1.20 min I am getting a delay of 0.5 in montage animation like, when the zombie approaches the player and stands in a IDLE position for some sec and then plays the attack montage, someone with solution!!! EDIT; IF YOU'RE FACING SUCH ISSUE JUST ----- INCREASE THE "AI MOVE TO" ACCEPTANCE RADIUS TO 90-100 - IT WILL BE A FIX
For anyone using unreal 5.2.1 15:00 when trying to get a blend space you need to go down to the legacy section and there you'll see blendspace 1d. Hope this helps
YO! If you are doing this currently (2024) and the player movement does not work.. In the ZombieGameMode details change 'Player Controller Class' to 'BP_FirstPersonPlayerController.' Dont know if its the correct way to fix it but it makes it work as of UE5.3
This video teaches you tons of stuff, clarifies, simplifies and answers common issues with blueprints, animations and meshes. I didn't watch to make a zombie game necessarily but to learn the processes. Thank you so much for this tutorial :D
@@opposites_fps2119 That's because you're using a *Multi* Line Trace, where as this video uses a single line trace. The Out Hit of a Multi Line Trace is an array instead of a single, which is why you can't plug it into the Point Damage node.
Great tutorial, i already finish this tutorial and no problem. But when i make a new level/ new map and copy the gamemode, the main widget works but the zombie left: and Wave 1/3 widget not show up. Can someone help?
19:21 If you can't find the "Add New State Machine" in the drop down menu, just type in "state machine" and then select it under "Animation > State Machines > State Machine". (At least it worked for me in UE 5.3.2)
To anyone struggling with an issue with the Zombies being stuck after being shot during their attack animation, I resolved the issue by adding an "IsAttacking?" check that's set to true after attacking the player, and returned to false after the damage output. Then the other check is set directly before the Hit-Damage animation for your zombie, if "IsAttacking" is true, it should skip the animation for being hit, since it needs to play the attack animation; and any interuption to that animation will bug your AI. The false for "IsAttacking", should play your hit animation as intended. I hope this helps someone out! Good luck with your games!
In Zombie BP find event where AI receives damage. From Zombie Hit Montage (at the end of script) drag out from "completed" and call "Run To Player" custom event.
hey Smart Poly just wanted to say that your content is amazing 10 out of 10! I just started in Unreal (From Scratch! Using your tutorials!) out of all of the channels and tutorials I've tried watching yours are the best BY FAR. You are really teaching me a lot bro and I just wanted to say thank you for what you do, you're a damn good instructor! Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to pay it forward but anyways You're awesome man! When I start filming and uploading devlogs for my new game to TH-cam I'll be sure to let everyone know Where I learned to gamedev "Smart Poly taught me". Much Love bro!!!!
If your gun is just shooting the zombies capsule collision and not actually the mesh there is a fix for it. Go into your zombie BP click capsule component, got to collision presets, make it custom, then under "trace responses" turn camera to ignore. With line trace by channel it is searching for collision to hit. We set our trace channel to "camera" in the tutorial. So the first thing our line trace hits from camera is the capsule collision. Setting it to ignore by camera will solve the issue. Took me like an hour to figure it out on my own.
If anyone had trouble with the player movement when restarting the level, you have to add in BP_FirstPersonCharacter, after setting the main widget ref a new node called Set Input Mode Game Only and add the player controller node to it. This is because when we show the death menu, we set the input mode UI only if i recall correctly and never set it back to what it should!
Just a note - if you are using 5.1, then currently (at time of writing this comment) Marketplace weapons is not available for 5.1. In this case, click add to project; select Show All Projects; when you get the asset not compat warning, select 5.0 from the Select Version dropdown, then you can add it to the project - should work just fine in 5.1.
U dont have to be sorry for using free/worse animations or other Assets. I think I am speaking for everyone here when I say we're very grateful for using free stuff to beginn with, and even more grateful for the lessons on how to use them... for free. Thank you so much.

