Flying Android

In this project, my goal was to make a flying character. After finding the necessary resources (John Galt on YouTube), I decided to add more abilities and mechanics to both combat and movement, with the inclusion of a UI.  I borrowed available animations from some Paragon characters, and mixed and matched them to create a custom animation graph.

Movement:

• Running (Default)
• Jumping (Default)
• Take-off
• Flying
• Recoup during fall, to fly again
• Nosedive at high speeds.

Combat:

• The character can throw an exploding bomb.
• The bomb has projectile mechanics.

Mechanics:

• The character cannot throw bombs during take-off, recoup, or nosedive.
• The character has energy, which drains during flight.
• The energy regenerates at 1/3 of the drain rate, when out of flight.

Animations: 

• The animations are borrowed from the Paragons' characters "The Fey" and "Phase."
• The Paragons animations are present for:
  • Take-off
  • Recoup
  • Nosedive
  • Throwing, while walking
  • Throwing, while in-flight
• The rest of the animations are taken from starter content.

Model:

• The character is using the standard UE5 female model.
• The character is carrying a fake bomb, that disappears when the projectile spawns, reappears upon animation completion.

UI:

• Crosshair.
• Progress bar for flight energy.

This project is a work-in-progress, and I am looking forward to adding more functionality to the character.  

If you decide to download the project, the controls are:

• Flight - Hold Right Mouse Button
• Nosedive - Left CTRL
• Fire a bomb - Left Mouse Button
