Very interesting. I was unaware the Vanilla Infinity Engine had a UE5 port. Infinity+ will not be ported to UE5 though. We’ve been working on it for so long and kinda just want to get it to a finished spot by this point. Although there is someone in our community who has begun working on an unofficial UE5 port so maybe that will go somewhere.

[@legometaworld2728]

Can it be used commercially if I replace the copyrighted models with my own?

[@CobraCode]

Not quite sure about that. You'd have to double check the license of the original Infinity Engine (Not the github reupload for UE5). But even if they claim it's under a MIT license, I believe they probably don't have the right to do so since assets they don't have the copyright for are included. I'd personally stay away from that and remake everything from scratch. However you should be ok to use this as a learning resource and reference on how to implement something (even though the blueprints in this project are horrendous and not a good example of how to do things)

How difficult is it to import player models and objects that are not native to the engine?

[@CobraCode]

Not very hard, but if you create the model yourself in blender you'll need to pay attention to a few export settings to make them work properly with unreal engine. For fbx animations though there is currently an engine bug which will prevent you from importing them most of the time.

[@steelynumber1315]

Just out of curiosity, can you edit Sonic's appearance? (i.e: Boom model, '06 model etc.)

[@CobraCode]

You could if you find the model and animations 'somewhere', but it would take A LOT of time and effort to set up the new animation graph and hook everything up.

Hi, it's cool that it's all free and you can see how the logic is done there and use it to your advantage for your projects, but I don't understand why it's being passed off as another engine if it's basically UE5(UE4) and they created a bunch of blueprints in it, can you do that? (Also, I looked at the logic behind these blueprints, and I was sickened by how bad it was there) Anyway, thanks again to you and the people who put this together.

[@CobraCode]

I think it's just that 'Infinity Engine' sounds cool and this is mostly targeted at amateur game devs who wouldn't know the difference. Yeah technically it isn't more than a big template or sample project with a bunch of animations and blueprints set up. And yes I was also shocked by how unorganized and unoptimized the blueprints were, but I think that makes it even more amazing that they were so passionate about this project, they were able to create something this amazing even with limited knowledge about blueprints.

[@anonymouschinchilla8050]

When clicking on this I wasn't really looking at the video duration, and was expecting to see how you build the game from ground up, not just map editing. And after finish watching I still don't know why Infinity Engine and what does it do that make you choose it on top of UE5. (Other than the Sonic project of course, but then why not just call it Sonic Game Template?). I think it's fair to say that's a misleading title for a Sonic game template showcase video. Edit: Removed the part where the video is quiet, just my headphone dying. Thank you.

[@CobraCode]

Hey, thank you for your feedback and giving me your opinion! I'm sorry that the video didn't deliver on the promise the title gave you. If more viewers feel that way I'll consider changing the title, since I didn't mean to be misleading. I personally believe though that "How to ... - Infinity Engine Tutorial' should have made it clear enough that this is not me making the game from the ground up and just a walkthrough of how to use Infinity Engine. I believe this is much more than just map editing though since I also walk through the process of setting it up, show the part of my school project where we added additional functionality and try to give a base explanation of how you could go about adding your own functionality as well. Infinity Engine comes with everything exposed as blueprints so you can learn about how every part of the game works simply by looking at the blueprints and then making changes to them. You can then apply those lessons to your other platformer games you are making. I hope this cleared up a few misconceptions!

[@UltimateFocused]

It's just a simple setup tutorial for those struggling to set up the engine correctly also Sonic Game template wouldn't really fit the title as it's not that, he explains how to set it up and what it does.

[@ThyTrueNightmare]

If I was going to make a sonic game, I would take the default infinity engine and do what I could to convert all of the blueprints into c++, there is other issues with the project like he never used inheritance so both shadow and sonic use the same nodes rather then getting them from a parent class. All in all its a sold start and I personally prefer it over infinity as its quite simple where infinity doesn't really know where it wants to be

[@CobraCode]

Yeah definitely agree with you. They built an amazing base here, but if you want to use it on a serious long term project a total refactor is absolutely necessary. Like you mentioned having a cast for sonic and another cast for shadow for each action was really shocking to see.

Are there not any legal issues in creating a Sonic game?

There are many sonic fan games and even an expo called SAGE dedicated to them, so it seems like sega is a lot more lenient about this than other publishers, but you never know how long that will last. As mentioned in the disclaimer in the video description you should do your own research if you plan to release anything publicly you make with this. I would only use this as an educational reference to learn about level design and look at the blueprints to get a better understanding of how to create a platformer character in UE that feels good to control.

I have a question how did you implement multiplayer?

[@CobraCode]

It's been a couple of years since I did the multiplayer for the school project, so I'm not too sure about the specifics anymore, but it wasn't really that complicated. It was mostly just spawning multiple pawns on begin play, assigning a player controller to them and setting up the split screen. I do believe that I followed this tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqGqlYJ5q7yebZY

[@megadrive2698]

thanks also this video was really helpful

[@nextlvlroy]

How do you set up a usb-connected controller to this? Doesn't detect it.

[@CobraCode]

AFAIK unreal engine doesn't detect 'direct input', but only 'x-input' controllers by default. So it should work if you use an xbox controller. If you use something else you could add a link to your unreal engine project in steam and start it through steam to get access to the steam input system.

