Unreal Engine C++ Survival Sample Game
Reading Time: 6 minutesThe project source contains a variety of survival game features and coding concepts in Unreal Engine C++ using practical examples including AI and multiplayer support. There is no step-by-step guide for the project. Instead, the documentation walks you through the available source code.
Game Premise
This project originally started as a bi-weekly series for Epic Games. Now it serves as a hub for C++ how-to’s or even as your starting project for your (survival) shooter.
“The game is a third-person survival game focusing on familiar mechanics from games in this genre.
You’ll have to find a weapon to defend yourself. Food and ammunition are spread throughout the level and so you are constantly on the search for resources. Enemies may be anywhere, making too much noise while scavenging to survive will attract attention. The environment will have interactive objects to help your defense. The game will support coop play with a buddy. Survive as many days/nights as possible.
Project Features
Weapons & Equipment
Players spawn with an assault rifle and a flashlight. These weapons can be carried on the character’s back (rifle) and pelvis (flashlight) using Sockets. One of the more advanced features included is the custom AnimNotify that calls for the exact moment during the animation we must switch the mesh from being in the character’s hands to his back or pelvis. Any time you specify an AnimNotify in your animations you can implement this event in the EventGraph of the AnimationBlueprint for that character.
Advanced Animation Blueprint
The project includes an advanced animation blueprint setup for the player character. It includes sprinting, crouching, aiming down sights, weapon fire recoil, etc. along with a special “Idle Break” animation that is played whenever a player is idle for a small period of time. On top of that AnimMontages are used to blend weapon reloading and equipping.
The animations are from the Animation Starter Pack, freely available on the Unreal Engine marketplace.
Zombie AI
Enemy AI wanders around the area during the night and moves towards noises made by the player. The AI is able to sense gunshots and footsteps and will attack the player on sight in a furious sprint.
The zombie has audio responses for many of the events including when sensing a player, idling, wandering, chasing, getting hit, dying, attacking, etc. These audio files were kindly provided by @YorickCoster and can be used in your own projects too!
Object Interaction
Some of the objects in the world can be interacted with (Hotkey “E”) These include the assault rifle, flashlight, cupcake, and bomb.
Consuming food restores hitpoints and energy while interacting with the bomb sets the fuze. Weapons can be added to the inventory.
Moving Objects
Using the middle-mouse button, any physically simulated object can be picked up and moved around. Examples include the red barrier and the bomb actor. you can rotate the carried objects using the scroll-wheel and the 1 & 2 numeric keys. Left-clicking while carrying an object will throw it in the view direction. This is a neat trick to throw fuzed bombs are your enemy, or to throw food/equipment to your co-op buddy.
Co-op Multiplayer
The gamemode features an accelerated day/night cycle, during the day players can collect items, equipment and setup defenses for the night to come. For the duration of the night, zombies appear, any existing zombies become active and start moving around the map. Keep an eye out for your energy levels as low energy will hurt your health. If a player dies during the night, he will respawn at sunset as long as there is at least one other player still alive.
Players score points as they survive the night and by killing zombies. The game continues for as long as there is at least one player alive.
Get Started with C++
It might not be recommended to immediately dive into this sample game if you have no prior C++ experience. However, the project is a great way to browse and analyze how C++ games are made. There are six sections linked below with some basic documentation to navigate you through the code.
If you are looking for a more step-by-step guide to learning C++ and Unreal Engine then I recommend checking out my full Unreal Engine C++ Pro Course. The course takes you from the basics of setting up your third-person character all the way to building an ability system, creating AI opponents, performance profiling, multiplayer support, and a ton more!
If you are completely new to Unreal Engine I recommend you first get yourself comfortable with the editor. Have a look at the official Getting Started page to get you up to speed. Use this collection of Unreal Engine Tutorials for a variety of tutorials and places to learn. I written have a collection of C++ Tutorials myself over the years that you can access freely.
And finally, to understand the core classes we use such as Actors, PlayerControllers, and Pawns. I recommend reading up on them in my Gameplay Framework guide.
Download the latest project source at GitHub!
Below you can find documentation for each of the sections created at the time of release.
Project Documentation
The project was developed in distinct sections along with some guiding documentation.
