I can't thank you enough for this video, and I can't tell you how happy I was when you clicked on "Blank Project". Every damn Unreal C++ tutorial starts with a third person controller and introduces so much complexity right away, that nothing structural ever gets explained. It's great to strip it all down, and have an actual foundation of knowledge to build off of.
If you're working in ue5.3 or higher I believe it doesn't show a base game mode in visual studio automatically, so go to the tools tab in ue and click new c++ class (game mode base) name it and then it should load visual studio (may ask you to reload).
I also found out that in order to attach a camera to the pawn you need a root component, //Create New Components RootComponent = CreateDefaultSubobject(TEXT("Root")); Camera = CreateDefaultSubobject(TEXT("Camera")); Camera->AttachToComponent(RootComponent, FAttachmentTransformRules::KeepRelativeTransform);
@@god_ozai828 Thanks ! it allows to attach the components to the pawn. But if we want to use the enhancedInputSystem we have to use a character class, and then this gives an error while compiling. Do we have to attach the components in the blueprint by hand or is there a C++ solution ?
This is the only tutorial that actually clicked with me, every other tutorial nobody explains what anything does and expects us to know what it does even though the video states its for "beginners"
If they do that, how will you know that they have a 4K monitor? That's really important for us to know! Not UE5 pfft. I'm here for the 4k monitor content
Legend has it, this guy is still making the next episode! hehehe, seriously, I am waiting for the next episode :) This video was very nice and really de-tangled UE5 for me (a c++ vet but new to ue5)
Thanks for the Comment! Since UE5 is out now and I got the IntelliSense issue fixes (... well bought Visual Assists) the next videos will be out soon. It will be more Tutorial like but also start again with the basics. This video here was more or less just me being curious how to program for UE while recording it :-)
As of 5.3 the changes I had to make to follow this tutorial were, I had to make a new game mode base class, and I had to remove some landscape and create an appropriately sized floor myself. The names of a few parameters have changed in the engine but it's obvious prima facie which they are. In short, good tutorial, still in date. :)
If anyone wondering, the easiest way to remove landscape and recreate the floor scene from video is to click 'CTRL + N' and select 'Basic'. It will create almost identical set-up as in video without wasting time.
40:33 holy crap that little side tidbit about dynamically initialized actors probably saved me a whole day of headaches I'm so glad I caught it, thank you.
Thank you, I spent hours reading docs, could not really understand the structure of everything, this video explained everything in a way that made sense!
I will spread ur good work to everyone ik, May the pillow u sleep with everynight is cold. May when u ever work on the game u never experience compiling error
Thank you for leaving in your pain at 1:16:55... we're all there at some point - thank you for making this tutorial, it's been very helpful as i step into C++ from the world of blueprint
Great tutorial vid but the problem is that the resolution of this video is too high for FHD 1920*1080 laptop user like me. But still one of the best tutorial for c++ unreal
if you have a 4k or 8k resolution monitor, its fun since I also have a 4k monitor but would you set the scale and layout settings (change the size of text, apps, and other items to at least 150% or 125% but not 100%)................... man I feel like plucking out my eyes
What If I created blank project and dont have the file you show at 6:22 TutorialGameModeBase.h and TutorialGameModeBase.cpp ? I am on unreal engine 5.3.2
This is going great already and l'll be happy to follow this playlist now. The only thing though is that the actors were created manually here, not with code in runtime as l expected.
Thank you for the great tutorial. It was really helpful. To improve the quality of your videos, beside increasing scale of the screen, it would be better to not randomly move the camera in the scene when it's not necessary. :)) For example at 11:34 It gave me a bit motion sickness.
Please go and watch the videos in this series: th-cam.com/video/g9dU0eCy8RI/w-d-xo.html Starting with video 2 (where the important stuff begins) The Engine and the code will be zoomed in. The series will cover everything shown in this video + explain it in more details.
52:50 I have a camera component root connecting to a camera component, and that just throws up a warning, no red flags root component cannot be attached to other components in the same actor. Aborting.
So I added up to the pawn class and the proyect does not want to be built, it shows 10,926 error and I dont know why, I have it exactly how you have it and it does not want to lunch from the engine either. Help please, I want to start playing with game divelopment because my major in in computer science engineering and I want to practice.
