Unreal Engine 5.1 - Top Down Shooter Joystick Controls

Here is a step-by-step guide to create top-down shooter controls using Unreal Engine Blueprints:

Create a new project: Launch Unreal Engine and create a new project using the Top-Down template.

Set up the player character: Add a player character to your project by selecting the Character option in the Add New dropdown menu in the Content Browser. Customize the character's appearance, animations, and any other properties you want.

Set up the camera: Set up the camera to provide a top-down view of the game world. To do this, add a new camera actor to the scene and adjust its position and rotation to provide the desired view.

Create input bindings: Create input bindings for the player's movement and actions. To do this, go to the Project Settings and select Input. Here you can create new action mappings and axis mappings for the desired inputs.

Set up player movement: Set up the player's movement by adding a Movement Component to the player character. This will allow the player to move around the game world in response to input.

Set up player actions: Set up the player's actions by adding logic to respond to input. For example, when the player presses the left mouse button, the player character should fire a weapon or perform an attack. You can use Blueprints to add this logic and connect it to the input bindings you created earlier.

Implement enemy AI: To create enemies that can be defeated by the player character, you will need to add AI logic to the enemy characters. You can use Blueprints to add this logic and connect it to the player character's actions.

Test and iterate: Test the game and iterate on the design as necessary. This may involve adjusting the camera position or player movement, tweaking the enemy AI, or adjusting other game mechanics to improve the player experience.

These are the basic steps to create top-down shooter controls in Unreal Engine Blueprints. With these controls in place, you can continue to build out the game mechanics, add new weapons and enemies, and create more complex gameplay scenarios. If you learn something new, please like and subscribe.