Section 1 – Character Setup
Third-person character movement with animation, object interaction, simple hunger system, all with multiplayer support. (view docs)
Section 2 – Weapons, Death & Inventory
Weapon support for the character, a flashlight, UT-style inventory with an on-character visual representation of the carried items. Deals with damage, death, and respawns for players. (view docs)
Section 3 – Zombie AI
AI “Zombie” enemy using PawnSensing and Behavior Tree. (view docs)
Section 4 – Time of Day
Dynamic time of day, advanced player spawning, and a basic game loop. (view docs wiki mirror)
Section 5 – Networking
Introduces the ability to carry around objects like barriers and introduces you to Unreal Engine multiplayer programming called ‘Replication’. (view docs wiki mirror)
Taking this project beyond
This series was built primarily as a C++ learning resource. I hope you’ve learned a lot from the previous sections in this series and put that knowledge to use for your own project! If you wish to use this project as a base for your own game, you can!
SpatialOS (Large Scale Multiplayer)
In collaboration with Improbable, I was able to add support for SpatialOS, their large-scale multiplayer solution. The project has a special branch on GitHub named SpatialOS-main with these changes included. Along with the code changes I published 3 additional tutorial videos guiding you through these steps and explaining how you can add SpatialOS to your Unreal Engine project yourself.
Getting Started with SpatialOS
I will be walking you through the steps to get your own project up and running with SpatialOS! After converting the project in this first part we will continue by adding some interesting features for large-scale multiplayer and check out SpatialOS’ online debugging tools.
In case you’re unfamiliar, SpatialOS is a game hosting platform that allows developers to scale multiplayer games beyond normal limits.
To kick things off we start by installing SpatialOS’ Unreal GDK and run a ‘local deployment‘ using the sample project provided by Improbable.

Upgrading Project to SpatialOS
In part two of this tutorial series for SpatialOS and Unreal Engine, we convert the project to run on SpatialOS servers and run our first ‘cloud deployment’ with two players.

Hi is it still possible to access the video tutorials I would like to follow along to learn each step?
Hi, the original Survival Game never had video tutorials for it. It only contained Wiki style walkthroughs.
hey can you tell me how to make more weapons like which code is weapon master
Hi there, I am not new to the engine or to C++ projects, but I am having an issue. I am unable to open the project in any way. Not from the project launcher or from VS2019. It won’t let me rebuild in code. It says I need the .net sdk, but it is definitely installed. Any ideas what it may be?
nEVERMIND… i FOUND THIS: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/cant-package-my-project-netfxsdk/134855/3
I’m trying to figure out how to use C++ to trigger animation. You mentioned this project in the C++ mastery course on udemy. So I went though your code and I thought I had it figured out but when I press the reload button my character disappears so i’m missing something. I was going to look through your documentation to see if I can find it but your view docs links are all pointed to bad links. The ones I’m currently interested in are the Character one and the weapon one.
Thanks for pointing that out, something went wrong with redirects that is now fixed. The first 3 sections at least should now be working again.
Hi, i have a problem with the last version i want to create my own game and i create them but i can’t change the Launcher:
The problem here: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/903375270717816835/903388537406234685/unknown.png
i don’t know how to change it help me pls !
i fix it
Hello, When I Loadading Project Stop At 39% Please Repair That !
That simply means its compiling (engine) shaders and will eventually finish.
Hey Tom, thanks for updating the project to 4.26.
I’ve tried compiling it from inside the engine and it still seems to crash. It usually takes 2 or 3 compiles before this starts happening. I believe Callen was having the same problem so I’m assuming it’s the same for everyone else.
Would appreciate if you confirm, cheers!
Hi Alexander,
It seems the UE4 is throwing crashing when compiling in the engine due to a internal error.
File: UObjecftArchetype.cpp
Error: Unhandled exception thrown: read access violation.
UClass::GetAuthoritativeClass[virtual](…) returned nullptr. On Line 131
Odd thing is, I didn’t have this problem until today… I’m getting this error from the Repo files, and my Project I’ve been working on.
Maybe Tom knows more about this? ;P
Yep it’s a strange one! I’m getting this issue with my own project and have been searching around for an answer. Struggling! Thanks for letting me know anyway Callen, hopefully Tom might have something :D
I’ll upgrade the GitHub Repos to 4.26 soon, then we’ll see what’s going wrong here.
Hi Tom, I found the compile problem after updating the Survival Game project files to 4.26. You have to include “PhysicsCore”, in the SuvivalGame.Build.cs file to use Physical Materials (IE UPhysicalMaterial and EPhysicalSurface) in SImpactEffect now. Otherwise you will get a linker error. Hope this helps! This course along with your Udemy course are the best for learning C++ in Unreal Engine! I hope you make more!
Thanks for letting me know! I’ll update the repo soon so people don’t have to upgrade manually anymore.
Hey Callen, since you managed to upgrade to 4.26, are you coming across an issue where you compile and UE crashes?
