Blueprint Interfaces are an incredibly useful tool in Unreal Engine. They allow for extremely modular systems, and scalable code. If you know anything about casting, you know that when dealing with a variety of distinct objects, it starts to break down. Blueprint interfaces are essential for things such as interaction systems, electricity systems, (ie. button and switch) and so much more. Understanding Blueprint Interfaces is essential for development in Unreal Engine, and will make your life so much easier. I hope you enjoy the video, and best of luck in your projects!

Thanks for explaining these: 1. If you make a function in an interface without parameters, it'll be an event. 2. You don't need to check if an object is an interface to broadcast the event, if it's not, it'll simply not work. Very clear video with good audio quality, love your pace too! Oh also, I'm learning C++ for UE5, is it possible to also cover some C++ approaches in the future videos?

Didn't know about the function part, and I've been using these for a while! I'm now wondering about the practice of creating multiple Interfaces, or keeping a big one with many functions, is there a performance hit? For material parameter collections it was a real hassle to keep more than one, and consolidating them was needed to add plugins that had their own. Any thoughts on that?
@krysc96
@krysc96 6 ай бұрын
Theres a better option for that actually. If you want a big list of blueprint functions, you shouldn't make an interface. Interfaces are generalized for any actors, but they only do special functions. If you made a huge list of functions, it would reference the entire interface which isn't the most practical. Instead you want to create a Blueprint Function Library. This allows you to make a very broad list of functions but they all can serve a niche function. Then you can call the Blueprint Function Library and use any functions you've created within your BP interfaces, or in regular BPs as well

Now show how you did it for the chair and the gun! How did you avoid casting back to the player to make him sit down? Another function in the interface? What if there are multiple interactables that need to affect the players animation state, variable, etc differently? Does it end up being where the player checks which object he's interacting with and resorts to another True/False/Valid/Invalid chain to know what way to respond based off the interactable?

That’s weird, I’ve never had that happen before. Do you see the drop-down to add the interface at all? Is it just that the interface itself isn’t showing up? If that’s the case, then my guess would be that you have it in your developer folder and don’t have the “show developer content” setting enabled. Otherwise if it’s not showing you the drop-down at all I’m honestly not sure and would have to do some digging

@TylerSerino
@TylerSerino 5 ай бұрын
Yes, if you were making an interactable object like that you would most commonly make them an actor. When you drag a mesh into the world, it creates a static mesh actor for that mesh, because anything in the world has to be an actor, but you have no control over it that way. The only time i'd drag a mesh directly into the world is maybe if it were a static prop for visuals only.

@TylerSerino
@TylerSerino 11 ай бұрын
This is really going to depend on what you're making and how you're making it. You don't need a *direct* reference, but you still need a generic reference. As you can see in my example, the line trace returns a generic actor, not a direct reference but still some sort of reference to the object its hitting. In the case that you're not using a linetrace, and doing something more abstract, ie communicating between the player bp and the animation bp, it will vary. In that example, the player bp stores a reference to the animation bp so you can just reference it that way. In reverse, you can get player character from the animation bp. If you provide me more detail on what you're trying to communicate between i can maybe help more. But all in all, when it comes to getting references to things, there is no one right answer.

Amazing explanation man ! I wanted to ask ... When you go in the Interface and create the Variable as "Actor". I am pretty sure it loads up into the Memory already as an Actor reference? I wanted to use Interfaces with "Actor" as Variable, but this stopped me ... EDIT: I have checked and it's basically the same as Casting ( it's a hard reference and it's loading the actor ). When you creating the Variable and when you typing "Actor", hover over and CTRL+ALT to read the tooltip ... :( so this is a NO NO too, the same as Casting...

Since widgets buttons don't support overlap events, I'm trying to put a collision box behind the widget button and have that box trigger the widget click button. (blueprint collision box = emulated widget button click.) Blueprint interface won't send the message to the event in my widget to replace my button click event..

So would this be the way to implement guns of different caliber? They all share a similar trait, firing a projectile, but they can have vastly different characteristics.
@TylerSerino
@TylerSerino 11 күн бұрын
I would use inheritance for the gun system itself. This would be more geared toward communication between two separate classes, which typically guns dont have to communicate with each other. You could use this for interacting with your guns, ie having the player pick up the gun, and perhaps even sending the signal to fire, but I would only use them like that if you have other wieldables that are vastly different ie, something that has nothing to do with combat and does something when you press the “fire” button.