I'm almost two hours in and so far this tutorial is the best UE tutorial I've done. It's so clear and easy to understand what's going on. Definitely recommend
This is the most BASIC and most HELPFULL guide for building a game i have EVER seen. I have been to 10 different channels for unity and unreal engine to help me build my first game which seemed to get me nowhere. But this video right here? Helped me get into building games and motivates me the most to get into game design. You have earned nothing but respect from me and I will be more than happy to support your content my dude. I am in the middle of buying a business and working through the legal stuff with that as well as my divorce, so life is hectic and this video just makes things so simple for me, and that helps me alot more than people might realize. Thank you Smart Poly, I appreciate you. Even though this 5 1/2 hour video took me 22 hours to replicate, it still helped me get onto my feet. 12/10

If you have issues with the headshot collision not working fully like myself, it's the capsule collision on the enemy BP. Go to Edit, project settings, engine, collision: create new channel called wtv, enemy collision channel, compile, set collision presets on zombie BP to custom, visibility to block, Camera to ignore & set your new enemy collision channel to ignore. Hope this helps anyone that comes across the same problem, took some finding!
Capsule Component Problems: So many people including me are having problems where the zombie gets stuck due to the capsule component of BP_Zombie What I did was I deleted the capsule component when the zombie dies. (I don't know if this is right but do let me know) 1) go to BP_Zombie 2) In zombie Death Logic, after the set collision enabled component I added a "destroy component" node and then attached the execution pic of "set collision enabled" to it and as target of the node, i dropped the capsule component from the left window (I dont know what it is called, but it has like the mesh components there)
@@fathom3014 Haha I stopped working on it almost the same time this video was released. I was very new to ue at that time so had done countless mistakes throughout the development and the game ended up being so unoptimized. But ive learned a lot since then and working on an open world rpg now ;)
I understand I understand this shouldn't have been my first tutorial I followed for making my first game, but the challenge of your speed and your ability to simply explain what was happening has me hooked on making games now. I'd love to send you the game I made following your tutorial and get your opinion and advice. Thank you for making this tutorial it was a fun challenge and now i understand blueprints way more. I'll definitely look around for the games you've made.
now this is a tutorial bro! Your time is MUCH appreciated smart poly!! I cant explain my frustration after watching other "tutorials" anyways, thank you man! never stop!
hey Smart, I fixed the problem where after you press the replay button the game doesn't let you control your character. But since i posted an image link I think my comment got removed. So the solution is go to your "mainwidget_w" and go to "On Clicked RetryButton" and plug "set input mode game only" node to "open level by name" node and then plug "get player controller" node to your "player controller" node in "set input mode game only". I don't know if this is the best way to fix it but it worked for me. As i said i posted an image link for this but it got removed for some reason.
may line trace is hitting the zombie capsule collider in the BP instead of the physics asset colliders so i cant get headshots to work, any suggestions?
One thing that many people do in these videos is skipping most parts and they are just showing some of the highlights. But you are not like them and you really give a lot of information (great content)
Can you plaese make a video showing how to add multiplayer! (Specifically to this game because I'm new to game development, and it would be really useful) It would really help me out, thanks
Absolutely amazing quality content and your teaching style is clear and easy to follow. If you did another like that, let's say 3rd person with maybe a bit of crafting as well I would definitely buy a course like that!
I have a question... If I try to add the Event Begin Play at 1:34 it takes me over to one near the player movement controller. I read that there can only be one "Event Begin Play". Any help?
One of the absolutely best UE5 tutorials on youtube. Easy to follow with detailed explanation of every step. Great teaching skills too! I don't know if it was done on purpose when you were planning the tutorial, but there is plenty of repetion of various basic steps and mechanics throughout the video that accelerate the learning process and help you understand almost every basic concept of UE5. Yes you may end up with some bugs after finishing the tutorial, but you can find most of the fixes in the comments of this video, or figure them out on your own. Thank you for this tutorial!
I used the concept of hoarding sound for my game which is kind of similar to this one, except the hoarding sound won't stop after the zombie dies and I didn't apply destroy actor in my zombie blueprint, I just simulated physics on the mesh so it just drops on the ground... Any fixes for that???
