- when GASP meets IK for a breathtaking combat system, this video is a dev-log made for demonstrating game development concepts and not showcasing gameplay features. targeted and suitable for people interested in game development and learning unreal engine.
come say hi - discord here -
/ discord
finally, someone with real talent sharing his work, good job mate that's really impressive
@@fahdalanzi3838 thanks , I appreciate the kind words.
Dude what a clean work!
@@user-ot2ww5hf1n thanks.
This could be a deadpool game
@@DlambewuDaniel nice idea yeah ...
Immortality simulator with gore and a destructible environment sounds like on hell of a sandbox!
Wow!! AAAA gameplay is here
@@RenatoAtaide-so1kg 😂 thanks for the compliment , Glad you enjoyed the video.
@@Crossfarpls give me shoutout
Arms animations look very uncanny, though I think you did a very amazing job in the programming department, making all the weapons ON the character
@@nikz000 I'm certainly glad to see the results were satisfactory.
yeah, people dont move like that. when gun is on the left side of the body and he take it with his right hand by putting hand behind him :D
Having motion captured grab anims selected via chooser and guided via ik to the holster would be ideal i guess
@@krz9000 would be pretty great but think of how many extra anim assets would be added for all the holsters and in a MMO it could really drop the FPS, purely doing things with IK will lower the computing cost drastically. But for a single player definitely agree with you.
@@SAYRESS well normally you would just draw from the same side, but when necessity calls for it people would bend over backwards to grab any weapon they must in a combat situation I think :)) so I didn't want to limit the players choices to Same side drawing only... That's why we have it
you know bro doesn't fuck around when he ain't even connected to the internet he is LOCKED in
@@nyawtism :))
Would love to see more from this project. Great work.
thanks , will try to post more dev logs soon.
wonderful job and that's true i prefer GASP+IK than GASP+ASL
hope to see more adjustments
thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the content. there's a new dev-log coming this week. talking about new features.
Your swords are upside down :D
@@suntzu6122 :)) yeah , it can be changed easily as the video suggests regardless of position or orientation of the holsters the animations will adapt
Since you're a teacher, maybe you can help me out. I don't know if you're familiar with Blender but...
I rigged all my characters with AUTO RIG PRO. Not rigify.
The characters have different elevation of the shoes (no shoes, boots, high heels etc).
I would like to attach and remove the shoes with the rig of the character and animate them.
I don't want to MAKE SEPARATE ANIMATIONS WITH DIFFERENT SHOES.
The concept is like how they doing video games where you can customize your character and give them different clothes and SHOES
Someone said "building and offset layer of Bones above the foot rig an animate those to shift the current rig between shoes."
How do I achieve this?
@@spittingame4241 1- import your character skeletal mesh to blender.
2- model your shoe in a seperate object
3- offset it right so it's correct around your characters feet
4- rig it to your characters skeleton.
5- keep the shoes and skeleton and delete the character mesh.
You got yourself a shoe that can be put on any character while deriving animations from the same Skeleton.
@@Crossfar thank you for the advice and the instructions 😊
that stop in the wall jump kills the pace
@@makxs4818 it's adjustable
@@Crossfar ah, cool, love the modifications you made really looks like a Deadpool game
Very impressive, looks astonishing !!
@@point0947 thank you
Kheli khub! Like the logic behind the combat concept.
thanks for the kind words, stay tuned there's still much more to come, and I'll announce more and more devlogs soon.
اره داداش خیلی خوبه، شما هم بازی ساز هستی؟
This looks smooth af
Thanks glad you liked it
I usually just use a system that loads any necessary weapon animations asynchrously when equipping, before applying the animations to a weapon state machine in the player abp. Works pretty well, can also load an aimoffset to use modularly, the engine handles that all pretty well :P
@@O_Obsidious that's a very valid approach too and tested and proven... Reason I did things this way is lowering the amount of data required to be cached, and also the fact that choice of weapons and holster placement is given to players in my project ( which creates the need for hundreds of animations if using keyframing) so I needed to come up with a system that can handle every situation without any prefab animations.
Oh wait you meant animations for the gun itself? Yeah I'm using the same approach for that too, it synchronizes with my fingers animations on each corresponding hand
Espero ser tan bueno como tú hermano. Realmente siempre he sido team Unreal desde que era chico. En este momento estoy aprendiendo Blender pero en cuanto lo domine seguiré con Unreal. Sigue así hermano saludos desde Colombia.
that's actually amazing brother, please give my best regards to all of Colombia! its a beautiful nation.
i was hoping for this project or a tutorial of how you did this.
hey thanks for letting me know, I'm going to put more emphasis on the code breakdown parts. so stay tuned there's more videos coming very soon.
