In these regular updates we will bring fresh content to Hive in the form of our game coding experiences; IBT is a developing PC game - the one to have future Crypto interactions.
New Text & HUD interface
With the newer version of the editor comes a much better interface and selection of Blueprint Widgets ( Widgets are a lazy way of adding code to the editor.)
There were a number of bugs in our previous release which involved sounds not turning off, text stuck on the screen and a lack of help files not to mention some tutorial text that would not go away after reloading the game. We have given all this a major overhaul and have finally developed a better system than before. It's allot smoother and yeah..not many nasty bugs.
Updated trigger system
While we are on the topic of text not turning on and off correctly, we traced it to being a collision problem. It was supposed to be as simple as you hitting a hidden collision box turning text on and then off again when you walked away. The problem with this is that sometimes the character would activate it twice during collision and then only turn it off once when the collision stopped. To stop this we added a "Do once" widget so it can only activate once and gets reset when you leave the hidden collision box; So there is no chance of it being set off twice or more anymore...seems a bit to follow, but trust me its better things just do now that it does what it's suppose to do, so feeling good on this win.
Well, that's it for this week, another week gone another few steps closer to completing our mission.
