ShootLikeMe is a project that I have been working on since 2020 and my goal was to create a third person shooter template project in unreal engine that is capable enough to create any kind of a third person shooter game you need. In this project, there are 13 different fully functioning weapons with all the sounds, muzzle flashes and damaging and can be used by both player and NPC AI characters.Weapons:- AK47- M16- MP5- Machine Gun- Uzi- M1870 bolt action rifle- Shotgun- Sniper- Pistol- Revolver- Crossbow- Flamethrower- Rocket LauncherApart from main weapons, there are 3 different grenade types- Grenades- Flashbangs/ Stun grenades- Smoke grenades- Regular grenadesAnd there are advanced AI behaviors implemented into NPC enemy character with support for multiple factions. That means, we can simulate a war between 2 or more factions with AI fighting both AI and player. There can be Ally and Enemy NPCs.Also there are searchlight systems, helicopters, traps, explosive barrels, alarms and many more features that you would need to create a complete game.You can watch and learn how each and every system is implemented from scratch following the free tutorial series I have published in my channel.