Great content but the resolution is too damn small. Might I suggest zooming in or using a lower resolution when recording? I spent half the time squinting trying to read fonts
Intellisense is not usefull at all when you work with Unreal Engine projects. It's just not able to cape with the size of the engine. I would recomment to use Visual Assist. It's specificly designed to handle UE
Hi, I'm struggling with an issue when I want to edit the Static mesh root component. It's said that "Native components are editable when declared as Fproperty in C++". I've skrimed forums but didn't found any working solutions.
Nice video! I am having trouble following because when I try to build in Visual Studios I constantly get an error that I can't build without live coding but I click alt+ctrl+f11 and it boots up saying I got it working but still it says it's not working. Would you know why this error is happening? Also I can build it without EU5 open then reopen to see the changes but it's really time consuming and disheartening to start this side project.
There is currently some realy odd stuff going on with C++ and UE5... My new tutorial project is loosing all code (+ related object links in actors, the level, ...) every time I restart the editor. It will only reconise the code again after recompiling. The UE5 Early Access was way more stable then the official stable release lol. Here is how you can currently get this working without issues: 1. Open your C++ visual studio project 2. Make sure the Unreal Engine is closed 3. Switch the visual studio configuration to "Development Editor" 4. Start debugging from visual studio 5. When changing the code use the button "Recompile and reload C++ ..." on the bottom right of the engine or the ALT+CTRL-F11 shortcut in the editor.
@@LötwigFusel Thank you that really helped! The only issue that I face is that compiling my code doesn't change blueprints even when I compile them in the BP editor. I don't mind restarting if I have to do some small changings to blueprints so this was a great step up. Thank you for putting me on a good path to learn how to code in unreal!
@@LötwigFusel I lost you at: 3. Switch the visual studio configuration to "Development Editor" Where do i do this? and in which program and menu, do you have some context?
@@companyreviews294 in visual studio, at the top just left of the debug button (the green play button) there is a dropdown box to choose the configuration
@@LötwigFusel "5. When changing the code use the button "Recompile and reload C++ ..." on the bottom right of the engine or the ALT+CTRL-F11 shortcut in the editor." You're talking about UE Editor, right ? Because I just switched to UE Editor window (and left VS IDE running) and hit ALT+CTRL-F11 and it worked like miracle :-) (I'm using UE 5.0.1.)
I'm having this issue where when I build my code, ue5 doesn't take those changes instantly like it does for you. Instead I have to close ue5 and open it up again after building. How did you get yours to operate like that? It's such a pain on my end.
is this only for people who already know Cpp or can I expect to understand and learn Cpp with just a beginner understanding of blueprint visual scripting?
When importing the blue box, I left it scaled to default (1) and not 100 as per author. Scaling it to 100 makes the box so large that you dont see it and your entire world Floor turns blue. Im using 5.2.1
Great video, only complaint is that you should have adjusted the scale of your editor for the video so the text was easier to read. (ctrl + shift+ w on windows for anyone curious)
when I make the camera it builds the camera just never shows up and I can't move anything around I'm using UE 5.0.3 the build never says it suceeds and I can cancel the build anytime I want, I tried turning off live coding and nothing works from this point. I can make the class but adding anything to the class in visual studio virtually doesn't transfer over because build hangs it just says "ready"
As soon as adding the UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere) to the member and recompiling it should work. Please note that the official ue5 release uses „live coding“ instead of the plain visual studio recompile.
trying to get into game development with UE5 and so much changes constantly that no matter how decent a tutorial is even months old its no longer up to date and I have to spend hours solving one issue from bricking the whole thing up. I'm beginning to think that Epic doesn't want people to learn this engine, and just wants us frustrated so we keep playing fortnight for the dopamine hit or whatever.
Thanks mate, one thing i didnt understand is, how you can compile from IDE when the editor is open? Is your live coding enabled? If so, I have the error of "Unable to build while Live coing is active" when try to compile from IDE. Well, when i disable live coding, i have to close the editor to compile it. How you are doing it actually? I am unity developer and started to learn UE5. Having this problem is quite counter-intuitive for me.
