I haven't seen anyone mention it but just as a small note in the trace, you can get the forward vector of the camera instead of getting rotation and then getting the forward vector from that, just to make things a little more simple. Great tutorial overall!
I never knew this function even existed, thanks for the tip! Btw, if you don't want to have to hold the key down to keep holding the object after you've grabbed it, instead of doing the branch after releasing the E key, just add a branch after pressing the E key and if isGrabbingObject is true, have the physics handle release the component and if isGrabbingObject is false run the line trace and everything.
For anyone who have the problem with dissapearing cubes. 1:27 he says "Add". I multiplied it by mistake. Remember to change it both in the grab and the event tree. Great video btw 😄
@GorkaGames Hey could please, do an update to this video incorporating the clamping of objects so that they dont phase through other meshes, since a lot of people have been asking and the directions you have given us has confused people more rather than helped?
For people having the issue, that the grabbed object goes through walls: Enable CCD (Continuous Collision Detection). Best to only enable it on the grabbed component. So basically between the line trace and the "Grab Component" Node. Just drag the "Hit Component" out and enable CCD. When releasing, just before you call the release Node, get the physics handle -> "Get Grabbed Component" and disable CCD again. With that it works really good.
@@danteanthony153 You probably mean the node? As said, drag the "Hit Component" out and enable CCD. I think the node itself is called "Set All Use CCD". But that should be pretty easy to find, when you just search for "CCD".
@@danteanthony153 No because thats a bool. As written, when grabbing, at the linetraces return grab the "hit Component" and search for "CCD" there. When releasing, you get the physics handle -> Get Grabbed Component and do the same.
How did i find this tutorial this late. there where no ue5 tutorials about this, this has to get liked and more people need to watch this! One problem: When grabbed and looked down in a specific way the cube goes under the ground and can also be used to box jump when under player.
haha thank you so much man, I`m glad you found it usefull! So a solution to this is to disable the box`s collision while its being grabbed, and then enable it again as soon as it`s dropped
@@game4us_animator You would need to be casting anther line trace in the event tick while you are holding an object, that would ignore the picked object layer so it can go through it. And if the objects distance is greater than the new line trace distance, clamp it
How would i go about having the object rotate to a specific point each time i pick it up? For example, the metal poles in the dead space remake. Each time you grab one, it turns and faces downrange so you can throw it at an enemy.
You can adjust the values in the multiplication function just after "get forward vector" just make sure you do this on the event tick as well! I set mine to 250 and it works better in my opinion.
If you wanna grab "Actors" heres the way i found to do it: When you make an actor you want to grab, make sure you have some kind of base static mesh/component then drag that onto the DefaultSceneRoot of the actor. You do this because during testing if you just have the object (component) you want grabbed attached to the DefaultSceneRoot (So basically under it) and not the actual DefaultSceneRoot, then the component will move separate from the actor. Do: BP_Object (Self) >StaticMesh Don't: BP_Object (Self) >DefaultSceneRoot >StaticMesh Basically you're making the actor the component instead of the actor having components. One more thing, if you're having an issue with releasing the grabbed object, off of the false node on the branch in the Event Tick function I put the "Release Component" function for the physics handle. I hope this makes sense, and just an fyi I don't know if this is the right way to do it but it worked for me. (Im also using UE 5.4)
Thank you. Do you have tip for eliminating Physics handle lag in UE5? Regardless the tick order, substepping and settings on the component, its turns out completely useless in serious scenarios that require no distance between the source object that dragged and the target with the Physics handle on.
How would you make the item weighted tho? Because with that I can pick up massive items and fling them, how would I go about making them heavier based on size? I’ve tried the mass tick box and made it 500 but doesn’t change it
Yeah there is a way. first you need to create a blueprint interface to communicate the weight float variable between the actor blueprint and your player blueprint. @@thecontaminatedone6094
Hi, great video! I want to ask something, when the object is grabbed he loses his collision, it just get through any object in his way, i tried to use a blocking volume but it passes the same, even trying to put a "on begin overlap" node to drop the object when he touches an obstacle, but it doesn't work too, the blueprint doesn't even start, seems like the object has become non existent, if anyone has any tip it would be a lifesaver, thank you!
