Indie Game Dev | Spawning Clones for Drift Magic | Unreal Engine Dev Stream

In this quick DevStream, we tackle spawning shadow duplicates for Drift (Echo) magic in our indie game The Rend—starting simple decoys and pushing to make them attack via messaging. We debug ability granting, collisions, and effects in Blueprints.

We troubleshoot:
🕴️ Duplicating Ruin for Drift setup & naming
🛠️ Spawning GameplayCue actors with sprites/ASC
🔄 Granting melee/range abilities to duplicates
🎮 Broadcasting messages for synced attacks
💥 Fixing delays, casts, and VFX playback

Raw indie dev: Epic wins, fails, and community input in a jammed session—summer schedules!

Patrons, thanks for the support and questions—drives the magic!
