Move Mouse with Controller
This is based off the first-person template's looking around with controller Blueprint. I had to multiply everything by 10 so when I truncated, the variables wouldn't be 0.
I also clamped the mouse to the screen size.

90 Degree Turning
I investigated how to turn the player around in 90-degree intervals. I changed the axis mapping of turning to an action mapping and it worked.

Movement Effects Damage
It is designed so that, if the player continually moves forward, the damage increases to 5, but, if the player moves backwards, the damage output decreases to 0.1 (as reducing to 0 was too harsh). If the player remains stationary, the damage returns to an average of 1.

Shooting Gun Fully Automatic
The shooting from mouse cursor was initially based off this tutorial, which I later developed. I have designed it so it checks if the gun has overheated. It also calls the gunshake. Finally I cast to see which object I have hit, either an enemy, health box or a button type.

Gun Overheat
The gun cools down naturally when not shooting. It also cools down when you artifically reload (but quicker than naturally). As you fire the gun, it begins to warm up and overheat. When it overheats, the player can’t shoot and it slowly returns to normal.

Gun Points at Cursor Work Around
Within the timescale of my project, I was unable to find a perfect solution to get the gun to point at the cursor. However, this is a work-around. I divided the screen into a grid, and if the cursor is within a grid square, it changes the rotation on the gun, mimicking it facing the cursor.