Don't know if you fixed, but you can use a component called "Set Use CCD" chek in use ccd after "Grab Component at Location with Rotation" and one more after Release Component but uncheck it. This will fixed the problem. My english not very well but if you don't understand just search "Set Use CCD".
@@shanedavis-u4z I'm not sure what you mean by 'jumping'; at least, I haven't encountered that issue. If you've already used 'Set Use CCD' in the blueprint for picking up objects, there shouldn't be any problems. Is it possible that there are too many objects in the environment where you’re picking up items, causing collisions with the picked-up object? Alternatively, you could try reducing the two damping parameters.
@@shanedavis-u4z I don’t know how to solve this; it seems to be a physics-related issue. What I did was directly limit the player’s downward view angle so they can’t look directly below, preventing picked-up objects from ending up at the player’s feet.
Thank you!! This system should pretty much work well in third person out of the box. But probably you would need to increase the Line Trace distance in order to grab the object (both in the interaction and in the event tick) much easily. And then if you move the camera a bit closer and slightly to the right of the player it would improve massively.
Hey! Nice Tutorial, works perfectly for me. Quick question tho: How can we make the grabbed object stay at the same location? So It doesnt get pulled in front of the player but stays where it is?
right, i have the same setup and it absolutely fucks up cuz event begin is already assigned to something in third person. this creates issues with any other tutorial when you need to put something on the screen or assign a key, as keys become combined as well
Before the "grab line trace" you have a "get world rotation", followed by a "get forward vector" and then a multiply. The value you put into the multiply is the distance. Eg Gorka put 500 in there, I put 200 in there. The same goes for the value in "multiply" in the "event tick".
How can i make the object rotate with the players camera? Bc rn it is mooving but not rotating on the z axis. So if i look left or right it just doesnt rotate with the player
No I still didn't. I have an idea by applying a blueprint script to the picked up object and there rotating it accordingly, however you can't do that in the same script. At least not that I know how

@@GorkaGames For 1 and a half days I've been adjusting the value of all the boxes in the start and end vectors, nothing has changed. I'm using line trace by channel, am I using the wrong line trace. If not, than what is the proper value Please, take your time.
@@GorkaGames Yeah I had the same problem - this method only works if I push the object first to make it move, it seems to only take effect on physics objects that are moving?
I sorted it out, the physics system went to sleep when things weren't moving so it wasn't moving the object when the physics handle told it to. Fixed by adding a small impulse to the target object on successful line trace hit, bumps it to move and wake up the physics, then the grab worked.
What do you exactly mean? It has to be set as "movable" in the scene, but it can just be static. And if you are talking about it having physics, you could disable them, and just enable when you frop them for 2 secs. If that is what you mean
I found the solution apparently older versions of Unreal Engine 5 have the "sleep physics" feature so if anyone has the same error just add the "wake rigid body" node before the grab to be able to move the object without having to collide with the "this is only needed in pre-5.1 checks" I hope this helps someone who has the same problem :)
I can only grab the block when I go against it and after it moves I can catch it. When he's stopped I can't catch him, I have to give him a little push. Has it happened to anyone else?
Does this still work in UE 5.4? I followed everything but i can only lock objects in place by hitting E. When i hit E again they are released, but the dont follow my movement.
Great video. running into a problem were my item / starter content cube, just dissapears upon pressing E. I have followed everything thing correct and double checked not sure what i could be doing wrong?
Thank you for the awesome video I'm new to UE and I've been binge watching your tutorials and adding things to my first little game! Is there any way you can pick it up in both first and thirst person if you feel the need to switch in game? You can pick it up in third person but when holding it you have to move it around with WASD instead of your mouse.
Thank you man! I`m gald you find them usefull. Yeah so I would reommend to firstly increase the grab Line Trace distance in third person to make it more separetely from the camera. Now about the movement, the object will be always folloing the camera, so in your case is it not following the camera, and only the player?