When this video was filmed UE5 was still in the beta. They changed many things for the real release. You need to start the editor form VS but not by selection the default Debug button. You need to start it with "Start without Debugging" (or something similar). Then you can recompile the code from VS and it should reload in UE. You can also disable livecoding (but also start without debugging) and click the recompile button in VS (somewhere at the bottom left). Maybe you want to checkout my other UE5 Tutorial series. Its in general better produced and more recent: th-cam.com/video/g9dU0eCy8RI/w-d-xo.html
so i accidently compiled UE5 code instead of UE4 but gotta thank you brother for making this video All the UE4 C++ tutorials i watched are so fucking comlpex cause they use templates and adds so much complexity to it adn they dont even explain what it does but this one actually teaches you
Thanks for making this, really useful. This is my second tutorial and based on my previous tutorial knowledge I was already able to deduce to add GetRightVector in movement input so the GameCharacters Left movement would be independent of map's axis: ... const FVector LeftVector = Camera->GetRightVector()*-1; NewLocation += LeftVector*movementDelta*MovementSpeed; ... I believe a future refactor would require me to swap and rename MoveLR to MoveRL input names and swap opposite 1 and -1 values respectively (I.e. make Right = 1) as there is no reason to have Left movement as 1 and then using GetRightVector times negative.
Hey thanks.......... I am more used to VS code for my work. But c++ intellsense works terrible when using vscode for UE game developemnt . I dont want to switch to studio . Any tips and tricks ?
It’s even terrible in studio. Unreal is just a very very big software. You need a tool specifically build for handling such big projects. Like visual assist or the InteliJ thing.
Hi, I'm trying this tutorial on UE5.0.3 and I get tons of error Visual Studios doesn't allow me to even build or rebuild the code because there some weird .dll file that the program wants to somehow delete lol
The video was done with the beta of UE5. Currently you need to compile your application in the editor directly. There is a live coding button that will trigger a rebuild. The errors in VS are probably because VS can‘t handle the size of Unreal.
i started you tutorial but have a probem. for some reason defaultPawnClass doesnt work. i tried turning on/off live coding, reinstalled visual studio, but i cant change default pawn, it doesnt effect game at all
Either is good. I personally prefer visual studio because is the one that I started with and I'm used to it, but it really doesn't matter witch one you use. Both work well. No wrong choice here.
Sorry but I cant force TH-cam to gennerate them... Sadly youtube sometimes processes my videos as german videos even everything is set to english. TH-cam also does not allow me to rerun the automatic subtile generation on deman or by changing the language.
So I have an issue. Im taking a C++ course with Unreal and im having some technical hiccups. Maybe I installed both Visual Studio and Unreal wrong. I go to open a blank project in Unreal but it doesnt open Visual Studio at the same time.
So Im following along in Unreal engine 5.0.3 and at the part where we change the default pawn to AGameCharacter it Builds sucessfully but when I click the menu in unreal engine it still has the default pawn as the pawn default. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I followed and everything perfectly and double checked
@@LötwigFusel yeah I also switched from vs 2022 to 2019 and also uninstalled the c++ packages and .net framework and tried reinstalling them, I just decided to try a different engine until epic can get those issues ironed out
Hi, really good tutorial so far, but Im facing an issue while setting the camera pawn, i get this error after compiling Tutorial : "class AActor has no member SetupPlayerComponent". Do you have any idea how to fix it ?
Does anyone know why I always get "unable to build while live coding is active. Exit the editor and game, or press ctrl!alt f11 if the iterating on code in the editor or game." error? Is there a way to turn off live coding?
Yes it is at the bottom right of the editor. Also try out my new UE5 tutorial. They have change many things since early access (including this live coding issue)

can anyone hit me up about how they even make unreal engine in the first place? Like how do they make this even possible to code and use assets they have? its so complex to me.
It's a grown system. It started as a "small" project just for thier own game. However it has grown over time. They are having many developers working full time on that engine, every one only focusing on a small subsystem.

Hey thanks.......... I am more used to VS code for my work. But c++ intellsense works terrible when using vscode for UE game developemnt . I dont want to switch to studio .
Any tips and tricks ?
It’s even terrible in studio. Unreal is just a very very big software. You need a tool specifically build for handling such big projects. Like visual assist or the InteliJ thing.
Can you tell me how do you work with open UE and VS together?? because it gives me a build error.
When you start without Debugging is should be possible to build the UE project (just CTRL + B) and the engine should autoload it without issue.
