Crouching With Animations - #10 Creating A First Person Shooter (FPS) With Unreal Engine 4 

thanks for the tip bud haha was sitting there for a good 30 minutes overlooking the boolean XD

This should be the top comment, i spent an hours trying to figure out why it wasnt crouching, THANK YOU

Aahhhh thank youuu I was baffled. Maybe it's better not to give them both identical names haha.

Still the same pls helpp!!!

Nothing changed

xDDD

This part shocked me too!

@01 09 You Eastern people say what?

Lmao

@01 09 It's hard to understand your writing man.

Swag Waschbär I know. 😂😂

attach the viewarm and gun components to the camera

Is anyone else having an issue when you release couch you can't move again? I have moved in couch but when I want to walk/run again I am stuck in place.

Check your speed in the character blueprint on your crouch button release where it sets the speed to _____. Set it to your default movement speed if it's not already.

Thank you, I must have forgotten to input the value.

If I want to release a game can I use these animations?

I don’t think that matters unless your using it as a hit box

Bump.

As a programmer I had absolutely the same thought when I was watching the video. But then I noticed something is wrong with the crouching and later with the sprinting. When you add this condition it's working flawlessly. I have no idea what's the issue. I didn't convert the blueprint to c++, so I can only assume it's not a 'true == true' in the code, so I'd say it's a blueprint and here that's the correct logic.

Matthias Hertz I hooked it directly and I have no issues, from the crouching state to the idle or walk_run state I hooked the variable to a Boolean not and then to the can enter state.

As a programmer i thought exactly like you but i tried and it was flickering. I don't know why but i think it is because of reference, all of those value are just 2 variable ( 1 lies in thirdpersoncharacter and 1 lies in animblueprint) if we use a function to compare Boolean it helps avoid modifying those 2 variable instead modify them during the transition between state and state

Im going off a hunch, but I think that its checking to see if the CrouchTrue is true since it's a boolean variable, thus meaning it can be true or false. So the CrouchTrue if basically an if statement

Holy shit y'all are some dumb fucks in this thread.

Nice.

I have that too! Except i can crouch but not stop, try dropping the sequence and using functions instead. Hook the separate functions up after the animation update node!

NVM figured it out from another comment. There is a built-in Crouched that is different from the one you make, so make sure it looks like the one in the video and doesn't have the extra target option at the bottom.

same prob

If you look to the left you'll see "AnimGraph". When you open that up (by double clicking), there should be a "Default State Machine". If you double click on that, it will bring up all the different animation states to edit. Sorry you had to wait a week for someone to reply to this!

I just used an "equal". It worked for me although im pretty new so hopefully I don't run into problems later on

what do you mean " when you set your crouchtrue boolean"

Haha I made that mistake when following this tutorial and was completely lost for a few minutes because I couldn't figure out why the crouching wasn't working xD

How did you do this. I tried that and it doesnt work

discord.gg/DAg8ep

same here, didnt work :/

create new state for idle while aiming in crouch mode. insert animation

Thanks for bringing this up, after reading the comments below I was able to fix this isue.

Yes. One way I can think of is using a FlipFlop node for your InputAction Crouch.

@@beverleycorey4454 Thanks so so much I wanted to make it a toggle and was wondering how... You helped me

@@beverleycorey4454 mate you have no idea how long I've been looking for a toggle solution to this, I thank you

@@pengwayne8714 4 years old comment still saves someones

@@beverleycorey4454 I don't know how I managed to follow your instructions without a walkthrough, but I did. Thank you.

ElNeneDrow hey Just Delete Every Thing An Do It Over IT worked When I did it

SHAWN HOOD RICH I'll try it later today thanks

I had the similar issue, the problem was that my crouch blend space wasn't connected to final animation result, so go to your swat animation blueprint, select walk and run tab, double click crouching and make sure blend space is connected to result, that worked for me, hope it helps for you.

Ended up being that my Boolean variable "is crouching" wasn't being called to get reference, but rather the default character IsCrouched or whatever it is. Either way, fixed now! 😁

make sure your Crouching_BS is hooked up to your final result in crouching in the states

Im struggling with the crouching and cant seem to fix it

Go to the discord community for help from moderators

"One way I can think of is using a FlipFlop node for your InputAction Crouch." -Sir Beverley Corey

same probleme

is the Crouching_Bs connected to the final state?

@@BrushEm wdym?? please explain

maybe try anchoring the camera to the character's head

Same

+Daz Bird There is a solution to that, something we'll set up over the next few videos. Hold on tight!

Hey man. can you please go over camera movement for the weapon? Because when switching the strafe from left to right etc, the weapon is twitching. Can that be fixed?

Also i have added a thirdperson camera to this also and would you mind go over the pitch values? So we can aim up and down? Without the player twirling around like a fool :D

Full list of steps for TOGGLEABLE toggle crouch system: - I'm assuming your crouching variable is named IsCrouching **[Initializing System]** - Make a boolean named "ToggleCrouch" - Add InputAction Crouch - Make two branches and connect both to pressed and released - Set the condition to Get Toggle Crouch **[ToggleCrouch = False]** - On Pressed Branch, if condition is false set IsCrouching to true - On Released Branch, if condition is false set IsCrouching to false (we wont use true on released) **[ToggleCrouch = True]** - On Pressed Branch, if condition is true set IsCrouching to NOT Boolean of IsCrouching After doing all this, do whatever he said after. Easy peasy This can be pretty helpful for settings, lol

I figured it out simply right click and type flip flop and connect it to the first box shown at 9:28 and then connect it to the other two. Now for just figuring out the camera that remains in the standing positin.

Thanks for the flip flop thing. But, I have the same problems with the camera... have you managed to fix it?

The One and 0nly I added the flip flop, thank for the tip! I didn’t get the camera thing, maybe you made a mistake in the tutorial somewhere?

Make sure that in your character blueprint that your camera is connected to your mesh, then that should allow the camera to follow your player as you crouch.

+Kregon Clients We sure can, it's something we'll do when we're setting up the jump animation for our custom character.

this is key press u can enable toggle kepress rather easy

Figured it out. If anyone else missed what I did I didn't have the exec line on cast to thirdpersoncharacter hooked to the exec line on the final set.

@@Cancrusher11 what is exec?

nevermind i just had 2 instances of ue4 lmao

same problem did you figure it out??

Exact same thing with me. Seeing you post this raised some flags in my head so I went and checked and sure enough there was a different one lol.

Being messing around looking for this for an hour, thanks!!

Never Mind I figured it out. One of my Max speeds were set to O...wow. Least it only took like 5 mins for me to figure it out XD

"Flip Flop" node between press "C" and crouch un crouch.

Tal Kelley, III i thinks its the animations that are not so good you can go on mixamo upload the model and download some different animations and use them havnt had the same problem with any otger animations i have used from maximo..hope this helps

Has anyone every figured out the issue. I been trying to figure out what I have done wrong. I have everything working at this point. but animation stutters when strafing or walking backwards. I love the videos. Keep up the good work.

export the weapon texture, paint it, re import it

yeah i know that but i like to have multiple camo for guns
