I have on my list of potential series to revisit the ability system series with an updated take on it that centres around 3rd person action games that includes damage classes and status effects. Don't when I would get to it though

@@RyanLaley This is still enough for a good starting point, then I will fumble my way to the other effects 🙂 Thanks for making all these videos! ❤️

Coming very soon

applying "coating" to my weapons by making the damage type a variable, was hoping youd have some insight on the infinite looping when you strike them like where would I put a validated get or a is valid node? Thanks!

check if already lit before spawning

Use a Branch

Could you expand on this? would you put it in the component after 'SwitchonEStatusEffect'? using a boolian 'IsBurning?' and setting it to true? if so, how would i know when its destroyed? is there a node I could use? Im just throwing somthing out there @@leonelsandoval987

Have you figured this out ? I know I have to multicast just doing it can't think how with a Event on hit

@@seupyrassic3144 I haven't tried yet.

Unreal itself has a ton of KZfaq tutorials on their channel.

@ Yes, but I am having a hard time finding tutorials on one particular aspect of animation. I can't believe it's that rare or difficult. I want to add a chain of animations to a game for an NPC. Not to the player character; not the sequencer. For a game. For example, a guard on duty atop the wall of a castle. He walks 10 yards or so, stops and looks out over the horizon, scratches an itch, walks back a ways, looks out and sees the Player and shouts the alarm, etc. This would be an animation that the PC would trigger and see, then decide what to do. Or maybe a deer in a forest. Walks down to a stream, looks around warily for danger, stoops and gets a drink, looks up and sees the PC, then runs off. Again, an animation that the PC would trigger and observe. Remember the Kite Demo that Epic Games released a while back? The kid ran, bent over breathing heavily, looked up, started walking again, then broke into a run. Could that sequence of animations be linked to an NPC that player characters could trigger? Thanks!

@@d_Howard You could always just trigger the behavior, maybe have a point of interest, if interacted play montage on a do once with a delay reset or something.

@ Yeah, that much I get. What I can't figure out is how to string several different animations together smoothly. For example, I have an animation of a deer walking. How to I add to it to get it to stop walking? Then look around, bend over and drink, etc. Do I need to trigger each one separately? Also, will a montage work during gameplay?

@@d_Howard So I'm going to suggest watching a bit from Coqui Games on his animal behavior kit (also well worth buying, but regardless). He gives really good tutorials on how to work with his system, which may better explain a good and fairly optimized approach as he walks through how to change his system. I'd then use wtf is channel to fill in what each of the things he's using are, and in the end, if you make it somewhere purchase his pack on appreciation of the work. I'm not affiliated or paid to say any of this, just appreciate his stuff as it helped me fill in on this better.