I can successfully build the VS project no problem, but hitting compile in UE causes it to crash.
I’ve tested this on another PC and the same issue occurs (so it’s definitely something wrong with the project working with 4.26 and not my setup).
Here’s the error I’m getting when UE crashes:
https://pastebin.com/WbG9Kicx
Are/were you getting this issue? If you know a fix please let me know, thank you!!
Thank you for this great project, I used it for implementing audio with Wwise. It was a very simple project that helped me understand Unreal Engine and C++ scripts a lot better
Hey Tom!
I’ve been looking at developing a massively multiplayer-capable survival game crossplatform for PC and VR. This is my first full game project, but I have over 10 years of experience with programming in various languages for hobby projects (mainly game servers). Currently, I’m in the planning phase and am looking at ways to cut down the levels of work required to get this thing off the ground and running as painlessly as possible, given that I’m working alone. I recognize that you’ve included a MIT license in the github distribution, but I would like to ask personally before I begin:
Are you actually okay with this stuff being used in a project that will be sold?
Naturally, I would be adding much more to it compared to how it is by default, and I would certainly follow the license requirements, but I still wanted to check personally. Using something like this would save a vast amount of time and effort that I could be using on optimization and proper featuresets.
Either way, thank you for this resource and your time,
“JoDa”
That’s absolutely fine. As with all other Epic examples you can use it as your jumping off point for making your own commercial game :)
Much thanks for the quick reply, the permission, and all the work you’ve put in on the tutorials and such!
Hi Tom, I just tried to update Survival Project to 4.23, I got most of the errors taken care of and I’m done to just a couple now that I cannot figure out. They are in the Game mode around Line 250.
bool ARGameMode::IsSpawnpointPreferred(APlayerStart* SpawnPoint, AController* Controller)
{
if (SpawnPoint)
{
/* Iterate all pawns to check for collision overlaps with the spawn point */
const FVector SpawnLocation = SpawnPoint->GetActorLocation();
for (FConstPawnIterator It = GetWorld()->GetPawnIterator(); It; It++)
{
ACharacter* OtherPawn = Cast(*It);
if (OtherPawn)
{
const float CombinedHeight = (SpawnPoint->GetCapsuleComponent()->GetScaledCapsuleHalfHeight() + OtherPawn->GetCapsuleComponent()->GetScaledCapsuleHalfHeight()) * 2.0f;
const float CombinedWidth = SpawnPoint->GetCapsuleComponent()->GetScaledCapsuleRadius() + OtherPawn->GetCapsuleComponent()->GetScaledCapsuleRadius();
const FVector OtherLocation = OtherPawn->GetActorLocation();
// Check if player overlaps the playerstart
if (FMath::Abs(SpawnLocation.Z – OtherLocation.Z) < CombinedHeight && (SpawnLocation – OtherLocation).Size2D() < CombinedWidth)
{
return false;
}
}
}
/* Check if spawnpoint is exclusive to players */
ARPlayerStart* MyPlayerStart = Cast(SpawnPoint);
if (MyPlayerStart)
{
return MyPlayerStart->GetIsPlayerOnly() && !Controller->PlayerState->bIsABot;
}
}
return false;
}
it is the 2 const float CombinedHeight and const float CombinedWidth. SpawnPoint and OtherPawn are giving errors of pointer to incomplete class type.
Thank you for the Tutorial and the project both here and on Udemy.
Can I Use Code block for C++ instead of VS
Hello, this project can be optimized for Android devices?
Hello, I am trying to remove the death sequences from the player. I can’t find where some of the functions are being called. UnFreeze(), StartSpectating(), I need to remove these functions but cant seem to figure out where they are even being called from.
I know they are in the player controller but I need to just get rid of all of that, so I can handle the death on my own terms but even when I do the spectating messes with it.
It’s been a while since I looked at that code, I suppose our GameMode classes we use are calling those functions so that’s where to look.
Hello, I download the file from Git and am trying to open it using Unreal Engine. I keep getting an error note saying SurvivalGame could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually. Is there any way to fix this? It says that the file is built using versions 4.20, 4.21, and 4.22 but I only have versions 4.20.3, 4.21.2, and 4.22.3
Thank you
You need to build the project yourself, using Visual Studio. After that you can open it with Unreal Engine.
How to do that?
Hello Tom im trying to figure out how to make the movable objects in this project actually collide with stuff when i pick them up but i cant seem to figure it out
You might want to try using physics rather than hard-attachment. eg. a physics constraint (component) might help as the object will then physically be moved around and can still collide with the environment.
