UE5 is easy for beginners but that's probably the reason why most of the AAA games released this year suck in optimisation, RTX 4090 barely can handle 30 fps in 4K. No one wants/cares to learn how to optimise this engine with coding...
@@iddeegee yup its so much easier than unity for example with actual script writing so new developers can spew out low quality games but with really good graphics and is not suited for big games
@@matt_z_07 i believe he has a 3090 on his PC
@@iddeegee I hope that changes soon, this engine is amazing without a doubt but we really need people to put time into optimizing their stuff.
So Ive completed everything up to about 2:09:00 and the ONLY thing that shows in my screen under target/details is "Async Physics Enabled" with a true or false check box??
What do I do?
It is truly unbelievable to think that content like this is completely free. this is hours and hours of work, research and editing. incredible.
@@jaizxzxyes, but you get my point right? This video teaches so, so much and i can just watch it freely how ever many times i want. That’s just really cool in my opinion.
@@jaizxzx So? Good for him. Those couple of h tutorials are enough for me cos I've been using for example, Blender for years. And it's really close to UE when it comes to HUD, menus, navigations etc.
I taught myself C++ just to use the Unreal Engine. I’m incredibly greatful for an incredible free product!
If you know where to look, even the course is free. God bless leaks. @@jaizxzx
wake up babe new ue5 tutorial just dropped
@@chhatrapatikumarreally? That's a lot of time😮.
@@bilalillahi6347 hmm,
UNREAL engine takes a lot of time to build apk for mobile , so if you regularly want to test games on mobile then unity/Godot would be good as an indie solo individual!
Unreal engine may be good but requires some more time in debugging, first time when building app it would take many hours(4-6 hours) but after that it will take 10-20 mins depending on the specs of the pc/laptop..
I have a ryzen 5 3450u 8gb 1tb hdd 500 ssd laptop with Vega 8 2gb apu, so i think it's fine...
!
I cheated on Unity 😞
@@DJdawwg-gi1ik hey there, I want to learn game development. Please guide me to where should I start. Should I learn Unity first or Godot or Unreal. I know programming language C ,java, dart, python
@@DJdawwg-gi1ikI heard unity is too difficult and costly
If you're having issues at 2:25:00 because you only have one material to work with, @TheDanteAdams found a solution. But since it's buried in the comments I wanted to make it a little easier to see and understand.
First, in the main level tab, go into Fractured Mode. Then, in the Mode Tools tab, find the drop-down called Utilities. Then select Material. Then in the fracture tab, go to Asset Materials, select Add Material Slot. Then, under the sub-dropdown that's also called Asset Materials, change Index[1] to the material that you want. Then go down to the drop down called Assign Materials, change Assign Material to [1] and To Faces to [Only Internal Faces] and press Assign Materials (this window is a little unintuitive because it only applies the changes once you press the assign button.
I don't know what am I doing wrong, but I'm stuck with this for the past hour. Did exactly as you said here, but it just won't do anything when I press Assign Materials.
Thank you kind sir
Make sure everything is selected in the fracture hierarchy on the right hand side of the menu. Then in the material tab, under assign Materials, choose 0 and put it in the "To Faces" on external. Click Assign Materials. Do the same thing for index 1 but choose internal and click "Assign Materials". Then it works. Thanks a lot!
Awesome workaround! Definitely made more sense after you explained it. It didn't simply create that secondary material slot.
Nice! Worked great. Thanks!
I already created my first game thanks to your tutorials, and I can’t wait to learn more!
Can i play your new game?
@@monday304 what do you mean ~.~ , this video is his first game :D
I wanna play!
I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am for these tutorials. Thank you so much for creating these great videos Sensei.
This was one of the first videos I've come across of yours - you do a very good job of introducing tons of micro lessons to learn more than most tutorials offer - very good at explaining things in ways most people can understand, but thorough! you are uniquely good at this kind of thing (coming from someone who has binged dozens of game dev videos) - subbed
I appreciate how you go over all the basics again, very clear and a good pace. I found some shortcuts i had forgotten about!
