Unreal Engine C++ The Ultimate Shooter Course | Updated 51 GB

Requirements

• Understanding of the basics of C++ (take my C++ course!)

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

• Character speed
• Weapon fire
• Aiming
• Jumping
• Different crosshairs per weapon
• Widget components, showing:
• Item names

• Ammo counts
• Item rarity
• HUD animations
• Full item inventory system
• Data tables, in Blueprints and C++
• Curves to control:
• Item movement during pickup
