Hmm, you probably did, but just checking, did you remember to set the game mode?
Does anything happen at all when you press the play button?
Another thing that might be worth checking is if you press the dropdown arrow next to the play button, is it set to "Selected viewport" or "New editor window"? Either of those are good, so it might be worth checking it hasn't been accidentally changed.

Thank you! It works now, I just forgot to do those things.

Ah, excellent! Yeah, UE4 is a very complicated piece of software, so there's lots of things to forget, just ask if you run into any more problems!

Well... I just did. I made a light but I get a really wierd effect if I look at what it is shining at, with the light source off the screen. Do you know how I could give you a screenshot of it, or do I just need to descibe it with text?

Hang on, I'll try and find a way you could give me a screenshot. If it's easy to describe in text, you could have a go while I'm looking

I think this is a way to take and share screenshots with steam: https://spryfox.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/218503698-How-do-I-share-a-Steam-screenshot-

it seems as if steam doesn't let me take a screenshot using the application. Ill try forcably adding a screenshot I took with an external app to my ZGA screenshots and doing it from there.

Ah, actually that might be because the development files aren't an actual program, but just some files opened by UE4. It'd probably be quicker just to use another site, if you've got another program to take images, just a minute

If you can see this image: http://pasteboard.co/xzkEAaSIx.png
Then I've found a good site: http://pasteboard.co/

You can just drag the image onto the webpage, then share the link it generates

here it is.

thanks for taking the time to find the website

No problem! That's not actually something I've seen before though, haha. It's strange alright. Have you built lighting? It might be worth setting the lighting build quality to production, then build again. On lower settings, it can look jolly strange sometimes, although I'm not sure why it would change if the light source is out of view

im actually rather new to unreal engine so Ill try building the lighting, something else I forgot XD

rebuilding the lighting worked, thanks for all the help.

Oh nice! No problem, yeah there's a lot to know about unreal, so I'm going to try and be around to help all I can
