Starting the Player HUD + Helmet Vision Effect – UE5 C++ Survival Game Ep 163

🧭 In Episode 163 of the UE5 C++ Survival Game series, we begin creating the **main player HUD** and add a stylish **screen-masking effect** for helmets that limit visibility. This episode lays the foundation for the player interface and shows how to blend gameplay logic with immersive visuals.

🎯 What You’ll Learn in EP 163:
- Setting up the Player HUD in C++
- Adding UI widgets using UMG
- Implementing a screen overlay or vignette effect
- Triggering visual masks when wearing a vision-blocking helmet
- Managing dynamic HUD updates

💡 Why it’s important: The HUD is the player’s window into the world — and adding visual feedback for armor or helmets enhances immersion and realism. This step connects the equipment system with your user interface layer.

🛠️ Tools & Concepts Used:
- Unreal Engine 5.6
- C++ + UMG (User Interface Widgets)
- Player controller and HUD setup
- Material and post-processing for UI overlays
