Learn how to setup a Root Motion System in Unreal Engine 4 with Blueprints. We will cover in this tutorial the ThirdPersonCharacter Blueprint setup and how to actually calculate the relative input direction from the camera to the player's forward vector resulting in a correct -180 to 180 degree direction float.
In the next tutorial we will plug the direction float into our Animation Blueprint which we will use to actually drive our animation system.

Came for the tutorial, stayed for the dance party.
Who knew roblox studio was an engine???
I did everything exactly like you do, but I have a problem with the start walking animations. I will try to describe the problem, if my first animation is for example start walking 180, after stopping the character and trying to start running again my character runs start walking 180 in either direction.
Did u fix it yet? I have the same problem
Input axis events are triggered every frame, so your tick event is not needed just link both(or just one of the) input events to set direction.
www.unrealengine.com/en-US/blog/input-action-and-axis-mappings-in-ue4
"In both C++ and Blueprints, Axis events will fire every frame passing the current value of the Axis while Action events will have the Pressed and Released outputs fire as the key(s) are pressed."
Trying to remake this on UE5 and most things work but when I start moving and then stop my Speed (anim) value never goes back to 0, even if my inputs are at 0, so the character doesn't go back to idle. Only difference I can see is that I'm using the new enhanced inputs system Anyone has any idea how to fix that?
If anyone has the same problem I fixed the issue by getting a second set of EnhancedInputAction for Move Forward/Right and setting the inputs X and Z to 0 when the input is "Completed" : )
Alt+click to break connections and cntl+click to drag the connection to another node
Is it possible to do this video without the music in the background? For those like me with a hearing issue it causes a lot of problems. Thanks
Why X and Z? Z is up in Unreal...
15:28 wut?
You cant have more than 1 event tick per class\bp and even if you were to have 2 (as you already doing with every axis input event) they would cost the same as one with sequence cause it's basically the same thing.
Quick check, doesn't that setup make it so that you actually travel faster diagonally? (A vector of 1,1 being larger than 1,0)
Or is that handled somewhere else?
We are going to handle this in the animation blueprint. 👍🏼 We are basically going to clamp the values and then do a bit of math to get the correct values for our animation blendspace.
Love your system, mine is setup and running good. I just need to optimize my allow rotations to smooth out everything. I attempted to create a weapon state today with a blendspace. Not a 1 D because I need input direction to strafe. I have everything setup and functioning but my character is not moving correctly. A tutorial on a strafe blendspace with your root motion setup would be amazing.
Great tutorial but you can just use the calculate Direction function 😁
But in order to work you need to get the anim instance from the character mesh it wont work otherwise...
But it was still a very good tutorial and i will watch the second part of the tutorial as well 😁
thank you so much for sharing this !!
Great bro Thanks a lot for sharing this
create a custom event that fires an timer by event looping at every .01 delta seconds bind your event that you want to happen every frame there you can use the get input vector function so you dont have to run it on the same graph either. makes the code cleaner and all you have to do with the base code is set your inputx/z floats before add movement input. also the add forward movement input is on event tick instead of on forward input pressed which needs corrected.
has anyone gotten strafe blendspaces to work with this? filmstorm ive emailed you multiple times....
I’m having this issue right now. Anyone have the answer?
I've been looking for this type of animation and I didn't know what it was called
Did everything you did but my debug direction shows -180 when going backwards and remains at 0 while going forwards.
Thats How It Should Be When U Go Forward Only InputZ Goes To 1
Thanks for explanation
Why did you use get control rotation instead of get actor location? thanks in advance
The problem with my animation, is when i root it. it just keep on floating except for the idle
Any suggestions... ? any help will be much appreciated.
Hi guys, very beautiful animations. It will be greate if you add strafes to you walk, jog and sprint sets
Why did you change the walk speed to 550? Is there any specific reason why it got to be 550?
There's not.
me thinking : why tf does he jog like an old man 😂
Hey man how can we make this kind player rotation in unity please help 🙂
Wonderful pack. I can't wait until the cover/hiding/sneaking implementation :)
Thanks for feedback! Please let us know if you need any other types of animations as well. :)
Would be an amazing addition if there was a female version. There's an obvious lack of female animations on the market. Also, object interaction is always welcome (push/pull, pickup/drop etc)
Can someone tell me what is the difference between root motion and in place animations? Thanks a lot!
Hi Bryan, Root Motion is when you physically move the root bone of a character around the world, you can then use this “root motion” to translate the character. In Place Motion is when the character remains in place and is animated usually doesn’t have a root bone and the hip is usually the one that’s animated. 👍🏼
@@Filmstorm thanks man!
Do you have a tutorial for UE4 on using IK's to deal with foot placement?
Not yet Tim, although I’m working on one 👍🏼
@@Filmstorm That's awesome to hear!
The easiest way to do this is to use the dragon iK plugin! Highly recommended!
