[@infernityhd4123]

How tf do you import the assets bruhhh show us please

[@loganfaraday1740]

there's a button in the content drawer called add, go to the top of that list and click on import. You can do that or literally just drag your assets onto your folder manually into the content drawer.

[@klaus-wd6en]

Exactly what I was looking for

[@luhacra3980]

[@thelocomoto7455]

This is a perfect way to begin learning! But I probably need more knowlege of what rescources I need.

[@dominikp.7049]

If you could consider teaching how to create a picture-in-picture scope - instead of layering a black crosshair vignette on top of the player's camera - I think that tutorial would be very well received by your community, including me :-) Anyway, looking forward to the future episodes!

[@VirtusEdu]

We've had a lot of requests for this, I'll see what we can do!

[@johndoe35717]

so I think you skipped the first part where you actually add the assets to ue5, cuz rn all I have is the ue5 fp template lol

[@EL_N0IR_2201]

nice, looks like a good place too start. And its affordable another great thing.

[@Oscarmike247]

So how exactly do I use the assets that I downloaded in the project? do I create a new black project, then drop the files in? do I create an FPS template project? Sorry but this part isn't clear. On my end I'm unable to access the downloaded project as I see in the video

[@leeinokojin]

[@LambVisionStudios]

I purchased the course and by the end of it theres alot of questions. My ai are saying it has to have simulate physics enabled to have correct line tracing and shooting for the impulse point. But when i activate simulate gravity my character just falls over. Also the enemies arent doing damage to me when shooting me. Is there something i missed ? Also not alot about ai vision and being visible to them which i feel is crucial

Hey, I saw your comment on the other video ! Nice you started this one ! Is it really only focused for UE5 tho ?

It is indeed focused on Unreal Engine 5, every video you will see uses Unreal Engine 5 as that is the latest version of the game engine.

[@Gen3Hater]

"the very first thing that we need to do is going to the viewport", only that the starting screen does not look like that at all and there is no viewport window. great teaching skills you have there buddy. keep it.

Go to Window > Load Layout > UE4 Default Layout. You should get the viewport back there

Would this still work even if i'm using a Thirdperson character but have the camera in the first person view?

[@2009142]

Or course! There may be some minor things you need to change, but those would be like 5min fixes if any :)

[@VirtusEdu]

You sure can, you'll just need need to make sure you've got your camera lined up currently as part of this video and you'll be good to go! Was there a particular reason you're using a third person camera? Traditionally in FPS games people use both a first person arms mesh and a third person camera. The first person arms being what the player can see and the third person character being what other people see when in multiplayer. I hope that makes sense!

[@darkwolf780]

@@VirtusEdu Sorry for the delayed reply I got busy irl, I'm using a third person project due to wanting the player to see their whole body sorta like in battlefield where you can see your body in a first person view, so basically for realism 😂. what you said does make sense.

Know why I would not buy this course or any like it based on this video? Because you do not show a finished product, what we can expect to have at the end of it. Just you talking about what you THINK we will get out of it. Try showing a demo scene with the mechanics and features you are talking about (the quick snippet of the rifle is not enough). Actually running, aiming shooting, interacting, inventory. This video is just of you talking.
