WEBVTT 00:07.450 --> 00:08.800 Welcome back. 00:08.800 --> 00:16.570 Now, if I take my one and only goblin here and bring it in and move it around and shock it, let's 00:16.570 --> 00:17.860 see what happens. 00:17.860 --> 00:22.690 I've got my number of players set to one and I'm going to stun this thing. 00:22.690 --> 00:27.460 But before I stun, actually, we actually didn't get a chance to stun there. 00:27.460 --> 00:31.630 Notice that things look a little funny and they also sound kind of funny. 00:31.630 --> 00:33.070 You probably noticed. 00:34.050 --> 00:40.080 We're applying a damage effect ten times per second, which means we're playing that hit react ten times 00:40.080 --> 00:40.920 per second. 00:40.920 --> 00:42.660 And that looks kind of funny. 00:42.990 --> 00:46.140 Now, what I like to do is just not hit react. 00:46.140 --> 00:49.110 In this case, as we're electrocuting. 00:49.110 --> 00:53.280 I don't think we really need necessarily to play that hit react. 00:53.310 --> 00:59.170 Instead, what I'd like to do is play a sort of shock loop animation. 00:59.190 --> 01:08.220 If we go to assets and enemies and goblin animations spear, we can see that there's a shock loop which 01:08.220 --> 01:14.430 looks like the goblins getting shocked, and that's going to look a lot better, I think, than simply 01:14.460 --> 01:19.380 playing this hit react ten times a second as well as playing the sound. 01:19.410 --> 01:23.050 It's a little obnoxious, so I'd like to fix that. 01:23.070 --> 01:28.920 And another thing I notice is if I shock the enemy as soon as that hit react is finished, it goes into 01:28.920 --> 01:31.860 the stunned animation a little bit abruptly. 01:31.980 --> 01:34.080 See, it kind of jerks right there. 01:34.260 --> 01:35.740 Watch this again. 01:35.760 --> 01:37.230 I'll full screen it. 01:40.460 --> 01:41.540 Right there. 01:41.540 --> 01:42.560 It kind of jumped. 01:42.590 --> 01:46.350 Now that has to do with blending out for the hit react. 01:46.370 --> 01:52.880 If we go to the hit react and set the blend out time to a higher value, say 0.3, then that's going 01:52.880 --> 01:54.890 to fix that and make it more smooth. 01:55.860 --> 01:57.600 So again hit react. 01:57.600 --> 02:00.350 And there's a smooth transition. 02:00.360 --> 02:03.030 So we can do that for the spear goblin. 02:03.030 --> 02:04.380 We can do it for the slingshot. 02:04.410 --> 02:05.880 Hit react as well. 02:06.060 --> 02:08.760 We'll set that blend out time to 0.3. 02:08.880 --> 02:13.530 And we can even do it for the other enemy types as well, such as the ghoul. 02:13.890 --> 02:18.120 We can go to the ghoul hit react to its blend out time. 02:18.120 --> 02:23.490 It looks like it's 0.25, and we can handle the other enemies as we need to. 02:23.490 --> 02:30.780 But what I'd like to do now is to give the goblin some kind of variable, to know that it's being shocked, 02:30.780 --> 02:35.850 and if it is being shocked, then we should suppress that hit react. 02:35.880 --> 02:40.080 Now, we can do this in a number of ways, but I'd like to do it very simply. 02:40.080 --> 02:46.650 I'd like to just have a variable on the enemy, or even the base character to know if we're shocked. 02:46.770 --> 02:54.660 And if we are, well, then we can go ahead and check that we can add a interface function to be able 02:54.660 --> 03:01.740 to check that, and we can even have an interface function to set it really easily. 03:01.740 --> 03:04.980 So as soon as we're say adding that. 03:05.670 --> 03:08.100 Gameplay cue for the electric beam. 03:08.100 --> 03:13.980 We could also set that victim to be in the shock loop. 03:14.010 --> 03:16.950 So that's what I'd like to do in this video. 03:17.040 --> 03:19.040 So here's what I'm going to do. 03:19.050 --> 03:22.110 I'm going to go into a character base. 03:22.200 --> 03:29.670 I'm going to close all tabs and go to the public folder into character or a character base, and just 03:29.670 --> 03:31.890 under is stunned and is burned. 