Hi! Btw, you could add a head stabilization inside the control rig BP to make the head constrained, that way we could still use full body animations without motion sickness 😉🤝

Great tutorial and very easy to follow along with, but I am experiencing a weird side affect of this, my characters animation reaches the max looking up or down distance before my camera, so while my character is fully looking up, I still have to move my mouse slightly further up for the camera to finish catching up.

@amdtawit9445 Год назад

hi! thanks for the tutorial, works really well. I am using spring arm to make rotation camera lag, but it makes problem that controller rotation yaw doesn't work properly, so character can run in 4 dimensions and can't rotate. Do you have any ideas how I can fix that, so player can rotate camera(right/left) and also when player press movement input character goes in the direction the camera is facing?

@PitchforkAcademy Год назад

I recommend posting some recordings from PIE and screenshots of your code in the facebook group "Unreal Engine Developers Community" and ask for advice there.

@ImIrish Год назад

Hey, this looks very interesting, I'll definitely go through the steps in this video later down the line, Added it as a bookmark. But also is this easily implemented if you wanted to bind a key press to go between 1st person view to 3ed person view?

@PitchforkAcademy Год назад

You could set it up to switch cameras easily enough, but we won't be using aim offset for this one so setting it up as a functioning 1st and 3rd person shooter is another story. What you do with what you learn here is down to you, my man. 🤘

@Rev0verDrive 4 месяца назад

I take it you are Lerp -> set relative location for crouch and prone situations. Again for server you'll need to use base aim rotation, for the ptich/yaw of head movement vs control rotation. On top of that you'll need to use camera manager -> get camera location for the literal location on the server.

This one wasn't even replicated, but thanks anyway.

@Bluemaze64 5 месяцев назад

@miken1299 Год назад

I’m new to unreal, whats the purpose of starting with the third person template rather than the first person template? Is it just so you have the full model of the mannequin? Aside from the camera angle is there any other differences from the first to third person template?

Last question i had, i implemented some roll animations when character jump over the object, and for some reason the camera is not following this animation, it looks like it stays at the same place, i know it's a hard question and probably need to look at the project but maybe you have an idea what can be done (I'm super new to unreal)

@@LeateqOfficial You need to delete the spring arm and attach the camera directly to the head. There might be a setting in the spring arm that would do it but I'm not sure.

Hi, very cool guide, short and clear. but there is one old problem, I will be very grateful if you help. If you move backwards in first-person view, then when you change the rotation angle (YAW), the animation jerks (apparently it restarts when you change the rotation angle 0->360). I will be very grateful if you help!

@astralstormgamestudios1259 7 месяцев назад

I was wondering one thing. I would like to use a bool to activate the spine rotation, how would I go about that? Like holding the right mouse it activates the spinal rotation.

@PitchforkAcademy 7 месяцев назад

Just set the bool as true on right mouse button then use it as the condition on a branch before set pitch, then on false you can use an finterpto to bring the pitch back down to 0.

Doesn't work, followed the video step by step 3 times over and the result is always the same. When you compile at the end it spews "The property associated with Yaw could not be found in '/Game/Characters/Mannequins/Animations/ABP_Manny.ABP_Manny_C'" and the same for Pitch. It seems the character cast is refusing to work, as the little debug pop up when you drag off the "Character" pin from the Event Blueprint Update Animation chain says "Character [Unknown] Class: (Unknown)"
