What I Learnt

• How to design and implement level design using three views in a modular layout, combined with wireframe and unlit scene modes.
  • 
• Light Types and the Lumen GI system in Unreal
  • Light Types:
    • Directional Light: Only rotation has effects; it alters the direction of the sunlight.
    • Point Light: Allows customization of the light’s intensity, color, and attenuation radius.
    • Rect Light: A rect light possesses an area.
    • Sky Light: Delivers a soft ambient environment color.
      • Not the same as a skybox, but related.
      • Also associated with the directional light and its direction.
    • Future: How can I implement some features in my own project Sparrow-Renderer ?
  • Lumen GI System:
    • Nanite is incompatible with Pixel Depth Offset; they must be unlinked in the material graph (shader).
    • Post Process Volume is crucial for post-processing, including exposure and toning.
    • A Light Bleeding issue occurs; the solution in this project is to use other meshes to cover the boundaries of the level.
• Collision Filtering:
  • Types of Collision Filtering:
    • Block: Physically blocks the component and triggers a hit event.
    • Overlap: Doesn’t block the component but allows overlaps. It will trigger overlap events. “Generate overlap” pertains to the generation of overlap events as the object continues through the collision process.
    • Ignore: The component will overlap, but it won’t undergo collision processing, hence no events will arise.
  • Trigger Implementation:
    • Detects Collision through overlap and actor tag comparison.
• Grab Items Gameplay Implementation:
  • Grabbing is based on Raycasting and Collision, implemented with UPhysicsHandleComponent, GetGrabbedComponent, and GrabComponentAtLocationWithRotation.
  • Calls event interaction in blueprints.
  • Simulates Physics to achieve enhanced visual effects.

Questions:

Q: Why the player born in the position of navigation of camera in the level?

A: It’s a setting

My thinking:

• camera position is better for debugging,
• but in the distribution, better to use a playstart
