PUBG type game

Creating a PUBG-style game in Unreal Engine using Blueprints is a massive undertaking, but I can guide you through the major steps. Since you want an advanced-level approach, I’ll cover key gameplay mechanics and suggest Blueprint logic for each.

---

1. Setting Up the Project

Tools Needed

• Unreal Engine 5 (Recommended)
• Visual Studio (Optional for C++ Enhancements)
• Blender/Maya (For Custom 3D Models)
• Adobe Photoshop/GIMP (For UI/Textures)

Project Creation

1. Open Unreal Engine, create a new project using the Third-Person or First-Person Template.
2. Enable Multiplayer Features: Go to Edit → Project Settings → Maps & Modes, set Number of Players and enable Networking.

2. Implementing the Core Mechanics

A. Character Setup

• Use UE5’s Mannequin or import custom character models.
• Configure movement (WASD, Sprint, Jump, Crouch, Prone) using Character Movement Component.
• Add a Camera with First-Person and Third-Person switching.

Blueprint Logic:

1. Event Tick → Check Input Key (Crouch, Prone, Sprint) → Adjust Movement Mode
2. If sprinting → Increase Speed Variable
3. If crouching/prone → Adjust Capsule Collision & Camera Position

B. Inventory & Weapon System

• Create Weapon Blueprints (BP_Weapon_Base, BP_Rifle, BP_Sniper, BP_Pistol).
• Add Pick-up and Equip system.
• Use Data Tables to store weapon stats (Damage, Fire Rate, Recoil).

Blueprint Logic:

1. Overlap Event → Attach Weapon Mesh to Player’s Hands
2. Left Click → Fire Bullet (Spawn Projectile & Apply Damage)
3. Right Click → Aim Down Sights (Modify Camera FOV & UI)
4. Reload System → Track Ammo & Magazine Count

---

C. Battle Royale Features

• Safe Zone (Shrinking Circle)
  • Use a Timeline to interpolate the Circle’s radius over time.
  • Players outside the zone take continuous damage.

Blueprint Logic:

1. On Timer Event → Reduce Circle Size → Move Safe Zone Location
2. If Player Outside Zone → Apply Damage per Second

---

D. Multiplayer Networking

• Enable Online Subsystem for Steam or EOS (Epic Online Services).
• Use Dedicated Server for Large-Scale Battle Royale.
• Replicate all player actions like shooting, movement, health.

Blueprint Logic:

1. All Player Actions (Shoot, Move, Damage) → Set as “Replicated” in Blueprints
2. Use “RPC” (Remote Procedure Calls) for Server-Client Communication

---

3. Advanced Features

A. Vehicles (Cars, Bikes, Boats)

• Add a WheeledVehicle Blueprint for driveable cars.
• Setup Vehicle Physics for realistic handling.

B. AI Enemies (Bots)

• Use Behavior Trees to create AI that loots, shoots, and avoids zones.

C. UI & HUD

• Implement Minimap, Kill Feed, HP & Armor UI.
• Show Weapon Inventory with Drag-Drop System.

---

4. Packaging & Optimization

• Optimize Assets: Reduce Polygon Count, Use LODs, Occlusion Culling.
• Use Level Streaming for large open-world maps.
• Compile the game for PC, Mobile, or Console.

5. Full Blueprint Code?

A full game of this scale cannot be fully written in one response, but I can provide specific Blueprints for each feature. Let me know which part you need the detailed Blueprint logic for, and I’ll break it down step by step.
