- 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.

Thank you for watching! I'll see you all in the next video.
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
I only do let's create on RUclips. I'll have a Udemy course out soon for people wanting to learn the entire process :)
Any hints on the release date and genre that Udemy course is going to be about? :)
but its so unoriginal to do tho just copy paste other peoples work im just saying if i want to make a game it will be unoriginal
the site has been shut down :(
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.
i watched this now in 2019 and i feel like im actually learning new things
Me too! I love this tutorial.
WOW this has been the easiest to follow tutorial so far for custom characters. Thank you so much!!
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.
How the hell can you possibly be so clear in your explanations? I envy both your skill and your clarity. Keep up the great work.
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.
out of all the channels, this is the most helpful
Thank you for the kind words :)
Honestly you have saved my coursework with this tutorial! Animation was the only thing I couldn't figure out!
Excellent tutorial from content to voive to manner to understanding. thank you so much.
to find " Final ANimation Pose" go to Animation > left side > double click ANIMGRAPH under Details. thank you
THANK YOUUU
Extremely helpful for the new ones to UE4. The "Force Root Lock" option is so timesaving. I love it.
Right now I'm getting my Frieza's from DBZ movement system set up, and this was a great base. Thanks!
This is the best tutorial ever!!!!!
That goblin looks sick in the beginning!
Awesome, i installed unreal, installed the free african Animal pack, applied your tutorial to the african elephant and ready is the african wildlife simulator. Thanks ;D
Thanks for showing everything step by step, including where the settings are located at and just the general feel for the interface. Can't wait to make a custom character! :D
What a fantastic tutorial for Unreal anim newbies. Thank you very much.
Really nice video sir! Thankyou!
Thank you sooooo much. I am new to UE4 so I really needed this. When are you going to host the next game jam?
No problem! I'm glad that it was useful. Most likely in August :)
Thank you so much for this video! You have a great voice for tutorials and have instantly taken my understanding of UE animations from novice to workable!
thanks for all your videos! I find them a lot easier to learn the ins and outs of Unreal vs other channels and videos.
I was looking for how to block root motion for sooo long and couldnt find it. You're even using the same model I wanted, thanks!
The comments are what save me thanks!
Dude, from the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank you. You are a life saver. Just when I was about to give up on my project, your tutorial helped me out. Really appreciate it.
This made me very happy when I was done with the video. It was easy to understand and not boring to sut through. Thank you
Thank you. This was super clear and directly usable info.
thanks a lot!! this tutorial was fast and very useful
Great tutorial! I've just migrated from Unity 3D to Unreal and this tutorial has really helped! You just earned a subscriber! :D Keep up the great work!
And at the end you helped with my animation root motion problem!!! Thank you so much I am very grateful! XD sorry I know I talk a lot.
NICE! Been wanting to do this forever. Thanks!
Nice and dandy, thanks!
Daaamn, I really needed this so badly. You're amazing, Matthew!
Thanks! I'm glad that the video is useful :)
Why are you so good? XD seriously though you are a GREAT teacher! keep it up and never stop uploading :D I wanted to learn gamme development for the longest time and I had a difficult time learning the basics but you've helped me come a long way, thank you!
Thank you, straight to the point tutorial
hey ive got a problem the characters legs would just not move, what to do?
Nice video! I’m used to Unity, the concepts are very similar although the implementation is completely different. But it looks easy!
@Matthew where are you man? :( I miss you and your lets creates
Very nice! Many thanks! Well explained
Nice one. I recently finished Animation Mentor - Game Animation Fundamentals. Creating and importing animations from Maya into UE4 was covered, but I was looking to creating my own animation blueprints from scratch for my own custom characters. This helps a lot. More like this please.
Hope you don't stop these BluePrint videos coming bro. They help a lot!!
Have to get back into my designing again as i've had a few weeks of not touching UE4 :/
This has helped me so so much with my Intro to Game Development class, this saved my grade thank you TuT
Thanks soo much, I've never managed to find such a simple animation tutorial for unreal, never understood it, but now I do!
for a beginner like me, watching this video really brings my hope to the grave!
Never kill your hopes. If you... i will you...
I love it when I see a Matthew Palaje video!
Thanks Eiji :)
Can you do a tutorial on how to make a character selection system like in Overwatch and Paragon?
Lamoo loool
Thanks so much for this tutorial I really appreciate man, can we possibly get some tutorials on how to make enemies and attack them?
This is great tutorial thank you
FUCKS YESS THANK YOU! Not sure if you listened to my request, but this is exactly what I wanted
Haha I remembered reading a comment requesting this but I didn't check the name. It probably was your request!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
My character is stuck in idle even while walking ;(
i also have this problem
Explain the problem a bit.
does the Animation for walking even works?. and have u selected the option Animation Blueprint or animation in The Character BP?
it could also be because you on your event graph the can run Boolean is not on its not on the Abp area its in the normal BP one
I had that issue but than I realized I forgotten to set checkbox in "can run" node
really great and clear tutorial, thanks a lot for sharing us your knowledge!
wow perfect explanation. learned a lot thanks for sharing
hi Matthew , i don't know how to add "jump animation" in UNreal Engine 4
so can you show me how to do it ??
