Welcome back once again everyone well in this series of videos, we are going to take advantage of the fact that we have a black magic menu built out. And what we're going to do is we're going to build out our white magic selection menu. Now you may be saying, why are we doing that yet, we still haven't hooked up functional white magic skills such as transforming into mist and using our Lens of Truth. But with our black magic menu already created, I thought it would be easier to create this first, let me just show you what this is all going to look like when it is finished. So I'm currently in an older version of this project that I made in preparation for this course. Let me just jump in and play here.

I'm going to gather up a few of my white magic skills here, the mist and the Lens of Truth. And eventually we're going to bind this to a given key, the left bumper as well as one of the options Ctrl keys on the keyboard. And our white magic menu is going to look and function very much the same. Now the good news here is that we are going to be able to cheat by doing a lot of copying and pasting and swapping out some variables, that kind of thing. Just note the position of these various skills on this screen because we're going to note too, that as we go forward in terms of Lens of Truth is going to go where fireball was on the black magic menu and Miss is going to live where electro spark was on the black magic menu, etc. Because we're going to be doing a whole lot of switcheroos here.

Let me jump out of here, exit out of this project and go into our current version of the project. And the first thing we're going to do is come under content Metroidvania. And I just closed on my folders, awesome Metroidvania widgets, and where we've got our w BP BP magic menu. Let's go ahead And right click on this and we are going to duplicate this. Let's call it w BP w magic for white magic menu. That is simple enough.

And with that, let's go ahead and double click on that to open it up. Gonna dock it across the top here, let me exit out of some tabs. And now all I want to do in this one is simply rename a whole bunch of widgets over in our hierarchy just to make things more clear. I'm just gonna zoom to fit to get this screen a little bit bigger, etc. Our menu name, select that right there, and I'm going to rename this to white magic right now. It's menu name, black magic.

So with that selected over in the Details panel, changes to the white magic so that eventually that is going to be titled white magic then Let's come under where we've got the be magic Grid Panel. And we're going to rename this to hitting f2 on it. W magic Grid Panel. Again, this is all going to be for clarity sake. And then down below we've got our electro spark overlay with a lot of electro spark named things and then a fireball overlay, bloodless Overlay and arctic blast overlay. We're gonna name these thusly, all of our electro spark ones I'm gonna hit f2 on each of these is going to be transformed to a mist.

So hitting f2 overall, these essentially replace the word electrical spark with Miss. And I think you get the point here. I'm just gonna do this for one Group and then I will pause the video show you what I have so that you can make sure that you have the same Okay, so for this first group here I renamed everything here from electro spark to mist again that's gonna be for clarity sake moving forward with our whole fireball section. Let me just do the first one for each of these and then I'll pause the video anything that's fireball is going to be called lens will actually let's just call it lens instead of Lens of Truth that'll be shorter right. So change the the word fireball here with the word lens. For bloodlust, we're going to hit f2.

On that we're going to change the name of this to be shield. So down below, change the name of bloodlust to shield for all these and then for arctic blast, I'm going to hit f2 on this. All the Arctic blasts are going to be renamed time slow Okay, so I'm gonna pause the video here, rename these Asli and then we'll be back in just a moment. Okay, and we are back. Now if you look over in our hierarchy, just make sure that you've got this first grouping, all with the word missed in front second grouping with lens, third grouping, third overlay with shield and the fourth grouping here all with time slow. And if you'll note over in the Graph tab, if I come under the My Blueprint panel and come under variables, everything over here that was once fireball image fireball Manta cos fireball name is now lens and you can see these other variable names have been renamed as well over here.

So that's good to know. Something else is going to save us some time for the next video is you'll notice all of our function names here to still have all of the black magic names on them. So let's go ahead and swap those out as well. Again, the process is going to be anything with electrical spark hitting f2 on that we're going to swap out with missed. And I think we should be able to do this on camera so electro spark missed electrical spark missed, bloodlust was swapped out with shield. So set bloodless image that's gonna be shield and you know if I just copy the word shield right here by highlighting it Ctrl C, it'll make this a little bit faster f2 on this, let's highlight bloodlust Ctrl V to get shield in there, if to where it says blood loss Control V. And where it says fireball we're going to rename that to be lens so f2 replace the word fire ball those two L's with the capital I'll make it kind of hard to make sure you get that accurate.

So again, we're just renaming some functions here. Just to make it more clear going forward. And then where it says arctic blast, we're going to rename those to be time slow. arctic blast, time slow. And I'll do the copy paste here as well. Let's highlight that Ctrl C to copy hitting f2 on that to rename it.

So even though this is a little time consuming, it's going to save us time by doing so much switcheroo work instead of recreating all this from scratch. And you can see over in my Event Graph right now I've got things labeled as like fireball selected electro sparks like that. Again, it's all black magic. named. Let's just rename these comment boxes. You can see my fireball selected now has lens selected as variable names.

So let's just rename our combat comment boxes here to lens selected Lens of Truth. electro spark was all renamed to mist. So let's rename that missed. bloodlust was all renamed to shield and arctic blast was all renamed to time, slow. Okay, one more thing to rename and hopefully we didn't miss anything here back in our Designer tab. We've got this animation called a B magic menu intro.

Let's just simply highlight this. Hit up to on that and call it w magic menu intro. Alright, I think I think Fingers crossed. We got it. thing. Let's go ahead and save here guys that is going to do it all for this one.

We'll see you in the next one.
