Keep doing tutorials just like this pleeeeease. Complex systems that other people take 30 minutes to explain done in 3 minutes... My mind is blown. Excellent work!
at exactly 1:00 after you add color module and said let's check in view port...after creating sphere and attaching Beam FX to Sphere, you went back in and suddenly User Beam End showed up in User Parameter, I don't have User Beam End showed up. What could i have done wrong???? my Beam FX is attached to the sphere. please help?
You forgot to add the part where you link the beam end value through a custom parameter, otherwise it wont show up to edit. Simply marking it as absolute won't do.
@@pimeatahti7128 You probably figured it out already but anyone else who sees this... After selecting the "Beam Emitter Setup" click the arrow next to the "Beam End" and from the drop down select "Read from new User parameter"
@RainRainFX - Awesome tutorial! I learned a lot. Subscribed and following. Question - Is there a way to attach/parent the beam end to another object? Right now i have two objects moving onscreen and would love to have this effect move on either end, depending on which "tether" object I moved.
Help: I've attached it to my player character BP and want to use it as a grapple rope. I can't seem to make the "Beam End" variable accessible by the player Blueprint. Any ideas?
It's somewhat a waste of time to distort the geometry. Instead, create a material with a horizontal UV line in the center. Add a lerp between -1.0 and 1.0 to the UVs, and connect a very low-resolution noise texture to its alpha. Make the texture rotate, and you'll have a nice-looking ray that can be used with the beam. To curve the ray just play with the tangents
In the tutorial the preview starts showing it when Spawn Count is set to 50, but mine doesn't show up. I have no preview whatsoever. I tried going back to see what I had missed, but couldn't find the problem. Does anyone else have this issue?
After you change color your particle count is increased to 98 (from 50), shown in top right. Did you do anything else there? I am asking because my color doesn't match, your is reddish, mine seems saturated (almost white). And thank you very much for the tutorial. Your color looks emissive, mine is not.
Bit late, but check you've got all the same stuff added to the empty as shown. I'd missed Beam Emitter Setup and Spawn Beam. Once I added those, RibbonLinkOrder was there.

but missing to mention steps that are done in a fraction of a second
I love it. Exactly what i needed right now for my gameproject! Thanks mate!
You are a god send, I've been trying to figure out naigara to make something just like this!!

YOUR THE BEST YOUR ACTUALY MADE IT FREE TO JUST DOWNLOAD. (:

how to do that?

Thanks @@mustangmarcus , the tutorial is great but I got stuck on this for like an hour.
Nice video, please continue just like that!
I followed the tutorial but i cant see anything in the preview when you set the count to 50? Is there something different with 5.4?
@@bfg_pz2213 check the file. I upload it here
download it and look at the download for reference or just use the downloaded one
same here
Thank you for that tutorial, but its really annoying when you have to pause every second because everything is fast forwarded ...
Good feedback. I'll make more slow version. When I make new one.
Thanks alot love the tut
* Hi, i skip one part. go to 'Beam emitter setup' module, you should check 'Absolute Beam End' then you can control Beam end position.
Check this video, you can see what i was mean 00:57 ruclips.net/video/WsLDXeZhaSg/видео.html

of course, niagara beam is provide 'beam end' it is also vector value. so you can set location

video is way too fast, im going crazy
i'll make slowly. for new one.
is there a way to edit the beam end in runtime?

same problem
in beam setup, change the location beam end to (X) 100

I checked Color, it value is RGB 1555, 15, 5 Alpha 1 maybe it is related with scene light setting. I disable AutoExposure in projectSetting.
I have the same problem
Ribbon link order does not exist in the Curve Index selection at 0:51

Is there a way to control the beam end the same way you control beam start with a sphere attatched
of course, beam end is also vector value. so you can set location
@@RainRainFX thanks for replying, how would i go about that
I'll make Tuto for that, But don't know when, when i made it, will write again in here to you@@CallumB-p7v
ruclips.net/video/WsLDXeZhaSg/видео.html@@CallumB-p7v 00:00~02:25 what you want it
@@RainRainFX thankyou!!!
GOAT!
i did not yet try but i love you like the rest of these guys
Genius
at 47 seconds I the Key Data to 9000 but my beam stayed straight and not wiggling :(

Perfect❤❤❤❤