03:31.920 --> 03:35.990 We're going to add another bool called be in shock loop. 03:36.000 --> 03:40.110 Now this will be false and this could be replicated as well. 03:42.850 --> 03:46.180 Now for in loop we won't be using a rep notify. 03:46.210 --> 03:49.000 For now, we'll just make it a replicated variable. 03:49.180 --> 03:53.260 No need to do anything in response to the replication. 03:53.440 --> 03:58.930 And if it's going to be replicated, we need to add it to get lifetime replicated props. 03:59.020 --> 04:00.640 So we'll add that here. 04:02.650 --> 04:05.260 And it's be in shock loop. 04:05.530 --> 04:09.040 So now that we have this, we should use. 04:09.680 --> 04:14.630 Our combat interface to add a getter and setter for it and implement that. 04:15.280 --> 04:19.150 So in the interaction folder here's combat interface. 04:19.330 --> 04:21.790 Let's add two new functions. 04:21.790 --> 04:25.600 And these can be blueprint native event blueprint callable. 04:25.750 --> 04:32.110 So first I'll have a getter bool is in shock loop. 04:33.160 --> 04:34.600 It'll be const. 04:36.900 --> 04:46.830 Blueprint native event blueprint callable and we'll have a void set in shock loop which will take a 04:46.830 --> 04:48.960 bool called be in shock. 04:49.050 --> 04:55.080 That one we can call in shock and Blueprint native event blueprint callable. 04:55.080 --> 04:57.510 And we'll go ahead and implement these. 04:57.960 --> 04:59.490 And you know what. 04:59.490 --> 05:02.640 We already have a set in shock loop don't we. 05:02.910 --> 05:04.760 We have it right here don't we. 05:04.770 --> 05:10.140 And we made that for the shock loop for aura right. 05:10.320 --> 05:15.450 So we have a source of confusion potentially because aura is in the shock loop. 05:15.450 --> 05:22.110 When casting the spell, the enemies can be in the shock loop when receiving the shock. 05:22.260 --> 05:27.960 So to avoid confusion here, I think it's best if we use different terms. 05:28.170 --> 05:35.880 I think we should call our new variable being shocked because in shock loop is ambiguous. 05:35.910 --> 05:41.100 So I'm going to call this function is being shocked. 05:41.760 --> 05:45.960 And this function set is being shocked. 05:47.820 --> 05:55.380 And we'll go back to aura character base and we'll call the function be is being shocked. 05:56.790 --> 06:00.150 And that way we won't have that ambiguity. 06:00.540 --> 06:03.780 So we'll change that and get lifetime replicated props. 06:03.780 --> 06:05.710 So we have is being shocked. 06:05.730 --> 06:07.440 I think that's more appropriate. 06:08.200 --> 06:12.580 And so our combat interface has is being shocked and set is being shocked. 06:12.610 --> 06:17.920 We can override these the implementation versions in or a character base. 06:18.070 --> 06:20.500 So we'll do that here. 06:21.130 --> 06:25.030 Virtual void is being shocked. 06:25.330 --> 06:30.280 Implementation and virtual Bool is being shocked. 06:30.280 --> 06:33.460 So we have set is being shocked and is being shocked. 06:33.490 --> 06:38.320 The implementation versions of these will generate the function definitions for these. 06:38.320 --> 06:41.650 And set is being shocked is just going to set our boolean. 06:41.650 --> 06:45.880 So be is being shocked equals be in shock. 06:46.330 --> 06:47.410 That's the setter. 06:47.410 --> 06:52.810 And then is being shocked will just return be is being shocked. 06:54.210 --> 07:02.100 And now we have an easy way to get and set that boolean, and we just need to set it when being shocked 07:02.100 --> 07:04.770 and use it in the animation blueprint. 07:04.800 --> 07:11.400 Now, in addition to that, we need to check is being shocked and the attribute set before applying 07:11.400 --> 07:12.550 that hit react. 07:12.570 --> 07:19.110 In other words, before we activate the hit react ability so we can go to ability system and attribute 07:19.110 --> 07:21.720 set and search for hit react. 