Looks amazing! I will definitely try to make something for my friends haha
hi Tom, why i open MainMenu_Entry the mouse seems not show
This is a bug, I’ve added it to my list of stuff to fix. Thanks for pointing it out.
Hi tom is it okay if I could use your blueprint as a template to build my game?
Absolutely, that’s one of the reasons why it’s made available (besides learning by example) Cheers!
Hey Tom,
just recently I tried to recreate your Survival Game again with engine version 4.21.2. I somehow can’t figure out why your project always compiles while mine doesn’t whenever I want to add a USpringArmComponent to my Character.h. A good friend of mine (a programmer) and me where trying to figure out a whole afternoon what’s going on. You never forward declare the class or include any header files that has USpringArmComponent in it, do you?. Or did we miss it somewhere? Same for the CameraComponent. I know they changed the way we should include header files with 4.16 (only include what you use) but yours is still a mystery (“X-Files Theme playing”) :D What’s the magic behind it? :)
I think the magic is in the project being old enough to still use Epic’s monolithic Include system. The old Engine.h can still be used which holds nearly all common includes you might need. I wouldn’t advice you do the same, I suppose its part of the projects legacy now.
Alrighty. Thanks for the fast answer! We had a guess that there was some .h file containing the Engine.h. So many things to learn from that project, truly one of the best MP “Templates” around to learn the MP part of the Engine. I wish there was some Dedicated Server stuff from you :)
Hi,
I’m really struggling to see what the tutorial aspect of this, am I missing something? All I can see is the ‘documentation’ page, in which you gloss over one or two functions per class without really going too in-depth and that sections branch, which contains vastly more code than is ever mentioned in the docs. Sorry if i’m coming off as harsh, but i’m genuinely confused what im missing. Is this the whole tutorial and we’re instead supposed to be learning from copying the code? Please could someone let me know if im missing some crucial part to this?
Fair question Will! Originally this was created as a series where I added complexity over time so it all started off much simpler though even then it was not a step-by-step but more of a sample project with supporting documentation.
Afaik it’s not branded as a “tutorial” and more often then not referred to as a Sample Project instead, that’s what it should be branded as atleast.
how do I remove the ” press tab for help” from game?
lol I found it! just need to ask one more question. when I go to package , it will build the game and everything with it but then it says “Build Failed”, yet im able to still play the game I made?
I can not open the project.
“SurvivalGame could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.”
help me please thank you des de ja
Download UE4.17.2 and unzip the project files from github. Then right click SurvivalGame.uproject and generate project files for 4.17.2, and after thats done open it from the Epic Games Launcher-> Library.
even i’m getting the same error on my mac. i’m using UE4.22.
Hello instructor. Can you build a course make game FPS Survival in above. Instead, many peoples have to read. can you make tutorial ?. Thank you instructor very much.
Hi Tom and everyone else.
I would like to know if it will be possible to add “procedural generator” to the terrain in this sample with C++ or even the BP?
That’s possible ;) I won’t be adding more features to this project though :)
– Tom
I need to learn c++ programming first before suing this engine?
Hi again!
I have long error message.
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

How i can fix this? UE4.8 -> UE4.15
Thanks all! Bye!
The problem is with ASGameMode::InitNewPlayer( the signature of the function changed between 4.8 and 4.15, look at AGameModeBase.h to see what parameters are expected in your current version for InitNewPlayer.
Hi all!
I can’t build to 4.16/4.17… I try automaticly in UE4, and manually in Visual Studio.
I need a UE4Editor-SurvivalGame.dll file for 4.16/4.17.
Thanks Tom! Bye!
How do you get that file though?
When you compile the code in Visual Studio it creates that .dll for you.
Hi great work, any chance this will be updated 4.17 soon? I would love to use it
Hi Tom!
Gotta say, I really appreciate what you have done here. Besides the awesome work on the project itself, you’ve responded to countless comments asking for help… Onya mate! :D
Is there any word on whether this will be updated in the future for newer versions of UE? I’ve been holding off on beginning a project due to the massive increase in UE’s flexibility in recent updates – is there any way for people to use these files in engine versions like 4.16.3 without you having to update them constantly?
Cheers again for your work!
Best regards,
keen
Hi mate!
The wiki/blogs don’t get updated from all these versions, but the github source is updated occasionally by me (although I’ll admit to some lag between releases and me updating the source) the upgrade to 4.16 should be easy, I believe it only spews out warnings on changes to the build.cs files they like you to make eventually. I should actually get on that and upgrade it for both 4.16 and 4.17 :P
Cheers!
