These are the kind of tutorials we need to actually learn. A lot of the other tutorials just say connect this to that and this other thing to that other thing without the person watching ever really understanding what any of it is or does. This was a very helpful video for a dummy like me. thank you!

This is the backbone of all the game development. Learning what each do will make our lives so much easier.

Handy video for beginners for sure.
A little additional piece of information from me (a bit more advanced though)
But keep in mind that blue functions execute once and STORE the output values. And green nodes will run again EVERY TIME you access that input value.
So if you have a green random number node that you use two different places, you will get TWO DIFFERENT numbers, which can be a bit confusing at first!
This goes for heavy complex logic as well. Make sure the heavy calculations dont run more than they are supposed to using a "Print" node if you are not sure...

This is a wonderful and helpful brief video. It's great to get started on something and find a <5 min video giving good information on it.

I need you as a friend 😂. It's rare to have a tutorial that explains all the things I'm wondering when I'm newer to blueprints. You explain the blueprints and what each part does. Awesome job man! I'm subbing for sure.

Hey, can you please make a video on how to pick up different rifles and have them replicated? I struggling with the replication because I have the character pick up the rifle but only the player can see it not the others. Thanks, this would be appreciated.

Hi good tutorial, btw what is version u use?

Ryan. How the fuck do we use arrays in unreal? For example, applying DOT's to a group of enemies so the one enemy across the room isn't randomly taking damage when they were nowhere near the blast radius.
