Hi… i´m confused… in somewhere i have read that BluePrints are for non-developers… but i like to use c++, btw… the only way i´m seeing to do animation for objects is through BP… how is it?.. can i use both or do i´m forced to use only one of them? Let´s say… create a BP event (for instance a TimeLine animation), and then play it from c++ it is possible? excuse me for making this kind of question i know is very basic, but i came from Unity and with Unreal seems to be a bit different the treatment … Thanks… ---

I was meaning something like this! > **[A new, community-hosted Unreal Engine Wiki](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/a-new-community-hosted-unreal-engine-wiki/141494)** > > After over a year in maintenance mode, the official Unreal Engine Wiki is now permanently offline. These resources now live on a new community-run Unreal Engine Community Wiki — https://unrealcommunity.wiki/! You will be able to find content from... can i edit ANY of the BP properties?.. for instance to Play an animation with TimeLine ? ---

You can create events (functions) in C++ which can be overridden by a BP subclass, or you can call BP functions from C++. Generally though your best bet is to use C++ as a foundation and then layer BP on top of that. So its definitely (C++ || BP) ---

Ok, seems that i need to rebuild my concept of using the Engine, because treatment is a bit different than Unity … but it is fine… Thanks for your reply.