@@TylerSerino That makes sense. I think I phrased my question wrong because I am trying to communicate between the "gun" class and the "projectile" class. TL;DR- I want the size, weight, effect, and speed of the projectile to be determined by the weapon in use by somehow specifying these traits in the weapon description. So there would be one algorithm to calculate trajectory. But the .338 sniper rifle would perform much differently than the 9mm pistol because they spawned different projectiles. And an incendiary round would have a different effect on the target than an armor piecing round. I know this can all be done manually for each weapon. That just seems a lot clumsier than saying "this weapon fires projectiles of this size" and "ammunition of this type has this effect", then passing that information to the projectile when it is spawned. That makes it so much simpler to add new weapons later.

@@johnterpack3940 How I usually hand this: Give your projectile the variables for the traits you mentioned, and do whatever math and logic you have to do with them. Make those variables "expose on spawn" and "instance editable". When you spawn the projectile from the weapon, those values will now show up as inputs on the "spawn actor from class" node.

@TylerSerino
@TylerSerino 9 ай бұрын
When communicating between blueprints no matter what method you use, you're going to need some sort of reference to the blueprint you're trying to communicate with. How you get it will vary greatly depending on what you're doing. Interfaces let you use a generic reference (or parent class) instead of a direct reference, but at the end of the day you still need a reference. So for a key press, you'll need a variable that holds that reference, but without more info, I can't say for sure how you'd get that referece. IE. you could get all actors of class, you could create a variable thats instance editable and set it in the editor, you could spawn the item you're trying to communicate in, you could have a collision somewhere else in your code and use the "other actor" pin etc. etc.

I've seen a lot of people ask this, and YT vids are too generic to show only basic BPI setup. (I think you passed a bool but unclear for other vars like pass a Player's name to a widget; pass a Sword name to widget.) So A) how to send Actor 1's Variables to Actor 2, without CastTo? B) And thus when to use Input vs Output variables in the BPI? (Are Input vars what we want in Actor 1, to send to Actor 2? Or do we need Outputs to be the var we want to send to Actor 2?) C) And when to use a Call vs Send BPI Message? (Meaning to we put the BPI Call message in Actor 1 or Actor 2? Idk how to send the Variable from Actor 1 to 2.) D) Or which actor do we put a BPI Function in, the Actor 1 that is sending the Var, or Actor 2 that is receiving? Im confused on when to use B, C, D. Thank you.

sorry, there's one thing i don’t get. Your first-person character BP doesn’t have the BPI in it, yet you can load it from the hit detection. How come you can load BPI functions into a BP that didn’t have to add the BPI into the interfaces, but for the button and the door you do need it add it? Same for the electricity one. Does that mean that, you can get the functions of any BPI into any BP, regardless if they are inside the interfaces or not... but that's just a calling, and it won't do anything unless its connected to something from the place is being called from? sorry again if this question sounds confusing :(

You can call blueprint interface functions from basically anywhere, you can sort of think of them as globally accessible. Whoevers CALLING the function/event does NOT need to implement the interface. Whoever is defining functionality and using the function/events for the interface needs to have it implemented. That way, you have a way of clarifying what class you are trying to call the interface function on.

You can do Does Implement BPI, with a proximity check to chose the Nearest actor to Player or Mouse. (I did this for light switches and doors nearby. I step to the closest one that I want to interact with. Each door/light has its own collision box to detect if Player is within reach. But Player decides which gets interacted with first, by getting closer to it.) Also there is a paid asset to add Timelines to components.

"OnInteract" is this a Function or an Event? Usually an Event will have the naming convent "On" "SomethingHappened" like "OnHit" or "OnCollide" etc.... So what is "OnInteract"? Function? Event?

OnInteract by default will be treated like an event because there are no return values. However you can always convert events to functions

@@TylerSerino Aside from returning/not returning a value, what is the difference between an event and a function? Don't they both call into code? When should you use an event VS when should you use a function? I am not sure, I think events are considered asynchronous and functions are considered synchronous?

@@SirPaulMuaddib you are correct that events are asynchronous. This article does a pretty good job of explaining the differences between functions and events in depth pixelsapiens.com/functions-vs-events-in-unreal-engine-4/#:~:text=Events%20cannot%20have%20return%20values,essential%20for%20any%20multiplayer%20game They’re pretty essential for replication and multiplayer, something I don’t deal with often myself. Mainly I find myself using events over functions when I don’t need return values, or am doing any sort of latent action such as using timelines or delay nodes. If I need to return values, store data temporarily in local variables or do anything involving knowing when the execution line ends, I use functions.

I have a weird question: Are these the same thing, if not work the same way as, "Interactable Interfaces" from UE4?

A little bit confused, if you're asking if they work the same as interfaces in UE4, yes they do. If you're saying there was some sort of built in "interact interface" i am unfimiliar with that.
