MVP (Minimum Viable Product) Series showing how to create the basic prototype for a FPS (First Person Shooter) from scratch in Unreal Engine 4. In Part 8 we will be creating a custom material for the Targets to show them Green when they are full health and changing in color to Red when they are out of health. We will also be adjusting the Crosshair material so we can see thru the parts that are black instead of having them be solid and blocking our view.
