Health system: take damage, clamp health, check death

Pattern: EventAnyDamage → Subtract_FloatFloat(A=CurrentHealth, B=Damage) → Clamp(Value=Result, Min=0, Max=MaxHealth) → SetVariable(Health=ClampResult) → Branch(Condition=(Health <= 0)) → True: call OnDeath custom event. Variables needed: Health (float), MaxHealth (float). EventAnyDamage output pin is 'Damage' (float). Clamp inputs: 'Value', 'Min', 'Max'. All floats.

Respawn system: death → delay → respawn at PlayerStart

In Character BP: OnDied (custom event) → SetActorHiddenInGame(true) → SetActorEnableCollision(false) → Disable input: GetController → DisableInput → Delay(Duration=3.0) → GetGameMode → CastTo<BP_GameMode> → RestartPlayer(GetController) → SetActorHiddenInGame(false) → SetActorEnableCollision(true) → EnableInput. In GameMode RestartPlayer: Gets nearest PlayerStart → SetActorLocation to PlayerStart → calls OnPossess. OR manual: GetAllActorsOfClass(PlayerStart) → Random select → SetActorLocationAndRotation(PlayerStart.Location, PlayerStart.Rotation).

Respawn system that moves player to spawn point after death

Pattern: On Health<=0 → DisableInput(PC) → PlayMontage(DeathAnim) → Delay(DeathAnimDuration) → GetActorOfClass(PlayerStart) → TeleportTo(SpawnPoint.Location, SpawnPoint.Rotation) → SET Health=MaxHealth → EnableInput(PC). For checkpoint: store last checkpoint location variable, update on overlap with checkpoint triggers.

Ragdoll death: disable movement, enable physics on mesh

Pattern: custom OnDeath event → GetCharacterMovement → DisableMovement() → GetMesh → SetSimulatePhysics(bSimulate=true) → SetCollisionEnabled(NoCollision) on CapsuleComponent. Key: SetSimulatePhysics is called on the MESH component (SkeletalMeshComponent), NOT on the actor or CharacterMovementComponent. Also set collision profile: SetCollisionProfileName('Ragdoll') on the mesh.

Health regeneration over time with timer

Pattern: Variables RegenRate(float)=5.0, RegenDelay(float)=3.0, RegenTimerHandle. On damage received: ClearTimer(RegenTimerHandle) → SET timer(RegenDelay, RegenTick, looping=true). RegenTick function: Branch(Health < MaxHealth) → True: SET Health = FClamp(Health + RegenRate*DeltaSeconds, 0, MaxHealth). False: ClearTimer.

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.

EventAnyDamage — receive any type of damage

Create a Blueprint for a health pickup that restores health when overlapped by the player
