How do you even memorize the names of every action for what you need? I think there are way too many on this video for a beginner to remember everything.
At 1:03:05, if you add the node in the target, you will be able to open the door from anywhere on the level. To fix that, you can add it on the player controller to only allow the actor to open it from inside the collider

Many thanks. This was so helpful to get a starting point with a lot of valuable and well balanced insights. I'm looking forward to other courses like the two beginner courses.
@1:12:26 A better option would be to plug these into just "play" and "reverse". This is so if you press the key again mid animation, the door doesn't snap to the beginning or end in an unnatural way before playing.

Hey Poly! While making your door blueprint I noticed that the End Overlap event does not actually work because when your character leaves the box he can still activate it from a distance! The issue was that the Get Player Controller node had to be connected to the Disable Input PLAYER CONTROLLER node and not the Target node! Just wanted to clarify. Great tutorial!

Great!, thought i've made a mistake somewhere for a sec.
Thanks for your tutorial - love it! There is a bug in the door script though. At 1:03 you plug the GetPlayer Controller into Disable Input with Target. This results in the character being able to open and close outside the box as if she never left it - which she didn't. You need to plug it into the Player Controller, and I'm sure that's what you meant 🙂

i was also confused. Unreal engine is quite diffrent from what im used with. Unity
Just finished the tutorial and I love it. I was tired of doing tutorials that only shoow you how to use blueprints to make a specific type of game. This was just how to use blueprints as a whole and I loved it.
ive spent hours in the last days watching ue5 tutorials and basics because me and a few friends want to make a game and i saw this video and i can say no one explained everything so simple to understand but detailed enough to learn like you did. thans
Best beginner blueprint course I've seen. Perfect pacing. Well done and thank you.
Just wanna say again these videos are terrific, and I really look forward to watching those other videos on intermediate and advanced. Keep of the great work, man. You're helping a lot of people right now.

Man I love your tutorials! They are to the point, considering obstacles that we can run into and very useful examples! I restarted my UE journey several times the past years. With your help, I think I finally get the hang of it!! Also bought your Survival Game course. Probably wont have time to do this massive amount of value you provide there, but I still wanted to support you! Keep it up! 🚀
Been watching a bunch of UE5 videos the last week or so and this is the clearest, most well paced and organized video I’ve come across. Kudos! I’ll be subscribing and watching more of your work.
Thank you man, I was so eagerly waiting for this because your old tuts and UE5 have some diff stuff in blueprint .. Thanks for providing quality content for free :)
SWEET! Teach ALL of the things. You are a treasure. Great work!
Man, I learned more from this than I have from a few weeks of digging around other stuff. Great course, great content, and great Instructor. TY
Easy to follow and understand as the tutorial goes on. I appreciated the "mini projects" within the course. Thumbs up from an. absolute beginner. Thank you.
Great tutorials as always!! A note to anyone who might have had this problem: I was having problems with the soccer ball part - not causing the fireworks, not getting destroyed and reloaded. I found that the error was me updating some things to the goal and saving that, but the goal that was already present on the map was not updating. So deleting them, and replacing them with the latest saved version fixed that problem (Unreal v5.3.1)
thank you so much for these videos, they're slow enough for me to keep up and not have to continuously pause, but also fast enough that it keeps me interested! i am going to wait for your 5.4 new video series and ill be the first to buy it!
I've always wanted to learn how to use Unreal and your videos are what finally made me pull the tigger on it! Thanks for providing top tier classes for free!
This is one of the most thorough, yet simple tutorials of Unreal 5 and Blueprints. Great job!
Thank you for updating through out each large update and iterations , you have no idea how much it actually means . I’ve watched every single video more than once like and subbed you sir are S tier
Great video mister. Took me nearly 3 days to get through it with a lot of breaks but I managed and accomplished everything mentioned here with a little bit of extra (I set up the hit actors to spin at random rates when they spawn etc..) Can't wait to begint he next one! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this, I absolutely cannot wait for the next parts in the series!
This is great! I just finished this part and I genuinely feel like I took a LOT away from this guide! Cheers, and I hope you have a wonderful 2024!
Given up Unity for Unreal, things just seem so much easier here, thanks for this its been very helpful so far.

Thanks for making this video. Been watching a bit each day grasping more. You make it easy to follow with a lot of good information :)
This was my first Unreal tutorial and it was great! thanks for this!
Thanks to you, I now understand what I didn't comprehend in blueprints. I really appreciate it!
Such a good crash course on blueprints mate, nicely done.
Love your videos man, I'm still learning this stuff and working towards being a creator. You're the man, man!
Thank you , so many subjects and topics that are explained very well
Thanks man. You make very good videos. Really nice editing and teaching skills. Nice voice also.
this helped me a lot since i'm trying to make a survival/sandbox game I have experience with other game engines thanks!
Man you are so good at teaching people. Great work!
These tutorials are great. I had no idea where to start in unreal but this has helped me so much. Great work!
Just what I was looking for, well explaned and the most impotant and rare, it is really for begginers. Loving your channel and suscribed.
Best blueprint tutorial series i've found by far!
This tutorial is amazing. I did notice that when I left the doors hitbox I could still interact with it. I triple checked my blueprints and to the best of my beginner knowledge they matched yours exactly. While troubleshooting I linked "Get Player Controller - Return Value" to the "Disable Input - Player Controller" rather than "Target" and it worked exactly as intended. If you see this I'd love to know why we initially connect Enable Input to Player Controller and Disable Input to Target. Regardless thank you for the amazing tutorial!

Yeah if you change the "Get Player Controller" and move it from the "Target" node to the "Player Controller" node it works.

