I’ve just started to use unreal engine and I’m following some tutorials on your website when strangely the blueprint quickstart didn’t work. I tryed to do it several times but it still doesn’t work. can someone try it and tell me if it’s my problem or the tutorial is outdated

Many parts of the documentation are incomplete to say the least…

Example: [Tick at This Time | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/BlueprintAPI/Components/GeometryCache/TickatThisTime/index.html)

What is Backwards? what is the time parameter? No information at all.

This may be some very specific function but this is just one of the examples. Here’s another one:

Hi Guys i tried to search informations about the top down template. But i never get how this is setup. I want to understand how the events/blueprints/actors are working together, to make this movement by mouse clicking. But i was not able to find anything in the world settings, for example the PlayerConroller Class, its set to None by default.

I understand the state-machine and the blend space animation to and the setting of the speed variable.

But why is something happe by mous-click also in prject-settings the mouse is not considered.

And when i try to study CursorToWorld class the search does not help…

I’m not sure what you were trying to point out, Abgaryan FX, but I’ve noticed in Chrome (80.0.3987.163) that the before/after examples in the documentation show up like what your screenshot shows. I really like that there are before and after examples of properties but would be great if seeing what those examples were trying to point out was easier.

Microsoft Edge (80.0.361.109) displays the before picture on top of the after picture, for at least the Moveable lights documentation, though.

**Was able to make the examples in the Moveable lights documentation work by refreshing the page a few times in both Chrome (version mentioned above) and Edge.**

I’m currently studying this page: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…1/2/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/Tutorials/FirstPersonShooter/1/2/index.html)  
and i set the platform to Linux in the header, but still visual studio is used … this is available for Linux? And screens show, the developer is using windows …

So when you use [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…tor/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Platforms/Linux/BeginnerLinuxDeveloper/SettingUpQtCreator/index.html)  
You have to install qtcreator and 10gb of data … you will definitiely only ~2gb of it …  
Make a Deal with Qt, a pure IDE

I could find out that there are myn hooks for the content to install, but how can I know, what UnrealEngine will need?!  
Hopefully nothing of it …

The newer Versions of Qt have different gui-layout, different from what you show …

Finally Compiling I found a warning: Extras/ThirdPartyNotUE/SDKs/HostLinux/Linux\_x64/v15\_clang-8.0.1-centos7/x86\_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/x86\_64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: /home/nikolai/UE4/UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/ThirdParty/FBX/2018.1.1/lib/gcc4/x86\_64-unknown-linux-gnu/release//libfbxsdk.a(fbxutils.o): in function `fbxsdk::FbxPathUtils::GenerateFileName(char const\*, char const\*)':

(.text+0x4b8): warning: the use of `tempnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp’

I’m pretty sure, you dont want this. (CleanCode)

And can you tell me, why i have to rebuild UE4, I built it before using the shell-scripts.  
Why I cant just run it with qt … It just started building when i clicked run.

You really should mention this in your qt-inetgration article: [[https://forums.unrealengine.com/deve...essor-on-linux](https://forums.unrealengine.com/deve...essor-on-linux)

or this:]([Configuring source code accessor on linux - C++ - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/c-gameplay-programming/1347276-configuring-source-code-accessor-on-linux))[GitHub - fire-archive/QtCreatorSourceCodeAccess](https://github.com/fire/QtCreatorSourceCodeAccess)

But I’m wondering I cannot find this plugin from UnrelEdtior Plugin Menue.

Meanwhile in qtcreator the %{buildDir}-Variable did not work, i had to use absolute path

So I concluded you can forget about using newest version of UE and qt with the mentioned plugin from [fire (K. S. Ernest (iFire) Lee) · GitHub](http://github.com/fire).  
I have no source-code-accessor and the compile button is not available.

So I can see my sources in qt, but they are different:  
[https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…1/2/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/Tutorials/FirstPersonShooter/1/2/index.html)  
my editor shows not \*GameMode.cpp but \*GameModeBase.cpp  
same for headers.  
Hopefully this difference is up to new version of UE i use: UE4.24.2-0

I would use KDevelop, but many problems reported …

Unable to compile the additions in the FPS tutorial 2.7: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…2/7/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/Programming/Tutorials/FirstPersonShooter/2/7/index.html)

The section header says the version is 4.15 (works only for 4.15?, works 4.15+?, this is unclear). Anyways I’m running 4.22.3 and this doesn’t compile 😕

After looking into the camera problem further, I noticed from here ([UCameraComponent | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/Camera/UCameraComponent/index.html)) that the UCameraComponent requires the `#include Camera/CameraComponent.h` file. This is nowhere specified in the documentation, and I’m assuming that h-file was included in the given includes for different versions … It’s worth noting which versions specific tutorials have been tested on.

Thanks

and when i then try to compile GetCapsuleComponent() returns USceneComponent instead of necessary type UCapsuleComponent.

I tried to cast, but then engine crashes.

added this header: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…ent/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/API/Runtime/Engine/Components/UCapsuleComponent/index.html)  
to make polymorphism recognized, compiles, but engine crashes.

fixed i added functions not to the constructor, shame on me 😉 but the headers are still necessary, maybe this is up to the visual code prj settings.

while importing: **HeroFPP.fbx**  
“Failed to merge bones”  
but seems to work.

3.2 12. Double-click the **BP\_FPSCharacter** icon to open it in the **Blueprint Editor**. Is wrong  
you need to click BP\_FPSProjectile

I needed to import HeroFPP a second time, but finally I made the tutorial working under Linux.
