I have added one final small change to my game area which is making two of the buildings I had taller by x2.

I ended up having to make changes to the main UI by making the images of the controls smaller, I had to do this because whenever my game was built the images would end up blurry, so I had them be smaller so that the player doesn't notice the blurry images and still made them readable at least.

I added a fourth weapon which is a rocket launcher but instead of shooting one rocket it shoots multiple rockets which also scatter in random directions. The mesh for it looks the exact same as well as the rocket ammunition. I copied the original rocket blueprint and placed nodes in there to make the rockets move randomly.

This is a menu that is designed to appear when the player presses escape, which is also what used to be the game over screen

This has 3 buttons and this allows the player to either resume the game, restart the game, or quit.

The main UI is designed to show the player what to do, it also shows what gun they are holding

I have made all the UI for my game that I need. I changed the game over UI to a menu that appears when the player presses escape.

This is what appears when the player opens the game, the start button starts the game while the quit button closes the game.

Since my game is mainly technical, I have decided to make the area that the player is in more simple.

I replaced the default sound for the pistol with an actual pistol shooting sound and the other weapons also got their own sounds. I got theses sounds from this

Within the GunStructArray I replaced each weapon with their own sounds and because of the coding that was done it gave the weapons the sound.

This is a video of the new sounds in-game

This is the coding for the rocket which allows it to launch forward and destroy the structure with an explosion sound and effect.

This is the explosion effect which I have used in my game, it appears when the rocket hits a destructible.

I have made two different ammunition designs for my weapons in my game. I have made a standard bullet and a rocket.

This is how the bullet is designed, in game it looks better as it looks like a speeding bullet. I also gave it some coding so that it destroys the buildings after it collides with them. The rocket also has a box on it that doesn't show in game as the box helps it face the right way. First I created an actor called Explosion Field and put the master field in as a child actor.

This is the coding in the blueprint that makes it disappear instantly so that it only destroys the structure once.

I have made 3 different weapons to use in my weapon switching system inside of my game. A pistol, a rocket launcher, and a shotgun. These are the weapons viewed in the Rendering section.

This is the shotgun I made along with the reference image I used for it.

This is the rocket launcher I made along with the reference image I used for it. I decided not to have the rocket be connected to it and instead I want it to be inside of the launcher itself.

Finish my weapon switching system

Design the area for the game to take place in

Make any 3D weapon designs I need

I managed to have the issue of the gun not shooting fixed

Had a weapon switching system where I can have the weapons actually be unique made

I had assistance with the shooting problem and now each gun also has different types of bullets that shoot from them. I first had a variable made which was a gun struct and named it gun structure array and made it into an array. That allows me to add different weapons. Within those indexes I can change things which show up here

I am using a simple voxel pistol I made in MagicaVoxel as a test. I then made those connect to nodes with a function called GetEquippedGun which gets the varaible, this is inside each function.

I ended up asking for assistance with the shooting mechanics. And I ended up having to have my character's animations back and the animation for the character was made to always hold a gun by making the character always have the animation of holding the rifle so that situation ended up being solved.

The original weapon switching system turned out to not work as I wanted so a new one ended up being made.

The different numbers mean how much the numbers go up while tbe player is scrolling up or down on the scroll wheel. The functions have these nodes in them
