For one gameplay type, the recommended development flow to create following blueprints to make up the completed game flow.

  • GameMode: Create the game mode blueprint to control the gameplay detail, such as player number, team number.

  • GameState: Create the game state blueprint to manage the game state data throughout the game(use BP_GameState_USG as parent blueprint).

  • PlayerController: Create the player controller blueprint based on BP_Controller_USG to control pawn or permanent pawn data (as the pawn can be killed or respawned), such items management, input mapping, respawn flow.

  • PlayerPawn: Create the player pawn blueprint based on BP_Character_USG to manage all behaviours, such as camera, weapon system, customization, animation.

  • PlayerState: Create the player state blueprint to record the player state data throughout the game. Also, use playerstate to get teammate’s data.

  • HUD Class: Create the hud blueprint based on BP_HUD_USG to control the UIs lifecycle for this single mode. Different modes have different UIs.
