Unreal Engine 5 - Weapon Inventory UI (ALS #143 )

Today, we are going to continue with the weapon inventory UI widget. Here, we will look into how to change the 3D weapon mesh that rotate in the UI widget when we click and select a different weapon to view details. So we will be able to see a 3d rendering of the selected weapon on the right side of the UI.

Unreal Engine 5 - 3D Elements in Widgets (ALS #142 )

Today, we are going to start working on a weapon inventory UI which shows the details of the weapons in the players inventory. Here, the selected weapon needs to be rendered in 3D and rotate around in the widget. So, we are going to look into how to render 3D elements in widgets today. Even though this is the 142th episode of ALS based shooter series, if you just need to learn how to render 3D objects in UI, this would help.

Unreal Engine 5 - Mirage Effect

Today I am going to implement a mirage effect in unreal engine 5. A mirage is an illusion we see in hot places like deserts where it looks like there is water in the distance, but no water for real when we go closer. We are going to implement this mirage effect as a post process material effect.

Unreal Engine 5 - Oil Flow Burning

Today I am going to implement an oil flow burning system based on the oil flow we worked on yesterday. So, when the oil touch and start burn on one end, it will start and spread the fire from that end to the other end. Here we will implement the required Niagara fire particle and setup the fire spreading movement on the dynamic oil flow path.

Unreal Engine 5 - Simple Fluid Flow Simulation

Today I am going to implement a simple Fluid flow simulation system in unreal engine 5. Here, According to the slope of the ground, fluid flow direction will be decided dynamically. We will work on both path simulation and the material that renders the oil flow.

Unreal Engine 5 - Iridescent Oil Surface Material

Today I am going to show you how to implement a simple iridescent oil surface material in unreal engine 5. Here, we will create this material to use with a decal so you can use it to make things like oil spilled on ground. But you can use the material in any surface you want.

Unreal Engine 5 - Inventory Weight and Stamina Depletion (ALS #141 )

This is episode 141 of the third-person shooter series based on Unreal Advanced Locomotion System. Today we are going to implement a system which changes the stamin depletion rate based on the weight of the weapons character is carrying. When the weight is higher, the stamina will be depleted quickly so that character will only be able to sprint a very short distance. On the other hand, when there are no weapons or only a hand gun, character will be able to sprint around a lot.

Unreal Engine 5 - Inventory Weight and Movement Speed (ALS #140 )

This is episode 140 of the third-person shooter series based on Unreal Advanced Locomotion System. Today, we are going to implement a way to  limit the maximum movement speed of the character based on the weight of the inventory. Here, I will consider only the weight of weapons towards total weight. I will define weight threshold values for running and sprinting. For example, if the character is carrying 3 weapons including a heavy RPG, character will not be able to run or sprint, only w...

Unreal Engine 5 - Burning Fuse

Today, we are going to implement a procedural burning fuse system in unreal engine 5. When the fuse is lit, the a spark will keep burning along the cord and as the fiery spark passes along the wire, the burnt part will disappear. To implement the wire, we will use spline meshes with the help of a spline component, so that you can have the fuse with any length as you draw the spline.

Unreal Engine 5 - Rain Thunder System - Rain Splashes

Today I am going to improve splashes in rain thunder system rain particle. Previously we used a texture to show the splash effect. Today, instead of that, I am going to spawn a random number of rain drop sprites that splash out from the rain drop hit location and drop back on ground. This would allow us to have more accurate results of splashes on hit surfaces. For example, we had some weird splashes coming around the charcter body and that would be fixed here.