This is amazing. Especially the IK work. Are you planning on making the project downloadable so we can learn from it?
@@laviathenbaker6614 once the project is fully matured I will make it available for others as well. Perhaps along tutorials.
@Crossfar that would be fantastic! I've watched hundreds of tutorials and have never seen one that discusses using IK for loadouts. Thanks for the reply and I'm glued to my seat looking forward to your release and tutorials
@@Crossfar Really looking forward to this!
Im a beginner here, maybe a stupid question, but may I ask but how do you add the measurement tag on the block? is it added auto or manuly? thank you!
@@motpanda.7555 oh that's just something that comes with GASP, but , it's a 3d text component, that measures the block on event construct and sets it's text .
@@Crossfar thank you♥️
What, is that INSANE THING
@@deotexh glad you liked it and oh btw there's a new update on it coming soon tomorrow. Don't miss it.
I love the the idea 100% ;) But damn animation, in some positions are fu..kd up:) hope the best for a end resualt
@@TimBorggrenDenmark thanks , yes there will be lots of improvement, there has been some already, stay tuned for the next videos are coming soon will demonstrate the changes
Damn bro this looks smoother than GTA V ngl
@@Noizzed :)) thanks
It looks really cool. If you know of any emerging game projects, let me know. I'd like to try composing music for video games.
@@DenoMaister sure come to discord and send me your portfolio perhaps.
you are right about the ALS overlay .... the right /left foot causing some guns holding problems because you have to trick them to not look weird on the GAS left foot guy :)) ....but i still integrate it in my project =)))) ...il do my best to not look weird :D ...btw my guy is really loaded but seeying your guy load i feel like my guy is naked =))))))))))))))))))
:))))) would love to see your work for sure. feel free to reach out in discord.
Looks really good. I’d tweak the arm animations a little bit. Ui looks amazing. Vault jump needs to be a little bit smoother
@@xxspecterxx that's exactly what I was thinking too when I uploaded it
@@Crossfar Im still learning, youre way better than i am!
@@xxspecterxx your ideas are still very valid ... Plus, I was once just learning too... Keep at it
@@Crossfar thanks!!!
Really amazing work! Would play the shit out of this haha
@@darrenhing9906 I'm glad to hear you like it. Thanks for the lovely comment
wow, this is amazing, new sub!!
@@Kreytonchildthanks for the sub... Glad you enjoyed the video
i actually watched half the video, do research on how the Game Thread conflicts with the animation thread and stop using control rig for complex gameplay mechanics apart from that was cool to watch!
@@itzDrizzyyyman well thanks for the input
Destroying the components over and over again? What about memory management and garbage collection? Seems an odd solution. That and some of the equip/unequip looks a bit wonky. And that event graph... Consider components and functions to clean that mess up. How big is the character in memory?
Other than those things, it looks amazing. Are you planning on selling this or just using it internally? How long have you worked on it to get it to this stage, and what do you want to improve or add?
Consider a rewrite in C++ too, it would be a lot more performant. If you disagree, run a dedicated server for 48 hours with 2 active testers on there and then get back to me!
@@gstreetgames2530 3 to 4 weeks so far.
It's not as often as you think , its as often as players perform actions. Like equip. and reload. Definitely worth doing as the variables will be garbage with Values assigned 90% of times otherwise.
I agree on certain frames things still gets jumpy, that's what I meant by making fine tuning to it over next few weeks.
C++ and blueprint are not too far in performance nowadays as opposed to the beginning of UE4. to think of it every BP node is a C++ CODE SNIPPET itself. so in order to keep the workflow fast and scalable it is worth sticking to blueprint nowadays. But that's just my preference, using CPP only for costume nodes and plugins, using BP for the overall gameplay since it can get large and detailed.
I really really appreciate sharing the thoughts like this, please consider to do reach out on discord, would like to meet you for sure.
Do you do classes on IK Animation? Or plan to do videos on it? I am very interested in this technique.
@@blaqueaddonnisgames if you wish to learn I can do private classes. You can learn all the concepts in one session... Contact me on discord and we can set up a class.
Thank you I will contact you when I am free !👍
@@Crossfarvery interested in privates class
I’ll contact u for sure
Thats really cool! Thanks for sharing!
glad you enjoyed the video

How does the movement hold up with network simulation?
@@legenderry25 it holds pretty good with any pings lower than 300 ...
