Damage & Healing Area of Effect in Unreal Engine 5

Using a combination of the Gameplay Targeting Plugin and custom data logic, enemies and players can damage and heal targets within an area of effect, with fall-off curve support.

Adding something as simple as a projectile ability to AI has made the game more fun to play!

By having an enemy throw projectiles, I can start the following:

- Block & Parry
- Projectile Deflection
- Player Damage Feedback

What should I work on next? #gamedev #gamedevelopment #UnrealEngine #UE5

Using State Trees, Animation Choosers, + the Gameplay Ability System in #UnrealEngine 5, we created a melee combo system that tracks & activates gameplay abilities in state tree tasks.

Playing around with air-based melee attacks (animations from marketplace) I am also playing around with trail effects. Eventually I will need to figure out the balancing between melee and abilities...

#UnrealEngine #ue5 #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Managed to put together a basic melee combo and a special hold attack in #UnrealEngine using:

State Trees: To transition between each combo state

Choosers: To map a gameplay tag to anim montage

Input Buffering: To markup animations to block & buffer input

#gamedev #gamedevelopment #UE5

By using various techniques we can take a simple melee hit and make it more impactful for the player. Animation, VFX, shakes, force-feedback, trails, hit stop all play a role in melee hits in games! What other techniques do you use?

Data Driven CVars in #UnrealEngine5

In Unreal Engine 5, you can add custom data driven console variables within Project Settings->Engine->Data Driven CVars that you can listen for through delegates of its subsystem. All CVars are written to the DefaultEngine.ini file #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Hit Stop World Subsystem for Custom and Global Time Dilation in #UnrealEngine5

We created a system that allows us to modify global and custom time dilations of actors. We use this system for Hit Stops in melee combat to make it feel powerful! Watch live: twitch.tv/jevinscherriesgamedev #gamedev

I would appreciate feedback on my current implementation of hit stop and hit impact effects, here is what I have:

For now I am focusing on the visual/feel size of things. Is there anything missing, done poorly, or just feels off?

Nameplate UI for Health, Stamina, + Portrait in #UnrealEngine5

Players manage health + stamina with the player nameplate UI. Widget animations flash the healthbar red at low health thresholds and more to add personality to the UI. Watch live @ twitch.tv/jevinscherri... #gamedev #gamedevelopment

To make the player stamina bar more interesting, we introduced a second delayed progress bar that interpolates the difference in stamina with a unique curve to emphasize the cost of abilities. Watch more live: twitch.tv/jevinscherriesgamedev #gamedevelopment #UnrealEngine5 #gamedev #gamedesigner

As part of the gameplay loop of resource management, we want to give players a passive resource regeneration mechanic that can be dynamically improved or limited to make gameplay more interesting. Watch me live at twitch.tv/jevinscherriesgamedev for more! #gamedev​ #UnrealEngine5​ #gamedevelopment
