For this project, we're going to begin by simply taking the previous chapter's project and making a new copy. In previous chapters, we've explored a few ways of creating new projects using material from other projects. Simply duplicating and renaming a project can often be the simplest way to do this, and is appropriate if you're taking the work you've done in a previous project and expanding on it, as we are here. (It's also perfectly reasonable for this chapter's work to keep working from the previous project, if you'd like to.)
When creating a new project by copying, there really isn't a lot that needs to be done. It's enough to simply do the following:
- Copy the old project directory.
- Rename the new directory and the
.uproject
file. - Delete the generated files from the old project.
Let's run through this process using our project from Chapter 5, Interacting with the Virtual World – Part I, as a starting point for our work...
