WEBVTT 00:06.820 --> 00:07.900 Welcome back. 00:07.930 --> 00:10.150 So we have ranged attackers. 00:10.150 --> 00:12.370 We have melee attackers. 00:12.400 --> 00:14.190 Things are looking pretty good. 00:14.200 --> 00:23.080 But there's another kind of attacker that I'd like in our project, and that is a spell casting attacker. 00:23.290 --> 00:31.780 And it just so happens that in our assets, if we go to enemies and Shaman, we can open this skeletal 00:31.780 --> 00:36.550 mesh for the shaman and it has a nice staff and everything. 00:36.550 --> 00:40.600 So this is perfect for a magic casting attacker. 00:40.600 --> 00:45.490 So for this section, we're going to set up a goblin shaman. 00:45.700 --> 00:52.420 Now, this is going to involve a number of steps and we're going to get to reuse some of the work that 00:52.420 --> 00:53.650 we've already done. 00:53.650 --> 00:59.410 So let's take this step by step as we create our new type of enemy. 00:59.410 --> 01:02.470 And this will be the goblin shaman. 01:02.590 --> 01:04.330 It's not going to be a warrior. 01:04.330 --> 01:06.010 It's not going to be a ranger. 01:06.010 --> 01:09.850 It's going to be an elementalist much like aura. 01:09.860 --> 01:14.900 So without further ado, let's make our new enemy type. 01:14.930 --> 01:22.280 We're going to go into blueprints and character where we have our goblin spear, our goblin slingshot 01:22.280 --> 01:23.420 and our ghoul. 01:23.450 --> 01:30.440 We're going to make a new folder for the shaman and of course we're going to use our enemy base. 01:30.440 --> 01:37.820 So I'm going to right click on it, create a Child Blueprint class and call this Bpy underscore Shaman 01:37.820 --> 01:39.920 and I'll move it into the Shaman folder. 01:39.920 --> 01:43.250 Move here and we need an animation blueprint. 01:43.250 --> 01:48.500 So we're going to right click, we're going to make a child and in Blueprint with Skeleton and we're 01:48.500 --> 01:57.620 going to choose SRC shaman, create child call this AVP, underscore Shaman and move this into the Shaman 01:57.620 --> 02:00.080 folder with our blueprint. 02:00.700 --> 02:01.090 Okay. 02:01.090 --> 02:05.980 So we have a number of things that we do when we create a new character blueprint. 02:06.010 --> 02:08.650 We're going to double click on it and open it up. 02:08.650 --> 02:11.440 And first of all, select our mesh. 02:11.440 --> 02:16.390 So for the skeletal mesh asset, we're going to choose Shaman. 02:16.570 --> 02:22.300 Now it's quite small, so we're going to want to adjust that capsule size. 02:22.300 --> 02:29.440 And in fact, we might just get away with taking our capsule and reducing its half height a bit and 02:29.440 --> 02:31.630 just bringing that shaman down. 02:31.630 --> 02:34.720 And I think that's going to just about do it. 02:34.750 --> 02:40.060 We're definitely going to want to rotate the shaman forward like so. 02:40.060 --> 02:42.730 And we basically have a shaman. 02:42.940 --> 02:45.220 So that's looking pretty good. 02:45.310 --> 02:47.110 Now it does have a weapon. 02:47.110 --> 02:53.260 We're going to select the skeletal mesh that's going to be the Shaman staff, skeletal mesh. 02:53.260 --> 02:57.880 And notice that it's actually right there in the center. 02:57.880 --> 03:02.090 So how did we get our spear to behave or for our spear goblin? 03:02.090 --> 03:03.620 Well, let's go take a look. 03:03.680 --> 03:04.400 Goblin. 03:04.400 --> 03:05.180 Spear. 03:05.210 --> 03:06.440 Let's open it up. 03:06.440 --> 03:12.740 Here's the viewport and we'll notice that it's just in the hand, and that's looking like it should, 03:12.740 --> 03:13.250 Right? 03:13.250 --> 03:16.280 Well, we're not doing anything in the construction script. 03:16.280 --> 03:18.810 So how are we attaching that weapon? 03:18.830 --> 03:20.810 Well, I'm going to pull up writer. 03:20.840 --> 03:28.370 I'm going to close all my tabs and open up my private folder character and let's just see what we're 03:28.370 --> 03:31.010 doing in our character base for our weapon. 03:31.690 --> 03:38.110 Looks like we're attaching it and we're calling setup attachment with weapon hand socket. 03:38.110 --> 03:41.650 So we're attaching to the mesh to that socket. 03:41.680 --> 03:44.800 We're going to need to make sure our shaman has that socket. 