[@lolaswift111]

you're gifted to teach. Please make the whole fps series

[@UnrealART]

thanks mate , well that`s a lot of work to do but if I find the time, why not

[@thesyndicatea.t.k7528]

i attach the skeletal mesh in the viewport but my character is not doing the animation, instead he is t-posing. And it only lets me pick him. Can you help me with this?

[@UnrealART]

have you downloaded the animations as well?

[@thesyndicatea.t.k7528]

@@UnrealART yeah, just like you showed in the video. I even tried importing them separately (the character and the animations)

[@RadzioKrzylinski]

same problem here

[@assassinhitman]

Did you figure it out

[@giorgiomacaluso6539]

@@assassinhitman hi, don't know if you still need an answer to that, but I just had the same problem. Basically the issue occurs with some skins. If you use the same skin he uses in the video, it will be imported in the correct aiming position

How did you get the visualizer when you selected the player controller icon? At 1:28

[@UnrealART]

you mean the camera view in the corner of the viewport?

[@nathanp.3909]

@@UnrealART yes how did that come up for you? Is there a selection to do that when I click on the player icon, it does not bring that up?

[@UnrealART]

@@nathanp.3909 No I didn't do anything . you should select the character inside the level not in your content browser.
when you select the character it should pop up. you can also open up the blueprint and select the camera it self in the blueprint. just make sure that your character is in the level.

How do i add a reload animation? The parent socket makes it go all weird

[@creativepeople6769]

My weapon after joining became larger and weighs far in the air...

[@UnrealART]

I think it's too close to the camera . adjust the position in your character blueprint and you will be fine

[@ashkanmirzaei2608]

Ty very useful 🎉 can u show How to dynamically reload and run with a gun 😢

[@UnrealART]

that would be a very long tutorial, I have to look into it and see if I can come up with something.

[@RadzioKrzylinski]

i was trying to attach skeletal mesh in viewport but the character is just t posing

[@UnrealART]

have you downloaded and imported the animations as well ?

[@Tahakhan-rg6tp]

Can u make one on bolt action rifles

[@UnrealART]

the process is not that different. but if you want to have specific reload and other animations for it , that's a different story

[@mostafa5863]

on first 3 seconds of your video i realized you're my dadash :)

[@UnrealART]

chakerim 🥂😉

[@АлексМакендонский]

and how to first make your hands free and then take any objects from a stick to a weapon help ?

[@UnrealART]

that needs another tutorial , maybe I make one in the near future 🥂🙏

[@Mohammad_Mahdi_Game_plus]

Perfect 👌
you are Iranian?

[@UnrealART]

Thanks. are dadash

[@bearlyphased]

Why do I only have the idle arm animation when I open up this window? I dont have the arms that look like hes holding a weapon

[@UnrealART]

you have to import the animations from mixamo as explained in the video

[@Zakkariaha]

How do you parent the gun

[@UnrealART]

using the sockets you can attach the gun to the hands, If I am getting your question correctly

[@LiamMjolhus]

whhen i parrent the mesh it does not go under the mesh. And it does not let me change sockets@@UnrealART

[@LegendJ0e4]

@@UnrealART it also isnt letting me change pockets

[@UnrealART]

I don't know what is causing the problem, I have to look into it

[@youngtylenol]

when u aim up tho it moves the whole character

[@UnrealART]

you can ignore that for now , but if it becomes a serious problem it can be fixed too

[@assassinhitman]

Aim offsets
