[Game of Purpose] Day 73 – Improving animations with Blend Spaces

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , ,
Today I improved walking animations when hittin legs. My Animation state machine became cleaner than yesterday, because I used Animation Blend Space for animation between running<->walking<->limping right/left. It takes 2 params, SpeedPercent between 0 and 1, where: 0: standing still 1: running at full speed It also takes LegInjury between -1 and 1, where: -1: left leg fully injured 0: no leg injuries 1: right leg fully injured A problem I can see right now is that when falling down players capsule is still standing still. Don't know how to make it fall with a skeleton, yet. Source link lol

[Game of Purpose] Day 68

stp2y0 CommentsNews, , , , , ,
Today I imported all the animations (dying, damaging, limping, etc.) to the project. Its ~40 of them and I want to make a simple demo map, where I display them all in a grid. It is not that simple. I tried to do that similarly to how Lyria project did: https://blueprintue.com/blueprint/g6invk5y/. First I tried that in Cpp, but failed miserably and thought maybe in Blueprint will be easier. But I can't figure out how to create a Static Mesh Actor from an Animation Squence. Tomorrow I will try to make a Blueprint and pass an animation sequence as a variable.…

I am a 26-year-old developer from Vadodara, Gujarat. What do I develop? Websites, and apps before - now I make games and earn a good living ($5,000 - $9,000/month) I have developed since I was 15 (out of passion and curiosity). I started making simple websites using PHP, JS, and MySQL (+HTML/CSS). I used to finish projects for 12th grade students and get some small fees in return. In 2014, I was 16 and switched to Android Apps. I made utility apps - music players, photography, launchers etc. Made around $1000! I joined a design university in Pune which included…

Adding a HUD We're going to add a HUD to the game. This will show the player's lives, level, and score.

In part 1 we already added all the HTML and…

[Game of Purpose] Day 52

Today I was working on making Manny go along the spline. And it is functioning somewhat properly. I am really considering moving some functions to C++. The reason is that the onse using multiple variables are really hard to read and write. For example the one, which moves Manny along the spline is a huge spaghetti. Notice 2 guarding ifs then execution and invoking event again. 15 lines in C++, easy stuff. However, in Blueprints it's REALLY hard to know what is going on without any comments. Source link lol