03:44.800 --> 03:52.210 So let's go to our shaman skeletal mesh, go to its skeleton tree and see if we can find that hand. 03:52.210 --> 03:54.700 And it's going to be in that left hand, it looks like. 03:54.700 --> 03:58.840 And here's hand L, and here's the left hand socket. 03:58.870 --> 04:01.900 This needs to be actually weapon hand socket. 04:01.900 --> 04:07.630 So let's change that to weapon hand socket and save that. 04:07.630 --> 04:14.980 And back in Shaman, we see that that staff is now connected to the hand socket. 04:14.980 --> 04:17.440 So that's how it should look. 04:18.610 --> 04:20.620 Okay, so that's looking great. 04:20.650 --> 04:24.310 We now need to set up our animation blueprint. 04:24.340 --> 04:29.400 So back to content blueprints, Character and Shaman. 04:29.410 --> 04:34.060 Let's go to App Shaman and make sure we have this all set up. 04:34.090 --> 04:40.050 Now, if we go to asset override and extend everything, we need a blend space player. 04:40.060 --> 04:44.440 We don't have one, so we're going to create one. 04:44.530 --> 04:47.700 We see that we have Shaman Idle and Walk. 04:47.710 --> 04:53.230 I'm going to double click on Shaman Idle and browse to that asset so we can make our blend space. 04:53.230 --> 04:54.790 I'm going to go ahead and make it here. 04:54.790 --> 05:01.930 By the way, this is what the idle looks like and the walk is this kind of shuffling walk here. 05:01.930 --> 05:06.400 So we're going to have a slow moving old goblin shaman. 05:06.790 --> 05:09.060 Let's go ahead and make that blend space. 05:09.070 --> 05:16.270 So we'll right click, go to animation and blend space and select our shaman skeleton. 05:16.270 --> 05:20.480 We're going to call this BS, underscore for Idle Walk. 05:20.690 --> 05:22.370 We're going to open that up. 05:23.280 --> 05:27.810 And here in Idle Walk, we're going to bring in our idle animation. 05:27.810 --> 05:33.690 I'm going to hold shift so it snaps to the beginning and we're not going to move that fast. 05:33.690 --> 05:38.510 So I think I'm going to take my horizontal axis, which I'm going to name speed. 05:38.520 --> 05:44.730 I'm going to put that maximum axis value at something low, perhaps 75 ish. 05:44.730 --> 05:50.010 We might change it, but we're going to put that to 75 and stick the walk right there at the end of 05:50.010 --> 05:50.370 it. 05:50.370 --> 05:52.260 And we can see that walk. 05:52.260 --> 05:58.020 And just like we did with our other blend spaces, I'm going to take my weight speed and set that to 05:58.020 --> 06:01.740 a value of four and we'll tweak that if we need to. 06:01.740 --> 06:04.530 But now we have our idle walk blend space. 06:04.530 --> 06:10.830 We can come back into our Shaman animation blueprint, select it and hit compile and we see that our 06:10.830 --> 06:12.210 shaman is idling. 06:12.210 --> 06:20.010 And if we go back to our shaman, we can select our mesh and choose an anim class choosing a shaman. 06:20.010 --> 06:22.900 And our shaman is idling here as well. 06:22.900 --> 06:26.170 So that's going to be our basic setup. 06:26.170 --> 06:29.110 It looks like everything's looking pretty good. 06:29.110 --> 06:37.750 We have a number of things to take care of in relation to combat, but as far as our Shaman class, 06:37.750 --> 06:39.250 we have it all set up. 06:39.250 --> 06:47.140 Now, speaking of class, if I go to Bpy Shaman self and I search for character class defaults. 06:47.710 --> 06:49.590 We have this character class. 06:49.600 --> 06:55.900 We want our character class for the shaman, not set to warrior but elementalist. 06:55.900 --> 07:05.710 And that way our shaman is going to be initialized using the attribute values and the gameplay abilities 07:05.740 --> 07:08.710 appropriate for the Elementalist enemy type. 07:08.710 --> 07:11.980 And that's something we set in one of our data assets, isn't it? 07:11.980 --> 07:20.170 So now that we have a goblin shaman, it's time to go through all the steps to make this shaman work 07:20.170 --> 07:21.430 for our game. 07:21.430 --> 07:24.340 And that's going to be what this section is all about. 07:24.340 --> 07:25.930 So excellent job. 07:25.930 --> 07:27.760 We now have a goblin shaman. 07:27.760 --> 07:31.420 I'm going to save all, and I'll see you in the next video.
