My goal?
After creating the archery system for Aron's Adventure I received a lot of questions from people that wanted a system like that for the marketplace. My goal with this pack was to deliver an easy to use bow master Blueprint. I want people to make a child actor and then just change settings until they reach the settings they are happy with. I hope this gets to deliver. This system is 100% made in Blueprints and is easy to read and expand upon.
Settings:
- Instant fire or draw?
- Always aim, Toggle aim or hold to aim?
- Quiver, no quiver, or quiver but ignore the animations?
- What UI?
- Controller aim assist?
- Slow motion for aiming or slow motion for drawing?
- What camera effects should happen at different stages?
- Max range, damage, etc.
These are some of the questions you can answer by changing some bools and floats around. You can get vastly different results with just a few clicks of your mouse.
For the best overview of what's included in the pack I strongly recommend to check out the links above.

Important/Additional Notes: This pack would not have been possible without EPIC games releasing the paragon assets for free! The sparrow animations make up a majority of the animations used in this pack and I'm really grateful that these were released!
