Just released the first version 1.0.0 of the Button Prototype Kit](Button Prototype Kit in Blueprints - UE Marketplace).

This is a lightweight **prototyping **kit for making simple button puzzles.

Its purpose is to easily create and test out different button behaviors/small puzzles as you can see in the Demo Level Overview.

You can:

  • Combine two meshes to create multiple types of buttons
  • Mesh pack included (to create button combinations)
  • Define multiple positions (states) for each handle
  • Animate state transitions (rotate/slide) as handle movements
  • Play sounds on state changes (sounds not included)
  • Interact with buttons by calling Next, Previous or Reset actions
  • Listen to button movements and synchronize other buttons, by writing simple reaction rules
  • States and Observe/React functionality are in separate actor components, so they can be easily reused.

Other information:

  • Number of Blueprints: 6 Core (1 Multi-Purpose Button Prototype, 2 ActorComponents, 1 interface, 1 base actor) and more presets/usage samples
  • Also includes a mesh pack: 125 Total (58 Button Handles + 20 Button Bases for making all kinds of buttons, levers and switches, 6 Cypher Disks + 14 for disk holders, 9 for building a piano keyboard, 6 for building Pipe puzzles, 12 Various size Displays)
  • **Network Replicated: **Yes (core components are replicated, might still need some fixes so please send me an email with any problem you encountered)

Additional Notes:

  • I will soon include a FAQ section on the online documentation with answers to as much questions as I can.
  • Working on creating tutorials for all puzzles from the Demo level.
  • This is a prototyping pack.

Any suggestions and feedback are welcome.
