Hello there! I’m pretty new the the community, and i’m trying to go through the documentation…

I was reading through the documentation, and I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been staring at the computer screen for so long, or whether it’s outdated.

Example 1

I’m trying to create a GPUSprite, and I can’t even get past adding it to the emitter. When I right click, I don’t see a lot of the menu’s.

Example 2

Pretty sure there’s some stuff on that page that is outdated.

I’m still getting used to a lot of the tools and everything, but I feel as if the documentation leaves out a lot of “Which part of UE4 am I supposed to be in”

“Right Click This” Doesn’t really help when I don’t know where I’m supposed to right click, in which menu… Because you can select a single static mesh from about 5 different places in the editor. And it gets confusing, especially since I’m navigating back and forth through menus, and tabs.

I absolutely love the engine.

  • Scene out-liner
  • Tabs in-editor
  • Details panel
    • .
All amazing and extremely effective new tools. Again, I'm just starting to ease into the engine, but you're also going to have a lot of people that are doing the same when you release. So figured I should say something. I know it's a beta, so I'm not gonna complain ;)

Thanks!

Ahh, Forgot to finish the description of what’s wrong with example 2…

Basically the Blueprint’s names have changed, or at least I think.
I tried typing them in, and some of the names had just changed, others I couldn’t find. Sorry about that…
Thanks!

Hi Ryan,

You have set this as a “Private” post, but it contains no sensitive information. Do you mind if we make it Public so that others can see it and join in as well?

Thanks

No problem at all :3 I just figured it didn’t needed to be seen, but go ahead!

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your feedback. The first part of your question makes me wonder where you are right-clicking in the Cascade editor. You have to right-click the module to get the options to change its typedata. If you are right-clicking and getting a menu asking if you would like to create a new module, then you are right-clicking in the incorrect place.

The second example is not exactly a tutorial, but an overview of the concept of players activating a “power up”. Could you specify what exactly you are not able to locate? I would be happy to let you know of any changes to names that have been made so that you can continue your work.

Cheers!

Alexander
