VerticalThird 垂直的,垂直的

Example Game

• Vertical Third comes with an Example Game. A packaged Example Game is included with a Client/Singleplayer and Dedicated Server Version. This Example Game is a preview of what is capable with Vertical Third – AI, Combat, Loot, Questing, Crafting, Cosmetics & More! Located in the V3RD_Extras Folder.

Multiplayer Methodology

• Replicate small, simulate on the client
• Give clients enough information to prevent constant server request spam (such as cooldowns)
• Net Relevancy Based: lower irrelevant network traffic when clients are too far away
• Carefully monitor the amount of replicated variables
• Variable Replication Conditions (initial, owner only)
• RPC Events
• Never trust the client (server validates all combat, quest, crafting, ect. events)

Blueprint Communication

• As a memory optimization effort, nearly all Blueprint communication is done through Blueprint Interfaces.

Animation

• Fast Path as much as possible
• Update Rate Optimization
• Bone LOD
• Master Pose Component for the Kitbash Cosmetic system
• Starter Animation Kit created by Thomas Castle

Number of Blueprints: 365

This product supports Nanite for Unreal Engine 5.0+ and supported platforms should only include Windows, Playstation, and Xbox, as those are the only platforms that officially support Nanite at this time. However, Nanite can be disabled and not affect Vertical Third features.

示例游戏

• Vertical Third附带了一个示例游戏。 一个打包的示例游戏包含在客户端/单播放器和专用服务器版本中。 这个例子游戏是一个预览什么是能够与垂直第三-AI，战斗，战利品，任务，手工艺，化妆品和更多！ 位于V3RD_Extras文件夹中。

多人游戏方法

• 在客户端上复制小，模拟
• 为客户端提供足够的信息以防止持续的服务器请求垃圾邮件（如冷却时间）
• 基于网络相关性：当客户端距离太远时，降低不相关的网络流量
• 仔细监控复制变量的数量
• 可变复制条件（初始，仅限所有者）
• RPC事件
• 永远不要信任客户端（服务器验证所有战斗，任务，制作等。 活动)

蓝图通讯

• 作为内存优化工作，几乎所有蓝图通信都通过蓝图接口完成。

动画制作

• 尽可能快的路径
• 更新率优化
• 骨LOD
• Kitbash美容系统的主姿势组件
• 由托马斯城堡创建的初学者动画套件

蓝图数目:365

该产品支持Nanite for Unreal Engine5.0+，支持的平台应仅包括Windows、Playstation和Xbox，因为这些是目前唯一正式支持Nanite的平台。 然而，Nanite可以被禁用并且不影响垂直第三特征。

Quickly iterate through ideas when utilizing Vertical Third’s key features:

Fully Blueprint Code:

• No C++ Required

• Does not require a source built version of Unreal Engine

Auto-Detect Multiplayer

• Vertical Third’s systems has been designed to automatically detect if your client is a Dedicated Server, Listen Server or Client. When choosing Singleplayer, Vertical Third utilizes the Listen Server mode.

KitBash Cosmetics

• Combine any number of Static Mesh together to create new characters or gear sets. Nanite compatible!

• Attaches each Static Mesh to specific Skeletal Mesh sockets

• KitBash Cosmetic level with instructions on how to use

• Slots that have a visual appearance are: Head, Neck, Shoulders, Arms/Wrists, Hands, Chest-Top, Chest-Bot, Waist, Thigh, Calf, Foot. Where left/right is capable you can mix asymmetric options. Such as different Left and Right Shoulders.

• Equipment will detect Male, Female and Non-Binary character settings. A different look can be created for each option for the same item.

• *A default Mannequin is available for Male/Female currently with a Non-Binary model being planned for the future*

DataTable Based Systems

• Combat, Loot, Recipes, Quests and Scoreboard are all DataTable based and can be quickly edited, even during play-in-editor, to make changes in real time. DataTable information is organized in categories throughout each system.

Multi-Perspective Project

• You can set your perspective through the in Game Options menu or by setting a default character variable.

• Vertical Third has the following perspective options: First Person, First Person Shooter, Third Person, Third Person Shooter (“True” FPS), Isometric, Side-scroller and Top-Down. With the Data Table based Combat System, you can change targeting with a simple drop-down menu.

Through a myriad of options you can spawn combinations of Direct Target, Projectile (Standard/Homing/Bouncing/Bullet/HitTrace), Beam, Cone, Mobility (Dash/Teleport), Area-of-Effect (Standard/Pulse/Volume) and Actor Spawns.

• Passive Actions for Parry, Dodge, Block, Hit, Critical Hit, Resource Percent

• Buff: Target a random ally and use an Action on them.

• Heal: Detect if an ally is at 70% or less health and use an Action on them.

• Debuff: Target a random enemy and use an Action on them.
