I’ve had this special effect idea in my head for a few days I wanted to see if I could implement it. It was pretty easy to do, it basically leaves an after image of the melee weapon after it hits an enemy. I spawn a separate object which is a blueprint that has theContinueContinue reading “Expanding a little”

The boss had some attacks that looked weird in game so I made sure they worked better either by changing certain root settings or adjusting whether it affected his upper body or his wholeContinueContinue reading “Combat and melee work”