Hey, thanks for the tutorial, im new to unreal engine and I have been binge watching ur tutorials, anyways, is there any way that I could place down 2 event ticks or have one event tick work on 2 different connections, thank you for the tutorial.
Awesome video! I wanted to ask one question tho. In the video, you were able to grab the object in a bit of a distance. However, my grasping only works if I'm really close to the object. What would I have to adjust in order to increase the range of grabbing? Thank you!
Set the location (in Event Tick) to a lower value than the initial trace end point. For example, if you have the trace multiplier as 500, you can set the location multiplier to 250 to halve the distance.
Hi, I'm following your tutorial but when I added a basic cube to test it, it doesn't pick it up. Are there additional settings that need to be added to the cube?
Hey, are you using the same content example cube as me? There is not many additional settings to touch, I just covered them in 4:57 . But if you are using the same cube as me, then you shouldn't need to touch anything
@@GorkaGames Sorry about the delayed response! So I figured out it's actually grabbing, but it's actually launching items away, so I'm still holding them but they're just really far away and out of view. It also only grabs when I physically run into the cube, though I can grab it from a distance for a short while before it stops working and I have to run into it again. Do you know what would cause it? Imagine it like you've picked up something with one of those toy claw grabbers and it's suddenly extended, so you're still holding the item but now it's just really far away, if that makes sense?
Anyone else getting a runtime error when they exit preview? accessed none trying to read property CallFunc_BreakHitResult_HitComponent". Node: Grab Component at Location with Rotation...

Asking this same question too. I tried in 2 player mode but when i have one player pick up the item, the object doesnt move. I followed Gorka's tutorial on replication and applied it here but with no success
The most progress ive done tho was selecting the object in the map editor and selecting true for replicate mesh movement. It just works for the server and not the client atm. Im digging deeper to see how to make clients do the same to the server

thank you so much for the support man!! I really appreciate it!! In what objects are you trying this out with? Do they have simulate physics and physics actor?

Awesome tutorial, But when you are grabbing an object, it phases through the walls when you walk toward a wall. When you have the time to, can you please tell me how to fix it?
thanks! You would need to be casting anther line trace in the event tick while you are holding an object, that would ignore the picked object layer so it can go through it. And if the objects distance is greater than the new line trace distance, clamp it
@@GorkaGames For 1 and a half days I've been adjusting the value of all the boxes in the start and end vectors, nothing has changed. I'm using line trace by channel, am I using the wrong line trace. If not, than what is the proper value
Please, take your time.
@@SkuidMERCH i have the same problem have you found a solution
@@GorkaGames how do I do that plssssssssss help
Nice Easy to Understand tutorial! I have to touch the cube to pick it up tho. my grab distance is good enough to pick up objects from a far
thank you man! you can increase the grabbing distance etc in the Line Trace multipliers
@@GorkaGames Yeah I know, but my grab distance is on 500 :(
@@GorkaGames Yeah I had the same problem - this method only works if I push the object first to make it move, it seems to only take effect on physics objects that are moving?
I sorted it out, the physics system went to sleep when things weren't moving so it wasn't moving the object when the physics handle told it to. Fixed by adding a small impulse to the target object on successful line trace hit, bumps it to move and wake up the physics, then the grab worked.
Good video, worked first try. Well explained, short and sweet.
Does it work to UE 4?
at 1:53 where u have to brake the hit result , unreal 5.3.2 u can not do this any more , any work around ? (ignore...fixed)
how?
yes man how?
can you tell us the fix plz
How can you apply rotation to this?
The object necessarily has to be moving so that I can take it, any solution?
