UE4 Tutorial: Flashbang Grenades (Counter-Strike, Call of Duty)

[@vincentschulz9355]

Just a quick note: the flash effect will still occur if you're behind an object, so you'll have to set up a linetrace and another boolean to check if there's anything between the flashbang and your and the FP camera

[@underscore00]

Yeah it does need some polish. In hindsight, using a linetrace and checking whether the player has LoS with the grenade when it goes off would have been a better way to do it. Plus, it would be easier to get the distance between the player and the grenade with a linetrace, just by using a get vector length and a normalize node. I might revisit this tutorial in the future and refine it a bit. Thanks for the note, and thanks for watching!

OK for anyone that Has the issue where the flash is on when you click play and your whole screen is white, I also had this. Its because the post process in the player BP is already active, I dragged in the post process component and dragged of and set enable to false on begin play. Then on the Flash-bang script do the opposite and set it to enable. Seems to be working without issue so far

[@gamer-hx9rh]

can you show me how to fix the white screen problem i did every thing just record a video and send it

[@yorl418]

@@gamer-hx9rh go on FlashParams et put the flash value to 1 after this go on your character and put the post process array to 1 if it's not already done

[@artywatts4892]

would be very nice if you could do an update on this, plus linetracing if objectives are between the player and the grenade. Nice videos: )

[@JackChapmanDesign]

Great tutorial, only issue I'm having is that when i press Play, the game automatically goes into a white screen. I've tried debugging the flow to see where it might be going wrong, but i can't seem to find anything :(

In the FlashParams material parameter collection file, try changing the FlashValue to 1.0 instead of 0.0.

[@Mixitrion]

Your tutorials are NOT beginner friendly.

[@underscore00]

This one is fairly advanced, but most of my videos are very beginner friendly. If you're new to UE4 I recommend starting with something simpler, like any of my material videos or the FPS series. I know it can be intimidating, but stick with it! You'll pick it up before you know it :)
