In this project I explored working with a mix of Blueprints and C++.
Mirror
The mirror is detecting if the character is overlapping the “box collision”, and allowing input in case it is overlapping.
By pressing keys R and T, the mirror rotates (starting an animation, a timeline)
Mirror Manager
This blueprint creates an array of mirrors, and checks the indexes of the mirror blueprints. This is an anti-cheating function, so the player does not go to the end of the puzzle and wins without playing.
Toggle Light
This blueprint checks if the mirror box collider collides with the box collider of the spotlights, if so, spotlights turn on the light.
Cone Light
This blueprint creates an effect of a “beam”. When the mirror box collider hits the ConeLight collider, a cylinder static mesh sets visibility to “true” and creates the illusion of a beam light indicating which mirror is next. This was a requirement that we added after the playtest, since the playtesters did not know exactly how to play the puzzle game.
