Hey! I have a discord server that you can join and I’d be happy to help you, just DM me (BillyTee) on discord! I started a new job recently and haven’t had much time, so if I don’t respond, the Unreal Source discord server (can be found on google, sorry I’m on my phone) is very helpful as well!

The content in this video is a general usage of data tables (with CSV importing from excel or google sheets) So it could definitely be helpful for what you are trying to do. But you will definitely need a programmer to set up the system for you

Glad you enjoyed it! It’s final exam time at school so I’ll be a bit busy, but I plan to release the next episode in early December !

I’ve never in my life thought about how I pronounced that word until now haha

Love to hear it! I’ve been a little behind on uploading but I’ll be back to it very soon :) I’m currently in school and it’s been midterm time for the past week and it’s still going on haha

Yes, this is 100% possible! I’ve been busy lately with school, but if you join my discord, I’d be glad to walk you through how to do that when I have time :)

Wow! That would be fantastic! I will join today :D @@FortunaInteractive

@@anaboliczyakrobata1909 sounds great! As I said, I’ve been busy with school, but I will try my best to help you out when I have time :)

Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been using the same background music in every video and I was unsure if it was distracting or not I’ve received comments saying they liked it and some people saying they didn’t so I really wasn’t sure I’ll make sure to fix it in the next upload (editing now actually) Would you say I should remove the music altogether? Or just make it quieter?

@@FortunaInteractive Thanks for your reply. I think removing it will be better. if anyone wants to play any kind of music he can do it while watching this tutorial. but I prefer to hear you clearly rather than listen to the music.

@@Fadiabuzant sounds good! I’ll try the next upload with no music

@@FortunaInteractive Thank you 🙏🏻

Yeah haha I realized that shortly after making the thumbnail I changed the title of the series after I made this video and just decided to keep it. This video is meant to act as an intro to the future data table related videos anyway

The example in this video was very basic Data Tables allow you to create lists of structs with different settings (for example, you could store all items within an inventory system in a data table) and then pull the item info as needed. I currently use data tables for most of my systems, because they also allow you to quickly change the value of the variables within a struct very easily and then those values are changed across any and all blueprints that reference them

@@FortunaInteractive Ngl, I have this exact problem now where I made a very basic prototype, made some progress, and now I've realised I'm probably going to have to go back and add a bunch of data tables because working with structs directly inside each actor is becoming messy 😅 Better late than never, though, right? XD

@@robertbeniko66 it means we are learning haha, here the same thing

@@AlexTLOUI just wish Data Tables were instance editable instead of needing to update the Struct, then we the table. I was looking into integrating an SQL database instead, but that's a bit beyond me at the moment 😅

@@robertbeniko66 wait, but there is a node to do that, you need to put the row name in and then you can update the struct of the row, so it's pretty good

Feel free to join our discord (link in description) and I’d be glad to help you out!

Thanks for the tip! I actually had no idea that was a thing

I started working on my first game, ReTerra, about 2 years ago and that’s the only major project I’m currently working on We have some livestreams planned, but I’d be happy to livestream the development sooner if people would want to watch!

@@FortunaInteractive If you do, that would be great! Would love to see you're work flow and maybe ask some questions along the way as to why you're doing certain things within the process of working on your project as well as the potential outcome of what you are wanting out of it.

@@luvluvdoc I will soon! If you join our discord (link in description), I will announce it there

Thanks for the comment! Data tables (as far as I know) are used purely client side and don’t have any kind of SQL integration available SQL integration is 100% possible though and uses a similar system to grab data as we used in this video to grab data from a data table If you still want to know more, feel free to join my discord server and I can send you some links to SQL tutorials that I’ve found in the past

Hey there! Thanks for purchasing the asset! I will be completely honest. This asset didn't perform as well as I had hoped at launch (it has since performed quite well however), and school was starting to get really serious, so I held the extra tutorials for this assets on the backburner. If I may ask though, what tutorials would you specifically like to see? I will upload them as you need them, and can also provide support via discord as needed :D

@FortunaInteractive Hello, thank you for the reply. Sorry if I came off as a bit rude, I was tired when I wrote that comment. A tutorial for how to add your own extra graphics settings would be good. I can add the toggles to the menu, and hook the proper functions, but I cant get the apply to work. Im trying to add settings to enable dlss, and frame gen, also maybe only enable certain settings if the user has the proper hardware. I am also a member of the discord as well. Thanks.

