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
