This section addresses common questions about customizing and modifying the CrowdRunner project.

1. Q: How can I change the maximum number of followers the player can have?

A: The maximum number of followers is primarily controlled by a variable within the BP_MultiplierSegment, which is used when clamping the result of math operations.

• Location: Open BP_MultiplierSegment.
• Function: ApplyOperation.
• Node: Find the Clamp (Integer) node.
• Action: Adjust the Max input pin of this Clamp (Integer) node. You likely have a variable like MaxFollowers or MaxPlayerCrowdSize connected here, or a literal value. Change this variable's default value or the literal value.
• Note: Also ensure that any logic in BP_Crowd_Player that might also limit spawning (e.g., in UpdateFollowerCount) respects this new maximum if it has its own cap. Typically, the TargetFollowerCount set by the segment should be the definitive value.

2. Q: How do I change the player's movement speed (normal and during battle)?

A: Player movement speed is controlled by the Max Walk Speed property of the CharacterMovementComponent within BP_Crowd_Player.

• Normal Speed:
  • Location: Open BP_Crowd_Player.
  • Event: Event ExitBattleState.
  • Action: Find the SET Max Walk Speed node (Target: CharacterMovement). The value connected here (e.g., 1500.0) is the player's normal running speed. Adjust this value.
• Battle Speed (Slower):
  • Location: Open BP_Crowd_Player.
  • Event: Event EnterBattleState.
  • Action: Find the SET Max Walk Speed node that's likely connected to a Clamp (float) node. Adjust the Min and Max values of this Clamp (e.g., currently 200.0 to 300.0) to define the slower speed range during combat.
• Initial Speed (Optional): You might also have a default Max Walk Speed set on the CharacterMovementComponent itself (in Class Defaults or Components panel). The ExitBattleState logic likely overrides this for consistency.

3. Q: How can I add new types of level segments (e.g., a new obstacle segment)?

1. Create a Child Blueprint: Right-click on BP_BaseGroundSegment in the Content Browser and select "Create Child Blueprint Class."
2. Name it: e.g., BP_ObstacleSegment.
3. Add Logic: Open your new BP_ObstacleSegment and add any specific meshes, collision, and Blueprint logic unique to this segment type (e.g., spawning obstacles, a new type of trigger). It will inherit the ground and basic segment-spawning trigger from BP_BaseGroundSegment.