Great tutorial. For someone who played with UE4 for about a year some time ago and now coming back to new UE5 this was a great refresher. All I have left to do now is design a decent looking level, add some more drops, possibly a boss wave, score/stats recording (eg %of headshots / shots fired) All in all, if you are new to Unreal Engine and looking for solid start, this is the video for you. Use comments (shortcut "C") to comment absolutely everything, use colors on comments if that's something that works for you. Put comments explaining how things work (or how you think they work/should work). This will help you massively along the way when you game scripts get bigger and more complicated. That way you will be able to go back and read you own words and understand what could go wrong. Print node is good too for debug, especially with more complicated scripts where there are multiple routes to follow. Few problems had along the way that I managed to fix one way or the other. I have also changed a few things for my own preference. - zombie stopping after attacking/getting close to player My Solution: missing a Run to Player function (custom event) after playing montage in your zombie blueprint - no wave 1 start info My Solution: In game mode blueprint at BeginPlay added a two second delay and replaced "Start Game" with "Wave Start". Delay in order to avoid access none error, due to one of the variables required in "Wave Start" not being set right away (when game starts) - no registering headshots when shooting zombie from behind or sides My Solution: Not sure if I just missed it in the tutorial but all I had to do was go to Zombie BP and change collision settings on capsule component to custom and ticking box ignore camera. - Removed shooting with left mouse when not aiming. I did this because if you just shoot without aiming it does look a bit funny. You can only shoot when aiming. - Added sprinting and crouching without anything fancy like crouch zoom. - When you mag is empty and you try to shoot again it will trigger reload without pressing "R" (I'm lazy) - Replaced "hard coded" spawn points for zombies with "spawner" blueprint instead. That way I can spawn multiple zombies in set area without them all spawning at one point or on top of each other. This becomes an issue with more then 3 waves as zombies end up glitching into one another or stacking up - Added bonus ammo after each round based on how much ammo is left over multiplied by set value, I might use this as a difficulty setting later on (harder the game, less ammo you get) Thank you Smart Poly for this upload. Cheers!
5.4.2 Step by step instructions followed. 1hr 22mins 54sec into the video shows the reveal of zombie attack montage working. Mine does not work at all. For a brief moment it looks like it might be trying to do something, but inevitably ends up on the idle/run pose until I run away. Edit: Adjusting Acceptance Radius to 90 seems to be a temp fix.
First time and video using unreal engine (excluding ones where I see what others made) but screw it let's dive right in. Always wanted to make a zombie game. I'm tracking here for my own enjoyment and reference Edit I am 12 minutes in and I've learned more here than I could have thought thank you so much I'm taking breaks inbetween because my ADHD won't allow me to focus right now at 4:24 AM lol 4:51AM 19 mins in and I screwed up errors Oh God. Skipped back and fixed! thanks 20 minutes in I love how logical it all is I am a very logical person so that's great for me! 6:32 AM 23 mins in damn it actually works despite my closing and when reopening having to deal with some bug fixes it works! 8:38AM 41 mins in. WOW this is so great and so logical I love it the idea that it's as simple as press and release is great I love your content so much now this part in the section that will make me or break me. IT worked well kinda, damn it the camera proportions are off because I accidently knocked the camera earlier but it's not a huge issue. 44:10 this whole thing really makes me appricate gaming more 57:10 the next day it is 8:19 I really am loving this it's so awesome everything is working! now I get to add zombies!!!!!!!!! This is all I ever wanted to do in a game!
Encountered a glitch that was only visible for a slight frame in this video. When shooting zombies during their attack animation, they freeze up and no longer attack. There’s also a glitch where sometimes a shot will not register on the zombie, so when the killing shot is made, a prompt saying “-20” pops up instead of 0, meaning it took an extra shot. How would I go about fixing both of these issues?
I fixed the freeze on attack glitch in a 2 different ways. First one is that in your BP_Zombie Blueprint go to zombie attack logic, you will se a play montage(zombie_attack_montage) there is a node called "on interrupted" in that montage, plug it in the "run to player" or "attack player" event and zombie will either attack you or run to you after the attack animation gets cancelled. this is the most simple way but i found a better way to do it. Create a new variable inside your BP_Zombie and call it IsAttacking? and set it to boolean. Inside your BP_Zombie there is a custom event called "attack player" inside "attack player logic". "Set IsAttacking?" variable to true and plug it in the AttackPlayer event and to your "play montage" node. At the end of the same attack "player logic" you will see a node called "apply damage" plug in the "Set IsAttacking?" variable and set it to false. After that go to the "apply damage to zombie logic" in your BP_Zombie blueprint. At the end of that logic you will se a branch true is hooked to the "Death event", false is hooked to the play montage event. break the link between false and play montage, put another branch after false and connect "get IsAttacking?" to the condition of the second branch. and after that connect the second branch false node to play montage node. and it will fix the problem, your hitreaction animation will no longer interrupt zombie attack animation. I hope its clear for you sorry if i mixed up my explanation a little bit, i just started learning unreal 2 days ago.

