In this tutorial I show you how you can mirror your main git repo to either another git provider or onto your local hard drive to further back it up in the cloud.

I mainly worked on weapon controls like shooting, hit detection, fire rate, reloading and so on. To deal damage I wired up my system to the UE built-in damage system. This way the AI perception can react properly when being shot.

Also I worked on the AI a bit. I switched it to using the Detour AI Controller so that enemies stop bumping into each other when trying to reach the player. It works, but it introduced a weird rotation glitch, where the enemies are rotating like crazy when trying to face the player.

Also on that note, I switched to C++ for writing the AI Controller. I noticed that the more complex the behavior got the more the blueprint looked like a bowl of spaghetti.

Remove dependency on SceneView and replace it with our custom method to calculate the view matrix and projection matrix

Render scene and weapon model with different field of views.
Modern shooters use a double camera setup. One camera with a variable field of view is used for scene rendering and one camera with a fixed field of view is used to render just the weapon model and its animations.

Using SceneView works only for when you have an editor attached. In this video https://youtu.be/JjrtV8s3hT4 I show how to make this work for release builds.
