FEATURE DIVE

Platform Movement

Overview

Platform movement was created using C++ scripting with values editable from the editor after compiling.

How I Took It Further

To make the design and placement of platforms easier, I added to the code for the object to draw a debug line when it is selected. The line updates dynamically based on direction and visually represents the end point a platform moves to.

OUTCOME

Through completing this project, I have learned a multitude of new skills in C++ programming within Unreal Engine which has helped improve my workflow. Alongside this, I have been able to create a fully fledged mini-game with a focus on level design.
