Study Notes
Unreal Engine's Visual Scripting System
- Unreal Engine's Blueprint Visual Scripting system is a complete gameplay scripting system based on a node-based interface.
- Blueprints use nodes,events, functions, and variables connected with wires to create complex gameplay.
- Blueprints use graphs of nodes to implement behavior and functionality.
Common Blueprint Types
- Level Blueprints: Associated with individual levels, they manipulate actors, manage cinematics, control level streaming, and interact with Blueprint Classes.
- Blueprint Classes: Used to create interactive assets like doors, switches, and collectible items. They respond to player events, animate, and play sound effects.
Construction Scripts
- Construction Scripts within Blueprint Classes execute when an actor is placed or updated, enabling faster creation of customizable props.
Blueprint Script
- Blueprint script is similar to Blueprint Classes and can create a game's HUD.
Blueprint Editor
- Blueprint Editors offer a graph mode for laying out the network of a Blueprint.
Blueprint Elements
- Variables: Data types like Boolean, integer, and float are color-coded for easy identification.
- Reference Types: Hold objects, actors, and classes.
Blueprint Execution
- Events are executed using a white execution wire, and data flows through colored wires matching variable types.
- Input pins evaluate output pins, while pure nodes reevaluate outputs when connected.
Blueprint Flexibility
- Blueprint provides designers with a range of scripting tools typically available to programmers.
- C++ programmers can create baseline systems that designers can extend using Blueprints.
Types of Blueprints
- Data-Only Blueprint: Contains only code, variables, and components inherited from its parent.
- Blueprint Interface: A collection of functions that can be added to other blueprints, ensuring consistent functionality.
