Learn how to use the event graph in Unreal Engine! Learn the theory behind how blueprints work (triggering events, getting references, performing actions, cue feedback, and chaining events) and watch dozens of examples. We cover everything from actor classes, character blueprints, game mode, player controller, game instance, event dispatchers, interfaces, ability systems, actor components, construction script, and more. We go through every type of event in the basic classes and show how to use them to drive gameplay behavior.

//// About this channel ////

Jackson is an Australian ex-chemist and extreme sports athlete turned game developer. This channel is dedicated to providing practical Unreal Engine blueprint tutorials for indie devs who want to make their visions for games a reality.

On this channel we also discuss softer (and sometimes slightly esoteric) concepts related to game development such as productivity, creativity, motivation, business, networking, collaborating with others, etc.

To connect deeper with Jackson and the community please join the Discord server (linked above) and write an introduction. There you can feel free to share what you’re working on, where you need help, and the team can help connect you with the resources and people you might be looking for.

Welcome ☺ ️

//// Are you a producer, publisher, or marketing expert? ////

I am looking for somebody to help me distribute my team’s games to players who would enjoy them. We can make them, and we want you to sell them! If you are interested in a partnership, please write to me on Discord.
