2. Enable these plugins:
  - Landscape
  - Procedural Mesh Component
  - Niagara
  - Chaos Physics
3. Restart Editor when prompted

Step 3: Core Systems Setup

Player Controller

Create BP_PlayerController with:
- Input mappings for skiing
- Camera shake logic
- Inventory management

Character Setup

BP_Character with:
- Custom movement component
- Health/Stamina system
- Weapon socketing

Core Mechanics Implementation

Key systems that make FrostCraft unique

Skiing Physics System

Movement Component

  • Extend CharacterMovementComponent
  • Implement slope detection and angle calculation
  • Add velocity-based friction coefficients
  • Create carving physics for turning
  • Implement jump/air control mechanics
// Sample skiing physics snippet
void USkiMovementComponent::PhysCustom(float deltaTime, int32 Iterations)
{
  // Calculate slope angle
  float SlopeAngle = FMath::RadiansToDegrees(FMath::Acos(HitResult.Normal.Z));
  
  // Apply downhill force
  FVector DownhillForce = -HitResult.Normal;
  DownhillForce.Z = 0;
  Velocity += DownhillForce * (SlopeAngle * GravityScale * deltaTime);
}

Crafting & Inventory

Key Components

  • Data-driven recipe system (DataAssets)
  • Grid-based inventory with drag/drop
  • Quick-access weapon wheel
  • Resource gathering mechanics
  • Modular building system
// Recipe data structure example
USTRUCT(BlueprintType)
struct FCraftingRecipe
{
  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
  TMap<FName, int32> RequiredItems;
  
  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
  TSubclassOf<AActor> ResultItem;
  
  UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere)
  float CraftingTime = 3.0f;
};
