Tower Defense Starter Kit

The v1.4.2 update is now live on the Unreal Engine Marketplace. This update officially adds support for v4.13 of the Unreal Engine & introduces the following changes to the product:

  • The Camera Zoom workflow which previously relied upon a step zoom system implemented within the player pawn class, has been replaced with a modular component based system that supports both Smooth Zoom as well as Step Zoom functionality. Adding a zoom system to a custom pawn or changing the existing system type is now as easy as adding the Smooth Zoom or Step Zoom component to the pawn blueprint, alongside the required Camera Zoom interface & it’s functions.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the Mining Tower to display incorrect ‘MiningRate’ stats when hovering over the upgrade button.

Known Issues:

  • If the Global Ability Button is used, the editor might display a warning once that instance of the game is closed. This can be fixed by opening up the ‘Widget_GlobalAbilitesButton’ class & then setting the ‘Is Focusable’ parameter to true within the detail panel as shown below: [The issue will be rectified in the next update]
