Protip: I am so mad.
I'm going to have to scrap my original idea for item collection because, despite the best efforts and assistance from the good folks over on the Discord, I'm too much of a 3D development newb to understand how to do it my planned way. So I'm going to try having it so that you just walk over the logs to collect them and automatically play a voice clip. Not as cool, but at this point I just have to do what I can.
So that was about an hour and a half of struggling. Decided to switch gears to UI stuff, and Unreal would crash even more than normal. I'd type in something, crash. I'd be seconds away from pressing the save button, crash. Constant. Crashing. For no good reason.
I was so frustrated and feeling so stupid by the end of it all that I wanted to cry. And yet, I was also not wanting to give up. I wanted to keep going and get something made. I knew I'd probably get this frustrated since I'm not good at 3D dev yet, so I did know how to manage it (actually putting my knowledge into practice was a little tougher, but I pulled it off). The best projects are made with tears staining the keyboard.
*EDIT* I've been working on it some more, the UI countdown refuses to work, at least the logs disappear when I walk over them, surely it will not be difficult to trigger a voice line to play upon doing so right? Holy crap, I'm just so frustrated. Didn't help that my family started kind of poking fun at me. "Wow, you're doing this for fun, but you're frustrated?" At least I'm actually doing something. I give the hell up for tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will magically become smarter.
*EDIT AGAIN* Please don't take this as gratefulness or bitchiness (okay, maybe the latter a little bit). Again, I'm so grateful for all the attempts to help me. And I really am having fun with this jam and with making this game, and I want to keep working with Unreal engine. But if I have learned anything about me and developing games that aren't visual novels, its that I get very passionate about it. It's normal for me. Probably not healthy, but normal. What I'm trying to say is don't worry about me.
