Animator Controllers

Tactical Shooter Pack uses magazines as standalone skeletal meshes, which have spring, mag follower and cartridges properly animated. Magazines are added directly to the weapon mesh, they are then assigned an Animator Controller: These controllers only contain a mag animation, which is played based on how much ammo is left: The MagProgress float property is updated by the Mag Animator component, which accesses the current weapon ammo capacity.

​
Mag Animator

This component tries to get the current weapon’s ammo capacity to compute the MagProgress value. To display the animation correctly, it’s important to adjust these properties:
  • Mag Capacity: max ammo for this magazine.
  • Time Step: how much time in seconds it takes to play a single bullet.
  • Interp Speed: smoothing speed for mag progress.
  • Mag Progress: if set to 0, the first frame will be used, if 1 - the last one; this property is dynamically updated at runtime.