I also noticed: When pressing “E” to open the door while the door is in it’s closing animation, door will snap instantly to its closed position and then will begin opening. Did you have this too? Do you know how to correct it?
after going through this tutorial i was sold, just got the survival game lesson. you rock dude ty
Thanks for the lesson. Unfortunately, at 1:14:30, I can't transfer files to the engine. The exact error in the output log is: "LogAutomationController: Ignoring very large delta of 2.81 seconds in calls to FAutomationControllerManager::Tick() and not penalizing unresponsive tests". Unreal version 5.4.1 I will be grateful for any help.

this video was so super cool, ive always wanted to become a game dev but ive always struggled with unity and learning code, this visual blueprint system seems so much easier for my brain to follow! thanks for the awesome series :)
Loved it. First time I have been able to understand anything so I can make stuff. Thank you very very much. Awesomely amazing!!
I've been going through tutorial hell in my game development journey of 2 months. This video made blueprints A LOT easier for me to understand. Thank you!
Excellent instruction and pacing. Easy to follow and informative.
I have just finished this tutorial and it is great. Very informative, fun to get through, and I've got a grat game idea from it. Thank you man!
You're a legend. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial! Looking forward to the rest!
Excellent tutorial to dives in Blueprint! Useful information and good explanation, thank you!
Great work on these videos. You are very thorough and have a relaxed presentation voice that is clear and unrushed. This is important because if your voice doesn't sound rushed, I, as the student, don't feel rushed. This is very helpful for a total Unreal noob like me. In areas where I need to, I can skip ahead a little bit and learn at my speed. Some youtubers speak very quickly and show things as fast as possible. I'm very much against this approach as its almost impossible to slow things down in the video, but its much easier to skip around in a longer video. Your use of chapters is also a huge help in this regard. I watched the first video in this series and at first, the 2+ hour long runtime made me pause. KZread has trained me to have a short attention span (yeah, I blamed YT, not me, lol). I had already spent a couple of confused hours in the Unreal editor so I was able to rationalize the video time more easily. I spent 3+ hours watching it in real time but I watched it in its entirety, after which I gave it a like and subscribed. You describe things very well and cover the little details that are easy for a subject-domain expert like you to overlook. Keep up the great work!👏
Man this is great. At the beginning I was getting bored and i thought it was all going to be very slow paced, but i was wrong. Thanks a lot!
Great video. Very intro to blue prints. As I progress, I will look forward to your intermediate and advanced videos. Thx.
Love your tutorials man, keep it up brother
I think I've finally found a good starting point. Thank you very much.
God I adore this video so much! And it double up as an amazing drinking game if you do a shot every time he says “Kay?” 😂 Seriously though thanks for this. For some reason your videos more than any others seem to stick in my mind after. You’re a good teacher
Great video mate! Super cool stuff for a beginner course and you moved at a good speed. I'd like if you explained a little tiny bit more of the nodes and things you did but I learned a lot! Thanks so much.
Thank you for the Great beginners guide. Very Excited for the Advance Guide. 😇
This makes me love unreal even more.Thankyou .
wanted to thank you for making this tutorial. I'm only half way through, but I already appreciate your way of teaching in this. Highly recommend for people looking to get started in Unreal Engine!
Thank You for the update - Great Work.
Videos are awesome. The pacing of the instructions are great. I can follow along and repeat what you are doing while you are doing it and its awesome.
Thank you very much, very useful! Very clear, very well explained!
You are easy to listen to and learn from. very good. You are not speedruning, it's great.
This might be the only time I get excited about a working door, thank you for the tutorial
You’re a big help, brother, thank you very much ❤
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I'll following your tutorial till the end 😍😍
You are great! I am working with Unity more then 5 yeas and now I switched to Unreal Engine 5. I feel your tutorials like a romantic movie! Love and thanks to you.💌
So, I just want to say, thank you! It's a great video, and very helpful to those who want to learn Blueprint.
Excellent video, really helped me getting into unreal, thanks man !
Just 2 minutes into the video and I already feel so confident 😊
Great Tutorial...can't wait for your advance blueprint
At 2:43:51 I saw you could optimize a bit and instead of using separate relative location and rotation nodes you can use a "set relative location and rotation" node.
Great video - thanks so much for doing this.
Thank you for this tutorial! You are so smart Poly!🤭
Amazing video. Helps a lot!
Awesome video! Thanks for making

Genious starter course!
awesome tut man
At 1:19:45 - The Return Value needs to go into the Player Controller for Disable Input, NOT the target. Otherwise, once you've passed the collision once, it never properly disables the input, and you can equip the hat from anywhere in the level.
I love you! I watched 20 hours of unreal engine tutorials and got barely any progress. Now I understood more in this 3 hours than in the 20hours before that :O
Super valuable information for beginners!
Thanks! Great tutorial!
Can't get enough of your videos bro, thanks. I have your course, any other premium stuff?
it was a masterpiece! Thanks a lot!
Very cool course. Thank you so much.
Thanks again for the great training. My brain is now full!
As of UE 5.4, @1:48:00 you have to use "Get Player Character" instead of "Get Owning Player Pawn" for the percent progress bar to work.
Thank you for the good tutorial
Thank you for existing dude. I’ve had this project in mind for a year now and been jumping from tutorial to tutorial and nothing seems to really give me a good sense of what I’m actually doing. Just doing their own thing and having me follow along. I never really learned anything until I found your vids. I greatly appreciate you dude
You sir are a great teacher 😄

Bro I just Started Learning Unreal engine and This is already Epic You make us understand things Really easy
Love it very informative👍
You really need to give yourself a good pat on the back. You are the only tutor I have found on blueprints who is able to get through to me, your videos are so concise and easy to digest. I cannot wait to consume every UE5 tutorial you've got on offer.
Congrats on 100k!!!!