This is awesome! I had been looking for a good animation tutorial and stumbled across this. You should add 'animation' to the title or something. Wish I had found this weeks ago. Oh, and thank you for taking the time to upload this; so many marketplace content contributors don't provided tutorials.
I have a very challenging question I have a moose that has both IP animation and RM that I bought online only thing is for unreal the RM does not works its there but none working this is what the seller told me ( Hello! Unfortunately, to work in UE4, you need to redo the animation of the root movement in the original Blender3D file There is no other way to fix it.) would any one know how to fix? would be very helpful.
thanks, this is what was needed!
Before I start following this tutorial, will it work on multiplayer and AI together?
Definitely, it will function well with both of these requirements. 👍🏼
@@Filmstorm Then I will start it..Thank You
Root Motion looks really well so wanted to use it everywhere xD
Well I asked the question because anima bp doesnt replicate and i heard root motion only works in multiplayer by using montages
@@light.yagami7371 You can replicate root motion - it just takes a bit of extra work, you can basically extra the root motion and then apply it as an actual position and rotation modifier on top of the animation without root motion - this creates a replicable format which Unreal Engine likes.
Followed all this and it works great. What would you say the main difference would be if you have a NPC that you want to set this up with?
What would you replace the inputs with? Get actor locations an set world locations?
Will you do a video on this for animals root motion
Thank you for these awesome explanations. Very appreciated
I followed the whole Tutorial series although I am quite eager now to add in a weapon equipped state where I press a button and my character goes into the machine gun movements. To be able to do this will it mean I'll have to redo all of the steps from all of your 3 videos? or will I have to do something completely different? I'm a Game Designer and am fairly new to all technical UE4 stuff and a bought your pack so I could basically create a prototype for an open world game.
for my own sanity, @ 13:00 ish why dont you plug the Z into the z vector?
As far as I'm aware, having multiple event ticks in one graph doesn't increase the cost of using event tick. Unreal has to choose an order to execute those event ticks so internally it's pretty much treating those separate event ticks like a sequence branching off from the "master" event tick.
Is it work with another animations?
Yes it does, it’s just the principle of setting it up. 👍🏼
Hi does this work for AI too? I've created a root motion controller but i had problems with AI. I had to override most of the classes.
Супер крутой урок, огромное спасибо.
Super cool job. Thx dude.
Great Tutorial! Works for 4.23.3.
Great tutorial ! Waiting for More~~~
Thanks NickyMa! Next tutorial uploading now 👍🏼🔥
It looks just like GTA animations
NICE!
Love the videos man! And the animations, I don't have yet but they are next on my wishlist :D I just wanted to say one thing I like to do when using the event tick and a sequence is to put the event tick up in its own area, and make custom functions to call from the event tick, in this case down at the set direction node I just made a custom function called SetDirection, then called that function from my event tick :) Helps keep things pretty in big blueprints.
I bought the older version of the anim pack instead of getting it off of the market place. RIP
Why does this sound like a dubbed anime super attack? 19:57
hi! i did some root motion on climbing up. but it only makes my character to move forward not up. is there something i miss? XD
Needs to be in Flying Mode
Unreal engine 4.21?
Work in first person?
and also, does changing the character model/mesh ruin any of this?
Hi there, yes you can use this with any character / model, it will work perfectly. Also for First Person, you would have to do some custom work to parent the camera to head but with some work you could make this system work great with a FPS view. 👍🏼
I got SO sad when i saw i had to pay for the animations
Thanks bro
Is there gonna be a part 4?
Reverb 100
Direction debug is off by 5 points. e.g. 130/-130, 40/-40, 0.0/175
For the "Direction" I created a function that sets the value every tick. Everything seems to work other than the direction output. Any ideas?
cleared it up.
@@Rev0verDrive what was the answer because im having issues with him not turning to the correct angle, when he should turn 180 hes going near 135 and i cant figure out why
@@swashbucklingfox Did you solve this problem?
@@mapofuhead9248 not exactly, I turned up the blending a bit, of you have turn 135 right and left you can add those animations it may help
@Rev0verDrive what was the solution?
Sou brasileiro,mas mesmo assim seu video me ajudou,eu estava procurando por isso a muito tempo.
For unity?
Just Unreal at this stage. Unity is about to release Kinematica. 👍🏼
Before I start following these tutorials, will they work for an AI character or are they only for the player character?
You can use this for an AI character you would just need to setup a system to send floats and a direction to the AI system to drive the character to move. 👍🏼
Eg: The ai needs to move -> make inputZ = 1.0... the ai now needs to stop, make inputZ 0.0.
You can adjust this as much as you need to get the results you want.
4:31 alow character player from rotating when Enable, it block the Characterplayer Rotation
5:54 Camera Boom Change, 6:17 put camera side a bit nicer and make camera havier and more realistic,
This voice sounds like a frog!
Where are you based, you sound aussie??
Isn't it Stephen Hawking speaking? lol
