Hi guys. First of all I’ll tell you that this is a newbie question. Many of you great people can answer this easily. So please kindly help me as I am getting very impatient to dive into gaming industry.
My question is I want to change the actor in the following plugin.
A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki - Announcements - Epic Developer Community Forums To a car model which I got for free from http://tf3dm.com/download-page.php?url=mustang-gt500kr-78896 . How can I do this? Thank you very much in advance.
Regards

Hi there,

many of the great people have already answered “newbie questions” by great tutorials :slight_smile: I would not blame you if you don’t find them, because at first you need to know what you are actually looking for (terminology, workflow, and so on) to find them, and then you need to filter through overloaded and exhausting tutorials which are just more confusing then helpful.

So I want to help you with that: The UE channel covers pretty everything you will need when starting with things. I would highly recommend you to dig through the basics in here. And if you have any questions, they will more likely be answered if you provide screenshot of your problem, but therefore you need something to show :slight_smile:

So here the epic playlist to farm some required expirence with these short and compact videos:

… to be finally ready to have fun (instead of basic questions) with this one:

And then… and only then you will understand what you are actually trying to do in your question :slight_smile: Because you don’t want to have the car model in the SpeechRecognitionActor, but just the Reference of the SpeechRecognitionActor in your Character/Car Blueprint :slight_smile:

Just create your car, let it work, have fun with it. And if you think you are ready for that, you can move on to advanced stuff like speech recognition. Because then you will understand what the Speech-Recognition tutorial actually wants you to do :slight_smile:

Happy driving! Marooney

Thanks for your reply. Yes I admit I only saw 1 or 2 videos on unreal :). Then I just jumped into the action. I will correct my terminology. I think you just gave me huge hint. But I will ask again so that I am satisfied.
Can I change the mannequin to the car model I linked ?

And big thanks for links. Very useful.
Regards.

If your Car is a Transformer then yes :slight_smile: But then it can only jump and run like the Mannequin :slight_smile: But I am sure you want to drive the car. And how you can achieve that is shown in the second Playlist i gave you.

Well i am sure you will jump straight into the car-tutorial now ^^ But if you are going to ask the required basics in here instead of watching them in the UE Playlist: You need to understand that not everyone in here is able to spend time to do others homework :slight_smile: You are more likely to get help for more advanced problems :slight_smile:

I am happy to help :slight_smile:

Please make sure to click the accept answer button on the left side of the initial answer, if you don’t need anything else for now :slight_smile: The answer will turn green and the Question is marked as [RESOLVED] for everyone. Thx :slight_smile:
