How To Make A True First-Person Shooter with a Metahuman in Unreal Engine 5 - Part 4.1 

Please note: in the most recent version of the engine there are some differences that render these sensitivity controls obsolete. These differences and the issues they create are addressed in the following tutorial (Part 4.2). Also, if you're using 5.4, MM_Land no longer retains its additive settings during retargeting. Open it up, scroll down to additive settings, change Additive Anim Type to Local Space, Base Pose Type to Frame From This Animation, and Ref Frame Index to 26. These are the default settings in the 3rd Person Template, so for reference feel free to open the original MM_Land and check out the additive settings there. 🫶

This is hands down the best tutorial series. Thanks

Look like the best tut series on the topic so far. Thank for sharing!

Thank you for this series, it has helped me understand quite a bit. I did have a MetaHuman with lots of zeal on Ground Speed, so I had to put in a Vector Clamp Size 2D between Get Velocity and the Vector Length XY and set a max of 3.0 with a min of 0.0 in my AnimBP event graph, and that calmed things down quite a bit when it came to the MetaHuman clipping the environment, bouncing off walls when running forward, moving backwards and the overall running around.

Awesome! Waiting patiently for the next tutorial about feet rotation adjustment in place =)

I did it, thank you very much friend! best FPS tutorial on the entire internet, THANK YOU

Everything worked great! Only hiccup was in the LAND state. "Use cached pose 'locomotion' ". The "Apply Additive" node messes up only the landing animation , makes the player teleport and bends really weird. When i removed this and linked up my "MM_Fall Land" Anim to "Output Animation pose" , it fixed this.

Man, thanks for the tutorials, I’m only using part of your code from the video, so maybe I missed something somewhere, but I briefly looked at the rest of the parts and didn’t notice a solution to the problem associated with tilting the character, if you tilt completely, then the camera just clipping through any actors and landscape. I stopped at the fourth part, and I don’t know whether to watch the next parts, will this problem be solved there?

First of: Love the series! Have one problem tho, i'm doing this in a third person, and when i land while running, it looks like the legs turn into rubber for a second before continue with regular running animation. Jumping standing still has regular landing animation, but not while i'm moving.

This Tutorial Series seems really nice, when will the next part come?

Thank you! Nice Tutorials!

Hi Mizzo. Please assist. I have followed your tutorial to the second. I am using Engine 5.3. My oriblem is looking. My camera is paired with spine_05. Looks up and down fine. Character is tilting head left and right, not turning. camara doesn't turn to sides. camera rotation is off, when on the hands does not stay in the screen. when pairing the camera to neck or head, camera tilts to sides, not turning.?????😮😢

First of all I want to say that these tutorials are fantastic. They are like a step above intro style tutorials which is awesome. That being said, I swear I have followed the tutorials to a T and scrubbed through all of them up to this point and still can't figure out why my hands don't stay with my camera. My hands are relative to my body and everything looks good when I eject, but in play, my camera outpaces my body when I look up and down (not left and right.) Any ideas? You should consider getting a Patreon or a tipjar set up because I would throw money at you for this.

@MizzoFrizzo great stuff so far, thanks so much, i have one issue though, If I add the input mapping context to chandra blueprint, controls wont work, as controls are also in BP_FirstPersonPlayerController ? Did I miss something along the way ?

I've did all the steps but when I go to jump an stuff, I get no animations? is there something I could have missed or did wrong?

I have watched this over and over and still cant get the head turn to work. Spine is working fine so it makes no sense

will you continue and show how to add animations for weapons and shooting and stuff

Your project is very good, I have a doubt, how to add animation of turn in place so that the character moves his feet when turning stopped?

Thanks for the tutorial mate! It helps me a lot! much appreciated! One little problem, I've set all the instructions you gave. But, when I rotate the camera (head rotate input) to the max or min clamp value, and then move my player to the left (no mouse input, just W/A/S/D movement inputs), the player's head is still on the max or min clamp rotation and not following the camera direction. Any solution for this kind of problem, mate? Looking forward to your answer. Thanks a lot in advance!

im having a problem when the jump animation plays the character gets blown up every time the land animation plays i think its something to do with the animation being a additive i also get a error in the message log that land is a non additive animation and its trying to play a pose that is expected to an additive anim instance can anybody help me on this

Thanks for the great content! I heve the issue that when i parent camera to spine 5 socket it seems to use rotation roll? how can i fix it?

Thanks for your vids!

Everthing is working great for me! But the head doesn't seem to tilt, all the blueprints are correct, and the camera sockets are on spine_05, what could the possible issue be? :)

if this was replicated for multiplayer would this work as if you added camera to a TPS character or is this done traditionally where you would want to have a different character for client and one that others see? just curious as if foot IK would mess things up for what the client vs others see. great learning material though!

Man I dont know what has happened, Ive restarted many times and still getting same outcome PIE: Error: Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property CharacterMovement". Node: Set isFalling? Graph: EventGraph Function: Execute Ubergraph Anim BP Chandra Blueprint: AnimBP_Chandra I spawn in fine, see my idle animation running on hands, but i cannot move (wsad) rotation is fine Any ideas what can solve this mate ?

My project had crashed in between this tutorial and the last one. My project was beautiful and the tutorial was running smooth. With said crash it broke some files and I am unsure how to fix it because I am unsure where it went wrong. My character no longer looks left or right. I went into my metas BP and noticed the 'Use Controller Rotation Pitch' was unticked. When I ticked it my controls then became wonky and the feet no longer stay grounded and the rotation is completely off center. I am lost.

help i am falling forever

[PROBLEM] For some reason my character's beard doesn't follow his head movements

Another great Tutorial... I'm sure I missed something. my character keeps falling forever. any Idea what it might be?

Posting a comment here so everyone encountering this problem can see this, if you are using 5.4 and getting the error "Trying to play a non-additive animation 'MM_Land" EDIT: read the comments below for the real fix

is not replicated !

"Trying to play a non-additive animation 'MM_Land' into a pose that is expected to be additive in anim instance 'AnimBP_PERSON_C /Game/FirstPerson/Maps/UEDPIE_0_FirstPersonMap.FirstPersonMap:PersistentLevel.BP_PERSON_C_0.Body.AnimBP_PERSON_C_0'" I recieve this error, and it looks like my camera collapses into my body on landing until the animation returns to idle.
