This is an Unreal Engine tutorial project showing how to start working with Blueprints and C++ in a lightweight fashion. The goal is for you to understand absolutely everything in this demo, so no complex components, advanced features, or extra assets are used, only the bare minimum.
This is a tutorial code aiming to show you how to work with the following:
- Creating a basic level (without open world)
- Disabling Nanite and Lumen
- Importing assets
- Working with Visual Studio
- Blueprints basic programming
- C++ basic programming
- Blueprint Actor inheriting from C++
- StaticMeshComponent
- Rotation Animation
- Defining default assets from C++
- GameMode configuration.
- Using the EnhancedInputSubsystem from Blueprints
- CameraActor following the player Pawn
- Pawn continuous movement on cardinal directions, defined via an ENUM
- Checking collisiong withoug colliders
- Playing 2D sounds
- Spawning actors from Blueprints
- Using AddOnScreenDebugMessage
- Using UE_LOG on a custom log channel
- Basic performance metrics (video version only)
- Packaging a game (video version only)
- Setting up a git repository for an Unreal Engine project
- Using Git-LFS (video version only)
Much of the content is only explained in the related video, check out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arStJGFIKKg . It is presented in spanish, but you can use subtitles.
To make this repository publicly available on Github, it is not possible to use Git-LFS. Consider renaming .gitattributes_off to .gitattributes and properly setup Git-LFS as explained at https://git-lfs.com/. You may be required to remove and re-add files with the extension .uasset and .umap.
The assets used in this demo were handpicked from the following free gorgeous asset packs. My sincere thanks to the original authors!.
