Unreal Engine C++ The Ultimate Shooter Course

The course is compatible with any version of Unreal Engine, including Unreal Engine 5!

NOTE: 345+ videos are still in the process of being mastered and uploaded.

This is the most comprehensive Unreal Engine tutorial series on the internet. You will create a shooter game complete with AAA quality gameplay mechanics. Learn the theory behind the gameplay mechanics of shooter games, then implement them in this beautiful game project.

Topics covered are:

1)Character creation and movement

2)Input for PC and console controllers

3)Extensive use of Animation Blueprints (and Anim Instances, their C++ parents)

4)1D and 2D Blendspaces

5)Strafing

6)Turn-in-place

7)Aim Offsets

8)Inverse Kinematics

9)Animation Curves

10)Character lean when running

11)Crouching (with dynamic capsule resizing)

12)Turn hips while running

13)Weapon fire with recoil animations

14)Reloading

15)Weapon blast and impact particles

16)Weapon beam particles (smoke trails)

17)Bullet shell eject particles

18)Sound effects

Blending animations per bone, by bool, and by enum – play one animation with one part of the body (running or crouching) while simultaneously playing another animation with another part of the body (reload, aim, or weapon fire)

1)Attach and equip different weapons (pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles)

2)Automatic and semi-automatic gunfire

3)Move different gun parts (the clip/magazine, and pistol slide) during animations

4)Camera zoom while aiming

5)Dynamic crosshairs that spread in reaction to:

6)Character speed

7)Weapon fire

8)Aiming

9)Jumping

22)Material creation, including:

23)Post-process materials

24)Dynamic material instances

25)Setting material properties from C++

26)Driving material properties with curves

27)Material functions

28)Blending materials together

29)Outline effects
