UE4 Tutorial: Class Explainer

1. this tutorial is backbone of ue4

2. Great video!

   Do anyone here have any ideas where I could learn more about game framworks? Level loading systems, saving, best practices for game modes/controllers, c++ classes etc?

   I’m working professionally in games, but I really need to get a better grasp of what goes where, and what is most optimized to do when by what. Haha.

   Thanks in advance.

3. Could use more elaboration on Player State

4. nice wrapping it up, i've few prototypes and still have vague image of some of those as i've never made a multiplayer XD

5. UE4 Tutorial: Class Explainer
   Thanks.

6. very useful 🖤🖤

7. Absolutely excellent tutorial. Thank you sooo much!

8. TL;DR:
   class GameInstance: exists for the whole lifetime of the game
   class GameMode: exists for the duration of the level only (?). Exists only for the server side
   class GameState: client counterpart to the GameMode.
   class PlayerController: gathers inputs for a player, has a reference to a controlled Pawn(s). Client specific (?). One PlayerController can define control for multiple player Pawns (ex: gta: walking, driving, flying, same controller, different Pawns)
   class Pawn: player or IA controlled entity with a spatial representation in the world
   class Caracter: subtype of Pawn, with some basic movement functionalities
   class PlayerState: player specific data shared across all machines for networked games
   class HUD: attached to a PlayerController, can be used to store player specific variables (?)
   class SpectatorPawn: subtype of Pawn with flight movement
   class Level: client specific, NOT replicated, one per level, good place for level specific variables. Very useful because it can reference objects that are part of the level directly.

   Thanks for the awesome tutorial, would have spared me a day or so of messing around had I watched it before!

9. Why would each level has its own game mode? And what kind of information do game instances preserve?

10. holy cow.. I've been working on a game for a couple of weeks and was trying to figure all this out on my own.. so much time wasted. Thank you for uploading this, it was incredibly helpful!

11. Can You please create a small game playlist which will use all of this class in some sort of way? It would be really great to understand each one of them in practice. I always struggles about deciding where to put my code and then end up editing most of the time.

12. Why was it so hard to find a concise explanation as to what the player controller did?

13. you are a gentleman and a scholar!

14. This is the most clear explanation I've seen so far on this topic.

15. Thanks for that man. I have been actively working in UE4 since Sep2020, but how do I wish I had stumbled on this video earlier. It could have saved a lot of nerves.

16. Must see before you get into UE4

17. Those likes though. Very very very Gooooood

18. Great video! Sharing this out. Take notes and subscribe!

19. This is so underrated. Deserves more attention. Well done.

20. Can you plz make a tutorial on currency system

21. Im moving from unity to unreal because of network and unity is, hum, we shouldnt talk about that. And thank you so much for that video, i'm that lazy boii who script everything in a really messy way, and i usually end up with just like 2 or 3 scripts files on my unity games with just everything in em, so my first step on unreal are really difficult, i really needed to understand the class organization of unreal
