[@lewis9s]

24:08 ???

[@DonMhylios]

20:41 It doesn't show me any "Input mode type"

[@ConflictGamingHD]

just the channel i was looking for, i just started out a long time ago on unreal but i dropped it because i did not put my focus into it , but now i am. My friend gave me a project and its pac man. i will recreate my own game from this tutorial and add extra stuff to it.

[@JoeVonD]

JoeBakari That’s perfect! And welcome back to Unreal! The tutorial is a little fast paced so if you’re having any difficulties feel free to ask for help. Also don’t forget the finished project is in the description for free!

[@ConflictGamingHD]

@@JoeVonD defiantly the speed was crazy LMAO, maybe slow it down just a tad bit next time? but i got it in slow motion to follow the tutorial

[@JoeVonD]

Haha sorry about that. This is my first intermediate tutorial. All of my others are much more beginner friendly.

[@ConflictGamingHD]

@@JoeVonDyou should have a class in skillshare i would deff pay for lessons

[@JoeVonD]

Thank you, seriously. But I’m just putting out videos for fun now. Eventually I’ll start showcasing projects I’ve been working on and that’ll be when things really get fun!

[@DonMhylios]

When I press start I can't move my character and the ghosts don't move either.

[@ooidwrioo8968]

I’ve been busy with school but I will try on the weekend

[@JoeVonD]

Awesome! It goes at a really fast pace but there’s a lot of good stuff to try!

[@ryanking7553]

This is a great resource. I learned a lot watching this. Only con is that at times I had to watch at .5x and the mouse was still too fast to follow.

[@JoeVonD]

lol damn the jump cuts really are insane in this one.

[@Spyro439]

not sure if its just me but you didn't put anything for the character death in the master blueprint

[@xProRapidZzz]

at 1:27 you made a boolean variable, ive tried to make the same one but it doesnt have a target, p[lease can you help

[@JoeVonD]

That Boolean is set from the player controller reference. You’ll need to drag off of the GetPlayerController node to set it.

[@LoadedFlair]

Did you run into any problems when making the game if so, what were they and how did you resolve them?

[@JoeVonD]

Like a million problems for every new feature lol. It depends on what the issue was but generally I had to make sure I was transferring variables correctly, I’d often refer to tutorials (sometimes even my own as a refresher lol), and a lot of the time I’d just have to brute force a janky solution and come back to it later. A lot of solutions just popped into my head randomly days later lol.

[@JoeVonD]

It’s been so long since I made this quick game that I can’t really remember specific issues I had at the time but I do remember it not being too bad since it was already based on an existing game.

[@LoadedFlair]

@@JoeVonD When launching my game the ai wont move. Is there a specific setting in editor that should be selected

[@celloj3703]

5:10 set static mesh to Shape Plane? What? Edit: Nevermind, I just realized that you're using the starter content

[@harsimrankaur2107]

Hi joe I am facing issue my master character is moving not the base player character

[@JoeVonD]

Hey, it probably has something to do with the input controls. Maybe take a look at the provided project in the description. I recently updated it to 5.3.

[@harsimrankaur2107]

My ghost is also picking up stuff can you help me with that

[@entertainment_ROCOSTORY_voice]

SO good Tutorial i Love it!!

[@JoeVonD]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope it helped you.

[@webislands1575]

is it opensource ? put part in my game part ?

[@JoeVonD]

Use as much of it as you want. Download is in the description

[@OKing780]

I know this is an old tutorial but can I make it in ue5

[@JoeVonD]

@@OKing780 yeah, I actually migrated the project to UE5 in the download link in the description

[@LoadedFlair]

My Ghosts wont move when i launch the game. Any idea where the problem might be?

[@muzafarahammed5719]

Did you get it to work ?

[@LoadedFlair]

@@muzafarahammed5719sorry for the late reply, unfortunately not

[@JoeVonD]

Make sure there is a nav-mesh so the AI knows where the walkable bounds are. Also tick needs to be turned on for the enemies. Feel free to download the project in the description (I updated it recently) for a clearer example.

[@muzafarahammed5719]

Hai Joe, i followed all the steps and when at the end after packaging the game in the end, when i open the game I'm getting the third person map with the main character but not the levels I've created... Please help me with this.. please

[@JoeVonD]

In the project settings you’ll need to set the default map to your starting map

[@muzafarahammed5719]

@@JoeVonD and the enemies too are not moving .. they are just roaming in a small box ..but aren't coming out

[@JoeVonD]

@@muzafarahammed5719 yeah I think Epic changed how a few of the nodes work since the video came out. There’s tons of other simple follow AI tutorials you can apply to the enemies though.

[@japanse_samurai9456]

does this also work for UE5?

[@JoeVonD]

Yes, definitely!

[@JoeVonD]

In fact, I just updated the project in UE5. If you’d like to check it out, it’s downloadable in the description box.

[@japanse_samurai9456]

@@JoeVonD Oh cool, thanks

[@deadmanaccle8432]

I followed your guide to the letter but the enimies don't move. Send help pls

[@LoadedFlair]

Did you manage to fix the problem?

[@mattiazani6159]

at the minute 1.24, where that ''SET'' (show mouse cursor) came from?

[@JoeVonD]

The player controller. It should always allow you to drag off of it and change whether or not the mouse cursor is shown.

[@michellevond3768]

In 30 minutes? Impressive

[@JoeVonD]

Lol it took me a whole afternoon but the video is 30 minutes 🤷🏻‍♂️. Kelis didn’t like playing it though 😂😂

[@Spyro439]

i wish i could do this by my self without video's is that how you started

[@JoeVonD]

Definitely not. It took me a long time to understand how communication between blueprints worked in Unreal and even now I have to plan things out beforehand. It’s a skill that needs to be developed. It will become easier over time but it’s not as easy as the videos make it out to be. There’s a lot of thought and planning off screen before I hit the record button.

[@harishvijendiran5234]

Good job 😊👏

[@JoeVonD]

Thank you!!

[@shilperwork9755]

WHY IS IT TOO FAST I CANT DO IT BECAUSE THE VIDEO IS TOO FAST

[@JoeVonD]

Sorry about that. It’s intended as an intermediate tutorial so it’s definitely very fast paced.

[@RiderofAntalya]

Wtf is "SET" man. please

[@JoeVonD]

Setting a variable changes the value of it to whatever you set it to so that the next time you get the variable it will give you the information it was set to. So if the score of a game starts off at 0 but then you score a point the score integer variable will be set to 1. Now any widgets that need to display the score integer variable will be told that the current score is 1 instead of what it was before when the game started.

[@RiderofAntalya]

@@JoeVonD yea but i wasnt appearant until i click on sth right upper button of variable choosing panel. Some kinda filter

[@BigTopG6969]

Talking too fast and not explaining, not for beginners...

[@JoeVonD]

Oh definitely, this is for sure a more fast paced and advanced tutorial. But just about all the other tutorials I’ve made are aimed at beginners. Hopefully those are more helpful 😁
