We will call this variable TestEndLocation. Click the symbol + beside the variables and this will create a new variable. In the left side of the screen in the lowest section we have the option of adding new components for our graph. We are going to create the following variables for our lift. These properties can be accessible internally to the Blueprint containing them, or they can be made accessible externally so that their values can be modified by designers working with instances of the Blueprint placed in a level” (Unreal Engine, 2019)Ĭheck Unreal documentation here to have a better understanding of what the variables are. “Variables are properties that hold a value or reference an Object or Actor in the world. Well, in the Construction Script we build the car, and the Event Graph is the key that starts the engine. The fact that the car has an engine and wheels does not imply that the car is moving in the road, you need to start the engine with a key in order to make the car move. To understand the difference between them think of a car. In order to have the platform moving in our game we have to do some programming in the Construction Script and the Event Graph.
You can drag now the blueprint in your scene and will behave like a normal sprite. You can minimize your blueprint window for now. Now Add a new component Scene and call it Root and drag this Root on the PaperSpriteĪbove your viewport Compile and Save. Now, with the Paper sprite selected we move to the right side of our screen to the Details Panel and in the Sprite section we search for the sprite we created in the beginning of this tutorial and select it.ĭrag the Paper sprite in your Components panel in the left hand side of the screen in the DefaultSceneRoot. Unfold this tab and type Sprite and select PaperSprite. In the left top corner of our screen we see the Add Component tab in green colour. Now if you double-click in your blueprint You will open all the information about the Blueprint and the Construction Script, the Event Graph, and the Viewport of the Blueprint.Īt this moment is not much going on, everything is pretty empty and the blueprint does not even have an image. This will open a new menu where you have to select a Blueprint Class Actor Right-click in an empty space and select Blueprint Class Still in the content Browser find the Blueprints Folder. Now from this texture create a New Sprite and drag the sprite to the Sprites Folder
Travel to your Texture Folder in the Content Browser, right-click on the texture and select from the menu Duplicate and Rename the texture conveniently so you can identify it easily. I like to do it this way this so I can do as many modifications to the platform as I want without affecting the fixed platforms, as having a different material applied, or diferent sizes. We are going to start by duplicating the texture that we already have for our platforms. To do this we will have to give our first steps in the Event Graph and the Construction Script and start to create some Variables.

Having the platforms as Blueprints will allow us to give these platforms instructions of how to behave. Here we will create Blueprints for our moving platforms. This tutorial is the second part of the Platforms tutorial.