[@CobraCode]

Somebody saying 'please respond fast' and being demanding makes me not wanna respond at all, but you're lucky I'm a really nice dude. I still think first of all you need to work on your attitude and expectations though. Making money with games is probably one of the hardest things in the world you could ever do... that doesn't mean that I want you to give up on that, but I want you to realize that you will fail over and over and over again attempting to do that and it will take years of determination to actually succeed in that field even a little bit. There's many different ways you could possibly make money and I think what you're talking about are mobile game ads. I don't think showing an ad on boot up is the right way to go about it though. You'd more likely show an ad whenever the player dies or have them watch a video to get an item. Now I've never done mobile games or mobile ads because my focus is somewhere else, so when it comes to implementation you'll have to look around for somebody else. Also for mobile games unreal engine is probably not your best bet.

[@Handepsilon]

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it : The port to UE5 has some of the worst examples on how to script the game and some bad blueprint practices. It looks good on the inside, but the inside of it, as you can sneak peek in the blueprint part of the video, is a total mess. Let me explain the technicalities here, for the more savvy. This is comment will be very long. I'll give tl;dr impact later : 1. Most things are hardcoded. What I mean is that there are fixed variables like what effect and sound to use, what actions to take for which object. The Sonic/Shadow blueprint class tries to cast each object one by one to determine half of which action to take when interacting with them, including the damage dealing. Most of their actions are also barely capable to be overridden if you want to make other Sonic characters. Heck, did you know that the invincibility frames are basically a fixed string of copypasted delay > visibility change instead of a more versatile time-based function? 2. Get this : There's little to no parent-class relationship despite the similarity in actions that each object has, including Sonic and Shadow. This means that the springs and enemies has to cast the pawn to either Sonic or Shadow... and uses their exclusive variables to do basically the same behavior. Each springs and dash rings are also their own class with their own exclusive variables and their own functions. This is hella inefficient and could've easily been avoided by just giving parent classes for each categories like springs, dash rings. Heck, Sonic and Shadow could've been parented to same class since most of the things they do are basically copy-pasted from each other, variables included. 3. A lot of things could easily be compacted into functions. Granted, some had delays that made compacting them to functions impossible, but a lot of them can be made into timer-based function. Like the slowdown timing. The abilities and movesets are also mostly opened up in the event graph instead of being used as an overridable functions Tl;dr : The blueprints basically looked like it was created with only Sonic and Shadow in mind, with you being expected to just use the assets in level editor instead of being able to actually add/change things outside of variables. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use Infinity Engine though, because it does have some good end-functionality. It's just that the organization of these functionalities are a mess, and hardly workable if you want to do more than just make levels. Also, no disrespect to the devs of Infinity Engine, because even if it was a mess, it actually works well enough PS : I'm actually trying to tweak the blueprints so that they are much more versatile and modular to use. As expected, there's nearly no loss in functionality. For people who wishes to work with blueprints : do not do it like this. Blueprints can be used as parent class of your other blueprints, and trust me : it makes organizing things a lot better. I dunno if this is just ancient old stuff, but trust me when I say it's not a good practice to just parent everything to Actor or Character. Heck, if you can do C++, you can go ahead and make the base class in C++ instead.

Was it different in the UE4 version? I remember it being a mess back then as well. I totally agree with you, but didn't want to dwell on that too hard since I'm really thankful to what the original creator did here and it's amazing what they accomplished even though they probably don't have that much experience with Unreal Engine judging by how the blueprints look. If I was to seriously work with infinity engine I also feel like I'd need to do a complete refactor first.

@@CobraCode Honestly I don't know because I got into the craze late due to specs issue. That's kinda why I said UE5 because that's the only one that I know. I do have to give it to them that they made something that actually worked function-wise. It's just... yeah, a lot of things inside had to be redone. Also, iirc I remember once upon a time, corkscrew behavior was not possible in blueprint-only project before in Unreal Engine 4 because there were things that prevented upside down characters from working properly

Yep this is definitely the Fortnite engine

[@forcoolguys1534]

Can i make this is fortnite!??

[@CobraCode]

I'm not that familiar with user created content in Fortnite, so I can't give an answer. It seems like they just announced the UE Editor for fortnite though, so that might enable things like importing your own maps. Not quite sure though.

@@CobraCode Also I have another question, Can i make this is roblox!??

[@CobraCode]

​@@forcoolguys1534 I don't know much about roblox, but my guess would be 'no'. Since roblox is not connected to the unreal engine ecosystem and a completely different thing

everytime I open it I gett this message "Failed to load map! ../../../../../../Users/Sagel/OneDrive/Desktop/sonic infinty engine/MugenEngine-UE5-main/Content/Maps/Blitz1.umap appears to be an asset file."

[@CobraCode]

Haven't seen that error before, so not quite sure what is causing it. Does it force shutdown unreal engine or are you still able to create another map yourself? In case you can create a new map you can set that as the default in maps and modes to at least be able to start up the game. Sucks to not be able to use the sample map though :(

[@ff36_the_idiot]

@@CobraCode it just puts me in with a blank map with no code or anything

[@CobraCode]

@@ff36_the_idiot If you change the game mode to the sonic game mode you should still have sonic as the playable character, correct? You could use that as a starting point and then place the object blueprints yourself