07:22.840 --> 07:28.230 And right here we're trying to activate abilities by react tag. 07:28.240 --> 07:36.130 What we should do before we do that, though, is we should make sure that that character isn't being 07:36.130 --> 07:40.300 shocked because if they're being shocked, we don't need to do the hit react. 07:40.300 --> 07:40.600 Right. 07:40.600 --> 07:49.810 So we're going to check and we're going to check if props dot target character implements you combat 07:49.810 --> 07:50.800 interface. 07:52.810 --> 07:57.610 And we're going to also check we'll just have an end here. 07:58.720 --> 08:09.730 I combat interface execute is being shocked and we'll have to pass in props dot target character. 08:10.180 --> 08:14.620 So if being shocked we should not hit react. 08:14.890 --> 08:20.830 So really this should be not is being shocked if not being shocked. 08:21.350 --> 08:24.860 Then we'll have the hit react ability activated. 08:25.540 --> 08:29.290 So with that, we can go ahead and compile and launch. 08:30.610 --> 08:38.140 Okay, so we're back in the editor, and we need to take care of actually being in the pose associated 08:38.140 --> 08:45.280 with the shock loop, which means in blueprints character, we can open up enemy and we can add another 08:45.280 --> 08:46.390 state here. 08:46.390 --> 08:48.820 So we're going to add a new state. 08:48.850 --> 08:53.740 We'll drag off add state and we'll call this being shocked. 08:55.690 --> 09:01.030 And we'll have transitions to and from an end being shocked. 09:01.060 --> 09:02.890 We'll just add a sequence player. 09:05.980 --> 09:11.920 Now we need transition rules, which means we need a boolean so we can go back to the event graph. 09:12.750 --> 09:22.890 And we can get is shocked now as enemy we can simply use is shocked and get is being shocked here and 09:22.890 --> 09:24.960 we can promote that to a variable. 09:25.700 --> 09:27.350 And we can call this. 09:28.390 --> 09:32.770 Being shocked is being shocked is fine. 09:32.770 --> 09:42.280 We can set that and in main states we can use is being shocked to transition into being shocked and 09:42.310 --> 09:48.060 is being shocked with a not boolean to transition out of it. 09:49.150 --> 09:58.360 Now we just need to set those animations for each animation blueprint so we can go to daemon app daemon. 09:58.780 --> 10:04.450 We can open up asset override and find being shocked. 10:04.630 --> 10:06.790 We can search for shock. 10:08.490 --> 10:11.580 And here's a demon shock loop if you want to see it. 10:11.770 --> 10:13.500 Here's what it looks like. 10:13.530 --> 10:21.870 Now you could speed it up, if you like, by setting the rate scale to 1.25, maybe even 1.5 if you 10:21.870 --> 10:22.440 like. 10:22.650 --> 10:24.840 The demon one is a little bit slower. 10:25.320 --> 10:26.850 So there's the demon. 10:29.280 --> 10:30.690 We can go back. 10:33.220 --> 10:35.290 And open up Google. 10:36.010 --> 10:37.810 Go to asset override. 10:38.780 --> 10:40.400 For as being shocked. 10:40.430 --> 10:42.850 We can use Shock Loop for the ghoul. 10:42.860 --> 10:44.930 And here's what that looks like. 10:45.640 --> 10:48.220 So being shocked looks shocking. 10:48.490 --> 10:50.290 So we have that. 10:51.760 --> 10:54.250 We can go to our next enemy. 10:55.340 --> 10:56.690 Goblin slingshot. 10:58.590 --> 11:04.410 Go to asset override and for being shocked we can use shock loop. 11:04.410 --> 11:06.650 There's hit react shock loop spear. 11:06.660 --> 11:09.420 It should be the same as shock loop, so that's fine. 11:11.700 --> 11:14.400 And we can get the goblin spear. 11:15.810 --> 11:20.880 Go to its asset override and search for shock here. 11:22.190 --> 11:23.720 And use shock loop here. 11:26.610 --> 11:27.230 Okay. 11:27.240 --> 11:29.430 Next is our shaman. 11:30.400 --> 11:32.350 And for the shaman. 11:34.240 --> 11:40.870 We can search for shock and use Shaman Shock loop, and you can look at those if you want to see them. 11:40.870 --> 11:45.220 But we'll go ahead and just test those out, starting with Goblin Sphere. 11:45.220 --> 11:51.160 So after saving all and we do have to actually set that boolean when shocking. 