Racks Builder Toolkit

Contains tools/generators that help in building context-based levels with ease.

End Result

How to use

  • Place the BP_Cluster_Racks actor into the level

Drop actor

  • Set suitable values for parameters under Cluster, Rack, and Palette. The breakdown of each section will be explained below.

All settings

  • After setting/modifying the parameter click on Generate Rack Cluster. It's the call-in editor function that will use the above config and generate racks and palettes with boxes.

Settings Breakdown

Cluster Config

Cluster Config

  • Box Extents: Defines the spread and distribution of racks to be spawned.
  • Spaceing X & Spaceing Y: controls the spacing BETWEEN the spawned racks
  • Padding X & Padding Y: controls the padding between BoxExtentand Racks

The result with the above settings are as shown in the image below

  • The red line represents Box Extents and the blue line represents Padded Box Extents.

Control buttons

Rack Config

Rack Config

  • Columns: controls how many columns each rack should have.
  • ShelfHeight:controls the vertical spacing BETWEEN trays of each rack. Frames supporting the Trays will automatically adjust based on the selected ShelfHeight.
  • Frame_Bottom, Frame_Mid, Frame_Top, Tray_Bottom, Tray_Mid & Tray_Top: are the meshes to be assigned for the rack to be generated.
    NOTE: The pivots of the meshes should be same as the pivots mesh in the example.

Palette Config

Palette Config

  • Seed: ControlsRandomStreamof palette rotations, box types, rotation, and spacing.
  • Palette Mesh:Sets Palette mesh. The pivot has to be the same as the mesh provided in the example.
  • Boxes: Array of boxes that will spawn on the palette that are picked randomly.
  • MinPadding & MaxPadding: Controls the random padding between boxes. Selected padding will be the same per palette actor.
  • TraceLocationOffsetX: This is mainly to adjust trace offset for different rack meshes. This allows to configure the starting point of the placement.
  • MinPaletteOffset & MaxPaletteOffset:Controls random location offsets per palette actor.
  • MinPaletteRotation & MaxPaletteRotation:Controls random location offsets per palette actor.
  • MinFillPercentage & MaxFillPercentage: Controls the random fill percentage of palette actors per shelf.

Outliner

  • The below image is the hierarchy that will be generated.
  • Each Palette will be spawned as an actor with attached Static Mesh Actors of palette and boxes
  • Each Rack will spawn as an actor. Frames and Trays will be Static Mesh Components inside it.
