A little tip. Connect the branchs true execution pin, from the camera input section into the bottom Add controller pitch input. This way your Y rotation still works. This will work great so when you go to climb large obstacles you can look up at them and look down as you climb, it makes the experience feel better.
I'm not one to comment on youtube videos but you make me feel as I must. What amazing stuff dude! People like you who edit such well done videos and make great content will always make me smile. I've been fiddling with the GASP sample since it came out and the stuff you shown in the video will be of great use. Thank you so much, you have gained a subscriber. Keep it up!
@@lukasg2864 thanks so much for the kind words! Editing all this was such a learning experience so im glad it payed off and the tutorial helped haha welcome to the channel!
Absolutely amazing video. Just started making my first game a few weeks ago. This video would have helped a lot in the beginning especially the two bone ik for hand position. Thank you. Might be my first ever youtube comment lol.
You’re a legend mate thank you for making this as in depth as you did, gonna apply this system to my current setup in the morning! I have some questions about the unarmed melee combat was hoping you could help me out in the discord
@@beYOndd damn that means a lot I appreciate it!! I try to branch out from VR every now and again just so I can keep up-to-date with new templates coming out. The GASP template is so cool. I think it would be fun to try and put it into VR somewhere down the road.
I'm not seeing an explanation for the Transform (Modify) Bone node at 13:22 that comes after the Two Hand IK. My hand_l is still backwards, but I don't have a widget and I assumed that's what is rotating it. However, when I compile it gives me an error and says such a bone doesn't exist 😳I'm at a loss on what to do, and I hope somebosy can advise.
This is amazing! How would you make it so that you can switch between the first-person perspective and the third-person perspective? Maybe using a Boolean variable for which perspective and then branches for which code part to run? But how would you do it with the positioning of the camera, maybe a smooth "pull-out" effect could be cool?
Ture first person can be done by following the same steps in chapter 1 but removing the camera from the springarm and just attach it straight to the mesh. leaning will start working this way as the springarm stabilizes the camera for you and aiming is gonna be in the followup tutorial!
Just found this and this is just what I've been searching for, thanks! Any chance you could do a tutorial on replicating this GASP system also maybe switching from first to third person too (haven't looked through your channel yet so if you already have those then that's amazing).
The gun really bounces around a lot while moving, is there a way to keep the stock pushed into the shoulder so that it's more stable? To give it a more realistic feel. Great video, thank you for sharing.
Awesome video, thanks for the tutorial! By the way, is it supposed to be that I have no animation of "feet shuffling" when I rotate around my axis without moving? It's just that in your other video (UE 5.4 Motion Matching First Person Perspective) there was such an animation.
If I were to have a 1st person and 3rd person camera, what would I change or disconnect to where I can rotate the camera around the character to see the front of them?
Brilliant video. Thanks for it. One issue I noticed is that when you climb a high obstacle and have the camera rotation enabled while traversing the character doesn't turn back to the camera immediately after finishing the traversing animation. There's probably a some sort of transition back to the idle position while which the character can't change his rotation. Any idea how to fix that?
Nice, the only problem with moving the character behind the center of the capsule is that during turn in place in previous setups, it has a sort of sliding motion as if there is a problem with perspective. Unless this is not a problem anymore with motion matching in ue5.4. thanks
@@beYOndd ik hand solution similar to weapon block to adjust probably the hands when a sphere or capsule trace is detected up front but yeah that gets complicated with hands for interaction, for weapons not a problem hehe
@@lz4090 Actually pretty simple to do that, just gotta lerp the alpha of the IK node to 0 when starting an interaction so that the off hand has full range of motion (: I do this for my interaction system shown here th-cam.com/video/w_untkZMfQs/w-d-xo.html
Maaan, you have no idea how useful this is!! For days, I've been searching for this exact thing, but as a graphic artist, words like "locomotion bipedal root motion retargeting motion-matching skeletal animation system" etc. just confuse and scare the hell out of me. Thank you for making this! I haven't copied this yet, but I have a question: is there any way to lower the "swing" or "power" of the motions? To tone them down, dial them back a bit. After 16:00 there's just way too much movement going on with the arms, especially during jumping. The motion seems way too exaggerated. Can it be resolved with just a few numbers or a clump node or smthg, or would this basically require new animations, from the ground up (if so, I'd really appreciate a tutorial on that, haha) Thank you again!
