# Weapon Blueprint Setup
## 1**. Create Weapon Blueprint**
### 1.1 Go to Weapons Folder
* Navigate to:\
`/Game/AVR_Template/Weapons`
### 1.2 Create Child Blueprint
For All Weapons (Except Shotgun)
* Find BP\_GunMaster
* Right-click → Create Child Blueprint Class
For Shotgun
* Find BP\_Gun\_Shotgun
* Right-click → Duplicate
* Rename it based on your weapon
### 1.3 Name Your Weapon
* Give it a clear name based on your weapon
* Example: `BP_AK47`, `BP_M4`, `BP_Pistol_01`
#### **Why This Step Matters**
* **BP\_GunMaster** already contains all core logic
* By creating a child, you inherit:
* Firing system
* Attachments system ( Scope , SIlencer , etc.. )
* Reload logic
* Fire modes
You only need to:
* Assign your mesh
* Adjust settings
***
## **2. Assign Components (Step-by-Step)**
Now open your weapon Blueprint. In the **Components** tab, all required components are already set up. Your job is to **assign the correct meshes and elements one by one**.
Follow this exact order to avoid issues:
***
### **2.1. Base Weapon Mesh (Start Here)**
* Select **WeaponRootMesh**
* Assign your **Base weapon mesh**
This is the **main body of the weapon**, so always start here.
***
### **2.2. Fire Mode**
* Select **FireModeSelector** add mesh (If applicable)
***
### **2.3. Handle & Slide (if applicable)**
Assign meshes based on the type of weapon you are creating:
**Handle**
* Used for: **M4 style rifle & Shotguns**
* Assign your **Handle mesh** here
* Pull Handle , so it also pull its child component **Slider**.
**Slider**
* Used for: **Pistols & AK style Rifle**
* Assign your **Slider mesh** here
#### **Handle vs Slider — Quick Visual Guide**
```
[ M4 Style / Shotgun Setup ]
Handle ✅ (Assign Mesh)
Slider ✅ (Assign Mesh)
Reload → Handle
[ AK Style / Pistol Setup ]
Handle ❌ (EMPTY)
Slider ✅ (Assign Mesh)
Reload → Slider
```
***
### **2.4. Chamber**
* Assign mesh to **ChamberRoundMesh** ( Setup is as below image ) ( set visiblity to False )
***
### **2.5. Muzzle**
* Select **Muzzle** add mesh (If applicable)
***
### **2.6. Trigger**
* Select **Trigger** add mesh ( make sure Trigger Pivot Placed correctly so it will rotate perfectly )
***
## **Important Tips**
* Always start from **Base → then move forward logically**
* Do NOT skip order — many things depend on base alignment
* If something looks wrong:
* Fix transform (Location/Rotation), not logic
* Make sure facing direction is Y ( see attached image as reference ) ( if direction is wrong so chnage pivot rotation)
***
#### **Next Step**
Now mesh setup is complete.
Proceed to:
* **Collision Setup**
These steps ensure your weapon works correctly with interaction, reload behavior.
