Hello out there!
I’m new to UE5, and just done a couple of gameprojects. In my latest gametest i have som “statbars”, like stamina, health, hunger, and i can pick up some objects lying on the ground, which will then refresh the bars and those regular survivalstuff all have seen everywere. My question is, before i get to long in the project, what is the “correct” way of setting up objects. I know it’s a big question to ask, but i havn’t seen any good examples on it. I’m trying to look on youtube, and other forums, but i just can’t find the right topic.
What i mean is like… If you are a character, when should it be a good way of using interfaces for other objects, and when should i use casting? And also, let’s say there will be 3 pickable objects, all do different things, and you could maybe eat one object, and the other 2 you can not eat, but perhaps use for firestarting. How would you do then with variables for those items? Should all 3 items have the same kind of variables, like a structure or how to bigger games look like? All i have found on the internet is that it’s hard to tell when you should use what. But there must be some kind of basic rules? Let’s say you have a character that can pick up different items, and those items give the caracter different “things”, just like in many games. How are bigger games build?
A very fuzzy question, i know. But it would be really nice to see how a big game works with variables, connections etc in a drawing or something. Then it would be easier to understand. Anyone have any basic rules they wanna share?
Thanks
