Mastering Unreal Engine 4.X

Enemy

This class is very different, as it is not playing the controller role as the previous one. Here, we will be adding a component in order to build the enemy character itself, static mesh, triggers, and so on.

Also, we include the attributes of the enemy, such as the attacking range, its health, or even the variables that will be controlling some animations, such as the status of life or dead.

Enemy.h

#pragma once #include "GameFramework/Character.h" ...
