  It's important to save your files! If you don't save before compiling, your changes will not be reflected!
  
  Throughout this section, I work with "Auto save" enabled inside VS Code.
  
  You can find this under file > Auto save.

• 6. A note about red underlines .html

  (Right click the image and open in a new tab to view full sized image)

  If you get the following in the next lecture where you have a red unline under the include for <iostream>

  

  Then do the following:

  First, if you haven't done so already, open the folder to where you have saved TripleX.cpp in VS Code via File > Open Folder

  

  Next open the Command Palette (Ctrl + Shift + P) and select Edit Configurations (UI)

  

  From here use the drop down menu in Compiler Path and select the compiler you are using

  

  If the compiler isn't detected use the Developer Command prompt and type "where cl" and copy and paste its output there instead (you can right click after highlighting to copy otherwise use Ctrl + C)

  

  If you are unable to enter it in the UI then you will have to enter directly into the c_cpp_properties.json.
  To do that first open that file which you can do by clicking the link here

  

  Then add the following inside "configurations"

  "compilerPath": "Path",

  Replacing "Path" with the actual path to your compiler. For example

  

  If your path has backslashes (\) then you will need to add extra or replace them with forward slashes e.g.

  "C:\Users\Dan"

  Would need to either be "C:/Users/Dan" or "C:\\Users\\Dan"

• 43. Loading Words At Runtime .html

  WARNING: The following content is optional and more advanced. If it doesn't make sense to you now, please skip over and revisit once you have finished the course.

  Instead of massively bloating compile times by making a huge array of words. You can instead shift that to runtime by loading the words into the array at BeginPlay with FFileHelper::LoadFileToStringArray.

  First remove all the C++ syntax from the HiddenWordList.h header file so you just have a list of words separated by newlines e.g.

  a
      ability
      able
      about
      ...
      

  Since it's no longer a header file and just a regular text file it makes sense to give it the .txt file extension so rename it to HiddenWordList.txt. As it's now no longer source code it should be moved somewhere else; create a folder in the Content directory called "WordLists" (or whatever you want) and move it there.

  Now for the code.

  First create a TArray<FString> member variable in BullCowCartridge header, I'll call mine WordList, then in the cpp have the following.

  #include "Misc/FileHelper.h"
      #include "Misc/Paths.h"
      
      void UBullCowCartridge::BeginPlay()
      {
          Super::BeginPlay();
          const FString WordListPath = FPaths::ProjectContentDir() / TEXT("WordLists/HiddenWordList.txt");
          FFileHelper::LoadFileToStringArray(WordList, *WordListPath);
          //...
      
      

  FPaths::ProjectContentDir() will return the absolute path to the Content directory e.g.

  C:/Users/Dan/UnrealProjects/BullCowGame/Content
      

  The / operator has been overloaded to concatenate the two strings together ensuring a / inbetween them. So in this example that line of code would result in an FString with the value

  "C:/Users/Dan/UnrealProjects/BullCowGame/Content/WordLists/HiddenWordList.txt"
      

  And finally FFileHelper::LoadFileToStringArray loads a text file into a TArray of FStrings. The first argument is the TArray to populate and the second is the path to the file.

  Packaging

  In order for this to work in a packaged game you would need to add the WordLists directory to the list of Additional Non-Asset Directories to package in your Project Settings under Packaging.

• 54. Loading Words With A Predicate .html

  Disclaimer: This is optional and a continuation of "Loading Words At Runtime" and a bit more advanced. Requires UE 4.25 or greater.

  Wouldn't it be nice if instead of loading a file to an array of strings, creating a new array, and populating it with strings from the first array based on our criteria, we could instead do that all in one step?

  With the help of FFileHelper::LoadFileToStringArrayWithPredicate and C++ lambdas we can do just that.

  LoadFileToStringArrayWithPredicate takes an additional argument in the form of a function object which takes an FString and returns bool (a function that returns bool are "predicates").

  This version of LoadFileToStringArray will only add strings to the array if the predicate returns true.

  Let's take a look at an example

  FFileHelper::LoadFileToStringArrayWithPredicate(Isograms, *WordListPath, [](const FString& Word) { return Word.Len() < 10; });
  
  

  The first two arguments Isograms and WordListPath are the same as the non predicate version. As a reminder

  Isograms is the array to populate WordListPath is the path to the file (* is needed as the parameter is TCHAR* and not FString)

  This new third argument is called a lambda. One of its uses is to be able to pass a function to another function.

  [](const FString& Word) { return Word.Len() < 10; }
  
  

  For all intents and purposes this is equivalent to the function

  bool Lambda(const FString& Word)
   {
      return Word.Len() < 10;
   }
  
  

  One key difference is that it's an object so it can be passed to a function.

  So what will happen is that each line of the text file is passed to that function and if it returns true then it gets added to the array otherwise it moves onto the next line in the file.

  So with this as the predicate Isograms will hold only words that are less than 10 letters long.

  Let's try matching what the lecture did so that it only holds words that are isograms which are greater than 4 and less than 8 characters in length.

  FFileHelper::LoadFileToStringArrayWithPredicate(Isograms, *WordListPath, [](const FString& Word)
   {
           return Word.Len() > 4 && Word.Len() < 8 && IsIsogram(Word);
   });
  
  

  We did it!... except this doesn't compile. In order to explain why I have to go off on a slight tangent (sorry).

  The problem is that IsIsogram is a "non-static member function" which means that it needs an instance to call it on e.g.

  Cartridge->IsIsogram(Word);
  
  

  However IsIsogram doesn't use any of the member variables so it doesn't actually need an instance to be able to use it. In other words it can be a static member function rather than non-static. You've come across static member functions before with FString::Printf and in the next section FMath::Lerp. What that means is that while they are part of the class they aren't tied to any particular instance of it.

  If we change the declaration of IsIsogram in the .h to be (note the lack of const¹)

  static bool IsIsogram(const FString& Word);
  
  

  And the definition in the .cpp to be (note the lack of static²)

  bool UBullCowCartridge::IsIsogram(const FString& Word)
  
  

  Then it should compile.

  ¹ As a const member function means the function doesn't modify the object that calls it, and a static member function aren't called on objects, const has no meaning here. Keeping it here would result in a compilation error.

  ² static means several different things in C++, it's probably its most overloaded term; putting it here would mean something else and would fail to compile.

  Slightly more detailed explanation of a lambda

  A lambda is actually just syntactic sugar for creating a class with a compiler generated name with the () operator overloaded. The first lambda example is the same as doing the following

  class CompilerGeneratedName
   {
   public:
      bool operator()(const FString& Word) const { return Word.Len() < 10; }
   };
  
  

  then creating and passing an instance of this to the function.

  Based on where you are in the course, we're going to assume you’re already familiar with the Blueprint tools for UMG (Unreal's UI framework). These are definitely the best way to go about designing you interfaces. Who wants to be doing that in C++!

  But there are good reasons to be using C++ for the logic driving your UI: version-ability, performance or just preference. How can we seamlessly bind our clean, performant C++ to the beautiful UI design created by the editor?Â

  This post outlines the tips and tricks Sam has learnt, including...

  • Basic setup
  • Creating a Blueprint Widget from C++
  • Widget Setup
  • Getting to your Blueprint widgets
  • Binding callbacks
  • More cool UI stuff…

• It seems that with from Unreal 4.18 the following bugs won't manifest...
  

  • The bug which causes the collisions on the tank’s components to interfere with components.
  • The bug which involves the tanks shooting off into the distance when loading the level from the Main Menu.

  Thanks to Dan for pointing this out.
