Boss Fight | Unreal Engine 5 | Magic Combat | Showcase

This is a showcase of my "Boss" enemy type. The enemy AI is all built using Ue5 behaviour trees and blueprints. With each is ability used depends on the current state of the fight.
This showcase includes the following skills/abilities:
- Magic Projectiles
- Homing Projectiles
- AOE attacks
- Healing
- Elemental Shields and Arrows
- Teleportation/Dashing
- Short Range Explosions
- Spawning minions
I will most likely be making a tutorial on the "Magic Combat System" that powers the attacks of this enemy. If you are interested please let me know in the comments.
Also if you are interested in any other game dev tutorials using Unreal Engine 5 (ue5) please let me know.

P.S game development for me is a hobby, I'm not an artists so I don't know much about 3D modeling, VFX and character animation, so all the art you see here is a combination of free assets from the Unreal marketplace and other sources on the internet

Absolutely loving the content Ali, after watching your projectile video and now seeing this I am extremely excited for everything you have to teach us in unreal engine 5.

[@AliElZoheiry]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! It takes a lot of effort to make these tutorials and videos, so seeing that they help people really motivates me. Thanks again!

[@mohamedgaber5561]

Great work, I learned many things from your tutorials. Can you please make a video for creating the teleport ability for the enemy

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey Mohamed, I will indeed be creating a mage enemy tutorial in a bit (as part of my Smart Enemy AI series), and that enemy will have a teleport ability

[@geraldcarter7554]

Awesome job bro! Please make a tutorial for sure

[@LegendOfCalvas]

This looks amazing!

[@AliElZoheiry]

Glad you like it ;) it's one of the things I'm most proud of, even though it's a little rough 😅

[@xDeux98x]

are u using a custom switch system for in game and cutscene or a default implented in UE? Thanks for the good quality tutorials u helped me a lot for AI 🔥

[@AliElZoheiry]

Thank you Mikle! Glad you're enjoying the tutorials, I am just using the sequence editor in UE to create the cutscenes, and when I defeat the boss, I disable input and play the sequence that's in the level, so nothing custom, all UE tools

crazy

[@nagebsoliman7310]

It's very cool. I would love to reach the level of this game play, but I am a beginner, so what do you advise me to reach the level of this video and your follower from Egypt

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey there, I'm glad you found the video cool! If you're a beginner, my best advice for you is to start with the basics, practice regularly, and be patient with yourself. Progress will come with dedication and building a strong foundation. And shoutout to my follower from Egypt! Keep learning and enjoy the journey! P.S I also give some tips for new game devs in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/o53UgpR4fLtjkM0

[@sayayuuki127]

are you using ALS, or is this your own custom animation blueprint? I would love to see a tutorial on the animation blueprint, it looks really good. Keep up the good work!

[@AliElZoheiry]

Thank you! This is all custom, I'm not using any plugins. I can make a tutorial on this soon if you're interested, what exactly would you like to learn?

[@sayayuuki127]

@@AliElZoheiry Thanks for the reply! I want to learn more about making a somewhat advanced locomotion system that isn't crazy like ALS. Specifically, I was hoping to learn about walk starts, walk stops, and turning based on input direction. (ex. if the player is moving right and then the input for left is pressed then the player will play a "turn to left" animation before walking in that direction)

[@AliElZoheiry]

@@sayayuuki127 Alright, I'll definitely consider that for future tutorials. Thanks for the input 🙏

[@sayayuuki127]

@@AliElZoheiry thanks! really appreciate it, also the AI series it really great. You have my support keep it up!

[@kasperlarsson7598]

Is there a tutorial on how you have done this? :) Looks great

[@AliElZoheiry]

Well, there's a lot going on here, but many of the mechanics you see here for the boss, mainly the movements, attacks and some combat elements are covered in my Smart Enemy AI series

[@tomerhertz8502]

Hey Ali, can you explain after certain attacks you have a delay & a menu which lets the character choose a from an array of attacks/abilities ?

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey Tom, I believe you are referring to the attack cooldowns and the action bar on the bottom, correct? if so, I will consider making separate videos on these topics in the near future. stay tuned ;)

[@AliElZoheiry]

If you want to know something specific in the meantime, feel free to ask in Discord

[@Thet2005]

Fight with zeus???

[@AliElZoheiry]

Something like that indeed, although it was more like “what VFX do I have for free and what attacks can I make out of them” :D

[@haythembenhaddada9988]

Good job bro we are waiting for a tutorial

[@AliElZoheiry]

[@AliElZoheiry]

I'm covering a lot of the things here in my Smart Enemy AI series, and I will be making a boss fight eventually, but it won't be as full of features as this video, since this was a full game I was working on