Yup that can all be adjusted with setting the blend weight with the layered blend per bone. the higher the value the less its affected. Im gonna be doing a follow video as i already found better ways of doing things haha Ill make sure to address that. Its mostly because i left the spine blend at 0 during that clip so that the bounciness of the character really showed it off. While in my personal projects i like to keep it more subtle
also because thats during "sprinting" if the gun was positioned for a sprint animation it would look way better but that was beyond the scoop of this tutorial. Just wanted to get people started
@@beYOndd ah yeah, that actually makes sense, too! Thank you for the quick reply! I've Subscribed, and actually I might join the Discord channel, too! I'll probably have a bunch of other questions down the line. Cheers mate!
man i gotta give you props, you did a thousand times better than the idiots over at unreal even got close to, this is really useful, and im gonna use it for development. Their tutorials are vague and useless.
I have to go thru this video but just the kinda thing im looking for, sucks you didn't go further before the update being a personal project, but i'll just have to build off it if i can. lol
On 5.5, i don't understand why i keep having the camera on the "hip position" even if i did everything correctly (moving the spring arm to the head bone, etc.). Did someone manage to fix this ?
@@beYOnddThanks for the info ! I’m trying my best to make things works, honestly i’m thinking about not delete the « Setup camera » node and try to figure it out. Maybe adding a third person to first person toggle instead of the « far, balanced, near » toggle they put in their blueprints.
Do you want to marry me? 🤣 Thank you so much for this tutorial, worked perfectly.. im new to game development (done 2 years fivem/lua modding but never a full game with unreal or something) and new to unreal since 1 week and i got it working.. was struggeling with pitch animation for 3 days now. the only thing that does not work for me is controls for the second player, not sure why, but it worked with the old character. need to take a look into that.
Lmfaoo this guy. Saw you joined the discord! glad to hear it helped, if youre talking about replication then im not too sure on that as i havent messed with it at all.
@@beYOndd haha yeah i did :D i restarted because i wanted my project reorganized.. and then i tried it again. looks like its just not supported yet. ill postbone the animations and that stuff for my project, lets see until its supported.
@juergenw7495 they mentioned replication will be addressed in 5.5 i believe shouldnt be too far off but theres a bunch of people on youtube that figured out solutions for it currently
Is this smooth FPS animation mechanic "theoretically" possible to implement in other game engines like Unity or Godot? Since some functions can be the same in other engines, only changing the respective specific functions. Or is this complexity only assessible with Unreal engine?
@@sebastercats6123 theoretically yes I think you could. Would i ever attempt to probably not cause i can only imagine the head ache recreating this from scratch.
In most AAA First Person games, you see a smooth camera, even when walking up and down stars, and jumping. Attaching the camera to the head bone, makes the camera bounce, is very unrealistic, can make you dizzy, causes motion sickness, and target acquisition difficult. This can work, but there is another way, with procedural animation. In COD, Destiny 2, other 1st person shooters, the cursor is very stable, and they further smooth out the camera when Aiming Down Sights with aids like friction, reticles slow down and stickiness. Have you considered using Procedural animation to can create a stable 1st person POV? Example of how is explained here: th-cam.com/video/nqDE17tFDxE/w-d-xo.html I would be interested in your thoughts on this, pros and cons, and perhaps a second video on how you would create a stable 1st Person Point of View.
Yea no still wont use UE ever again, not trustworthy and absolute poop for performance... Imagine making a cute little game in UE to than realise it will fail because Mobile users barely can even open your game thanks to UE... Happens more than it should...
Mobile works fine, but you need to start from the mobile sample, or learn how to use the engine first. Properly learning the tool goes for any software though.
5.5 UPDATE: Looks like 5.5 made this outdated so if you updated this won’t work. 5.5 version in the works.
plz release soon!

Need 5.5 version too, please release the updated tutorial soon 🙏❤
Patiently awaiting!
I’m planning to upgrade to 5.5 from 5.4 so I’d definitely need some help with getting it to work
ETA?
0:23 First Person Setup