What do you exactly mean? It has to be set as "movable" in the scene, but it can just be static. And if you are talking about it having physics, you could disable them, and just enable when you frop them for 2 secs. If that is what you mean
I found the solution apparently older versions of Unreal Engine 5 have the "sleep physics" feature so if anyone has the same error just add the "wake rigid body" node before the grab to be able to move the object without having to collide with the "this is only needed in pre-5.1 checks"
I hope this helps someone who has the same problem :)
And with it many bugs are solved
@@Lymaax250 I have the same problem
Yes, "wake rigid body" solved the problem! Thanks a lot
I can only grab the block when I go against it and after it moves I can catch it. When he's stopped I can't catch him, I have to give him a little push. Has it happened to anyone else?
yes
me too
Found the answer! Drag out from the "Hit Component" and use a "Wake Rigid Body" node just before the "Grab Component at Location with Rotation" :)
Excellent tutorial, I have a question though, when you grab an object is setted to far away from the camera, how can I set it closer?
Thank you! SO you will need to decrease the multiplier in both the Line Trace (1:16) and in the event tick (4:40)
@@GorkaGames Thanks for your response, I did change the multiplier in line trace, but I forgot the event tick, thanks again!
thx so much❤🔥
my pleasure!
Does this still work in UE 5.4? I followed everything but i can only lock objects in place by hitting E. When i hit E again they are released, but the dont follow my movement.
very useful thank you!
There is also need WakeRigidBody node before grabbing.
Is that why mine wont work? Where do i add the WakeRigidBody?
@@elasss666 After the brranch of the line
Is this also possible with topdown character?
can you make a spawn menu video so i can remake garrys mod
yeah, I have planned making more widget UI tutorials soon
@@GorkaGamesthanks
Great video. running into a problem were my item / starter content cube, just dissapears upon pressing E. I have followed everything thing correct and double checked not sure what i could be doing wrong?
Same with me. I am on ue5.1.1. Third Person.
Thank you for the awesome video I'm new to UE and I've been binge watching your tutorials and adding things to my first little game! Is there any way you can pick it up in both first and thirst person if you feel the need to switch in game? You can pick it up in third person but when holding it you have to move it around with WASD instead of your mouse.
Thank you man! I`m gald you find them usefull. Yeah so I would reommend to firstly increase the grab Line Trace distance in third person to make it more separetely from the camera. Now about the movement, the object will be always folloing the camera, so in your case is it not following the camera, and only the player?
Nice video :)
thank you man!!
Hey, thanks for the tutorial, im new to unreal engine and I have been binge watching ur tutorials, anyways, is there any way that I could place down 2 event ticks or have one event tick work on 2 different connections, thank you for the tutorial.
THATS MY QUESTION TOO I NEED TO KEEP MY HEAD BOBBING
Same
use sequence node
@@dig3450 thank ya
it not work when i click E it deletes the cubs. can you help?
same, i went into blank space to see where they go and when i click on them they teleport into the distance, did you find a way to solve this yet?
can tbis work for grabbing enemies nd throw
No
There is this bug I got where you can jump on the object and basically fly. Could you make a part 2 to fix that bug? 😀
Oh really? 🤣 I will have a look into it!!
@@GorkaGames Ok!
@@GorkaGames Yeah! I had the same issue. Did you find a solution?
@@banditsmoke I have the same problem. Did you find a fix?
@@csakegybolond264 No, I didn’t find a fix 😕
great tutorials, easy to follow, and thorough! thank you for your help. awesome videos
Awesome video!! One thing tho, how do I make the objects rotation always face the camera. Like the Half life pickup mechanic.
Thank you
well its more complex problem to solve than you can think after this tutorial..
Would love to know because this video is only half the solution at this point.
Awesome video! I wanted to ask one question tho. In the video, you were able to grab the object in a bit of a distance. However, my grasping only works if I'm really close to the object. What would I have to adjust in order to increase the range of grabbing? Thank you!
Just increase your raycast distance
@@sauvik2473 Do I do that with the vector value??
@@SeongmokChung increase ..the value in the multiply pin before your line trace by channel node
i have a question , how i can stop the cube? i mean i can throw it away and he fly away so far , how i can freeze constraints?