Great tutorial, i already finish this tutorial and no problem. But when i make a new level/ new map and copy the gamemode, the main widget works but the zombie left: and Wave 1/3 widget not show up. Can someone help?
So during the "creating a game mode class" section, when I start my game the zombies spawn, but do not chase the player, they just stand in an idle animation. If i place a zombie in the map then the AI works and it chases me, but spawning it using ZombieBaseMode BP is spawning the zombie without the AI it seems. I can still kill them and the blood FX still appears. My BP are identical to the video. Im on 5.1, any ideas?
I've done a ton of tutorials for different Adobe software and Blender. Now that I am getting into Unreal Engine, I have to say this tutorial is awesome. Doing is so much better than sitting through over-explanations that go in one ear and out the other. Beginner tutorials should not be 45 minutes of boring content that the beginner knowns nothing about. This tutorial gets you straight into making something and focuses on the task at hand. So good! Thanks for taking the time to make this, trimming all the fat, and making the process more fun and less arduous.
Absolutely insane, really good tutorial, shows all the little details, one little thing that happened to me was my aiming didn't work, but it won't really effect my game that much.
Hey man! Thanks for the awesome video! Im having trouble at 3:12:50 where the zombies will spawn but will not move. However when I place a zombie manually ( which isnt being spanwed ) the zombie will behave correctly and move towrads the character. Please help :)
Ok I got it. I did a little bit of googling and what worked for me is going to the zombie blueprint. In the Upper left make sure you have your "BP_Zombie (Self)" selected. Then on the right, in the DETAILS tab, search for "Auto Possess AI" and set it to "Placed In World or Spawned", that should do the trick.

i just want to say this is one of the most helpful, educational, easy to follow and listen to video i have seen. Plus it was exactly what i was looking for. Thank you!
Great tutorial so far, but at 1:23:29 I am having an issue. the zombie wont attack me when I am stood in front of them, but will attack me when I am stood above them. If anyone knows what might be causing this then and how to fix it then that would be a great help. I think that it may be something to do with the first person player collision.
I found the solution when u put the play montage node the skeltal mesh componenet shouldnt be connected to mesh but to zombiegirl mesh from the componenets tab
thanks alot :D I am big fan ... the freez which happened to zombie . I think in attack player / play montage when i connect on completed and on interrupted to run to player fixes the freezing bug
Currently working on a zombie game, and this video helped out, and taught me a ton! If I were to want the pistol to be droppable/ collectible, how would I go about doing that? Would it automatically snap back into the players hand correctly if I got it set up?
I'm new to Unreal but in general there is a different gun made just for pickup-action with physics and collision enabled, so when you press the pickup key you detect the gun type and enable the camera version of that gun
i cant thank you enough. All I used of your tutorial was for the weapon firing: i was trying to make my gun shoot using the animBP which did not work well. When the firing animation would play, it would be interrupted when the firing key was released, and a delay caused some really glitchy overlapping. I have been trying to fix this for days. Every other tutorial did not explain this, because none of them used an animation and just made the gun and arms move
1:35:44 - spent an hour going back to figure out what I did wrong, then the very next thing you say is "I did something wrong". Patience is not my strong suit.
Thank you so much man, I just have two questions: 1. I would like to add 2 more spawn points for the zombie, is there a way I could do this? 2. I am having an issue where if I shoot a zombie once it counts as it being dead and takes it away from the counter, how would I fix this? Thank you again!
@@gumbo144 You just need to add another two spawn points as shown on the video and then add two more loops. However I decided to use spawner instead. An Actor that can be placed anywhere in the world and it will spawn zombies in random point inside the "spawner"
Everything was fine until the "Animation length 0.958 is not compatible with import frame-rate 30 fps (sub frame 0.75), animation has to be frame-border aligned." error when I was trying to import the zombie girl. I looked for a solution but found nothing. I'm new at these things and stuck on this part. 😭
I had the exact problem but fixed it. Problem was 1 step before that zombie girl download when I shortened those pistol animations (aimfire and idlefire one) I over done it/made those too short so Unreal engine couldn't use them properly. I drag and dropped those 2 "green" anims again in my project like before so they became full lenght again. Shortened them exactly like he does in this video, made new montages and problem was solved.
Hi Grate Work Sir ,,,, i have problem when i drag the zombie_bp to the scene it work , but when i spawn it's throu the game mode it spawn only the mesh , no movment no follow player no any thing , thank you sir for understanding ❤❤
Just so you know a couple details are a little out of date! such as blend space 1d being in legacy now, and the first person game tutorial having it's own animations
zombie doesnt move with this AI Move To. not sure where i went wrong but followed exactly. Zombie just stands there doing the idle pose. Obviously im missing something unless its just a bug im encountering but if anyone can help that'd be cool.
nvm, for whatever reason, I unhooked all the nodes and put them back and now it works. seriously beyond confused and annoyed it took me 1 hour to troubleshoot that. but even happier being a complete noob and being able to figure it out made me happy!

