How to use Blueprint Interfaces in Unreal Engine 5 in less than 3 minutes

[@Sedated3]

I love the straight to the point edit! fun fact: you only need to implement the interface on the receiving blueprint

[@schmoborama]

I get the opposite of that. I'm using ƒunction(Message) nodes from two different BPIs, in my player controller, and the receiving bp can only call from the BPI it's set to

This was useful to understand interfaces a bit more, and as a side quest I learned how to make a launch pad lol.

@@IvoGamesOfficial glad it helped!!!!💯

[@HenrikMakesGames]

holy shit you just saved my project I had no idea how to get the target on the interact message thank you so much

[@THIZZ0IN0PEACE]

Huge! Crawling through the BPI hole right now and this was a really nice and quick explanation.

[@joeychimney]

Glad it was useful🔥🔥🔥

[@farloux]

REALLY really good video. Thanks man. This was a great recap to some tutorials I watched.

[@حاتمإسماعيل-ب7ر]

Dame it, your tutorial works for me from the first shot, why all other tutorials tell us to do "for each loop" and "does implement interface" things? it's just works with your tutorial. I hope you answer me.

[@joeychimney]

there are specific things like that you can do in order to make your game run a little more optimized, or stuff you can do if you are trying to pick out a specific actor that is using the interface to do something in particular on that actor. Its all situational though, and not strictly necessary for all instances. Glad my tutorial was able to work for you!!

[@mufasa.alakhras]

Nice video! would've liked a longer version on interfaces though!

[@joeychimney]

Glad u liked it! If you have any questions about anything specific lmk!

[@shingAMarie]

this tutorial is confusing. what’s the explanation for using the interface with and without using a "message" vs "event" ?also isn’t this interface thing pointless if you’re going to make a reference to all actors of class?

[@schroga4077]

Thank you for the tutorial! Helped a lot.

Smashing video dude. Thanks!

[@Amoniacojp]

so great thanks man! straight to the point

[@joeychimney]

No prob! Thanks for watching!!! 💯💯

[@tim.martin]

You can make a function named 'Boost' in a blueprint, and call it from any other blueprint (without using interfaces) ... So I think more information is required here to highlight the true benefits of interfaces.

[@shad0wniy]

really how so i always have to cast to the blueprint before being able to get the function

[@Prajwal____]

Pls do more like this tutorials!!❤❤

Nice video, I tried it but for some my player walks right through even though the cube has the correct collision type

[@ZimMabu_GameDev.]

thanks twice i forgett it how to use it

[@plasma8321]

What if you are using a widget?

[@javieralopez7177]

thanks you so much! you save meee

[@nighthawkgaming1962]

that add event tab doesn't have the the interface as a event and i have the class in the implimented interface

[@nighthawkgaming1962]

ive looked at many tutorials on this now and still cant send any data over the interface i must be missing something

[@nighthawkgaming1962]

holy shit making a new 1 somehow works but didnot fix my old 1 i am so confused by this

[@tommygunn2782]

@@nighthawkgaming1962 you literally saved me with that. I had to recreate mine as well and wouldn't have thought of that without you mentioning it, thanks.

teach me how to assign the first controller to the second player in a local multiplayer . . .

[@joeychimney]

so this is kind of a complicated topic, but in short you can basically put in the scene all of your player start positions, and assign a tag to each one (1,2,3 etc.) then instead of having your primary pawn as your default pawn in project settings, you basically assign an actor that detects inputs, and waits for your controller to press a button, which will then prompt you to choose which player you want to select (using the tags you assigned to each player start). Then based on which option you select, it will spawn in that character, and then you use the possess node to give the player control of that character with the controller they are using. there is a decent amount of stuff that goes into this, including blueprint interfaces. You would probably use the blueprint interface in the actor that detects inputs, and it would interface to the game mode in order to spawn the player that you want to play as.

[@realmcafee]

@@joeychimney what a unbelievable answer. i was researching for so long and asked on every platform. my approach today were originally a subclass of UGameViewportClient that overrides InputKey(...) and InputAxis(...) to redirect certain inputs, but now im going to throw myself into your description and try to figure it out | sadly im not familar with both of them - wish me luck

[@Hexarth]

Really well done, but your avatar in the corner is really distracting without providing anything meaningful to the tutorial

I don't get it :D but some day I will

[@joeychimney]

if u keep fumbling around with unreal engine, eventually it just clicks and u start to understand things more and more. U can do it, I believe 💯

[@IndependentArt]

@@joeychimney thanks man. I'm starting to feel it here and there, but I'm just not ready for this one.
