FPS VR Target Shooter Game

Project Overview

This is a First-Person Shooter (FPS) VR game developed in Unreal Engine 5. The main objective is to destroy all targets in each level to progress. Once all targets in a level are destroyed, the game either moves to the next level or returns to the main menu if the final level is completed. The game incorporates VR-specific mechanics, including teleportation, interactable objects, and a pistol with dynamic ammo tracking and reloading.

Features

Core Gameplay

• Limited Ammo System: Players have a limited ammo count displayed on a spatial UI attached to their pistol. Ammo can be replenished via a reload function triggered by a dedicated button. Shooting is disabled when ammo reaches 0.
• Delayed Reloading: A realistic reload mechanic with a time delay and audio feedback ensures strategic gameplay.
• Health System: Players can take damage from environmental hazards (if applicable) and restore health by picking up health packs, up to a maximum of 100 HP.
• Target System:
  • Each target has a health value and reacts dynamically to hits:
    • First hit changes the target’s color.
    • Second hit destroys the target.
  • A counter tracks the number of targets destroyed.

Level Progression

• Dynamic Unlocking: Destroying at least 1 target unlocks previously restricted teleport areas. After 3 targets, additional features unlock.
• Win Condition: After all targets are destroyed:
  • In non-final levels, the game proceeds to the next level.
  • In the final level, the game displays a You Win! message and returns to the main menu.

How to Play

1. Movement (VR):
   • Use VR controller’s teleportation mechanics to navigate the environment.
2. Shooting:
   • Use the trigger button to shoot targets.
   • Monitor the ammo count displayed above your pistol.
3. Reloading Ammo:
   • Press the reload button to replenish ammo. A delay occurs before reloading is complete.
4. Target Interaction:
   • Aim at targets and fire. Targets require two hits to be destroyed.
5. Level Navigation:
   • Clear all targets in a level to progress to the next or return to the main menu.

Game Flow

1. Main Menu:
   • Select Start Game to begin.
2. Level 1:
   • Destroy all targets to unlock the no-teleport area and proceed to the next level.
3. Level 2:
   • Destroy all targets to win the game. A You Win! message is displayed, and the main menu is loaded.

Technical Implementation

• Pistol Blueprint:
  • Integrated spatial UI to track ammo.
  • Delayed reload functionality with audio feedback.
