RTS Game with Blueprint

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

Hey Guys! I’ve just moved on to Unreal Engine from Unity3d. I followed all the tutorials, especially related to blueprints in UE4. I just want to build a Strategy Game (RTS) based entirely on Blueprints. Is it possible?

I googled a lot but haven’t found any tutorials regarding RTS concepts inside UE4. If you guys know about any of them. Please let me know. It would really help me get started.

Just need those basic concepts of RTS such as

  • display the health of the player on a bar attached to it on top.
  • select the player with mouse left-click and right mouse click to move it to a specific location.

and things like that. I’m gonna try it out myself for the time being. See if it gets me anywhere. And I’ll keep posting.

But any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

search this forum and answer hub, better than google in the wild.
There have been quite a few threads with this exact topic in the past, so definitely you can find some help here.

One of the starting templates might get you somewhere as well (might require a 4.3.1 update), it has one with a top down view that lets you click somewhere and the character moves to that position.

Good luck!
