WEBVTT 00:07.050 --> 00:10.020 Okay, so we have our shaman. 00:10.020 --> 00:12.810 We have an attack montage for the shaman. 00:12.810 --> 00:16.860 It's time for our shaman to have an attack ability. 00:17.160 --> 00:22.770 Now, that means we need to figure out what exactly we want this goblin to do. 00:22.770 --> 00:26.070 And I'd like to launch a projectile. 00:26.100 --> 00:27.570 Perhaps a fireball. 00:27.600 --> 00:34.110 Maybe this can be a fire shaman, at least for now, just so we can have something happening. 00:34.110 --> 00:39.810 So for that reason, I'd like to take a look at the abilities we already have. 00:40.020 --> 00:47.880 Now, if we go into blueprints, ability system, enemy abilities, we have this ranged attack and ranged 00:47.880 --> 00:54.020 attack seems to have everything we need for a shaman to launch a projectile. 00:54.030 --> 00:57.390 Let's go through it and see if that's the case. 00:57.420 --> 01:02.790 As soon as we activate the ability, we get our combat target that should be set from our behavior tree 01:02.790 --> 01:05.280 in the behavior tree task attack. 01:05.400 --> 01:07.570 Then we update the facing target. 01:07.570 --> 01:09.270 That's for motion warping. 01:09.280 --> 01:13.830 We get our attack montages and get a random element from that. 01:13.840 --> 01:15.220 If there's more than one. 01:15.220 --> 01:17.320 If there's just one, we get that one. 01:17.320 --> 01:23.230 It's a tag montage that we get from this array, which has a montage and a montage tag. 01:23.230 --> 01:24.820 We play that montage. 01:24.820 --> 01:27.010 We could totally do that with our shaman. 01:27.040 --> 01:33.910 The shamans tag is set to the weapon where waiting for a gameplay event with that tag. 01:33.910 --> 01:39.940 Once that event is received, we get the combat socket location using that tag, and then we get our 01:39.940 --> 01:45.190 combat target, get its location and spawn a projectile at that target. 01:45.220 --> 01:50.070 That is basically everything we need for our shaman as well. 01:50.080 --> 01:54.160 Now, there are a couple of things that we'd probably want to change. 01:54.160 --> 01:59.110 If we go to our class defaults, we'll see that we have the projectile class set to rock. 01:59.110 --> 02:04.300 Well, we could probably change that out, but the damage effect could be the same. 02:04.390 --> 02:10.660 Now we'd want to change the damage type, probably to abilities firebolt, but basically everything 02:10.660 --> 02:12.460 else here could be the same. 02:12.460 --> 02:19.180 So for that reason, I'd like to make a child blueprint based on the ranged attack ability and call 02:19.180 --> 02:21.340 this enemy fireball. 02:21.940 --> 02:28.960 So I'm going to right click on GA Ranged Attack, create a Child Blueprint class and call this GA underscore 02:28.960 --> 02:33.940 enemy fireball or Firebolt. 02:34.210 --> 02:35.560 That's what it's called. 02:35.560 --> 02:43.180 So we'll open up our enemy Firebolt and just change this so that it has everything we need for the projectile 02:43.180 --> 02:43.600 class. 02:43.600 --> 02:48.280 I'm going to choose Bpy Firebolt for the damage type. 02:48.280 --> 02:52.930 I'm actually going to change the key because this is no longer a physical damage type. 02:52.930 --> 02:59.410 I'm going to change it to fire and I'm going to change the curve from the curve table to abilities. 02:59.410 --> 03:06.100 Dot Firebolt Notice that it starts off at ten damage and it's a little bit more formidable. 03:06.100 --> 03:07.380 That's what I want. 03:07.390 --> 03:13.750 So now that I have an enemy firebolt ability, I can assign that in the class defaults. 03:13.780 --> 03:20.080 We can go to blueprints, ability system data and open character class info. 03:20.080 --> 03:28.250 And we know that our BP shaman is an Elementalist and it's going to be granted the primary attributes 03:28.250 --> 03:32.780 for an Elementalist as well as the start up abilities for the Elementalist. 