@@DonMatek I fixed it but now the zombies stay still after I shoot them which he fixed in the video but his fix didn't work for me and I don't even know what could be causing that
@@BruceWaynge Have a look as some comments below, this one comes up a lot. Everyone has this issue but there is a simple fix if you understand the code. Zombie is staying still because after playing "pain" animation, this zombie is never instructed to resume chasing player.
Brilliant tutorial! massive respect to you for doing this! -I have a problem though :( My zombie reaction is delayed, it attacks me but only after a few seconds of idle. - can't figure out why.. anyone know, let me know please cause i know it's a simple fix but it's gonna stress me out lol. - AND IT WAS - I used unreal engine 5.4 to make this and the 'acceptance radious' isn't 40... it's 100.. so change it from 40 to 100. - it'll work then.
5.4.2 Step by step instructions followed. the projectile does not hit where expected. it is consistently off. Changing any elevation royally screws with accuracy even more.
I was conducting an experiment before you taught the ""AI move to "" node. I discovered that when it successfully reaches the player, it stops. So, I attached the "run to player" event upon success. After observing it, I decided I didn't want that, so I removed the "run to player" behavior upon success. However, the zombie is still chasing the player. What should I do?
This will be my first foray into game development, and I'm very excited. I already have a full idea and I hope this will help! You're awesome for making this btw!
hello there i'll love it if you could come back to this wave thing and make it better cause i followed everything shown here and the only issue that remains no matter what is the zombies stuck on each other when spawned i change the spawn handling thing to every options no fix change the size of the zombies no fix even made the area where they spawn bigger nope no fix the only way for this to work 100% is to do an random reachable point thing but to do that and WORK 100% i'll have to make an actor for it. I've spent over 4 days an week most of the time making an bunker level for this and now i have to make another level for this to NEARLY WORK that's 4 days i'll never get back it's like Game of thrones most of it is great then out of nowhere it just crumbles while i'll be naive thinking it will fix itself. I know it will never always go your way but it's just frustrating seeing it went well for others this frustration isn't all about this video but many others that either waste my time not working or breaking something that'll never work again no matter what i do

To anyone struggling with an issue with the Zombies being stuck after being shot during their attack animation, I resolved the issue by adding an "IsAttacking?" check that's set to true after attacking the player, and returned to false after the damage output. Then the other check is set directly before the Hit-Damage animation for your zombie, if "IsAttacking" is true, it should skip the animation for being hit, since it needs to play the attack animation; and any interuption to that animation will bug your AI. The false for "IsAttacking", should play your hit animation as intended.
I hope this helps someone out! Good luck with your games!
In Zombie BP find event where AI receives damage. From Zombie Hit Montage (at the end of script) drag out from "completed" and call "Run To Player" custom event.
hey Smart Poly just wanted to say that your content is amazing 10 out of 10! I just started in Unreal (From Scratch! Using your tutorials!) out of all of the channels and tutorials I've tried watching yours are the best BY FAR. You are really teaching me a lot bro and I just wanted to say thank you for what you do, you're a damn good instructor! Hopefully someday soon I'll be able to pay it forward but anyways You're awesome man! When I start filming and uploading devlogs for my new game to TH-cam I'll be sure to let everyone know Where I learned to gamedev "Smart Poly taught me". Much Love bro!!!!
Hard agree with this. Sometimes after spending days watching tuts you come across one guy and you just know these are the ones.
If your gun is just shooting the zombies capsule collision and not actually the mesh there is a fix for it. Go into your zombie BP click capsule component, got to collision presets, make it custom, then under "trace responses" turn camera to ignore.
With line trace by channel it is searching for collision to hit. We set our trace channel to "camera" in the tutorial. So the first thing our line trace hits from camera is the capsule collision. Setting it to ignore by camera will solve the issue. Took me like an hour to figure it out on my own.
Thank you so much!! You really helped me, im doing this in unreal 5.2 and i thought thats why
I've been trying to figure this out for a while now! Thank you so much pal
for some reason trace responses shows up blank and I cannot edit it, how can i fix this?
bro thank you so much! save my day

