NEW FEATURES:
Air Jump and Dash - New abilities! You can now air jump (double jump / triple jump) with customizable number of times and impulse. You can also manually slide with customizable speed and duration!
Grapple System - Shoot grapple and swing freely, or pull yourself to object (think Attack on Titan or Bionic Commando for those old timers like myself lol)
Power Ups - You can now easily add permanent or temporary abilities to your character. Includes UMG widgets for both cases.
Dynamic Camera - Took some tips from a GDC presentation on the camera system in Journey. The camera now adjusts FOV and boom arm length based on pitch. Also there is an offset while the character is standing still (rule of thirds). While sprinting the camera pulls back (seen in many games).
Multiple character Select - Added 3 characters (children of master character BP) to demonstrate how easy it is to change abilities. You can switch characters at any time with a key and each character has certain stats / abilities (one is strong but slow, another is weak but fast). I included a UMG widget with the character name and portrait. As well as an easy alert system. Due to the nature of the Character C++ class, I am restricting the switch only when the characters are idle.
True Portal System - Similar to the game Portal, now you have a portal that shows the content of the destination. Easily create as many portals as you want. Teleports player only from one side.
Ladder System - You can now go up and down ladders. Ladder has customizable stats (height, width, number of steps). Ladders can be single or double sided.
Endless Runner Mode - New mode added where the character is running endlessly. There are "boosts" that speed up or slow down the character. The purpose is to have a section in the game where you can force a chase scene or obstacle course.
