Advanced Movement

Overview

Github Repository

Author plugin written for Riftborn. It adds handy movement logic for Character Movement Component.

Features

• Replication
• Sprinting
• Dashing

Instructions

Inherit from UAdvancedMovementComponent to have all the features.

The owner of the component must inherit from AAdvancedMovementCharacter.

class HUM_API UHumMovementComponent : public UAdvancedMovementComponent

Override GetMaxSpeed() to adjust max speed of Character.

if (IsMovingBackward())
{
    return IsCrouching() ? MaxBackwardWalkSpeedCrouched : MaxBackwardWalkSpeed;
}

Sprinting

Use SprintPressed() to start the sprinting and SprintReleased() to stop sprinting.

enhancedInputComponent->BindAction(sprintAction,
                                               ETriggerEvent::Started,
                                               this,
                                               &AHumBaseCharacter::SprintPressed);

void AHumBaseCharacter::SprintReleased(const FInputActionValue& InValue)
{
    AdvancedMovementComponent->SprintReleased();
}

void AHumBaseCharacter::SprintPressed(const FInputActionValue& InValue)
{
    if (IsAbleToHandleInput())
    {
        AdvancedMovementComponent->SprintPressed();
    }
}

Sprint is allowed only if IsSprintingAllowed() returns true.

bool UAdvancedMovementComponent::IsSprintingAllowed() const
{
    return !IsCrouching() 
        && !IsFalling() 
        && !IsCustomMovementMode(CMOVE_Slide)
        && IsMovingOnGround() 
        && Velocity.SizeSquared() >= 100.0f 
        && !Safe_bWantsToSprint
        && AdvancedCharacter->CanSprint(); 
}

Note

It also calls AdvancedCharacter CanSprint(). This can be useful for adding additional conditions

Note

You can check if the character wants to run in GetMaxSpeed() to set it to the desired speed

IsMovementMode(MOVE_Walking) && Safe_bWantsToSprint

---

Dashing

Use DashPressed() and DashReleased() to perform Dash.

Note

This must be executed on the client to replicate properly

CanDash() determines whether the character can currently Dash or not.

bool UAdvancedMovementComponent::CanDash() const
{
    return IsWalking() &&
        !IsSprinting() &&
        !IsSliding() &&
        !IsCrouching() &&
        !IsFalling() && AdvancedCharacter->CanDash();
}

Note

It also calls CanDash() from AdvancedCharacter. This is useful if you want to add conditions for performing a Dash
