Part 2, Starting at one hour in (50:40 Tilesets)

• I am going to stop at 1:43, the UI.
• He begins by showing us how to turn an image into a tileset.
• And how to add collision to the tile set.
  • Don't panic if you can't keep up with what he marks, at 54:38 he shows you how to see what you have marked.
• You then build a or tilemap
  • Boy is that outside of what I want to do.
• I had a problem for a while and kept falling out of my map.
  • This means I had to keep navigating back to my start position.
  • Which is a pain.
  • So I set a couple of Bookmarks.
    • Set the camera where you want it.
    • Press ctl-0 through ctl-9 to set the bookmark.
      • You can also select the drop down menu in the upper left hand corner of the viewing wind.
      • Select bookmarks
      • Set a bookmark.
      • 
    • press 0 through 9 to go to that bookmark.
  • I as also having problems with the collision capsule.
    • I am bad a positioning things.
    • So I made it visible in the game.
    • Go the the Player Base Blueprint.
    • Select the CapsuleComponent
    • Go down to Visible on the right hand side.
    • Uncheck Hidden in Game
    • 
    • Now a nice box shows up around Mr Froggie.
  • My real problem turned out to be that I did not place my map in the x-z plane with y = 0, I had y at some other value.
    • And I was lucky he was colliding at all.
  • Turn off your debugging information.
  • By the way, debugging is debugging!
• Animation is next, yeah a little programming...
  • He uses an event tick.
    • This is something that happens ever "tick" in the game.
    • DO NOT put anything computationally intensive on this.
    • DO NOT put too many computations on this.
    • Your game WILL LAG.
  • A sequence is just a series of steps.
    • reference
    • This could be accomplished sort of by a hooking things up in series.
      • I built myself the following debug tool.

      • int  iteration = 0
        sequence 0:
                    prnt "Hello"
                    Sleep 0.1
                    print "world" + iteration
                 1:
                    print "Iteration" + iteration
                    iteration++
                       

      • 
    • You can try to read fast, or you can open a log window.
      • Window->Developer Tools ->Log Window
      • 
      • This will bring up the output
      • 
    • We can see, from the output, that these are executing "in parallel"
      • But this matches the description in the man page.
  • By the way, highlight a series of nodes, right click on one and select Alignment -> Straighten Connection
  • By the way, he is my hero at 1:20 when he introduces functions.
    • As you finish sections of code, refactor it.
• I am not going to go over his code in detail.
  • If you have questions, you should ask.
• He then build an enum and cleans up code based on it.
• He adds a basic health system too.
• Next Time User Interfaces.
