The main reason the transitions from jump start and jump end is popping is because the animations are set to loop. In the jump start state you need to select the animation and in the details window uncheck "Loop animation" and also do that for the jump end. Otherwise great tutorial so far!
Looks like if you just remove that time remaining and just hard check the boolean property in "can enter transition" the animations runs 100% smooth. Don't need to uncheck "loop animation" too.Is there any reason he put that time remaining thing?
The reason why there is a hitch during jump end and jump start is because your jump start and jump end are loop animation. It can be better solved if you unpin the loop animation and then adjusting the ratio time
I want to add a note, if you are making a animation off the third person BP, instead , what you can do is open third person animation bp after you have recorded your animation , from the animation tab. if you can't see a animation graph.. its because you cannot have more then one in URE4 .. and you have to find the original animation BP . just type in UE4 , you should find the skeletal mesh, and from there you can find the animation BP.
It's actually kinda crazy, I used to play LittleBigPlanet daily for five years, and they actually have a lot of mirror systems to this program. I actually know a lot of this having never touched Unreal before
I remember when UE4 first came out, 90% of articles I read compared Blueprint to Little Big Planet. I never played but I can't help but see the comparison as a good thing, especially if it makes it easier for people to get into game design.
I can't figure out why you're checking that the time remaining for the playing animation is less than a value.. if the start jump animation is created to end and nicely play the jump loop animation.. and if the jump end animation is created to end and nicely stay on feet, why you run transition to another state before the end of the animations? What is the transition itself? It's instantaneus or blend the poses between the two states? Thanks for the help.
Hey i just thought id ask and figure out what i did wrong so i copied exactly as you have in the videos and all is the same but when i jump the animation doest play out at all.... Whats causing this sort of error can you please tell me?? Im using 4.13 unreal engine 4 just a heads up
How do we get the Time Remaining (Ratio) for the ThirdPersonJump_Start Asset to show up on later versions of the engine, specifically version 4.27? All I'm seeing show up are functions including a Time Remaining (ratio), but when I use that I get a warning that "Node Result uses Blueprint to update its values, access member variables directly or use a constant value for better performance". How do I do it correctly so that I don't get that warning?
Just to say, most people who watch this stuff actually have a brain, you don't have to elongate eaaaach and every simple action into 40 second long explanations good god.
Good tut. I have a problem about state machine transation rules. I want to get a boolean from an actor BP to my Char animation BP. Purpose is When entering a volume than char. can transation to state. can you explain this in reply?
Is it important to rename certain things like AnimationBP etc. or should it work anyway ?. I've noticed it changes the thumbnail after renaming so i assume yes ?
thank you dude ı was started to gamemakerstudio2 and there always ı getting error and ı cant do nothing now ı am in 11. video and still ı did everything like you nothing error thank you hopefully in all playlist ı have no error then ı can render and play it :D
Dumb little thing I'm not seeing- when he clicks a item it opens in a new tab. In my case it opens in the same tab. Is there anyway to set that behavior?
Why do not see the time remaining ratio option anywhere, weather or not context sensitive is toggled. I have tried searching for it different ways but the asset player is just not there
having usb xbox 360 gamepad controller connected to computer for some reason disables ability to type, rename anything on all textboxes or nodes in UE4. Has anyone had this problem or know any workaround ? would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks!
1 Months later: Your controller probably has the joystick slightly tilted. Yes, you can control the viewport using a controller! I don't know why you would but... here it is! Also, you could always unplug the said controller if its joystick is too sensitive!
Hah hah yeah it must be the case, noticed playing some beat them up and fighting games and characters kept moving forward. Looked for 3 days for a solution on the internet on why typing wasn't working on Ue4. Thanks for replying and the Tip! Hope this helps someone else.
does anyone else find this series frustrating.. not content-wise but pacing? i hate how this is paced can someone at the EG social team take the series down are reupload it as one long video
This is a great series, I'm learning a lot. Saying "Let's go ahead and - " for every click gets a little irritating though. Actually, he says "gowedn", over and over and over again like a tick. Used appropriately, it's fine, but when it's used for every single step it starts to grate. Other than that little niggle, though (sorry), great tutorials, thanks.