Tom
Hello, the files.cpp and file.h that I delete manually are always present in the editor, I want to remove them from my project to facilitate the development because there is only the functionality of the character who m ‘ interress
thank you,
Hello tom!Can I use your survivial project in my project?
Yes you can as he has already mentioned in other similar answers. :)
Can you help me for Aİ ? I want to zombie Ai just follow nearest player and attack but it should be blueprint and work multiplayer.
hi Tom ! im using your sample for my main project and now i have a reply and i have some question .. well i use you zombie for do simple , and i have https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3IH4qGf_ZA this caractere , how can i use the demon animation with the damage effect on the zombie ? can i ‘retarget’ zombie blueprint on the demon? what is the next step for this demon are playable with life and damage based on the zombie exemple of our projet .. i am sorry for my english ahah ^^ i hope you will know whati try to mean , by the way tom , really good works !
i mean i think , i maybe need to build myself damage and health ? in this optic how can i do ?
really sorryto repost again …. but i can’t change the skin of the main character , how can i do it? i have fallow really many tutorial since 2 month and i have always a glitched animation on the new char …. so it’s impossible to change the basic skin…
To change the skin of the character you’ll need to look into Animation Retargeting. There is some official documentation on that, it’s important that both skeletons are compatible with eachother (the character in the project is using the Epic Skeleton, so it will be compatible with other skins that use this skeleton)
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Animation/AnimationRetargeting/
To change the skin of your character you’ll need to use Animation Retargeting. ( https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Animation/AnimationRetargeting/ )
your custom character skin must be compatible with the Epic Skeleton (that’s the skeleton the character in this project is using) It’s also possible to retarget even if they have different skeletons, this does require you to create a “Rig” (all this can be found on the documentation pages)

Can you try to help me to resolve my problem?
Hi mate,
The answer is in the first few lines of your log:
“Cache path C:/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/Users/Maison-/Documents/Unreal Projects/EpicSurvivalGameSeries-master/SurvivalGame/LocalDerivedDataCache is longer than 119 characters…please adjust [DerivedDataBackendGraph] paths to be shorter (this leaves more room for cache keys).”
You need to move your project to a folder on disk that is shorter.
Sixto, are you using 4.15 to run it at the moment ?
I can’t seem to open it using 4.15 right now. Due to it not being cooked or rather, the fact that I’m new to this all and don’t really know how to open it.
Still haven’t upgraded this project :( I’m working on other stuff
Hi Tom, I have a question…will you upgrade this to 4.15 or that’s not in your plans?
I seen you have done this before but I wanted to ask to be sure. If you could be so kind to reply.
Hi Sixto,
I will upgrade, I’ll see when I have some time to upgrade this to 4.15, haven’t touched the new released yet myself :)
Oooh hahahaha, I’m just starting to mess around with it, there’s a lot of cool things I wanna try out in this new upgrade. Thanks for the reply!!!
It might not be the best place to ask this but i really can’t find any answers. Can someone please tell me/teach me how to create a second player (local splitscreen) in C++ and give inputs to it? I can’t find anything that is in c++ and nothing that works in blueprint. I’m trying for a week and I can’t find a solution.
Hi Alex,
ShooterGame example available via the Learn-tab of the Epic Games launcher might have some splitscreen code for you to look into. I never tried it, but I remember seeing some mentions of it in their code.
Fantastic tutorial! When I play the game I see a very noticeable lag when the game time advances. I set the sunlight to not cast shadows, I set the trees to not cast dynamic shadows and rebuilt the lighting but it’s still there. If I remove the day/night manager from the game it goes away. My laptop is intel i7, 8GB RAM, windows 10, Radeon 5600 with 2GB RAM.
I’m afraid that’s due to the Skylight actor being re-captured dynamically as the time of day changes. Not very ideal, I know where are other ways of handling blending of this by texture, esp. now!
I haven’t seen hitches myself after making some changes to how frequently it re-captures, but it’s still a perf hog and if you’re moving forward with this project, it’s better to blend between a few cubemaps in the Skylight rather than trying to dynamically recapture.
One source on blending cubemaps I remember is from Zak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHzt73Tn0L4
Last mentioned error happens on 4.14, can you update? It seems to have a problem with accessing some private members on the engine’s world.h
Hey mate, the repo just got updated to 4.14 on github.
Cheers,
Tom
pls sloved this error

The project wasn’t upgraded to 4.14 yet, I just updated it on Github, so it should now compile just fine out of the box again.
