Amendments: 9:48 PostEditMove needs to be surrounded by #if WITH_EDITOR and #endif // WITH_EDITOR (put on separate lines); otherwise it will cause a compile error when building shipping.
@@crazyguy7585 Hey, I haven't really used that before. What part is confusing you? It seems like the intent with that tool is to select a blueprint, and have it generate the equivalent C++ header as if it was written in C++. That's pretty handy. It only seems to give you the header file, as far as I can tell, so I guess you will have to write the cpp file. The tool seems to be a good starting point, but still requires some C++ knowledge. Looks like you can control+a to select everything, and control+c to copy the text. So I imagine how you use it is: you make your .h/.cpp files, run header preview tool on your bp you're converting, copy paste the header content into your .h file. And start writing the .cpp. Finally reparent the blueprint to the new c++ parent class (in class settings).
Thank you so much for this! I was having a lot of issues trying to migrate from blueprints to c++! This helped me understand far better how to migrate off blueprints safely without needing 100% rewrites of everything just to use c++

Wish I had this 5 years ago when I first tried UE C++. Still useful, especially as a refresher 😄

Glad it helped!
Cool stuff!
Nice tutorials!
Thanks!
Thx ;)
Too advance for person like me started with BP and its node understanding 🤣😂.
Hey that's okay, you can come back to this once you learn a bit more. It will make a lot more sense if you learn C++ before hand.
Thank you bro
