In Episode 36 of the Master Unreal Series, we level up your interaction system in Unreal Engine 5 by introducing Tap, Hold, Double-Tap, and Multi-Tap inputs — all powered by the Gameplay Ability System (GAS)! 🎮
Inspired by Resident Evil-style interactions, we go from input setup to full gameplay integration, covering multiplayer, optimization, and dynamic interaction events. Whether you're creating doors, levers, loots, or puzzles — this is your blueprint for AAA-level interaction.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
Create a responsive interaction system with Tap & Hold
Use GAS to trigger gameplay abilities dynamically
Optimize detection and manage multiplayer edge cases
Communicate between Blueprints using Interfaces and Events
This is the most scalable and flexible interaction system you’ll build in UE5 — start now and future-proof your project!
