Unreal Engine4虚幻游戏引擎是一款商业性的3D游戏开发引擎，是Epic数百位工程师、艺术家以及设计师的心血之作。不过这还只是开始，在C++代码中，你可以看到很多创新之处，比如支持Oculus VR、Linux系统、Valve公司的Steamworks和 Steam Box效果，并且可以使用HTML5在网页浏览器中开发游戏。虚幻引擎4基于DirectX 11，拥有新的材料流水线、蓝图视觉化脚本、直观蓝图调试、内容浏览器、人物动画、Matinee影院级工具集、全新地形和植被、后期处理效果、热重载(Hot Reload)、模拟与沉浸式视角、即时游戏预览、AI人工智能、音频、中间件集成等一系列全新特性。

Unreal Engine虚幻游戏引擎参与制作游戏有：《逃生》、《DMC鬼泣》、《死侍》、《失落的星球3》、《生化奇兵：无限》、《羞辱》、《战争机器：审判》、《杀手已死》、《勿忘我》、《Papa & Yo》、《忍者神龟：脱颖而出》等等。

PACKT PUBLISHING BUILDING AN UNREAL RTS GAME THE BASICS

Learn the Real Time Strategy (RTS) genre, using Unreal Engine 4

About This Video

The Product teaches game play programming techniques by implementing an RTS-style free roaming camera. You will learn how to:

Select non-playable characters (NPCs) through mouse input

Use basic Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Pathfinding to have selected NPCs move around a level

Modify Navigation Mesh (Nav Mesh) data to implement varied and interesting game play.

In Detail

In this course, you will learn about gameplay programming in Unreal Engine 4, using examples from the well-known Real Time Strategy (RTS) genre. You will become familiar with how versatile the structure of the Unreal Engine is, and how it can be used to create many kinds of game. Beginning with implementing an RTS-style free roaming camera from scratch, you will then move on to selecting Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) through mouse input, and using basic Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Pathfinding to have selected NPCs move around a level. Finally, the course will cover how to modify Navigation Mesh (Nav Mesh) Data to provide varied and interesting gameplay.

Then, in Volume 2, you will add a second unit to the game, make a unit attack, create destructible environments, and finally bring everything together with an RTS-style user interface using Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG).

The topics covered in this course will not only form the basis for an RTS game, but will also introduce various concepts that underlie gameplay programming in Unreal Engine 4.
