How To Hide In A Locker - Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial 

That's a great idea Simon! Nice work, adds that extra level of realism and detail!

thanks for the idea :)

Thanks Russel, happy to provide! I love horror content so thought this would be a nice one! I appreciate it :)

Thanks Pat, happy to provide content from amazing ideas like this one!

Great man, thank you! :)

Thank you so much mate, so happy to hear that you like it :)

That's great to hear man! Cheers :)

Thanks man, glad to hear it :)

That's amazing bro! Thank you!! Good luck with your game :)

@@MattAspland thank you so much :D

Pffffff Week Games, what are you doing here? haha lol

Always a pleasure dude!

Ha great, glad you managed to do it already and now improved on it! Nice work :)

That's great to hear mate, glad you got it yourself and now also have something to compare the code too! Nice work mate, thanks for being round for so long too :)

@@MattAspland well, my code is pretty terrible, but I guess it works good enough. The problem is that for it I used some kind of first person cutscene, so both the camera and arms are animated when entering. doing so became a mess, using sequencer instead of the character himself. Because of this, I don't know if I'll be able to make the locker "repeatable", something that you can copy and paste and it still works

@@HermaniVar1 Ah right yeah, well that sounds good. I suppose a simple alternative, would be to maybe just play the animation on the player and locker, and then disable the player's movement so they can't mess up the look of it. I suppose it wouldn't look as good as a sequencer, but might be more functional. Best way to know is to mess about with it and find what works best!

@@MattAspland I'm still working on it, but I'm almost done. I ended up placing a sequencer INSIDE the locker's blueprint (I didn't know I could do it), so now I have the full animation with the player opening the locker and closing himself in. I'm still trying to fix a few things, such as the sequence not always playing for some reason, but it's coming along as I always wanted it to. Thanks a lot for the video, it ended up being EXACTLY what I needed since I started the project, you helped me A LOT! Thanks

@@HermaniVar1 That's amazing mate! That sounds great, and getting better and more efficient by the day, nice work! Happy to help in the end, and glad you can also get this done in your own rights and learn it all too, that's a great thing to be able to do! All the best mate, good luck! :)

Thank you so much man, happy to help! :)

Thanks a bunch Steve! Always a good fun mechanic :)

That's amazing to hear man! So happy to help out! Good luck with your game :)

Also while entering u can move with mouse like crazy, sadly one more thing.. the direction of entering you can be facing away and it would still hide

Have you found a fix for this? I am facing a similar issue of my character clipping through the floor when you jump and hide simultaneously

@@day3designs also inside the locker if you maintain space pressed the locker camera will snap crazy to a specific angle inside the locker :) if anyone has a fix would be much helpful

Cheers m8

I think it's because you take control of the camera, you basically became the camera and your camera doesn't have inventory so maybe either find a way to access your player's inventory while controlling the camera or find a different way to do this hiding thing. There is another tutorial from gorka that uses teleport to hide, it's called 'How to Make a Horror Game in Unreal Engine 5 - Full Beginner Course', which would mean you stay your character. It's doesn't have the animation part where it seems you go into the hiding space but i'm trying to find a way to do that right now, probably with a cinematic animation or something.

Maybe pull from the char ref and then disable movement. I'm not sure about the other things.

Hahaha I can imagine seeing that at school lol

pro trick: you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

@Pierce Alec yea, have been using Flixzone} for years myself =)

Hey, sorry if I misunderstand, can you give an example maybe? Or more details? But I'd be happy to put it on my list :)

Fix: You just use the new enhanced input axis you have created for looking around and spit it into X and Y axis

Did you find a fix ??

Hey its working?

You need to tick 'new hidden' on set actor hidden in game in the toggle hide function.

Same, how did you fix it?

use ai perception instead of pawn sensing@@lottie5847

You can still switch from your third person camera to the camera inside the locker. It won't be as smooth, but by switching to the camera he created, you are essentially in first person mode.

i fixed it but now I'm having a problem that my entity doesn't stop seeing me when i go in

Thank you so much :)

@@MattAspland No problem..

did you find the fix would help alot

Found it, I messed up the box collision + player input

bro did u get it fix?????

it would be gr8 help !!

Did you manage to fix it?

unfortunately nah, sorry@@user-wr5fh1xg1d

It's likely that you copy-pasted codes from the inputAxis-look up to the inputAxis-turn without changing some variables. Making sure that you are calling variable Yaw instead of Pitch, it might fix your shakey camera.

Hi, what exactly do you mean? There is a wood plank on a door therefore locking it, and you have to unlock it by hitting the wood off the door?

@@MattAspland yes

Fixed issue with a bunch more confusing booleans, but got it to work finally. Anyways, now, the lerp and timeline isnt working for me. Well, it does, so it opens and closes, but it's like theres a copy of the door still here when it moves, anyone know any solves?