– Tom
thanks for update
Hi Sir ! Have you even thought to make Youtube tutorials for your game ? Because it would be very nice. We can understand the concepts of Unreal Engine C++ more easily and efficiently.
Looking for a positive response.
Hi Tom! How i can use the RPG Inventory system in the project? Please write the minimal instructions! Thank you!
Hi Zoltan,
The RPG inventory system isn’t mine and afaik it’s a paid package (which I don’t own). So you’ll have to resolve that yourself I’m afraid.
– Tom
is it compatible with 4.10?
It’s updated for 4.13, older submissions are 4.10 ready (but it’ll need some digging into the history of GitHub)
not working on 4.12
Because the latest submit of github got upgraded to 4.13, which brought along minor API changes to the engine.
I pulled your 4.13 update and updated my project. Is InitNewPlayer() being called for you? Mine is not.
After looking at GameMode.cpp in the Engine project, i see that the other InitNewPlayer function is being called instead of the one that ASGameMode class is overriding. I swapped the ASGameMode InitNewPlayer() to use the other prototype and everything works now (Couldn’t deal damage to AI because SetTeamNumber() wasn’t getting called). Any explanation as to why switching from 4.12 to 4.13 could cause this to happen?
Thanks for pointing this out Clay, I just updated the public repo with the same fix. Looks like a bad merge in the engine code, the functions are so similar that one of them should in my opinion be removed.
Hi Clay,
I’ll look into this when I can.
– Tom
Shooting a bomb to kill a zombie doesn’t register as a kill for the player. Is this expected? When debugging I see the EventInstigator parameter in the ASBaseCharacter::TakeDamage() function call is null.
After slightly more digging I found the last parameter to ApplyRadialDamage was nullptr. I believe just keeping track of who the last APawn/AController to interact with the bomb was and using that instead of nullptr should fix the problem.
Hi Clay,
Sure! That sounds like a good solution. I must have missed this when wrapping up the project.
– Tom
Hi,
I have a question?
What happens if FocusedUsableActor in SCharacter.cpp is destroyed?
Then this code FocusedUsableActor->OnEndFocus(); will result in editor crash. Maybe it’s not likely in your case but what would be the best way to ensure that FocusedUsableActor is not destroyed when it’s used?
FWeakObjPtr or AActor::OnDestroyed?
Fair point, Hadn’t considered that case. I’d go for a WeakObjPtr and check it’s state before calling functions on it. Good find.
– Tom
I open the .uproject file don’t know it says try building SurvivalGame.dll or some file from source…
That means you are opening the engine with a different version than it was built with. The project was last updated for 4.12

SoundNodeLocalPlayer.h and SoundNodeLocalPlayer.cpp copied from another epic project “ShooterGame”
In SCharacter.cpp add a line #include “Animation/AnimInstance.h”
Done
This has absolutely made a lot of things clear for me on how to do things. For the life of me, I cannot find where the text is set for the “stats” in the top left: ComputerName – Score 0 – Kills 0 – Deaths 0. I want to add another varaible in their for debugging purposes but its not in the UI blueprints and I looked at all the references related to those variables. :(
In the Editor, Content->UI->SurvivalHUD. Open the survival hud blueprint and go to DrawLeaderboards. It is located here.
Hi, c ++ is not used.
Only use Blueprints, is there any way to convert c ++ in Blueprint or the project is only in Blueprint?
Thank you
Hi Diego,
There is no automatic way to convert C++ to Blueprints. You can however have a C++ project framework and continue building features etc. using Blueprint on top of that.

Can i use this sample in my commercial game? I am making TPS Multiplayer Game
Hi,
This sample project can be used to build your own commercial projects yes.
– Tom
Hi Tom! I admire your work in this tutorial. I’ve downloaded the github version of this game and build it smoothly. But I realized this game was very choked up and laggy. Can you give me the advice to fix it?
What kind of system are you running this on?
You can also profile performance by pressing Ctrl+Shift+, or type on profilegpu in the command console while running the game.
I immediately suspect the dynamic updates of the Skylight (handled by the time of day manager blueprint could be killing your performance.
Windows 7 Professional 64bit, i7, 8GB DDR4 RAM, GeForce GT720M with 2GB dedicated memory
I set all the graphic profile down to the lowest, but I still get 12-20fps, it’s getting worse when it’s dark (maybe fog particles is the cause)
Can’t judge your CPU since you didn’t include it, but your GPU is pretty low-end and mobile. How is your performance in other UE samples?
I use Core i7-4712MQ. I got same result in shooter game.
