I download the DTMs from public sites and import with the "Landscape" plugin @ .45 scale. Pretty simple but that plugin doubled in price in the last few months for some reason.

@@DavidNGoodman ah, i see , im trying to use GAEA with png heightmap of real location , then import to unreal , all free , I wonder what the quality will be

@@abroad_fam5243 If the png retains the LIDAR detail on export, it should look just as good in UE I imagine.

Thanks. It's called Lordenfel

Yeah they were supposed to fall back but were too headstrong.

Thank you!

The ranged weapons all use projectiles in this system. The shotgun uses a hit trace (it fires one per pellet). I don't think the scope does anything in this case other than magnify but I can check bro.

Thank you :) A couple things prevent me from making tutorials - My office is shared with my wife, so we have to coordinate meetings so that we don't interrupt each other. The other thing is that I'm learning, so although my code works well for me, I don't want to pretend that I'm an expert at this stuff. When both of those things change, I'll try to make some. BUT, if you have specific questions about how I did something, please ask in my Discord and we'll chat about it all day 😁

Yes, I did the integration with Enemy AI and HurricaneVR. That was around 4 years ago and I moved to Unreal 2 years ago. I can try to find the project code, but it's on an archived drive somewhere in my studio. LOL But in a nutshell, go to the projectile fired by the HVR gun and on hit send a message to the enemyAI agent to lower health.

Sort of. 50 has good performance as well and around 25 land mines spawn in the same zone (if enabled) which thins them out a bit :D I do plan to spawn in more out of sight as the numbers dwindle.

No, they're from Rib(?) on the marketplace? But yeah, most of the coding I did on this AI was to get the motions and montage transitions as clean as possible. TBH, they don't look as good on these characters as they do on the UE4 manny character. I hope better zombie models will deform better at the shoulders at least.

Yeah it's a good feature for things like this.

Yes sir, doing well and still learning this stuff :)

Thanks Ian!

Thanks, Ian! I appreciate you watching and letting me know :)

Thank you! Funny how the perception of scale changes once you start flying. I'm on the fence about using flight in my FPS games because of scale and other things, but it's fun to explore and just fly :D

Yeah, I got on a roll :D Thanks for watching!

Thanks for letting me know! I'm glad I can be of some help :)

Thank you! My LIDAR workflow is pretty straightforward. I pull DTM data from public sites (mostly in my home state of WA) and use the "Landscaping" and "Mapbox" plugins to define and bring the terrain data into Unreal. Depending on the size of the area, the process takes just a few minutes. From there, I work with the landscape normally using UE tools.

@@DavidNGoodman Thank you.

Hi Peter. Are you talking about the Procedural FPS Framework (plugin I think). I'm using FPS Animation Blueprint for the controller and weapon system. Most of the rest of the code systems are home brew. As far as asset packs, I'm using the "Railway System with IC Train", "Driveable Vehicle : DPV-Buggy", Military Airport (Freshcan), Factory, Port, and Brick Factory (Volodymyr Stepaniuk), M4 for landscape biome/painting. And a bunch of character packs from Maksim and others.

Plugins? Narrative Navigator, Water Plugin, Easy Footsteps, Achievements, Async Loading Screen, and possibly a couple more that I can't think of at the moment :D

@@DavidNGoodman very cool! It works incredibly well One of the best showcases I've seen in a while! Is the fps a framework too?

@@gunterstunter Thank you :) Yes, this project is using "FPS Animation Blueprint v2" from the marketplace.

@@DavidNGoodman you could release this as a demo with a bit more content and I'm sure people would be keen to play. It looks AA level already

@@gunterstunter Heh that's possible. Would be a while though. This level is so big I need to figure out some ways to make gameplay interesting for single player.

Thanks :D

Thank you Niall!

Like a tear drop from crying?

Yes please. How can do this. I cannot find source for this.. any video from your side to help. Thank you

@@shivangipriya4153 I don't have any video for that. I've never tried to make tears, but I'd research how to do it with materials. Search for a rain shader (like on window glass). That's where I'd start looking.

Ok, thank you so much

@@shivangipriya4153 You're welcome. GL

What part? There's a lot to it.

Thank you for your reply.. I I mean The Talking between two characters?

@@shivangipriya4153 It's not something I can explain in a comment. But basically you need to created systems for interaction, driving morph targets, and/or using morph animations that are driven in the animation blueprint at runtime or in a level sequence. How you do it depends on the character type, how you created the lipsync animations, etc. LOTs under the hood.

I added them

The boat comes with the plugin and is driveable. I put the character in the boat myself though.

Thanks brother! Yeah you know the lore 😇

why didn't you try it with the new unreal free animation set?

@@judasthepious1499 I haven't downloaded 5.4 yet

It could be a bit. The translation is animated not rm. Another thing I'll fix later if I use this concept.

Yeah not thrilled with the walk anim. I'll change it later.

Msg me on discord and tell me what you have in mind.

That's exactly how I feel about them too lol

Hey thanks man. My FPS game is highly inspired by HL2 so my goal with these is to set up some cool physics-based puzzles and traps. 😁

@@bjulyjayjr I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for taking a look :)

Thank you. Well the more the better of course. My laptop is 5 years old, but at least has an nVidia Quatro 4000 (8Gb) which is equivalent to an RTX 2060. It's still doing okay, even with Lumen/Nanite, but my FPS is usually around 40 in a more complex scene.

@@DavidNGoodman I have a rtx 3050. Why won’t it run?

@@Dremsamarifan No idea. What are the symptoms?

Thank you!

Oh BLS is way easier to work with than ALC. It's not as good visually, but much leaner and performs better. It's def a few steps above the current UE5 template locomotion but has room to improve for sure.

Thanks Andy :D

@@DavidNGoodman ive sent you a file on discord, cheers

It's fantastic! I was looking for this type of asset for a long time, so it's great to be available. I hope more like it are coming 😁

Thanks man! Still working on the soundscape. I sound designer reached out recently to work on the game, so hope to show some cool SFX and music some time this year.

@@DavidNGoodman Nice, you are keeping the dev and the dream alive - not easy but very rewarding buddy...

Thank you! Yeah, HL2 is definitely my inspiration here. I'm glad you can tell :D

@@DavidNGoodman A massive inspiration to me too 😉

I was gonna say this is giving me HL2 vibes, awesome stuff.

@@MrAmazingpunk Thanks man, I'm so glad people are getting the vibe. It's giving me the vibe for sure when testing. Need to work on some AI capabilities, but overall that will be way more simple than modern games. Thanks for watching :)

You're welcome! Hope it helps :D

Yeah this is pretty much "stock" ALC. I've not noticed that with the weapon. I'll have to pay more attention.

@@DavidNGoodman you know once I spotted it now I always see it and drive me crazy.. Not on male only on female

@@lorenzogarbin8990 I can't remember offhand, but I think the female in this video is actually using the Manny ABP. I don't like any of the female locomotion animations available on the mp. Too super-model feminine for a female hero IMO. LOL

@@DavidNGoodman ah ok I'm using the female datatable included I'll try to switch to male and see how it look on my female character

@@lorenzogarbin8990 Nice. I'm interested in the results, so let me know (here or on my Discord) :)

Thank you! That's a pretty fun little level that may go into the final version - I'm thinking about creating an underground bunker with access from this little island. ;)

😀 Thanks!

Thank you! 😀

Thanks, Tim!
