I am an Objective C, Ruby Developer from almost a decade. And recently I came to know about UE4 and started to learning. At first look I really loved it, simple and very useful. And those blueprints, I just loved it. Although sometimes it could be a pain that what you could do in 3-4 lines code, you have to create so many nodes in it, but still It was very useful, until I migrated to some advanced stage.
I started building an advanced level car racing game with almost 20 cars and I realized that those blueprints can’t work I can’t create so many blueprints for everything for each small change of every car. There are so many things Material / Wheels Data / Bones structure for every car. So either I have to completely dump that Blueprint thing and move to C++ code but every little change so much time to compile that it becomes a lot frustrated. So the ideal way is to create a some kind of C++ structure which loads either from XML files or SQLite Database.
Just have a quick question for now, Is Unreal Team doing anything in that direction already or not. If they are then I can hold my project and wait for them to do it in right way. If not, then they should re-think in that direction.
Whatever is the case, if UE team can update on this issue. It would be really helpful, or if anyone knows any third-party solution or plugin that can do this. Please update.
Thanks
