Description

The course is compatible with any version of Unreal Engine, including Unreal Engine 5!

NOTE: 345+ videos are still in the process of being mastered and uploaded.

This is the most comprehensive Unreal Engine tutorial series on the internet. You will create a shooter game complete with AAA quality gameplay mechanics. Learn the theory behind the gameplay mechanics of shooter games, then implement them in this beautiful game project. Topics covered are:

   Character creation and movement
   Input for PC and console controllers
   Extensive use of Animation Blueprints (and Anim Instances, their C++ parents)
   1D and 2D Blendspaces
   Strafing
   Turn-in-place
   Aim Offsets
   Inverse Kinematics
   Animation Curves
   Character lean when running
   Crouching (with dynamic capsule resizing)
   Turn hips while running
   Weapon fire with recoil animations
   Reloading
   Weapon blast and impact particles
   Weapon beam particles (smoke trails)
   Bullet shell eject particles
   Sound effects
   Blending animations per bone, by bool, and by enum – play one animation with one part of the body (running or crouching) while simultaneously playing another animation with another part of the body (reload, aim, or weapon fire)
   Attach and equip different weapons (pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles)
   Automatic and semi-automatic gunfire
   Move different gun parts (the clip/magazine, and pistol slide) during animations
   Camera zoom while aiming
   Dynamic crosshairs that spread in reaction to:
       Character speed
       Weapon fire
       Aiming
       Jumping
   Different crosshairs per weapon
   Widget components, showing:
       Item names
       Item types
       Ammo counts
       Item rarity
   HUD animations
   Full item inventory system
   Data tables, in Blueprints and C++
   Curves to control:
       Item movement during pickup
       Color and brightness pulse for material effects
   Material creation, including:
       Post-process materials
       Dynamic material instances
       Setting material properties from C++
       Driving material properties with curves
       Material functions
       Blending materials together
       Outline effects
       Glow/pulse effects
   Retargeting animations
   Retargeting whole Animation Blueprints
   Numerous gameplay algorithms
   Use of data structures, including:
       structs
       enums
       arrays
       maps
       and more
   Animation montages
   Anim Notifies for sounds, weapon trails, and custom notifies
   Sync markers for footsteps and sync groups
   The course comes with a huge amount of assets, including:
       Sounds
       Textures
       Particle effects
       Meshes
   Delegates
   Interfaces
   Dynamic footsteps that spawn different sounds and particle systems depending on the surface type
   Physical materials and surface types
   Niagra particle systems
   Line traces
   Enemy AI
   Behavior Trees and Blackboard Components
   Multiple enemy types with varying levels of Health, Damage, Size and Movement Speed
   Headshot damage, with:
       Higher damage for headshots
       Number widgets that pop up and animate with bullet hits
       Different colored numbers for headshots
   Character and enemy health bars
   Enemy patrol, agro, chase and attack player
   Death mechanics
   Stun mechanics
   Melee attacks with melee weapon trails
   Explosives that cause damage and death
   Level prototyping
   Creating full levels based on our prototypes using professional assets
   Light baking
   Post-process effects
