Beginners Intro to UE5 - Create a Game in 3 Hours in Unreal Engine 5

Bravo, very well done tutorial. I found it very educational and was able to complete this using Unreal 5.2. Quite impressive this is relevant 2 years later and speaks to the quality of your content. 10/10

Wow, knocking out a game in just 3 hours with UE5? This is pure gold! It’s like you’ve put the rapid in rapid prototyping.

I’m diving into the Unreal world myself, exploring the nooks and crannies of game dev. Tutorials like this are just what the doctor ordered for anyone hungry to learn. Your tutorial is a mini-masterclass and I’m all here for it. Can’t wait to dive in and, down the line, share my own misadventures in game development. Keep these gems coming!

I couldn't finish the Creating Widget Blueprint step. UE 5.3 crashed when I created the text box, clicked "Is Variable", and then switch to Graph from Designer view. Crashed right when I clicked "Graph" in the upper right.

I’m already lost on this add C++ Pawn Class.
I don’t have an SNL file and by workspace didn’t have a Game/ before the name

From what I can tell, the original OnHit function didn't work properly because it needed to be lead by UFUNCTION(). None of your fixes for it worked, so I went on with the video and saw you include it in the item's onOverlapBegin. Went back and tried it and, sure enough, that solved the problem for me.

What was nice about this video is it gave me a better idea of when C++ isn't worth the effort compared to blueprints. Something guides only teaching you about BP really don't convey well in my opinion.

In the "fixing player class" part of the video you have 2 errors, you dont talk about the second error but after your fix for the first one the second error isnt going away for me. If anybody knows how to fix this plz tell me.

Thank you for putting your IDE in to presentation mode. Many people do not do this, and it makes coding videos even more tedious to follow along than they already are.

Really nice tutorial (as far as I have watched), but the audio of the video is very low, even with my speakers maxed out it is still difficult to hear you. I'm unfortunately now looking for other tutorials.

Yep... that's why so much indie crap is released.... They also watched a tutorial on how to make a game in a certain time and thought that's sbout it... 🤷‍♂️

Hello, nice tutorial there. Love the way you are explaining the nitty gritty details.
But around the 34 minutes. when I try to build the project, I face this issue where it says

-WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 6

here is the full error.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB3073 The command "G:\UE_5.1\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat DevEnabledEditor Win64 Development -Project="F:\UnrealEngineLearningProject\DevEnabled\DevEnabled.uproject" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 6. DevEnabled E:\VisualStudioCommunity\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v170\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 44


can you help please? it is frustrating to stuck here

Does anyone experience problem with GetForwardVector() in MoveForward() function? As soon as I try to play the engine crashes.
Some first lines of crash report:

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000280

UnrealEditor_Engine!USceneComponent::GetForwardVector() [D:\build\++UE5\Sync\Engine\Source\Runtime\Engine\Private\Components\SceneComponent.cpp:1653]
UnrealEditor_BallRoller_patch_10!ABallRoller_Player::moveForward() [D:\Unreal Projects\BallRoller\Source\BallRoller\Game\BallRoller_Player.cpp:64]

Edit:
The same goes for GetRightVector()

Is this video up today? will it work?

Where does one get the initial project files for this? they're not on Patreon, nor linked in the info under the video.

Hi! I tried opening this project after cloning it from a friends git repo. I get a problem saying that the module project name are missing or built with a different version. Do you know what might have caused this?

Super good tutorial. The goal of the video is to actually learn something, instead of just following someones instructions.

This tutorial was well detailed. Earned a sub. I can confirm this is legit.
