It's nice to get the explanation what is what and even something is skipped for now I still feel ok with that (typically it makes me curious or brings wholes in my understanding so I go to waste time with Google uncle xd) I also like that you're answering questions that comes up during the process, like "ok doors are opening, but how to make it smooth?", so I'm sure you are well prepared and steps have their own orderliness.

    Thanx for this video.
    Question: This Blueprint are only a diferent "layer" of the real code right? A diferent view form.
    Is it possible to make something with bkueprits and than sho the real text code and make chance, flip for and bck with real code and blueprint workflow?
    So what i whant is something like in Excel - i want recording something (this is the blueprint part) and after i want go in the code and make chance thinks direct.
    So i dont want to write handwrite code, this should be make the enginetool BUT i want be able to chance the text code by hand. Is this possible? (I want both Blueprint + the real code behind)
    Thx for the answer.

    The thing I’m struggling with is how to make blueprints transfer data. As in, I tried to make a power source like a sort off generator which has a power var. And in my game I wanna be able to connect objects on it which drain power. But yeah, can’t seem to make an empty array which the player can connect objects to. And even with preset objects I can’t seem to make it work as I can only get the power car, but I can’t transfer back a new calculation after draining power from it. :( Really want to figure this thing out as I feel it will unlock so much knownledge on how to make dynamic blueprints.

    • @MrDmadness
      @MrDmadness Год назад +2

      Remember that blueprints like code in object orientated programming are exclusive to their counterpart. That is.
      BP_car and it's related variables are exclusive to the object they are attached too. In this case I'd assume Sm_car. That is the static object of car hold it's own info.
      So if
      Generator has variable called power ( a float )
      And you have 2 other objects you want to draw power
      Like TV and microwave
      Then you must have hot box detection of those other objects ( or a reference too them )
      And the pseudo code would be like this
      " if the TV is overlaping the generator and I hit E then the generator should lose 50 power and the TV should gain 50 power"
      BOTH blueprints need a reference. Often these issues happen because people don't realize that until an object is created in game it's accompanying code does not exist yet.. also code made under Generator, is unseen by any other object code unless it's made public.
      In short, likely your issue is that you are not thinking of the structure properly. There are many ways for blueprints to communicate to solve any given problem, the 9nly qualification for the BEST way is to check its process ti e and find a faster way that achieves the same outcome.
      Your array you're making is a local variable.
      Using instance references instead of casting too for example .

    when you references a node as "code", it's confusing cause i know of code as something else. and I'm sure everyone else can agree.
    when i say I'm going to wright some code, they think letters and numbers. NOT blueprints.
    id say call a blueprint node a node, not "code". and also, you say "scripting" when you are just connecting nodes, that is also confusing.
    when you say to someone I'm going to wright a "script", the first thing they are going to imagine would be code but if you're like most of everyone that has seen a script, they would imagen a notepad with a command line on it.
    so i ask nicely to you to stop using the terms like "code" & "scripting". and use the correct reference for blueprints which have already been named by the developers of unreal engine.
    a blueprint node is called a node when you connect 2 nodes its not "scripting" its called linking using executable lines. AKA "Pin to Pin connection" AKA "Output/input"
    before anyone feels the need to comment and argue with me on this. ill advise you to google it. i sure have.
    and I'm not saying this to be mean. the content is still good. i just hate lazy naming.
    example of lazy naming would be like, calling a cheater a hacker.
    a cheater has downloaded a file to get ESP in a game. cringe.
    a hacker is someone that uses python to get a WIFI handshake to latter on brute force attack to get its password. ect.. ect..
    Brake the narrative of calling cheaters, hackers. which is not related to this video FYI was just a example
    & don't start a narrative of calling nodes "code" and executable lines "scripting"
    before i go i can already tell what sort of comments ill get in reply, seen it happen all the time so ill say it now.
    a opinion is meant to help people to improve, to get upset at a opinion when you have showcase content to be viewed and criticized.
    doing so would hurt your imagine and negated all merit so don't do it.
    to argue at someone's opinion and justify your reply to someone's opinion as also a opinion is childish, so don't do it. if anyone must reply and argue bring some nuances or you'll just look like a year 9 school drop out.
