Would be great to see this in conjunction with using player's hand to open the door. Great stuff, Matt
from all tutorials on youtube on opening/closing doors, this is the one which worked perfectly for me. thanks, sir!
Consistently making some of best, cleanest tutorials I find! Thank you for making 5.1 update videos so quickly it makes the transition a little less overwhelming
Glad you like them!
Haven’t seen the vid yet, but ur stuff is so helpful and amazing. Ur skill to simplify things is unmatched and you should feel incredible about how many ppl you’ve helped!
Thank you so much for your kind words! That really does mean a lot to me!
I have absolutely no idea what I just did... but it worked.
Thanks man.
Very useful ! For archviz purposes I've made it triggered not by E but by LMB as I do not need fire function in interiors :)
Thanks Nice Work Very Easy and Function
great work!👍
Worked good, thx you
Matt u best bro ! TY
Big thanks for this. Very useful info!
My pleasure!
Hello Matt :) Merci beaucoup ton tuto ma beaucoup aider ;)
great tuturial
Awesome, great tutorial.
Now to figure out if it works as well with a ray based look at button/object + input action approach. Id like to trigger only if im looking at a specific object or part of a blueprint.
Hey Matt, I wanted to ask because I couldn’t find one but if you don’t have one could you potentially make a video on how to make a spawn room for a first person game?
I'm definitely waiting until I get close to done with my game before I see how it migrates to 5.1. Not sure I want to update all the interact blueprints yet. 😄
It all works, u really are tthe best youtuber on this, but my character cant walk through as if door is still blocking it.
good stuff, easy to follow! What if you want key input to open, but have the close animation play on End Overlap? I can't find a tutorial about anything close to it, just key input for open and close.
Excellent video ! Is it possible to make a video on pick up letter and read system like in Layers of Fears ? :D
For some reason in 5.2 instead of Inherited Interfaces it works on Implemented Interfaces, why is that though?
Thanks for this Matt. A couple questions not addressed: 1. What makes this new system better than the previous system? I.E. what's your thinking as to why this has changed. 2. A great followup idea might be to demonstrate how you would make the door partially open. For example, Holding down "E" opens it more and more so long as you hold the key down. 3. A second video on how to make a residential garage door that slides up and back would be cool. This would allow you to show us how to do more complex movement.
Or having always move away from player. But yes this tutorial is a rehash in most of its form.
1 question if you lets say do all of this things set door and everything up can you just pack it all doiwn in to 1 and just copy and put doors everywhere or you have to re do the whole procces?
Edit: Love your content btw! You do a lot for the community with this kind of thing
You can add the mapping in the BeginPlay of your PlayerController class itself. It saves a lot of checks, and perf, and also doesn't rely on the starting with exactly that ThirdPersonCharacter as the default pawn.
Doing it the the ThirdPersonCharacter is asking the ThirdPersonCharacter to ask the UWorld to ask itself if it should ask the GameInstance or the GameState to iterate over all players and then give the ThirdPersonCharacter a reference to its PlayerController to then have the ThirdPersonCharacter call the add a mapping context function on that controller.
Doing it in a BP_PlayerController just gets the controller to add the context to itself at BeginPlay()
You sure you can create controls through controller? Need an example of that... or is it obvious? Haven't opened UE for few weeks, yay and I think I tried once, but don't remember.
@@gamerdweebentertainment1616 The "Get Player Controller" node is just asking the UWorld class to get getting a reference
to the PlayerController class that you've chosen in your GameMode class. The "Cast to" confirms that the reference you got is of that type, the IsValid makes sure its not null or about to be garbage collected.
So by moving the logic from your Pawn to your PlayerController's BeginPlay() { assign context here } you skip all the hoops the engine needs to jump through to get that reference to the class and just make the class assign the context to itself
@@3DWithLairdWT Holy Shit... it still works. I thought you have to make the connection and then you can only use the inputs in the controller, but you can use it in player blueprint, seems to work. Cool cool, well that simplifies things, a lot :) Oh my god, and then possess actors which is a menu of sorts... Should work... Nice Motivation for tomorrow to test the Menu as an actor and if I can control the HUD that way using keyboard or gamepad. Thank you! for forcing me to test it :)
@@gamerdweebentertainment1616 Glad you followed through and checked :)
Putting the logic in the controller allows you to move between pawns and not lose your input mappings. Also means each game mode class can easily have its own default controls without casting or calling for references
You can also have any pawns or UI buttons have a delegate they can broadcast, which the Controller has a bound event for, allowing you to again swap input contexts without casts or dependencies
Thanks for the tip!
I've still got to change my input system in my game over to the enhanced one. I'll get on with that today with the info you have given fresh in my mind :)
Thanks for showing the new input action system, I need to implement that but the input action node in the blueprint scares me x).