03:32.810 --> 03:40.640 We can click plus and add a start up ability and choose enemy firebolt and now the enemy will have the 03:40.640 --> 03:46.730 ability to launch a firebolt Let's just see how this works straight out of the box and see if there's 03:46.730 --> 03:49.070 anything else that we need to do. 03:49.100 --> 03:52.230 Of course we're going to need to bring in a shaman, aren't we? 03:52.250 --> 03:58.790 So to make things a little less distracting, I'm going to go ahead and take out a couple of these spear 03:58.820 --> 03:59.810 goblins. 03:59.840 --> 04:05.810 I'll leave one of them and I'll go ahead and move my big beast ghoul over there. 04:05.810 --> 04:10.640 Make some room here, and let's bring in the goblin shaman. 04:10.640 --> 04:14.750 So, character shaman, BP shaman. 04:14.750 --> 04:16.670 I'm going to bring one in right there. 04:17.840 --> 04:21.140 I'll go ahead and rotate it so it's facing the correct direction. 04:21.140 --> 04:22.280 Same for my ghoul. 04:22.280 --> 04:24.710 And let's go ahead and. 04:25.500 --> 04:26.430 Playtest. 04:27.950 --> 04:29.870 Here comes the goblin shaman. 04:29.870 --> 04:30.940 And look at that. 04:30.950 --> 04:34.430 It is definitely launching fireballs at me. 04:35.440 --> 04:38.680 And the fireballs can hit other enemies. 04:38.680 --> 04:40.690 So we'll have to take care of that. 04:40.690 --> 04:43.000 But it's causing a good amount of damage. 04:43.000 --> 04:46.090 Now I'm noticing the Goblin shaman is a little fast. 04:46.090 --> 04:48.040 I'd like to slow it down a bit. 04:48.040 --> 04:50.140 So let's go to Shaman. 04:50.140 --> 04:53.860 We have our own base walk speed variable. 04:53.860 --> 04:55.930 I'm going to set that down a bit. 04:55.960 --> 04:57.550 Let's try 75. 04:57.580 --> 05:00.640 That's the max on its blend space, I believe. 05:00.670 --> 05:02.740 And let's see if that looks better. 05:02.740 --> 05:05.620 I do believe I like that better now. 05:05.620 --> 05:13.120 I also see that it's a little bit choppy when it comes to turning, just like we had that issue with 05:13.120 --> 05:13.900 our. 05:14.820 --> 05:15.540 Ghoul. 05:16.910 --> 05:25.240 And I believe I can adjust its rotation rate on the character movement component. 05:25.250 --> 05:27.140 So I'm going to search for that. 05:27.770 --> 05:33.440 And these are things that you'll typically adjust based on the different types of enemies. 05:33.440 --> 05:36.850 They're all going to have slightly different stats here. 05:36.860 --> 05:42.860 I'm going to bring this down to 200 and see if that looks better when that shaman turns. 05:44.140 --> 05:48.040 It's a little bit fast still, but I'm kind of okay with it. 05:48.040 --> 05:49.220 I think that's fine. 05:49.240 --> 05:54.610 Now he's launching fireballs at me as soon as it gets in range. 05:57.050 --> 05:59.780 And that fireball does a good deal of damage. 05:59.780 --> 06:01.970 And I just got taken out. 06:02.180 --> 06:03.290 All right. 06:03.290 --> 06:05.600 So that's pretty cool. 06:05.900 --> 06:06.890 I'm liking that. 06:06.890 --> 06:07.910 I'm liking it. 06:07.940 --> 06:15.500 Now that we have a shaman that can launch fireballs, we're going to want to make sure that those fireballs 06:15.500 --> 06:17.780 can't hit the other enemies. 06:17.810 --> 06:20.180 We saw that that was a problem, right? 06:23.060 --> 06:23.930 Or is it? 06:23.930 --> 06:25.580 Let me just make sure. 06:29.540 --> 06:31.520 It should still launch one here in a second. 06:31.520 --> 06:33.500 Let's see if it launches one and hits. 06:33.770 --> 06:35.570 Nope, it doesn't hit the other enemies. 06:35.570 --> 06:37.010 We took care of that. 06:37.130 --> 06:38.000 Excellent. 06:38.700 --> 06:39.930 All right. 06:40.080 --> 06:46.320 Now, something I'm noticing is when we launch a fireball, we don't get that sound, the fireball launching 06:46.320 --> 06:47.010 sound. 