@gbnricho9331yeah bro is that a problem I mean I was told to make something like this and I didn't know how to do it so I found this tutorial if I didn't do it I would have been fired 😭😭😭
Yo! I'm about to go crazy over this... I'm pretty new to UE. I first tried this in UE5 and it was a total failure (the animBP & event graphs look wayyy different with the new "Manny & Quinn" characters and looks like they have drivers for each limb, so I bailed) so I figured maybe I could get it working in UE4 since that's what you're using in the video. So, here's my problem: I'm trying to use a set of animations that I added to a new project (called "superhero animset" ... they're not from mixamo, I bought 'em a while back in the UE marketplace). That now exists in it's own folder within the project. Then, I've got my 'ThirdPerson Character' and my 'ThirdPerson AnimBP' windows that I can open, BUT they each exist in separate folders inside the content browser ('character' is in a 'ThirdPersonBP' folder & 'Anim BP' is under 'Mannequin > animations' ... I'm not sure if this matters or not). I opened up the Character within ThirdPersonBP & added the E key event, connected Play Montage and dragged the mesh, then connected it just like you did in the video. Easy. Then, went to the animation that I imported into the project, created a montage, then found the ThirdPerson AnimBP (even though I don't understand why I couldn't access the AnimBP from within the same window that the Event Graph is in if it's supposedly the same character ... ? but whatever - ), opened it up and created the Default Slot, and connected it. EASY. Went back to the Event Graph & under Play Montage, selected my animation, and figured I was done.... NOPE!!!! Absolutely nothing happens when I press 'E' while playing the game. All the existing 'w, a, s, d, jump' functions work like before, but it just won't play the montage. There's no way it's this complicated???
I totally feel you on the complicated part of things. I've been there, I get you. Once you overcome this though, you'll feel amazing and be able to accomplish soooo many more things What it sounds like to me is that you set everything up properly, and it's okay for animations to be in different folders. The issue may lie in the fact that the anim pack you bought may have animations paired up to a skeleton in the pack. So technically, your default character that you set up the 'e' key has it's own skeleton (default project skeleton) but the animations have their own as well. Granted, they're the same skeleton in terms of bones and everything, but they're separated. What I like to do if that's the case, is delete the skeleton that the pack comes with, and you'll get a window pop up saying all the animations are going to lose their skeleton, but you'll have a drop-down on the bottom left that says 'replace' and you can select the project default skeleton and then all the animations will now work with your default mannequin and the 'e' input will work This took me foreeevverrrrr to figure out at first. Once I did, everything became much easier to work with. Let me know if this solves your issue or not! I'll definitely make a video on this because I forgot about figuring this out!
@DYLOGaming You are such a legend for taking the time to walk me through that! I'm not at my PC, but I'll definitely try this later tonight. This makes total sense. I feel like getting the hang of the rigs/skeletons & animations in UE will open up a whole new world for me. Thanks, G!
@@derekwaters8683 You're very welcome my dude. Trust me, I know the struggle and wished I could get replies from people to help me out. That's part of why I started uploading my tutorials. Aside from helping me remember things if I ever forget, but to also solve issues as quickly as possible, especially when issues come off as more complicated than they really should be
Thanks but why i dont have state machine in anim graph its just output pose I have downloaded aiming gun animation for female from mixamo Animation happens buy pressing e but bones aren't moving
So if they aren't using an anim BP, I believe if you use the "Play Animation" node, then you can have the character play an animation, but they it has less flexibility than "Play Montage." Play Montage is better because you can stop, or interrupt the current montage for another one based on multiple conditions; like if an anim notify is triggered, or a variety of others.
I'm not too sure as I haven't worked with Unity, but here's how I'd explain it (and plan on making a video covering it as well) Base animations are "Animation Sequences." Those are mainly used for animation blueprints for looping states like walking, running, etc. Animations like attacking that play once, are modified versions of sequences (basically right clicking & creating montage from sequence) and allow for triggers and other things to be added to it to help build more gameplay logic off of it So you can add markers on the animation montages so things like audio, effects, other animations, or even gameplay logic like damage, happens at certain points. That's the only real difference, but tbh, idk why the base animation sequences don't just have that as a thing you can do by themselves
Yeah... My problem really is: What about different animations depending on equipped item? ;) Knife attack is different from Sword attack, Pistol attack is different from Rifle etc... I can see that ending up overly complex, especially when we take different stances (standing, kneeling, prone) into account. I´m so scared of that topic that I´m thinking of purchasing something like "Modern RPG" system (200 bucks) so I can just skip that, but then again I´m scared it won´t help me as much as I´m thinking :) Is it really that complex or am I (again) thinking too complicated?
I totally feel you on that. I will put out a tutorial on this soon as someone requested a tutorial series from me the other day and this topic would definitely be on the list 😎 It’s something really easy to accomplish (other devs make it difficult in my opinion) and I’ll show how to do it quick & easy 👌🏻
@@DYLOGaming that´d be totally awesome. I´m not sure, but after looking around, you´d be probably the first :) Can´t find a coherent, well comprehensible guide on that topic that just clicks, you know.. well, thanks in advance :)
Yeah I got you! Before I get it out, what may help is something I've noticed, which is that out of the "Control Rig" node, instead of it being plugged into "Output" or whatever the last default thing is, drag off the output and type "Default" and a suggestion for default slot should show up From there, it'll plug in and end. Then, out of the final result, pull left, and type "Default" and it should say like "used cache default slot" and hit enter From there, it should work! Issues I've noticed stem from the "Control Rig" node (which is why I always delete it) and do the same steps I just mentioned, but without the control rig. Lmk if it helps!! I'll try to get the vid out for it soon 😎👌🏻
@@DYLOGaming thanks for the suggestion, and I don't know if this is right or not but in the control rig part I think it said select and I pressed that. It let me select the animation and now when I press the key for the animation to play it works, and I don't know if that a correct way to do it or not. (Edit) But either way you helped out a lot more than other vids I watched.
Hey, it's urgent, I have a glitch where the part of "create an anim montage" is glitched, the menu is half covered by the end of the screen, someone help pls
Yes, absolutely. Technically, the player is actually able to continue moving throughout the animation. You have to either blend the animation so that the legs move independently of the top-half, or disable movement of the player during the animation
@@DYLOGaming Kinda I just made a press key and from pressed made it play Animation in my character blueprint. And then it just floats around world but it’s idle a animation still plays.
Hm, I’m trying to figure out what would be the cause. So after the anim play, your character won’t play walking/running/jumping animations when it’s done with the button pressed anim?
Yo! Sorry for the delay. Get similar animations for free here www.mixamo.com/#/?page=1&type=Motion%2CMotionPack You can then easily retarget them for the mannequins in UE5! Otherwise, you can make them using the Control Rig & sequencer. I'll make a video on this when I get a chance because I make my animations sometimes and it's really fun. Plus free!
It depends on a few things. If your animation is using root motion and the hitbox is linked to the mesh/capsule then it should. But if your character is moving forward (just the mesh animating) but the capsule is in place, then the hitbox would be following whatever it's linked to I hope I explained that good 🤔
