contextual animation stuff in Sleight of Hand – joe wintergreen internet zone
I’ve been working for the last week or two on a system to streamline contextual or scripted animation stuff in Sleight of Hand, a stealth game with a lot of systemic interaction aspirations. I built an interest source system a while back for coordinated investigations and dynamic behaviours, and while some of those interactions have been doing cool stuff on the animation side (a guy might rip open a wardrobe you’re hiding in, for example), it has tended to involve a lot of more-or-less-boilerplate Blueprint every time; it’s not been as easy as it should be to drop in what Half-Life called a “scripted sequence”. This fortnight’s work has improved this a great deal, and I’ll tell you for why, and perhaps you will benefit from doing something like this yourself.
