Скачать или смотреть UE5 Blueprints: Melee Hit Windows & Ragdoll

Quick heads up: this build expands on my Wandering AI and Basic Melee Combat tutorials.
If you don’t already have those set up, grab them from the pinned comment before continuing.

Build precise melee hit detection that actually connects and knocks NPCs out on impact. This tutorial expands an existing melee combat system by adding animation-driven hit windows, real-time traces, and instant ragdoll knockouts.

You’ll learn:
• How to create an AnimNotifyState hit window
• Using Notify Tick for frame-perfect melee detection
• Sphere tracing from a hand socket for accurate hits
• Triggering NPC ragdoll physics with impulse knockback

By the end, you’ll have melee attacks that reliably register hits and drop NPCs into ragdoll the moment they’re struck.