If anyone had trouble with the player movement when restarting the level, you have to add in BP_FirstPersonCharacter, after setting the main widget ref a new node called Set Input Mode Game Only and add the player controller node to it. This is because when we show the death menu, we set the input mode UI only if i recall correctly and never set it back to what it should!
found the solution on the epic dev community forum and the post its called: "The character doesn’t move after i hit retry" (Can't post the link)

I'm almost two hours in and so far this tutorial is the best UE tutorial I've done. It's so clear and easy to understand what's going on. Definitely recommend
This is the most BASIC and most HELPFULL guide for building a game i have EVER seen. I have been to 10 different channels for unity and unreal engine to help me build my first game which seemed to get me nowhere. But this video right here? Helped me get into building games and motivates me the most to get into game design. You have earned nothing but respect from me and I will be more than happy to support your content my dude. I am in the middle of buying a business and working through the legal stuff with that as well as my divorce, so life is hectic and this video just makes things so simple for me, and that helps me alot more than people might realize. Thank you Smart Poly, I appreciate you. Even though this 5 1/2 hour video took me 22 hours to replicate, it still helped me get onto my feet. 12/10
Do you know why non of my montages seem to be working? im stuck :C

Great tutorial, i already finish this tutorial and no problem. But when i make a new level/ new map and copy the gamemode, the main widget works but the zombie left: and Wave 1/3 widget not show up. Can someone help?
@@12ninjababies It's spam, don't engage. Considering they aren't active with posts, it's probably a hacked account gaining real attention before it gets converted into the next porn bot.
If you have issues with the headshot collision not working fully like myself, it's the capsule collision on the enemy BP. Go to Edit, project settings, engine, collision: create new channel called wtv, enemy collision channel, compile, set collision presets on zombie BP to custom, visibility to block, Camera to ignore & set your new enemy collision channel to ignore.
Hope this helps anyone that comes across the same problem, took some finding!
Capsule Component Problems:
So many people including me are having problems where the zombie gets stuck due to the capsule component of BP_Zombie
What I did was I deleted the capsule component when the zombie dies. (I don't know if this is right but do let me know)
1) go to BP_Zombie
2) In zombie Death Logic, after the set collision enabled component I added a "destroy component" node and then attached the execution pic of "set collision enabled" to it and as target of the node, i dropped the capsule component from the left window (I dont know what it is called, but it has like the mesh components there)
just finished the tutorial Extremely grateful for you and the time you spent making this. hope to keep learning from your videos in the future
I'm currently working on a zombie game too ;) This'll definitely help me a lot! Thanks so much 👍👍

I understand I understand this shouldn't have been my first tutorial I followed for making my first game, but the challenge of your speed and your ability to simply explain what was happening has me hooked on making games now. I'd love to send you the game I made following your tutorial and get your opinion and advice. Thank you for making this tutorial it was a fun challenge and now i understand blueprints way more. I'll definitely look around for the games you've made.
its a really great first tutorial. I did the same :)
now this is a tutorial bro! Your time is MUCH appreciated smart poly!! I cant explain my frustration after watching other "tutorials" anyways, thank you man! never stop!
hey Smart, I fixed the problem where after you press the replay button the game doesn't let you control your character. But since i posted an image link I think my comment got removed. So the solution is go to your "mainwidget_w" and go to "On Clicked RetryButton" and plug "set input mode game only" node to "open level by name" node and then plug "get player controller" node to your "player controller" node in "set input mode game only". I don't know if this is the best way to fix it but it worked for me. As i said i posted an image link for this but it got removed for some reason.
Thanks it helped me out and saved me a headache!

