### Fire Logic (Pellet Spread)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
UseItem() → (called by IA_Fire or IA_Fire+IA_Aim for ADS)
|
||
│
|
||
├─ bIsFiring? → Return False
|
||
├─ bIsReloading? → Return False
|
||
├─ bIsBrokenOpen? → Auto-close barrels → wait 0.3s
|
||
│
|
||
├─ CurrentShells > 0? → Branch
|
||
│ ├─ True:
|
||
│ │ ├─ Set bIsFiring = true
|
||
│ │ ├─ CurrentShells -= 1
|
||
│ │ │
|
||
│ │ ├─ [Fire Both Barrels if 2 shells loaded?]
|
||
│ │ │ └─ Designer option: single or double fire
|
||
│ │ │ └─ Default: single fire (double on alt-fire)
|
||
│ │ │
|
||
│ │ ├─ [Multi-Trace Pellet System]
|
||
│ │ │ │
|
||
│ │ │ ├─ For i = 0 to PelletCount:
|
||
│ │ │ │ ├─ Calculate spread direction:
|
||
│ │ │ │ │ ├─ BaseDir: Camera forward vector
|
||
│ │ │ │ │ └─ Apply Random Cone (PelletSpreadAngle)
|
||
│ │ │ │ │
|
||
│ │ │ │ ├─ Start: MuzzleSocket.GetWorldLocation
|
||
│ │ │ │ ├─ End: Start + SpreadDir * FireRange
|
||
│ │ │ │ │
|
||
│ │ │ │ └─ Line Trace By Channel (Visibility)
|
||
│ │ │ │ ├─ Hit? → Branch
|
||
│ │ │ │ │ ├─ True:
|
||
│ │ │ │ │ │ ├─ HitActor → I_Damageable?
|
||
│ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─ ApplyDamage(PelletDamage, ...)
|
||
│ │ │ │ │ │ └─ Spawn impact decal
|
||
│ │ │ │ │ └─ False: continue
|
||
│ │ │ │ └─ Draw debug line (editor only, color per pellet)
|
||
│ │ │ │
|
||
│ │ │ └─ Track total pellets hit for combat feedback
|
||
│ │ │
|
||
│ │ ├─ [Effects]
|
||
│ │ │ ├─ MuzzleFlash → Activate
|
||
│ │ │ ├─ FireSound → Play
|
||
│ │ │ ├─ MuzzleLight → SetVisibility(true) → Delay(0.05) → false
|
||
│ │ │ └─ Camera shake (heavy): PlayCameraShake(ShotgunKick)
|
||
│ │ │
|
||
│ │ ├─ [Recoil]
|
||
│ │ │ └─ BPC_RecoilSystem.ApplyRecoil(WeaponData, ×3 heavy multiplier)
|
||
│ │ │
|
||
│ │ ├─ [Post-Fire]
|
||
│ │ │ ├─ Delay(FireRateTimer) → Set bIsFiring = false
|
||
│ │ │ └─ IF CurrentShells == 0 → Auto-break-open for reload
|
||
│ │ │ └─ Set bIsBrokenOpen = true, play break animation
|
||
│ │ │
|
||
│ │ └─ Return True
|
||
│ │
|

|
||
│ ├─ Play click/empty sound
|
||
│ └─ Return False
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Reload Logic (Shell-by-Shell)
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Reload()
|
||
│
|
||
├─ CurrentShells >= MaxShells? → Return (full)
|
||
├─ bIsReloading? → Return (already reloading)
|
||
│
|
||
├─ [If not broken open] → Play break-open animation → Set bIsBrokenOpen = true
|
||
│
|
||
├─ Set bIsReloading = true
|
||
│
|
||
├─ [Shell Loop — reload one shell at a time]
|
||
│ │
|
||
│ ├─ BPC_AmmoComponent.GetAmmoCount(ShellAmmoTypeTag)
|
||
│ │
|
||
│ ├─ While CurrentShells < MaxShells AND BPC_AmmoComponent.AmmoCount > 0:
|
||
│ │ ├─ BPC_AmmoComponent.ConsumeAmmo(ShellAmmoTypeTag, 1)
|
||
│ │ ├─ CurrentShells += 1
|
||
│ │ ├─ Play ReloadSound (shell click)
|
||
│ │ └─ Delay(ShellReloadDelay = 0.8s)
|
||
│ │
|
||
│ └─ [Player CAN fire mid-reload if at least 1 shell loaded]
|
||
│ └─ If IA_Fire pressed during reload:
|
||
│ ├─ Stop reload loop
|
||
│ ├─ Play break-close animation
|
||
│ ├─ Set bIsBrokenOpen = false
|
||
│ ├─ Set bIsReloading = false
|
||
│ └─ Process Fire (with whatever shells are loaded)
|
||
│
|
||
├─ [Reload Complete]
|
||
│ ├─ Play break-close animation
|
||
│ ├─ Set bIsBrokenOpen = false
|
||
│ ├─ Set bIsReloading = false
|
||
│ └─ Broadcast OnReloadComplete
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Damage Falloff
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
CalculatePelletDamage(BaseDamage, Distance):