@@chhatrapatikumar Unreal is too heavy for mobile tbh, stick with unity or godot for mobile games.
its getting repetitive, but maybe later if my sandboxing found good spots
Zach you are a King my man, and I support you by having enrolled into Masterclass Membership Lifetime Access in 2021 and I love seeing new material you add. I just wanted to let you know that you are valued and greatly appreciated for making this material avaiable to us who are eager to learn and start our own gaming companies! You Rock!
Would you ever do a C++ beginners tutorial in a similar format to this? I love the content!
I just watched this whole thing and I was blown away. I'm going to take a stab at recreating the game in the tutorial. Looks fun at the end there with the environments!
Honestly wish I could enroll in the class to support the OP and learn from him. Recently been let go as new owners took over at the company I was working at. Been trying to get some sort of income but to no end.
Decided not to give up and go back to my root dream of game development. Knew not much about programming or game development but I'm studying now (tutorials on UA-cam, reading and messing around in UE). It's never too late to start, especially if you have people who supports you - which I have.
No matter your life circumstances, never give up. Even if you have to start from scratch. Everyone started somewhere. It takes strength to go on but it's easy to give up. Rise up' above it all and move forward to the best of your ability. Take it slow if you have to. You will make it! Believe in yourself, no matter how discouraged and hopeless you feel, force it and push forward. At some point, things will work out. Fake it till you make it :) -over and out.
Thanks to the OP for the great content. You deserve all the success! :)
he has master classes if you want to pay for those
@@adkenporter2829Ill take a look at them tysm! :)
Big numbers those lol..... so far out of my reach for now I'm afraid. Thank you though. Think I'll start small by creating 3D models and making money off them to support my studies journey through UE :) My life's quiet, no friends just fam' so most of my time can be utilized on this until I get to where I want to be! :)
thank you for your words. its also dream of mine to go game developing, everything ive ever done ive always quit. thank you.
@@matthewthompson2403 Ur welcome mate. Honestly, same here but this time I'm pushing trough. So much to learn but I'm slowly getting there. Just need the patience which I'm struggling mostly with lol
just wanted to say thank you for going through each and every thing slowly. makes it so much easier to learn!
This is exactly what I needed, I'm using unreal engine to male a game with my friends and this is perfect. Thank you so much.
I have been following this as a complete beginner. I got really frustrated a few times along the way for example, it would mess up in the scoring system section... but having gone back through it many times I realized I was rushing and had actually missed small details such as making too many targets as one was hidden as a duplicate or skipping a node that should have been connected etc. So a painful lesson learned is there is no need to rush, just step by step and don't give up!
Hi, thank you for this tutorial. We all appreciate the time and effort you give to helping others.
Would you ever consider doing a racer / driving tutorial? I understand most skills learnt here and in your other videos are transferable, and I could apply the Driving game mode to be set up with the basics, but it would be interesting to see the different nodes / blueprints regarding alot of the physics and perhaps adaptive AI for other vehicles.
Hope this reaches you, thanks again :)
Just followed through this whole video with 0 experience with UE5 or coding, and now I have a cool game that I made and some more knowledge to carry on with me. Thanks Unreal Sensei!
Your tutorials have been so incredibly helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make these and for explaining so thoroughly.
Im not sure if this is a common issue or would be widely sought after, but I have struggled with blueprints for mounting. Horses/Bikes/Yoshis, etc. I would love a walkthrough on mounts
Had to make a game as a school project and you stumbled into my feed. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial!
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH. I JUST COMPLETED CREATING MY FIRST GAME PROJECT FOR MY EXHIBITION IN MY ACADEMY
Thank you so much for the work that went into this! I'm only half way through and even tho FPS aren't what I'd develop, there's been so much I've learned coming from Unity
Makes me happy to see that you're producing more content, your videos are just incredible, and I'm actually one of those people who watched and followed the long ones until the very end!