11:51.160 --> 11:52.420 So we'll do that. 11:52.420 --> 11:59.380 But also keep in mind if you press play and your enemies are frozen, you just need to go in and compile 11:59.380 --> 12:02.620 those animation blueprints for all of them. 12:02.620 --> 12:07.960 So if I go to Goblin Spear and compile it, you'll see that it works again. 12:07.960 --> 12:12.070 So just make sure to go in there and compile these all. 12:12.700 --> 12:14.740 Before trying to use them. 12:17.600 --> 12:18.890 And you should be fine. 12:19.370 --> 12:23.410 Okay, so before we can test this out, we have to actually set that boolean. 12:23.420 --> 12:26.340 And we're going to do that from our electrocute ability. 12:26.360 --> 12:29.450 So let's go to abilities lightning electrocute. 12:29.540 --> 12:32.630 And when should we set that boolean. 12:32.810 --> 12:36.440 Well it should coincide with the electric beam. 12:36.440 --> 12:44.270 So if we go to spawn electric beam and look for where we're adding a gameplay cue on actor, we want 12:44.270 --> 12:50.360 to also set that boolean, but only if the first target implements interface. 12:50.360 --> 12:53.600 If that's the case, that's when we want to do it. 12:54.710 --> 13:02.270 So if the first target implements the interface, then we want to set that boolean on the mouse hit 13:02.270 --> 13:04.910 actor which will be the target. 13:04.910 --> 13:07.780 And then we want to set it on our additional targets. 13:07.790 --> 13:12.920 So before anything else we'll take the mouse hit actor or target. 13:12.920 --> 13:16.430 Because if we're in the true case here, they're the same actor. 13:17.130 --> 13:18.930 So we can take cue target. 13:21.550 --> 13:23.020 Or mouse at actor here. 13:23.020 --> 13:29.710 And what we're going to do is right click and set in shock loop. 13:31.440 --> 13:34.620 And we'll hook that in as the target and set this to true. 13:35.890 --> 13:39.430 And we'll be setting that there. 13:39.670 --> 13:44.590 And then for the additional targets, we can do this in our array. 13:44.620 --> 13:48.460 For each loop we can set in shock loop. 13:50.330 --> 13:52.070 And we can use our. 13:52.900 --> 13:54.160 Array element. 13:54.250 --> 13:57.400 I'll go ahead and just do it first. 13:58.330 --> 14:02.380 In an attempt to avoid crossing too many wires. 14:06.980 --> 14:09.020 So we'll set the array element. 14:10.230 --> 14:12.870 As the target there and set this to true. 14:13.690 --> 14:17.710 Now, when are we going to set it back to false? 14:17.740 --> 14:22.570 We need to do that when we remove the queue and we remove the queue. 14:22.690 --> 14:30.160 If you look in clear timer and end ability we go into prepare to end ability. 14:30.160 --> 14:33.160 And here is actually where we're going to remove that queue. 14:34.780 --> 14:36.730 I just see a couple of wires. 14:36.730 --> 14:37.420 There we go. 14:37.420 --> 14:43.390 So before we remove the queue, we definitely only want to do it if the first target implements the 14:43.390 --> 14:43.900 interface. 14:43.900 --> 14:47.140 If it does, here we're taking our mouse hit actor. 14:47.170 --> 14:48.970 We're removing the gameplay queue. 14:48.970 --> 14:52.840 At this point we can also set in shock loop. 14:53.740 --> 14:56.050 Passing in that mouse head actor here. 15:00.770 --> 15:02.900 Like so, and we'll set it to false. 15:06.060 --> 15:10.440 And then we do this for each actor when we're removing the shock loop. 15:10.440 --> 15:14.870 Q and it doesn't matter if we do it when we check for authority or not. 15:14.880 --> 15:19.020 It's a replicated variable regardless, but we could set it locally. 15:19.380 --> 15:21.450 So we'll go ahead and do that. 15:22.490 --> 15:23.810 We'll make some room. 15:24.760 --> 15:28.060 And we'll say set in shock loop. 15:29.060 --> 15:30.980 Using the array element here. 15:32.290 --> 15:35.050 Like so, and we'll set it back to false. 15:35.440 --> 15:37.930 And with that, we can test. 15:38.490 --> 15:41.790 So let's test out on the goblin first. 