New UE4 Tutorial: Volume Control Using Widgets AlenLoebUE4 2019-03-16 | Thanks for watching. If you have any questions, write them in the comments below.Quick summary: - Sound Class is a container of multiple settings that can be applied to a sound wave class - Since UE4 can't change sound class's properties during runtime, you'll need to make a Sound Mix, which contains multiple sound classes and can modify their volumes, pitches and some equalizer effects. - To make a sound mix affect sounds, call Set Base Sound Mix - To change sound mix's attributes, call Set Sound Mix Class Override, where you can change volume and pitch

New Bomberman tutorial PART 3: Explosion Camera Shake AlenLoebUE4 2019-01-19 | I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials. To make my tutorials better I would like to ask you to write comments on these next videos with critics about my tutorials. I won't ignore them. I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).Quick summary: - Camera Shake blueprint consists of: Oscillation duration (shaking duration), Oscillation blend in and out duration (smooth fade in and out),3 types of oscillation: Rotation, Location and Field of View - Rotation oscillation contains pitch (up, down), yaw (left, right) and roll (tilt) rotation axis and each one has Amplitude (strength) and Frequency (speed) options. - To spawn a camera shake blueprint, use PlayWorldCameraShake function, set it's epicenter near a camera you wish to shake in world space and inner and outer radius to cover an area of effect. Thanks for watching!
New Bomberman tutorial PART 2: making a bomb blueprint AlenLoebUE4 2018-12-23 | I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials. To make my tutorials better I would like to ask you to write comments on these next videos with critics about my tutorials. I won't ignore them. I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).Quick summary: - Firstly I made the bomb, which slowly expands in size before it sets off using a timeline - when the bomb explodes, it spawns 4 explosion actors from an explosion blueprint, which contains a box for overlap events and a particle system, that leave a trail behind (like smoke). - The explosion moves in it's forward direction until it reaches a travel distance limit. To set this limit, we use a box trace for objects to make sure, that the distance is set to max or to the distance between hit location and explosion's start location. - Once it reaches the limit, the actor gets destroyed after a quick delay. - The explosion particle system contains a Spawn Per Unit module, which spawns more particles when moving. Type Data is set to GPU Sprites because it allows us to run the particle system on the GPU without any performance issues.Thanks for watching!

I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).Quick summary: -I based my player movement on using forces in 4 directions: forwards, backwards, left and right. -To avoid flipping over while sliding, use constraints on rotation -Speed limiting is basically checking if the velocity vector is bigger than a certain amount. If true, than set the current velocity to the clamped current velocity on X and Y components.Thanks for watching!
NEW Unreal Engine C++ tutorial PART 6: Overlap event and Cast function AlenLoebUE4 2018-09-22 | OnComponentBeginOverlap delegate parameters: I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials.

I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down.

NEW Unreal Engine C++ tutorial PART 5: Timers AlenLoebUE4 2018-09-03 | I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials. To make my tutorials better I would like to ask you to write comments on these next videos with critics about my tutorials. I won't ignore them. I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).Quick summary: - Functions in ue4 c++ are declared using the UFUNCTION tag, which is very similar to UPROPERTY because it can also take in certain options - The SetTimer() function is a member of a FTimerManager class, which can be found in a UWorld class - 1st parameter is an FTimerHandle object, which identifies a timer - 3rd parameter is the function you wish to call. Don't forget to write your class and an & character . - 2nd parameter is an object that's setting the timer - 4th parameter is a float delay, which is the interval rate between function calls - the last parameter is a bool option to loop a timer or not.Thanks for watching!
NEW Unreal Engine C++ tutorial PART 4: SpawnActor AlenLoebUE4 2018-09-02 | I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials. To make my tutorials better I would like to ask you to write comments on these next videos with critics about my tutorials. I won't ignore them. I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).Quick summary: - The SpawnActor function is a member of the UWorld clas. That's why you need to include it's header from the Engine's folder: #include "Engine/World.h" - It needs 3 parameters to work: a UClass *class, an FVector &location and an FRotator &rotation. - Then last 2 parameters are addresses. To give addresses, use the & character in front - TSubclassOf object points at the other object's UClass as a pointer.Thanks for watching.
NEW Unreal Engine C++ tutorial PART 3 (read the comments): .Cpp file, Adding components to a class AlenLoebUE4 2018-09-01 | I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials. To make my tutorials better I would like to ask you to write comments on these next videos with critics about my tutorials. I won't ignore them. I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).Quick summary: - a constructor fires the moment a class gets created and a deconstructor fires when a class is destroyed/removed from a simulation - begin play acts the same as in blueprints; is fires once a class/blueprint starts running BUT fires after the constructor - tick event fires every frame - Never include .h files in headers because it might cause circular dependencies (2 headers including each other) - use the forward declaration method to quicken compilation times - UBoxComponent, USphereComponent and UTextRenderComponents have their headers stored inside the Components directory - CreateDefaultSubobject takes 2 parameters to work: object class and a name. This function creates an interface for components inside the editor - Use either EditAnywhere or VisibleAnywhere options to make a component editable - If you're searching for components in the Components folder type Components/ in the "" - Try to solve the quick test I gave you in the videoThanks for watching
NEW Unreal Engine C++ tutorial PART 2: Class setup, adding variables, UPROPERTY() AlenLoebUE4 2018-08-31 | I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials.

