#32 Advanced Melee Damage Calculation | RPG Framework in Unreal Engine 5
In this tutorial, we take a deep dive into advanced melee damage systems inspired by games like Dark Souls. You’ll learn how to calculate melee damage based on both character base stats and weapon properties, while also factoring in resistances for more balanced and strategic gameplay.
We’ll implement this using Gameplay Effect Calculation Execution classes in Unreal Engine, fully customizable in Blueprints, giving you flexibility to adjust your combat mechanics as needed.
🎯 What’s Covered:
Combining character and weapon damage
Implementing melee resistance
Using Gameplay Ability System for calculations
Creating reusable and modular systems
Blueprint integration for customization
This system adds depth and realism to your RPG combat and is fully integrated with the inventory and ability systems built in previous tutorials.
