Beginners Intro to UE5 - Create a Game in 3 Hours in Unreal Engine 5

[@mytechnotalent]

This is by far the single most comprehensive C++ UE tutorial in existence. PLEASE keep making detailed C++ UE5 tutorials at the level you have done here as there are simply fragments of C++ UE out there as most are focused on BP.

[@itzpacketloss]

Agreed. Please continue this approach, we need this content.

[@DavidBoura]

@@itzpacketloss i wish UE was as much coding oriented as Unity, for wich learning is even fun.

[@mikedayao]

Hey

[@totheknee]

I have to say, walking through your thinking as to why you choose certain functions, or why you choose certain classes, is invaluable. It really sets your videos apart from other follow-me-blindly tutorials that end up going in one ear and out the other, so to speak. I care about _why,_ and you understand how important this is. Cheers.

[@flassari]

Unreal Engine Evangelist here. The reason there were issues with the event bindings is because they were set up in the class constructors. You should never ever do that, class constructors are only for setting up components and default values, while everything else like bindings should happen on runtime. Adding bindings in the constructor can lead to weird things like dynamic delegates getting serialized into the blueprint asset itself, which explains why it's so hard to fix it (reparenting, etc). What you want to do instead is to do those bindings in BeginPlay, then they are runtime only and easily changed/fixed.

[@jessedv5915]

He mentioned only using C++ is elitist lol

[@hassanshahid8136]

Thanks for this 👍 Read this before getting to the binding part so I put it in BeginPlay from the get-go and had no issues.

[@blacktainfalcon7097]

Just started this video and have no idea what any of that means

[@fletcherpoole1744]

@@blacktainfalcon7097 you'll see around halfway through

[@gartrh]

Can confirm after changing the place of binding to BeginPlay, everything worked after reloading the engine - without reparenting.

[@joshxwho]

This is great. I'm not a beginner programmer, but haven't used C++ much. This is a fantastic introduction for those who might have programming experience but not c++/unreal experience. Thanks for sharing what to search for to get more information.

[@DevEnabled]

Awesome, exactly what I had in mind. There are hundreds of channels and resources out there if you just wanted to learn pure c++ and get the groundwork covered.

[@Connorses]

Unfortunately the troubleshooting tips are necessary. It felt like the amount of stumbling blocks for a new Unreal user were far more numerous than if I were writing C# for Unity. Can't believe how much effort it took to troubleshoot the collision event silently failing. And then you have to rebuild the blueprint class after "resetting" it.

[@RogerBaconGaming]

Thank you for putting your IDE in to presentation mode. Many people do not do this, and it makes coding videos even more tedious to follow along than they already are.

[@DevEnabled]

happy it helps. It's a great feature.

[@elemenohpi8510]

I find it amazing that you are so honest about the information you're giving. For example, you specify it when you know the reason behind an error and when you don't, you talk about the situation in a way that enables the viewer to go and find the reason themselves.

[@xionsflame1]

I just want to say thank you for putting this together. Great Course.

[@DevEnabled]

Thank you and great to hear.

[@Shamysoza92]

You are amazing. Thanks for always stating that C++ is not always the best solution and that the engine can provide tools that definitely work in tandem with it. Love your content!

[@DevEnabled]

You're welcome and apparently, it still needs repeating. Both are great in their own ways and a good balance just makes life much easier.

[@auchucknorris]

only watch the intro, instant like, nothing worse than being a solid programmer being babied through variables, give people who need time to go off on their own who need it on important topics, sounds like a perfectly balanced tutorial.

[@DevEnabled]

Haha, awesome to hear such a small snippet was a selling point. Hope it proves useful.

[@PolyStylized]

I haven't even started the video but by looking at the chapters YOU'RE A LEGEND! Thank you so much!!

[@vojtastruhar8950]

Seeing both sides of the coin with C++ and Blueprints is extremely helpful. Thanks!

[@TehCannonMan]

UE is by far the most temperamental software I have ever used. How anyone can create anything in this engine is a mystery to me. I will never bad mouth a game made in Unreal ever again.

[@DevEnabled]

Haha, something bad happen?

