Unreal Engine 5 C++ Game Development: Build Your RPG Game

Configure max walk speed and run speed in character class, wire an input action for left shift with actuation threshold, and implement run and stop running using get character movement.

Learn to build a paladin attack montage in Unreal Engine 5 by importing Mixamo root-motion animations, creating a four-attack sequence, enabling root motion, and wiring input mappings for combos.

Configure basic and heavy attack input actions in Unreal Engine 5 C++, map left click to tap and hold, and use debug messages with hot reload for a paladin RPG.

Set up paladin attack montages in Unreal Engine 5 C++ by declaring a UAnimMontage, exposing it to blueprints, and implementing a play function with sections and play rate.

Learn to implement a right weapon collision box in Unreal Engine 5 C++, bind overlap events, and toggle collisions to enable damage, paving the way for an anim notify state.

Create and configure an enemy movement blend space in Unreal Engine 5 using idle, walk, run, and strafe animations exported from Paladin via IK retargeter, with direction and speed axes.

Learn to implement enemy patrolling in Unreal Engine 5 using blueprints, pawn sensing, and a nav mesh bounds volume, with random patrol points and a move to destination.

Prototype enemy AI in Unreal Engine by using pawn sensing to detect the player, move to them, and attack via a sequence with retrigger delay and blueprint or C++ integration.

Create and organize the brute attack montage in Unreal Engine by importing basic and spin attacks, setting up montage sections, and wiring an attack montage property in the enemy blueprint.

Learn to implement random enemy attacks in Unreal Engine 5 using C++ and blueprints, including montage sections, random section selection, and timer-based animation playback.

Create an enemy right weapon anim notify state in Unreal Engine 5 C++ to activate and deactivate the weapon during attack montages, using Paladin references and messages like hit player.

Explore applying and handling damage between the paladin and enemy using c++, implementing an AI controller, base damage, health updates, death montage, and on-screen debugging messages.

Learn to create an enemy nameplate health bar in Unreal Engine 5 using a UI widget blueprint, bind health to a progress bar, and toggle visibility when near.

Import a Mixamo sword and shield blocking idle animation, assign the paladin skeleton, and implement blocking state in the anim blueprint with a getter/setter for isBlocking and start/stop blocking logic.

Learn to use a dot product of forward vectors in Unreal Engine to determine if the player faces the attacker while blocking, guiding damage application.

Add AI module and navigation system to Paladin tutorial build, and attach a UI perception stimulus source component, registering it with the perception system so enemies detect Paladin.

Explore implementing an enemy attack strategy in Unreal Engine 5 C++, moving to the player, validating distance for melee attack, and integrating with Unreal object system and memory management.

Implement a strafing strategy in Unreal Engine 5 C++ by creating a UObject-based strafe strategy, using nav data, navigation system, and AI controller to move and attack.

Implement a strafe strategy in Unreal Engine 5 C++ for RPG enemies by timing attacks with random delays, switching between attack, strafe, and patrol states using a strategy pattern.

Refactor patrol, attack, and strafe to validate strategies before execution, avoiding new object creation and saving resources; check enemy ai controller for null before exiting combat.

Create hit sounds for flesh, metal, and shield interactions using Freesound.org assets and Audacity, then import them into Unreal Engine for combat, while honoring attribution requirements.

Implement body and shield impact sounds for the paladin in Unreal Engine 5 C++ by adding sound cues and playing them at actor location using dot-product logic to determine facing.

Spawn a Niagara VFX at the impact bone location, such as clavicle, to visualize hits; use a Niagara system and spawn at the bone’s world-space location via blueprint.

Enable the beta motion warping plugin in Unreal Engine 5 and implement a C++ motion warping component for a jump attack that warps to a target using root motion.

Master motion warping in Unreal Engine 5 C++ by wiring a line trace to detect enemies, warp to a target using attack four, and clear warp targets after the attack.
