Development Update

 This week not a lot of major things has happened what could have it as it's own post, just simple development additions like adding more blueprints or trying to figure out the right layouts for the level.

New Enemy Blueprint

A new blueprint has been added to the enemy what will make the enemy die when in contact with the bullet. Right now this blueprint isn't fully working but is being worked on hard so that it may be working pretty soon. Once this blueprint has been added the final blueprint will be added to the enemy what will allow it to spot the enemy and follow and that will lead into the game over.

To also test to see if the enemy is taking damage a function to print the enemies health on screen has been added temporarily.

Level Design Testing

New parts of level design has been added and this is an addition to the vent system to figure out how the basic ventilation layout will look like allowing the player to crawl through. Furniture has also been placed in the prototype area to show how the player will be interacting with them and to see if its possible to use the furniture provided in the engine for level design and climbing.

After this has done the final games level design will start development along with development of the player gun and polishing the game up to look decent ready to be submitted and released to the public.

Next post will be about the start of the modelling for the gun.

HUD and Ammo in UE4

Image
In the current project for the HUD to be achieved it had to have some new pieces of blueprints added to allow the HUD to be accurate to show how many bullets you currently have. This was achieved multiple ways but first I will go through the new bullet system implemented what the HUD utilizes in the game. Ammo The game requires you go through the level with only 7 bullets, the bullets are used to make stealth easier and to also help solve some puzzles throughout the game. This was achieved by editing the blueprints in the template to basically count down till it hit zero then stop accepting the firing input. Image of new blueprints added to the existing template code This new blueprint gets the Ammo component and will always check to see if it's higher than the value of 0 as long as it's above 0 the condition will stay true but each time the gun fires -1 bullet is taken and then it will update the value of the ammo component till the condition reaches fal...

Maya: Introduction

Image
Maya For the next part of my development I will be using Maya to make the main weapon that the player will see in the final game, along with any other side objects I make to put inside the game at one point. Maya is a 3d modelling and animation tool what is the industry standard for development right now. It is pretty useful and a good starting software to learn to use but at the same time pretty expensive to get a hold of unless you have the education license or pay the fee per year for the main license. This is what the user will see on the start-up of Maya The main user interface for the software may look complicated at first with the many tools that it shows but it is possible to only show the right tools you want for the specific task you would want to do. In the corner there is an option to change the workspace from "Maya Classic" to stuff for modelling or animation, this can help new users get used to the tools they will have to use for their task but...

Development Update: 2

Development Update: 2 Unreal Engine 4 Blueprint of the chase player when seen Blueprint of Chase Player that also damages player Blueprint to show that player has hit the enemy Within the unreal engine game I have started development of the main level design and also made the AI blueprints more streamlined so that when the player is spotted they will always follow the player till they are dead, I have also started working on a music trigger what will play when the player has been spotted by the enemy. The enemy has also been updated as well to be killed by the player when hit by a projectile. The music trigger is bugged so it plays outside of the pawn sensing zone of the enemy. The next part of blueprints to work on will be Ammo and the menu's and UI. AI has also been worked on for the game with the enemies patrolling the area until they spot the player character and then will switch the AI state automatically to start chasing the player till he is caught. This...
