Instance Damage System

A full fledged solution for interaction with Instanced Static Meshes in your open worlds with multiplayer support! Easy scripting in BP's thanks to exposed functionalities. Built with UE5 World Partition system in mind.

Instance Damage System lets you interact with instanced static meshes in an open world fashion!

• Easy setup through data tables
• Exposed to blueprints - easy scripting anywhere within your project
• Example Project utilizing newest UE5 features - World Partition and Chaos Destruction

Features:

• Ability to spawn actors in place of instances
• Hiding/unhiding instanced meshes' instances
• Respawning over time logic depending on the distance from the player
• Pooling system (reuse already spawned objects)*
• Full World Partition support (hide/unhide instances even when the instanced mesh isn't present in the level!)
• Ability to setup custom data per each static mesh asset used by instanced meshes (exp, money, etc.)
• Network Replication
• Save and load instanced meshes' state (hidden/unhidden state)
• Example project with minigames build around the system:

Chaos minigame (recreation of Saints Row's Mayhem activity)

Destruction minigame (destroy a random instance amount of 3 randomly picked meshes)

Wanted Level example (get wanted stars depending on the amount of damage done)

*Disabled on chaos based destructibles in the example project as there's no way to reset a geometry collection to its initial state (at least yet)
