Oh my god.... I really wish I knew this before. I've been struggling with this concept since I started using UE4. Thank you so much for these videos! You guys are amazing!

I consider a class to be the idea that defines a thing. And an object as a thing that exists. For example, the person class brings about an idea defining what a person is and can do. I, Jason, would be a person object.

Finally, the mystery is solved! You couldn't have made it any easier.

In current version of UE (4.16.1) - there are no more two types of BP_Sky_Sphere, there is only one on the list of search results. And when you hover mouse cursor on it - you should choose - Reference (reference to an object, in this video - it's object type) or Class. I think it is more clear, because Object (in most programming languages) - is not a type.

I don't see a separate folder for the object and class in the Data type now, did they updated or it is somewhere else?

I have master item which have struct variable, i can access the struct if i spawn object then cast the object to master item.
But, is there any way to access structure from CLASS ? so i dont need to spawn the object 1st ?

Hello can anybody tell me how to implement Class variables for BP use in C++?

[ChristopherJones]

hmm this confused me.. Ive been teaching myself C++ for some time now.. and never came across an "object" type.. Object in C++ as i learned are the instances that you create with types and the classes/structs which are types themselves are objects since a sports car can be a class which is also an object. Never read about a specific type known as an "Object"

2:23 Can't do that in this Unreal Engine 4 :)

[Lumpiluk]

The title is somewhat misleading. I was looking for a way to make static variables which I thought are synonymous with class variables.

[Matthew.]

how can i have a bool variable in a character blueprint of an npc and acces it through the level blueprint?

In attempt to simplify OOP, you just made it even more confusing for beginners.