@Oyasumi He explained everything that was important, there is a boolean that comes by default that says something like is on air or jumping, same thing with mobility, is easy to create the nodes
Your tutorials are great! Explained everything very well. :-)
Works perfect! Modified it a bit that you can walk and run by pressing left shift.
Handling jumping animations would be awesome!
Really well explained. Thank you very much!
perfect tutorial 10/10
This was a fantastic tutorial!!!!! Thank you. I got my Dino character running around the screen without any issues. I need to now figure out how to apply this to AI characters.
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.
Thanks....I'll give that a try.
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.
Excellent tutorial. Another void in my knowledge filled! You have my thanks.
thank you so much for making this, personally I couldnt have asked for more- perfectly done
No problem! Thanks for the kind comment :)
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!
Simple and noob friendly tut... Tnx very much man!
I had to watch and redo the whole video because the character I chose did not have legs and I wanted to to have legs. BTW thank you so much for making this video
tHANKS
thank you i'm switching over from unity and your videos have been a huge help!
That's awesome! I made the switch not long ago as well. I hope you have a great time using UE4 :)
uhhh..unfortunately .. i didn't understand many things about the blueprint graph , i watched around 50 tutorials , still don't understand many things ..as how do i know that i'm needing this specific action to do specific things specially it has a wierd name , i don't want to follow tutorials on every step or action i want to make .. all i have to do for now ..just copying and pasting the sequence of the graph without knowing why or how !! i'm really depressed , ...stucking on level design , it's very easy compared to this .. really depressing.. anyone have a solution ?
I hear you, I have been following tutorials, trying to figure out how to make my butterfly character, been trying for like 5 months now, don't want to give up on it, but every tutorial i see only gets me some of the things needed and if you have no idea what something is used for or called, it is nearly impossible to complete it, bringing up bad feelings about the project
I think it's really just a matter of time. At first I didn't understand most of the things at all no matter how many tutorials i watched, but over the years it's gotten so much more clear and actually makes sense. Don't stop trying always come back
hey man! how its going right now?
@@brandonwang8919 haha it’s been 3 years
dude, I feel the same about those animation blueprints. im trying to find out too.
Nice tutorial, tnx.
Great little tutorial! Thankyou!
Wow thank you so much!
it works works, how can i make it stop walking while its in air jumping?
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.
Great video man!
Thank you brother
we would love a mathew palaje discord server
This was a perfect overview of everything thanks so much 👌🏼
Thank you so much for making this! Very clear and concise! 🤩👍
really help. thankyou.
Very, very good tutorial. Easy to understand and follow. I will definitely sub and look forward to new videos :)
My player model wont stop doing the walk anim and wont do idle when i stop plz help someone
10/10 Very Good Tutorial, Filled With Understanding And Information, Truly Magnificent! Although I Knew Most Of It, Still Would Of Made It More Efficient Using UE Awesome Job! Expressing!
Thank you for your tutorial! Helped me loads.
so here 13:40 both character and animation is playing thereforee it runs away from camera but if u set it to lock it stops but the character logic moves therefore it appears that the character is moving in synchronization with the animation
Awesome! Thanks a bunch mate
This was FANTASTIC, very good tutorial
Great Job! TYVM!
How come SKMesh have their owrn animation ? Does it mean I can't create my own animation for the Grunt Avalanche with Blender ?
Thanks for this tutorial by the way, it's dope !
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?
Hey! Very helpfull , but how do you implement attacks on to these characters? I really dont know where to start and it would be helpfull if you'd make a video on it . :D
Hello Matthew, firstly thank you for all of your videos! its so fun to attempt !!
However, Regarding your FPS tutorials, does all of that applies to Third Person Mode?
Thank you
I love this tutorial I'm super new to this and your tutorials are amazing :)
Thanks for the kind words Golden Hour Gaming! Have a great time learning Unreal Engine 4 :)
12:29 Done everything you did, but I can't see my character... I feel like this is not something I can learn. I've just wasted my time but you'll get a like for the video!
you have to download it first then you can add it to your project
Don't have the event tick action available, why? ;/
very good!
I love how easy this is t follow!
what if I wanted to add a walk animation though, and only have it play the run animation when "Shift" key was pressed?
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 :)
Great video bud, super useful!
Thanks!
Need to create a different animation Buleprint for each moment?
As an example, when a medieval character has a sword and shield, should you create a different animation plan while the hands are idle?
Key tasks should be arranged according to him?
thank you for creating this content! subscribed and hit that belll instantly!
Great, nice and concise. Thanks
Thanks Tom!