You will need to use the scalability options to lower the resolution and other settings to get a proper framerates on your machine
https://docs.unrealengine.com/latest/INT/Engine/Performance/Scalability/ScalabilityReference/
hi Tom,
your tutorial are awesome, but i’ve got a problem with the function TakeDamage() and DealDamage().
i can’t TakeDamage from other player and InflictDamage to other Player (it’s a Multiplayer game), in my characterClass i override the function TakeDamage and in my WeaponClass i’ve created the weapon trace and DealDamage to inflict damage, i don’t know what is/are the error/s.
Thanks for your time.
The damage application is already implemented in the project. You should have all the functions necessary to deal/take damage – without any specific errors I can’t do much to help.
– Tom
is there a password on the file i just download 1.8 gig and it has password?
There should be no password on the ZIP file downloaded from Github.
Hi Tom .I want to ask that should I go with third person c++ template or with the blank code for this project.
If you really wish to re-create this step by step, then go for a blank code project. That’s what I did back then.
Thnks for reply .I know you are busy :) .I will go with blank code .
Hello Tom.I am facing a problem while running the section 1 uproject.It says SurvivalGame could not be compiled.Try rebuilding from source manually .I have ue 4.9.
Sorry I get it.I need to have section 6+ series :)
Hello, very nice thank you for taking the time to make these,
I know your busy so ill be quick, roughly how difficult would it be to make a mobile (android mainly) version of this?
Thanks
Luke
There will be some rendering limitations, and of course you’d need to fit in your own methods of controlling the character etc. I’ve not tried this, but I welcome you to give it a shot.
Just keep in mind that the project was definitely not designed for mobile, and certain features may very well be way too heavy for mobile at this point.
Is there any chance you will do a tutorial on adding melee combat? Or can you recommend a good one? This is excellent.
Can’t make any promises on that. I might add more melee options if I get the chance to add more features to this project.
– Tom
Thanks Tom. Would you mind to point me in the right direction as to how you would go about implementing this in the context of this example project? Just some general advice would help point me toward the solution and I can work it out on my own from there.
Hey Tom, I tried to open the survival game unreal project file in UE4, but then I got a message that said “The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version: UE4Editor-SurvivalGame.dll” and it asked if I would like to rebuild them, so I started the build and when it was finished I got an error saying “Error recompiling, try recompiling from source manually.”
I am really new to UE4 in terms of opening another users UE4 project, so I just was wondering if I am doing it correctly or if the problem stems from a difference in versions?
I am running UE4 version 4.9.2
You should use 4.7 for section 1-5.
And 4.10 for section 6+
feel like UE4Editor-SurvivalGame.dll for section 1 – 5 cannot been rebuild for 4.10
Section 1 to 5 were build using 4.7, section 6+ has been kept up to date with each stable release of UE4 since.
This is top !!
Do you have an update for 4.1.0 I get errors opening.
Hi Charles,
Just updated the project to 4.10 over at GitHub!
Cheers,
Tom
Can i use this template and turn the camera to the first person camera ??
Yep you can use this template, and with some modification it could work in first person.
Can I use the Assets for my Game?
– Kevin
Yes, all assets used in the project can be used in your own projects.
492 and 490
PlayerPawn is made in BluePrint but when open nothing happen http://s1.postimg.org/5c3jvc0z3/Capture.png
Never seen that happen. What version are you running on. And do other Blueprints open correctly?
Can’t set position of camera on different space… And other BP won’t open…
4.9.2 and 4.8.3
Hi. I have downloaded the full project from github. Now when I try to open it up with UE 4.8.1 , build fails with around 20 errors.
Some of them are :
error C2555: ‘USoundNodeLocalPlayer::GetInputPinName’: overriding virtual function return type differs and is not covariant from ‘USoundNode::GetInputPinName’
error C2039: ‘SpawnSoundAttached’ : is not a member of ‘UGameplayStatics’
What could be the reasons? Am I doing something wrong?
Hi Amol,
The latest source is build for 4.9 it won’t build for 4.8.1 anymore.
– Tom
Hello Tom
Yes it worked with 4.9 and its really great stuff !!
Thanks for your time
I’ve played around a little with the weapon trace & weapon trails. It seems that the weapon trail is not working correctly. It doesn’t go into the direction you’ve shot, but in a fixed direction (I did not manipulate the c++ code, the Vector parameter is still set in code). If you comment the “only create trails fx by other players” part out, you’ll notice it quite quickly.
Cheers
Theo
Yes I noticed this bug too, believe the paramater of the particle FX and the code don’t match up. Adding it to my bug list.
