Ascent Combat Framework (ACF) is a multi-modules C++ Plugin that provides an extendable and easy to use framework to build your very own Action RPG in a very short amount of time. It features everything you'd need to design and create a state-of-the-art fluid Ranged and/or Melee Combat System and supports networking.
It has all the power of a professional, production ready C++ tool combined with the ease of a blueprint template, thanks to a full blueprint sample project that showcase all the functionalities.

FAQs
Why is different?
Its modular and generic architecture will let you create your very own gameplay avoiding that "garbage asset flipper" feel that most of the indie game have when made with pre-made assets. ACF gives the ability to the developer to shape his vision and build a polished and unique game experience.
Why should I pefer a ACF over a blueprint template ?
X - When you work with a blueprint template you often need to modify other's people blueprints to adapt them to your vision. This results in a chaotic and unpredictable workflow in which at every update of the template you get your modifications overridden and you risk to lose all your hard work. In addicion, forcibly adding code to other people's architecture will probably result in a chaotic and bug-prone code architecture that will make the development slower and frustrating.
V - With a C++ plugin you DO NOT NEED to touch it's code at all, but you can work on top of ACF by extending it's functionalities and using it's modules. This will results in a perfectly decoupled codebase that can grow in size while maintaining a SOLID and reliable architecture that will scale without issues. Moreover the plugin is installed in the engine meaning that at every update your code remains untouched, resulting in a safe and reliable workflow. Organizing the codebase in "independent layers" is the most common way to work in the AAA industry because allows to re-use common logics in different projects speeding up signficantly the production process.
Do I need to know C++ to work with ACF?
Absolutely not. You are not supposed to touch the C++ code at all. ACF is built as an engine inside an engine so that you
can work on top of it in Blueprints-only projects.
Everything is exposed to blueprint to be expandable without coding, so you'll have all the power of a professional C++ Gameplay without touching a single line of code.
Note: this requires at least some basic blueprint/unreal knowledge!

常见问题
为何与众不同？
它的模块化和通用架构可让您创建自己的游戏玩法，避免大多数独立游戏在使用预制资产时产生的 "垃圾资产翻转器 "的感觉。ACF 让开发者有能力塑造自己的愿景，打造出精良独特的游戏体验。
为什么要选择 ACF 而不是蓝图模板？
X - 使用蓝图模板时，您往往需要修改他人的蓝图，使其符合您的设想。这将导致工作流程混乱且不可预测，每次更新模板时，你的修改都会被覆盖，从而有可能丢失所有辛勤工作。此外，强行将代码添加到他人的架构中很可能会导致代码架构混乱且容易出错，从而使开发速度变慢并令人沮丧。
V - 对于 C++ 插件，您根本不需要接触其代码，但您可以通过扩展其功能和使用其模块在 ACF 的基础上工作。这将产生一个完美解耦的代码库，在保持稳固可靠的架构的同时，还能扩大规模。此外，插件安装在引擎中，这意味着每次更新都不会触动代码，从而实现安全可靠的工作流程。以 "独立层 "组织代码库是 AAA 行业最常见的工作方式，因为这样可以在不同项目中重复使用通用逻辑，大大加快制作流程。
使用 ACF 需要懂 C++ 吗？
绝对不需要。您完全不需要接触 C++ 代码。ACF 是作为引擎中的引擎而构建的，因此您可以
这样您就可以在蓝图项目中使用它。
所有内容都暴露在蓝图中，无需编码即可扩展，因此您无需接触任何一行代码就能获得专业 C++ 游戏玩法的所有功能。
注意：这至少需要一些基本的蓝图/虚幻知识！
