Tips for Quickly Prototyping | Inside Unreal

With the Epic MegaJam just around the corner, this week we wanted to focus on the groundwork - how to prototype quickly so you can get to the detail work faster. Time is of the essence when it comes to jam events and to make you feel better prepared we're bringing on Chris Murphy to discuss some tips and tricks on smashing through the busy work and effectively maximizing time spent in engine!

Chris always has the best tips - small things that make huge differences!

We don't deserve Chris, he's an absolute powerhouse of informantion. just 20 minutes in and I'm learning there's Jump Max and Jump Max Hold Time parameters in the default character. I've used this engine for 8 years what the faaaaaaaaa****.

Please make more videos with Chris! Love this guy!!!

Truly an epic presentation, which is as always easily expected from a legend like Chris Murphy. Murphy and Parrish's tutorials/streams are a must-watch and without any doubt better than any course. I am really gutted that I missed watching it live.

I remember Chris, he gave a great talk about things in UE5 people don't know about. And I just noticed that sub of UE has passed 1M. Good job.

Chris is a such a lovely guy, hope to see him more on this channel! Thx for this stream!!!

Seems everybody want to make production level 👍 No comments only views. Clean 😁

[@mikelkram]

**Here are the steps to make blueprint variables show in the level editor details panel in Unreal Engine:** **1. Open the Blueprint Editor:** - Navigate to the Blueprint you want to modify. - Double-click it to open it in the Blueprint Editor. **2. Create or Select Variables:** - If you haven't already, create the variables you want to expose using the "Variables" tab. - Select the variables you want to make visible in the details panel. **3. Enable "Instance Editable":** - In the Details panel of the Blueprint Editor, locate the "Instance Editable" checkbox for each variable. - Tick the checkbox to make the variable editable within instances of the Blueprint in the level editor. **4. (Optional) Organize with Categories:** - To group variables for better organization, create categories in the Blueprint Editor's "My Blueprint" panel. - Drag and drop variables into these categories to structure them in the details panel. **5. Compile and Save:** - Compile the Blueprint using the "Compile" button. - Save the Blueprint using the "Save" button. **6. Access Variables in the Level Editor:** - Navigate to the level where you have instances of the Blueprint placed. - Select an instance of the Blueprint in the viewport. - The exposed variables will now be visible and editable in the Details panel, allowing you to adjust their values directly within the level editor. **Key Points:** - **Instance-Specific Changes:** Modifications made in the details panel only affect the selected instance, not the base Blueprint. - **Readability and Organization:** Use categories to enhance variable organization and findability. - **Customizability:** Expose variables to enable fine-tuning of Blueprint behavior within the level editor, streamlining your workflow.

'suggest projectile velocity' was one of the original World War 2 cybernetics development projects. this led to the whole field, MIT Norbert Weiner research & so on . full circle 1:03:00

intensely useful info

[@chrystianzer0]

20:00 the problem that I always have with the default Jump Max Count is how to reset change the Jump Count during gameplay, like allowing again the double jump after a wall slide.

[@RickHenderson]

Where can I find info about split screen? Is it exposed to Blueprints? All I can find are UE 4.x references and the C++ documentation.

Amazing that Unreal is free and source available

[@bravenstein9442]

Unreal is not open source

[@eduardotoscano8916]

And only is free as in "gratis", not as in "libre", although their business model is very good and beneficial to a lot of people.

[@chakibchemso]

It's not "open source" it is "source available" software. But their business model is fairly good for a big commercial game engine like this!

[@ethancodes7134]

26:02 how many here are old enough to get this reference? lol.

Guys, you are the leading engine, a corporation, and a channel with a million subscribers. PLEASE, get your sh*t together and look into more accessible formats. Transcripts (non-auto-generated). Timestamps. Videos that are digestible size and friendly for those of us with lower attention / free time. Because dumping 2 hours of info, just like that, is not good. And this has been happening for years now - why? Are you doing this out of spite? Too proud to take notes or learn from pretty much any other podcast/channel on KZbin? It's really sad because the guests are fantastic, but this format of dumping 1-2 hour long videos is terrible. Please consider alternatives.