|
||
│
|
||
├─ IF Distance <= 500: multiplier = 1.0 (point-blank: devastating)
|
||
├─ IF Distance <= 1500: multiplier = 0.7 (close range: lethal)
|
||
├─ IF Distance <= 2500: multiplier = 0.4 (medium: wounding)
|
||
└─ IF Distance > 2500: multiplier = 0.15 (long: minor)
|
||
│
|
||
└─ Return BaseDamage × multiplier / PelletCount
|
||
```

||
|
||
### Melee Logic
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
UseItem() → BPC_MeleeSystem.Swing(Self)
|
||
│
|
||
├─ bIsSwinging? → Return False
|
||
│
|
||
├─ Set bIsSwinging = true
|
||
│
|

|
||
│
|
||
├─ [Swing Hitbox — enable at 0.15s (mid-swing)]

||
│ ├─ Delay(0.15) → SwingHitbox.SetCollisionEnabled(QueryOnly)

||
│ │ └─ (Hit each actor only once per swing — use a hit-set)
|
||
│ │
|
||
│ └─ Delay(0.15) → SwingHitbox.SetCollisionEnabled(NoCollision)
|
||
│
|
||
├─ [Swing Complete]
|
||
│ ├─ Delay(SwingCooldown) → Set bIsSwinging = false
|
||
│ └─ Return True
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Pry Function
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
CanPryOpen(DoorActor: BP_DoorActor*) → Boolean

||
## Weapon Animation Notifies (GASP Integration)
|
||
|
||
All held weapons fire animation notifies that the GASP AnimBP listens to:
|
||
|
||
| Notify | Weapon | Purpose |
|
||
|--------|--------|---------|
|
||
| `Notify_Fire` | Pistol, Shotgun | Triggers fire animation blend |
|
||
| `Notify_ReloadStart` | Pistol, Shotgun | Enters reload animation state |
|
||
| `Notify_ReloadEnd` | Pistol, Shotgun | Exits reload animation state |
|
||
| `Notify_MeleeSwing` | Crowbar | Triggers melee swing blend |
|
||
| `Notify_Equip` | All | Weapon equip animation |
|
||
| `Notify_Unequip` | All | Weapon holster animation |
|
||
| `Notify_AimDownSights` | Pistol, Shotgun | ADS pose transition |
|
||
| `Notify_HipFire` | Pistol, Shotgun | Hip fire pose transition |
|
||
|
||
These are added to montage slots in the **GASP child AnimBP**, NOT in the weapon BP itself.

## Quick Comparison
|
||
|
||
| Feature | Pistol | Shotgun | Flashlight | Crowbar |
|
||
|---------|--------|---------|-----------|---------|
|
||
| **Role** | Ranged DPS | Burst damage | Vision | Utility + Melee |
|
||
| **Best Range** | Medium-Long | Close | Infinite (light) | Melee |
|
||
| **Ammo Management** | Magazine | Shell-by-shell | Battery (%) | None |
|
||
| **Reload Strategy** | Dump + reload | Tactical (can interrupt) | Replace battery | N/A |
|
||
| **Recoil** | Light | Heavy | None | None |
|
||
| **ADS Benefit** | Higher accuracy | Tighter spread | N/A | N/A |
|
||
| **Stress Impact** | None | +5 (loud) | -1/sec (safe light) | None |
|
||
| **Silent?** | No | No | Yes | No (swing noise) |
|
||
| **Attracts Enemies?** | Yes (2000u radius) | Yes (3000u radius) | Yes (800u radius) | Yes (1200u radius) |
|

|
||
|
||
## Notes for Expansion
|
||
|
||
- Add **weapon degradation**: pistol jams after 100 shots without cleaning
|
||
- Add **flashlight flicker**: battery below 10% causes random light flicker (horror mechanic)
|
||
- Add **shotgun slug ammo**: alternate ammo type — single slug instead of pellets, longer range
|
||
- Add **crowbar upgrade**: wrap with cloth → silent melee swings (no enemy alert)
|
||
- Add **aim-assist** for controller players (configurable in accessibility)
|
||
- Add **weapon inspection animation**: hold reload key to inspect weapon (cosmetic)
|
||
- Multiplayer: all fire/reload must be server-authoritative with client prediction for effects
