preface

In the game, the death of a character is usually triggered after the HP goes to zero, and then some character actions and animations will be matched for rendering, such as the model falling down, splitting, adding particle effects, and HUD will add a display information to remind the character of death.Copy the code

The body of the

Design death as a skill trigger

It usually takes an injury to trigger a death sentenceCopy the code

Param design

Logic design

Animation design

Death action

I'm still doing motion debugging in Blender, which is a lot of time at the moment, and when I do it at the same time, I have a lot of problems because I'm not familiar with the designCopy the code

Material and particle effects

Reference B station BV1yz4y1U77Q the elder brother is very detailed, is the video transition is very scaryCopy the code

Materials and Parameters

The whole thing looks like thisCopy the code

Material core logic

Using the characteristics of mask, the transparency of both ends of the If and Substract combination to achieve the value range, at the same time, the value of a part of the range of pixels to display or disappearCopy the code

Mask part

This part is responsible for missing pixelsCopy the code

Light emitting part

The luminous range needs to be used in conjunction with the mask. The luminous range should be limited to the middle sectionCopy the code

Carry out the assignment of self-luminous colorCopy the code

Panner

Panner is often used for UV displacement to achieve dynamic effects. The Speed parameter is essentially a 2D value, representing the XY coordinate offsetCopy the code

The image provides a certain amount of randomness (it feels like a rose in the middle of nowhere)Copy the code

Its system

A simplified particle systemCopy the code

Cover character surface

Start the gravity

You can float particlesCopy the code

The particle color

Animation is bound to particle effects

Callers and corresponding operations

Animation calls the notificationCopy the code

The character accepts the action and sets the particle effectCopy the code

Animate in TICK

Determines the particle animation start condition

Parameter control to achieve animation keyframe effect

Hiding instead of dying

It's not a good idea to destroy ACTOR without checking to hide it from wild Pointers and other messy situationsCopy the code

The final result

After 10 small punches, HP returns to zero and plays the death animation like it did before playing destructorCopy the code

The next one is about designing towers. Towers are essentially like peopleCopy the code