At 06:52 the Implemented Interfaces is inverted with the Inherited Interfaces, this is a mistake in the interface and has been fixed for the next 5.2 version, you can search for the UE-169241 issue that explain the case ;)
Thanks for your support, super happy I could help! :)
And thanks for explaining that bug, that makes a lot of sense!
oui merci je croyais que c’était une erreur :)
I've followed the tutorial and now I have a door that opens and closes which as awesome! But every now and again when attempting to open or close the door it seems to glitch, like it begins to move but then returns to whichever state it was in, it'll take a couple more key presses in order to get it correctly function again. Any ideas?
ok Matt it worked but how can i make it so that the door opens from both sides in right direction? i mean rotate in oposite direction of where I pressed E?
For those who are struggling with the door rotation bug, check the timeline for the first key that the values are 0 (time and value) for some reason, in the value I've got 0.345568 or something like that. Even when I set it to 0. Check the values and set it. After that, will work fine. About the door's collision I don't know how to add it.
I made the collision works. in your door blueprint, select the static mesh door. find "Collision Presets", click on Custom and set to Block.
@Matt, been following a lot of your videos and theyre fantastic. I am currently stuck on something "simple" trying to pick up a key (bassed on your tutorial) and have that action make several items disappear. as a horror event. What can I do to connect the key pickup with items on the map?
Hi mate, could you message me on Discord or email and I can get back to you on how to fix it. If you could message me some more details of what you’re after that’d be great. It’s a lot easier to help in a conversation like that instead of here haha
You can find both my email and discord in my channels about page
Thank you Matt!!!! Is it possible see with a linetrace/look at?
It is indeed, you can merge this video with the one linked below :)

Would be cool if there was a 'bounce' effect, perhaps you could bake the animation inside of Blender? They have a 'bounce' feature or modifier I believe that adds the effect to animations like this. Using an adjustable curve.
Maybe add a sound effect too, you know, just kinda make it complete.
Hi would it be possible to do a fish eye effect in first person
simple one or maybe with extra open door slowly function or smth ?
hi im new to this i wanted to make an interactable sliding door for my vr project can you tell me how?
In this method, player can open and close the door even if player is not looking at the door. I'd recommend using linetraces
How do you add sounds that match the door?
Dont know if you already have a video on opening door with keys. but so that use can place multiple doors and have to use a different key for each. using a tag or somesort?
You could create an integer on the doors and the keys to match them up.
is there a video that shows how to block and unblock the character's access to the door? i cant find how can i stop character going inside the close door
hey Matt thanks for the very helpful tutorials. I am currently trying to add a button to activate a door, using the same blueprint layout in this tutorial, how would I go about doing this? Thanks again
Im also trying to figure this out, haven't been able to find a good guide for it, was hoping Matt had one
Awesome tutorial. I have started my journey of c#. Sometimes the code doesn’t work even when I follow instructions (referring to tutorials I’m learning about C sharp not u 😢) and I was just wondering how exactly did you learn?
You need c++ if you want to work with unreal. I know C# and it's useless for unreal, like dead useless. Otherwise learn by trying simple things in blueprint like moving objects or interactions and so on. Blueprint is easy just needs to get a habit of it.
@@natecoet3291 I assume c++ is harder. So blueprints I can learn just by mixing around
How do i add a door opening sound to it?
hey I don't know if anyone will see this message
but i have a problem with the door
the first is that I didn't "inherited Interface" but rather "implemented Interface"
I don't know if this is the reason for my second problem.
the second problem is that I can certainly open and close the door but I have an invisible wall which is in the way...
thank you if there are people who can help me.
This script doesn't check to ensure the animation finishes before it can be triggered again. So a player spamming E can make the animation constantly restart
It would be cool to have a version where the direction of the open/close was different based on which side of the door you were standing on.
I just created two box colliders, one for each side of the door, and set their begin overlap events to change the Open Position value so that the door always opens in the opposite direction of the player.
Okey, I did it, but now I'm fighting with smooth change between -110 and 110 angle
Hi Matt. Do you perhaps know the following:
If you open Unreal engine 5.1 and Open an old 5.0.4 project which included your old door opening blueprint...will it be updated automatically or will that break the project?
I haven’t tried it, but what usually happens is the node remains but doesn’t work and will return an error. Since input events didn’t update from 5.0 to 5.1, I doubt they will update from 5.1 to 5.0
@Matt Aspland Thanks Matt. I am going to try it and will report back what happens. And thanks for your videos, I learned so much.
Lol great I'll add this to 50 ways to open a door in unreal. I'm all for simplification but this doesn't seem any better than previous methods.
How to include licenses/give credit to downloaded assets with the view towards publishing your game? We need a tutorial on this. Some of us are serious!
how to get the new Update?
This new system is little hard for me need to keep trying again and again
how much would you charge to help dev a game?
Hey, you can email me at: matt.aspland.1@gmail.com to discuss freelance work
When I open the door it opens very wide and doesnt stay in 1 spot.
Second
What if I wanted to let the player be able to open the door only when he's looking at it?
You could do a line trace and check if it hits the door
You can merge this video with the one linked below :)

@@MattAspland Nice, thanks
5.1 is terrible we ever getting a part 2 to the multiplayer door videos?
My door disappears when I press play T_T
It didnt work.
How would you Blueprint a car door that when you approach using the first person and click on the door it opens?
