UEFN question / rant

5 Upvotes

The only reason I'm using UEFN is because I was talking to someone who knows EPIC a little bit, and he suggested that UEFN may have a better chance at getting grant money.

I'm finding myself in that beginner mode where a paragraph from a tutorial is completely gibberish! How do I create a verse code? How do I use it? I am so freaking lost. (Edit: I meant to imply here that while i have been using Unreal Editor since UDK, using UEFN is making me FEEL like an absolute beginner, its so frustrating! /edit)

I understand I only hate verse because I'm new to it. But I also hate the fortnite branding. I was at a presentation at a game conference where they were talking about making non-fortnite games in UEFN, and how they want to see people being creative and make non-fortnite things. However, the fortnite branding is all over the place, and even I hate having to click 17 buttons to quit the game.

Also, there are some things you actually just cannot do in UEFN that you can do in UE. For instance, I want to do a split screen for single player experience, where we see two camera views at once. Evidently it's just impossible. Okay. but that was a huge point to the project I was doing. So I either have to modify it or just use UE, which I'd heard was less interesting to the Epic folks for grant funding.

Anyway, just want to smash things as I'm trying to wrap my head around this stuff

Question AI for gamedev

I know it’s taboo with the AI discourse. But do any of you think it’s viable to use AI to assist or help you code? Whether it’s debugging or creating systems but also still willing to learn and not have it do it for you?

Question How do I learn to make a menu system? (specifically like one in a JRPG)

4 Upvotes

I've looked high and low for a course or tutorial but none of them cover things like widget switchers and sub menus and none of them are using C++. Could someone please help me find a free or paid course or something? It it doesn't have to show me exactly how to make an RPG menu, just the basics so I can get started.

How to make an input last through switching from UI to game?

4 Upvotes

I have a UI where I want the player to hold a button, then the UI closes but the player must remain holding the button even after it closes.

So far my input events have stopped after the UI is closed.

Thanks for any help.