[@TehCannonMan]

@@DevEnabled Took me 2 days but I finished the tutorial! I forgot to create a mesh component before setting it as the root component. This apparently causes UE to crash and crash every time you attempt to load the project. My fault. But what drove me to the point of insanity is my IDE didn't like the curly braces I had typed. Threw a vague error and would not compile. I deleted them and put them back in the same place and it compiled fine. Great tutorial though, I appreciate you going through the nuances of the engine and what kind of errors to expect. Debugging is such an underrated topic, usually tutorials are edited so that everything goes right.

[@blacktainfalcon7097]

@@TehCannonMan you're one of the lucky ones. Unreal straight up wouldn't build anything at all. First it complained that I didn't download .net. Okay fine, I download the exact version it tells me to. Then, it tells me that the version I downloaded was apparently too old. Okay, I then download the newest version. Then it tells me that the version I downloaded was not the older version, but I had previously downloaded the older version and never deleted it. So I just give up and download VSCode instead and save it to my external drive (where I had Unreal installed). Problem gone apparently. The error message had nothing to do with me installing VS on the right driver, so it was like Epic purposefully misled me into trying the wrong thing. That's just the beginning of the problems. Next, I attempt to create a C++ file. A single measly C++ file. I listened to the bugs that you mentioned about Unreal not understanding directories correctly, so I just said screw it, this is my first project anyways. Everything can just be in the same folder. Unreal didn't like that idea. As soon as I open the C++ file, about 10 error messages pop up. I never even changed anything. The code also doesn't impact the actual game. The demo still functions exactly the same. On top of this, the C++ class isn't even showing up in the Unreal assets folder anyways. People often say that Unreal is harder than Unity because it is written in C++ and not C#. Maybe that is true, but I will say this. Nobody has any right to complain about Unity ever again. I used Unity for a year, and I got like 1 bug with the engine tops. And the bug itself was about Unity's terrain plugin, not even anything in the actual base engine. The solution to the bug is just to restart the application. That's all. And even with the bug, everything still worked fine, Unity never crashed on me. I have been using Unreal for 2 days and have encountered about 10 bugs, 7 of which crash Unreal completely, 3 of them happen before you even create a project, and all of them giving no clear solution. I tried to follow your tutorial verbatim, but it's just not working for me. It's not your fault. Unreal should focus less on trying to make the most photo-realistic ass pimple graphics that you'll never gonna see on any modern TV, and focus on making an interface that people can actually use. Opening a C++ file should just be this: Wanna open a C++ file? C++ file opening... Then it pops up in the asset menu. This is simple stuff, I mean who designed this? It's almost like they don't want people using their application. It's amazing that I encountered all of these game-breaking issues and I am STILL yet to write a single line of code.

[@timurradman3999]

Bruh, I'm still struggling with writing the first class@@TehCannonMan There are tons of errors, and the community isn't helpful at all. The overall structure is very messy compared to what I'm used to (Unity)

Bravo, very well done tutorial. I found it very educational and was able to complete this using Unreal 5.2. Quite impressive this is relevant 2 years later and speaks to the quality of your content. 10/10

[@TheWolverine1984]

This is a very professional tutorial that's easy to follow and understand. It's very helpful that he goes a little further than what's needed for the project. Like explaining some common issues you might face when following along and explaining some extra concepts in C++. Like runtime vs compile-time 'const'. I also appreciate that he pasts already pre-written lines of code and then just explains what they mean instead of us watching him typing it out. It makes the tutorial easier to follow and doesn't waste any time. I do wish the voice-over was a little louder. I had to max out my volume to hear it. Overall an extremely useful unreal c++ tutorial that would be hard to find elsewhere.

[@FMagno]

I'm still on my way through the tutorial, but please, next time increase a little your volume, I usually use the volume from my computer at around 30, but I had to increase to 60-90 to be able to hear your voice correctly. Great tutorial so far and I really enjoy your content, good job!

One of the clearest and to the point tutorials I've seen for Unreal Engine so far! I seem to be stuck on something though, even after changing the values at 1:03:43 my player still does not move, I changed all the other settings that you did after placing the BP_ in the level as well

Otherwise you have to close the editor, and relaunch it from your IDE. I just figured this out, so hopefully it helps you!

For context, I left the projects at default and am using Lumen.

