Thank you so much! You saved my sanity)

[@UnrealART]

haha, you are very welcome !

[@UnrealByYourself]

Good buddy! I'm sure you already know but for others, try with an event dispatcher or an update function in your Character or Game mode to avoid the Cast each time to save resource. However, you method is simple for new comer.

[@UnrealART]

Thanks for the tips! yeah I try to keep everything simple to prevent people from hating me and unreal ! 😂😂

No worries!

[@pulsestar4078]

works Great thanks very much, is there anyway of showing 5 of 5 coins collected and then lets say level complete screen shows?

[@UnrealART]

you are welcome , yes just add a /5 text in front of the coins number and then in the third person character blue print , you need to make a widget and add it to the blue print with the condition of the coins integer equal to 5 .

[@sonofzues8414]

Thank you very much

[@UnrealART]

No worries

[@LadCorazon]

Great video, though I do wish tutorials would stop with casting, as it'll never be used in a real world context. Interfaces should be hammered into everyone's mind as the default.

[@I-VisiBomb-I]

correct me if im wrong, but i think you can simplify this by using ++ instead of 'add' and 'set' when counting how many coins.

[@UnrealART]

yeah that`s true . you can do it that way as well . but I wanted to work with the get and set nodes so it can be a little easier to understand for beginners .

[@anotherreality7951]

great tutorial... i love it! is it possible to connect the coin blueprint to PCG? i want 1000 coins randomly placed on top of landscape.

[@UnrealART]

thanks mate. Yeah I think it is possible but I haven't done it myself yet

[@frederickmp451]

How can I make the currency counter maintain the value when it goes to another level? if I grab 2 coins in the first level, how do I do so that when I go to the other level the counter does not return to zero and continues to maintain the same value?

[@UnrealART]

hey, sorry for the late response, well you need to make some saving and loading systems for your variables, there are some tutorials about this topic on youtube I think this is what you need

[@Ba8sbaNybRMAcXCNdKnLTA]

Thank you for this tutorial! I have one question: How is it possible to have the coins spawn again in the same location a few minutes after they have been collected?

[@UnrealART]

no problem. you just need to get their location and add a spawn node after they are deleted .

[@Ba8sbaNybRMAcXCNdKnLTA]

Thanks for your reply! I have the spawn node after now, but nothing seems to happen.. Will I need anything after the spawn node?@@UnrealART

[@UnrealART]

well I think when we destroy the actor nothing works after, I am going to take a look at this subject and make a video about it . I think it's a good question to cover

how did you import the sound into the content browser it isn't working for me

[@UnrealART]

convert the format into WAV with online converters and then drag it into the content browser.

[@kareldominicjanes6737]

I can not add Event BeginPlay because in my BP_SpriteCharacter (for you thirdperson) i already have an Event BeginPlay

[@brothersgrimm1230]

Same here, did you figure it out?

[@UnrealART]

just connect it to the event begin play that you already have. If it's in use , connect it to the flow you have after the event begin play .

[@brothersgrimm1230]

@@UnrealART I'll try it when I get on my laptop. Thankyou

[@Taxi214F]

Hi i am trying make a actor spawn in ounce i collected a certian amount of coins. How do i go about doing that?

[@UnrealART]

Hey . you need a branch and check if the value of the variable equals for example to 20. If true, the flow should continue and call a spawn actor function .

[@lifei2short]

you should make a mini game for that

[@UnrealART]

yeah not a bad idea 👌😉

[@rusyxd3390]

my On Overlap blueprint does not trigger for sound and destroy. Any fixes?

[@UnrealART]

it triggers the other functions and it just doesn't work for sound and destroy?

[@rusyxd3390]

@@UnrealART It doesnt trigger any functions yet actually. Ive tried on print string afterwards then thats it. Pretty sure the On Component Begin Overlap event is the problem here.

[@ejazahmad9189]

what if i want to save the number of coins when the level is closed, the game is closed, and when i reopen the game i want the number of coins to be the same

[@UnrealART]

well saving the game is a different topic . I am working on a tutorial about how to make a mini game and I will cover that subject in the videos . but for now you can find tutorials about saving and making checkpoints in unreal and I am sure you will be able to find a soulution

[@UnrealART]

thanks mate !

[@endtasid]

my player bp says 'BP Tank' does not inherit from 'Character' ( Cast To BP_Tank would always fail). I dont know what i'm doing wrong.

[@endtasid]

that is inside the widget blueprint

[@UnrealART]

I don't know I have to look into it to see what is wrong

[@papi_papillon]

Are you using a possesed pawn by any chance? I'm not a unreal expert but I had the same issue. When Casting replace "Get Player Character" with "Get Player Pawn". Hope it helps

[@endtasid]

@@papi_papillon thank you I've solved it somehow but unable to remember how.

[@brothersgrimm1230]

Beginplay is already is use for the movement for my third person blueprint. Any idea on a solution?

[@furkanserdar8725]

same shit.

[@brothersgrimm1230]

@furkanserdar8725 irritating as hell I even tried zooming in on the video wondering where the movement was on his blueprint 😅

[@furkanserdar8725]

@@brothersgrimm1230 bro ı solved, use sequence after beginplay.

[@UnrealART]

what is the problem exactly ?? I watched the video again and I have not used event begin play in this mechanic . am I missing something ?

[@brothersgrimm1230]

@UnrealART you used begin play for the counter at the end, but it's already used for the movement so I either have the counter or the movement 😅

[@thebestchillsounds4780]

Another tutorial using casting.. Guys it's terrible due to too much memory allocation.

[@UnrealART]

thanks for sharing your opinion mate . I think for small projects like university assignments or projects that are made just for fun, it doesn't matter much but in bigger projects , the point you made is true. So it totally depends on the context.

[@mileshodge3477]

Doesn't save coins. Player dies resets to 0

[@UnrealART]

yeah saving is a different story

[@mileshodge3477]

@@UnrealART I found a way to get them to save. At least for the level.

[@-jarco-353]

@@mileshodge3477 how?

[@memeswiper]

​@@mileshodge3477 how did u do it??

[@mileshodge3477]

@memeswiper I had to store references for point making into the blueprint for third person game mode and call them from there. So if your point making is done in third person blueprint and it keeps getting deleted when you destroy it then it destroys those points so you have to have them being stored else where. Hope that makes sense