How to connect live unreal engine 5 to Android ?
Just like unity has unity remote 5 to connect live.
Thank you very much for all this! I can't tell you how helpful the format is with the chapters
Thank you Zach and team for this great tutorial; I'm very much enjoying it! I'm still on the beginner part at the moment. I enjoy how it starts out with the basic knowledge and covers it quickly and goes much further in depth: it doesn't just stay at a very basic level and it start off by assuming any familiarity with Unreal!
i been using unreal engine since 2014 and picked up a few things here good video man!
Holy moly! This is the best tutorial i've ever seen.
I noticed something when following the tutorial like actor max length, the bullet is not goes to crosshair, but this man showing us like "If you noticed, we still have some issues like .." and doing it properly (max actors using length, others lazy tutorial will be use quick solution like using maxScore variable to be static default value) but he is not.
Great job Unreal Sensei!
I LOVE HOW DETAILED THESE VIDEOS ARE AND YOU TAUGHT ME SOMETHING THAT WOULD'VE TAKEN ME MONTHS TO GET
I just finished your other video and saw you released this one you have amazing timing thank you for all your hard work
I have seen many tutorials but really you are totally different and especial.
You made everything quite simple for the beginners and resolve the comman mistakes in great way.
Really feel happy to follow you and wish u the best 👍
Thanks! Already did the other Tutorial and created a little video about it, now I am hyped for this one before i can start the Masterclass!
Hey dude, thank you for this video. I’m starting game development later this year in college and thought off learning some basics first.
I did videomaking, 3D modeling and webdesign in the past so I’m familiar with content management and all, but it’s nice learning more off the basics. Thank you.
Just wanted to say thanks, your videos got me going on UEFN. I'm enjoying the learning process. I hope I make something amazing and fun! Thank you Sensei!
Thank you man. Best tutorial of UE5 i have seen. Now i'm confident of firing it up and start making something.
I know this took a lot of time to put together, and I appreciate this!
Hey Sensei, that was a GREAT VIDEO! Thank you very much.
I created my first game by following the tutorial from a different Unreal teacher, but this video is MUCH better, and the game I could have created if I had followed this tutorial would have much better than the one I already have. So, now you are my favorite sensei, Sensei! So thank you! I'll be watching.
It could be great to take this same game and go through the process of making it a VR game (ideally also with teleport Alyx style for those suffering from motion sickness). Result would be amazing!
Looks like that's your homework 😃😃
Thanks for making that great tutorial. Its awesome to have ppl like you that explain the things from abolute 0, so even the bloodiest beginner does understand them and is able to follow them. Keep that up, Sensei.👌
Just a friendly heads up, at around 1:38:48 when you add the text for the losing end screen but you want to add another message at the restart button do the exact same layout as before with the other nodes and connect your branch node with the set text (text) node and also switch your second set text (text) node target to your end button text and make sure you make it a variable. hope this helps someone out there!!
Best unreal engine tutorial ever, congratulations! Also, a video where you show us how to optimize our games would be nice
Small tip in Unreal 5.3.2
At 2:12:38 there's an option to create an internal material. That doesn't seem to exist anymore. Now, there's a "Materials" section when in Fracturing Mode while selecting a fracture method to select which material in the material array to apply for the internal material of a fracture.
Felt like mentioning it because I had to google search that thing for 10 minutes and ended up just searching through the Fracture Mode settings to find it.
Yes, I tried it, but assigning the materials does not work on my end. I tried multiple times to assign the right material to the internal face, saved and recompiled. Nothing works. How did you do it?
great, i actually learned alot from this. I was first intimidated by Blueprint but as i continued it became more understandable and it is pretty much just a bit more complicated way of how scratch does it. Thats as always for the tutorial.
