In this video I give an in depth explanation of how hitscan and projectile weapons function and how they differ.
I made this video using Unreal Engine 5 Early Access 2 and the First Person Template has changed a lot since then, so the implementation part in the video might be hard to code along to for beginners now.
The biggest change is that the functionality is now split between the first person character and the gun. Instead of using InputAction Fire on the character, we must now use OnFireProjectile in the BP_Rifle to attach our hitscan functionality to. Also all the vr functionality is gone by default so there is no need to delete the nodes shown in the video.
Also when getting the shooting direction for the hitscan we don't have a reference to the camera inside the bp_rifle so we need to use our FirstPersonCharacter Reference and the FirstPersonCamera on it.
Since so many things have changed I might want to revisit and redo this tutorial in the future!
