I sadly hit a wall when it came to the structuring and implementing of the database structure that are used to call and draw inventories and events. I understand everything I need to do but I get very lost when I have to recall the syntax used in C++. I understand that there has to be a repository being called and that I have to assign it an id while it is in the cloud and a new id when it is in the scene and I have to then record that the id has been rendered in and cannot be drawn again by blocking it and&#8230;I think you get it. I brough up my issues with a few collogues (Thank you Laurie!) and I followed their advice and signed up for an even more beginner centric Unreal C++ class from Udemy online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This part covered the second and third points. But lets start with the tutorials. AMAZING!!! I made an used the blueprint system to legit make triggers, tokens, events, lighting, collision and so much more with the help of Unreal&#8217;s tutorials. they even have live online tutorials every day. I&#8217;m blown away by community and how everything is just so simple to understand. I even jumped into the new Unreal 5 and tested out the new preloaded terrain to make a cave and played with the sun (its addicting to play with).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I even recorded all my hours doing this (Thank you Professor Yarbrough for making me clock my hours!) and I spend roughly 20 hours total on this alone. Could I have done more? Absolutely! But I chose to help my loving wife take care of our brand new home and take care of some very pressing issues that could not wait. I&#8217;m very happy with what I&#8217;ve learned and what I&#8217;m going to learn.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m trying my best to recall if I had 6 different sessions of personal practice.
