Are you doing unnecessary work when calling Delegates in #UnrealEngine?

I wrote an article about this small topic since I was dealing with it recently (it's free to read!) Includes examples and fancy Macros.

I updated the 1-Up sprite to increase visibility in game. The face now shines with the shimmer. #pixelart #gamedev #megaman

You can mark Macro nodes as *Development Only* but they STILL GET CALLED IN SHIPPING?!

@JerielBonilla wanted Symphony Of The Night. Well, there ya go! 😁 #Castlevania #WiseDrums

If Time is paused for any Actor that uses my #UnrealEngine5 Time Control system, all of their SFX also automatically pause.

I can put Actors into Time Groups. In this example the Parent Time Source for "Gameplay" is paused, so 'everything' pauses.

Added the "Charge Attack". Just hold the Attack button for a bit and release. Kinda works like Megaman's charged buster. Different weapons have different charge attacks. I enjoyed making the particles and shader effects! #screenshotsaturday

It's been a lot of work to make Unreal Engine 5 do various "2D Retro Effects" but there's progress made.

This one is actually manipulating a Paper Tilemap layer in real time, not a solid texture.

The wavy background effect can do both directions, even at the same time. (FPS is low because it's playing in Editor.)

The item animations stay in sync always, no matter where, when, or how many spawn.

(60fps version in replies.)
