Create a Damage Flash Effect in Unreal Engine 5 | Ninja Bear Studio

[@NinjaBearStudio]

Very clever, Ro! One suggestion: You can also bind to the "Damage Received" event from the Damage Manager, so you can be sure that there was actual damage applied. If you just bind to the Health Attribute, you might need to track the previous/current health to make sure that you are applying the flash effect when health is reduced, and not when health is added (i.e. healing). But your approach might also be quite useful if you want to apply a similar effect for healing, for example: a red flash for damage and a green one for healing.

Amazing Idea! I will definitely be going over that as well 🥳 Appreciate everything you do to allow us to make amazing games 🥹

Nice method, thank you for sharing! One tip though, I think to bulletproof it, would be nice to save first all the OGmaterials in an array and iterating through a loop, and then set it back again through another loop, in case in the future any enemy or object could have multiple material IDs, otherwise only the first material index 0 would be flashing. Also, it is a slightly better solution that instead of dealing with delays, you set it with timer by event. Specially if you intend to add multiplayer.

That would be great! Nice suggestion

[@BlueDream71071]

as much as it pains my soul a little, i think ive decided to reboot my combat project, i was using combat fury for a while, then tried aarpg, and then acf but i think gas may be the way to go

[@CodeWithRo]

GAS will definitely make your project less like an asset flip so 100% agree with you on that 🥳
