Add jump and sprint input by mapping spacebar to jump and left shift to sprint, and set max walking speed to 600 at start and 250 on completion.

Create a pistol animation state machine in the animation blueprint, adding idol, unarm walk, and unarm run. Set velocity and vector length for movement transitions in the event graph, then compile.

Create a weapon actor and wire it to a data table to drive its mesh, damage, and maximum frequency, then control weapon type dynamically with an enum and interface.

Set up weapon animation logic in Unreal Engine 5 using a blueprint, any notify, enum, and interface to trigger shoot and reload animations on the weapon actor.

Set default weapon to pistol in the first-person character; create cubes for each gun and add play sound actions and cues for pistol, smg, shotgun, rifle, sniper, and rpg reloads.

Create a dummy NPC with a damage counter by building an NPC character blueprint, wiring a damage event to a UI widget that displays hit points, including a pop-up animation.

Spawn a hit particle at the hit location by configuring a spawn emitter at location, with location, rotation, and scale values; tune concrete and water VFX for size and rotation.
