Why does this engine need 3 different places to toggle looping, and only 1 actually works properly, the other 2 introduce a audible POP when it loops....

Had an idea on a cleaning/power wash system that was surprisingly simple and works quite well for how quick it was to make.

Yea saw this plugin.
What im doing with the road generation isnt the same as its needing actual geometry between the roads for the games cleaning system to function in those areas

do you mean with a post/process shader effect?

The dreaded road generation I kept putting off...
A lot of boring math later...
Solved the intersections with a generated polygon between the 2 roads, look at those clean lines.

Been building a tool for Sweep City for true spline meshes that can repeat and deform the mesh in the spline while resulting in only 1 draw call, not hundreds of components+draws like the standard method.
Super useful in level design!

Trying out some lite cel shading for Sweep City, how do you think it fits the theme and mood?

Lol classic epic, WONT FIX.
had a look at the source and it seems GetTangentAtDistanceAlongSpline evaluates the tangent at the input key where as GetTangentAtSplinePoint just assumes and gives you the stored leave tangent which isnt the actual direction

PSA: Beware Unreals Spline system, it doesn't covert tangents to the requested coordinate space, if your using their tangents and not getting a expect result you have to convert them yourself
