Gameplay:

For this projects I wanted to work with Unreals C++ systems, during my school carreer a lot of multidisciplinary projects Unreal engine had been the prefered engine of choice. This meant that I was primarly worked using Unreals blueprinting system. So for this project I wanted to focus more on learning how to use C++ in combination of Unreal engine. In result of this I created two seperate systems for design to use.

Hiding Spots
Due to our game being stealth themed there needed to be ways for the player to hide from enemies. For this I created a base class for design to use with C++. This class would be extented from and allowed design to create their own stealth conditions and custom logic for what happens when the player goes into stealth. This was for example used for hiding into tall grass which required the player to crouch before going into stealth mode.

Mantling
A second mechanic was giving the player the ability to mantle ontop of objects. At the start of the project we wanted to give the player an assassins creed like movement system to have them parkour around the level. But after a few weeks of research and prototyping we quickly realised this was way to overscoped for our development time, so we settled for just having the player be able to mantle onto edges. For this I created a component using C++ that could be added to the player that would allow them to climb onto objects marked with a climbable tag.
