Hey everyone, we are about to submit a new package called Customizable Deadly Traps.
What is it?
This pack contains multiple trap meshes and a complete Blueprint framework which makes them 100% drag and drop, ready to use in your games. From Spike traps, to Guillotines, this pack has it all!
Features:
Highly customizable Material instances
Multiple useful Material functions
100% Drag and drop ready to go feature
Change default meshes and materials
Customizable Blueprint behaviors
On the other hand, I think some materials need more work: ie by example, i am not convinced by the falling spikes metal material and the spikes of the ‘Spikes trap’…and by some other materials.
Perhaps take more care about the PBR thing. Well it’s not a big deal since the overall pack looks very fun but just more attention to the materials would be good imo.
Thank you for you interest and suggestions, glad you like it! We will work on the material definition before submitting, there are several material functions to create infinite variations. We hope you appreciate how customizable and flexible the package is!

very, very impressive! Are essential and iconic traps!!!
But?
These things are capable of causing damage (Pain or Death) to the player, is Damage Causer? There is an example for this?
It would be great to work using a Damage Causer example also. What do you think about using a configurable damage ammount in each trap? Why not medieval cages, mousetraps and bear traps???
Hi , of course. All traps are completely scalable and easy to understand, they all come with collision and have been tested in many situations. Since we don’t know how are they going to be used, we can’t predict their usage. However, in each trap, there is a section to put your logic to fit your game’s needs, it’s commented like every section in the Blueprints. Everything is made so it can make all the hard work for you, like our package Iconic Pickup Items we make sure to the end user doesn’t have to modify anything and just drag and drop and ready to go. Since we got more experience working with the engine, this pack is as much as flexible in Materials (and free useful Material Functions to use in other projects, just type Unforgiven inside Material Editor) as if it’s with the Blueprints, hope you guys appreciate it’s flexibility!
A far as adding new items, like Iconic Pickup Items, we plan on update or packages in a regular basis based on the feedback given and new ideas to improve the package. Glad we got your interest and hope the package is useful to all of you!
Since most people are using the package to add Damage to the player, here is one way you can do it **easily **inside the Blueprint.
First, we must find the collision event created, it is right before the comment “Your Logic here”. If you wish to restart the level once the player was hit, just do the following:
If you wish to add damage:
Inside your Pawn’s Blueprint you can call the event “AnyDamage” and get the information from there. Like this:
