The Most Common Mistake Beginners Make in Unreal Engine | UE5

The Observer Pattern: Software Design Patterns are like a manual on how to write good code, whether you're using Blueprints or C++, knowing good software practices is a MUST! I hope this first video in the series gives you a good intro on what design patterns are and how the observer design pattern can be used. This will be done through the use of "Event Dispatchers". Event dispatchers in unreal engine use delegates, which are an implementation of the pub/sub (observer) pattern. Through blueprints, event dispatchers are available, but have certain limitations that will be touched upon in this series Download the project files and support my channel on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Alizoh Join my Discord server to chat and mingle with the community https://discord.gg/AEnM4wvYzN Additional Resources: https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns/observer https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/observer.html https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.2/en-US/delegates-and-lamba-functions-in-unreal-engine/ Chapters: 00:00 The Problem 00:24 Background Context 00:49 The Mistake 01:38 The Observer Pattern 02:49 The Publisher 04:05 The First Subscriber 07:11 The Second Subscriber 10:19 Summary 11:00 The Benefits 11:40 Coming Soon About me: I've been learning game development for a few years now, I have a background in software engineering, and I also have a background in education, so being able to combine my love of gaming, software engineering and education is the best way to spend my time. I am currently working on a few unreal engine games as a hobby, but I am also trying to build a community, thus I am creating YouTube tutorials to find others who are interested in game development and design. #unrealengine5 #observerPattern #tutorial #unrealengine #ue5 #gamedev #softwaredesign #software #designpatterns #cleancode
