    Just amazing. Once again, I've watched other tutorials that are almost identical to yours....trying to make something work.... and fail. I don't know enough to understand WHY they are failing.... then I watch yours. Your tutorials don't skip a simple step (in this case the selection of "In Place" in mixamo) that is a key step into making this work! And we thank you!!!!

    I know a lot of people still learning about this. I'd love to see more advance use for animation blueprints because I have no idea how should I implement more advance stuffs. Tho as a solodev I'd just use much simpler animating method than this since I'm doing animations myself.

    Thanks, Matt. Very useful as always. If you ever get the chance, could you demonstrate how you would use a animation BP in the sequencer? (I think it would be an ABP). Basically, imagine this character walking, in the Sequencer. Then at some point, he was waving a sword, or throwing punches with the upper half of his body as he walked. Would be mighty grateful.

  • @benblaumentalism6245
    @benblaumentalism6245 Год назад +1

    I wonder if the Max Z velocity could have been increased in the Character Movement component. I think the character may have been changing states too quickly, due to the short duration available to complete the jump. Raise it up to something like 900, and see if that looks better. Or jump off a ledge (as long as it doesn’t kill you) and see how they connect. Just a hypothesis!

  • @krisdevos3231
    @krisdevos3231 Месяц назад

    It's been said by near enough everyone here but this was the one video that actually worked for me.
    Very clear, concise & straight to the point.
    I was just wondering though:
    My character gets stuck for a second in the falling animation when they land, do I need to set an extra transition in the state machine or change my jumping/falling parameters.

  • @UrbexUS
    @UrbexUS 6 месяцев назад +1

    I've seen other videos where in the event graph, they cast to the player character first instead of just going straight to getting velocity. Would that cause more to work around later, rather than the way it's being done here? I'm just trying to understand the differences in doing it either way.

  • @philippj5176
    @philippj5176 2 месяца назад

    If you run into the Problem, that the animation is played in full, so for example you press "w" your character starts to run forward and bounces back, your animation is not set to be static, but just starts at the point where your character is standing, and than bounces back to the position where your character moved to while starting the animation again.
    Don't worry.
    Open the content browser.
    Find the original animations you dragged into the content browser at the beginning (running.fbx ... and so on)
    In the content browser doubleclick on the animation.
    Now a new window pops up and you see the animation moving.
    On the left you should see asset details, if you don't go to top navigation bar, press windows -> asset details.
    There you will find 2 options:
    Enable Root Motion
    Force Root Lock
    For a lot of animations it is enough to just tick enable root motion. If that alone doesn't work just check force root lock too and you are good to go. The root, so the base where the animation takes place is now locked down to the position of the mesh that the animation is asigned to.

    I made an animation with the Cr_Mannequin_Body_Control Rig which opens up a sequencer, but I have no idea how to add the animation I made to my third person character so I can use it in play mode.
    Can you offer some advice or maybe point me towards a tutorial please? Thanks.

    When my character is just about to land, he disappears completely, and then reappears after about 1.5 seconds.
    Any ideas? I thought I followed every step of the Animation Blueprint as explained in the video. (I'm on UE 5.3)

    To fix the jump-up animation is only to go to mixamo and using the same animation, you just have to reduce the range of Trim from 34 to 100. So you will have the jump-up animation closer to normal

    I'm having an issue with importing the animations. I'm not using a mesh from Mixamo, but rather one from the asset store and I've applied movement and camera movement as per your tutorial on that subject. When importing animations, I'm getting an error which says *_Mesh contains root bone as root but animation doesn't contain the root track. Import Failed._* I tried to select SK_Skeleton since it doesn't let me import the animations without selecting a mesh, but the SK_Mannequin and UE4 Mannequin are the only meshes it provides despite having some from the UE asset store. What am I doing wrong, and how can I solve this?

    For some reason, Walk animation is not triggered when I play the game. It's just Idle but moving with Walk speed... :/
    But Run animation is working perfectly.
    EDIT: Fixed it. It's not because Walk animation not triggered like I mentioned before, in fact, it triggered just fine. The issue is because I pick the wrong idle animation (Which I thought more interesting animation than what he pick). Tutorial never mentioned that if you use different Idle animation, it might won't work perfectly.
