Maybe the string "Parent->SetActorLocation(FMath::Lerp(StartLocation, TargetLocation, TimeElapsed / LerpDuration));" should be in such kind "Parent->SetActorLocation(FMath::Lerp(StartLocation, StartLocation + TargetLocation, TimeElapsed / LerpDuration));" cause you use for actor global coordinates, but target vector you set in relative to scenecomponent coordinates... And thank you very mush for your tutorials.
I'm currently using this exact method to lerp a weapon back and forth from hipfire stance to aiming stance and vice versa, but for some reason the lerp doesn't always arrive perfectly at the destination vector? Is there anything you can suggest to remedy this? Also brilliant tutorial. The quality is on the level of a paid course.
Not to worry, all fixed! If anybody else has this issue, I suggest limiting FPS in Settings->Project Settings->Engine->General Settings->Framerate, the issue is caused by a fluctuating DeltaTime value.
Hey, thank you. Lerps don't usually offer precision results as you've discovered. As long as the difference between the end location and destination, a common solution is very simple. When the lerp has complete, simply set Actor.Location = Destination. This will make it jump exactly to where you'd intended it to finish but obviously will look a bit glitchy if the difference is too large at the end of the lerp
Get my new UE4 Beginners course: devenabled.teachable.com/p/intro-to-ue4/
There is not enough c++ tutorials for Unreal Engine. A paid course would be incredible but these videos are gems to. Please keep them coming.
excellent stuff, this solved a problem I was stuck on all day. was doing it the wrong way as you mentioned at the start
Started going through all your videos, all I can say is you've made life so much easier. Thank you.

Great video thanks! I have one question, do you use plugins for BP lines? They look very smooth

When I do this the setactor fires and moves the character instantly and then after that the time elapsed float starts to increment.
Too many lerpers these days... I meant ...larpers.
Hmmm, lerp, lerping... Larping Simulator...
@@DevEnabled Slurping, maybe?
