How to add a game character to a UE4 scene

Foreword

In the previous article, I organized the relevant content of how to develop Android in UE4.Today, I will tell you how to add game characters to UE4 scenes.

Steps

This article does not involve code, so it looks relatively simple, so I won't talk nonsense, and this is the beginning.

Create a subclass of Character

In the UE4 editor, open File - New C++ Class.

Select Character type, I'm here to name this subclass that inherits from the Character type: Hero.

After creation, your VS project will have two more files, Hero.h and Hero.cpp, which I will explain to you in the next article.

Import resources

Then add the downloaded resources to the project you want to import.

After importing,There will be an additional resource AnimStarterPack in your project.

Create a blueprint class for the character

In the UE4 editor, open window - Developer Tools - Class Viewer to create a blueprint class.

Search me inThe Hero class created above, then right-click to create the blueprint class BP_Hero.