You need to increase the size of menu elements for the next tutorial, it is impossible to read them. Otherwise, really great video!
Thank you. I appreciate a font a lot of bigger. Good videos
can i use visual studio 2022 community?
Yes
@@LötwigFuselthank you i love you
You have no idea how grateful I am for tNice tutorials series
Hi,
I'm trying this tutorial on UE5.0.3 and I get tons of error
Visual Studios doesn't allow me to even build or rebuild the code because there some weird .dll file that the program wants to somehow delete lol
The video was done with the beta of UE5. Currently you need to compile your application in the editor directly. There is a live coding button that will trigger a rebuild. The errors in VS are probably because VS can‘t handle the size of Unreal.
bro my project is not blank i don't know why but i'm surely pressed the blank project button but it's comes with trails and these stuff
It’s never really blank when it comes to unreal engine. The Beta release was a bit different
Good video, but the UI is soo small its hard to see.
i started you tutorial but have a probem. for some reason defaultPawnClass doesnt work. i tried turning on/off live coding, reinstalled visual studio, but i cant change default pawn, it doesnt effect game at all
naw, im an idiot. i fixed it
@@Noone-we9vb Can you please share the solution?
NVM I'm an idiot too, I wrote: DefaultPawnClass = AGameCharacter::StaticClass; instead of DefaultPawnClass = AGameCharacter::StaticClass();
As a beginner which IDE is good visual studio or Vs code , i am a beginner and if this is a silly question plz answer it
Either is good. I personally prefer visual studio because is the one that I started with and I'm used to it, but it really doesn't matter witch one you use. Both work well. No wrong choice here.
@@gaelfernandez6378 alright thx for help
I'd like to watch this tutorial but there is only auto-generated German subtitles, is there any way to set TH-cam to generate English subtitles?
Sorry but I cant force TH-cam to gennerate them... Sadly youtube sometimes processes my videos as german videos even everything is set to english. TH-cam also does not allow me to rerun the automatic subtile generation on deman or by changing the language.
So I have an issue. Im taking a C++ course with Unreal and im having some technical hiccups. Maybe I installed both Visual Studio and Unreal wrong. I go to open a blank project in Unreal but it doesnt open Visual Studio at the same time.
Try to open the gennerate solution file manually. Located in the directory of the UE5 project.
So Im following along in Unreal engine 5.0.3 and at the part where we change the default pawn to AGameCharacter it Builds sucessfully but when I click the menu in unreal engine it still has the default pawn as the pawn default. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I followed and everything perfectly and double checked
Have you tried to fully restart the Editor and do a full rebuild with VS?
@@LötwigFusel yeah I also switched from vs 2022 to 2019 and also uninstalled the c++ packages and .net framework and tried reinstalling them, I just decided to try a different engine until epic can get those issues ironed out
I also have the same issue
@@Anquilis yeah it sucks
Hi, really good tutorial so far, but Im facing an issue while setting the camera pawn, i get this error after compiling Tutorial : "class AActor has no member SetupPlayerComponent". Do you have any idea how to fix it ?
Check if your includes are in the right order. cpp files should corresponding .h as the first include.
Does anyone know why I always get "unable to build while live coding is active. Exit the editor and game, or press ctrl!alt f11 if the iterating on code in the editor or game." error? Is there a way to turn off live coding?
Yes it is at the bottom right of the editor. Also try out my new UE5 tutorial. They have change many things since early access (including this live coding issue)

OMG, it really worked. Thank you so much!!
good vid for those with coding knowledge
can anyone hit me up about how they even make unreal engine in the first place? Like how do they make this even possible to code and use assets they have? its so complex to me.
It's a grown system. It started as a "small" project just for thier own game. However it has grown over time. They are having many developers working full time on that engine, every one only focusing on a small subsystem.
It's a really good tutorial but it's very hard to read in 1080p
Maybe you want to tryout the „new“ ue5 series on my Chanel. It’s easier to read and better explained.
I feel pain in my eyes. I think I need to see a Doctor.
FYI. 5:50 Im watching on a 70” and I cant read the file tree on the right. Lol.
Awesome tutorial.
Small tip for future tutorials: pointless movement of camera around the scene while you talk is distracting from what you're saying.
Now, you got a new subs.. from me ❤. Thanks you for this couse.
I am from full stack dev. very interesting in game developing...
