WEBVTT 00:06.880 --> 00:08.080 Welcome back. 00:08.140 --> 00:14.380 So now that we have got our project set up and we can run in debug mode, it's time to do some coding. 00:14.530 --> 00:21.760 Now all we've done so far is Add or a character base, which as we mentioned, is going to be the base 00:21.760 --> 00:26.380 class for the characters that we create in this project. 00:26.410 --> 00:31.930 Now I actually don't plan on creating an instance of or a character base. 00:31.960 --> 00:33.570 It's just a base class. 00:33.580 --> 00:39.250 We'll create the player character and the enemy character classes and those will inherit from character 00:39.250 --> 00:43.450 base, which means there are some things that we don't need in this class. 00:43.450 --> 00:51.790 And if we like, we could add the abstract specifier to the class macro, and that prevents this class 00:51.790 --> 00:54.370 from being able to be dragged into the level. 00:54.400 --> 01:00.670 Now, I already know that I'm not going to have the base class do any tick functionality and we don't 01:00.670 --> 01:02.980 need set up player input component either. 01:02.980 --> 01:09.200 We're going to configure input for the player character class, the one we'll be controlling. 01:09.200 --> 01:14.510 But the I controllers don't need input, so we're not going to set that up in the base class here. 01:14.510 --> 01:19.740 I'm going to actually remove set up player input component and the tick function altogether. 01:19.760 --> 01:21.740 Now we know what Beginplay does. 01:21.740 --> 01:27.530 We're going to remove the comment telling us about Beginplay and we know what constructors do. 01:27.560 --> 01:29.990 We're going to remove the comment for that as well. 01:29.990 --> 01:37.010 Those are just in the way and in a character base, we're going to remove these comments here as well. 01:37.490 --> 01:44.600 I'm going to change beacon of a tick to false as I don't see any immediate need for base character to 01:44.600 --> 01:45.170 tick. 01:45.200 --> 01:47.330 Let's remove the comment there. 01:47.360 --> 01:53.600 We'll remove the comment from beginplay and we don't need tick or set up player input component. 01:53.630 --> 02:01.580 We're removing those all together and now we have a stripped out bare bones base character class, which 02:01.580 --> 02:02.270 is great. 02:02.300 --> 02:08.660 We're going to use this to derive subclasses or child classes and I'd like to do that now. 02:08.780 --> 02:14.600 Now I'm not debugging any code at the moment so I can simply hit run and we'll compile and launch the 02:14.600 --> 02:15.740 editor from there. 02:15.860 --> 02:22.390 And here in the editor, we can go ahead and derive from the character base. 02:22.400 --> 02:29.420 Now to keep things organized, I'm going to want my classes in their own designated folders. 02:29.450 --> 02:36.530 Now I've already added this character base class, but I could put this in a character folder and that 02:36.530 --> 02:39.950 way all the character classes can be grouped together. 02:39.950 --> 02:41.930 So I'd like to do that now. 02:41.930 --> 02:48.710 I could do it from within writer or I could rearrange my project's structure in Explorer. 02:48.710 --> 02:55.670 So if I open my source folder here and go into Aura, I can add a character folder in both my private 02:55.670 --> 02:57.260 and public folders here. 02:57.260 --> 03:04.460 So I'm going to go ahead and add a new folder and call this character and I'm going to do the same thing 03:04.460 --> 03:06.020 in the private folder. 03:09.270 --> 03:12.300 And I'll move the CP into character. 03:12.330 --> 03:17.160 And back in the public, I'll move the H into character just like that. 03:17.400 --> 03:21.230 Now it takes a second, but Rider updates right away. 03:21.240 --> 03:27.870 And of course this is going to require that we make a new commit as this is now read. 03:27.870 --> 03:36.600 And if you do this in Visual Studio, what you have to do is close out of the IDE and delete your intermediate 03:37.470 --> 03:39.330 and your binaries folder. 03:40.070 --> 03:43.250 Then you can open your solution and compile again. 03:43.250 --> 03:50.090 And for Visual Studio, you'd right click on your project and generate Visual Studio project files. 03:50.210 --> 03:51.890 I'm opening writer. 03:53.130 --> 03:59.130 And before we compile and run, we're going to have to go into a character base here. 03:59.430 --> 04:06.630 And now that we've changed our folder structure, we can type in character slash or a character base 04:06.630 --> 04:07.200 there. 04:07.500 --> 04:11.100 And now we can successfully include the header file there. 04:11.130 --> 04:12.570 So I'm going to hit run. 04:14.140 --> 04:20.800 And here in the content drawer, I see that I now have a character folder in public and here's where 04:20.800 --> 04:23.110 I'll put my other character classes. 04:23.230 --> 04:25.060 So we'll go ahead and create those classes. 04:25.060 --> 04:30.280 I'm going to right click on a character base and create a C plus plus class derived from it. 04:30.280 --> 04:33.460 And I'll let this go into the character folder here. 04:33.460 --> 04:37.840 And I'm going to call this Aura character. 04:37.930 --> 04:40.690 This will be the player character that we control. 04:40.690 --> 04:42.860 So I'll go ahead and create the class. 04:42.880 --> 04:47.830 Now I have live coding off and my editor is set to not compile. 04:47.830 --> 04:53.050 That's just how I prefer for this project and it's asking if I'd like to edit the code. 04:53.050 --> 04:56.020 Now I'm going to click No, because I'm not done. 04:56.020 --> 04:57.610 I'm going to make one more class. 04:57.610 --> 05:02.560 I'm going to right click on Aura Character Base, create a C plus plus class derived from it. 05:02.590 --> 05:08.230 We've already created Aura character, but now we need an enemy class and I'm going to call this aura 05:08.260 --> 05:09.040 enemy. 05:09.070 --> 05:11.500 So we'll go ahead and create that class as well. 05:11.500 --> 05:17.870 And again, I'll click No, I'm going to handle the compiling myself and I'll go ahead and close out 05:17.870 --> 05:22.760 of the editor as we're going to compile and launch from the IDE. 05:23.180 --> 05:31.340 So now we have three character classes and or a character is derived from or a character base as is 05:31.370 --> 05:34.520 or an enemy they're both derived from or a character base. 05:34.520 --> 05:42.410 So now we can add things to Aura character base and are two derived classes will inherit those things. 05:42.770 --> 05:50.180 Okay, so now that we have our character base and our enemy and Aura characters, we're ready to start 05:50.180 --> 05:56.030 adding some features to the character base class that our other characters can inherit, and we're going 05:56.030 --> 05:58.400 to start that in the next video. 05:58.490 --> 06:00.920 So in the meantime, I'll make my commit. 06:00.950 --> 06:03.740 No need for me to show that to you every time. 06:03.740 --> 06:09.800 You can just assume that I'm committing after each lecture and I'll see you in the next video.