I watch the full video, it was very informative but, too much casting and branching is not very performance optimazied espcecially for beginners..

Absolutely amazing quality content and your teaching style is clear and easy to follow. If you did another like that, let's say 3rd person with maybe a bit of crafting as well I would definitely buy a course like that!
I have a question... If I try to add the Event Begin Play at 1:34 it takes me over to one near the player movement controller. I read that there can only be one "Event Begin Play". Any help?
One of the absolutely best UE5 tutorials on youtube. Easy to follow with detailed explanation of every step. Great teaching skills too!
I don't know if it was done on purpose when you were planning the tutorial, but there is plenty of repetion of various basic steps and mechanics throughout the video that accelerate the learning process and help you understand almost every basic concept of UE5.
Yes you may end up with some bugs after finishing the tutorial, but you can find most of the fixes in the comments of this video, or figure them out on your own.
Thank you for this tutorial!
yea exactly
I used the concept of hoarding sound for my game which is kind of similar to this one, except the hoarding sound won't stop after the zombie dies and I didn't apply destroy actor in my zombie blueprint, I just simulated physics on the mesh so it just drops on the ground... Any fixes for that???
Great tutorial. For someone who played with UE4 for about a year some time ago and now coming back to new UE5 this was a great refresher. All I have left to do now is design a decent looking level, add some more drops, possibly a boss wave, score/stats recording (eg %of headshots / shots fired)
All in all, if you are new to Unreal Engine and looking for solid start, this is the video for you. Use comments (shortcut "C") to comment absolutely everything, use colors on comments if that's something that works for you. Put comments explaining how things work (or how you think they work/should work). This will help you massively along the way when you game scripts get bigger and more complicated. That way you will be able to go back and read you own words and understand what could go wrong. Print node is good too for debug, especially with more complicated scripts where there are multiple routes to follow.
Few problems had along the way that I managed to fix one way or the other. I have also changed a few things for my own preference.
- zombie stopping after attacking/getting close to player
My Solution: missing a Run to Player function (custom event) after playing montage in your zombie blueprint
- no wave 1 start info
My Solution: In game mode blueprint at BeginPlay added a two second delay and replaced "Start Game" with "Wave Start". Delay in order to avoid access none error, due to one of the variables required in "Wave Start" not being set right away (when game starts)
- no registering headshots when shooting zombie from behind or sides
My Solution: Not sure if I just missed it in the tutorial but all I had to do was go to Zombie BP and change collision settings on capsule component to custom and ticking box ignore camera.
- Removed shooting with left mouse when not aiming. I did this because if you just shoot without aiming it does look a bit funny. You can only shoot when aiming.
- Added sprinting and crouching without anything fancy like crouch zoom.
- When you mag is empty and you try to shoot again it will trigger reload without pressing "R" (I'm lazy)
- Replaced "hard coded" spawn points for zombies with "spawner" blueprint instead. That way I can spawn multiple zombies in set area without them all spawning at one point or on top of each other. This becomes an issue with more then 3 waves as zombies end up glitching into one another or stacking up
- Added bonus ammo after each round based on how much ammo is left over multiplied by set value, I might use this as a difficulty setting later on (harder the game, less ammo you get)
Thank you Smart Poly for this upload. Cheers!

