I have to say that this capsule-mesh issue was pain in my ass for a long time in animations like crouch,prone,roll,slide,landings etc. and now I run into your tutorial about fixing the collision for this problem so watched it,applied it and not only prone but also my every animations include needing of size fixing for the mesh-capsule such as rolling and sliding and result is just perfect! Thank you for this.
Just want to say thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge of UE4 , I how ever am a bit lost as to how i would put this with the crouch . i did go through the comments and found that you had mentioned how to do it but i am needing a little more clarification on how to set them up. Thanks again for all the hard work and explaining how to use UE4.
Very good tutorial. Really like when you explain the reasoning behind the blueprints you're dropping in. Makes it easy for a noob like me to understand
Great prone tutorial!! You are still to this day, the only person who has covered this. The one things I hate about the normal prone that most Shooter games use, is how sluggish the rotation (aiming) is. I would like to add a system like in DayZ, to where if in prone, it saves the forward rotation, and uses a Blendspace Aim offset, and if the rotation exceeds certain left/right values, it will animate the player from prone to on- back (like in a call of duty player knocked down kind of way) What is the best way to handle this. Is there a tutorial for this, or have you made something similar?
@@MattAspland One quick question : Mixamo does not have transition animations for stand to prone or vice versa, how did you achieve it ? I am trying with a different Mesh (Swat)
@@RtxRob Hey, and I used the animations from the anim starter pack which had some in there. They include holding a gun however, but this could be useful for you too since you are using the swat character. I'll leave a link to the free pack and how to retarget the animations from that character to your swat guy :) Animation Starter Pack: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/animation-starter-pack Retargeting Tutorial: ruclips.net/video/fUUcnwjaIgU/видео.html
That was great, I'm still a newbie to blueprints, I wanted to ask can we use the same method you used to change the collision transforms to change camera height when you go prone?
No problem! Currently with this you will probably go half way through the wall and stop where it meets the capsule component. However, this could probably be fixed with box collisions or changing the collision of the player's mesh, although Unreal makes it pain to get this working. So I'll keep looking into it too so we can have a better collision for the character!
@@MattAspland thank you for answering, if you can find a proper way it would be really helpful to everyone as Unreal Engine is not supporting horizontal capsule collisions.
Great Tutorial. I also used this for crouching and it worked great with one exception. I cannot get the player's feet to touch the ground for crouching. Its only slightly above but still quite noticiable. Even when i change the Crouch Position variable it doesn't move the feet any closer to the floor. Hopefully i can figure it out.
Great tutorial, I actually followed it awhile back to get my prone working, but now I would like to be able to prone strafe both armed and unarmed. I am no animator, and have looked for buyable animations, but no one seems to have them, only forward and backward movement. Is there a way to fake this? Or does anyone have animations like this they'd be willing to sell? Thank you for your time.
Cheers mate, I believe the ALS pack on the marketplace may include some prone animations without a gun www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/advanced-locomotion-system-v1
Sword combat (both player and enemy) do you have time to do that... Thanks.... YOU ARE GROWING VERY FAST IN RUclips, CONGRATS, I think it is because of your good attitude and very helpful tutorials
Dont mind, I know you dont have much time : ), I found an another tutorial, I will just mix things and make up my own. Keep uploading good videos, all the best, This channel must grow a lot =D
Great stuff matt. Would it be possible that you could make a similar video for a first person character? Like entering a ventilation shaft or small cave, not sure if the FP character is the best way to go or using a pawn that goes inside the vent as long as when you get out you are back to your character and same if you go back to where you came from the vent. Not really picky if it has animations or mesh as long as the camera or view is inside a vent or hole. hehe Thank you.
I do have a issue with the reverse , when i get up the capsule turns to normal size but it shrinks back to prone capsule size when i'm standing. have checked 10 times. I'm in UE5. that might be the issue ?
Hey mate, from my quick looks before I couldn't find any for free, however it may have changed now. There are a few different places which would provide some. I'd suggest maybe looking on the marketplace? I'll keep a look out too and let you know if I find any :) And thank you for your kind words!
