Highly Customizable Scanning System

I made this highly customizable scanning system so you can recreate almost any game's scanning mode. Scanning System | Beginner Friendly | Simple To Use | Expandable Blueprints with Comments and Commented Variables.

This plug-in can be installed either at the start of the new project or to an already existing project. You can also use my example project, which consists of the GYM (link to the video), Third Person Character and Game Mode.

Scanning System

I made this highly customizable scanning system so you can recreate almost any game's scanning mode. This system is designed to provide an immersive gaming experience by allowing you to scan the game environment in real-time. With its flexibility and adaptability, you can tailor the scanning mode to your preferences and play style. You can create an infinite number of unique scanning modes by customizing the variables and/or the looks of the highlights.

The project consists of a blueprint component that includes:

• 4 highly customizable options for object highlighting
• 4 highly customizable scanning effects.
• One of the highlighting effects is made using a translucent material overlay (no custom depth or post processing volume is needed).
• A unique feature is available: the focus scan effect, which improves readability by highlighting only the outline of the objects, which is particularly important for your game's accessibility.

Functionality is accessible in detail at the Gym level.

100% built with blueprints, very easy to expand upon.
