Unreal Engine 4 - Blueprints (Moving Doors) Tutorial

[@ThePanchEffect]

this series is helping me to finally finish a few old practice levels and turning them into small experiences or proof concepts. hope to start prototiping like a pro in a couple of months, thxs so much ;3

[@YourPeepingTom]

if you want the door to close after you leave the collision area, just take an "on component End Overlap" for the collision box and plug it into the reverse of the door animation

[@fuzzypanda1684]

Hey man, I just found your channel through this video but I can already tell you're going to be very helpful and a great resource. I always like to stop and thank people like you for teaching people like me who would never be able to figure this stuff out on my own lol.

[@jaffnimanlangit5510]

thanks for this tutorial and upcoming more Bless you mate hope u have a wonderfull day / night

[@Throneofliesgame]

Thanks! Some feedback, I'd turn down the music a bit in the background for future ones~

[@Beardgames]

Okay man thanks. People keep saying turn it down and I keep turning it down but it looks like I need to turn it down even more haha. Thank you =)

[@nokeomiga]

@@Beardgames Well, I also support what the partner says... maybe the quieter music... or a quieter style... or just listening to your sweet voice. Thank you very much for your tutorials. They are very well prepared and structured. Thanks for sharing them. Greetings from Spain.

[@Beardgames]

@@nokeomiga Welcome from England :D I've lowered the music for my next video, let me know if its any better!

[@matteocatrini3985]

Loving the energy

[@ShaneTrace]

thanks so much bro, this was fried gold

[@matteocatrini3985]

great video

[@paddyforlenza6315]

Yes been waiting for this one

[@Beardgames]

If tomorrow goes well I'll have some even cooler blueprints for you tomorrow :D

[@dramoth64]

Just to be a bit different, in the split door blueprints, I included the door frame static mesh. This let me size the doors into the scene much better :)

[@DavidGWilliams1981]

Great tutorial, thanks.

[@davidguerra1699]

We're on episode 6 todayyy! *Hits mic*

[@binyaminbass]

What if I don't remember the order in which I made the instances of my BP? How do I identify which Level a particular blueprint instance is in?

[@jakebilling9706]

Let's go Champ!!

Loving your tutorials

Thanks so much Dook :)

Awesome Work! Keep it up!:)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@Mayor_Imad]

Hey the intro sfx reminds me of (Netstorm) old pc video game : )

[@AmericanVoice1978]

Great video! I was able to get mine workiing perfectly after playing around a little, but does anyone know why textures are blown out on the chamfer and the 1M cubes or any other static mesh option for the blue prints. They look great on regular cubes and geometry cubes but horrible on the blueprint options in the viewport.

[@Jell0ton]

I was wondering, how much do you know of Unreal coding in C++ vs blueprints? I've done a bit on blueprints but not a whole lot in C++

[@Beardgames]

I'll be honest I'm pretty much a beginner in c++, I only started learning it as I thought it was required to make my game multiplayer through steam. The reason I fell in love with ue4 was because you didn't need to code and could do everything through blueprints haha. Don't stress if you don't know c++ it's not required unless youre going for some advanced specific networking things

[@3DAntonio47]

Hey, thanks for this! Super helpful indeed! If we wanted to expand on this, and say, and a dust type particle system to the door animation, how would we go about doing that? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us dude!!

[@Beardgames]

Glad you're liking the content Anto :) so you're best off just playing around with things and it depends what kind of thing you're going for. Probably spawn some particles spread out with a random velocity really small, then for another column spawn larger ones for some kind of cloud dust. Maybe I'll whip up some kind of tutorial on this at some point :) thanks for supporting the channel amigo!

[@3DAntonio47]

@@Beardgames Can I ask, would this be something that we would add to the 'door opening timeline' or would the it be a trigger that's needed to play the particle effect animation while the door is opening? I guess there are multiple ways of obtaining this effect. If you could do a tutorial about this, that would be mighty fine of you. There doesn't seem to be any out there on YT but I'm having do much fun learning! Haha. Thanks again my friend!

[@Beardgames]

@@3DAntonio47 yeah so you'd add it somewhere along that line when you want the dust to spawn, possibly as soon as the timeline starts :) just use a spawn emitter at location or add the particle system to the blueprint and call the activate now from it!

i am in this lesson urgent lesson now i hope i complete all to the end !!

[@binyaminbass]

In the double door blueprint, when I parent the door static mesh to the scene component, the scale of the door changes drastically. For that matter, any time I adjust the hierarchy, all kinds of scaling issues happen. Why is that?

[@YourPeepingTom]

any help would be appreciated I dont know wtf, i'm trying to edit the collision box for a wall I have and the size just WONT STOP SNAPPING

[@ForbiddenKemonoStudio]

Where you get the torch mesh from? Can I have link, it's for my class project.

[@Beardgames]

I made it myself, the download is on episode 5 I think :)

[@wildgobbos8468]

great tutorial but music was a bit too loud at some point :p

[@dev_mauricio_unreal]

very good!!!

[@Beardgames]

Thank you my friend!

[@Ryan-si9qi]

So I completed so far but i wanted to check you project I downloaded it but now how to do you import the project into unreal

[@Beardgames]

You can't import a project into another project my friend. All you can do is open the new project, you can however migrate certain assets. Hope this helps

[@Ryan-si9qi]

No I dont want to import any thing I just want open that project

[@Ryan-si9qi]

But I dont know how

[@hernanponce6062]

I Would have liked to know how the first door could be closed, but great tutorial!

[@yoshi228]

You could use the "On Component End Overlap" and the logic would be almost the same...

[@princejames5266]

man you should have taught how to close the door

[@Beardgames]

To close the door you just do the opposite of what we did to open it my friend, put in the doors original location as the end location, and put in the doors open location as the start location. Let me know how you get on :)

[@princejames5266]

@@Beardgames I tried that already and ended up creating a loop of opening and closing

[@princejames5266]

@@Beardgames i figured it out man,thanks for your concern anyway

[@Beardgames]

@@princejames5266 great job dude :)

[@TrigenStuff]

music when u are talking about beginplay begin overlap and tick is bit overkill its distracting... in my opinion like I can hear u but i still focus too much on that music

[@TrigenStuff]

I mean its not that bad... :D but it could be still bit less loud still great tutorial and Thank u

[@Beardgames]

@@TrigenStuff I'll turn it down for next :D I didn't check all the audio when editing because the video is so long!

[@mx-gamesdev8287]

Good tutorial But i will be honest the music is distracting and too loud... Look at is this way when you was at school did your teacher play music while teaching you No is the answer...
