Triggering Flight: This Blueprint segment demonstrates switching between Flying and Walking modes. When the player quickly presses the Spacebar twice, Flying mode activates. The player can similarly cancel out of this by pressing the Spacebar twice again. This Blueprint also handles activating and deactivating the two Niagara systems for VFX, pictured on the right.
Show/Hide UI for Planet Name: This Blueprint segment shows and hides UI based on whether the player is within the Planet's trigger volume. If true, the UI shows to the player. If false, the UI is hidden.
Planet Starting Behavior - Sets up UI and Movement: This Blueprint segment sets up the Planet UI. It retrieves the Planet's Widget component and casts it to the Planet UI type to retrieve the text component. Once the text is retrieved, it is set to the Planet's Name. Lastly, the Planet starts moving around its Spline.
