Chrono Recall v1.2.0

This is a polish update for the time-rewind ability, built in Unreal Engine 5.3 with C++ and the Gameplay Ability System. It adds particle effects, sound and a retuned ability.

Platform: Windows 64-bit · Build: Development

What's new since v1.0.0-beta

• Blast effect: a Niagara blast, camera shake and sound at the point where you activate the rewind
• Rewind effects: electric arcs on the character, plus rewind and exit sounds
• Footsteps: sounds on the walk and run animations
• Gameplay Cues: the blast and rewind effects now run as Gameplay Cues, so other players see and hear them in multiplayer
• Slow motion: it now starts at the blast and covers the hold on it. The rewind itself plays at full speed, and the world eases back to normal near the end
• Chromatic aberration: peaks on the blast and fades out over the rewind
• Retuned ability: 0.8 s rewind with a 0.2 s hold, a stronger field-of-view punch, a 120 cm minimum path, and full blast power at 2500 cm
• Blast kills: dummies killed by the blast ragdoll with an impulse and are launched much harder
• Sprint: the sprint speed is now sent to the server, so the server's recorded path matches the client's
• Debug draw: the path trail and the blast radius sphere are now off by default. Enter Chrono.DrawPath 1 in the console to show them

Features

• Chrono Recall (E): rewinds your character along the last 3 seconds of movement
• Departure blast: radius, damage and knockback scale with the length of the rewound path
• Health restore: recovers any health lost during the rewound 3 seconds
• Rewind effects: slow motion, camera effects, afterimages, electric arcs and character glow
• Sound: blast, rewind and exit sounds, and footsteps
• Path trail: speed-coloured trail of the recorded path, toggled with Chrono.DrawPath 0/1 in the console
• Telemetry overlay and health bars
• Training dummies that ragdoll when killed by the blast
• 3-second cooldown; the rewind needs a minimum path length to activate
