How to Move a Character Along a Spline in Unreal Engine 5 

The joy this has brought me is priceless, thank you for taking the time to create the tutorial. I've officially hit a milestone in my project - hats off to you and other UE creators!

Great video, quick little additional tip: The looping behaviour can be made a little more smooth if you change the distance input into "Get Transform at Distance Along Spline", into a "Get Distance Along Spline" %(Modulo) "Get Spline Length". That will always set the distance to be the remainder of the loop and not jump the character back to the start (0 point) of the spline when the loop is completed with an amount that does not equate to the exact length of the full loop.

It is a very useful video for programming NPCs to move.

Thanks, how can I add pause for few seconds in some positions/point?

Hello thanks a lot for your efforts. I have a question; Can I perform this operation with VR PAWN by disabling the teleportation?

How to do that with the player characters? Press forward --> Going forward along the spline, and same for backward?

Can you create the same for crowd walking in a circle path with random size and distence

Great job! Please tell me how to set up a trigger box so that the event starts after it is completed and not at the start of the game. If you could do a tutorial like this, I would be very grateful.

Awesome, but how to make this movement without simulation, for render cinematic in level sequencer ? Thanks

Gorka buenísimo tutorial como siempre claramente 🙌🙌🙌, lo que no he logrado aún, es que el carácter se pare cada "x" tiempo, y luego continúe por el spline, y luego se pare, y luego continúe, y así...

I wanted to ask if it's possible to change the speed on each spline point? and also if it is, how to do it?

Very good and helpful! Thanks! ❤

Can you Animate speed along spine path, like if you want to slow it down at certain zones?

And again you helped me out. Simple clean and effective. Thank you.

Thank you so much for making these videos. Outstanding

Your videos are golden! Thanks so much.

thank you so much, this was really helpful!

Extremely Helpful, thanks!

Excellent Video thank you!

May I ask, how can we make our character walk along the spline, then pause for a bit, then continue to walk along the spline again?

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Everything is perfect it helped me so much in my music video :) I'm happy

6:45 Ah yes, Becourse, the word my vocabulary has been missing.

Thank YOU!!

Hi, could you achieve same thing just attaching the character to a camera rail and having that rail be invisible to camera?

Thanks man, worked great!

Hi , i want to put a camara following the character, but when i put it on it , the camara still on the same position, is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks man!!

Great demo. I'm looking for information on how I would use different animations depends on the curvature at the current position of the character on the spline or something like that. So the character motion may look more realistic on hard curves.

can you give this Blueprint ? and how to add multiple Characters on it?

I like this can you elaborate on if you have the char on the spline and he spots the player can he chase off the spline and if he loses sight can he go back to the spline?

Wow, not sure anyone metioned this, but to make a object moving along a path you need a Blueprint University degree. It is complicated, not at all intuitive and almost impossible to debug.

Video is very good by the way what is the use if this for making game it helps in animation

Thanks for solution! As we know -in common 3d-editor - like maya or 3ds max - we can smooth spline or rebuild it that means that instead 5 point inside we will get 10 ones - can we do it in Unreal engine? What operations can i do with spline in UE?

how do i use this in sequencer

Its possible to add a "Patrol" system with this to a NPC? The NPC will be able to stop following the spline to chase the player and then coming back to the Spline and continue the patroling normally?

Can player hit the AI who moving along spline? Collison is not working in it, how to solve this issue?

ı very love your tutariols❤

Nice and as always easy to follow! BTW a suggestion for the RPG Series: Sliding!

Thanks, I managed to make the player pawn move through your code!

Does it follow the terrain with this method?

thanks

Thank for tutorial, very simple and very usefull! Liked! Subscribed!

thank you so much for the video, do you know how i make it so the player moves the character along the spline (a = clockwise, d = anti-clockwise)

hey thanks for the great tutorial, is there any way to add everthing in level sequencer and render out that instead hiting play and simulate buttons

Hey I was wondering if you knew how to make a character follow terrain or shift when too close too surfaces for example: idle animation has the right foot lifted becuase the right foot is standing on a rock while the left is on the ground

hey gorka, how can i put mixamo animations in a meta? vers 5.0

Can you make the Caharcter move with the spline but by pressing a key?

hermano una pregunta, si sigo tus tutoriales de animaciones para el rpg tipo assasins creed, podre cambiar el modelo de eskeleto despues? o voy a tener que hacer todo de nuevo. tambien pregunto si vas a hacer ese tutorial pronto. gracias y sigue con los tutos bro!

I swear, you have access to indie Devs Google search history 😏

Do you have a tutorial for 3D motion? I've got a guy swimming in the air and when he is pointed up or down it's a little off he needs to rotate somewhat...

Is this how fortnite does the rail thing? If so, how do you get on and off the spline with a key press?

Can you please make a tutorial on the harry potter flying broom mechanism? I've been requesting in DM and group...

Can you please make a real tutorial on HOW to move a PLAYER/AI Character along a spline? Because this has been asked about in the forums since UE4 (bad methods/links outdated). And your vid is misleading, it is only how to Move a Character PROP along a spline - only good for something to look at in the background or people doing NON game cinematic - because if an AI is on the Spline and sees Player - the AI will keep looping. (New people may get false hope, thinking of Player/controllable Character when you say "Character." But your code doesnt handle the Player/AI Controller or transition on/off the Spline.) People are getting very frustrated at RU-vidrs who make incomplete tutorials that dont teach how to implement the feature or it's bugged. E.g. you could perhaps make a Correction video on how he did Move Player Character along a spline: /lDvBGYn-u-E?t=1378 I did this tut. I added Enter/Exit volumes that lock/unlock the player to the Spline > BPI call from Spline Actor to CharBP (movement code handled in CharBP). But the problem is with his code - it fights against the Player's Z movement. At the end of this vid, he said 'this vid is getting too long' - thus he never showed us how to fix the Z fighting. (Meaning if the Spline point is at Z = 100, but the terrain goes up like a ramp or if Player jumps, then as the Player is forced to go Z up, the Spline code fights against the Z. I split the location pin, but Z is still messed up.) So it would be helpful if you make a correction vid for 2023. Ty.

Do somebudy know, how to replicate this in Multiplayer?

Could you do a tutorial on how to get AI to shoot at you and move to cover?

How to use it in a cinematic sequence?

Hello. How to make AI run away from the character? backed up

Could you make a tutorial series where you make a game like fortnite

Yea but that is hardcoded animation and not Character class

it always goes backwards

not working

Podrías hacer un tutorial sobre como subirse a otro personaje tipo, animal o vehículo. Gracias me parecen geniales tus tutoriales.

First❤❤

how do i add this to Sequencer ?
