Thank you, all, I’m glad it’s helped you

You also need to add a GameplayCues folder to your module. Also you then need to edit your GameFeatureData asset file and add a new 'Action' with the 'Add Gameplay Cue Path'. Also don't forget to set the directory for the action as by default when just added as an action it still points to your projects' GC folder, not the one you created in your module :) Otherwise the engine will complain that your GCNs have to be in the Content/GameplayCues folder or the Shooter/Topdown Modules' GameplayCues folders. Also, thanks for an excellent tutorial, however I've learnt that rather than editing Project settings' Asset Manager, you can add in the asset manager lines in your GameFeatureData asset so everything is self-contained in the module.

That was amazing, I’m new to this so now I’m going to set up as you have and get rid of all the excess stuff I’ve created trying to figure this out. Well done and thanks again for taking the time to make this tutorial.

@6:59 DEAR GOD I was trying to figure out why I was having registry issues for my game experiences. Thank you. I hope this fixes my problems

Thank you, this was *exactly* what I was looking for. Thank goodness I found this early on.

I am up and running - Thank You! ☮

This is outstanding!!! AMAZING work, a true master, thank you I HAVE DEFINITELY LIKED SUBSCRIBED AND HAD TO COMMENT PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD 👌👌👌

Very well, thank you. Instead of adding a path in the project Settings, I can suggest setting the asset scan path in the SuperGameModule data Asset file.

@@alanodonnell3955 If you wanted to do it that way then just replicate whats in the project settings, so you'd add a new 'LyraExperienceDefinition' entry and then add your directory where in the ProjectSettings you see '/Game/System/Experiences' under 'Directories'. Don't forget to restart the engine afterwards so it will read your file at startup. I have several plugins and so I like to keep all the ProjectSettings together in one place and I always have Project Settings open, but that's just personal choice if you like to configure it in the data asset go ahead.

Thank you for sharing you knowledge friend. We need more advanced youtube tutorials just like this.

This Is such a GREAT video. Great Info! thanks

Far Simpler to Open the VC solution then goto your Project Right Click, select Properties, then for each of the Compiled types (Client Debug etc), change NMAKE output name :) No need to edit a binary file altho if you rebuild the Solution, may have to correct it again, have to look into the nmake files that hold those names maybe next. Don't forget to rebuild your Dev Editor AFTER changing the NMAKE name output as well.

you are BRILLiANT mate!!!!!!!!

Well done! Thanks a lot for sharing this

I had so much trouble with the asset references errors but this finally fixed. it. But when repackaging I don't have the file you have to edit and when I load the .exe the guys are just falling with no floor to stand on.

coooooool I owe u one.

Module Plugin stays already after the first time, if you click "save all", before you restart.

the renaming executable part isn't working on my side. I renamed the .target "targetname" field and replaced the IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_LyraGame to IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_MyDesiredName and it didn't work. What am I missing?

Yes me too ,Now Can you fix it?

So can you add anything you want from your plugin like say guns and such to have them contained within the plugin so that they can all communicate with each other...I say that because plugins have one way communication with other plugins...so if our plugin depends on the ShooterCore Plugin then nothing in the ShooterCore Plugin will have access to our plugin without those save errors...at least that's my understanding.

When I do this with UE5.2 and follow your tutorial till the middle where you have created your own map and added the Lyra Player Start and changed in World Settings to the "B_ShooterGame" the game will not start as a player, I am just seeing the pawn (Ball with the cylinder). No real character or Bot gets spawned. Any Idea?

What exactly do I need to do the packaging? MS offered so many options that I'm not sure what from the pack I need to download,

When packaging the build target menu doesnt show, and then it wont package, any ideas?

Not sure if it's mentioned in the video, but the "build target" menu and the .exe packaging does require "Visual Studio Community 2019". After downloading and installing "Visual Studio Community 2019" right-click on the .uproject file and choose "Generate Visual Studio project files". Then re-open the SuperGame.uproject file in the UE Editor, and you should see the missing "build target" menu... and choosing Platform -> Windows -> Package Project should build the .exe file correctly too...

Is it possible to change the name for LyraGame within the Packaged games binarie folder?

I just broke four backups... I obviously need to do this... LMFAO dear sweet Jesus.... Lyra hates me....

Lets say I want to make a game feature plugin, that is based in lyra, but is to be used in other game. How would this work? How could I put every lyra asset I use into my pligin and then package the plugin and use it in a fresh third person template, for example?

A very good question, sorry I missed it, well you have two options, 1 you can start with Lyra and extend it replacing everything front end with your own projects needs. 2. You use Lyra as a learning resource and extract the code that answers how to do things you’re interested in. Option 1 is simple, Option2 would require C++ expertise but then if you are serious about wanting to develop in the Lyra Style of doing things you’ll need to be good at C++ and UE5 at which point it becomes pretty straight forward. The short answer is Honestly people need a good grounding before they strip this project apart. It’s a sophisticated solution, but very, very good. Good Luck!

tytytyty!!!!

Okay, so I have a question about copyright etc. If I extend Lyra, make my own music and put it in, add some new weapons, make it FPS, create a story, create some new levels, add some new animated cutscenes, and change the name from Lyra to something else, can I then sell my game on the Epic marketplace without getting sued? Are they letting people do that with Lyra? Or, is it just "learn how to do this with Lyra, but you can't use our code and our stuff in your own thing. You have to start from scratch..."?

@thehadroneffect

The simple answer is Lyra is like any other asset on the marketplace as long as you develop your project in the Unreal Engine you’ll be fine. That said Lyra is a learning resource designed as a sample game project to help you understand the frameworks of Unreal Engine 5. You’d want to extend it and make it your own or else it will just look like the demo project. Good luck!

​@@stoneageprogrammer432 I'm pretty sure you could package and release it AS IS and you would /probably/ be legally fine (just not very marketable). As long as your game is built with UE you could take any of the assets from Lyra into your own game and be fine. The unreal marketplace license is very agreeable to UE users.

Hi, I'm struggling with adding physical materials to lyra. Can you check this out? The problem. I added as usual physical material, making physical material asset, add tag in DT_Surfaces, change CFX_DefaultSkin. But it doesn't work. Lyra Context Interface is getting right material. Anim Notification works seems everything in order. But I believe tag in CFX_DefaultSkin should be registered somewhere else. And can't figure out it. Can you help, please?

That’s complicated, it took me best part of a day to implement, Lyra uses Niagara but in two parts one for impact and one for ‘dust’ etc. Then you need to replicate it for client server. It took me a while and not something I can explain here, but if you look at how they have done their concrete one in the Niagara particle object you’ll see how the surfaces types are implemented
