Learning Unreal: Creating a Simple FPS

In today's Learning Unreal post, I created a simple first-person shooter game using everything I've learnt up to this point. If you also want to try creating this simple game, you can find the tutorial I used here.

This is a very intense version of graffiti.

In this simple game, you're given a gun that you can use to destroy the wall of green blocks. You can also walk and look around the area to help you find a better position, if you so choose. Finally, you can reset the board by shooting the red button in the front.

Some of the extra things I learned during this part included:

• Creating a Character Pawn

• Binding input to mouse movement

• Creating my own Blueprint class hierarchy

• Using line tracing and the information gained from it

• Applying and handling damage

I bet you could get very creative with the pictures you could draw here.
