Generic Shooter: Support Thread

[Allar]

Sorry I’ve been neglecting this thread. All support is now primarily through my Discord, available at http://discord.gamemak.in

, please respond. Video on 64 page.

For the first part, those are all just the basic built in camera lag settings for the spring arm. You can disable it all or adjust them in the SpringArm component of BP_PlayerCharacter.

For the second part, good catch. Apparently, this is a default Epic setting that requires a checkbox flip to enable. You can do this in the CharacterMovementComponent settings of BP_PlayerCharacter.

Can we get a tutorial on how to add an extra animation set to the existing ones? For example, I want to add in a set of Sprinting Animation Montages, and a set of walking Montages but just for my melee weapons, but your system that is set up for the walking animation is pretty deep, and I break my game every time I try to add this part. Could you do one for the 4.15 version of the game. Just show us how to add an extra set of Animations to the existing one for something like Melee. I noticed you’ve already setup most of the Melee stuff, just add in the part about melee. Right now you have it for Pistol and for Rifle, the tutorial would stand as a guide to add in Sprint Animations, or new Idle Animations as well, or even sets of Dialog Animations, all of which would expand the template’s use well beyond its current range of application.

I won’t be touching older versions, I’ll only be moving forward. The animation system is changing quite a bit so that it is a bit easier to use and modify. Adding a whole new movement state though, such as sprinting, is a bit more complex, however. The weapon system is also being actively rewritten to better support melee stuff, which will be handled slightly differently. These new systems will have documentation in time, but I’m still trying to figure out the best way to write these under GS’s new paradigms.