I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).Quick summary: - Create a class by right-clicking in the Content browser - new C++ class - In blueprints create a source class (an empty class named source), generate visual studio project files and reopen the editor. Create a class you want and to remove the error after creating the class, remove Intermediate and Binaries folder and reopen the editor. If the solution loads incorrectly, open it manually. UPROPERTY() is a way of declaring objects with a variety of options, which can change its accessibility, the way of editing, ...Here's the link to all UPROPERTY() options of them: wiki.unrealengine.com/UPROPERTY
NEW Unreal Engine C++ tutorial PART 1: Introduction to C++ Workflow AlenLoebUE4 2018-08-30 | I want to thank everyone for supporting me on my way through making these tutorials. To make my tutorials better I would like to ask you to write comments on these next videos with critics about my tutorials. I won't ignore them. I have a strong soul so you can write both negative and positive things about my videos; it won't break me down. But without any threatening comments or anything like that, please ;).A quick revision:- C++ is supposed to be way better in difficult calculations, that happens very often. You can find such things in: - Shooting - Changing parameters of dynamic material instances - Array sorting algorythms - Perlin noise calculations - AI behaviour code ...Classes can be used to create custom blueprint "structures" (I said in the video) or "formats" so that all blueprints of that same class have exact same somponents, variables, events and functions available. This can come handy with event dispatchers too.There are 2 file types in a class:.H FILE: In here you create variables, functions, events, components, etc..CPP FILE: In this file you write all logic for functions, that can change components, variables, trigger events. This is basically Event graph and Contruction script in one.

UE4 tutorial: Realistic baked lighting for videogames AlenLoebUE4 2018-02-22 | Thank you for watching my tutorials, hit the like button and subscribe to stay notified with more tutorials.Unreal Engine 4 version: 4.18Facebook page: facebook.com/AlenLoeb/?ref=aymt_homepage_panelTo summarise everything from this tutorial:- Static lights allow baked lighting, which has the best performance and it is also the most realistic looking.- Stationary lights are can allo baked static shadows and dynamic shadows if there are any movable objects in the scene.- Movable lights allow realtime shadows, but they are the least efficient type of lighting.- There is a big difference between Preview and High buil quality in terms of baked global illumination. While building your level it is better to use preview and at the end of the day check your work in high quality build.- Static lights don't affect movable objects, that's why you can disable them after a lighting build.- Light source angle defines the size of shadow penumbras (partially dark shadows). I find best results at 0.5.- Area shadows allow penumbras to show up, also theyre used with static lights by default.- You can disable SSAO by unchecking Ambient Occlusion option in project setting. Then in World setting enable Use Ambient Occlusion option, which allows AO to be baked and at the end it's more efficient.Music:------------------------------------------------------------Groove Grove - Kevin MacLeod (No Copyright Music)Bumper Tag - John Deley (No Copyright Music)Called Upon - Silent Partner (No Copyright Music)Kevin MacLeod ~ WallpaperWaltz of the Flowers - Tchaikovsky (No Copyright Music)------------------------------------------------------------Thanks for watching!
