@@Clydiie dude dont u dare to stop making this UE5 videos. ive watched lots ans you cover a lot in a singoe video and so easy, its 2am and i just finished makung this "tut". Cheers man, keep it up!
@@Xtynger lol im glad it helped bro and trust me I aint stopping but it does take me a little longer to make them and I only like to cover things I find interesting so I wont be making a video for everything in ue5
You are an absolute legend! I have given up on the other tutorials, some of them kind of worked but not very well. This makes so much more sense knowing that they were missing a component with the table much easier using the choose table than creating states, and trying to run different databases via different states. And the fact that you have added in the pistol and weapon mechanics isn’t much needed bonus for me and my project at the moment. Thanks for making it and also going through the process of importing animations and also the bonus content. I can confirm the switch and smoothly and was very straightforward to set up, I am over the moon that the algorithm sent me a notification on my phone for this video because this is what I’ve been waiting for! Thank you so much.
This is the most concise and easy-to-understand course among other motion matching videos. I sincerely look forward to continuing the motion matching series. I think it will be the best channel if you just keep focusing on motion matching. There were other videos related to motion matching, but it's a shame they were deleted.
Thanks man I'm definitely going to continue making motion matching videos especially when the sample pack comes out. I did have some other mm videos but decided to remove them since this one covers everything I had put in the other videos and didn't want people to waste time watching them. But soon as I get a more deeper understanding of mm and find something that is worth sharing I'll make a video for it
Awesome tut mate, thanks for sharing! I got it all working with a minimum of fuss, your tut builds on the other couple of MotionMatching tuts on YT. You guys are the pioneers! One little note, I didn't quite catch the wiring set up out of Event Begin Play>Sequence at 18:25, but I worked out that Sequence/Then 0 goes to Cast to Player Controller, and Sequence/Then 1 goes to Set Hidden in Game. Thanks again champ!
Thank you for the comment bro! I'm really glad it helped, my bad on that didn't really notice it until now but thanks for pointing it out and hopefully it helps someone else that might get stuck at that point. Ill be sure to explain better in the next videos.
I have run thru this great tut MANY times, setting up different characters etc. I'd love to see a vid comparing MotionMatching, GAS (Game Animation Sample project), ALS (Advanced Locomotion System), the new Universal Locomotion system, and notes on how well they play with each other etc. So many options!
Please, do you have any idea on why it not works when I use imported animations from the new Game Animation Sample? Importing Lyra animations it worked just like a charm. Using animations from the new Game Animation Sample the locomotion of the character becomes really crazy lol
The project is still pretty new, so it would he hard to give a real answer, but I think it has to do with the root motion. I would suggest watching the 2 hour live stream they had a few days ago (I'll leave a link to it here) there's a lot of great information on how they made the animations and how they set up motion matching its pretty different from how I did it. I'm still looking into how to set it up, how unreal intended, and will make a follow-up video to this tutorial when I can. In the meantime, watch the livestream. I know it's pretty long, but it will definitely help you out a lot. ru-vid.commhVp_cC9MLc?si=X2iKzJxCFm3-BL9H
@@Clydiie Thank you! getting my hands on it I think I found the problem. It's was a retargeting problem. The right way to retarget in this case is first turn off Root Motion and Root Lock for all the animations. Then regarget using the new Auto Generate Retargeter (retargeting it to UE5 Mannequin). Then finally exporting as a FBX file, importing in the project where I followed your tutorial and activating Root Motion and Root Lock again. Now I can use the Game Sample Animation in your tutorial project =)
@AlyrioNeto nice work, bro! I had a feeling it had something to do with root motion, I'm glad you figured it, and letting me know how you made it work. This really saves me a lot of time. Thank you, bro!
Cool Video!! Motion matching is fun and so far I have the bases covered with walk, run, crouch, and jump. I am trying to get hovering to work. I have the animations, but can't find the right method to use the animations once I set the mode to flying. I thought about using a blend of state machines, but that has not gone well at all yet. The chooser table is what I am trying but I can't move the character forward/backward and up/down at the same time and the hover animations don't play. I feel it should be possible!!
man I wish I had a solution for you but if I knew I would of 100% made a video for that, and I will if I do figure it out using choosers till then I hope you find a way and if you do let me know pls!!! :D thanks for the comment bro
Thank you, do you know how to get same effect like in the original one so after I turn the camera in other direction the character rotates and goes in that direction?
I understood that the tutorial is about choosers, and it's perfect. But as a improvement, wouldn't be better to change animation set (unarmed to rifle) using linked layers? Can we have multiple layers and each layer using motion matching, right?
thanks for the comment man, I am still learning so I don't have a lets just say a "correct" answer but yeah I think I would agree with you I do know that you can for sure have multiple layers using mm
@@GoldlimeDevhub You make good stuff bro! Keep making them videos too, you have a lot of knowledge that can help out a lot of people! You should consider making normal tutorials on ue5 even if you think other people have already made "the" video youtube is huge and not everyone watch's the same videos.
@@Clydiie You know what? Yeah! Imma do just that. And I'm working on one right now. You're a huge bro for the continual encouragement man. Your friends are very lucky to have you
@GoldlimeDevhub thats nice of you to say that bro I'm just glad I could encourage you to make more videos. I know it will help ur channel grow. And I'll defo be watching the videos bro. Just keep it up!
Hello! First, congratulations on the wonderful video. But I have a doubt. I did it a little differently than you. I used UE5.4, and instead of using the lyra mannequim, I just retargeted the animations and used it in the standard manny. So, when you go to change lyra's IK_Foot, this rig doesn't exist in my project and I can't get it right. How do I resolve it?
Thank you but I have no idea as that was just a bonus and I'm pretty sure only works with lyra skeleton tho I'm not too educated on foot ik but I would suggest to watch other videos on that subject
thanks man, yeah I should of shown how to set it up in this video but personally i just dont think it looks very good with the lyra animations - but all you need to do is open the bp_thirdpersoncharacter click on character movement (in the components tab) look for "character movement (rotation settings)" you can just type rot in the search bar in the details tab - then untick "Orient Rotation to Movement" and tick "Use Controller Desired Rotation" theres a bunch of videos on motion matching that will show you how to do it (its very easy) so im not going to make a video for it until the sample pack comes out
Does anyone know why the chooser asset and the anim node graphs stop working after you restart the project. I already re-did it 3 times for 3 days in a row and cannot find any solution. I recompiled the project using VS and still have that issue.
that's very strange that doesn't happen to me I've been working on this same project since and just opened it up again now to make sure. Wish I could help but I just don't know what the problem is. This might have nothing to do with it and might not even work but maybe reinstall ue5.4.1 (might be worth a try)
Honestly, I've tried, and it didn't work, so I don't think so, but im also dumb af, so... until unreal releases the sample pack so we can see how motion matching is really meant to be set up. I can't be 100% sure. So, for now, I would just set up a play montage node on ur firing weapon input.
Make sure you have selected the right animation blueprint in the chooser, make sure you have complied and saved in both the chooser table and in the animation blueprint, and I suggest just rewatching the video I'm sure you missed something
Mine does the same thing. It's the lyra animations. Not much can be done there until we get the 500+ sample pack to see how jumping is properly implemented. For now, you can set up the jump animations normally in a state machine and not use motion matching if you don't want the jiggle.
@D4KiRZ what did you remove? I've gone through and removed each one individually and other tests and gotten the same wiggling result. The only one that needs to be removed is the additive anim cause it causes the character to disappear momentarily.
@D4KiRZ I was thinking maybe all the ones that don't have loop in the name should be removed from the database, but yeah, thanks for that man. I appreciate it.
