How to filter items from BP_Config_Property_Class?
Hey all!
Using the ModConfiguration class, I created the Section Properties using the
BP Config Property Class, it's limiting by the Base Class FGEquipmentDescriptor.
The issue is that I couldn't find any way to filter out even more items from that list....Solution:
For future references, basically how to achieve this:
Create your own Widget Class extending
Widget_CP_Base (you can copy the whole Widget_CP_Class)
- Here you will edit how the widget get the data and display it in the dropdown box (In my case I prepared the data in my game instance so I could re-use to validate the user input).

How do I get the building descriptor of a building that's not unlocked yet?
First, I used a Recipe Manager to get all recipes. I grouped them by "Get Produced In" which gives me a set of ~8 buildables (FGBuildable Class Reference). I then used the Recipe Manager's "Find Building Descriptor by Class", but it only returns Building Descriptors (FGBuildingDescriptor Class Reference) for constructor and assembler because those are the only buildings I can actually build in the game (things like the Manufacturer are not unlocked yet).
However, in my mod I would like to show icons of all available machines even if they're not unlocked yet. Do you have any idea how to achieve that?...
Solution:
Use
FindNativeClassesByType of class FGRecipe, it returns all recipes, unlocked or not. Note that there are still a few broken recipes in game (and possibly included with some mods), so you'll want to do IsValid checks on all recipes and descriptors before calling functions on them because they might be null or have have null data in them.
Trying to export 3D models from Unreal to Blender
I want to import the mesh, material, and textures from a 1m foundation ficsit set (or any other foundation and buildable) to modify it for a new foundation I'm making. I've tried to export as FBX but it showed me some other weird shapes and I was unable to apply the material and textures to it. I've looked at some basic blender tutorials but I can't figure this thing out
Can't adjust Truck Camera relative location
I'm currently working on adding trucks to my first person vehicle mods, but I've encountered a bit of an issue.
With all other vehicles the camera is directly at the end of the camera (image 1)
On the truck it's attached slightly above the spring arm (image 2)
I've been moving the spring arm with the function shown in image 3, which works perfectly fine.
However, using the same code to adjust the camera position (image 4) does not work, and I don't really understand why....
Solution:
The truck spring arm has a socket offset, which none of the other vehicles have.
The camera movement was being applied, there's just an additional offset on the springarm...
