At the start I was uneasy because tutorials without VO usually aren't that high quality and the low bitrate was making things pixelate. At the end I was subscribing and am now looking forward for more lyra videos from you. This is hands down the best lyra tutorial I've seem so far! No bs, straight to the point and taught everything I needed to know to implement my custom characters and allow me to pick one at runtime. I'll second the petition for a skin display system from armor hous3.
Thanks for this! It was quick but 100% working perfectly! Working on my own project in Lyra and looking for more that might be interested in joining development! Let me know if you're interested!
This is all nice and cool, will definitely try it. I have a concern though, I don't want to change the Lyra classes, do you think it's possible to achieve the same results but by duplicating the sources and using a plug-in rather than making Lyra non upgradable ? If so, what elements would need to be duplicated?
Great Tute, subscribed. Your tute is the closest I have found on modding the Lyra Menu, I would love more. One I have not seen is how to get the Quick Play, or a copy of, to point to a level I created... I can change the graphics but not the mechanics.
Everything was easy to follow and works but I've got one question, I keep going over and I don't think I missed anything. In the character selection screen it always defaults to the first character in the index (in your case, Lexi) no matter which tile I choose. Any thoughts?
it's hard to tell what it could be without looking at your code, seems to me in B_pickrandomCharachter your load character is not passing through and option 1 is called it might be something within the W_Character selection check the on button clicked events and just do a print string instead to see if things are working.
I worked through this on a fresh copy of Lyra and a brand new metahuman, on 5.1. It almost works, but the metahuman skin runs around in a t-pose (the guns are animated though). Something changed, maybe?
I kept working through it and got to the same place you ended, I think, with the animations pretty well synced up except for the hands, which I see you covered later!
Reparent your metahuman to LyraTaggedActor, select the animation gameplay tag, turn on live retargeting, and add an entry for your metahuman in the Lyra Cosmetic Developer Settings in Editor Preferences.
@@cwingler Thank you so much for this, I’m currently wrapping up this series of tutorials with one more vid before updating it to 5.1, I will give this a try after that. Thanks again!
I started out doing these with voice over but decided to take a different approach here's the vid where I set up the characters -> th-cam.com/video/3zGLM70IYx8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks you very much for your work my friend ! 2 years after, your tutorial helped me so much ! ❤

Thank you I Appreciate that, and I already have the skin display working and will try to get a video up by the weekend stay tuned.
Took some time but I've got this set up and working, thanks for all the effort put into making this tutorial.

Thanks and sure thing! working on expanding on more of these, I have a new one coming up with Third person to first person switching, stay tuned.
Just thank you for the content!
Thank you for the nice comment!
exactly what i am searching for thank you mate..
Fantastic job! I was curious can you build skin display system like Apex or Fortnite where you can see the skeletal mesh selected?
I’ll see if further down I can integrate that to Lyra , I have that implemented in a UE4 project.
@@nomadic626 Please do! thank you in advance!
Great work. Much better than the system I had
great job if you can do make a video how can i play with two characters but the enemy is different with my two characters not only different colour

I’ll look into that. Thanks for the sub.
Do one on changing the default weapons to the ones from the free fps weapons bundle from the epic marketplace. Bonus if you can change the sounds too
cool
Good continued brooo
I packaged the Android game of Lyra but the Loading screen is still showing and the game does not go ahead. Any fixes Please help
I know it's been 2 years, but does this work with packaged multiplayer version with eos?
Haven't tested it with EOS, but it should.
Can I use the same logic for weapon selection. If yes what changes should I make to implement the weapon selection into lyra.
We can build mobile game with lyra ?
Hi! I want to spawn my actor, but, if i spawn that using “SpawnActorFromClass” it can’t use ability systems and other systems too. Help pls

@@nomadic626 Hey thanks, you were right it was in B_CharacterSave. I didn't tie the character selection index in SetCharacterSelected function.
im having one problem with the video.. can u help me? hugs!
its me again... I did not have that Actor Variable in 8:33
I don't know if you figured it out, but this is a custom variable, he just made an array instead of entering skins in "Select"

I haven’t yet worked on Lyra for 5.1 just yet, let me know if you did miss anything as I’m planning on expanding on this soon in 5.1.

@@nomadic626 There's a tutorial on it here if you need help. th-cam.com/video/UOgQmgQA07g/w-d-xo.html
Think this will work with multiplayer?
there is extra to do to have it work in multiplayer, a video I made is coming up soon to show how to make it work
@@nomadic626 Nice - can't wait! Subscribed and bell enabled so I'll get it :)
@@TheosResearchDiary Thank you very much appreciate it.
How do this video in the first how character set up
I started out doing these with voice over but decided to take a different approach here's the vid where I set up the characters -> th-cam.com/video/3zGLM70IYx8/w-d-xo.html
Can you have voice explanations step by step
Once I get better gear.
