Old tutorial which isn’t supported in current UE4 version but might be useful.
I wasn’t able to find any tutorial or documentation about GameplayTags so I decided to create one myself. In this tutorial you will learn about:
You guys requested melee tutorial and I’m right after game jam where my colleague (cheers Tomek!) did really simple but powerful melee weapon. This tutorial will be about:
So, lets go!
If you want to iterate quickly you need to have good debug tools. In this Tutorial I will use knowledge from Set/Get Variables to draw widget with list of variables. Basically if you want to show an variable you need to print it out, or create custom widget for specific Actor. Thanks to Debug Component:
This can be achieved using C++ only but as always it will be super easy! (learn UE4 C++!)
Before I will move forward with perks I would like to show you guys how to get, set and increase variables (floats and ints) by name. You don’t need to have reference to variable to make operations on it.
In this tutorial I will create global functions that can:
Again I will use C++ for this and as always it will be super easy!
After first playable demo I have encountered lot of problems with ShooterTutorial gameplay. I would like to fix them all but first I need to have a way to quickly iterate balance of the game. In this tutorial you will learn:
I will do this using C++ but it will be very easy!
Currently my enemies are just disappearing. ShooterTutorial will be ported to Mobile some day and I want to be sure that my ragdols can be turned off as soon as possible. That’s why I will add nice dissolve effect. Which should be:
Every game should have analytics. You need to know your players and make a game that they love. Analytics will help you a lot. In ShooterTutorial example I would like to know:
I will show you how quickly you can implement analytics in your game and in ShooterTutorial. We have great times for indie developers now.
In Summary Screen I would like to show player stats like:
And I would like to be able to add more stats in the future. This tutorial will be really simple.
Earlier I have created really simple leadeboards which can be used quickly in GameJams but now I will do something much more better. It will be simple as well, but have much more possibilities.
In this tutorial you will learn how to create online, cross platform leaderboards for your game using PlayFab.
While creating patterns I did find them to be really hard. I came up to idea to create aim functionality that will trigger slomo as well. In this tutorial I will do right mouse button aim which can be used for X amount of time.
