Hi! Just wanted to say that this is by far the best Verse tutorial I've seen!! I never coded anything in my life and I'm trying to learn Verse and it was pretty intimidating at first. I've been going through the documentation the past few days to learn the syntax and what variables, functions, types etc are, but it really helps seeing someone making a functional game and explaining the thought process behind everything. Really looking foward to your next tutorials and If you made a dedicated/more in-depth course I'd definitively buy it, since it's been kinda hard learning all by myself!! Anyway, thanks for the help 😁

[@WarforgeXP]

Thanks! Many more to come asap

same, this video its really helpfull

[@josechhan-qy7is]

Nice pers

[@EmberSkye13]

First of all, thank you for making this video. This is a much more fun way to practice the Verse than just going back and forth between documentation and VS Code alone. I think there is a mistake in the video though (unless I missed something): at 1:03:23when you cut the video, I think you also went in and added InitTestMode() under OnBegin (I don't think it was there before 1:02:00, last I saw was at 54:35, but it is there already when you scroll up at 1:06:00. Mine wasn't working at that point, but I didn't have a connection issue, so I looked at your completed script to see what (besides things not covered yet) was different, and entering InitTestMode() under OnBegin fixed it for me.

[@SneakyAssassin]

thanks man your a life saver fr🙏

[@ZeroShotBob]

I thought I was going crazy. I ended up going to github for the code and it worked so I just assumed I messed something up. Nice Catch!

Many thanks, friend!

Actually was stuck on this for days thanks for the help

[@HenkkaArtGames]

THANK YOU! I went through the parts of the video twice, double-checking everything and was miffed because I couldn't see where I did a typo or missed a checkbox or something!

[@GregDunn]

Just wanted to drop a note and say what a fantastic tutorial this was! I've been programming professionally a long time and have been using Unity quite a while as well, but I'm very interested in UEFN. And you just hit the perfect balance of showing what needed to be done without over-explaining every single little thing. This was the very best UEFN tutorial I could've hoped for. I now have a REALLY good idea of how to get started in UEFN, and what I can do next. Thanks so much!

[@WarforgeXP]

Thanks!

[@dappy66]

Please make more tutorials about this! In this video you've covered EXACTLY what I needed for my map! Thank you so much! You deserve A LOT of subscribers, I wish you the best!

Such a great tutorial! I have programming experience and I think you nailed the balance between being new-coder friendly without getting bogged down in it.

[@conner-leo]

really appreciate you taking the time to explain syntax for newbies. It's one thing to copy and paste code, but actually understanding it is tough, and this helps a lot!

[@josephstearns8949]

You're the best man! I tried so hard to follow the documentation from epic's site and it was really difficult! This not only helped me get my game working, but now I understand what to do to change it or make it better! THANK YOU!!

[@JimmyFraggs]

Hey Mark! I have no idea how you do it between writing books, balancing family life, your workout routine, and constantly creating awesome material. I've been a fan since the early Devslopes days and I appreciate what you do!

Glad to see you! I’m not some crazy performance nut haha. Just making something I find interesting and since I’ve been making coding videos for so long it’s easier. Also Devslopes has a new CEO. Thanks for sticking around

This is by far the best tutorial on UEFN! Thank you. I’m wondering if you know how i could have Platform or vehicle that will move around the map autonomously along a path? Cant seem to find a way to achieve this in UEFN and not UE. Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@Technologytechniquestv]

Amazing tutorial, feels very professional and is very clear. Subscribed!

[@WarforgeXP]

Thanks!

[@xAR2x]

Thank you for the information. Gonna try to make some maps and game modes similar to this but from the console, since my PC doesn't have the requirements. Obviously I can't use verse, but maybe later on. I use visual studio for SQL mainly, and I am eager to learn more complex lenguagues, this looks great way to introduce people to coding. And I think UEFN and AI Chats will help me a lot to achieve that.

[@nxt_tim]

I really think Epic made a clever move with this. Personally I feel like since I only worked with Unity so far and don't know a lot about FN either I can already give up on actually making a successful project "in time" to not drown in the masses, but I will still look into it simply because I think it could be really fun having all these assets at hand to build some stuff with them

[@phantomakuma1384]

new subscriber here and i'm fairly new to the programming world only like 4-5 years experience, mostly i work on things with my dad and this was a great tutorial and explained perfectly, verse is quite odd to me but this helped me gain a better understanding.

