FPS Game Starter Kit

Unreal Engine Marketplace
#1

Hello and welcome,

I released a FPS Game Starter Kit on the Marketplace
https://www.unrealengine.com/marketp…ps-starter-kit

Out of the box it has:

  • Saving & Loading
  • Camera switching for FPS and TPS perspectives
  • AnimBP’s set up for both perspectives
  • Camera shake and gamepad vibration feedback
  • Aiming down sights, sprinting, crouching, double jump (optional) and other common features
  • Movement tweaks and overrides (cancel sprinting when firing, walk slower while aiming, etc.)
  • Basic weapon inventory (weapons are child actors from 1 master class)
  • Templates for different types of weapons: rifle, launcher, shotgun and sniper (with UMG scope)
  • Bullet impacts and effects (bullets are projectile based, however a hitscan option is available too)
  • Vehicles (Buggy and Sedan)
  • Health regeneration (can be disabled by disconnecting only 1 node)
  • Health and ammo pickups
  • In-game currency
  • Vending Machines
  • Basic AI (patrol)
  • Settings UMG for camera FOV and gamepad vibration
  • Bonus Blueprints for easier and faster level prototyping (ladder, elevator, etc.)
  • Does NOT use a custom GameInstance, this makes it easier for you to implement other packs, such as Game Settings and stuff like that.
  • Event Ticks: 0
  • …and much more

Update 1.1 has been released! Here is the complete change log :slight_smile:

-Additions-
-Vehicles (light versions of the default Epic Games examples, self-contained and not deeply integrated into any other Blueprint Actors, deleting the Vehicles folder would not break the template in any way)
-Vending Machine that uses the in-game currency to buy ammo and/or health
-Saving & Loading of the Player Inventory, ammo for weapons and collected money
-Money Pick-Up

-Changes-

-Character Base:
-Added in-game currency
-Added the ability to crouch
-Added delay between shots functionality
-Fixed an issue where Jump would play the sound each time it’s pressed
-Moved Pause to a Widget (to have a Save & Quit button)
-Minor tweaks regarding movement

-AnimBP:
-Added blendspaces for the new Crouch ability

-Weapon Base:
-Added an infinite ammo option
-Added a float for delay between shots
-Camera shake and gamepad vibration are now exposed to child classes
-Ammo mags are replaced with ammo in reserve (reload no longer wastes an entire magazine, but instead takes only the needed amount of ammo to fill the clip)
-Fix for a bug that caused projectile to go slightly to the left if the character was in TPS perspective and the projectile spawned from the gun barrel
-Option to disable left hand IK and an Enum for animation category have been added (in case someone has pre-made animations for everything)
-Shooting the enemy now spawns blood particles instead of the default impact particle
-Child classes now have examples of how to add firing and reloading animations for weapons

-PickUps:
-Changed the Ammo Pickup to work with the new ammo system

-HUD and other Widgets:
-Changed the ZOrder of Sniper scopes to be -15 and Hit Test Invisible, to prevent it from rendering above the VirtualJoysticks for mobile enabled projects
-Added a Widget for the Vending Machine
-Added a Main Menu for Saving/Loading
-Added a Widget to the Vehicles (to displays the controls on-screen while driving the vehicle)
-Added a Game Over widget for when the Player Character health reaches 0

-AI Example:
-Added the ability to move to a random location
-Added a function that makes it ragdoll when hit by a vehicle
-Added money to its PickUp drop chance
-Tweaked the collision and added a DetourCrowdAIController to it
-Red Barrel now has physics enabled by default

-Maps:
-Added a Main Menu map
-Expanded the default map to showcase the new content and features

You should provide a link to this post on the marketplace.

I would recommend this for novice on up. I spent a lot of time working on my own system and I’m not that good with FPS. All I did was migrate the levels to this and it works better than my own. Too bad you didn’t put this out sooner. I used my own mesh for the TPS and for the FPS I used Ironbellys arms and weapons. I had no problems doing that.

#7

Thank you :smiley: I’m glad it helps you out with your project. Also, forum link has been added to the store page, thanks for the suggestion.

#8

Are you planing on adding a new type of weapon inside like a knife or crowbar? Would be nice to see sharp and blunt weapons aswell.

#9

Awesome, may look into buying this

#10

You should add an area effect to projectiles. Your launcher only does damage on a direct hit.

#11

Heys, for whatever reason I didn’t get any notifications that there were new replies…

@Rated87 melee attack will be in the next update, however melee weapons such as knifes, swords, spears, etc. are not planned.
@MrGibbs Thank you! :slight_smile:
@Denmengel it’s on my list, but people have been asking for a pistol example more often, so that one has priority, but yeah both will be added.

#12

-Added steady 1-frame ADS animation (optional)

Other:

i am messing with save and load, can SB1985](User Profile - Unreal Engine Forums) explane how i can save and load player transform position rotation

#14

Hi, I made a tutorial for how to save new variables, the example I used was the player location. You can find the tutorial here.

#15

Got it working and thanks for this great asset i love to play it

#16

Good job :smiley: keep it up

#17

Can you allso explane how the ai can be saved sort tutorial woulth be nice

#18

The save system covers the player character, weapons inventory and stats. AI isn’t part of it, think of it like in Borderlands for example, when you Save & Quit, then re-load the level again, the enemies reset.

Integrating the enemies would make the Blueprints somewhat too messy to work with, would be easier to make a GameMode for that that keeps track of stuff and handles world related things.

#19

ok yes i tryed with what the player saves things ,the best was that when ai is dead and you save and later you load the ai is dead then to maybe save the health of the ai then when you load they drop dead and you dont have to fight them again

#20

That would make a new slot for each enemy in the game…

It’s better to make a GameMode and a unique save file with enemy stats (struct array), then in the enemy on begin play read the data and set the values.