[@verdalyard]

1:20:00 - if you're struggling fixing the bug, make sure that it is the "Simulation GeneratesHit Events" tick on the Mesh object that you set to true. For example, in my layout ticks "Generate OVERLAP events" and "Generate HIT Events" are swapped compared to the author's layout, and that's why I have been clicking the wrong tick, leaving the needed one unchecked.

Nope, not sure why it wouldn't happen unless you don't have your VS installation setup correctly. You could always trying right clicking the project and selecting to generate VS files.

[@feerasse9931]

same issue for me

[@dahl5969]

Sounds like you guys are missing some .net stuff. Instead of creating a blueprint project, try creating a C++ project. Unreal Engine should then give you an error with the link to whatever you're missing to be able to generate the .sin. Follow the instructions given by UE and once you're able to create a C++ project you should be able to generate .sin files.

Have this error " Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named 'RD' in UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. This type must derive from the 'ModuleRules' type defined by Unreal Build Tool." when I try to compile in Rider

[@Gimosknight]

In Rider go to File > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Unreal Engine > Click Install RiderLink plugin in Game. When I did some googling people said the issue was with having RiderLink installed to the Engine so if you switch it to the Game it works. I didn't work the first time I tried, but it did the second time and after I started a fresh project.

[@unrealdevop]

I finally got to the bottom of the error, this error is caused by the current lack of Plugin support for UE5. If your going to suggest someone uses a compiler then you ought to point out that it won't support the plugin on the engine side.

[@M3L6H]

Note for those trying to run Rider with Unreal Engine 5 preview 2. If you get an error while installing RiderLink ("Failed to build plugin... Couldn't find unreal engine root"), that is because they moved the UnrealBuildTool.exe into a subfolder, which Rider is not aware of. What you need to do is launch an admin Powershell instance, then run: cd C:\Unreal\UE_5.0\Engine\Binaries\DotNET The path might be different if you have unreal installed elsewhere. Then you need to run: New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Name UnrealBuildTool.exe -Value .\UnrealBuildTool\UnrealBuildTool.exe Once you have done this, in Rider, navigate to File > Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Unreal Engine. In there, click the button "Install RiderLink in Game". It should now install without issues.

[@irtezarahman5370]

About issues -First one when Binding not working, 2 thing always Make sure you bind event function in beginplay instead of constructor. Mark that event function as UFUCTION macro. -Where items are not destroying Again bind that event in beginplay instead of constructor Make sure generate overlap event is ticked in mesh settings of items(as you are overlapping, so that you also need to select overlap all from dropdown. -Where Widget is not showing, afterall BP_GameModeBase graph is setup. To get the callback from that BP_GameModeBase graph event you need to add super::beginplay in RollaBallGameModeBase.cpp which is missing. Afterall you will get a hardcoded text's widget, Btw your widget will be appear in viewport.

[@trookie2179]

I'm new to C++ but in the BallPlayer.cpp file: I have moved this line of code: Mesh->OnComponentHit.AddDynamic(this, &ABallPlayer::OnHit); from the ABallPlayer::ABallPlayer() Constructor, to the void ABallPlayer::BeginPlay() function. Q1. Is this correct? Am I also supposed to move this line of code: UFUNCTION() void OnHit(UPrimitiveComponent* HitComponent, AActor* OtherActor, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, FVector NormalImpulse, const FHitResult& Hit); from the Player.h file to the void ABallPlayer::BeginPlay() function in the Player.cpp file? I assume not, as header files are for declaring the Class and all contained variable, functions, etc... Q2. Is this correct? Q3a. Can you share the code for your void ABallPlayer::BeginPlay() function? and I believe what is new in there is removed from ABallPlayer::ABallPlayer() Constructor. Q3b. Is this correct? Apologies if these are silly questions but I just need some clarity as it is currently working but the first time I play after the opening the project in Unreal, it seems to not work without first building from the IDE using Ctrl + Shift + F11.

[@murkeh217]

Thank you for your answers but when i tried to solved the widget not showing issue by adding Super::BeginPlay() My editor crashes on ball touching the square... how do i fix it?

[@TheFluid]

The issue at "Simple Debugging" 1:26:50, isnt it caused beacause you binded the function earlier in the constrcutor, which it shouldt. Its normal to bind functions in BeginPlay or PostInitializeComponents.

