ALSXT

An Unreal Engine 5 plugin that extends ALS-Refactored with a set of popular replicated gameplay features, to demonstrate the extendability of ALS-Refactored in a Modular, Data-Driven, UE5 Way. The feature-set is informed by First and Third Person Tactical Shooters, Action Shooters and the parent project Target Vector.

ALSXT is under heavy development, many features may not be finished or production-ready.

Contibutors and PRs are welcome.

Introduction

Two example Character classes are provided ALSXTCharacter and ALSXTCharacterAdvanced, each with their respective feature-sets. You can create a sub-class or blueprint of either class or simply use ALSXTCharacterAdvanced as an example for building your own custom class from the base ALSXTCharacter class.

Important Note

ALSXT is not automatically synced with the main ALS-Refactored repository, but is instead maintained through this fork. If you find changes in ALS-Refactored have broken ALSXT you may use this fork to maintain more stability in your projects.

Installation

• Begin with an empty C++ Project
• Install and setup Enhanced Input Plugin
• Install and setup MetaSound Plugin
• Install the latest version of ALS-Refactored via https://github.com/Sixze/ALS-Refactored#quick-start
• Clone/download ALSXT into your projects Plugin folder (You should have both ALS-Refactored and ALSXT side by side)
• Integrate Config\DefaultEngine.ini into your projects DefaultEngine.ini
  • Note: Various SurfaceTypes and a new CollisionChannel named Transferrable are required for the Footprints and Impact Effects to work. SurfaceTypes can be renamed and/or re-assigned in the respective effects Settings.
• Build your Solution in Visual Studio or Rider again
• Once compilation is successful you can now begin using ALSXT in your project

Settings

Most Settings are set in the ALSXT Character Settings Data Assets in the Character Blueprint. This is where you would customize animations, sounds, parameters and toggle features. Components are configured similarly. Components may have some general settings that are editable when clicking on the Component inside the Character Blueprint.

Contributions

I'm looking for help with implementing Root Motion for Vaulting, Wallrunning, Walljumping! Any advice regarding making actions more GAS-friendly would be welcome!

If you wish to contribute, please ensure you are in sync with ALSXT, message me and I'll set up permissions for you. While I try to stay in sync with ALS-Refactored, at times it may be temporarily out of sync and features may break or need refactoring. Please submit an issue for any Compile error fixes. Most are usually the result of ALSXT not being synced to ALS-R.