Let's go! Thank you so much for another tutorial. ❤
appreciated effort brother, we will be so grateful if you make niagara tutorials ❤️
Amazing video, you explained each and every concept very well! Keep it up!
if you're getting compiler errors around 1:33:22, make sure that you're using deecrement INT, and that there are no truncates inbetween your variable.
Was waiting for a new tutorial from you. Finally
Bro, thank you. I really want to make a first person shooter Souls-like using this engine. This helped a lot.
Thank you a lot for the tutorial, Sensei! I followed it to the end! 🙌 (at the end the restart button should be changed too, to start you on the new level)
1:42:40
You also need the same "Is game NOT over" check for the showEndScreen, because leaving it like that still gives overlap of endscreens when the "you lose" screen shows, but the projectile is still traveling to the target, if it hits then it will overlap the "you win" screen as it doesn't check if the game is over before telling you you won
You could also stop the physics somehow though I assume.
Ive been making mods for Crysis for a long time as well as dabbling in Cryengine3 and 5. I have a very solid understanding of the cryengine flowgraph system, looks like blueprint is fairly similar.
FYI: at 1:22:48 you can also just check the 'Flush Input' checkbox on the Set Input Mode node, that will also kill any user input.
Who else is here after the latest Unity update? Regardless of what they do, I cannot believe they hired an ex EA CEO. It means there is not even a little bit of love for game development left which Epic has had for the Unreal Engine since forever. I'm a new member of the UE team and I will never go back to Unity.
Thank you for the first steps. Perhaps you could look into a quick guide for ex Unity developers to get started with Unreal even quicker :D
me lol
Now that Unity decided to shoot themselves in the foot, many people will move to Unreal.
Yep, thats the reason why Im here.
Same 😅
Thank you Sensei this helped me out so much. Your tutorial was life changing, I scored a job at Ubisoft due to your tutorials. Pls keep it up and post more videos ty much love from Canada.
Wow that is awesome and inspiring! Did you have zero knowledge and background in programming prior to the tutorials?
Damn! Lol. How many tutorials did you watch!?
@Unreal Sensei also if you select Setting top right corner of the Viewport WorldSettings is also located there.
Just completed this! Very awesome, I learned so much!! Thank yoU!
That was a fun little project that just about anyone a little tech savy could follow along with. I think a everyone should have go at this just to get a better understanding of a how a game is put together.
This video taught me the F2 shortcut for renaming files in Windows file explorer. 10/10
Sensei, thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!
02:38:16 If you want the Restart button to load the level you've just played, open WBP_EndScreen and on the "Level" node of "Open Level (by Object Reference)" change the target to your newly created level.
Cheers!
Is it possible for me to use this tutorial using unreal engine 4 instead of 5
@@team_b0679 unfortunately not, but you may try
Thank you! I was surprised when it teleported me back to the original level haha!
Stay comfy, you'll probably stay in my Watch Later list for a few months lmao.
Lol same here 😂
Can't watch this video right now, but I couldn't stop myself thanking for the amazing job you did making this very long and useful video. Thanks so much ❤
Unity has unity remote 5 to preview games directly on mobile without building apk where as Unreal engine 5 has not such features and building apk takes 3-4 hours !
For mobile game development, how can I preview live on Android mobile in unreal engine ?
My man you are a beast at teaching! Thank you for sharing!
Just kind of skimming through this at the moment, but I have an amateurish question about the target BP's box collision. Since the box collision for the BP_Target is not actually removed and is just set to allow pass through, does that put you at risk for any sort of optimization issues down the road? Is it safe to have all of your destroyable actors setup in a similar manner? Thanks a ton for this video by the way!
when you dragged the scope in i was so happy
I had the previous video about making games bookmarked but guess will start with this one now
Just wow to this and all your awesome tutorials! Thank you.
I thank you because of you I learned the program
I came across the problem that some others did, where at 2:24:13 when you go to change the inside material on the geometry collection, there's only one element. Eventually figured out that opening the details of the Geometry Collection I could add more elements. However, after adding elements, then assigning them the inside materials as shown, they do not show. The inside material remains a flat brownish color (the same as before adding the inside material). I have been unable to resolve this.
