I'm new to unreal and game developing in general, and I've followed your tutorials for a fe days. As the rest of the people said here, your videos are incredebly helpful when you don't know where to start or just how to do it.

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you so much!!

[@Baleur]

Bro i followed another HUGE youtubers health system tutorial, and his way was insanely complex in the healthbar widget, called functions to update it and new variables. Your way is so much simpler. And doesnt break on respawn.

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you so much man! I always try to make my tutorials easy-to-follow. And turn complicated systems into easy ones

[@overtoast1105]

Great video. I've been watching a lot of unreal videos lately and this is one of the only ones to actually help. Clear and concise, thanks!

[@wasillashorty]

Dude, you rock! so many of your videos have helped me on my first serious project!!! you keep it simple, please keep up the AMAZING work!!

[@chriseubank5687]

I love your videos. I just recently switched over to UE5 from Unity and your videos have been really helpful thx.

[@fluidexpressions6856]

gorka games is the best tutorial series thank you so much

[@i_arji]

bro i swear to god, you are a life saver, im getting kinda pissed off because some of the tutorials i saw is trying to be extra adding some unnecessary blueprints and shit, thank you!

[@chandlerfrantz3140]

Like everyone else has said; great stuff. I, for one, would love a clear video on how to take and deal damage.

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks! Yeah so I do have a damage implementation on my 2nd combat system tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2mlhYqKm5KpqNU

very quick and easy to follow. thanks alot

thanks! I really try to make it simple to follow

[@brandonwalker4431]

This was a great and clear video!

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you!!

[@milantiquestudios7460]

Very nice. Quick and easy to follow. Thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to make it so its more like a 3D platformer where bubbles pop or something when the hp lessens

[@user-zf7mr5pl3n]

You also should always set health to 0 if branch condition is true. Otherwise it will become a negative value each time you apply damage after health hit 0. Maybe not so important for a basic lesson but may be an issue when you start to recover the lost health.

[@user-wx7qm5oe6n]

very very great video thank you so much

[@Pendif]

i feel like i just waited 10 hours i found this video made it and it works all good then wanted to add a text to make it easier to see how much damage you took only to break the health bar so now i got to go back to a save build and remake it

[@ZimMabu_GameDev.]

You are sucha cool guy i hope you get 1 million follower bro!!!!!! THAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

[@naytbreeze]

Great video again. For some reason when i go to add the Health bar UI in the Bp third person blueprint I can't get it to show on my screen after repeating your steps. I ended up finding another video that mentioned adding an overlay on to the canvas panel first then progress bar which I did. In that video they also added another BP controller and added the UI for the health bar in the event graph there (Instead of BP Thirdperson). Then they switched the controller under the world settings and the UI appears on screen. I did this and it worked as well. But I was wondering why It didn't work under the default player controller setting in the world setting like yours does. Thoughts? Thanks again!

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks! Hmm, it might be that you didnt set up the anchors correctly on the widget, so the health bar appears off screen, or that after creating the widget you didnt call the "add to viewport" node. But in the other video that you saw he probably changed the player controller because he wants to use hes own specific custom one, but I am using the default PC, which should work, but maybe double check the anchors and the "add to viewport" node 😄

[@niltsor9929]

Thanks! Only 1 issue here even though I cast to my player character the slider doesn't appear as filled and go down when pressing M , I just know its working by the print debug text

[@guttobossyt]

i loved

[@keshav_p]

Subbed! Excellent and short one!. I have one issue, I have 2 trigger boxes, one to subtract and one to add, and if I go to the add one first, then it adds beyond hundred and the subtract one doesn't work till the beyond 100 value comes to 100. Any simple solution for this?

[@alexvega4803]

so i got the health bar but now i cant move

ive seen so many of your videos now that the theme is stuck in my head, what song is that?

Took a shot at every "umm" and had alcohol poisoning lmao Thanks for the tutorial anyway.

[@user-cj5xi2ej8s]

great video. i have just one question when i open my third person character blueprint i see different blocks already used so when i try to use event begin play it wont allow me how do i change this?

[@its_soaz]

so u should already have a beginplay by default connected to other stuff just reconnect the begin play to the stuff ur adding theenn connect the stuff ur adding to whatever the beginplay was connected to

[@Miauwymiauw]

My ai suddently stops working when i use double jump ability how do i fix this?

[@diaba4032]

why u do all things in Player? winjets is spawn in player or gamemode?

[@unbetable3717]

how do i get a number in a hart instead of a slider also cant get the "event beginplay"

[@user-kj6bf4vc4s]

When i go to connect the "event begin play" to the rest of it i cannot control my character because i have to disconnect it and i dont know how to fix please help

[@LukGamesCZ-rm3db]

Please make a tutorial so the horses can eat

[@tohonest]

how do you have 2 event begin play nodes?

[@8r3nYT]

Whenever I press to key to apply damage, my character just dies. What can I do to fix this?

[@rapenrapen-gj9cw]

can you help me on how to make this work in multiplayer?