+Frank Force Good catch.
+Frank Force Smoother transition without the loop animation! Thanks a lot! And indeed, it is a great tutorial!
Found that my self as well. I am a bit surprised that he didn't try that in the video.

THX!
yo, realtalk, my professor right now sucks when teaching things like this, you really did it right.
The quality of these is more on par with a college lecture than just a youtube video. I feel like I should be paying for this hahaha

This completely smoothed out the animation for me. Thanks!

gotta love the hanging arm issue there. They never thought of fixing that before releasing!

I’ve always wanted to play that game but alas I was an Xbox kid. “Xbox ain’t got games”.
good to go ! 100.0% active it says ! :D and it works.. like a charm thank you dude

Thanks for the help.
if time remaining is less than 10%, start next state. Essentially you're having the variable create a blend state for you.
Also remember that 1.0 is equal to 100%, so 0.1 is 10 %
Hey i just thought id ask and figure out what i did wrong so i copied exactly as you have in the videos and all is the same but when i jump the animation doest play out at all.... Whats causing this sort of error can you please tell me?? Im using 4.13 unreal engine 4 just a heads up
for people who are saying they cant get boolean for float. you are probably using -float. its < float
Omg thank You

you're tutorials are very helpful
For some reason my character is doing none of the jump animations, even when jumping, he just sorta does the running animation.
Did you ever figure this out? I have the same issue where I have all of this set up but none of the animations play.
Can't we use the blend space for the jump animations?
Just to say, most people who watch this stuff actually have a brain, you don't have to elongate eaaaach and every simple action into 40 second long explanations good god.
really wish you would link the next videos.
what a godsend.
How do you add multiple moves. Do you use same state machine and add to it or do you have to make another state machine from other moves ?
Good tut. I have a problem about state machine transation rules. I want to get a boolean from an actor BP to my Char animation BP. Purpose is When entering a volume than char. can transation to state. can you explain this in reply?
Can i somehow call the animations per c++ script ?
thank you so much!
What would I need to do if I only have Jump Loop as my assets?
Is it important to rename certain things like AnimationBP etc. or should it work anyway ?.
I've noticed it changes the thumbnail after renaming so i assume yes ?
thank you dude ı was started to gamemakerstudio2 and there always ı getting error and ı cant do nothing now ı am in 11. video and still ı did everything like you nothing error thank you hopefully in all playlist ı have no error then ı can render and play it :D
My AnimationBP is getting stuck on the Landing Animation, any ideas how to fix it?
The thing is, when you're starting to jump you're not yet in the air.
Dumb little thing I'm not seeing- when he clicks a item it opens in a new tab. In my case it opens in the same tab. Is there anyway to set that behavior?
Sry if this is too late and you've found out by now, but hold ctrl when opening an item to open it in a new tab
Why do not see the time remaining ratio option anywhere, weather or not context sensitive is toggled. I have tried searching for it different ways but the asset player is just not there
You have to scroll up.
For mine it just stays on the idle walk animation
tRIED IT THREE TIMES AND IT'S NOT WORKING. sTILL DOES THE WALK I WHEN JUMPING?
why is my time remaining ratio green instead of blue
Where are the Graph tab in UE 4.9.2?
delete the character animBP,and recreate a new one ,then you will see the graph tab
Well I'm using Unreal Engine 4.18, and i can't really find the Time Remaining (ratio). Does anyone know it's newer update version? :(
Just scroll up it's at the top, the menu is not opening at the top.
I cant get the 'float-float' to output a boolean help?

UE4.11 doesn't have TimeRemainingRation
Yea so float-float can't connect to result.
idle_walk_run its output anim pose
Lol coming from Unity this is so obscure without reason. I wish they improve all the state machines to something clearer.
hi!!, i am having a doubt, in my game the idea state was always on a walk it is not ideal, what i need to do or change, please tell me..
does anyone else find this series frustrating.. not content-wise but pacing? i hate how this is paced can someone at the EG social team take the series down are reupload it as one long video
UE5 fucks all this up.
You don't need to move your mouse THAT slowly...
+Jeronimo Prudêncio Im old(40), and I move the mouse slow now too lol.
