Why take this course?

Epic games taking huge steps into allowing python for editor scripting, while it was experimental for the UE4.x cycle, it is now a turned ON by default for UE 5.x, and it is massively growing everyday. This opens a huge door for an entire new world of possibilities, starting from automation tools, ending up with full UI tools. In this course we will be going step by step from nothing into the mastery of the Unreal Editor Python scripting in a 4 hours journey.

With python editor scripting, you are not only going to create very productive tools, but also will save your time from the slow process of plugins creation and get new opportunities in the game industry that you never though about before. Python is an important language nowadays in the game industry, and using it with Unreal Engine (4 or 5) is a win at all aspects. And that's the main target for that course!

Regardless if you're targeting Unreal 4 or Unreal 5, the knowledge in that course is 100% applicable at both of them. The course been recorded with Unreal 4, but it was fully revised again with Unreal 5 and made sure that everything covered is still valid.

El curso es muy práctico, toca temas puntuales y eso está muy bueno. Me gustaría que haga más ejemplos. :)

The usage of a paid IDE is a touch off-putting. It would be nice for an update or section to help with setting up a free editor.

incredibly rudimentary. more examples of real world uses and specifically outlining the limitations in Python with UE would have been better. For instance, trying to find all BPs with a certain node type and then modifying the graph for those found BPs would have been much more useful than these rather unrealistically simple examples.

This video series was exactly what I was hoping it would be. I had to learn how to make a a python script for my job and only had a short amount of time to learn, and this tutorial series made my life so much easier. Thanks!

I tried to make progress with Python with UE but progress was really slow. This course has given me the confidence to try my own project and for that I am very grateful. Big thank you :-)

Course is great, bit not for beginners nor for veterans, but its the common thing among the tutors so I don't mind. Thumbs up for putting this up.

Excellent overview and detailed explanation of each step in the process. The lessons included a good selection of tools that showcase the versatility of Python in UE. Thanks, and I look forward to another learning opportunity with you!

Short and sweet! Definitely wouldn't recommend for someone who is completely new to Unreal Engine as it requires some basic knowledge of the Engine's API. Also, I'd consider editing out some parts where code didn't run properly or when the PC is booting UE4, etc. Just to keep the videos from getting longer than necessary. Thanks for your time on making this series, it was super helpful!

Taking awhile to get into the meat of the course. Notes on where to skip to if you are familiar with programming and ue4 or python in general would be helpful