[@happydoggo1235]

Hi there, I tried to make this in my game and did (or so I thought) everything you said but the health bar won't appear on my screen. Any Ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks!

[@GorkaGames]

have you placed the anchors correctly?

[@x4loviGaming]

But how do i do the same for the AI ? if i copy paste the same code into the AI if i were far away and did press the damage key he will recive damage without my weapon do hit him in the right second of the animation there has to be a hit box i think

[@GorkaGames]

I have actually made a tutorial on how to integrate this with an enemy ai: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKGYfZWaeJmpm80

[@x4loviGaming]

@@GorkaGames yeah i saw those but i mean dealing damage is not included for both the AI & The character and there are no video on YT could you do one please or do you have it somewhere for teaching

[@artemaung5274]

You should probably redo tutorial with blueprint interfaces, casting to player character every time from health bar is bad and isn't going to scale.

[@sirpigsalot9416]

The health bar isn’t showing but the M bit works

[@alisonmiguel432]

can you help me i did everything correct but i cant get the evento Begin play

[@Starzie_]

So how do i link the damage to the enemy Ai

[@adamlauben2279]

does this work for enemies?

[@xXJAYSANXx]

Massive noob here. Been watching your tutorials a lot recently. I actually have a class that requires me to make a basic game and they link us to your youtube videos quite a bit hahah. I just tried following your steps on this video and it all seemed to work fine except the very last part. I cant get a new event begin play, every time i try to drag it in or type it up, it just takes me to the current one that is already in use. I'm using the third person character template and have been building on top of it. If you or anyone here has any tips that would be much appreciated. Its probably something super simple but like i said, I'm a noob.

[@ProjectXthemaking]

Yeah, i Also met this problem, but fixed it by adding an sequence to the original beginplay

[@xXJAYSANXx]

@@ProjectXthemaking Oh cool ill have to give that a shot, thank you.

[@ApocalypsFroid]

hello sr. can you make experience bar to get when kill monster ?

[@GorkaGames]

do you mean like a giant boss health bar?

[@ApocalypsFroid]

@@GorkaGames yeah that sounds great

[@lonesamuraiog]

For some reason i get one shot by any damage done to my player character and I cant figure it out lol. Ive watch your awesome video 100 times and changed numbers. If I set damage to 0 no damage is done. Switch it to 0.00001 and im dead...

[@GorkaGames]

I think I know what it is, make sure that the default variable for health is set to a larger value than 0 by default, in the variables section

[@eltwinscodm625]

Same

[@sellzord6217]

Did you delete the original blueprint in BP_ThirdPersonCharacter? I can't connect Event BeginPlay because it is already connected to something else.

[@saladontoast]

If you haven't got it yet, you can use the sequence node to connect Event BeginPlay to more than one thing

[@twotimescreations1888]

@@saladontoast thank you sir=D

[@sorgii]

I can’t connect the widget to the “event begin play” because I already that event being used for different code in BP_thirdpersoncharacter. Is there any other way I can do it?

what's your outro music called?

[@GorkaGames]

it is from Artlist.io , I dont exactly remember how it is called, but I will look and inform you

[@fluidexpressions6856]

watch his new video 2 hr long video, you can see a more complex health system in that video!

[@anandhusarth1135]

bro its work only beginning of game but after sometime it's not working 😢 please reply

[@TG2mil]

I can’t put another Event BeginPlay so what do I do

[@GorkaGames]

You will have to go into your current BeginPlay and add a "Sequence" node, and what you curreently have will go through the first conection, and the new stuff in the second connection

[@xionesj]

flight system next?

[@GorkaGames]

👀👀, maybe...

[@Saravana1311]

How to add damge from box collision?

[@GorkaGames]

You would basically have a trigger and call the "Apply Damage" event with the damage amount. I do have a tutorial on this! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmOsaHxul9GapJo

[@dinojakeyt]

so im on unreal 5, and for eventplay there is already stuff at it, if I delete that it wont move my character, but If I dont the health doesnt appear edit: I fixed it, just attach the "Health widge" to the end of Mapping

hi just a question how do in do that

how do i make that other players get the damage, not me

you would need to implement this system in the other players blueprints too and just call the "apply damage" event, I have a combat tutorial series where I touch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKGYfZWaeJmpm80

[@GorkaGames]

did you create a binding and casted correctly to your player?

[@SurferRadd]

The Hud should control widgets, not PlayerCharacter. Why not do it the way it is supposed to - the Unreal way. Would be more educational as well. Also binding is a tick, so lots of memory go out the window for such a small attribute. No way you are making a full game like this.

[@GorkaGames]

Yeah so this is meant to make beginners understand the core elements on what goes on making a simple and flexible health system. I didnt build it to be very optimized as that will complicate beginners and for now my focus is to let them learn the fundamentals on building a system such as this.

[@GabeGettinRich]

Seems like you don’t understand how tools work. Seeing as this began as a game development engine but people used it for virtual production to such an extent they expanded the platform, there is no such thing as the “right way”
