Learning to Make Games with UE4 and Action RPG | GDC 2019 | Unreal Engine

[@reaktorleak89]

I second that, more RPG System tutorials. I didn't realize how powerful Unreal was!

[@Liaret]

Awesome! When working on our own ability/skill system in 4.16, there were no docs and no info about Gameplay Abilities system, so I had to write the system from scratch. Great that now there's a native API for this :)

[@calmsh0t]

I still wish you guys would offer the same detail of documentation for your built in C++ fuctionalities as you do for your blueprints. It can get very tiresome to dig in the source code the whole time, unfolding a tree of functions to fully understand a certain part of your engine. I think Unity does a great job here....

[@Liaret]

Agreed, UE4 is bad at this so far. I had to dig tons of source code to write a custom in-engine Talent Tree editor, which could have been covered by a couple of documentation pages on Slate and EdGraph.

[@conFIGuredAPK]

@@Liaret What about posting what you did to save the rest of us all the time you spent? :)

[@Liaret]

@@conFIGuredAPK Oh I will, I'm planning to do the tutorial series or at least couple articles on the talent tree editor. It's a lot of boilerplate cpp code, and due to NDA I can't post the code straight away. But feel free 2 DM me with questions, until the tutorials/articles are posted.

@@Liaret man you're an awesome tutor, please keep doing what you do!

[@argosbrave6415]

​@@TCMabe You realize the vast majority of that documentation is Blueprint focused right... You're on your own for the cpp and systems the blueprints are built on top of...

[@MGSBigBoss77]

Always something to learn and relearn, thanks to Epic's; Unreal Engine 4! And ya gotta love their professionally presented tutorials and convention theater presentations like this!

[@wirago3246]

Would be awesome to have a base RPG project in the Unreal Learning portal to be able to create a solid basis for RPG games from scratch :)

[@DeltaNovum]

Next time someone asks me, why they should try/use UE4 as their engine of choice as compared to other engines, this will be one of the videos I will link to. Instead of trying to explain the many reasons I can think of.

[@GMOTP5738]

How about people just use whatever engine they want to use 🤷‍♂️

[@DeltaNovum]

@@GMOTP5738 If someone asks me why they should try/use Unity or Godot for example I have links and reasons for them too. In most use cases I tend to recommend UE4 though, but of course it's up to the user/dev themselves.

[@calmsh0t]

I think it really depends. But honestly, if you want to be serious and get the most robust and feature heavy tool you can get for free, I feel like there is no better solution than UE4. This doesn't mean that Unity, Godot, Cocos and co. don't have their usecases and advantages as well.

[@SuperMontana2008]

More tutorials for rpg system please.

[@vermilionssj9081]

@Terry Rene dont try it's Fake

[@Liaret]

The explanation for Live++ seems a little misleading. The speaker mentions that you would have to do a full engine recompile without it, but when you work on your game and not the engine - you don't touch the engine code, you only modify and recompile your game modules. Which takes dozens of seconds for a medium-sized project (I'm still on 4.19 so can't speak for newer builds).

[@aungkhant502]

No more C++ documentation and tutorials? There are loads of engine components without a single line of documentation. Life is really hard when there is no proper support for documentation.

[@raymondstpaul4913]

Heck no one will even tell me what information & software I need to learn C++ can you please give me some advise?

[@aungkhant502]

@@raymondstpaul4913 No one tells you about that, because what you are asking is very basic which you can easily get from a simple Google search.

[@raymondstpaul4913]

@@aungkhant502 Um if it were that simple I'd not be asking on KZbin for advise.

[@mgg4142]

@@raymondstpaul4913 there's no really useful lesson besides syntax. You have to have a certain logic, from simple swaps and sorting to more complex algorithms. If you're new to programming I would suggest a Matlab course and a c++ syntax book with exercises (preferably those without immediately accessible solutions), but some people can't see things quickly and the biggest disservice you can give yourself is immediately googling a solution. In short, train your logic, bash your head against the wall and it will pay off.

Is there a way to add a second player? Greetings

[@dantegamedev]

how to add new characters and enemys??

[@downupblockinc1380]

what i don't like about unreal is that any tutorial I watch parts of my interface are not matching up to the tutorial and there is never any explanation as to why or how to get them , i wish there was a universal UE UI. like the green box in the modifiers tab to see this curve table does not exist, also when i add an element under game play effects i am not able to see and triangle to the left that upon clicking would drop down any options, so at this point i can no longer follow to the tutorial , very disheartening.

[@PerFeldvoss]

... or you could make a link to the C++ file from the UE4 editor - why would you need to know where that is? But can't I simply make a child of the potion-class (for Potion_GDC_Potion) and add some extra features/variables on the child? Say I may want to play other montages (when my health is very low, or whatever) so - this can be added without going to to C++

[@MrSmith01]

Example apk of this RPG lags so badly! (downloaded it from googleplay)

*Thanks*

[@JeffRigler33]

Awesome.

[@argosbrave6415]

I find it hilarious that he keeps saying "it's as simple as that" during this video... and showing by far the least complicated piece of code that drives this... This implementation of the Gameplay Ability System is FAR from an out-of-the-box experience! So much of this behavior is driven by code and yet the documentation & tutorials & showcases like this are all focused on the subsequent blueprints & designer experience... It's a shame Epic does very little to explain the actual systems.

[@MyMMTop10Music]

Since we cant share the fortnite source with you... yall ready know those little kids be on their knees begging for it

More. Video please .

Five W's? Who What Where Why When? How? --What are they?

[@MeizanoArdhiMuhammad]

Maybe this is the answer www.theescapist.com/5ws.htm

[@MeizanoArdhiMuhammad]

I guess not, after listening to it again Five W's of "THE ACTION RPG GAME" is more appropriate.

[@FervorGaming]

arpg's isn't the same thing as rpg's with action in it. why does unreal not get this

The engine is for free along with 1000's of dollars cool assets yet . The engine is not stable on Linux buggy and if it was not for the community it would be dead

[@sws7749]

Linux it self is not stable as desktop lul

@@sws7749 am sorry what ?

[@bra5081]

@@sws7749 If Linux is not stable, I wonder what is.

[@lainarte]

@@sws7749 linux is more stable than windows, but windows is more popular. Hence UE4 is optimized for Windows.
