One of my favourite shortcuts is Shift+Delete in blueprints, it'll delete any node on the execution line and connect the remaining nodes automatically.

[@LeafBranchGames]

This is an amazing tip, and one I did not know about. Thank you!

[@Alexlinnk]

The alt / control for getter and setter is fire 🔥

[@LeafBranchGames]

It is pretty useful, for sure!

[@Helgrind44]

Cool I didn't know about that Ctrl B / Ctrl E thing. Pretty useful

[@LeafBranchGames]

Glad to hear you found out something new!

[@renefischer9836]

Hotkeys are such a blessing. Thanks for sharing!

[@LeafBranchGames]

Thank you. Glad you like it!

[@NANI_47]

Still one of the best series on this entire platform

[@LeafBranchGames]

Thank you. :)

Q. As powerful as the entity from Star trek I would say

[@LeafBranchGames]

Haha :)

[@tldmbruno]

All "must have" shortcuts!

[@LeafBranchGames]

They are indeed useful!

[@kalleskit]

Big thanks for this!

[@LeafBranchGames]

My pleasure!

[@drumandbassob0007]

[@LeafBranchGames]

Happy to hear it!

[@PatrickTheDM]

[@LeafBranchGames]

Thank you!

I wish i could find a wall poster with all of the unreal engine shortcuts. There is a cool keyboard that has a bunch of them color coded and labeled, but im too stubborn to switch keyboards. I like the one i have

[@LeafBranchGames]

That would be handy!

[@gatOlegat]

Great video, but I would really love to see a system series, you haven’t released one in a long time. It would be great to see any kind of system, combat, inventory or animation, just want to see and learn how to produce an efficient and reusable code system. Thanks!

[@LeafBranchGames]

You are in luck. One is on the way.

[@gatOlegat]

looking forward to it!@@LeafBranchGames

[@Latvian3Dman]

Also you can cycle Move / Rotate / Scale by pressing Spacebar.

[@LeafBranchGames]

That is true, I forgot about that one. Wish I would have rememberd to include that one!

[@takyonstudio]

Thanks 👏👏👏

[@LeafBranchGames]

My pleasure. :)

[@mikelkram]

waiting for a video on how to animate and make a helicopter controllable)

[@LeafBranchGames]

Already have a tutorial on how to animate. How to control one will come in the future.

[@haalangcovers]

I always watch when you post a new video. Always good quality advice for best practice.
Could I however ask you to automatically hide the windows taskbar when doing these videos? I don't know about other people, but for me at least it's a bit distracting - it feels like visual noise :).

[@LeafBranchGames]

I can try, but I can not promise anything. Without going into more detail, doing so does cause me some issues when recording/preparing videos which makes it take me more time.

[@Wauzy]

@@LeafBranchGames Perhaps it would be enough to make the search field more unobtrusive, then the conspicuous wise place would be gone. That's what made me notice it in the first place.
Right-click on the search field -> search -> show search symbol
To restore the old state: Right-click on the magnifying glass -> Search -> Show search field

[@hashimshah7732]

can you please make a video on how to make camera ignore character mesh so that it wont clipped through the character when character is getting too close to the camera

[@LeafBranchGames]

I can put it on my to do list.

[@user-ph4mn7fl8h]

I like the intro song when your video beginning. Can I know the title?

[@user-ph4mn7fl8h]

and thank you for great information, I'm a big fan of you.

[@LeafBranchGames]

Thank you!
