When will Arena Shooter variant for TP_FirstPersonBP be ready?

Since mid-may, the TP_FirstPersonBP template in 5.6 and 5Main branches seem to have been heavy refactored, and at the time of writing we are unable to replicate some actions that were previously possible, like shooting with weapons, confirming physics of the projectiles and objects in the scene, and simple sound playback. While promising, selecting “Arena Shooter” variant seems to make no difference to the produced stage.

Are we missing something, should we wait a bit more for the work to be completed, or would it be better to look elsewhere for a very simple comprehensive scene template?

Regards,

Hi, as you’ve noted, the template has been in development. An updated version will be available with the upcoming release of 5.6. If you run into issues with the templates after the 5.6 release, please do report them to us. Additional fixes are slated for the template later this year, although I don’t have an exact date to share at this time.

I hope that helps!

Sounds good! I’ll go ahead and close this case then, but please feel free to reach out again if you need additional support.

Hello.

Thank you for the reply. Will wait until the actual 5.6 release then (was a bit surprised since the work started after the 5.6 branch was splintered off, rather than in advance).

Regards,
