“It’s just going to work” very Bethesda of you

By far the best and easiest to understand tutorials I've ever seen. Please keep them coming Virtus!

For those who can't find the image option in Appearance all you need to do it simply right click on appearance and select ( expand all )

This is the best tutorial series ive ever seen i just started using UE and this has helped a lot

this is very helpful and so much fun to follow! thank you for putting so much hard work into this series.

Yay! Thanks for these tutorials! Was able to make the camera shake every time I get damaged!!

These video series give me the ability to accrue a lot of experience in troubleshooting. Great series.

Absolutely amazing tutorials, I am new to Unreal Engine 4 and this is helping me so much. Thank you keep up the good work.

i am new to Unreal Engine 4. And this series helps out so much Keep it up, Virtus!!

although your tut's are great, relevant, and pretty easy to understand (VS just follow along and not understand); One thing I think I've learned - I wanted just a single animation to flash repeatedly, this setup causes a new instance to be repeatedly created and played over the top of the old one. Importantly, the old instance is not destroyed, so you just keep making new instances without removing handles or references to them - this is potentially a massive memory leak! I set my fire to tick every 0.01 with 0.02 damage per tick for a smoother animation - meaning that I was making hundreds of widgets, just with alpha at zero. I'm working on how to remove from parent/make only a single instance and replay that.

Keep up the good videos Virtus.. very easy to understand thanks!!

this series is unreal. thank you!

Thank you so much I'm very happy that you focus on every aspect apart from adding guns and getting them to shoot by far the greatest, easiest and effective tutorial I've everseen

You make the best tutorials than all other youtubers

Easiest Tutorial. Thank you

Hey man i am so happy with your channel. Very awesome. 😀😀😀

Love ya, Virtus! Easiest to understand tutorials! Imma make one of the best out there! Also, after this series maybe, can you try and make some blueprint tutorials? like explaining all the blueprint things part by part?

you my friend, are the best teacher

Luke Anderton, you are the best tutorial maker on the entire platform of youtube :D

Nice vid. Thanks!

For those who have white square instead of damage effect. Fix: delete "Damage Effect" blueprint and remake it again, it helped for me

Dude I actually love you

Top notch tuts! By far the best and easiest to follow! Thanks! Cheers! No problems so far with version 4.22.3. Way more fun that Xcode and iPhone apps!

you are a boss bro thank for the work

Thanks for these great video!

Love your videos

WoW! Just Amazing!

I want to ask a question, when I am in the PainVolume, the speed of RedVignette's flash is too fast, how can i fix it?

Soo Cool Tutorials :)))

thank you so much bro!!!!!

Hey Virtus, nice videos man keep it up ! Could you make a tutorial about blood spatter effect when an enemy is hit by a projectile. Also when a projectile hit something and make a bullet hole. Thanks.

Just awesome!

With UE4.21.2 it works without Problems, nice Tutorial

To those asking how to have the vignette apply only to the health and not the armor, its fairly simple, just don't connect the Create Damage Effect Widget to the False condition in the branch at 07:52 and it is only applied when the player health is taken away, not the armor.

when taking shield/armour damage you could use a blue vignette instead, then use the red one for health damage

Cool bro, Keep it up..

Somehow my timeline for the vignette fade animation started at -1,37 sec and endet at 1 sec but the keypoints were at 0, 0,25 and 1 so I have this delay in the animation... There is this like green and red clip which obviously shows the beginning and the end of the animation but I can't grab and move them, also tried to right click them and try everything that might work but nothing worked so I deleted the whole animation. Next try and now the animation is fine but still I'd like to know how to work with those clips/handles. Any solution?

How do you down load the files when it has the adobe file downloader not active for me ?

Hi, why did we set Owning player for Create Widget block in this case and didn't set it for the basic HUD earlier?

the best tutorial

I'm having a problem with a newer version of UE4 where opacity is replaced with Alpha on the animation area. The Alpha with the animation versus the Alpha with the image default doesn't mix well and the image doesn't work at all

I love this tutorial and it is very easy to follow! However, I have watched this vid at least 6 times and I know that I have done everything the same yet no effect is displayed on screen, please help!

I didn

How do you get it to appear beneath the other HUD widgets? I don't want mine to cover up my health bar.

dumb question XD for the armor regen (i switched it to auto regen health instead) can i set a delay before hp starts regenerating for EX after taking dmg i can only start regening hp after 5 seconds

Thank you so much

The link with resources says this course is no longer available for enrollment soooo. I don't Know where to find the stuff

Hey Virtus, how do I make it so the blood effect stays until 5 seconds after being damaged and then you begin to heal.

Thank you!

The pitcutre link to FPS game in resources is linking to endless-runner, start button works as expected though. Anyway, thanks for great series so far!

So, somehow, I got it to keep splashing the effect until the armor is fully regenerated, unlike what you’ve shown above, but all of my blueprint seems to be the same. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

how do i make the armor effect and health effect different

If u have a proble at a moment when u make HUD showing on dmg to armor. I just copied the create dmg effect and add to viewport then connected it to the branche's false. It actually helped me.

Noob question here. How do I trigger the damage screen hud only when my health is below a certain threshold?

these tutorials are really helpful! just one question, when I take damage I don't get the picture it comes up with a white screen and I'm not sure how to fix it

So you are creating an overlay texture every time you take damage, but what happens to that texture after the animation is destroyed? Shouldn't we somehow dispose this texture? As far as i understand there are multiple images left in your screen with opacity set to 0, which in Unity would kill performance... am i missing something here?