Amazing tutorial! Is there any way to make the object spawn closer to you? It gets picked up sooo far away from the player. Thanks! :D
Set the location (in Event Tick) to a lower value than the initial trace end point. For example, if you have the trace multiplier as 500, you can set the location multiplier to 250 to halve the distance.
idk if i messed up but im having two problems one is i can ride on the cube and fly the second is the item im holding clips though walls
little late but if you put on a physical mesh and turn off overlap the item will stop clipping
Hi, I'm following your tutorial but when I added a basic cube to test it, it doesn't pick it up. Are there additional settings that need to be added to the cube?
Hey, are you using the same content example cube as me? There is not many additional settings to touch, I just covered them in 4:57 . But if you are using the same cube as me, then you shouldn't need to touch anything
@@GorkaGames Sorry about the delayed response!
So I figured out it's actually grabbing, but it's actually launching items away, so I'm still holding them but they're just really far away and out of view.
It also only grabs when I physically run into the cube, though I can grab it from a distance for a short while before it stops working and I have to run into it again.
Do you know what would cause it?
Imagine it like you've picked up something with one of those toy claw grabbers and it's suddenly extended, so you're still holding the item but now it's just really far away, if that makes sense?
@@CraftyMaelyss > It also only grabs when I physically run into the cube
did you figure out what the problem was?
how to make objects a bit more closer?
Beatifull, thank!!! ^^
Anyone else getting a runtime error when they exit preview?
accessed none trying to read property CallFunc_BreakHitResult_HitComponent". Node: Grab Component at Location with Rotation...
This is exactly what I am looking for but how do you make the object you pick up just swing from the point that you grab it from? I'm puttzing with simplified game controls where only a mouse and it's button combos are used so it can be easy to use in a browser.
I've noticed that my guns are affected by this and it's freaking hilarious. I could just yeet my guns off the level.
how can i have the item im grabbing rotate as the character does?
how could i prevent the block from traversing other objects?
You would need to be casting anther line trace in the event tick while you are holding an object, that would ignore the picked object layer so it can go through it. And if the objects distance is greater than the new line trace distance, clamp it
@gorak what do mean by clamp it
I have a problem with the physics of the boxes, if I pick up a box and release the mouse while moving the camera, the box flies away, how can I fix that?
Did you do anything extra asides from following the video as I'm noticing nothing is working for me the boxes wont even pick up for me, and I've followed the whole video. Did you use the most recent UE Update ?
How can I use this on a non character like maybe a magic wand or something?
I think i copied it right but whenever I pressed E cubes would disappear
what about third person?
is it 5.1 ir 5.0
Im using 5.1
ok
How to replicate this?
Asking this same question too. I tried in 2 player mode but when i have one player pick up the item, the object doesnt move. I followed Gorka's tutorial on replication and applied it here but with no success
The most progress ive done tho was selecting the object in the map editor and selecting true for replicate mesh movement. It just works for the server and not the client atm. Im digging deeper to see how to make clients do the same to the server
Try using rpc/cast to server on the mouse clicks/release
Someone plssssss help I have used it and I need to stop it from going through walls or sending me flying when I put it under me
Also plsss just take a picture of the blueprints to fix this I’m done so I won’t understand how to do that
I mean dumb
Please help me out, I would like to make a foldable objects. Like foladable boxes that charater can interact on.
Hey, what a great video!
I was just wondering if you could also save the location of cubes moved?
as in a save system. i can get it to save the location of the player though.
hey man your tutorials are great again i was wanting to add this and you helped me you have a good help in most of my projects i unfortunatly had to downgrade to 4.27.2 because of a bad bug corrupting my projects.But your tutorials still help! update:for some reason it doesnt work on me have any ideas? update again sorry i mistaken somewhere it works but its buggy as hell it teleports a item into nothing i saw that it delets the cube mesh
thank you so much for the support man!! I really appreciate it!! In what objects are you trying this out with? Do they have simulate physics and physics actor?
@@GorkaGames yea both of them
@@GorkaGames i cant check right now bcs in where i live its 02:25 but they were enabled if im not wrong
