sht I just bought a course yesterday otherwise I woulda gone for yours, I'll be buying yours for sure after I finish the other one

it took you 36 minutes to complete this all while explaining every step. It took me 12 hours to complete this following every step. My first time using Unreal Engine and my first time creating a game. Such a great feeling. Thank you for uploading this.

In case anyone has the same issue as I had : if one of your texture changes color when it becomes a tileset (the third background became green when I made it a tileset), click on the texture then search for compression and change the compression settings to Defaut DTX1 instead of "Normalmap"

This was an extremely useful tutorial I was able to build out my own level and get my animations working properly. Thanks for the help keep it up!

Just an FYI. You can save yourself some headaches by creating a subfolder under the root content directory with a shorthand name of your project. Also, in UE5, you can drag a folder from explorer directly into Unreal and it will create that folder and import any source items (images and models).

Tutorial is great and all it is fun to watch and easy to follow, the introduction to blueprints is nice, though I wish there was more coding into it, since I want to learn how to use C++ in unreal engine

I've never thought of using UE in this way. I'm going to have some fun with this, I bet the the proper application of effects and physics can really make a 2d project stand out. I used to do a lot of pixel art so I bet I even have a lot of resources ready to go that are already mine.

This is my first project, and it was so much fun and great. Many thanks. I'm gonna add enemy and attack to it for more fun. Thanks.

Interesting. I’ve made few paltformers from scratch with just code. Now just diving into game engines. Neat to see what they have to offer.

That's really cool! I've been using Unreal for all my projects but the build size always bothers me so i stopped focusing on 2d games and only making 3d since. What about the final build size for the 2d game and its performance on regular machine. Any insights about the final build. It will be really useful if you shared it .... may be i'l try 2d again! Thanks again buddy!

That was perfect. Please show interaction buttons, picking items, UI set up with inventory, doors opening and so on... it will be very useful and clear. 2D project only. Thanks

at exactly 1:44. I paused the video to really appreciate the most straightforward video in the history of youtube. in less than 2 minutes I had an idea of how to set up a 2d scene in Unreal Engine.

Great suggestion Terry. I'll write this in my list of to-do videos.

Great tutorial, a few points I wanted to add: - As people in the comments pointed out, 3rd background tileset needs to have compression settings changed to show properly. - Movement speed should be decreased in the Character Movement component (parameter is called Max Walk Speed). - There's some bug after jumping, which stops any animation (only shows 1st frame of the flipbook), not sure if it's 5.2 issue or not.

On mine the third background Unreal made it an ugly yellow color when creating a tile set. Edit: Figured out why. The file was imported as a normalmap so I just changed the Compression Settings to UserInterface2D like the other files and then recreated the tileset and it's now how it should be. I don't know if it matters but I also had to change the Texture Group and select the sRGB checkbox.

Great video thanks. In my sprite sheet, there is a turn animation. Where would I put this to work in your BP workflow?

非常感谢！

Let me preface by saying you didn't do anything incorrect. For an actual game though you would not want to put a Delay in your character controller, and also using bools to do things like prevent jumping isn't robust enough for a full character controller, you'll want to use Enums. With an enum you can set 'attacking', 'jumping', 'crouching', 'falling', 'attacking while falling'; you can really get as complex as you want with a robust Enumeration. Then after you've created that Enum you can use a "Switch on [Name of your enum] Enum" and either connect or leave blank logic coming off of those pins. Again, this is just for those wanting to do a little more, and you didn't do anything wrong, this is a great tutorial, I just wanted to mention all that for those thinking to do more with a character

@UR_gg

Жыл бұрын

Well putting delays in blueprints that use character controlled input is wrong, lol you don't wanna do that, but it's a quick way to show how to accomplish this. Letting your blueprint loop on a .1 delay is bad, maybe you'll never notice it for this example (although i can see a slight delay when you touch the ground from the jump, which is that .1 sec delay) but imagine that logic on 100 enemies in a Risk of Rain style game, too many delays :D

interesting tutorial. I was using Unity but given how powerful is unreal and the recent misstep I was looking to learn Unreal

How would you go about allowing the player full access to horizontal movement controls while still air born? That way the player can maneuver mid-air?

25:50 it shows me more options when I search for EnhancedInputLocalPlayer Subsystem. If I dont take it from the Player Controller row I get the same just without the possiblity to connect it to any previous action...

The moment when visual scripting looks actually so much easier and comfortable in UE5 than in Scratch 😂. I am still working on my very first game in Scratch and it can be kinda challenging when you have to break your brain about every single little thing you wanna do, because the engine obviously doesn’t expect you to do such things… like a main menu for example or even worse: a pause button. It works, though. You can do pretty much everything you can think of, you just gotta figure out how to make it work and you have to do every little part of it literally from scratch. The benefit of this is that you learn a lot about the very basic principles of game development, so I’m thankful for that and it’s good having done it at least once, so that I actually understand what’s going on.

Hi Vinicius, that's a good suggestion. I've written it down and I'll see what I can do. Thanks my friend.

When My character is moving left and right, the Flipbook plays in front of everything and the IDLE flipbook is still playing in the normal field. Also when the run flipbook plays it is slightly lower that the idle flipbook. edit: The flipbook plays and stops correctly but It now displays 2 flipbooks, 1 slightly higher on the normal plane and the other slightly lower below the normal plane edit 2: I was messing around in the BP_player and discovered if I turn "Visible" under the rendering tab to false, the issue with the persisting Idle flipbook goes away. I can't for the life of me figure out why the Idle Flipbook persists. Also I realized I skipped a step in applying the 2d paper texture settings and had my alignment off for the sprites. That and the capsule adjustments fixed my positioning.

if your camera vision is too big go to player -> camera -> camera settings -> ortho widht, adjust it to your own needs!

Very good tutorial! But i have one question, when i package my 2d game all the textures are blurry, why is that so? is there a fix?

This is great! I was skeptical about using UE for 2D games, but it sounds like a decent workflow. One thing though : are there a set of predefined Blueprints for classic and omnipresent features? My goal is to replace RPG Maker. Even after all those decades, RPG Maker still has the best user interface. You have the user dataset, then you have buttons to handle events and scripts. No coding skill required at all. Is there something like this for UE?