@@AbverKid bro is a life saver thank you so much i have been trying to fix this for 1 hour i can't thank you enough bro!
Encountered a glitch that was only visible for a slight frame in this video. When shooting zombies during their attack animation, they freeze up and no longer attack. There’s also a glitch where sometimes a shot will not register on the zombie, so when the killing shot is made, a prompt saying “-20” pops up instead of 0, meaning it took an extra shot. How would I go about fixing both of these issues?
I've also encountered the same glitch and also when I press the retry button I can no longer control my character
I fixed the freeze on attack glitch in a 2 different ways. First one is that in your BP_Zombie Blueprint go to zombie attack logic, you will se a play montage(zombie_attack_montage) there is a node called "on interrupted" in that montage, plug it in the "run to player" or "attack player" event and zombie will either attack you or run to you after the attack animation gets cancelled. this is the most simple way but i found a better way to do it. Create a new variable inside your BP_Zombie and call it IsAttacking? and set it to boolean. Inside your BP_Zombie there is a custom event called "attack player" inside "attack player logic". "Set IsAttacking?" variable to true and plug it in the AttackPlayer event and to your "play montage" node. At the end of the same attack "player logic" you will see a node called "apply damage" plug in the "Set IsAttacking?" variable and set it to false. After that go to the "apply damage to zombie logic" in your BP_Zombie blueprint. At the end of that logic you will se a branch true is hooked to the "Death event", false is hooked to the play montage event. break the link between false and play montage, put another branch after false and connect "get IsAttacking?" to the condition of the second branch. and after that connect the second branch false node to play montage node. and it will fix the problem, your hitreaction animation will no longer interrupt zombie attack animation. I hope its clear for you sorry if i mixed up my explanation a little bit, i just started learning unreal 2 days ago.

You need to add the NavMeshBoundsVolume and size it to your map.
I've done a ton of tutorials for different Adobe software and Blender. Now that I am getting into Unreal Engine, I have to say this tutorial is awesome. Doing is so much better than sitting through over-explanations that go in one ear and out the other.

Ok I got it. I did a little bit of googling and what worked for me is going to the zombie blueprint. In the Upper left make sure you have your "BP_Zombie (Self)" selected. Then on the right, in the DETAILS tab, search for "Auto Possess AI" and set it to "Placed In World or Spawned", that should do the trick.

i cant thank you enough. All I used of your tutorial was for the weapon firing: i was trying to make my gun shoot using the animBP which did not work well. When the firing animation would play, it would be interrupted when the firing key was released, and a delay caused some really glitchy overlapping. I have been trying to fix this for days. Every other tutorial did not explain this, because none of them used an animation and just made the gun and arms move
1:35:44 - spent an hour going back to figure out what I did wrong, then the very next thing you say is "I did something wrong". Patience is not my strong suit.

@@BruceWaynge Have a look as some comments below, this one comes up a lot. Everyone has this issue but there is a simple fix if you understand the code.
Zombie is staying still because after playing "pain" animation, this zombie is never instructed to resume chasing player.
Finally!!!...I have completed my game....thank you soo much for the video....
Brilliant tutorial! massive respect to you for doing this! -I have a problem though :( My zombie reaction is delayed, it attacks me but only after a few seconds of idle. - can't figure out why.. anyone know, let me know please cause i know it's a simple fix but it's gonna stress me out lol. - AND IT WAS - I used unreal engine 5.4 to make this and the 'acceptance radious' isn't 40... it's 100.. so change it from 40 to 100. - it'll work then.
5.4.2 Step by step instructions followed. the projectile does not hit where expected. it is consistently off. Changing any elevation royally screws with accuracy even more.
I was conducting an experiment before you taught the ""AI move to "" node. I discovered that when it successfully reaches the player, it stops. So, I attached the "run to player" event upon success. After observing it, I decided I didn't want that, so I removed the "run to player" behavior upon success. However, the zombie is still chasing the player. What should I do?
Im getting a issue while spawning the actor near 3.10.40, The zombie isnt chasing the player! what to do?
This will be my first foray into game development, and I'm very excited. I already have a full idea and I hope this will help! You're awesome for making this btw!
hello there i'll love it if you could come back to this wave thing and make it better cause i followed everything shown here and the only issue that remains no matter what is the zombies stuck on each other when spawned i change the spawn handling thing to every options no fix change the size of the zombies no fix even made the area where they spawn bigger nope no fix the only way for this to work 100% is to do an random reachable point thing but to do that and WORK 100% i'll have to make an actor for it. I've spent over 4 days an week most of the time making an bunker level for this and now i have to make another level for this to NEARLY WORK that's 4 days i'll never get back it's like Game of thrones most of it is great then out of nowhere it just crumbles while i'll be naive thinking it will fix itself.
I know it will never always go your way but it's just frustrating seeing it went well for others this frustration isn't all about this video but many others that either waste my time not working or breaking something that'll never work again no matter what i do
if anyone wants to add a sound effect health is below 50% just REPLY "NEED" OVER HERE and i will share it with you
