What you'll learn

How to build a reusable and Steam-Ready interaction system in Unreal Engine 5

How to use Blueprints and C++ together effectively

Master interfaces for clean communication between actors

Creating interactable objects like doors, chests, levers, and NPCs

Handling input actions and mapping them to player interactions

Implementing interaction prompts with UI text, icons, and highlighting

Best practices for structuring code and Blueprints to stay organized

Requirements

A basic understanding of Unreal Engine 5 (navigating the editor, creating Blueprints)

Some familiarity with Blueprint scripting (variables, functions, events)

No prior C++ knowledge required but being open to learning a little will help

Enthusiasm to learn and build your own game systems

Description

Master one of the most essential systems in modern game development — the Interaction System. Whether you’re building an RPG, a Souls-like, or any game where players interact with objects in the world, this course will give you the skills to design and implement a professional, expandable interaction system in Unreal Engine 5.In this step-by-step course, you’ll learn how to:Programming Fundamentals with Blueprints, C++, and Unreal Engine with a e-book that is included with the courseDesign and define interaction system requirements to understand the why and how we want to build such a system for our gamesDesign and build an interface with an Interact function that makes your interaction system modular and reusable across multiple objectsCreate a base blueprint interactable actor to use as the foundation for all future interactable objects in your gameSet up input actions and mappings so your player can seamlessly trigger interactions in a flexible, scalable wayDesign a custom widget with text and images that acts as a dynamic interaction prompt for the playerImplement distance-based logic to determine which object is closest and should display its promptAdd an optional larger collider for interactable hints, guiding players toward important objects in your game worldBy the end of the course, you’ll have built a fully functional, commercial-ready interaction system. This interaction system you can drop into RPGs, action-adventure games, survival games, or any project where players interact with the environment.This course is designed for Unreal Engine beginners to intermediate developers, with a focus on both Blueprints and C++  to show you how professional developers combine both for maximum power.If you’ve ever wanted to build gameplay that feels polished, responsive, and player-friendly, this course is for you.

Who this course is for

Anyone who want to create interaction systems for RPGs, Souls-likes, or other genres

Beginners who have learned Unreal Engine basics and want to take the next step into system design

Intermediate developers looking to bridge Blueprints and C++

Anyone who wants to design reusable, expandable systems instead of quick hacks