This is awesome, but there is still a problem I cannot resolve for some time.... How do you make prone collision in multiplayer? SetRelativeLocation doesn't work in replication... How do you do it then?
its a great tutorial I'm following along oh no! i clicked on z character goes prone i click on z again and it loops going down to prone (unreal engine 4.72) (im searching where i broke it) ita a great tutorial I'm following along looking forward to more tutorials for things ah ha at 6:14 when i promoted variable it wanted me to type in Getting Up? i just clicked and hold the getting up from left panel and that fixed it!
I fixed this. I cant for the life of me remember. But it was due to the AnimBP function. Had to be made into a variable and that was set to replicated. And then the height in prone worked.
great tut but i cant find vector*float and when prone if i push crouch key i dnt move from prone but capsule does go up and dwn for the crouch please help ..are these 2 things linked?
Fantastic tutorials 😻 I was curious though, I have a sprint system in place and when I'm prone, it still activates the sprinting and continues at that speed even when it isn't pressed anymore. How would you go about disabling sprint while prone?
Hi, thank you so much! Also, at the start of your sprinting/stamina code, you could maybe have a branch to see if you are prone. If you are, don't decrease stamina or sprint, if you are not, then you can decrease stamina and sprint. Hope this helps and makes sense :)
Hello Matt! Can you help me please? I don't have "MyCharacter" submenu in Variables. Do I have to create it somehow or do I need to just create a new variable for Prone and that's it?
I am unable to put the animations into my game as an error comes up saying "Mesh contains Hips bone as root but animation doesn't contain the root track".??? any ideas
i haven't put animation yet, thats why changed little bit of blueprint. Now after crouch character cant jump or stop sliding. i put flip flop and changed mesh location and capsule hight. i need help. UE5
Thank you very very much ☺️ for making this video because this video helpful for me. But please Can you make video of ''Open door by option like AUTO।। OPEN।। CLOSE'' , If we go near the door then the option will visible to us. Please, Can you make this video because that video will very very helpful for me.
Hey, I think another capsule component, box collisions, or mesh collision could work. But it is something that I'm looking into so that it works a lot more efficiently. I'll keep you updated upon my findings :)
If you go into the third person character and find the line trace by channel, the return value is not connected. Connecting it to the condition causes the character to happen.
Hey nice tutorial, I just had one question ,How do I make it so my character has a small delay before pressing prone to get back up ? because if I press "Z" repeatedly its does this weird donkey kick
hello, i used some part of your code. I am using a first person template with an thirdperson mesh. Now i want to animate prone, when i trigger key z. On Standalone everything works perfect, but on listen server or as clients, then i controll the other player when pressing z. Can anyone help pls?
If you have problem capsule component is not changing the height when running in Standalone I have the solution. 1. Click character movement 2. Check "Can crouch", and also change the crouch speed and height as desired 3. Remove the prone transition nodes, and change that node using "Crouch" nodes for prone, and "Uncrouch" for stand up from a prone position. Note: It seems that from Unreal cannot adjust the height of the capsule component using the prone transition when running on Standalone, so you need to use the "crouch" function to change the height of capsule components.
Hi, so the same way I did "Getting Up" after I did "Prone", you can put these after your crouch function. You can have them all on one line, just bring it on after your crouch. Hope that makes sense. You can drag out of the character reference more than once too. Let me know if you need any more help with it :)
It just repeats the transition to prone for me, pressing the key again just repeats the standing up transition and I'm stuck in that loop. edit: I found if I spam the key it'll get out of the transition and go prone (likewise hitting it again just gets me stuck in transition and spamming the key will get me upright)
I do not know why but I follow every steps but my character reset animation while moving, which is not great at all, did someone found some tricks ? (Enable root motion doesn't solve the problem.)

Hey Matt! i have a problem with the speed when proning. I correctly set the values to 50 and 600, and even tried to check the prone Bs, but still so fast. Any fix?
Hey! Is the speed changing at all or is it staying the same. If it is staying the same is the code after the set max walk speed also working and firing off?
Cut out the fat on the talking and cleaning up it takes time needed that you can do why typing in new nodes, focus on that not the straightning of nodes