Okay, so after messing around I finally found out how to solve it.
In Fractured Mode, first go to Utilities-Material, then you go to Asset materials-Add Material Slot, select your second material and now go to Assign Materials, make sure to select which material goes to which faces (Internal, external or both), and then click on the blue button: Assign Materials.
Then you go to Fracture and (maybe this last step is not necessary if you previously assigned the faces) before you fracture choose the Internal Material under Materials.
Now you can fracture and it should work as intended. If you've previously fractured, those pieces will remain with the default brownish color so click on Reset before fracturing again.

You are gold, Sensei! Thank you so, so much for this absolutely outstanding work!
1:41:36 You don't check if the game is over when showing victory screen, so if you shoot a projectile into last target and clock runs out while the projectile flies you will get both win and lose screens.
With What Unity has done I just hope this one i can learn from cause im not sure it was a previous one from you but it just did work the target 🎯 but i will give it another try all i need is the basics especially putting animations into a character so i can use a template to make a prototype thank you
best tutorial ever....Great job ... Helped a lot
This tutorial is amazing for begginers. Thank you very much!
شكرا على هذا الدرس ❤❤
Loving this! Sometimes you start speed running it though and i have to pause and rewind several times even working off multiple monitors. I'd rather it be longer and/or multiple videos. Is the masterclass slowed down for first timers that are following along and not just watching it?
Sensei, you are the PERFECT teacher for UE.
All hail Sensei 🙏
once i finish watching all your videos i will be enrolling
Gamers are so quick to blast developers heads off these days, but I have a new appreciation for what you guys do after watching this. I want to get into game development, but I can see it will take years to really get to where I want.
WHY THIS CHANNEL IS SO ADDICTIVE🙃
Because he's making something

Another one ...nice, thank you.
Great Tutorial been looking for someone with good knowledge on UE5.
Is it possible if i could ask for one video request???
the one thing i struggled with is regarding to shooting to crosshairs, you do show how to do this but the one thing i noticed is if you are close to walls it doesnt shoot where the crosshairs is and could you also show how to do an aim down sight as well??
cheers
For anyone that gets stuck at the target print string component hit test, make sure you're adding the blueprint asset to your game space not the static mesh asset.
Simply brilliant! There is one problem, which I am trying to solve, Restarting the game takes you back to the old environment vs the new one (Electric Dream) which I am using. This is my first attempt at UE but while I aim to resolve this on my own, any help will be appreciated.
For anyone else who is facing similar problem, changing the Level to ElectricDreams fixed it for On Clicked Event for Restart Button. Set it to whatever level you are using as part of your environment.
Thanks for another great tutorial. I've had UE5 sitting installed on my computer not doing anything for a couple of months as it seemed too daunting to even know where to begin, but your videos are cutting straight through that and are making up for those several months of inactivity. On another note, HUD blueprint doesn't seem to be included with the download as at 23/11/2023. Judging by the folders it seems you may have updated it since making this video and possibly left it out by mistake?
Bro you are so great but please make a video on how to script the characters and environment
I just finished your other “making a game” tutorial a week ago, so excited to learn with this one! Thank you for helping me navigate through Unreal and into the direction of my dream career.

Amazing content 🥳
Thank you for this. As a seasoned developer but a noob in Unreal this was a great guide to get started. 🤩
Hi! Thank you for making this and all of your other content.
Other people are more long-winded, contain less info, and end up backtracking because they made a mistake, or it took a while to figure out what they were doing..
Excellent tutorial, thank you.
Great tutorial and I look forward to learning more
You just birthed my dream of creating video games. Thank you so much.
I have a question please, what if I want to shoot multiple times before the board destroys, can you tell me what part I should make the required changes?
Thank you.
P.S. If convenient, kindly share a link to a screenshot that shows the part.
