Melee attack with sphere trace and damage in front of character

Pattern: Attack input → Branch(bCanAttack) → PlayMontage(AttackMontage) → SET bCanAttack=false. AnimNotify during montage: GetActorLocation + GetActorForwardVector*AttackRange → SphereTraceMulti(Loc, Loc+Forward*Range, AttackRadius) → ForEach hit: Branch(HitActor != Self AND not already hit) → ApplyDamage(HitActor, Damage). OnMontageEnded → SET bCanAttack=true.

ApplyPointDamage — deal point damage with hit info

Spawn system with wave management for enemies

Pattern: Variables CurrentWave(int)=0, EnemiesAlive(int)=0, EnemiesPerWave(Array<int>). StartWave: CurrentWave++ → SET EnemiesAlive=EnemiesPerWave[CurrentWave]. Timer looping: Branch(SpawnedThisWave < EnemiesPerWave[CurrentWave]) → SpawnActor(EnemyClass, RandomSpawnPoint) → SpawnedThisWave++. OnEnemyDeath: EnemiesAlive-- → Branch(EnemiesAlive <= 0) → StartNextWave or Victory.

Projectile actor that moves forward and deals damage on hit

Pattern: BP_Projectile with SphereCollision(root), StaticMesh, ProjectileMovementComponent(InitialSpeed=3000, MaxSpeed=3000, bRotationFollowsVelocity=true). OnComponentHit → ApplyDamage(OtherActor, Damage, GetInstigatorController, Self) → SpawnEmitterAtLocation(ImpactPoint) → DestroyActor. Spawner: SpawnActorFromClass(BP_Projectile, MuzzleLocation, MuzzleRotation).

Create a Blueprint for a simple FPS weapon that shoots raycasts and deals damage

PlayMontage — play an AnimMontage on a SkeletalMeshComponent

Call on the SkeletalMeshComponent. Get it via GetMesh() on Character. Returns montage length. Exec out is 'then'.

Hit

A blocking collision between two shapes. Fires OnHit on both actors. Use for solid impacts.

Health and damage system with ApplyDamage and EventAnyDamage

Dealing damage: Event → ApplyDamage(TargetActor, BaseDamage, InstigatorController, DamageCauser, DamageTypeClass). Receiving: EventAnyDamage → Damage output → Subtract_FloatFloat(CurrentHealth, Damage) → FClamp(Result, 0, MaxHealth) → SET CurrentHealth → Branch(CurrentHealth <= 0) → True: DestroyActor. Initialize CurrentHealth=MaxHealth in BeginPlay.
