Kart Racing Game PowerUps

Development Programming & Scripting

Hey all!

I am working on a remake of the Lego Racers 99’ game in UE5. Information Here

I am at the part for powerups and have the basic (Make Actor, add Static Mesh x Collision x Disappear on pickup) but struggling to get it to:

  1. Cast pick up to UI
  2. Hold item in memory until key press (Left Shift)
  1. Activate Item on press and see on screen
  2. Refresh item on track after 5s of pick up

Once that gets figured out then:

  1. Add powerup brick to upgrade base power up (up to Level 3, Base, +1, +2, +3)

Still trying to figure out final lap pass over finish line but wanted to start work on this part as well. I have very basic C++/Python knowledge so I know how it would look via text-based code just not in Engine!

Thank you!
