Ah of course. I've done this a bunch of times by mistake, but never clocked it was just happening on target and I always removed them thinking it was wrong or would do something inconsistent..... So you can just drag as many items to target as you like and it runs for each.

Ah of course! I have done that before by mistake, but never ran it! I don't think I ever clocked it was just happening on the target pin and I always thought perhaps it would choose one based on the exec path or something, so removed it up to avoid ambiguity.

An unreal blueprint making an array of 4 scene components and then connecting the array to the target parameter of the function "Set Scalar Parameter Value On Materials"

An unreal blueprint making an array of 4 scene components and then connecting the array to the target parameter of the function "Set Scalar Parameter Value On Materials"

I just idly tried this as a joke & it worked. In Unreal Blueprints if you set a function's Target as an array of them, it calls it for each item!? Want to hide multiple things? Just give SetVisibility an array of scene components to hide instead of looping. Years without noticing this..... #gamedev

Also for an adventure game they've got the gamepad controls feeling pretty solid. It's working really well on Steam deck even though it's not verified yet.

The Drifter does such a good job of knowing when to use animation and when a good VO will sell it and keep it cinematic. Really rating it so far.

Pretty tempted by this. It looks great & it's got such a pleasing looking action. It's compact & loopable compared with other logic marble things. But it also looks like a lovely toy if you just want to send some balls on a journey without getting too puzzley.

Hey, Apple asked me to check that you are OK and getting the emails about your iCloud storage being full? Apparently they've sent you loads for ages and you haven't replied or done anything.

URGENT ACTION: Write to your MP to protest the Supreme Court ruling and the EHRC's proposals to impose draconian bans on trans people from single-sex spaces. The trans community is facing a major crisis in the UK after the Supreme Court ruled last week that for the purposes of The Equality Act 2010 sex should be classified as biological (i.e. as recorded a...

Since we are back at work in the UK today - it's a GREAT time to email your MP about the Supreme Court ruling and the threats to trans people as a result. I used this helpful guide to write to my MP. You should too.

An Unreal Editor details panel showing an array with it's elements titled from an ENUM

An Unreal Editor details panel showing an array with it's elements titled from an ENUM

UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, meta=(ArraySizeEnum="EYourEnum"))

FThingy MyThings[(int)EYourEnum::Num];

The meta ArraySizeEnum does the magic & you UMETA(Hidden) the Num so it's not listed.

Makes a nice fixed list which shows up in editor with ENum DisplayNames. And obviously you can just fetch by enum.

I feel like you were spying on me the other day procrastinating over maps or arrays for ages πŸ˜‚. I agree! It doesn't match your usecase criteria here, but I used a handy way to work with fixed enum sized arrays in Unreal that behaves nicely in editor. Writing it here incase it's handy :

Hello hayfever, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a pollen softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the pollen that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of sniffling... And itchy eyes... Ya bastard.

If you can fit a little motor in the base of a mug for those stirring mugs, surely you can pop in a little magnetron. Button on the handle. Sip the drink through a mesh lid to reduce face baking while drinking your scolding, hotter than boiling liquids. The perfect idea.
