Hey, sorry quick question, I just updated back to the latest and was gonna build a prod for an AR demo Iā€™m working on and this error next to the file name of the images wasnā€™t there in the 0.31.1 version, should I be concerned about it?

That would just be a problem if you would share your blender file with a teammate

45

this would fix it as well. Newer needle addon versions use relative file paths, the previous versions didnt do that thatā€™s why you now get a warning for the files that you added before

You can just ignore it here tho

Ohh okay

Wonā€™t make a difference while building prod would it?

49

no itā€™s only relevant for the blend file

50

e.g. if a team mate of yours would open your blend file and your images are not packed or relative to the blend file then they wouldnt be found on his machine in this case.

51

Got it, I usually pack images too, seems simple enough in this case

Yes, the button above would also work - and newer addon versions do use blend file relative paths by default too so the warning shouldnt appear then

53

Cool cool

Thereā€™s no UI export from Blender right now

57

Okay, cool then Iā€™ll render them from figma and add as textures in Blender

Heyo, any leads on the controller code?

Hey :wave: you need learn how to iterate the code. I know it is very hard, but i think you still should still be able to get it working with AI.

Make sure you evolve the script slowly.
So first you ask on how to get gamepad, how to ask about joystick or a X button.
Then you ask it to log the values it is supposedly gathering.

Then you add it to needle. And see if it logs something. If it it does :+1: then AWESOME! If it doesnā€™t, you need to go back to the ai and ask, it doesnā€™t work, how do i debug it.
And possibly suggest, is the function even called? Is the gamepad valid?

And then you iterateā€¦ and iterate and you should get there :slight_smile:

Iā€™m happy to help, but i canā€™t make your work for you.

The SidescrollerCharacterā€™s code is a good reference.
This community contribution is a another reference for gamepad usage.

If you get stuck, let us know what is the issue, what error you have and weā€™ll try to respond :slight_smile:
