After watching some of the Unreal Engine tutorials, I couldn’t find any maybe helping me create custom weapons, and how to do the animations for the weapons, like if you stab someone, it will play an animation like in the game “Dishonored.” . Also, if I were to make a game, how would I create the main menu, video settings, and maybe even make it online. If these are irrelevant to Unreal Engine 4, forgive me. I’m just looking for some answers, thanks.
The custom weapons and animations will have to be created in various other 3D Applications such as 3DS Max, Maya or Blender. You’d then import the weapons and animations into Unreal Engine 4 and then script them to work how you want them to.
The main menu and video settings would be what we call GUI. You can use Slate to create a GUI or use something like Scaleform (Even though I don’t think this has been tested properly yet).
Making a game online would depend heavily on what you mean by this. If you mean multiplayer as in a first-person shooter, then you’ll have to code this yourself in C++, or maybe even Blueprint (But I don’t think this is possible yet, I’m unsure).
I hope this helps.
