BP_LPSP_PCH

Introduction

This is the main blueprint in the asset. It represents the character actor that the player controls and contains all the functionality that ties in the asset's parts. This includes things like firing, aiming, reloading, inspecting, and more, all of which are handled here. Additionally, we handle transitions from first to third person and so on.

If you seek to access the BP_LPSP_PCH Blueprint, it is conveniently located at the following path: LowPolyShooterPack/Core/Characters/BP_LPSP_PCH.

Functions

Play Footsteps:

This function plays a footstep Sound Cue whenever it is needed. For better effect, it should be called every frame. Although currently bare-bones, the function works well enough to be kept in the codebase.

Should Be Aiming:

This function returns true if the character should be aiming right now. We use it to check whether we should start or stop aiming after we already know that the player wants to do so.

Can Fire:

This function returns true if the character can fire their weapon.

Has Time Passed:

Returns true if a certain time has passed.

Has Rate Passed:

Returns true if a certain fire rate has passed.

Should Be Running:

This function returns true if the character should be running at the moment. We use it to determine whether to start or stop running after we have determined that the player wants to do so.

Is Weapon Ammunition Full:

This function returns true if the character's equipped weapon is fully loaded with ammunition, meaning that its current magazine is full.

Is Weapon Ammunition Empty:

This function returns true if the character's equipped weapon has no ammunition.

Try Launch Grenade:

This function spawns and launches a grenade forward from the character, but only if there are enough grenades left. It does not play any animations. Its sole purpose is to spawn the grenade. Any throwing animations are played in the Input Graph, after the Input Grenade event.

Stop Inspecting:

Stops the animation montage inspection from playing.

Update Inspecting For States:

This code checks whether the character is aiming or running. If it is, it immediately stops the inspection of the Animation Montage.

Get Animation Values:

Updates local values based on the animation curves.

Try Enabling Weapon Laser:

This function attempts to activate the laser on the currently equipped weapon. Before doing so, it checks whether it is allowed to by retrieving a value from CanUpdateLaser.

Try Toggling Weapon Laser:

This action attempts to turn off the laser of the currently equipped weapon. Before doing so, it verifies whether this is allowed by calling the CanUpdateLaser method, which retrieves a boolean value.

Disable Weapon Laser:

Disables the laser of the equipped weapon immediately.

Aim:

Update all values to reflect that the character is now aiming.

Disable Player Input:

This function disables input for the character and ensures that all private variables remain compatible with it. If you call the normal Actor Disable Input function instead of this one, issues may arise, such as players holding buttons.

Add Widgets To Viewport:

Add the user interface to the screen.

Can Update Weapon Laser:

Return true if the character can change the state of its weapon lasers.

Game Ability Stop:

This function stops a game ability and adds back the removed tags if there is no other animation montage currently playing. We check if a montage is playing before adding back the removed tags because tags are frequently added and removed when animations play, which could cause issues.

Get View Location:

This function returns the offset from the top of the character's capsule at which we should position the first-person view.

Update Current Weapon:

Update the current weapon to match the new index. Do not call this function if you have not first changed the "Weapon Inventory Index" property, otherwise there may be unintended consequences.

Create Widget Crosshair:

This function creates and adds the crosshair User Widget to the screen.

Try Change Weapon Settings Physical:

This changes the physical settings of the character-equipped weapon.

Is Allowed To Interact:

This function returns true if the character can interact with the world without any problems.

Get Movement Speed:

This function returns the current SSpeed struct value to use for the character's movement speed. The SSpeed struct contains movement data that needs to be refreshed every frame.

Has Any Ammunition Of Weapon Type:

This function returns true if the character currently has any ammunition of the weapon type equipped.

Get Forward Rotation:

This function returns the rotation towards which the character is looking, accounting for various additional factors and rotation smoothing.

Can Lower Weapon:

This function returns true if the equipped weapon can be lowered.

Check Automatic Leaning:

This function checks if the character should automatically lean, and if so, updates all values to match that. It performs all necessary operations to allow the character to peek from corners (i.e. automatically lean).

Is Holding Fire Pure:

This function returns true if the player is holding the firing button and the character is allowed to fire. It is used to prevent actions like running while firing. Although it isn't perfect, we continuously improve its feel with each update.

Is Moving:

The Is Moving function is responsible for determining whether the character is currently moving. It returns a boolean value of true if the character is in motion, and false if the character is stationary. This function is used in various parts of the codebase to determine the character's movement state and adjust gameplay accordingly.

For example, it could be used to prevent the player from firing while moving, or to trigger certain animations or sound effects when the character starts or stops moving. This function is an essential part of the BP_LPSP_PCH blueprint and provides critical functionality for controlling character movement in the game.

Get Added Rotations:

The Get Added Rotations function is responsible for calculating and returning the final Rotator value that should be added to the Character's control rotation to obtain the Camera's final rotation. This value is crucial for ensuring that the Camera is pointing in the correct direction based on the character's movement and rotation.

Trace For Lowered State:

To determine if a character should lower their weapon, check for traces in front of them. If the equipped weapon should be lowered, this ability will also be activated.

Trace For Forward Blocked:

We use traces in front of the character to determine if there is a wall. This technique is useful for corner peeking.

Update Leaning Values:

Interpolates and sets all the leaning values.

Get Avoidance Trace Inputs:

This utility function returns the values that should be used to trace from the character when checking for walls to avoid. It provides all the necessary values for avoidance and corner peeking.

