Unreal Engine 5.7 - Understanding Blueprints (Beginner · Part 1) - Tutorial

In this tutorial, we dive into the heart of Unreal Engine: Blueprints. Part 1 of this beginner-friendly series teaches you how Blueprints work, covering Nodes, Variables, Actors, and how to build your first interactive game logic. We create a hovering platform you can control with keyboard or gamepad, while explaining why each step is done this way – not just “follow along”.
