This tutorial will guide you through the basics of using Blueprint, a powerful tool in the Unreal Engine for creating interactive environments and gameplay mechanics.

Prerequisites

  • Basic understanding of Unreal Engine
  • Familiarity with C++ or Blueprints visual scripting system

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open Unreal Engine and create a new project.
  2. Create a new Blueprint Class by selecting "Blueprint Class" from the "Add New" menu in the content browser.
  3. Design your Blueprint using the visual scripting interface. You can drag and drop nodes from the node palette to create logic and control flow.
