Mainly there're 3 types of "Duration Policy" for Gameplay Effects in Unreal Engine.— What this "Duration Policy" is?"Duration Policy" describes the policy of duration for any Gameplay Effect & it can be either:[1] Instant:This effect applies instantly. The modifiers applied instantly in a one-off action. These are the permanent effects since they affect the Base value of an Attribute.[2] Infinite:This effect lasts forever until you manually remove them. These affect the Current value of an Attribute which can be reverted once the effect is removed.[3] Has Duration:The duration of this effect will be specified by a 'Duration Magnitude'. These effects will get removed automatically & can modify an Attribute for a period of time after which that modification is un-done. They also affect Attribute's Current value.— Periodic Gameplay Effect —These are special flavors of above Duration or Infinite effects. But the periodic changes they execute are treated like Instant effects that changes the Base value of an Attribute.Have you used any of these Gameplay Effect types before?If you enjoyed, please share this post with your GameDev network! 🙂#GameDevelopment #GameDev #Programming #UnrealEngine #UE5 #IndieDev #IndieGames

Gameplay Effects from Unreal Engine can change Attributes via "Modifiers".— How can "Modifiers" affect Attributes?Modifiers specify the type of operation to be performed on specific Attribute. These modifiers take a value, called as "Magnitude", i.e. used to change the Attribute based on modifier operation (or Modifier Op). Modifier Op can be either Add, Multiply, Divide or Override.But the Magnitude itself is produced from calculations like —[1] Scalable Float:Simplest type where you can specify a hard-coded value or use a Curve Table that can scale the magnitude based on Gameplay Effect level.[2] Attribute Based:Uses another attribute's value with formula having Pre, Post & Coefficient to compute the magnitude.[3] Custom Calculation Class or Modifier Magnitude Calculations (MMC):Custom class that can use another attribute's value & also can use non-attribute variables like player's level.[4] Set by Caller:The key-value pair assigning a magnitude associated with a name or Gameplay Tag. It's useful if you want to set the modifier's magnitude based on the code logic at the time you created the Gameplay Effect or apply it.Let me know which of these Magnitude Calculation Types you've used before?If you enjoyed, please share this post with your GameDev network! 🙂#GameDevelopment #GameDev #Programming #UnrealEngine #UE5 #IndieDev #IndieGames

In my Unreal Engine project "Get Goo'd," I integrated Enhanced Input User Settings for remappable actions, enhancing gameplay accessibility and customization. Using my UI Settings Entry class, I seamlessly enabled separate remapping for gamepad and keyboard controls via KeySlots.Additionally, I also added a system to display the Keybindings in the Loading Screen. This involved setting up a system that updates keybindings and displays appropriate icons during loading, providing continuous visual feedback to the player.To achieve this, I set up the Loading Screen using a Loading Screen Subsystem and utilized the Movie Player to show the Loading Screen when transitioning between maps. This ensures that the loading screen runs on the Slate thread while the game thread is being utilized to load the level, resulting in a smooth and uninterrupted user experience. #programming #UIprogramming #unrealengine5 #commonUI #EpicGames #KeySlot #Remappable #LoadingScreen

Gameplay Effects in #UnrealEngine can be configured to have stacking. Each Gameplay Effect has its own stacking behavior.Stacking of Gameplay Effects have 3 options —⤵️[1] Aggregate by Source —Each source, who caused the effect, maintains a stack count i.e. configured for 'Stack Limit Count' value. So, the limit is "per source".[2] Aggregate by Target —Each target, who affected by the effect, maintains a stack count i.e. configured for 'Stack Limit Count' value. So, the limit is "per target".[3] None —No stacking. Multiple applications of same Gameplay Effect will be treated as separate instances.Have you used any of these Gameplay Effect Stacking options...?Also please share this with other GameDevs! :-)#GameDevelopment #GameDev #Programming #UnrealEngine #UE5 #IndieDev

🚀 Unity Tip of the Day 🚀Maximize performance with object pooling! Instead of instantiating and destroying objects repeatedly, create a pool of reusable objects. This reduces memory allocation and garbage collection, resulting in smoother gameplay. #Unity #GameDev #Programming

In my previous post, I showcased how I created the𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 using Unreal Engine for the "Get Goo'd". In this post, I will be demonstrating how I created the 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐔𝐈𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲. This entry is instanced within 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐲𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚, allowing for the creation of multiple instances of 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐔𝐈𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲.The 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐔𝐈𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲supports various functionalities, including getting and setting float values, text options, boolean entries, key bindings, and integer values. For instance, I utilized float values to implement sliders, enabling precise adjustments for settings like volume and brightness.Additionally, I added a field for 𝐔𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲, which enables dynamic changes to the visual representation of the settings entry, allowing it to switch between carousel, toggle, dropdown, and slider options.#programming #UIprogramming #unrealengine5 #commonUI #SettingsListEntry #EpicGames

"Optimize Your Unity Game's Performance with Batching!Did you know that batching can significantly improve your game's performance? Unity offers two types of batching: Static and Dynamic.*Static Batching*- Combine static objects into a single mesh- Reduce draw calls and improve performance- Ideal for non-moving objects like terrain, buildings, and scenery*Dynamic Batching*- Batch small, dynamic objects at runtime- Improve performance for objects with similar materials- Ideal for moving objects like characters, vehicles, and effectsBy using static and dynamic batching, you can:- Reduce draw calls by up to 90%- Improve frame rates and overall performance- Enhance player experienceShare your own batching experiences and tips in the comments below!#Unity #Batching #GameOptimization #Performance #GameDevelopment #Programming #UnityDeveloper #GameProgramming #SoftwareEngineering #Gaming"This post aims to:- Explain the difference between static and dynamic batching- Highlight the benefits of each type of batching- Encourage engagement through a question.
