This project helped me understand the elements required to create a ride from start to end from what the ride structure and mechanics are to determining the optial ride capacity and queue management to maximize ride efficiently and finally building the ride in Unreal Engine 5.2 using blueprints and sequencing and testing it on a ride simulator machine with MAX MSP.

The hardest part was figuring out how SVN could update through unreal engine automatically using source control. For the randomisation one solution we came up with is that, we could create 4 different paths, pre-mapped and keyframed. The reason we thought this could be a potential solution is that we can use follow this path in the blueprint: Event BeginPlay → Select Random Path → Load Sequence. Another solution we came up with is using variable seeds (the seed being a sequence) to load/trigger on Event BeginPlay.

Through multiple rounds if trial and error we decided the. second solution was the best way to proceed ahead, however one thing we couldn't figure out is how to avoid playing the same sequence twice even if in the code we had specified that shouldn't happen by specifying if played once, don't play again but this didn't end up working and is something to work on for the future along with introducing more worlds for the rides.
