How to Make a Run and Stamina System in Unreal Engine 5 

Thanks for the vid! I'm now adding a penalty system for when you complete deplete all your stamina. In case anyone has problems make sure to Set your "Can Replenish Stamina" bool back to true after subtracting Stamina:) Also, no need to keep setting walk speed, just reroute back to your retriggable delays each time:)

For those who are having an error of having to wait to finish recharging stamina before being able to run again, I did the following: In the custom event Increase Stamina, after the SET node I put another branch asking if IsRunning is true, and then I set the Increase Stamina? variable to false. If Is Running is false, then I follow the same code from the video, asking if the stamina is greater than or equal to 100, if it is, then I can't increase the stamina, if it's not, I set the Increase Stamina variable to false. It worked well for me.

Edit: FIXED. Right after the "AddStamina" custom event, you must add a Branch with condition Get IsRunning, to only continue if False. That solves the issue where tapping sprint can let you keep running with stamina regen, because the stamina regen logic NEVER ENDS until it reaches 100, thats why we have to interrupt it mid-flow any time we start running. For this and the Healthbar tutorial, i recommend viewers to set a "MaxStamina" and "MaxHealth" variable, which is then used instead of manual numbers in the calculations. This so that if you ever have items or systems that increase either one, the new max will be used. But with this said, im having bugs with this stamina setup. If i tap shift while running (so it flickers on and off between canincreasestamina), it ends up replenishing stam even while running, or it ends up never replenishing at all.

I'm just learning UE5 and your video made it so easy to understand the blueprint system. I like that you made really straight-forward. Thanks for the content!

I've come back to this video like 5 times just for the simple percentage math D': my math skills are absolutely horrible but this video saves me every time lol thanks dude!

Excellent tut. If you don't want all the booleans, after +/- stamina and before set stamina just add a 'clamp float' node with the min and max set to 0 and 100. This will stop the stamina from going under 0 or above 100. Do this for health picks ( you have 90 health and the pick up gives you 20. It will only give you 10, for example) or anything you want to clamp the values for.

Hey man, just wanted to thank you. I'm slowly getting into unreal engine with absolutely zero programming experience and thanks to your tutorials i'm learning a lot. It may not be much but after i watched your video, i managed to make a working sprinting and stamina mechanic on my own. Thank you very much! 😄

Thanks for the tutorial. Very helpful.. It needs a few fail saves though.. As my kid figured out, if you spam the sprint button, you can sprint for much longer. So I added in a new retriggerble delay of 0.5 to prevent sprint spamming. Also added “can not sprint if velocity is less than 10. I also added an extra stamina cost when pushing the button to further decrease to feeling of spamming the button.. But great tutorial, and a very good way of doing it 🙂👍

If anyone has the "Event BeginPlay" set up for something else, you can just add a "Sequence" Right after, and connect the pins to the different events.

For those who are having an issue with cant add event begin play, just use the default begin play, connect it as in video and then continue to connect movement.

Thanks dude i used this button map to create a walk speed aswell. Little clunky going from sprinting to walking but run to sprint run to walk great so thanks for the stamina bar and for the base for other ideas.

Thanks goat!!! This really helped a lotttt :)

Found 2 problems with this #1: Holding shift and standing still will make the stamina bar go down. #2: While the stamina bar is increasing if you try running the stamina bar will try to increase and decrease at the same time.

If anyone is having the issue, where when you try to run, the stamina is also trying to regen and the character runs and stops rapidly, put a branch with your isrunning condition connected right before the event to regen stamina and after the retriggerable delay node, make it so it only continues if it's false.

You are a life savior brother! Stay safe 🤘

Thank you bro I just followed this :)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this design causes the HUD to check the stamina and run a calculation for the percentage every game tick. I wouldn't recommend this design. You should use event dispatchers in the character class to notify the HUD that it's stamina bar should be updated. It's a bit more work, but definitely a more efficient system. A simple HUD for a singleplayer game probably won't be too much of an issue, but if you continually use this design pattern you're going to end up with a very inefficient game at release time. Better to take the time and do it correctly in the beginning before you start learning bad habits.

thx man your videos it a true help thx

Thanks Gorka.

thank you for such a clear and useful video😀😀

all work good thank you bro! nost realistic stamina

Thank you bro

Tus videos son geniales, estoy aprendiendo mucho, sigue así

Hey in 11:33 I am trying to connect As BP Third Person Game Mode to Target in Stamina but it says "BP Third mode person character object reference is not compatible with BP Third Person Game Mode Object reference." Can you help me with that please?

Thank you. very Thnak.

Урок отличный,все получилось,даже лучше чем хотел)

We definitely gotta put gorka in the credits of our games for helping us. Thank you for the amazing videos

Hey! I like your tutorials, it's easy to understand for beginner (like me). Just want to ask, how to add the delay when they use all of the stamina to increase the stamina back.

YOU'RE THE BEST!)

