Welcome to Part 8 of our Unreal Engine C++ introduction series! šŸŽ®
In this episode, we take a closer look at three core systems inside the First-Person Shooter template:

āœ… Weapon Component – how firing mechanics are handled and attached to the player.
āœ… GameMode Class – the rules that define your game’s flow and objectives.
āœ… PlayerController Class – how input is processed and translated into player actions.

If you’ve been following the series, this video will help you understand how these classes connect together to create the foundation of gameplay in Unreal Engine.

šŸ’” Whether you’re just starting out in C++ for Unreal or looking to strengthen your understanding of core classes, this video will give you practical insights you can use in your own projects.
