Mission Debrief Pipeline

Mission Debrief Pipeline is a UE 5.8 C++ gameplay systems demo focused on after-action review, runtime event processing, interactive review stations, and report-style mission feedback. The project presents a compact outdoor review deck where the player imports mission events, traces the event timeline, reviews a warning, and generates a final debrief card.

• Status: Playable debrief pipeline demo complete
• Engine: Unreal Engine 5.8
• Language: C++
• Focus: Mission event processing, debrief UI, runtime reporting, reusable plugin integration, station-based interaction

IMPORT LOG	TRACE TIMELINE

REVIEW WARNING	GENERATED REPORT

Demo Flow

Open the project, press Play, and complete the review sequence:

1. Walk to IMPORT LOG and press E to ingest mission runtime events.
2. Move to TRACE TIMELINE and press E to rebuild the objective sequence.
3. Move to REVIEW WARNING and press E to classify the response-delay warning.
4. Move to GENERATE REPORT and press E to produce the final debrief card.
5. Press R to replay the review sequence.

The HUD shows the active marker, player instruction, debrief progress, event count, warning count, report status, and review log.

Engineering Highlights

• Runtime event intake: Consumes event records produced by the reusable MissionScenarioRuntime plugin.
• Debrief state model: Converts raw mission events into objective progress, warning counts, and final report status.
• Station-based interaction: Separate objective station actors handle import, timeline, warning review, and report steps.
• Player-facing review UI: AMissionDebriefHUD keeps the current objective, debrief card, and review log visible during normal Play.
• Code-built review deck: AMissionDebriefReviewActor constructs the outdoor review environment, station path, timeline nodes, and report board in C++.
• Reusable systems architecture: The host project demonstrates a third standalone use of the shared mission runtime plugin.

Key Code

• MissionDebriefReviewActor.cpp: runtime event setup, debrief state transitions, generated scene, review stations, timeline nodes, and report summary.
• MissionDebriefObjectiveStation.cpp: separate station visuals, active/completed states, operator range prompts, and camera-facing labels.
• MissionDebriefPipelineBoard.cpp: board visuals for timeline, warning, and generated report feedback.
• MissionDebriefPlayerController.cpp: E interaction routing, R reset, and review actor updates.
• MissionDebriefPawn.cpp: capsule-style movement and camera behavior.
• MissionDebriefHUD.cpp: current objective panel, debrief card, and review log rendering.
• MissionScenarioInstance.cpp: reusable mission lifecycle and event log runtime.

How to Run

Requirements:

• Unreal Engine 5.8
• Visual Studio 2022 with C++ game development tools
• Git LFS enabled before cloning

Clone:

git lfs install
git clone https://github.com/Zoruahful/MissionDebrief.git

Open:

MissionDebrief.uproject

Build target:

& 'Path\To\UE_5.8\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat' MissionDebriefEditor Win64 Development 'Path\To\MissionDebrief\MissionDebrief.uproject' -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild

Then open /Game/MissionDebriefDemo and press Play.

Scope

This repository is intentionally small. It demonstrates a standalone after-action review pipeline built on reusable mission runtime data, not a full game. The current implementation focuses on clear C++ systems, readable feedback, and a short end-to-end review path that can be inspected in code and played in editor.
