Delays Long story short I’ve had a week of successfully pushing off the work I need to do in Unreal. On one hand I can blame it on work or how my neck randomly started to really hurt (as if I’d pulled it) mid week. However, I’ve had more than enough time today to make headway on my projects and yet…here we are. It’s not that I haven’t made progress this week but just that my day today was not used well.

Refactoring Continues This past 2 weeks has seen a the completion of the refactoring work for the zombie character. In addition to the original logic, I’ve now am utilizing the physics body of the character. This was another experiment where I knew that this technique would be helpful, but my total lack of experience held me off from actually starting. But I’m glad I did. Given this new system, it is quite satisfying when the zombie is killed.

Refactoring So, this will be my first entry that’s actually been on time in awhile. I spent the entire week refactoring the zombie enemy’s blueprint logic into C++. Overall this was a straightforward process, what made it difficult is just figuring out some of the unique things that must be done in order to translate otherwise “simple” nodes into C++. One notable example is how timers are utilized in BP vs C++.
