Instance Damage System v2.0 for Unreal Engine 5

The Instance Damage System v2.0, a plugin by developer Adi for Unreal Engine 5, allows you to add damage and interaction to instanced static meshes. It makes it easy to implement systems where damaged instances are replaced, trigger physics simulations, or respawn over time.

Ideal for Open-World Games

The Instance Damage System is the perfect solution for interacting with instanced static meshes in an open-world setting. It's ideal for GTA-style destruction, props that respawn, or resource-gathering games.

Key Features​

  • Register Any Static Mesh Component as a Proxy: Primarily for Instanced Static Mesh Components (ISMC), but can be extended to other object classes via C++.
  • Per-Asset Damage Settings: Define specific damage behaviors for each Static Mesh used as a proxy.
    • Spawn Destruction Meshes: Replace damaged instances with destructible mesh versions.
  • Toggle Instance Visibility: Hide and show proxy instances as needed.
  • Distance-Based Respawning: Automatically respawn instances over time based on their distance from the player.
  • Object Pooling: Reuse generated destruction meshes to improve performance.
  • World Partition Support: Toggle instance visibility even when the proxy is not present in the level.
  • Custom Data: Assign custom data like "XP" or "money" to each damage asset.
  • Network Support (3 Modes):
    • Client Authoritative: Client spawns the destruction mesh, and the server notifies other clients.
    • Client Replicated: Destruction meshes are spawned on the client via replication.
    • Server: The server manages and replicates the destruction actor.
  • Save/Load Proxy Visibility State.
  • Easy Setup from Data Tables.
  • Blueprint Ready: Easily scriptable throughout your project.
  • C++ Extensible: Add new features or override default behaviors using subsystems and virtual functions.
  • Includes Sample Projects:
    • Chaos Minigame: Saints Row "Mayhem"-style gameplay.
    • Destruction Minigame: Destroy randomly selected meshes.
    • Wanted Level Example: Increase a "wanted" level based on the amount of destruction.
