Blueprints are best suited to making event-driven functionality, such as handling damage taking, controls, and other things that don't get called every frame.

If you have a Blueprint that's doing a lot of operations and complex math every tick, you might want to consider using native C++ code. <span>Blueprints are best suited to making event-driven functionality, such as handling damage taking, controls, and other things that don't get called every frame.

If you do start out in the Level Blueprint, and then decide to move behavior into a Blueprint Class, this should be a pretty simple process. When you copy functions from a Level Blueprint that operate on Actors (say, calling Set Brightness on a light), and paste them into a Blueprint Class based off of a Light Actor, the functions will update to be in the proper scope.

If you create a Blueprint Class, you can add it to any of your levels, and you can also add as many copies as you would like to the level, without needing to copy script around. <span>If you do start out in the Level Blueprint, and then decide to move behavior into a Blueprint Class, this should be a pretty simple process.

There are some key differences that will become more apparent as you get into more advanced use cases.

  • Functions are actually called when you place nodes to call the function. That means you can target them (i.e. "call a function on another object"), and they allow for communication between Blueprints.

  • Macros take the nodes from the macro graph, and actually replace the macro node with a copy of all those nodes. Basically, when the Blueprint is compiled, the macro copies all the graph nodes, and pastes them in where the macro node is.

Both are awesome ways to encapsulate functionality for reusability and clarity. <span>There are some key differences that will become more apparent as you get into more advanced use cases.

Exponential Height Fog creates more density in low places of a map and less density in high places. The transition is smooth, so you never get a hard cutoff as you increase altitude. Exponential Height Fog also provides two fog colors—one for the hemisphere facing the dominant directional light (or straight up if none exists), and another color for the opposite hemisphere.