Thanks :)

Amazing videos

I have a problem with widgets they don't show up on my screen so you know the fix? I've tried so many things I did it right and everything I double checked it just doesn't show up

I got an issue,sometimes while i sprint,even that i have stamina if i release shift and press again my character would start sprinting and stop immediately even tho i have stamina left

@Gorka Games i can only run when my stamina is at full how can i fix it? ive searched in the comment and try what other people said but still doesnt work

works good but if i hold the sprint key it drains stamina without even moving any fix?

I was adding this to an existing project with an advanced input action and im having issues where the string will not print while I hold shift but when I let go of shift it will print the string a single time.

Hey there 1 problem with this is there can only be 1 event begin-play so after following your tutorial to add a health bar and using it. i now cannot use the stamina bar as it requires another event begin play is there a way around this? [figured it out if you use a sequence it can run up to 5 events]

Great video. While your character is standing static and you key left shift, your health automatically begins decreasing without moving. How would I go about fixing this issue please?

How can i add the stamina bar to my viewport, everytime i go in and move it around in the canvas it still wont appear on the screen

i have a question i cant create node event bedinplay cuz i already have it in the begining of the project and it wont let me what should i do ?

hey, is there a way to stop the stamina depleting when I press shift but I'm not moving? Everything else is great though!

Does Anybody know how i can edit it to make it disapear when nothing is happening with the stamina bar? thanks!

I have an issue where if you are holding the w key to move and hold for sprint the bar depletes but the walk speed of the player does not change

hey i know im too late but i have 2 probs, 1. the stanima still in the top right corner with the cyan numbers. 2. if i press shift its still decrease the stanima while i stand and dont move

How do I make the character animation faster so it look like I’m sprinting

I think i see a big problem. Try to press the Sprint Button without moving... IsSprinting should only be true if the button is PRESSED and there is a velocity in x or y axis. I've learned a lot from you. Thats why i can notice this. Have a good one!

Hello I'm having trouble pressing shift. Pressing quickly doesn't activate running acceleration every time, but stamina decreases each time. Where to look for the problem?

Hello. Very nice video. I would like to ask you if you can make a tutorial about a recommendation system or about recommendations to users (NPC) regarding their profile. I know it is very hard. Any advise or a tutorial would be much appreciated. Thank you

hey love the tutorial however i am running into an issue, when the stamina goes down if i try to use stamina again my character just stutters and does not go back to full speed with remaining stamina, is there a way to fix this please? thanks.

Cool music in the background, what's it called?

how do I start with a different key like "R" instead of left shift? thanks.

Great vid! One question is how to you make the stamina run out vertically

Great tutorial ! I'm just having an issue. When I run the stamina is decreasing but when i stop it doesn't increase except if I press shift again. Like instead of using stamina, running increases stamina. edit: Sorry i'm just stupid lol

The tutorial was amazing but would this work for multiplayer clients? since it says, "set max walk speed." so would it effects all players? I'm new to Ue5

Why can't I run and the screen flickers when I press the Shift key while the stamina bar is filling up?

im having an issue where if i start running then stop and try to run again my stamina drains but im not going faster

How can I hide the blue numbers on the left? Great video btw

Everything works fine, but I have a problem with footstep audio. I've been learning mostly from horror game tutorial, so I've got everything set up like in that video. But unfortunately, when I press shift to run, there 's no footsteps audio. When I walk there's no issue. Footstep sound is merged with walk animation. Did someone come up with solution? I would be grateful.

I know this an old video. Can you tell me how to make it so it wont consume stamina if I'm crouching? In my character i have a simple "key bind" > crouch/uncrouch. and have can character crouch checked to true. Additionally, is there a way to allow to sprint once more if it reaches a certain value of stamina, but to stop increasing stamina if I choose to sprint once more?

Idk why but for a reason i need to change the retrigerable delay to a bigger number in order to run. For example if i put 20 i can run for 20 seconds.

How can I make the numbers on the top left go away?

I have a problem, I followed the video and it generally works but it has this weird problem where my character is only capable of running when the bar is at full, I can't run at half stamina for example and even though I cant run, pressing the left shift button still causes the stamina bar to decrease despite the fact my character isn't running can anyone help with this?

after following the tutorial, i have ran in an issue, the stamina bar only decreases every time it is pressed by the set decrease value once, and then immediately goes back to full, anyone have any idea how to fix this?

When you click start again until it is topped up, it throws an error, how do I fix it?

Hi mate Thank a lot. Very helpful your all videos. Also i tried the stamina bars, but some reason don't let me on the graph screen add the other "Event begin play" . I had one all ready but if i swap it my character stop movements. You have some advice ? Thank you

Hello! So far the videos great but at 11:37 you add the begin play event. But when I try to add it, it just takes me to the add input mapping begin play event and does not want to add a new one do you know why?

pressing shift quickly after releasing it will bug the system, character wont run and stamina will stuck because it is both replenishing and draining, whats the problem?

