Welcome to the Damage Indicator Pro wiki!
This Damage Indicator System is designed to clearly and efficiently display the direction from which damage is received in Unreal Engine projects.
The system is built with owning-client safety, low performance overhead, and extensible architecture in mind. It can be safely used in both single-player and multiplayer games.
Lightweight, modular, optimized — perfect for any UE project.
