# Introduction

## BPC\_FPA\_ProceduralAnimation Component

This is the core class for this project. This component performs all FPS procedural related calculations. PoseOffset, Idle, Locomotion, Recoil, Jump, AimSpineWieghts, Lean, Sway, Lag

It provides functions for PoseOffset, Idle, Locomotion, Recoil, Jump, AimSpineWeights, Lean, Sway, and Lag.

### *<mark style="color:red;">Pose Editor</mark>*

<figure><img src="/files/AzOuoQE786qOVnJy7cQA" alt=""><figcaption><p>You can create and modify BASE(IDLE), SPRINT, CROUCH, UNEQUIP, and ADS poses. To create an ADS pose, you must add a SIGHT SOCKET to the weapon.</p></figcaption></figure>

### ADS

### Recoil

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/opi45WAqeznOpkoTilnn" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>You can set the value randomly with a minimum and maximum value.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### Idle

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/i2fzhad53BL6kDgeTXc5" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>You can create IDLE animations with a curve base.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### Locomotion

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/zkPXiXNaPjA2lTXKO61c" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>This too can be animated with a curve base, and additionally adds force to the step timing.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### **Jump, Land, Fall**

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/pIfIiDADDRL3rSFbqF3E" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>You can create animations by adding force when jumping, landing, and in the air.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### **Sway And Lag**

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/a11UYpIA1zqnb6h0WfwA" alt="" width="509"><figcaption><p>Sway is the animation effect when the camera is rotated and Lag is the animation effect when the character is moving.</p></figcaption></figure></div>

### **Aiming**

### Pose Offsets

Base, Sprint, Crouch, Block, Unequip, ADS

## **Animation Blueprint**

We can use the FPS Procedural Animation blueprint Layer by linking it to our Character Animation Blueprint.

## **Character**

BP\_ FPA\_BaseCharacter has basic functionality. BP\_ FPA\_Character\_FullBody inherits from BP\_FPA\_BaseCharacter and has additional FullBody-specific functionality.
