How to Cast in Unreal Engine 5

Figuring out what Unreal wants from us in this Object Blob is very confusing. I hope that this short overview can shed some light on this issue!

This workflow is suitable for UE4 and UE5

This tutorial totally made me understand such a crucial element of the Blueprints in Unreal -- Thank you!

I spent two days on researching about how casting in Unreal works and this is by far the only video who explains it on a holistic approach. German excellence. :) Thank you for the video.

This was the most clear explanation of Casting Ive seen. Thank you! I finally get it :D

[MrShakr]

Es ist wirklich beeindruckend wie gefühlt ganz YouTube bislang daran scheiterte das mal sinnvoll zu erklären und man es unnötig schmerzhaft selbst lernen musste. Danke für das Video^^

I understand now. Thank you! For anyone who still got stuck, make sure to use the picker tool on the variable and pick the blueprint that youre casting to.

Underrated tutorial I recommend this to anyone trying to learn about Unreal Engine! Thank you for this.

Man thank you! Someone finally answered my question in a way that is more complete. most of the video about casting is just to cast the player character to object without out explaining it

[AndyU]

The best way to explain something is to voice the frustration and the confusion that is expected for that thing to cause :)

Just a genuine thank YOU!!!! in 5m I learn more than in the past month....

But you forgot to mention that you had to Pick the specific Jboy Actor inside the editor, or am i wrong?
I mean, if you just create the actor reference variable inside of the blueprint, the cast still wont know which exact blueprint you're talking about. You can see in the details panel what I am trying to say - at 3:35 after selecting your BP_JBoy, under "Default", there is the dropdown menu for your public actor reference variable and you had to put in "BP_Jboy2", or else it would say "none" and the cast would fail.


Just trying to understand, here - im not criticising

oh my god you're both hillarious and awesome with that charts

[vancityr]

I still get a cast failed :( trying to cast to a BP containing a static mesh.

[MonsterJuiced]

Yes! This is perfect great work. I had so much trouble with this too and you're right everyone just says get third person character. What a cop out, they never explained why. I bet even they didn't know tbh

[Dire-Locke]

Just what I needed thank you! Literally watched 3 videos before yours that all used the cast to character example.

[BerahtHrod]

Finally someone who can help, especially with the object matter. :)

[gamerknott]

I've been struggling with this for so long, thanks a lot!
