  • Hey everyone! In this video we're going to create a 3rd person character in Unreal Engine 4 using blueprints. We'll be creating our character using the 3rd person template and adding animations for idle and running. We will be using the Infinity Blade Adversaries pack so we can get a character with animations.

      Matthew Palaje Great Tutorial, could you make one on the basics of a 2D game(series). Unreal created one; however, I think you would explain it better and put an interesting twist on it. Thanks

    Thanks for this.
    A tip for those on UE5. When you make your ABP file, remember which skeleton you assign it to (e.g. UE4_Mannequin). Then on your skeletal mesh you are using, right click on it in the Content Browser, select Skeleton > Assign Skeleton > and then select the same one (e.g. UE4_Mannequin). Viola! Your animation blueprint and your skeletal mesh will now be linked up and animations will play against your model.

    If you guys in the comments are complaining about how you want more complex animation after watching this. You should probably not be making games. Its literally the basis for every animation. Condition and result. Its not that hard. I just came here to find out how to get the flow of the process. This was perfect.

    Gotta say, man, it's really cool how you started this tutorial using shit loads of template resources so that anyone trying to make this kind of thing from the ground up is completely left behind and in the dark. God forbid anyone try to use their own assets that aren't tailored in the exact same way as the assets you were using are. As a beginner, this tutorial has honestly only set me back further in learning this engine.

      the slow monotone voice helps alot with the clarity people tend to talk to fast now adays making it easier to mis words and not let your brain process the information you just heard.

    • @Aussie.Owlcoholic
      @Aussie.Owlcoholic 6 лет назад

      clebo99 you could hook up animations based on the forward vector. That way you can tweak the ai's acceleration so it doesn't start off sprinting and will actually speed up over a second or so to make it look smoother.

    • @clebo99
      @clebo99 6 лет назад

    Thanks for this Matthew! Nice tutorial! I've been thinking about building a level and putting some different AI into the level to give it a more lively feel. I want to showcase, not only the environment I'll be building, but what my level would look like in a game with enemies in the level. Coupled with your Basic Enemies AI video, I think I can make this happen now.

    Thanks for the video Matt this has been incredibly helpful in regards to adding new characters to my game. There is just one problem, whenever I open this template or any other template there is no details tab where it should be which makes it difficult to adjust or change the dimensions of any object. Anyways I was just hoping if anyone new how to fix this. And thanks for the great tutorials, keep them up!

      One suggestion would be to add another Variable for IsJumping and when the character Jumps, make that true and add a branch to stop Running.
      Or look into Enums to be able to change Character States differently.

    That was cool. (Subscribed, I like your other videos too) You explained that really well. It looks like I could trigger any animation from even a button and make it play. For instance, an NPC, triggering him to greet or fight.
    Could the animation blueprint be used for something other then a character? Like a machine for example? Or would I use something else?

  • @VgJono00
    @VgJono00 7 лет назад

    It's a great tutorial script wise (the way you talked, that is), but the methodology behind it is somewhat flawed. For instance, if I were to have a character that can walk and run, I'd need to use BlendSpace 1D, which is not covered here. I understand that you were going for a basic tutorial (I've even learned a few things!), but I think that in the long run, this method of animation will cause problems in any slightly more complex system.
    Nonetheless, great stuff as usual :)