Sorry, how i make that the vignette appears only when i lose health and not armor?

In mine if I walk in painvolume damage effect keeps coming until my armor is fully restored please tell me what to do

You are awesome When I end with my game i will release this if theres not problem..Sorry for my english

I cant drag the blood vignette into my blueprints no matter what I do, ive tried extracting the folder multiple times and I even tried to make my own in photoshop... any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

A late question but UE doesn't seem to let me drag the Red Vignette image from the folder into the content browser. Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it?

you are the best you give everything for free in exchange for only very good visits you earned my like

hey uh my image is not working unless i set A to 1.0 any ideas?

Why when i create a new function and change something in it does it change it for all of them?

For those of you who have the updated version of the editor, if in the vignette fade animation creation the blood doesn't appear, do not worry. Change the alpha (RGB A) to 1 in the DETAILS and you will see the animation working

Gotta love how the Unreal devs just move vital options around and hide things with each update.. making these simple older tutorials 100x harder. Things like "loop animation".. where the hell did it go? Unreal Devs: "Well we've always had the loop option right here.. so lets move it somewhere no one can find it.."

No matter how I set it up, the damage effect happens twice. To test it, I set the delay to 5 seconds and ran through the pain volume. He got hurt once, but then 5 seconds later, even though I was well out of the pain volume, I got hurt again. I don't understand, at the end of the delay it should loop back, see that I'm out of the pain volume, and nothing should happen. What's going on?

One of the best tutorial i youtube.... u should be working in game industries whith ur such skills. Bro thanks to ur tutorial I learned a lot from ur tutorial. THANKYOU VERY MUCH. Can u plz do me a favour. Can u plz show me how to make friendly AI character whom we can select and ask to follow player by pressing a key and fight enemy AI too......

I'm pretty much gonna leave a comment on your excellent video

I'm trying to rework this into a fading overlay that gets more visible as health gets lower, but when I try to follow your directions you showed in the health and armor widget tutorial for setting the overlay widget to a variable it says that it's not compatible with UI object reference? EDIT: Here's how I figured this out... I created a function called "Calculate Overall Opacity" that compares the current health value to the maximum health value (by dividing the current by the max) then I do 1 minus the created fraction. and return that value in the function. Then in the image I go to the brush settings in appearance where he showed we set the alpha value and create a binding at "color and opacity". In that function, I cast to the third person character (while setting the object to get player pawn) and then click and drag the "as third person" node to cast it to the function called "Calculate Overall Opacity". From there, I use the return value (the green node) and drag it out to create a box labelled "make color" and set that return value to the alpha. Then I take THAT return value, and drag it to the return node of the binding function I created at the color and opacity of the image.

Thanks

late and not expecting answears how do i make it so it only does the splash when i am on the health and not armor

I got mine to work but whenever i get out of the box, i'm still taking damage and the vignette stays there. Anyone know how to fix this?

Where can I get that blood splatter effect. I couldn’t find it on your website

where are the links for the: health and armor and for the damage taken(blood splatter)

At 6:42 I dont have a Damage effect on the dropdown? please help if you can

My fade in the label "graph " don t have any point and my play animation is totally different ease help

If you want to see the splash screen even when you recieve health damege, you must create your widget after the false branch node and the set armor node after the true branch at the same tame :D

When I go to add the image, my appearance tab only shows brush and color and opacity, i dont know why but i cant add the image

Failed to import 'FPSAssets\RedVignette.png'. Failed to create asset '/Game/ThirdPersonBP/Blueprints/RedVignette'. Please see Output Log for details. help

After the blood effect has shown on the screen any other clickable widget becomes unclickable like the widget is getting blocked by the transparent blood widget, Anyone knows how to might fix this ?

you can use a do once multiport if you need to duplicate the nodes at the end of the branch

I cannot get the red vignette to show up in my game in 4.16 & I have redone this part 5 times. Does anybody have a clue what I am doing wrong? I have tried to follow the video exactly. So I created this in 4.26 & it shows up there.

If I have a second player on screen, and the second player is hurt, my character is changing the hud... why ?

By just copying the same idea with the health but instead of also connecting false to health and creating a new widget you can make a different HUD effect for shields and health. I made my shield effect lighting on my screen. Kinda cool.

Mines is flashing a white screen instead of the red Vignette. How do I fix?

Hey Vitrus! I was wondering if you could make this tutorial where when you dont have weapons you walk around using the animations that come with the third person. You know, so that way your not holding an invisible gun! Also i've seen other third person shooters and tbh yours looks like its gunna beat all of them!

how can i make a gamemode like team dethmatch or free for all, capture the flag etc.

It says I can’t play in editor when performing edit color and opacity please help

soooooooooo freaking useful!

Virtus, you should also include all the fonts and stuff we're gonna need with the rest of the files from your website. It would be way easier than searching for the fonts on google.

For anyone who followed the tutorial correctly and still can't see the blood splatter, try increasing the delay in your pain volume. It might be taking too much damage before the animation has a chance to start. Good luck!

Please help with two flashes even if the loop is set to 1

Thank you, when i watched your videos and i do it in ue4 its working. But another tutorials dont work for me.

In damageeffect i accidentally closed the palette, how do i open it again

I did not see the link to the assets. How can I find it guys?

Could you do it so that only happens when you lose health, not armor?
