- Blueprints Visual Scripting for Unreal Engine 5: Unleash the true power of Blueprints to create impressive games and applications in UE5

Time saver: I added an image that shows how to setup the subtraction from the player's current ammo in BP_Weapon_Component Blueprint. More importantly, it shows how to get Make Noise (page 272) to work when you fire the gun (UE 5.3). In the Stamina Drain Macro you just need to drag from Noise Maker and get a reference to Self. Also worth noting, I am not sure why on page 273 for the Make Enemies Destructable they went with Get Actor Transform and Spawn Actor Blueprint Effect to play the explosion blueprint. At this point, you have all the tools you need to make it so that when the zombie is killed it plays a death animation and then after a few seconds disappears. It took me about 30 minutes to figure that out based on what the book had previously taught. I also added an image of the Sprinting with Enhanced Input inside the BP_FirstPersonCharacter blueprint and what that will look like. You will still need to do a little bit to get that set up beyond that. Pros: This book offers clear and logical guidance, starting with an overview of the tasks ahead and providing step-by-step instructions. Additionally, it includes high-quality blueprint images to aid comprehension. For those with a computer science background, this resource effectively bridges the gap between your skill set and the practical application of blueprints in an object-oriented programming (OOP) context. Cons: One notable drawback is that the book is based on an earlier version of Unreal 5, predating the current version 5.3.2. As a result, readers may encounter some challenges in following along and may need to engage in problem-solving. However, with perseverance, it is possible to troubleshoot independently. It's worth noting that familiarity with Enhanced Input is required, as it is not covered in the book.

After buying 8... or so books on Unreal Engine can say this is best blueprint book I have. 1. Blueprints are readable in book. This is no joke issue several other most other books the blueprints are grainy black and white. Or so tiny the print press was not able to print the text in nodes. I used a shop magnifier on other books even zoomed in the details were unreadable. 2. Would say decent enough explanation of WHY something is being done versus just do this or do that. Which is a huge problem with UE tutorials. I'm half way in about to start on more advanced topics. Will comment further as to how well that goes. Expensive book I feel like removing star from 5 but won't since its 550 something pages double size most other books. Note: Keep away from some of the older blueprint books the images are completely unreadable, and the code spills over to following pages which this author did no do. A function's code for example is contained on one page. So far so good. Edit as promised reviewing second half book , harder to cover the other more advanced topics but still gave good starting points and overview. Of the 6 books I have this is best blueprint one.

As a newcomer to both Unreal Engine 5 and C++, I was looking for a comprehensive guide to familiarize myself with the Blueprint visual scripting language. Although lacking in some areas, this book largely fulfilled its purpose and working through the FPS project was both interesting and rewarding. My only real issue was that there were a handful of instances throughout the book where you're told what to do to accomplish a given task, but there's little to no explanation as to how each step / node in the process is actually contributing to the whole. This made some of the examples less helpful (at least for me), as it was difficult to apply these lessons when experimenting with cases that were similar yet not identical.

This is an AMAZING guide. Hands down! I have spent the last week watching Youtube videos that didn't really help, they have their place, but they can be super confusing. This written manual is step by step and I am absorbing so much new knowledge for Unreal 5. Thank you again! I really appreciate your hard work. Make sure to continue releasing updated manuals and I will continue being a customer. Take care!

While I appreciated the colored pages, and detailed steps, going through this book I was left a little wanting on the details and explanations behind the steps. I liked that there's a real game that you can build from the steps as well. As others have mentioned, it walks you through what to do, without telling why you did something. Also, as others have mentioned, and mostly because it doesn't explain much, you'll find that some chapters are flat out impossible to duplicate because the steps are based on content and templates that comes with Unreal Engine 5, and those have changed significantly (and I bet they'll change more as time goes by). For those of you that run into this problem, you can go to the GitHub page for this book, and download the project files for a given chapter. The code for each chapter worked for me if I loaded from the GitHub source. Since I tried this book before I dove into the official Docs, and YouTube tutorials, I can say that I was inspired to learn more after reading the book.

I just got this book. I read several negative reviews but most the time its subjective, so I will need to be judge after going through. Most I think its what you make of something, nothing is ever going to be perfect. So far, lots of color photos for examples so we need color in all instructional books and material. Its a nice thick book so hopefully, I am going to get my money's worth. I am sure the world of game development and programing is an endless journey so this is just the tip of an iceberg for this book.

This is the best book for UE5/BP/FPS!

Molto soddisfatto: utile sia per avere una visione di insieme ma anche per avere un veloce riferimento per task frequenti senza dover di volta in volta reinventare la ruota. Ho contattato anche gli autori per chiarimenti e loro mi hanno risposto o meno di una settimana

英語レビューは一体何なのかと思うくらい薄い内容。 驚くレベル。 当方初心者だが、それでもこの薄い内容には驚かされた

Es un buen libro para empezar a programar con blueprints, te muestra con ejemplos conceptos esenciales. Hay muchas reseñas acerca de la calidad de mas fotos, tengo que decir que en la edición actual tienen muchísima calidad.