Did you find a fix?

@@cyanwaffles I've tried countless things, nothing on the internet was able to help me as well. I had an almost working code where I simply changed the player controller to the locker. You basically became the locker. But then I had an issue with the AI being able to see me in the locker, which I didn't fix as well. I ended up abandoning Unreal, it was fun for a while

@@hazyb511 This might have to do with not setting up the 'set player hidden in game' toggle. Another thing that could work is to just set up perception on the ai, teleporting your character inside and let the walls do their work. Haven't tried it yet but since my setup is completely different from the tutorial i think that will be how i will solve this issue. Basically world transform in and out while invisible so the camera switch still gives the illusion of an animation playing to get in.

Yep this will still work for third person as well. However the camera will go first person into the locker, however it will be third for the character when outside of the locker :)

you want to place objects on a certain x/y position, while the z position is dependant from obstacles/terrain hight? am i understanding u right?

@@halbkuppe4895 yes, right :)

@@iiior605 do a raycast docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/Tracing/Overview/index.html read this. from what i understand, you should be able to get the position by breaking the hit result. so you have to: 1. spawn in an object from a class that looks like the object you want to place(or has the same model with different materials). 2. shoot a raycast from a z-position higher than any obstacle you'd want to place ye think. 3. break the hit resuluts of that cast. 4. set the location of the object you use to tell the players where they'd spawn their "thing" 5. then spawn the Object you want to spawn at the same location if the player presses some button. I cant tell you the exact blueprint architecture you'd need, only the logic.

@@halbkuppe4895 OMG, thanks, dude, so helpful!

Great suggestion, and thank you so much for providing the great information Sir Vival! I can make a video on it still if you'd like a visual explanation, but of course this is great too! Thanks guys :)

Same problem

I know how to fix

Step by step:@@andreisolo 1. Create an event for your interaction button, then create a branch leading from that 2. Create the bool for "IsHiding?" then link that to a "not boolean" 3. Off of that branch, drag and drop the "ishiding?" bool to the true exec 4. drag and drop another "IsHiding?" bool to false 5. now from there, drag the exec of true bool and do "set actor hidden in game" 6. Click "new hidden" 7. Drag from the hidden exec and creat "set actor enable collision" 8. Do not check this 9. Drag another exec and create another "set actor hidden in game" 10. Click new hidden 11. Do the same for the false bool, but set the opposite settings as you did for the true bool. 12. Once youve done this, create a "get player controller in the middle, and link these to the first actor hidden up to, and the enable actor collision up top, and do the same for the bottom first actor hidden, and the same for actor collision. 13. now drag off of the two hidden functions on the end and create "Set view target with blend" (make two of these, one for the top and one for the bottom) 14. Now off of the top set view target with blend, select the new view target to be self and the target to be the original get player controller 15. Off of the second view target with blend, select the target to be get player controller, and set the new view target to "Get player pawn" as this will set it back to the pawn camera instead of having it set to the ai viewing you. 16. Then from there, drag the get player pawn return value and put it onto the "Set actor hidden" on the end of the train. This should fix your issue.

Turn on the hidden check on the set actor hidden in game.

Upon further investigation, it appears that the Axis system is UE5.1 with EnhancedInput I'm not sure if the Axis system was changed in UE5.1 to be configured here instead of EnhancedInput...

Fix：First, create IA_Look and IA_Turn in InputAction, select Axis2D for ValueType in the settings for IA_Look, and select Axis3D for IA_Turn. Next, replace AxisLookUp and AxisTurn on the video respectively. (AxisLookUp→IA_Look、AxisTurn→IA_Turn） Then, place the cursor over the ActionValue in each column, right-click, SplitPin, and connect the Y-axis as shown in the video, do the same for IA_Turn, and connect the X-axis as shown in the video. This worked perfectly for me!

Haha yeah, it could definitely be used similarly

Hey man, firstly thank you! Secondly, could you give me an example of what that is and does? I haven't played fortnite lol and the wiki just says about it being a story thing :)

@@MattAspland look at this is the zero point and I have the 3d model , I just don't know how to import the textures :c Watch this video , this is the zero point: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-By0MsUcqujI.html

@@fallguysfangamebyalexander4431 Hey, sorry if I still don't understand, but what kind of mechanic would you be looking to create? Or is it just importing the model and textures into unreal?

Hey, this should still work similarly, just swap out the buttons to mobile buttons and how you control the movement via touch, which I believe should be in the blueprints already. Just swap the action and axis inputs :)

I think you can absolutely succeed in your game in which ever way you like :) I wish you all the best with it all!

@@MattAspland Thanks for the kind words (motivating) - Thanks to you, I will become a game developer, God willing

@@infinitious3609 Of course you will, no problem and good luck! You got this :)

having this problem how did you fix it?
