This is an introduction to Blueprints with Unreal Engine 5 for absolute beginners. We are using the full release version of UE5 which was released in 2022.
If you're new to this topic you might ask 'What are blueprints?'
They are the visual scripting tool of unreal engine, allowing you to create game mechanics and many other things without a need to write c++ code.
In this video I will cover the cornerstones of blueprint such as Variables, Functions, Begin Play, Tick and many more topics to allow you to get started with unreal engine and create your own games.

i was at the 8 minutes mark then i got engrossed in the potential masterpiece i could make and started dancing and bobbinb my head

[@nikolsparrow5163]

I love the fact that you took your time to explain everything into details

[@knowsomething9384]

Best beginner run-through I have seen yet. Everyone else starts with a bunch of existing blueprints instead of building up from scratch. Much appreciated!

[@redpyre]

This is not only the first tutorial I found that actually got me up and running with UE in a way I understand, but it may very well be the best game dev tutorial I've ever seen

[@CobraCode]

Thank you so much :D

[@hexicore789]

Thanks to you, I've started.
Wasn't even boring man, good job!

[@broganleahey2421]

Bless you for editing in arrows and otherwise clearly indicating what you're doing--it made following along so much easier!

[@CobraCode]

Awesome!
Thank you for the feedback.
Nobody has mentioned it so far, so I wasn't quite sure if it was helpful or not.

[@violentpixelation5486]

💯👍 Yes. This is super helpful

[@TobyJns]

Awesome tutorial! In 51 minutes you've gone through a lot of helpful information, with just the right level of detail for every topic.
I consider this tutorial from a beginner's perspective 10/10. Keep up the excellent work! :D Peace!

[@CobraCode]

Thank you so much :D
I was actually struggling a lot trying to find the right balance between making a short video or making a detailed video. I'm glad it seems like I was able to hit a good balance after all.

[@ittakir]

Thank you very much for this tutorial! It was very clear, the speed of speech was what was needed, and you didn't use some other models/materials that we have to import. I've already tried about 5 tutorials and this one is THE BEST!

[@CobraCode]

Thank you so much :D

[@mehmedmaloparic]

This is a very quick and clean presentation of what Unreal can do. I am a Unity refuge so this is blowing my mind as zero coding is involved yet I recognize every single element involved in making a game

[@CobraCode]

Welcome aboard!

[@madduckling4436]

@@CobraCode i kindly ask you to answer my question its important I have only 8GB of Ram is thats enough for me to use unreal engine for basic projects (before working on my dream project that I was working on in unity) ?

[@CobraCode]

Hey 8GB should be fine for very basic things, but you're probably gonna hit a ceiling when you wanna use more advanced features.

This was amazing. Thank you so much.

This is the most I've learned about blueprints in one video in such a short amount of time. I have never seen it explained so clearly to where there was zero question in my mind how it all worked. Great job and subbed

[@joshuahorton7936]

great tutorial video! The random ball spawner almost always spawn my ball at the center even the print was very slight x and y variation almost identical for some reason. My blueprint looks identical to the one at 33:55 to my eyes.

[@jumpindunkinaj30]

I finally figured this out bc I had the same issue. I was adjusting the box in the "transform" part, but it has to be done under "Box Extent" which is under "Shape." Maybe that will help you.

[@artemklenkov8392]

Thank you so much!@@jumpindunkinaj30

[@rikp]

Great tutorial. To make the platform go up and down I added a third keyframe to return to 0 then clicked the loop button. I didn't have to add anything beyond that.

[@Dobbicus89]

Took a few days because adulting is hard, but I just finished this tutorial. Thanks for the upload. I'm thrilled something like blueprint exists as I have never coded or programmed anything before.

Thx bro, great work. crack working correctly

[@SaltedMallows]

Ah I wish you did videos on visual coding in unity. You teach well

[@CobraCode]

Thank you so much!
I haven't touched Unity in about 4 years, but I'm starting a teaching position at a school soon, so I might have to pick it up again to support students that are using that instead of UE.
If I ever was to make Unity tutorials I would probably create a second channel for that!
But even then it would probably be a few years off.
Still have so many things I wanna do in Unreal Engine first!

[@SaltedMallows]

@@CobraCode I see. Could you make a video that elaborates on your channel trailer targeting beginners who want overall perspective for outlining everything overall you might want to focus on etc
