Modular Limb Damage System

Modular Limb Damage System (MLDS) is a C++-driven Unreal Engine 5 plugin designed to provide runtime limb damage, easy configurable break and destroy events and physics-driven limb detachment in a clean, extensible way.

Built with performance, and modularity in mind, MLDS allows developers to integrate advanced limb damage mechanics without rewriting core gameplay or animation logic.

🔧 Core Features

• Bone-based limb damage

  • Apply damage to individual bones or limb hierarchies

  • Configurable health per limb

  • Supports partial or full limb destruction

• Runtime dismemberment

  • Detach limbs dynamically at runtime

  • Automatic bone hierarchy traversal

  • Clean separation between intact and detached meshes

• Multiplayer-ready architecture

  • Server-authoritative logic

  • Replication-safe limb detachment

  • Designed for networked games from the ground up

• C++ plugin with Blueprint access

  • Core logic written in C++

  • Blueprint-friendly components and events

  • Easy to extend or integrate into existing systems

🧩 Modular Design

MLDS is intentionally not a monolithic system.
You can use only what you need:

• Limb mesh component

• Limb damage component

• Detached limb actor

• Editor helpers (optional)

• Can easily be used with additional plugins

This makes it suitable for:

• Shooters

• Melee Games

• Horror games

• Gore systems

• Simulation-heavy projects

• Research or study projects