Trace For Leaning Side:

Trace from one side of the character forward. This is helpful for checking if there are walls in front of the character when it leans in a specific direction. We call this repeatedly when tracing for corner peeking.

Update Movement Values:

Update all of the character's movement values based on settings that come from the weapon. Call this every frame for better results.

Update Show Reload Prompt:

Updates the value of "Show Reload Prompt.”

Interpolate Camera Recoil:

This function retrieves the recoil value of the currently equipped weapon at a specified time. It then uses a custom Spring Interpolation node to interpolate the value.

Is Out Of Weapon Ammunition Type:

This function returns true if the character's ammunition pool is empty for the given ammunition type, and the current weapon also has no ammunition.

Is Low On Ammo:

This function returns true if the character is running low on a given type of ammunition. We use it to determine when to display the "Low Ammo" prompt.

Try Set Field Of View Alpha:

This function enables easy setting of the field of view for the arms and other first-person specific aspects of the character. It is crucial to call this function when starting the game to correct the field of view and prevent clipping with walls.

Set Up All Timeline Curves:

Calling this function in BeginPlay ensures that all timelines in the character blueprint are properly initialized and ready to play the correct curves during gameplay.

Set Up Mapping Context:

This function adds a mapping context to the input subsystem, which enables all actions to be properly mapped to inputs. It is a basic necessity when using the Enhanced Input System.

Interpolate Camera Jumping Curves:

This function interpolates the camera's jumping-related curves to their target and ensures that the value is set, so we can later read it when applying rotations to the camera.

It is a local player function that does not need to be called outside of it.

Interpolate Viewmodel Curves:

This function handles the spring interpolations for all viewmodel curves. It needs to be called every frame for proper functionality, as interpolation is tied to frames.

Reset Recoil:

This function resets the camera's recoil and sets its control rotation to match the current rotation, preventing any strange snapping issues.

Handle Playing Falling Timeline:

Make sure that the viewmodel's falling values are only applied when the character is actually falling. These values should be cleared when grounded.

Get Equipped Item Pure:

Returns the currently equipped item.

Get Holster State Pure:

Returns the currently equipped item.

Update Field Of View:

Updates the general viewmodel field of view to the correct value.

Is Inputing Movement:

Returns true if the Character is moving.

Manage Rotations:

Ideally, this function should be called every frame to update the capsule and spring arm rotation values. This is necessary for the character to face in the correct direction, particularly in third-person view.

Set Capsule Rotation:

Sets the value of Capsule Rotation.

Set Rotations:

This function sets the relative rotation of the capsule component to the correct capsule rotation. It is necessary to call this function every frame for things to work properly.

Update Spring Arm Properties:

This updates the properties necessary for the Spring Arm component to work properly. This includes things like its distance from the character and the offset at which it is positioned. This can be especially helpful for third-person blending, which is the main function of the component.

Update Values For Perspective:

This step updates all the necessary values for the character to be properly set up in either first or third person perspective. This includes updating mesh visibility, fields of view, and other relevant factors.

Play Level Fade:

Plays a sequence that fades in the level. This may be a remnant of an earlier setup.

Update Character Materials:

Update the materials for both the first and third person character meshes based on the setup in the Character Material variable.

Set Up Full Body Meshes:

This code adds all the meshes that should only be visible for the full body character to an array, and updates the required properties for all of them. One of these properties is the field of view material value.

Get Inventory Attach Component:

This component specifies where to attach the inventory component to ensure that all equipped items appear correctly on screen. The attachment location depends on several variables.

Is Third Person Aiming Angle Incorrect:

This function returns true if the character is looking in a direction that should block aiming by default. This is very helpful because some things break when looking in odd directions.

Force Third Person Angle Lowered:

This function returns true if the equipped item of the character should be lowered due to the angle at which they are currently looking.

Update Equipped Item Physical Settings:

This method updates the physical settings of the equipped item to match the character's current state, including third-person and holstered states.

Update Field Of View Materials For View:

This method updates the character's materials field of view parameter to match its current view mode. For example, when in third-person, we don't want the field of view material to have any effect, but when in first-person, we want it to be active. That's the essence of what this method does.

Update Character Material Type For View:

This method helps update the character's materials, ensuring each is of the correct "type." Each material has a "type" value that determines whether it uses a first-person texture (at zero) or a third-person one (at one). These values need to be set differently for the arms and the full-body character, which is what this method accomplishes.

Is AI:

This variable returns true if the character is controlled by AI, as opposed to a human player.

Get Blackboard Target:

This function retrieves the current target from the character's blackboard. The blackboard is an object that stores key-value pairs for use by AI controllers.

Grenade Throw Force Range:

This is the default throwing velocity/force used when throwing grenades. This value may be multiplied by other factors before being applied.

Landing Debug Velocity:

If enabled, the character's velocity at the moment of landing will be printed on screen. This feature is very helpful for dealing with anything related to landing effects.

Landing Minimum Velocity:

This value represents the minimum landing velocity required for the character to trigger landing sound effects and procedural movements. It can be challenging to determine an appropriate number for this, but setting "Landing Debug Velocity" to true can be helpful in this process.

Landing Shake:

Camera shake is applied when the character lands on the ground after falling for a while. Currently, it is not affected by the height or duration of the fall, but it may be in the future.

Landing Amplitude Curve:

This curve maps the character's velocity at the point of landing to the value used to multiply the landing camera shake and procedural effects. The higher the value at a given time in this curve, the more the camera will shake when landing with that velocity.