Amazing tutorial. I have been looking for someone who is as precise as you are being and this just 10x my UEFN knowledge in 1 hour. Thanks for the help!

[@williamtolliver749]

I had to pause to come here and say this. I truly feel you have no idea, just how much you repeating that you had to go check the API reference several times to understand the verse api. I literally nearly gave up on engineering because i thought i was a moron… low and behold every strong Engineer i know has to deal with exactly what I’m afraid of, and knowing that helps me know i have nothing to be afraid of. I can feel the imposter syndrome melting off.. Thank you so much

[@Rehd66]

At 37:20 if anyone's wondering why he didn't preface the variable with "var" like he did the others, it's because variables that begin with "var" can be changed at runtime, while variables declared with just a name are constants and cannot be changed. I think 😄

[@alvar0208]

Incredible video, I have programmed before but verse is still completely new world for me

[@dylanoosthuizen2291]

Hay man, this is the best tutorial video I have watch for UEFN. Please can you make more like this! I can’t you make more like this.

And it still doesn't work when I kill the Sentry, all the settings required are turned on but it still decides not to work. Anyone able to help?

It's hard to know. Sometimes Fortnite doesn't update when you deploy, so its always worth killing the game and re-building. Make sure to do A LOT of Print statements so you can see what is being called and what is not

[@WarforgeXP]

It’ll work everywhere. It’s the game engine that matters and runs the code. Unreal will compile the Verse then give Switch or PS5 whatever executable it needs

[@CryoHG]

[@mikesholiu]

this tutorial is better than anything else out there! really well presented! question: you mention multiple times that the := operator means that the right side of the expression could return empty. i thought that := meant that the type was not explicitly required based on the value gets assigned to it. could you help clarify this?

[@WarforgeXP]

I misspoke actually. That is just the type inference operator

[@fonfin]

Hi Thank you, your explanation is perfect. I only have one question, how would it be if you set it up so when you get eliminated by melee attack, it degrades you one weapon level?

[@DavidpkamiFortnite]

Hi Wahlbeck! I think there is a problem with this code is that you are storing the Players level at the begining of the game and you are not checking if new players join the game, so these players will be without gun and you can not upgrade your gun level if you kill them

[@WarforgeXP]

Correct. You just need to add those features.

[@pookienumnums]

I had an error that was relatively easy to fix, the first time we hit Build Code under verse. in the line: for (Player : AllPlayers, FortCharacter := Agent.GetFortCharacter[]): i had to change ''agent'' to ''player'' because we (you) decided to change that after you did Print("Storing player"). I dont believe you mention changing that section aftr changing it in line 14 or 15 where you had PlayerMap : [agent]int = map {}

@WarforgeXP I am having some issues with the gungame from the youtube video. Issue: When I join into the game and shoot at the sentry, the guns cycle fine.

Thanks for your time and efforts. 😎

[@ChristopherRohde1]

Great stuff!!! There is really a lack of any basic tutorials for Verse at this point - so this is much appreciated. Please keep them coming! I'm coming out of Unity and c# so functional programming is like greek to me. Question on the "option" keyword that you show in your more complete game-manager code. Can you explain what that is doing i.e. GrantWeapon(option{Player}, WeaponTier). my guess is it has something to do with the method signature of GrantWeapon function, which expects a type of "agent" not Player, but maybe GrantWeapon could also be called with a type Player as well? Little confusing to say the least, lol

[@WarforgeXP]

Sorry I missed this. Verse is all about safety and failure--preventing runtime errors. When data might not be present, we specify it as optional with the ? keyword. Later, if we actually want to use and save that value and no longer keep it optional, we use the option keyword to unwrap it. Example: var Monster : ?creative_prop = false Then later, perhaps if the Monster still exists, if we wanted it as non-optional: # Pretend we just did a search for game objects and found some (or none) SomeProp := option{FetchedObject} # If FetchedObject has data, we save it, otherwise this will be false if (ValidMonster := SomeProp?): #See if SomeProp has data # do something with ValidMonster