You're all good! I have a busy school week but I will make a video on that soon! Or feel free to send me a DM on discord (BillyTee in the Server) and I will walk you through how to do it :D@@nicholassmith2838

@FortunaInteractive thanks for the reply. I will send you a DM in the discord, a video would be helpful as well, and probably to other people, but I understand that takes time and your busy. I appreciate your willingness to help.

@@FortunaInteractive Hi did you produce anymore tutorials for this?

I plan to start consistently uploading on a schedule starting next week I’m currently in college and have a big test coming up so I’m going to focus on studying for that for now haha But starting next Monday, I plan to release 1 episode of the Complete series every Thursday, and 2-3 general short tutorials weekly along with that

@@FortunaInteractive Your dedication just became even more appreciated. Good luck on your exam, buddy. The schedule sounds great. If you post to often I won't get anything else done either haha. But I'll blow some more smoke your way and say that the way you speak and explain things is very pleasant to listen to and easy follow and understand. I have a strong suspicion this will become one of the best and most in-depth series available, paid or free. I'm in this for the long haul! Keep up the good work and take care.

Thank you so much! It means a lot <3 I'm going to do my best to balance my upload schedule with my school schedule, but I believe I will be able to get 3 videos a week uploaded, with some exclusions if I have a major test to study for or something. Announcements about upload delays will be posted on my discord and patreon whenever I have things get in the way @@RandyBuck11

I wanted to share - I watched this tutorial and then tried to replicate it without watching the video again. I was successful! This is the first time I was able to replicate something without strictly following a step-by-step process the whole time. I am so pumped!

So, functions are a part of most programming languages (in some languages, they are known as "methods") In terms of Unreal Engine, a function is a node graph that belongs to a particular Blueprint and can be executed or called from anywhere within that blueprint. So, functions are not "sub-blueprints" but moreso (in the most simple terms) a more organized and compact way to execute code within your graph, which also allows for the code within a function to be called multiple times wherever you want For example, the hide mesh function that we created in this video, you can call that multiple times without having to copy the code to hide a mesh all over the place. We even did that in the video, you call the function when you make the platform despawn, and you call it again to make the platform respawn I hope that answers your question!

@@FortunaInteractive thank you so much for the detailed response! That helps a lot. :)

Also, I just saw that you became our very first Patreon! Thank you so much for the support, I actually almost cried when I saw that we had our very first Patreon haha, I didn't expect to get any at all to be honest I will have the benefits all set up by tonight for you and will set up the credits page in the next video! Thank you so much <3

@@FortunaInteractive no problem! I never really use Patreon - but you are really filling a gap in the UE tutorial market and I want to support that. 😊

I’m glad you found it useful! The next episode will be uploaded within the next 6 hours, and will be going over creating your first blueprint, along with some tips and tricks related to blueprint creation :)

@@FortunaInteractive awesome!!! I can’t wait 😁

@@Leh_Mohn Slight Delay on that upload! I am going to spend a bit more time editing this one and add some more graphics and things on screen So, the video will still be uploaded tonight, but may be a little bit later than I initially planned. Just wanted to let you know :D

@@FortunaInteractive I noticed on the new video that you were recording at 3am. Holy moly! Don't work too hard. :))

More to come soon!

I would love to see a tutorial on how to use data tables with for each loops. I am getting only the first element, but 5 times!! It is proper annoying... everywhere i check, people are getting an iteration of the contents of their data table! Not me...

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad to hear!

Have you looked into the unreal grants? You may qualify for them making this series! Don’t worry about not getting thousands of views right away just keep building and the views will come!

This is the way of teaching!

Glad it was helpful! Our first 2 episodes are uploaded now and i am currently working on the next one <3
