🌲 Hacker Sky Effect in Unreal Engine 5.6 (C++)

✨ A dynamic floating-text effect built in Unreal Engine 5.6 using C++.
Perfect for sci-fi, hacker, or cyberpunk-inspired experiences.

🔧 What It Does

  • Makes each word fall continuously while facing the player camera
  • Recycles words when they fall out of view
  • Supports in-editor ticking for live design previews (no need to press Play)

📁 Files Included

  • AHackerSkyEffect.cpp – actor logic, animation, and recycling
  • AHackerSkyEffect.h – public variables, editor simulation, and configuration

💡 Setup Instructions

  1. Add your own Text3DActorClass blueprint to spawn as 3D text
  2. Assign a glowing or stylized TextMaterial for visual flair
  3. Enable bEnableEffect to preview floating text in real-time while editing
