Enemy Management
- Manage the wave intensity over time in BP_EnemySpawner: double-click on the timeline and adjust the graph representing the maximum number of enemies over time.
- Create New Enemies
Step 1: Create a child from BP_ActorEnemy and set variables as you need
- Create your own Enemy visual
Step 1: importe a 500 x 500 png image with transparency
Step 2: Create an instance of this material « M_Enemy »
Step 3: open you material instance and select your image in « Global Texture Parameter Value »
- Use skeletal mesh on for enemies
If you want to use the skeletal mesh: check the « isHumanSkeletal » box. Keep in mind skeletal meshs with animations will be perf intensive compared to static png.
Weapons Management
- Create a new weapon
Step1: Create a child class of « BP_Weapon »
Step 2: make it available in game
Open « BP_PlayerCharacter » ; select « AivailableWeaponsDataBase » ; add a new index with the « + » ; fill this new index with your weapon class, a logo of your choice, and describe the evolutions you want to show to player when the upgrade button will appear.
Your new weapon will be automatically integrated in the game 🙂
Step 3: Develop the mechanics of your new weapon by taking one of the weapons I’ve created as an example (e.g., « BP_Weapon_Gun_Child »).
Each time the upgrade button will be pressed in game; the « EventUpgradeLevelEffect » will be called ; so you can develop every thing you need inside 🙂
Minimum required configuration to run the compiled game smoothly
For my part, I run the compiled game at around 110 FPS with 500 enemies on the map, and OBS to capture the video. My setup is:
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
- 32 GB of RAM
- GeForce RTX 3070 Ti
