Line traces can be great tools when needing to get information from hit objects or to understand other relational data through a raycast.
In this example we'll make a basic material with a couple parameters and update them with C++
MoveComponentTo is a really simple function inside the Kismet System Library for moving components to different locations inside an actor.
Quick simple example of how to use BindRaw to bind to a delegate created in another class
Just like Event Dispatchers, delegates are a great way to communicate with different actors and classes throughout the program.
Timelines are extremely useful throughout game development and provide a lot of utility in Unreal.
Interfaces are great to use when you need different actors listening for event calls.
Using forward declarations in your header files allows you to reference classes not yet loaded or included.
Quick snippet on how to use OpenLevelBySoftObjectPtr to change levels/maps in Unreal Engine 5
When renaming a file a Blueprint using that file as a parent might lose it's class binding. Using [CoreRedirects] inside the DefaultEngine.ini file can help resolve that issue.
There's a great post I came across on how to make parallax scrolling materials in Unreal Engine and I wanted practice a little bit on how to access some material information from C++.