To be honest I personally never worry about higher than that... Because Its no use no matter what you do... Replication will still hold up but the overall experience with 300+ Ms ping will be suffering... Because of irresponsive inputs. But that's a ping nothing can fix. They should contact the ISP not the devs in that case :))
Question about those animations. Is it possible to use them in fps game mode?
Yes it is... But the gameplay system I designed with the 360 aim offset kinda feels better in a TPS system , BUT, there is no reason it shouldn't work in a fps also.
I want this project so bad *-*
@@waldir13 stay tuned in discord and TH-cam channel, I'm going to announce it's release
Very cool movement and animation 😍
Are you going to teach us that in Tetureal?
@@alieditorss Its probably going to need a big series , 10 videos or something... But I might try , if that's something people want
@@Crossfar I think a lot of game developers
They are looking for great animation like this for their games
Nice, its Available for Download ?
Or Tutorials?
@@ajitsinghyadav1725 coming soon
now we will see a thousand copycat of Assassin Cread
@@Zinzinnovich lol good one
Can you do a tutorial on your combat, and holstering system
It will end up being a very long tutorial , this video is from one month ago, and back then it was nearly 4 weeks into development so it's a huge project.
I just think it’s perfect for my game. And I’ve got a good combat system going but this is soooo good. I would pay for a tutorial on this 14:01
@@xRavenousAngelx I appreciate the lovely words of encouragement, yes I think a lot of people want to use it in their projects... I'm going to release the whole project, but be patient cuz I'm working alone on it, in my personal time. and it's going to need a little time. Before it's release ready.
@@xRavenousAngelx after release I will start making videos for each part of the project , like how to add it to your own game, how to add more custom weapons options, it's all made very modular and very easy to expand on
@@xRavenousAngelx but teaching people how to do it on their own step by step is not gonna be easy at all... It's gonna need at least 100 hours of videos, making those tutorials would take a ton of time and only slow down the development severely at this point. So until release I will only update the community on new features.
AC parkour is boring, at least this has angled wall jumps. Kinda felt like we got no running games after mirrors edge 2 despite several having as part of their mechanics, that weren't AC.
@@635574 I know right, I tried my best to make things as inclusive as possible when it comes to performing actions, so it works on almost any angle up to 45 degrees so it's not just straight walls you can jump off. And anything less than 45 is basicly walkable so it will be a normal jump... So with this system you can nearly interact in some way, with any surface regardless of shape or form.
Although it's not as polished as AC is ofcourse. But gameplay wise it feels like you have more control
Hi Crossfar, awesome project. I have a quesion regarding GASP. I have yet to see someone using Motion Maching with theur own custom anim until today. How would I setup a stylized walk cycle and get Motion matching to work asfluidly as with the sample project?
Hi , very good question. its not as complicated and scary as it looks like, the reason most people just use the GASP is that creating costume animations is time consuming perhaps. I would break it down to multiple steps as follows in the next comment.
step 1: create all animations for every state in your walking and running cycle of motions. you would have to include all the transitions as well, a good way to know what is needed is to perhaps take a look at the list of animations in GASP. since it has a very diverse range of all the possible turns and motions that are easy to miss.
step 2: create the chooser tables, which are the data bases of all your motions. which is the tricky part perhaps.
this is where you need to set up your variables that will decide how to filter the database and select the right animation for the moment being.
step 3 , come up with your states. for example crouched walking, standing running , standing walking etc...
step 4, make sure that your variables on the chooser are set properly, and conditions also , otherwise the results can get messy. as the table needs to always pick on outcome at a time. or at least be very good at narrowing down to specific animations.
It feels very clunky to me, I prefer to create a character controller and the animations just work as a visual representation of the controller state, although sometimes it's much more complex.
well no one can deny the old school methods are still applicable and perfectly good too...
motion matching is definitely the next big thing as opposed to state machines that's all... and clunky parts with the IK jitters are fixable , and I figured how to make it less clunky by making IK paths more reliable , which is what I'm doing next...
What have you changed to the camera? I am having so much trouble getting line trace with the way the camera is in a fresh template. Its nowhere near center.
@@EternalRecurrence88 I changed almost everything with the camera slightly... Except the camera component and the spring-arm itself. Even update camera function is changed.