Nice tutorial. I had also the problem with the AddDynamics but solved it via adding UFUNCTION() over the methode definition like that: UFUNCTION() void OnHit(UPrimitiveComponent* HitComponent, AActor* OtherActor, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, FVector NormalImpulse, const FHitResult& Hit); The Problem is that in via blueprint the methode OnHitComponent is triggering but in the Code you need to "map" this. without its not triggering. Thats how i explain it to myself.

[@armanelgudzhyan192]

This happened to me with the exact same scenario. Did you just install VS 2022 and start it right away? I tried doing that to upgrade from 2019 and the exact same problem happened. What you need to do (or at least what worked for me): 1. Install VS 2022. 2. Restart. 3. Install .NET (not 100% sure why, but my UE complained about it) 4. Restart. 5. Make a NEW UE project and try again (and make sure your editor in Editor Settings is specifically set to VS 2022 and not just "Visual Studio"). If you already installed VS 2022 (which you have and I did, too), just (re)install .NET and restart and make a new project. You might also need to use the Tools tab in UE to generate a project for Visual Studio, too.

What's weird is it didn't do it the first time either. I had to change JumpCount >= MaxJumpCount to JumpCount > MaxJumpCount. Compile it externally (again), then ..it worked. So I put it back to >= and compiled it again (without closing UE5 just for giggles) and...it works now..../facepalm. I now go to bed after working on this for 1 1/2 hrs ..good class :D

[@davidwootton7355]

I ran into two problems that I managed to figure out. First, my C++ classes were not showing up in the Unreal 5 content browser. I solved that by checking the Show C++ classes in the content browser settings. Second, I'm using Visual Studio 2022. In the video, there were a couple places where one of the Rider coding assists was showing implied class names, for instance something like ARollaGameItemBase: that wasn't intended to be in the actual source code. There as also one place where Rider showed an & in a coding assist for a parameter. I know C++, but I didn't know if there was something in the Unreal compiler tools that was preprocessing those, so I typed them in my code, which then did not compile. I finally realized they were some sort of code assist, got rid of them, and everything was fine after that.

[@AllAroundFlight]

Is this a good place to start? I am quiet new to unreal engine (i did go through the video from unreal sensei) but this tutorial already lost me a bit when the definte componets where added. I guess i could keep folowing the tutorial but not sure how much it would make sense or i should start somewhere else?

[@samuelwallenas6861]

I problem I ran into is that the force added to the ball was in the direction of the camera. When the camera was angeled down, the force added forward was also down, and backwards force was also up. This made the ball fly when pressing S. I made some modifications to the code, removing the Z value from the forward vector: void ARollaBallPlayer::MoveForward(float Value) { const FVector CamForward = Camera->GetForwardVector() * MoveForce * Value; const FVector Forward = FVector(CamForward.X, CamForward.Y, 0.f); Mesh->AddForce(Forward); }

[@rochdenis982]

Thanks, very helpful!

[@glitchhub-gamedevelopmentt5399]

There are still some calculations needed to add, because with this code, you shorten the vector's length, and you have to modify it to be the same length, but without the Z value. const FVector CamRight = Camera->GetRightVector(); FVector Right = FVector(CamRight.X, CamRight.Y, 0); Right = (Right / Right.Length()) * MoveForce * value; I got rid of the const to simplify my calculation, so what I do here is normalizing the vector then I multiply with MoveForce and value, so the vector is as long as it should be.

When a new project is created i don’t have the .sln file in the folder of the project. Does anyone know what can be the issue? Thanks in advance for your reply. (I have asked the same question on the Dev Community and attached a photo of how it looks)

[@cinamynj]

Did you figure it out? I’m having the same issue

[@petergyure3699]

Ok this is embarrassing, but I am stuck very early. I created my RollABallPlayer class and header files, built the project, created the blueprint, but neither the root component, nor the camera is visible there. What am I missing? I googled a lot but can't seem to find a solution. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Be sure it's built/compiled successfully without errors. If it has then close and reopen unreal. Sometimes it just needs a refresh for big changes made in the Constructor.

