UI animations5:54
Creating the platforms14:40
Connecting game mechanics11:31
Apparently, the part about connecting Level Failed UI to the main blueprint got cut out by the rendering software. Below is how to do it:
To connect the Level failed, all you have to do is to go to your ThirdPersonCharacter BP and after the SetPhysicsBlendWeight you can call create a widget. Create widget takes in Level Failed widget we created and the return value of it together with the execution flow connects with the Add to the viewport function. After that just connect the Add to the viewport to the delay and that should display the Level Failed.
Finishing the game3:48
