  2. hi, this is really, REALLY great stuff, i suggest you to make a tutorial on creating a radar that detects enemies withing certain range maybe, that will be great, thanks.
    keep it up.

  3. Brilliant resources. What I would like to see is a tutorial on touch screen controls. 1 thumbstick for movement and 1 stick/button for for shooting.

  4. Amazing! Thanks so much for these tutorials, but please add some kind of skill tree that can give you some basic perks. Like increased speed and ammo clips or something like that.

    That would be awesome, thanks alot!

    Thank you so much!!!

  8. Hey merry christmas bro, I’ve learned more from you than any of the actual Epic Games tutorial out there. Some of the blueprints need to be updated but aside from that your the man. Happy holidays and looking forward to more of your work!

  9. Hi thank you for your tutorials. can you create a tutorial about 3 things:

    1- There is an animation for the reloading guns in the games, you know the animation that the hand remove and add the ammo like Call Of Duty

    2- In games like COD or Battlefield you have some friends with you that they are helping you and shooting enemies, if you shot them they won’t get hurt.

    3- You see in almost every game that your enemy or your friend get cover behind something, like desk or wall to be safe.

    (I know i ask you a lot but i only see your tutorials really complete so i want to ask you for it)

    Thanks

  10. Hey, First of all, Thanks! Your tutorials really help out.
    Yet I’ve got one question.
    How would you handle weapon pickups, e.g. replacing the weapon in slot 1 with a custom weapon already spawned in the map (or not)?

  12. Very detailed! Thank you. I was originally looking at the first person shooter through the unreal asset store. Unfortunately there is little to no documentation as detailed as this one! I’m going to turn these pages to a full on back log and sprint. Thank you for the detailed tutorial!
