Hello everybody! I have a question, being new to this and working along with youtube videos and chatGPT. I have been trying to make a door open and based on chatGPT’s proposal, I would have to make a blueprint for Door, use the one for my character and one interface as a common ground between the …

That’s just because I can’t find a vid with both. You can get the door concept from one, and the interface concept from the other. Because it’s early days, you might find that the crucial reason for using interfaces escapes you for a while yet. That’s because you have to go through the experience o…

This is why GPT is garbage :smiley: Better of with this [Learn How to Open and Close Doors in Unreal Engine 5] followed by this ( if you want to use an interface ) [Blueprint Interfaces | Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial] There is also an AI assistant here [image] Don’t know …

@ClockworkOcean From what I see, he didn’t use any interfaces for that door, while even if chatGPT sucks, he gave me a good reason to use them. Practically it is reusable once I set it. Should I not work it like that and go with something simpler? I have seen many tutorials, several solutions but on…

I was thinkning of removing entirely the open and close functions and connect directly to the branch, would that be oversimplifying?

In the beginning, anything that makes it work :smiley: So, yes, try that. Just put a ‘flipflop’ on the interface call.

You mean before the branch? I have never heard of that flipflop thingy

Like this [image] But this is what I mean with interfaces. They are totally actor independent, so you would never call it ‘open door’, because ‘interact’ is more generic and can be used anywhere, on anything :slight_smile:

Ohh so Flip flop allows you to connect practically one execution pin to more of them. For my character I worked it like that and not with a trace line and aside from the End overlap where I shouldn’t connect the other actor with the set Current interactable pin in the last node, does it look ok? So…

I will be at home in about 4 hours and won’t be able to get near my laptop for a total of about 6 hours because I will play with my son so that my wife relaxes a bit. Till then unfortunately I won’t be able to give you the results :smiley: but you have already goven me more than ChatGPT (not that he…

@ClockworkOcean I was thinking, what if instead of flip flop I just connect the True execution pin to play and the False to Reverse on Timeline node directly from the branch? Is that bad practice?
