Awesome. Elegant solution really. Thanks for the tutorial!

[lukoppotamas]

lets go! I was asking for this in your 2d series intro video. Thanks man!

[Suthriel]

Thats cool, i didn´t know about that "validated get" option o.O

[krolix]

Fantastic tutorial. I bought one of your courses and I'd love to see how to make a simple bossfight. Hope you make more!!!

[NeedABigrHammer]

Absolutely love your videos! It’s made me focus almost entirely on 2d and 2.5d now in UE5 and it’s so fun. It would be amazing if you could make a tutorial on top-down enemy ai/combat next

[windangeling]

Nice tutorial. If there will be series for a metrovania or megaman like games that will be sweet!

I really enjoy your content, thank you for the work.
I Only have one thing that I feel is not perfect.
It`s always heavy to understand for a newbie, when you start with this is a class from this and from that and so it is.
Maybe it comes more handy with a note like:"if this is unclear check here" or even "Check my course online"
Ill try to use this video in my first project, maybe it works for me, maybe not.
Anyway, again:
Thank You !

5:59 yeah guys you can just skip allat and just do add 180 to actor rotation, not SET... ADD

[Sadness]

Thanks for this vidéo it's Amazing

[romanchannel]

That's way simpler than my Event Tick -> Sphere Trace

[ronberry]

Is there anyway to just move the enemy back and forth (simple patrol) without bumping into something?

[matteocamboni]

Is it possible to make the movement not only on one axis, but on all three? Thank you in advance for your response

[phildrakep]

Hello, Could you help me to make a 2d rope That we can go up and down and swing. THANKS

[jephrennaicker]

[KondixOfficial]

Where to get this Penguin sprite? Please show me

[shnicelskiy]

Hello, the link to the course is not available, how can I get it?

[dislue]

Could you please make a video of how to make a player respawn after a flipbook plays when the player dies like Mario game and a UI with some phrases pops up for a few seconds?

[Cactusking]

New to Unreal but this This Video helped me a lot, but if I want to add so when my player collides with my enemy my player dies, how to I do that?
