and the second being "Ugh that sounds terrible"/"haha that's a bad idea"/generally infer that I am a bumblin' bumbler doing the thing wrong

I've been thinking for a bit that I should do a video about this stuff because that second reaction was the majority and is dumber than heck

Like, with very few exceptions, if you can reach something from Blueprint that's where you should do it. It's not worse to do the easy thing

You do your stuff in Blueprint, properly, anyone can read it, modify it, hot recompile in 1 second, expand on it, replicate it, wtvr

You do the same stuff in code, you're gonna go slower (soz for tk) and in practical terms you're going to be the only one who can touch it

(Obviously the exception to every rule is "do all your shit the way you know how to do it quickly and reasonably well")

Perf difference? Negligible af. If you're bottlenecked on game code in a 3D game you already pooped the bed, it doesn't matter which bed

We get a lot of side eyes and judgement for making our 3D platformer @BillieBustUp purely in blueprint, but hey, it works great for us, to me that’s all that matters
