Hey I cant thank you enough for all of that! Saturday I got some time and went through the tutorial you posted, I havnt yet renamed them, but I changed and moved all of the functions to API2. Did that to make sure to keep track of which ones I have finished. So i do have a question for ya, I noticed in a bunch of the functions they weren’t set up the same as before and it appeared to me at the time that these either couldnt be changed or should be changed differently from your described process? Below is a picture of the changes i made with the events being shown, the next is a picture of one of those functions I was talking about. All of your time and advice is extremely appreciated! Thanks in advance 
I forgot to ask, I also was wondering exactly what to do with the save component? IE, is it a problem that the setup node has an input pin for the save component? Do i just ignore that setup pin and not put the save component in the game state?
Thanks again!
