In this section, we discussed the important differences between the values of vectors and scalars, their definitions in the case of real-world mathematical quantities and in the realm of Unreal Engine 4. In addition, we looked at some in-engine examples of how to use scalars and vectors in materials and blueprints. We also looked at how to incorporate scalars and vectors so that it can dynamically change the color of a material. With a base understanding of scalars and vectors in our pockets, we can now discuss Newton's laws of physics.

Overview of this book
This book gives readers practical insight into the mathematical and physics principles necessary to properly implement physics within Unreal Engine 4.
Discover how to manipulate physics within Unreal Engine 4 by learning basic real-world mathematical and physics concepts that assist in the implementation of physics-based objects in your game world. Then, you'll be introduced to PhAT (Physics Asset Tool) within Unreal Engine 4 to learn more about developing game physics objects for your game world.
Next, dive into Unreal Engine 4’s collision generation, physical materials, blueprints, constraints, and more to get hands-on experience with the tools provided by Epic to create real-world physics in Unreal Engine 4. Lastly, you will create a working Vehicle Blueprint that uses all the concepts covered in this book, as well as covering advanced physics-based topics.
