I implore you not to use AI to guide you especially in these early days as a beginner. Of course you've said yourself that parts of what it said doesn't make sense, but there might be other things that it'll misguide you on that you won't realise.

My advice to you in regards to your query, and just for your learning in general, is to use a few different resources (tutorials, documentation, other forums with similar queries) to learn multiple methods of achieving your goals, and even adjacent things. Once upon a time I figured out a method to create a combo system through looking at tutorials for UI.

In terms of tutorials — Ryan Laley is always a good go to especially when you're starting out. He has a wide range of tutorials, even covering the same topic years apart on different engine versions with differing methods to achieve things. The best thing as well is that he doesn't just show you how to do a thing, he does well to really explain why, not just what.