[@petergyure3699]

@@DevEnabled Thank you for your answer. Here's what happened: although the IDE output stated that the build was successful, in fact it wasn't because Unreal Engine was running and it skipped the compilation of the player class. So I went on and closed UE, hit build again, reopened UE and tada - everything is working. Thanks for the great tutorial anyway, keep it up.

If you have issues at the "Fixing Player Class" section, try this: FIX 1 (Any IDE): stackoverflow.com/questions/62493213/creating-a-new-class-c-in-unreal-with-visual-studio-gives-me-too-many-errors The first 4 steps of the 6 step answer worked for me (did not need step 5 or 6). Also, when wanting to build, use Ctrl + Alt + F11 to build through Unreal Engine, not your preferred IDE & if this build fails, save and close all instances of the Project in Unreal Engine and then build from your IDE. If this doesn't work there is probably an issue in the code. FIX 2 (Rider): plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14989-unreallink/ Go to this website and wait for the site to check the compatibility of your Rider version with RiderLink/UnrealLink. It will appear in Red below the blue Get button in the top right if it is NOT compatible (Note: Unsure if anything appears, when compatible). If not compatible and you already installed to either Engine or Game. Then you need to go to Settings > Languages & Frameworks > Unreal Engine and then ensure that "Automatically update RiderLink..." option is unticked and Extract Riderlink from both Engine and Game ( to be safe). Hopefuly this helps save someone the time I lost XD

[@RogerBaconGaming]

What was nice about this video is it gave me a better idea of when C++ isn't worth the effort compared to blueprints. Something guides only teaching you about BP really don't convey well in my opinion.

[@DevEnabled]

😅 Not sure why that feels like a subtle insult..

[@RogerBaconGaming]

@@DevEnabled Its definitely not.

[@eliasjensen3115]

You are lucky my favourite nice tuto is nice tuto

[@tomtomkowski7653]

1:30:00 - it's not working because you put your bindings into the constructor. So once you recreated your class it worked. Put all these bindings into BeginPlay so it will add all these bindings at runtime and you should not have such problems.

[@Connorses]

I couldn't finish the Creating Widget Blueprint step. UE 5.3 crashed when I created the text box, clicked "Is Variable", and then switch to Graph from Designer view. Crashed right when I clicked "Graph" in the upper right.

[@Grispg4]

Great tutorial!

[@MrDroupette]

Thank you for this tutorial, I'm not through yet but I had a question regarding the OverlapBegin implementation on the GameItem class. You're using casting to see if OtherActor is of type GamePlayer. Coming for another language it looked weird to me since for now (maybe later it will be the case) we don't need to access OtherActor's data in this method. Would it be acceptable to just test the type of OtherActor (OtherActor && OtherActor->IsA(GamePlayer::StaticClass()) and avoid Casting altogether ?

[@MrDroupette]

@m o t i Indeed, thanks

[@superturbo1]

ANyone run into any issues where C++ classes won't show up in a Blueprint project. But if you create a C++ project, they appear as expected?

[@gniludio]

My RollaBall starts flying when moving "backwards" since the camera forward/backwards direction has the 40° angle... Is that only for me?

[@naserjnealhouti5289]

Around 2:56:36 I am a little confused why we have made two variables one named GameWidgetClass and the other named GameWidget. If we are assigning our WBP_blueprintRollable to our GameWidgetClass why not just add that to the viewport? why did we instead say GameWidget = CreateWidget(GetWorld() , GameWidgetClass); I'm assuming the above line just stores a copy of our WBP_blueprintRollable to our GameWidget but if our GameWidgetClass already has that information why not just add that to the viewport?

[@PP-ss3zf]

Using unreal engine 5.0.3 I followed with this exactly, but using Visual Studio 2022. When I got to 39:13 in the video, none of the components in my BP hierarchy say '(Inherited)' - have I missed something or done something wrong?

[@gunawan7807]

Nice tutorial

[@SangkhomWongkhamchan]

Thank you, it means a lot:)

[@JASG-gamedev]

I've been stuck for hours on the fixing player class section. I open the sln file, build it. Then when you build the project again and open unreal engine through your IDE, I can't figure out how to do this in VS. Anyone still around this video have any ideas? TIA

[@avinashkumar5255]

Please help Rider is displaying these type of error after i built the project "Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named 'RD' in UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. This type must derive from the 'ModuleRules' type defined by Unreal Build Tool." if anyone has a solution to these that will be very helpful.

