Project Starfire

Custom ADS System that centers the crosshair in screenspace while still physically being on the weapon sight

An ADS system was designed using Procedural Animation, allowing for smoother transitions between aiming and idle states.

Material logic for calculating Screen Aligned UVs to center the crosshair at all times.

The crosshair remains at the center of the screen regardless of sight rotation, enhancing aim accuracy while keeping it independent from weapon animations like recoil.

Procedural ADS

The animations rely heavily on procedural methods, using only idle and sprint (excluding montages). This reduces the need for additional animations and allows for better adaptation to player input.

First Person Animation

This layered state machine allows the player to be in multiple states simultaneously, each with its own priority and set of features. When a higher-priority state shares a feature with a lower-priority one, the higher-priority version takes precedence. For instance, the system can disable sprinting while the player is aiming, yet allow it in other states where reloading is permitted.

The code for the Hierarchical State Machine (HSM) is available on GitHub - check it out <link href="https://github.com/ralialiloma/starfire/tree/main/Starfire/Source/Starfire/Shared/HSM" target="_blank">here</link>.
