ONYX BLADE FRAMEWORK 1.1

Modular Hack & Slash & Action Gameplay Framework for Unreal Engine 5

ONYX Blade Framework 1.1 is a solid, production-ready action gameplay framework built for Unreal Engine 5.4+.
Designed as a true combat and movement core, ONYX provides creators with a clean, extensible foundation for cinematic Hack & Slash, shooter-action hybrids, and advanced traversal systems.

This version introduces a host-based combat state architecture, allowing a single character blueprint to seamlessly switch between multiple combat logics (Hack & Slash, Shooter, First Person, Third Person) while preserving animation stability, responsiveness, and motion consistency.

🔥 What’s New in Version 1.1Advanced Climb & Vault System

A fully integrated climbing and vaulting system powered by Motion Warping, designed for cinematic traversal, parkour-style movement, and environmental interaction.

Combat State Host System

Characters now act as hosts for multiple combat states. You can add, swap, or expand combat styles without breaking animation flow or movement logic.

Hack & Slash + Shooter Systems Included

Both combat styles are fully implemented and ready to use, supporting first-person and third-person perspectives.

Motion Warping Integration (UE 5.4+)

Stable, animation-accurate warping for vaults, climbs, and contextual actions, designed to remain reliable even when switching combat modes mid-action.
