Build a dynamic army-following and combat experience with this ready-to-use Army Command System Template, designed for Unreal Engine projects that need leader-controlled soldiers, responsive commands, weapon handling, combat audio, and enemy encounters.
The template includes a Leader Character, multiple Army/Soldier Characters, and Zombie Characters for combat testing. The army units are designed to respond to the leader's commands and automatically react when enemies are detected.
Key Features
Three Army Commands
Stop: Orders all army characters to stop following and hold their position.
Follow Me: Commands the army to follow the leader.
Charge: Orders the army to advance toward enemies and engage them.
Command Voice System
Each command has its own relevant voice response, creating a more immersive military command experience. Soldiers respond with appropriate voice audio when commands are issued.
Dynamic Army Following
Army characters automatically follow the leader when the Follow Me command is active, maintaining their movement behavior as the leader travels through the environment.
Automatic Enemy Engagement
When army characters detect enemies such as zombies, they can automatically transition into combat behavior and charge toward the enemy without requiring the leader to manually command every attack.
Weapon Equip & Unequip System
Include a weapon handling system with weapon equip and unequip animations, allowing them to transition naturally between movement and combat states.
Attack & Combat Sounds
The system includes relevant attack sounds and combat audio to make encounters feel more responsive and immersive.
Zombie Enemy Characters
Zombie characters are included as enemy targets, allowing you to immediately test the army's enemy detection, charging, and combat behavior.
