Exploding Barrels in Unreal Engine 4

This is made in Spring 2016 at Academy of Art University. This was the semester when I first started using the Unreal Engine 4 (and the visual blueprint). I bought a "how to Unreal" book because I kind of thrown into it.

One of my teachers really wanted to see if I can make exploding barrels in the engine. I set up a practice project as testing ground for the step-by-step in the book and for scripting the barrel.

I spent a few weeks trying to perfect the explosion, and I got it eventually by heavy research and critical thinking. There might be some haphazard (AKA not industry standard) scripting in the blueprint itself.

[Note: I never got around to finishing the health or stamina bar from the step-by-step, so it's not meant to be functional].
