Hey, thanks. Worked like a charm.

Got these errors from the compiler after loading the next level, though. Are these because the Title Screen level that utilizes the widget does not have GridManager stuff in it? If so, is there any way or reason to clear and/or suppress these errors? They don’t seem to have any effect on the actual gameplay (my first level loads fine) when I test the game itself.

A few other quick questions I have on my mind, too:

1. How can I modify the camera to act more like a Fire Emblem game’s camera? (As in “fixed camera, 100% overhead view, etc.”).
   I noticed that there is a blueprint called “BP_CameraControls”, but I’m not entirely sure how this interacts with the game and am a bit apprehensive to fiddle with it.
   (I guess it would look somewhat similar to how Hydra’s Lair’s camera looks, but more zoomed out)
   EDIT: Never mind, found out you can easily do this by modifying BP_GridCamera’s position in the blueprint editor and then changing the arm length. Then you can even move bool config values around to remove rotation and zoom.

2. How do I turn off unit rotation? It’s kind of weird seeing my sprites turning upside down and then head-moonwalking towards an enemy lol.
   EDIT: I watched 's “Action System 2/3” Tutorial video and figured out the location of the unit rotation, of which I quickly snapped off and it works as I hoped it would.

3. Is it difficult to change the color or aesthetic appearance of the health bars? If not, where should I look to do that?

Should be all for now. Thanks for the help earlier.

EDIT: I have a feeling that a lot of my problems stems from the fact that I have a pretty good idea of how to accomplish something but I have no idea where things are located. I’ve seen a few videos from your Tutorial Series on YouTube and I noticed a Blueprints explanation video that was 2 hours and 40 minutes long. However, I also noticed that later on in the playlist there’s a video that says you overhauled the Blueprints’ organization in an update after your Blueprints video. Would it still be relevant to watch the Blueprints video, or would I just be better off watching videos from the tutorial past the update video? Or should I do both here?

Thanks again for the response.

Hi Alby, I see you already figured some of this out on your own, but I’ll try to help you with the rest. For your errors, this is likely because you are still using BP_ATBTT as the GameMode for your menu map. BP_ATBTT tries to access the grid manager and fails. Change the game mode in world setting to fix this.

For a top-down camera your solution should work fine, but if you have a 2D game, having an ortographic camera should work even better. Check out my 2D example game in maps/2D. It uses a top-down ortographic camera as well as sprites for units.

Should be simple enough to change the appearance of health bars. Create a duplicate of the health bar material and modify it as you’d like. Then change the material of the healthbar material billboard of your base unit to this new material.