[@gannetpwr9820]

Did you ever find a solution, I am having the same problem. However, strangely it worked for like a few hours before it started doing that for me

[@unrealdevop]

The error is being caused by the current lack of support by UE5 for engine plugins, you'll have to switch the plugin over to your Game instead. • Press Settings | Languages & Frameworks | Unreal Engine | Install RiderLink plugin in Game

[@unrealdevop]

I find it interesting that he endorsed the Rider for Unreal compiler while targeting UE5 and yet he never even mentioned this issue, I would like to add that because you can't install it directly to UE5 as a plugin you will have to restart your project every time you change a line of code. Your better off just doing this in UE4, people really should stop trying to use UE5 as clickbait to lure people in. Unreal Engine 5 is in early access and because of this it has some really serious issues, a lot of features are disabled altogether, no one should be using UE5 to learn the Unreal Engine period, the only purpose of having it in Early Access is to let experienced developers become familiar with the new features that are coming too it...very little else works properly outside of that...I can list things off all day that are missing and don't work in UE5 right now.

[@expresszteamkft.8597]

track, but the problem is I don't know how to do tNice tutorials, it only goes to the setuper as the whole track...can you help with tNice tutorials?

[@jandynotaloca]

could i replace the this keyword with anything in " InputComponent->BindAxis("MoveForward", this, &ARollableplayer::MoveForward); "

[@MrLingon]

Hi! I tried opening this project after cloning it from a friends git repo. I get a problem saying that the module *project name* are missing or built with a different version. Do you know what might have caused this?

[@stephenblack4304]

thanks it was really usefull

[@jamesford1426]

Has this been edited retroactively to say UE5? Because the video appears to be EU4 based on paths.

[@DevEnabled]

Sorry, not too sure what you mean. Nothing has been edited out or altered, I try to keep 100% of the process so people can easily follow along.

[@arvindkumarmanisekaran7173]

Thanks

[@Jim-id2zf]

Every time I restart UE the BP_Player Blueprint reverts back to when it was first created. I then need to add the sphere and make all the other setting changes again. Any idea on why this is not being saved? Thanks

[@Jim-id2zf]

I was using Live Compile in Visual Studio 2022 which was causing the issue. Fixed the jumping issue also.

[@unrealengine-emira3480]

Hi, First I am enjoying your tutorial and your classes in Udemy. Second I found that Rider for Unreal Engine is free in Unreal Marketplace, but it just supports Unreal Engine 4.24, and listed for the newer version the plugin is included in the newer version of the unreal engine. When I looked at the plugin it was listed, but not available in the Source Code list. Any idea how can I get it, especially I had it a year ago and my free one is expired. Thanks

[@unrealengine-emira3480]

@m o t iI I did not see it in the list for Source Code only Visual Studio options and CLion only, is there is something I missed?

[@unrealengine-emira3480]

@m o t i, Yes I did and it see in the list now. Thanks so much for your help

[@DevEnabled]

Thank you, great to hear. And it looks like you have Rider sorted now?

[@alterWarOfficial]

I was wondering why you were using rider, a c# ide, rather than clion. Any reasons for that decision?

[@DevEnabled]

Just that it works better. Loads faster, better intellisence, better understanding and handling of the Unreal Macros etc. I'm always happy to try new software if it makes my life easier.

[@derekadair5320]

I found a bug in your movement code that was driving me CRAAAZY. Considering the camera vector is angled down, and that's what we use to calculate up/down movement... The ball will actually move along this vector. This can be seen by turning the move force WAYYY up. To fix it you need to add an FVector in RADIANS (not degrees...). a la: const FVector Forward = (CameraFVector + FVector(0,0,.49999999)) * Value * MoveForce; *NOTE that I angled mine down 30 degrees, you will need to calculate your own angle.

[@Roseland85]

Where does one get the initial project files for this? they're not on Patreon, nor linked in the info under the video.

Hi, it's been uploaded since July last year in the patreon download folder I share. It's named YT_RollaBall
