My goal?

After creating the archery system for Aron’s Adventure I received a lot of questions from people that wanted a system like that for the marketplace. My goal with this pack was to deliver an easy to use bow master Blueprint. I want people to make a child actor and then just change settings until they reach the settings they are happy with. I hope this gets to deliver. This system is 100% made in Blueprints and is easy to read and expand upon.

Settings:

Instant fire or draw?
Always aim, Toggle aim or hold to aim?
Quiver, no quiver, or quiver but ignore the animations?
What UI?
Controller aim assist?
Slow motion for aiming or slow motion for drawing?
What camera effects should happen at different stages?
Max range, damage, etc.

These are some of the questions you can answer by changing some bools and floats around. You can get vastly different results with just a few clicks of your mouse.

For the best overview of what’s included in the pack I strongly recommend to check out the links above.

Important/Additional Notes: This pack would not have been possible without EPIC games releasing the paragon assets for free! The sparrow animations make up a majority of the animations used in this pack and I’m really grateful that these were released!