06:47.010 --> 06:53.280 And in fact, our slingshot enemies don't have any sounds when they're launching their slingshots. 06:53.400 --> 06:56.610 It'd be kind of nice to add some sounds. 06:56.610 --> 07:04.490 And those sounds are typically what we add to our animation montages as sound notifies. 07:04.500 --> 07:06.120 That's typically the best way. 07:06.150 --> 07:12.150 Now there are gameplay cues which we haven't gotten into yet, and don't worry, we will. 07:12.180 --> 07:18.690 But sounds for launching projectiles and attacking those belong on animation montages. 07:18.690 --> 07:22.210 So we could really just quickly add that to our game. 07:22.230 --> 07:28.220 We can go to our montage for our Shaman attack and we can add a sound notify. 07:28.230 --> 07:35.550 I'm going to add a notify track for sound and right click here, add a notify play sound. 07:35.550 --> 07:46.510 And for that sound I'm going to search for Fire Bolt and here's SFX Fire Bolt and we can browse to it 07:46.510 --> 07:47.410 and hear it. 07:47.800 --> 07:49.450 That's what it sounds like. 07:49.600 --> 07:55.990 So I'd like that for my shaman, but I'd also like to go to my assets. 07:57.160 --> 07:58.200 Enemies. 07:58.240 --> 08:00.610 Goblin animations. 08:00.610 --> 08:05.170 Slingshot and get my goblin slingshot attack montage. 08:05.170 --> 08:08.320 And I'd like to play a sound here. 08:08.410 --> 08:17.110 So let's add another track here called Sound and add a notify play sound. 08:17.110 --> 08:18.790 And what do we have? 08:18.790 --> 08:22.030 Let's actually go and check our assets folder. 08:22.060 --> 08:24.820 Go to Sounds Slingshot. 08:25.470 --> 08:27.450 And there's a perfect sound. 08:27.450 --> 08:29.970 I'm going to click on that and hear for the sound. 08:29.970 --> 08:34.530 I'm going to stick it in there and I'm going to put it right there at the beginning. 08:35.730 --> 08:37.500 And let's see how that sounds. 08:39.090 --> 08:40.140 Oh, that's nice. 08:40.140 --> 08:42.090 That is a huge difference. 08:46.050 --> 08:46.620 Amazing. 08:46.620 --> 08:49.650 What a huge difference just a couple sounds can make. 08:50.190 --> 08:53.460 So that is really improving. 08:53.460 --> 08:54.110 Our combat. 08:54.120 --> 08:56.100 Things are looking really nice. 08:56.100 --> 08:57.630 So excellent job. 08:57.630 --> 09:03.950 And I'm noticing that some of my enemies are a little too high. 09:03.960 --> 09:06.810 So just a quick little tweak here. 09:06.810 --> 09:14.190 I'm going to right click on my ghoul and edit ghoul and just bring it on down just a tad. 09:14.810 --> 09:16.670 Without snapping on. 09:16.970 --> 09:19.190 I just wanted a little bit lower. 09:24.590 --> 09:26.350 That's a little bit better. 09:26.360 --> 09:28.880 Maybe an inch or so more. 09:29.910 --> 09:34.890 It's even okay if the feet go into the ground a little, that's better. 09:34.890 --> 09:39.870 And I believe my other enemies are a little high off the ground, too. 09:39.900 --> 09:42.870 So just a little tweak before we wrap up. 09:42.900 --> 09:46.110 Let's get those feet down on the ground, shall we? 09:47.040 --> 09:48.870 Just a little lower there. 09:49.260 --> 09:54.360 And these ones are a little bit noticeable. 09:54.360 --> 09:59.760 And, of course, this is going to depend on the ground that they're on as well. 10:00.090 --> 10:06.270 I'm just going to move them over to a flat ground as that's going to be more representative. 10:06.300 --> 10:14.640 These ones are actually not too bad, but we can go into their blueprints and bring them down just slightly. 10:16.830 --> 10:21.480 Like so and now everything is actually on the ground. 10:21.510 --> 10:23.280 Let's look at our shaman. 10:23.580 --> 10:24.580 Can't forget the shaman. 10:24.600 --> 10:25.800 The shaman looks good. 10:25.800 --> 10:28.680 And that's going to do it. 10:28.920 --> 10:29.700 Excellent job. 10:29.730 --> 10:30.810 I'm going to save all. 10:30.810 --> 10:33.000 And I'll see you in the next video.
