base on C++ Action Roguelike in Unreal Engine 5. # Action Roguelike C++ Unreal Engine Game  **Main Branch Engine Version: 5.5** <br> > ### Learn Unreal Engine C++ The Epic Way > **Want to learn how to build this C++ Game from scratch?

The melee system builds on the Action System (similar to GAS) and uses Behavior Trees to initiate the logic to run up and perform the melee attack. **Walkthrough** - The Enemy's BehaviorTree checks if target (player) is within certain distance, and initiate melee attack sequence (run closer then attack when in attack range) - **[RogueAction_MinionMeleeAttack](https://github.com/tomlooman/ActionRoguelike/blob/master/Source/ActionRoguelike/AI/RogueAction_MinionMeleeAttack.cpp)** (Action) handles the start/stop of the attack. Runs an AnimMontage with the attack animation. - **[RogueAnimationInstance](https://github.com/tomlooman/ActionRoguelike/blob/master/Source/ActionRoguelike/Animation/RogueAnimInstance.cpp)** (AnimBlueprint) contains *OnMeleeOverlap* which the Melee Attack Action listens for. - **[RogueAnimNotifyState_Melee](https://github.com/tomlooman/ActionRoguelike/blob/master/Source/ActionRoguelike/Animation/RogueAnimNotifyState_Melee.cpp)** (AnimNotify) broadcasts *OnMeleeOverlap* event when an melee overlap is found by running *OverlapMultiByChannel* colision query while the AnimNotify is active. - **game.drawdebugmelee 1** to visualize the overlap shape during melee attack. - OnMeleeOverlap is handled by the Melee Attack Action to apply Damage to the hit target. Note: The AnimMontage holds a Melee Attack animation and requires the custom AnimNotify in order to handle the overlap checks. # Browsing Older Releases The project is ocassionally updated to keep up with the latest Unreal Engine release. Additionally, new features are sometimes added to the project, often related to new Articles or Tutorials posted on [tomlooman.com](https://tomlooman.com). These will be included on the main branch, on whatever the latest UE version is at the time. **For C++ Course Students: You may use branch "Lecture29-FinishedProject" for finished course code without additions all the way back to UE4.25**  # Credits Huge thanks to [tharlevfx](https://www.tharlevfx.com/) for converting all the Paragon Cascade effects to Niagara! Check out his [VFX courses here](https://tharlevfx.gumroad.com/)! Another big thanks to [Sander van Zanten](https://www.sandervanzanten.nl/) for the audio overhaul in the project! **Game Assets:** Licensed for use with the Unreal Engine only.
