The Easy Combat Softlock System, allows to search, rotate and move to a target with 5 different search types.

 

In contrast to the well-known hardlock system, the Easy Combat Softlock System only locks the target for a short moment and turns / moves the actor to the target.

 

This allowes a dynamic combat against multiple opponents without being tied to a single target, but still allows precise combat. Of course, it also works for single targets.

 

 

The system can be used via blueprints and also via animation notify. This allows you to search for your target in every animation for total control.

 

The system has been created for easy handling and needs only 2 minutes to set up.

Despite the simple handling, many settings are possible to adapt your combat system to all circumstances.

 

The double layer search system allows two search types to be actively used at the same time.

There are 5 search types:

 

  1. Area
  2. Actor look direction
  3. Camera look direction
  4. Input direction
  5. Last target

 

More details are in the documentation.

 

Features:

 

  • (NEW) New Target Type “Custom Target”
  • (NEW) Let your camera rotate to the target as well
  • (NEW) Predict your possible target and mark it with an widget or anything else
  • (NEW) Hardlock System that works hand in hand with all softlock settings and adds new settings to be flexible and easy to work with
  • (NEW) Every variable needed variable has a tooltip for a perfect understanding
  • 100% Blueprint
  • Easy setup and use
  •  Search for targets with 5 different search types
  •  Rotate the actor to the focused target
  •  (Optional): Moves the actor to the focused target
  • Double layer search system allows to use a secound search type, if the first one fails
  • Usable via blueprints and via animation notify
  • Default settings can be overrided at runtime via blueprint and via animation notify

 

 

Changelog

 

*** Update 4 (09.2024) ***

 

[Added] New Target Type: Custom Target

 

  • Allows to lock a softlock target, so that is fixed until you change it.
  • That also works well for AI, so that a target from the behavior tree or the focus target from the AI Controller can be used for the AI to softlock only to these targets and not calculate others that maybe a better target for that moment.
  • This target can be setted directly via a function or you can also use the softlock Interface to set the target to the system. The function is created in the interface already.

 

 

[Updated] Performance

 

  • Rewrote tick usage. Now tick is always off and only is active if hardlock mode is active. This is nessesary to prevent a good hardlock experience. All other functions are moved to other locations to make more performant.
  • Convert heavy functions with multible output pins from pure to normal functions, because pure functions triggers for each used output pin again. So we prevent that.
