[SUPPORT] Advanced Turn Based Tile Toolkit

[Monokkel]

To everyone: ATBTT version 1.82 has been sent to Epic and should hopefully be live soon. It includes several bug fixes as well as the re-adding of the 2D example. The 2D example has been remade from scratch using many of the new systems introduced in 1.8, including the action system and the GridObjects array. Check it out if you need inspiration for ways to have interactable objects and tiles as well as fog-of-war ++ Big unit support has also been improved, though is still experimental.

@ Thank you so much for the recommendations. I checked Udemy and they’re actually having one of those sales right now for Mother’s Day where it’s $10. I went ahead and picked it up for future use. I’m gonna start on Python with Codecademy and move on to learning blueprints from there. Cheers.

Ok, sounds good. As mentioned the tutorials there are on sale more than half the time, so it is really just a sly marketing trick to increase their percieved value. Thankfully the actual practical value is still much higher than what you pay for the tutorial on sale.

@OperatorCrux I would second what said in every way. That is an awsome answer. I am myself in excactly your shoes, I started watching some Java-tutorials before I knew about UE4 but it still helped a ton with the basic programming concepts. Also, two things I would add.

1. Give it time. It will sink in eventually, even though you have no idea what is what at the beginning. I’m just now starting to understand this toolkit somewhat but sometimes it’s hard not to get frustrated because of something not working and you can’t understand why. Which leads me to…
2. Stick with it. Eventually you will find the answer. Walk away when you feel it get’s too boring, come back later. I was just now when starting working on this toolkit banging my head for like 1 month at one problem, which turned out to be an engine bug. Was super boring just debugging and debugging but I realize now when it’s done that it gave me a lot of understanding, deeper understanding than when everything works on your first try

Also, take my advice with a grain of salt as I’m still just a n00b

Some good input for motivation, Mivke. If any of you are interestred I did a write-up on my experience of developing and releasing this toolkit soon after it was done. At that point I had used UE4 for a bit less than a year, so closer to where you guys are now.
