## ArmyOfOne

In this exercise, you will learn to create a complex player movement from scratch. The character you will use is Countess from the game Paragon. She's nice after you know her, just give her a chance.

### Objectives

For this project you will implement a fully playable character using what we call Animation Blueprint, Aim Offset and PlayerCharacter Blueprint.

### Instructions

Starting from an empty project, after creating a level with a floor (nothing else is really required), you should:

- create a Third Player Character Blueprint and apply the Countess mesh to it.

  - give the character the ability to:

    - move forward, backward, left and right using the WASD keys.
    - look around and change direction using the mouse.
    - jump using Space.
    - attack using the left mouse click.

- create an animation blueprint file to animate the character so she can be animated while running, jumping, attacking, etc...

- implement the Aim Offset, so that when the player moves the mouse, the head of Countess follow the direction we’re looking at, in a 180-degree angle.

- separate the upper and lower body part, so that the character is able to walk and attack at the same time without any animation problems.

- make Countess lean according to the mouse direction, while running forward.

- use Animation Blendspace to organize your movements.

- use Animation Blueprint variables to handle different animation states.