Thanks,
Tom
Create tutorial like his on bp
Hi Tom,
So in some of the levels in this project there’s those Barrier that you can push and jump on but I noticed that they shake when you jump on them and sometimes they just bounce off.
I made a short clip to show what I mean:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJnKnkoEsas
And just to note if I start a new project and put something on the ground and simulate physics the same thing happens.
Here’s a test in another project just to show it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKTPc42OUUU
How do I fix this and make the behavior more real?
I know it’s kind of unrelated but I couldn’t find an answer for it anywhere.
Good question Tom. I think you’ll have to dive into the more advanced side of physics in Unreal. I don’t have a quick solution for you, but the physics devs might be able to help out through AnswerHub https://answers.unrealengine.com/.
– Tom
Hello Tom,
My name is Joaquín and I´m following your C++ SurvivalGame Samples. I will like to question, Is this C++ API’s Project available for UE4 4.8?.
Thank you very much!.
Best regards
I will upgrade the project to 4.8 this week, so stay tuned on Github to see those changes roll in.
Hello, Tom! I’ve learned a lot going through the Wiki for the past few weeks. So before I ask my question, I’d like to thank you for taking the time out to post these tutorials as they’ve been a lot of help.
I noticed the TeamNumber variables have not been used yet, and was curious if there was a currently a procedure to make them workable in game. I’m following along, but have not seen this functionality mentioned.
Hi D,
The teamnumbers in SPlayerState are used by the GameMode, have a look at CanDealDamage() in SGameMode to see how :)
– Tom
Oh, it seems I was mistaken! I thought that teamnumbers was used to separate players into teams, whereas it actually separates the AI zombies from the players. Makes sense now :)
Hello, I have this error
1>D:/Doc/Unreal Projects/AzuraDreams_NG 4.6/Source/AzuraDreams_NG/BaseCharacter.h(61): error : In BaseCharacter: Unrecognized type ‘FTakeHitInfo’
1>Error : Failed to generate code for AzuraDreams_NGEditor – error code: OtherCompilationError (2)
I need Help!! I work with Unreal 4.6.1
You either don’t have the FTakeHitInfo copied over from the survival project or you don’t have the #include to wherever you added your FTakeHitInfo struct.
– Tom
Thanx for the gr8 content i noticed that there is a bug on pirate boomb explode and game crash in the latest update github.
Also if possible can you add more comments on the damge handling system and how it works in details.
In sweapon.h there is a macro PURE_VIRTUAL if you can explain what it do.
I know it still work in progress but i though to let you know.
Keep dropping the good stuff .
big thanx from the hart
Abdullah
Hi Abdullah,
Thanks the bomb crash has been reported, I will fix that today! Thanks for pointing this out to me.
I’ll add some comments to PURE_VIRTUAL to explain how/when to use it. For now: It’s basically to omit the implementation requirement since our SWeapon.cpp has nothing to implement, it’s only when we reach the SWeaponInstant.cpp that we care about this function and need to implement behavior.
– Tom
I just tried the second part, and the flashlike is inside his arm. It looks like you missed the attatchment point or something. Just a small thing. Otherwise, it is awesome.
Oh, one more thing, could you make it so we can open the Visual Studio project? It seems all the profect files are missing from the project folder (Intermediate/ProjectFiles) There is not even a folder. Thanks.
Hi Lance,
The flashlight is a content bug, I need to fix the translation during import.
You’ll need to generate the Visual Studio files by right-clicking the .uproject, I can’t includes those folders because they are supposed to be machine specific. Perhaps I should clarify this in the project documentation.
– Tom
Thank you so much! More C++ tutors! To many BP tutors! I love C++!
To your understanding what is fully networked? As with your inventory tutorial you stated it was fully networked/multiplayer as well while it’s not. (as checking the replication check box doesn’t make it multiplayer/fully networked)
And do you plan on making a blueprint only series for this?
As always great work on sharing this I’m sure it’s useful for a lot of people.
The inventory tutorial itself doesn’t state it’s fully networked. The separate UsableActor tutorials (considered a “part 1”) are fully network supported however.
And as for this project, yes it will by default support all features in multiplayer.
Edit: There won’t be a BP version for this (not planned atleast) The main reason this is all C++ is to balance out the great difference between BP and C++ resources that are currently available for UE4.
– Tom
The video series on 3rd person power pickup is outdated, they will need to modify some things in the code to get it to work. I don’t think it would be a good starter series for people trying to learn UE4 C++. Unless you want them to test their skills in debugging code. ;)
Thank you. I’ve removed it from the list.
They actually finally updated it, so.