15:43.920 --> 15:44.640 Okay. 15:45.360 --> 15:48.270 Didn't work, so we need to make sure. 15:50.310 --> 15:51.530 We go to character. 15:52.050 --> 15:54.750 Enemy to the event graph. 15:56.570 --> 15:56.900 Okay. 15:56.900 --> 15:58.640 We have is being shocked. 15:59.880 --> 16:04.650 I think I might have called the wrong function we actually should be calling. 16:04.650 --> 16:06.380 Set is being shocked, right? 16:06.390 --> 16:09.350 Set is being shocked, of course. 16:09.360 --> 16:12.150 So we need to make sure we do that in every case here. 16:12.880 --> 16:14.390 Got to call the right function. 16:15.670 --> 16:18.340 So here set is being shocked. 16:19.760 --> 16:26.210 This is when we're removing it right and right here instead of set and shock loop we need to set is 16:26.240 --> 16:26.990 being shocked. 16:27.020 --> 16:30.680 We even named these different names and I still got them mixed up. 16:34.010 --> 16:35.650 Passing in the target there. 16:35.660 --> 16:41.210 And I also need to check when we're applying this in spawn electric beam. 16:41.210 --> 16:43.520 Yeah, I set in shock loop didn't I? 16:43.520 --> 16:45.680 This should be is being shocked. 16:45.680 --> 16:48.590 So set is being shocked. 16:50.750 --> 16:54.650 And before I even continue, I'm just going to look in my attribute set. 16:59.740 --> 17:01.060 Yes is being shocked. 17:01.060 --> 17:03.310 I did check the right function there. 17:03.640 --> 17:06.370 So here we're going to check in shock. 17:07.620 --> 17:12.210 Conicet is being shocked with the target not in shock loop. 17:12.210 --> 17:13.680 That's the wrong one. 17:14.400 --> 17:17.190 And then we can do this for. 17:19.200 --> 17:22.500 All the additional targets set is being shocked. 17:25.390 --> 17:27.550 Easy to get them confused. 17:28.450 --> 17:31.270 And we need to check in shock for this. 17:32.580 --> 17:34.830 Okay, now we can test this out. 17:38.060 --> 17:38.750 There we go. 17:38.750 --> 17:40.010 Now we see the shock loop. 17:40.010 --> 17:46.070 And it's not spamming that hit react sound, which just sounds awful. 17:46.400 --> 17:51.920 Now things look good and we can test all of the enemies include the Demon Ranger. 17:52.920 --> 17:54.420 The demon warrior. 17:55.710 --> 17:59.820 I'd like to make these all face forward so we can see them better. 18:01.370 --> 18:02.510 The goal. 18:06.920 --> 18:10.760 And the Goblin slingshot. 18:10.790 --> 18:12.140 We don't have that out. 18:14.190 --> 18:15.480 And the shaman. 18:21.860 --> 18:23.630 We'll bring that out as well. 18:26.440 --> 18:27.670 With that. 18:28.390 --> 18:29.680 Let's test these. 18:29.680 --> 18:33.820 We can also see how they look in the stun loop as well. 18:34.270 --> 18:37.450 So we can test out shocking all these. 18:37.630 --> 18:41.470 So first we'll try the slingshot goblin. 18:42.650 --> 18:44.480 Looks good and sounds good. 18:44.480 --> 18:45.920 Let's try the ghoul. 18:48.250 --> 18:49.180 Awesome. 18:49.210 --> 18:50.980 Let's try the shaman. 18:53.710 --> 18:54.340 Shaman. 18:54.340 --> 18:55.180 Looks good. 18:55.210 --> 18:55.810 Spear. 18:55.840 --> 18:56.620 Goblin. 18:57.940 --> 18:58.720 Excellent. 18:58.720 --> 19:00.610 And our demons. 19:01.900 --> 19:03.190 There's that one. 19:04.560 --> 19:05.940 And there's that one. 19:06.300 --> 19:08.490 Let's try on the client as well. 19:09.920 --> 19:11.570 So we're on the client. 19:13.410 --> 19:14.490 Looks great. 19:15.690 --> 19:19.500 Looks great and we'll see what it looks like on both. 19:29.240 --> 19:30.110 Excellent. 19:30.140 --> 19:30.830 Okay. 19:31.100 --> 19:35.450 So we now have shock loop animations and those are looking good. 19:36.980 --> 19:38.060 Excellent. 19:39.250 --> 19:41.970 So we have two different kinds of debuffs. 19:41.980 --> 19:43.180 We have burn. 19:45.820 --> 19:47.140 And we have stun. 19:53.540 --> 19:57.380 And enemies can be burned and stunned at the same time as well. 20:14.900 --> 20:16.580 So things are looking great. 20:16.610 --> 20:17.700 Awesome job. 20:17.720 --> 20:19.550 I'll see you in the next video.
