4. Level Design and Aesthetics

Level design is one of the most important parts of any game. A good level not only creates a suitable environment but also considers the timing of events in creating an enjoyable experience. Coupled with that, a good level tells a story without using words.

Widgets, UMGs, and UI; they are all basically the same thing really. In this section, we will take a look at how to make menus and HUDs using widgets. We also take a look at how to add SFX to our widgets and blueprints.

Weapon BP Overview

In this chapter, we take a look at the BP_Pickup_Rifle and explain how the pick-up mechanics work and what happens when we shoot with the rifle.

BP_Pickup_Rifle has a SphereCollision component once a player overlaps with this invisible sphere, an event called On Begin Overlap fires off which first checks the overlapping actor and makes sure that it is a BP_FirstPersonCharacter, then saves a copy of that and checks if the player already has a weapon in their hands. If they do not, then it adds a component called BP_Weapon_Component to the FirstPersonCharacter.

The BP_Weapon_Component is then attached to the hands of the player and then BP_Pickup_Rifle destroys itself.
The BP_WeaponComponent handles the logic of spawning a projectile (Bp_FirstPersonProjectile), playing a sound of gunfire and an animation (for the arms).