@@Crossfar do you think you could do a video from a fresh GASP and explain how to get a more usable line trace in a few scenarios? Focused and unfocused IA RMB/LB/L2… for interactions while that IA is inactive. I don’t have weapons implemented, but thats my next step. If i’m having problems with the trace from interactions, i’m sure it will be worse with the weapons. Also there are some functions i’m considering changing or removing all together. Mainly the MMB i don’t know the controller IA. Can you also elaborate on changes you have considered making to the GASP or horror stories you’ve might have had making such modifications to you project? How you might/have prevented those things?
hey man i am learning 3d character art and i would love to make my characters jump ,walk run around like this but i dont have any idea were to start or how to learn can you give me a direction of what should i do where should i start? because all i know is this is unreal engine😅
@@vedajsai2978 start by installing unreal engine 5.4, downloading game animation sample project from unreal Market place , and import your 3d models as fbx. Then ask the next questions you might have right here.
Tbh nice!
@@PatrykSzumski-w9j tnx buddy glad you liked it
@@Crossfar I recently started learning how to create computer games with UE5. Its hard. I learn blender and ue5 at the same time.
how to deal with problems and lack of motivation?
when did you start making a living from it?
@@PatrykSzumski-w9j self decipline is everything, you gotta make yourself study everyday... And put things you've learnt into practice... And be patient it's gonna take a while to become what you want to be. Start with smaller projects, learn until you are ready to do something grand... And if you struggle with forcing yourself to study get a tutor maybe.
this is extremely impressive, is there a way to slow down the animation correctly so it looks more realistic?
Yes there is
hey i am working on fps ik r&d and your system is seems really good, can it be work with fps too? I am thinking about merging your ik logic with my one and procedural anims, it can give good results i think. Do you gonna make a tutorial for it?
it certainly can... but you would have to create the first person view yourself as I'm not planning on adding the FPS view. aside from that certain concepts are different when designing the controls and gameplay for FPS vs TPS, and this is built to be a full TPS experience, but for the most part, yes you can apply the same concepts to your FPS projects. but it would require you to make adjustments for sure , so in short, answer is "YES but not right out of the box"
i need to learn unreal but not a huge fan of the blueprint system. i thought this was entirely c++, so end build performance won’t be that great
Just stop lying to yourselves and learn blueprints , I know it's a tough pill to swallow ... But there's No such thing as performance difference between this and that on a modern PC... There's a huge difference in production cost and time.
My man speaking truth 😂@@Crossfar
Bro got humbled
man that's really good
how can we use this asset?
can you share link ?
@@uv_music112 it's early stage in development, coming soon... Stay tuned I will share both progress and release news in TH-cam
@@Crossfar thanks
You are not testing with network lag enabled......the replication will most probably break as soon as there is network lag and packet loss......you can't do replicated movement in blueprints you need to either do it through a custom character movement component or through the gameplay ability system.
yes , or... does it!? :D
if done proper , you can do replicated movement with blueprint. just have to know your replication A,B,Cs down to its details.
and yes I know there's a 20$ plugin that handles movement and fixes it the easier way... but I prefer to do things my way...
@@Crossfar No the engine doesn't have the ability to handle replicated movement in blueprints just test it yourself.....enable network emulation and set network lag to 500 ms and set packet loss to 10%. You will start playing your montages twice per input but if you do it through the character movement component it will continue to work smoothly with the same settings
@@pranjalbhattacharjee5601 ok firstly thanks for bringing it up, it was a good idea to test. I just did some tests and here's my report of it...
everything actually works with 300-500ms ping, and 10% packet loss, except the fact that latency that high is an unplayable experience when inputs are lagged out way too much , there's just no way to enjoy it , but as far as animations and IK goes I designed it to work regardless of ping and turns out it does.
50-150ms ping even with a 5% or 10% packet loss , is a very smooth experience which is the average global ping.(with a higher packet loss than average)
under 300ms I would still call pretty playable... although not ideal. but over 300 is just too slow for winning any games as you would be nearly 1 second behind of your input... that's the ping no one can fix except Jesus...
but yeah I've seen much worst AAA games.
thanks for bringing it up again, it was a great idea to take some tests.
@@Crossfar yeah but while testing it's a good idea to test with extreme conditions.....I thought sprinting and traversal would break but if it's working then it's great I don't know how though. For all client projects I had to use the character movement component because it has network prediction and combined moves and stuff....but if it's working for you maybe do a tutorial ??
man, the truth is that I saw your entire video... it is the most incredible work that I have seen, your ideas are impressive and even more so is the mutliplayer through events... I would like to know if you have discord or any means where I can contact you... If I can hire you...either by the hour...I really want to work with you on a project...all payment...and I would like to know if this project you are doing is for sale as a template...gumroad or something like that, where can you find it?
