Unreal Engine 5 is a powerful and widely used game development engine that allows developers to create highly immersive and visually stunning games across multiple platforms. One of the key features of Unreal Engine 5 is its visual scripting system known as Blueprints, which provides a node-based interface for creating game logic without writing code.
The course begins with an introduction to event graph basics, the Blueprints execution order, organizing block connections, and different nodes, shapes, and colors. We then advance to learn about the types of variables, conditionals between values, private and public variables, and spawn actors in the scene through Blueprints. We will explore arrays, getting elements from arrays, the last index, and appending arrays. We will then advance to branches, sequences, loops, Flip Flop, and gates. You will learn about functions, macros, collapse nodes, custom events, and inputs. We will explore the game structure, actors, components, game mode, pawns, characters, and controllers. Finally, you will learn about creating characters, controlling time, controlling the spaces, color, materials, and the UI/UX interface.
Upon completion of the course, you will understand the blocks behind the Blueprints system and the fundamentals of game development using Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints.
