (and can handle spawning and building nav volumes at runtime, which I think is what you wanted here).
If this is all you need it maybe isn't worth it - you can probably find a workaround, but if you generally want more than Unreal can offer it might be worth a look!
@mtothevizzah @solidangle Interesting - I’d also love to be able to use this as a benchmark for our navigation product but my reading of the licence is that is not allowed - especially given part of the point of doing that would be to be able to quote numbers to prospects.
A clarification on what is intended by the non-commercial restriction would be very welcome!
#unreal spooky story time! I just figured out a bonkers problem which goes like this:
1. A UPROPERTY which was initialised in a C++ constructor was becoming NULL by the time BeginPlay() was called
2. It only happened in Blueprints that had been duplicated from other blueprints. Creating a *identical* blueprint from scratch was fine
3. The blueprints had NO CODE in them
Wanna know why? The answer is actually quite simple, and maybe you already know. But it drove me insane for a good hour.
NVK live blogging? Why not!
Last week I was investigating a GPU crash with the OpenGL CTS on Zink+NVK. In particular, this test:
KHR-GL46.tessellation_shader.tessellation_control_to_tessellation_evaluation.gl_tessLevel
Upon first inspection, this test has some of the stupid simplest shaders ever. Why the hell was the hardware throwing an Out of Range Address exception?!?
@AngryAnt @runevision They seem to have gone from saying ‘creating a few hundred bytes of garbage every API call is definitely fine’ to ’I don’t understand the GC, it’s whatever the default is’ to ‘oh just use C++ if you care about perf’ 😬
At least the last position is correct, but it’s probably not what people coming over from Unity would expect.
