Thanks for this tutorial. I am following along using UE 5.4.3 and there are a few subtle differences. Just sharing what I've found in case anyone else following along may have difficulty due to it not being the same version of 5.4.

1) 19:20 - drag and search for "make vector" then connect the value to add impulse

2) 41:50 - when importing the font you should hit "yes" for the dialog that pops up

3) I must of missed where you added a way to update the bool variable for 'bFinalLevel, ' but I did it in the event graph of 'beatLevelVolume_BP' by dragging from the "On Component Begin Overlap (Box)" and using "Get Current Level Name", then dragged from its 'Return Value" and used "Equal Exactly" and compared it to the name used for the last level, then dragged the result into a Branch where I could set 'bFinalLevel" to true or false depending on the result.

I חust finished, Thank you for the great experience.
One thing, it was nice if the game had music or sound effects :)

Be sure when you're adding the tag to the "BP_Obstacle", that you're adding it to the "BP_Obstacle (Self)" and not the actual mesh itself. I had an issue where the print string wasn't firing and this was my issue.

Good intro to go along looking over other videos. Things are done too quickly, like selecting something from a menu, so you miss it and have to rewind sometimes. There are cuts without explaination sometimes. The biggest concern was wiring the HUD from the Pawn. Ideally it should be the other way around from day 1. All HUD view stuff should in the HUD Event Graph and have references other Actors and Pawn.

Za sada odličan video, sve je kratko i jasno. Hvala 👍

Very nice! A great beginner project, short and no clutter from templates/assets/UE version etc. This is exactly the kind of basic stuff I've been looking for. The logic with canMove boolean was bit off, you stop the cube when it's false. I modified that part to make more sense. With that said, I totally recommend this to anybody just starting out with UE!

Great Vid, Looking forward to complete more tutorials!

Thanks for the video, but I didn't expect Unreal to be this complex. A similar tutorial for Unity would be 6-8 minutes.

Can’t get the tag for the obstacle to show up even tho I copy and pasted went thru the whole section 3-4 times now trying to figure out what I’m doing wrong and everything matches up with the video so idk

Just to be clear when you imported a new font, it was called Online Market and in fact was not showing up when you selected the dropdown of the fonts on the ScoreText. The font you were hovering over when you said the new font should now be there is DroidSansMono which is a default UE font. I went through the same steps and could not get the font I downloaded to show up.

[mysteriousman]

Im not sure if anyone else is having this problem but I can't seem to get the scoretext to show up as a variable? I've made sure it's checked multiple times and have also tried redoing the steps but so far I can't seem to figure out the issue

[burynice]

Thanks for this, I tried using unreal's official learning material but none of it is compatible with 5.4 which was frustrating. God send.

[GreenAxolotl]

guys help im stuck at adding obsticles because i did everything he was doing but it still didn't cancel out the movement. i am using UE 5.4.4 so do i need to do something different?

[potatoeguy]

whenever i started designing the level, for some reason when i play now im not spawning as the cube, i have auto posses player on player 0, what do i do

[danielmehta]

It is not allowing me to click Infinite Extent in the Post Process Volume. That check box just isn't responding / working

[DDWells]

Awesome intro to the engine, looking forward to delving into your other tutorials!

[Saucyboi-_-]

After I gave my cube a forward impulse when I hit play a second cube spawns in front of my player cube. how do i stop the second cube from spawning?

[monday]

Amazing tutorial. Could you please teach us how to make this game for Android devices? Please!!!

[zakahchay]

Very detailed tutorial. For me, the speed of you doing everything was too fast. The 1 hour video took me 3 hours to do the tutorial with all the steps.
