Probably, I know C++ but haven’t bothered writing any code yet as I’m new UE4 and game development. In fact I’d suggest that people go pick up a book that describes gaming design patterns. I read such a book earlier this year just as I started to learn UE4, and it helped me understand the choices Epic have made when designing the engine. I didn’t even know what a “tick” was back then.
Recently I was trying to zero out the momentum of the player’s character, and it was amazing how good the blueprint node search is in helping me do that. I kept trying each potential function, until I found the one that worked. Was quite surprised how quickly I was able to debug my way into making it do what I wanted.
When I recall the work I was doing 12 years ago into programming software for PDAs- now that was difficult. Stupid Windows CE framework…
I wish the tools I use in my day-to-day work was this intuitive.
