UEC++ From Basics to Advanced | M36-002: Creating a Blank Project

This lesson guides you through creating a new blank Unreal Engine 5.4 C++ project for the GAS capstone. You will set up a C++ project with the basic configuration needed for GAS development, including the required module dependencies in the .Build.cs file and proper project structure. The instructor shares insights from working with Lyra and GAS projects, noting that more recent updates tend to be more accurate. You will configure the project settings to enable the GameplayAbilities, GameplayTasks, and GameplayTags modules, and set the appropriate Unreal Engine version compatibility. A solid project foundation is essential for the complex GAS development ahead. This setup ensures all required engine modules are available from the start, preventing build errors later in the development process.