It's not regenerating when i stand still and it goes down when I just hold shift when standing still

For some reason when my stamina hits zero, my character continues to infinitely sprint. I cannot find a solution to this issue. Do you know of any solutions? Please let me know! Love your videos! Thank you! Just subscribed!

🤘🏻🤘🏻

Awesome tutorial! After implementing it, what would cause the stamina to stop regenerating after pressing any key other than Left Shift?

how do i add 2 event begin play

When i sprint and turn... sometimes... the player goes all glitchy and turns in spikey, sudden impliments.

Hello, first of all very cool video, however I have a problem. I can't add the "EventBeginPlay" because it's already at "Add Input Mapping". As a result, the stamina bar is not displayed to me. How can I fix this?

Para a galera que está com problema de regeneraçao ( de a stamina ficar aumentando quando corre pela segunda vez ) é so você adicionar um branch antes do increase stamina e depois do retriggerable delay ai voce adiciona tambem a condiçao IsRunning? e marca como falso para o increase. Espero ter ajudado.

Gorka, hi, I have 2 problems: 1) when I stand still, but at the same time I press the shift, the stamina begins to fall, although I do not move. 2) During stamina regeneration by pressing the shift, it is spent, but at the same time it is restored. Please help me. I did everything according to your guide. I will be glad if you answer

i cant make multiple Event BeginPlay's... when i press it. it takes me to the one already there??

It's not working for me. I mean it works somehow but sometimes you can run and not lose or gain any stamina, sometimes stamina is going down but im not running, and even if I'm not walking and just press shift stamina is going down.

Anyone having problems setting the “Use Stamina Node.” It connects to the Retriggable delay?

How do you get the use stamina blueprint it doesn't show up for me

Since I couldn't understand the one person's comment who solved the issues in this code; I'm just gonna write exactly what I put that made it work. ***I uploaded a video to show the code here, however an explanation of the code exists below -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V-1IGdHD-0Q.html I called my event StaminaRegen but for those using the guide names, it's the Increase Stamina Event. Go to a BRANCH: Condition - if TRUE - Set < Can Increase Stamina? > false. if FALSE - Set Stamina (the actual Float variable). To the left side of SET, GET Stamina, use Add function and set number to 2. These connect into the SET Stamina amount. Now we're going to another BRANCH: Condition into >= comparison function, value of 100. if TRUE - set false. if FALSE - set true. To explain what is happening here, it's asking if you're running. If you're running it turns off the Stamina Regen. If you aren't running, it will add 2 to the Stamina value continuously until it gets to the maximum value of 100 (which needs to be set in the variable settings). If Stamina is at 100 or more, Stamina Regen turns off. If it's less, it'll keep doing the check to see if you're running and will regen stamina if you aren't. I'm uploading little videos here and there to keep track of progress of my own projects, so I'll link a video that simply shows exactly what my code looks like, since this still might not be good enough (and I don't blame you, it can be hard to convert the text into the flashy blueprint nodes in your mind).

How to hidde the stamina bar when player is not running?

how I get the "Use Stamina"?

Okay so i started trying to make a game in unreal engine and i used your tutorial but i dont know if im the only one but im having problems. The main problem is that when i use the stamina when its on 100 i can run but when its below 100 i cant run anymore until it is 100. Ill be very happy if anyone can help me with this problem.

just holding the shift also drains the stamina, even character is not running

Bro ,Can you or anyone reading this comment ,Why he used Retriggerable delay node made that loop

My stamina bar doesn't fill up when i release shift midway, it only does after the bar is empty and when i let if fill, it doesn't get empty when i run

when i reach 0 stamina then spam the sprint key it allows the stamina to go into the negitives, when sprinting after the regen starts it still regens, and when pressing sprint and standing still it still drains stamina. any fixes would be apreciated.

11:43 So I can’t add a EventBeginPlay because it’s already in the event graph for the add input mapping system

I have a problem when i use all my stamina and stop running after i regain stamina and sprint it doesnt go back down ANY FIXES?

how do you add another "event beginplay" if you already have one for your movement

Please make a new video with all the corrections written in the comments.

can you please help if you don't use all your stamina and start running again then he won't run how to fix it

HELPPPPPP..... I can't make two begin plays because one is already used in the Add Input Thingy. I can't move if I use it for the other one and I can't use the bar If Its connected to the other one. Pleeeasseee

idk why but i don't have retriggerable delay!can someone help!

I am having a problem where the Stamina UI isn't showing if anyone knows a fix that would be greatly appreciated.

I Can't get stamina in WB UI, just doesn't exist

I have a problem that when I try to sprint while the bar is recharging, it goes down by two and then up by two thus giving you infinite sprint. Can anyone tell me how to clear that up? Thanks!

I think I'm too late but for some reason my stamina bar just won't drain

i have an problem, it does not regenerate (i am in first person)
