Hello guys and welcome to my Unreal Engine 5, Blueprint For Advanced users Course. In this video I will explain and cover over more advanced topics in Blueprints. We will cover over what are Blueprint Interfaces, and how to use them. And we will compare using blueprint interfaces vs casting, and why casting can be bad for performance. We will cover over many other advanced topics in this video, things like functions, macros, ticks, and much more! Let me know what you guys think about this blueprints series, this is the 3rd and final video in this series.

Instead of the E-key at 7:44, why aren't you using Input Action? Isn't that better and more manageable? I see that you do it later on, but isn't the way you did at 7:44 bad practice now? Or only the one in Project settings? Thanks for your great vid though! You explain well.

Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm glad someone is out there doing these video's again/still. Often times people familiar with blueprint forget to mention key details because they're so simple and common, that beginners get a little lost. So it's always good to see several perspectives of individual processes.

@AncientGuy2000 Ай бұрын

That info on casting vs interface is a golden nugget right there!

@AlexDicy 3 ай бұрын

One note on the "don't use cast nodes for everything because you're loading more memory": sure, but it's fine to use casting if you're checking for the player, for instance, because the player blueprint is already going to be loaded in memory anyway. Avoid the opposite: casting weapons/other stuff from the player blueprint, because it's going to load 99% of your game at the start, like Smart Poly said in the video. Casting is not "very bad", it's useful and can be performant

@LaynaStambaugh Ай бұрын

This is true, but there are also other potential issues; when you "cast" a specific blueprint of a character, you're essentially forcing yourself to ALWAYS use that blueprint if you don't want to refactor all the casts that reference it (which, in a large project, could easily number in the dozens.) Casting is a scalability time bomb just waiting to happen. Interfaces are both simpler AND more versatile

For the door timeline at 10:56 isn't it better to use play and stop instead? That way if the door is interacted midway through the rotation, it will reverse immediately, instead of causing the door to snap to start or end angles?

I haven't finished the video yet but let me tell you the size and references explanations after doing the door interface are so valuable. I can't remember how many times when learning unity i had like 10fps or my memory was full while doing a simple room with controls and 5 or 6 objects just because of the crap, unoptimized code that most tutorials show you on youtube. As a software engineer getting my feet wet in game dev i really appreciate videos like these. Specially when working with games which are so taxing on the resources.

@antoniocribari Ай бұрын

All three of these tutorials are incredible. I do have a request and would love for you to explain when you WOULD want to use casting as opposed to a BPI. While it has a performance cost, when would we actually want to use casting as opposed to a BPI in a larger scale game? I imagine it still has its uses. Your previous tutorials showed casting for pretty much everything which helped a lot in understanding logic flow, but now I want to know when Casting is a wiser option than an interface. You did mention your zombie game and that it was fine to use since it was smaller and the assets were loaded anyways, but when would we want to do a hybrid situation?

if i understand it correctly, macros are basically Node Folders. unlike a parameter where the nodes inside it only exists once, a macro stores all the nodes and if multiple of the same macro exist all those nodes get duplicated. so macros are just node folders, right?

If you use a blueprint interface but then save that reference as a variable, does it retain the entire actor in memory still? I assume it does, right?

@beanutgames 3 ай бұрын

Does that also affect what the reference viewer displays?

@rancheraosborne 2 ай бұрын

Yes, doesn't matter the use of it or if it is a variable or not, if you cast it inside of the blueprint, it creates a hard reference and will always be loaded. In the video I think h doesn't explain it well, casting is not necessarily bad, depending what you are casting from and to. Casting from character to animation blueprint or game mode is totally fine. Casting from a door blueprint to the character, it is fine because the character will always be loaded in map/screen anyway. The problem comes when casting FROM the player to any other random blueprint like a door, a weapon, a lever.... your character will be creating hard references to objects that might not be used in this level. Making the character blueprint quite heavy for no reason.

@powerpc6037 20 күн бұрын

If you have 1000 items spawned in your world, which all use casting to your player character, will it load your player character 1000 times (consuming 127MB x 100 = 12.7Gb of memory) or only once, and reference that same character instance everywhere? If it's loaded only once, having objects casting to your player wouldn't matter that much since it's already loaded as you need that player to play the game, but vice versa (the player casting to all other object types in the game), that could be an issue when you have 1000 weapons and armor pieces like an MMORPG for example. It would then load all those items in the game while only having 1 weapon equipped. Also I guess having collision boxes on every item would make the engine loop through them every frame to see if your character is intersecting them and this will impact performance, while having a trace just being done once when you press a button would massively increase performance. Also having the E keypress in every object would mean that key must be processed in every blueprint every frame as well, impacting performance even more, just to check if it's being pressed and if something should be executed.
