Creating a Custom Weapon Blueprint

To create a weapon blueprint for the Weapon System, you need to have a rigged weapon and a weapon data asset ready. Make sure these are set up before proceeding.

Choosing the Right Base Blueprint

Once your assets are ready, you can create a child blueprint based on one of the following:

• Low-Level Functionality:

  • Firearm_BP (for firearms)
  • MeleeWeapon_BP (for melee weapons)

• High-Level Functionality:

  • AssaultRifle_BP or Handgun_BP, found in: 📂 /Game/TPSKit/Blueprints/Core/WeaponSystem/ChildBlueprints/

Important Variables

All weapon blueprints contain two key variables:

• Ammo Data – Manages ammo count and extra clips.
• Weapon Data – Very important! This is used to set the weapon's data asset, which defines all properties related to the weapon.

Assigning the Weapon Data Asset

1. Create the blueprint based on a master blueprint.
2. Assign the weapon data asset inside the Weapon Data variable.
