Hey guys, in today's video, I'm going to be showing you how to make the head of the AI character follow the player's movements. So only the head will smoothly rotate to follow where the player goes.
A simple fix for a minor bug in the code: imgur.com/a/0YOfRrq
(Please read the above link, I have explained it all in there. The bug is that if the AI is facing a different direction, it won't work perfectly, this fixes that issue.)

A simple fix for a minor bug in the code: imgur.com/a/0YOfRrq Please read the above link, I have explained it all in there. The bug is that if the AI is facing a different direction, it won't work perfectly, this fixes that issue. I only noticed this after uploading the video, so my apologies for not covering it in the video, but I have fixed it for you already. All the best to you all, stay safe!

@zoravibes 2 года назад

Not a fix as the AI still looks off in other directions if oriented toward + or - X.

@stephenmontague6930 2 года назад

Hey, could be wrong, but here's a simple fix : Just subtract [FindLookAtRotation, Z (Yaw) - GetActorRotation, Z (Yaw)] in the AnimBP. You'll need to use a TryGetPawnOwner node (same as before) to do the GetActorRotation, and Make sure the Order of subtraction is correct. I've tested with an AI facing 4 cardinal directions, world (x, -x, y, -y) and it always turns to the player now. Thanks for the overall setup. Still a "Liked" video. Good luck.

Thanks so much for this man! This is exactly what I was looking for! Literally thought "Has Matt posted a head rotation tutorial?", and here it was! Massive thanks dude, you're the best! 😊

@VSimCardV Год назад

Nice tut! You can also do this by using "Transform (modify) bone" in the anim graph of the animation blueprint, if you don't want to make the pose assets and aim offset.

@Vexod14 Год назад

Thanks for another cristal-clear tutorial Matt ! This helped bringing aim offset to my clones & droids =D

Hey Matt thank you for your tutorials i learned alot from you and you explain everything very well i want to ask if you can make a tutorial about animations in First Person where you interact with objects for example you open a door and your fps hands interact with the door or you climb a ladder what ever i want to know how to get the correct position between the character and the object for the animation to look smooth i have watched your ladder tutorial for TPS but it is not what im looking for Thanks!

Dunno if it would be easier using control rig and moving the face by using Aim Math node and using the target as an input?

@MattAspland 3 года назад

Possibly yeah, I haven't messed about with UE5 and control rigs massively just yet, great idea though!

@Medicbobs 2 года назад

Trying to animate a tripod robot. Do you think this tutorial will work with that?

@TorQueMoD Год назад

This is an overly complex way to get an NPC to Look at the player that also requires you to make custom animations to cover a multitude of scenarios. Like what if you want the NPC to look at the player while walking? The easier method is to simply GetActorLocation of the Player Reference you made and promote this to a variable called LookLocation, then in the AnimGraph add a "Look At" node in between the Locomotion State and the Output pose. Highlight that node and where it says Look At Location under the Target category, click the Bind drop down and select Expose As Pin. Plug your LookLocation into the pin and set the Bone to Modify to the Neck bone. Then Under Look At Axis, uncheck the Local Space pin, set the Look At Clamp to 50 and interpolation time to 0.25. Done, and it'll work with all animations.

@LorneDev Год назад

omg that was easy, thanks

@YouZido 9 месяцев назад

Interpolation time is broken as it can't be set, there seem to be a bug. even if you set 500 the look at will still snap

@dirklourens9146 5 месяцев назад

works perfectly thx

@errormachine5056 2 года назад

sometimes small things stump me. like you went immediately into the asset details tab. i dont have the asset details tab. how do i get it to appear?

@CommanderColson 3 года назад

Could this method be used at the AI’s waist to simulate AI aim offset? As in get enemy shooter AI’s to shoot up at me if I am above them, and down at me if I am below them?

@MattAspland 3 года назад

Hey. this could absolutely be used for that yep. If I'm understanding you correctly, I made a video on this previously :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PZqzhGhANx4.html

Hmm @10:04 for some reason the yaw barely changes for me, by like 0.0001 no matter how fast I move, maybe this doesn't work for a 2.5D sidescroller?

@thedog2320 3 года назад

having a problem where it is not accounting for the actors rotation. so while my actor is facing north, it works just fine, when he faces south it appears as if the values are inverted so instead of looking left to face me, he faces right away from me and transitions to the other side as i cross his line of sight. any idea what that might be?

@zoravibes 2 года назад

The video in the link below works perfectly!! It doesn’t require any animations, it’s not even a quarter of the work, and the AI will even look up and down at you without ANY bugs! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FxyRzooc-lM.html

UE5 anim offset 1d wont budge at all. Don't know whats wrong.

@unrealdevop Год назад

I've been using this method for days now and it isn't working properly. I came across your video and was hoping you might understand why....basically I need the Pitch Value off it to adjust the aim for a small creature so that a Zombie swings downward at it....I used the same method you did but the Pitch value returned seems to be incorrect....it's too small. I'm not sure I understand why either.

Know what scratch that, I had the Pitch disconnected on the Anim Instance Side lol
