About me:
I've been learning game development for a few years now, I do have a background in software engineering, and I also have a background in education, so being able to combine my love of gaming and love of education is the best way to spend my time.
I am currently working on this 3rd person action adventure game as a hobby, but I am also trying to build a community, thus I am creating RU-vid tutorials to find others who are interested in game development and design.
If you are interested in learning more or if you are interested in working together, please let me know in the comments.

@saberfs7507 4 месяца назад

A great tutorial, could you tell me what to do if the projectile does not change its original direction, although all the conditions from the previous video tutorials are fulfilled correctly, and when choosing a specific target through the BP of the projectile, the trajectory changes

@AliElZoheiry 4 месяца назад

Hey there, it sounds like the velocity isn't updating, so either you didn't add a "Target" to follow, or you're not updating the velocity correctly. Can't think of anything else

@stuartfrohna7470 4 месяца назад

This is by far the most helpful UE tutorial I've seen. I finished the series but have one issue that has persisted, in my file, the teleport speed is much slower than in the project files, the code is exactly the same and after still having the issue copied the code over from the project files directly but still the boss and the mage move mores slowly in my project vs the project files. Does anyone have a solution for this?

@AliElZoheiry 4 месяца назад

Hey there, glad you're enjoying this series and finding it useful! The only thing I can think of for why your teleport speed is slower, is the character movement settings on your enemy BP, there are a few factors that can slow down your character, that's ground friction, max acceleration and max speed. Check these values and make sure they are not too high or too low.

Thanks for your comment! While the specific features may vary slightly between UE5 and UE4, the overall blueprint concepts and logic should generally be transferable. Feel free to adapt the knowledge from this tutorial to your UE4 projects. Good luck!

@lonewolfenock3527 9 месяцев назад

Best AI tutorial I've ever seen. 👍 (Others are 'make AI follow you. The end'). I noticed something 'annoying'. When the AI strafs, they pass the player (1:07) to go to the target location. (Which makes the AI very vulnerable to player's attack). The teleport is okay because it bypasses the player completely (1:06). What would be a good practice to have the AI avoid the 'players attack zone/range' when strafing?

@AliElZoheiry 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, glad you liked it 🙏❤️ Indeed the strafe for the ranged (and now the mage) enemy is annoying me as well, that's because we pick the point that's furthest away from the player and tell the enemy to go there, a better solution would be: Pick the point that's furthest away from the player, but closest to the enemy, that way we ensure that this point is never across from the player, because that will always be further away from the enemy.

@jiwik731 9 месяцев назад

Hello. Awesome work as always. But is there a way how to blend animation montage by bone or something like in anim BP? Because when you are running and start to play animation montage the legs are overwritten by the montage and pawn is sliding. There have to be a way how to ignore or blend some bones in montages because stopping the whole movement in game once hit or something just to play the montage is too disruptive to gameplay. It is easy in animation BP with blend by bone but i have no idea how to do it via animation montage.

@AliElZoheiry 9 месяцев назад

Hey, thank you! Yeah you can blend the waiting animations with a montage indeed, but then you have to add an "UpperBody Slot" in your anim BP, then blend that upper body slot to the regular locomotion state (Using the 'Layered blend per bone" node) and then change the slot in the montage itself from default to upperBody

@jiwik731 9 месяцев назад

@@AliElZoheiry I knew there have to be a way. Thanks. It sounds easy enough.

I have one question, can you please show us how to implement the bocking functionality for the Player Character using the damage system?

@AliElZoheiry 9 месяцев назад

Indeed, I was considering doing that along with the boss enemy AI, to show how to block and parry the boss attacks, so I'll probably do it sooner

@dustanschutte8724 9 месяцев назад

Hey there. I made my character have the blocking function just like the enemy melee. I literally copied the new blocking set up in the melee Enemy from part 12 and instead having events to call the Block, I just set a keyboard bind to start the block. So therefore, at any time you could block any incoming damage.

@Yggdrasil777 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, you just do the same implementation from the enemy on the player. What I do is make a base character and have the player and enemy stem from that base. Put all of the goodies on the base and implement them on the enemy via functions and events and inputs on the player.

@AliElZoheiry 4 месяца назад

If it just over the attack node, that it means it's succeeding but not attacking, but if it fails at the attack node, that means that something inside the node is not calling the finish execute. Just try to trace the code by adding breakpoints and see where it stops @@Smyyytth

@dynamicplayz1897 6 месяцев назад

Hey so my enemy is sometimes flying up in the Teleport sequence which isnt causing it to vanish for a few seconds only to randomly interrupt the ai move to node, any idea how to fix this? I've tried using a timeline to fix its velocity of Z to be 0 at every update but that didnt help

@AliElZoheiry 6 месяцев назад

Hey, not really sure what's happening there. but note that when we teleport the enemy, we set the state to "flying" in order to zero out any ground friction, that also means that the enemy can now move up in the Z direction, so make sure that the location you are telling the AI to go to is not in the air

@dynamicplayz1897 6 месяцев назад

@@AliElZoheiry it is on a flat surface, and the end location is on the same level as I checked with a debug sphere but it just flies above it sometimes

@AliElZoheiry 6 месяцев назад

@tonypauley6720 6 месяцев назад

I have similar issues. If my level has any locations not on the flat surface, the mage flies off, sometimes never to return. To fix this I simply changed the mode to walking. There does not seem to be any issues with friction.

Hi Ali, thanks for this tutorial...I'm improving every day thanks to you. I followed all of your instructions but when the enemy mage cast the 'fireball', isn't direct to the player, but always in the same direction (I don't know what is aiming, but it's fixed direction) I followed all the tutorial right now: I connected the target of 'magic spell' to attack target in the BP_EnemyMage, but when I go over the 'attack target' in 'event attack', it says ''current value=none''. Have you got any suggestions? It seems like the cast doesn't read the target

@Leonardo-zb6ho 4 месяца назад

@@AliElZoheiryTake the Walk Forward animation from Mixamo, for example. You can see the character going forward and then the animation resetting, resulting in the mage "Respawning" back in the first position and then repeating the animation. The same thing happens in unreal: the animation plays and the mesh goes forward, but then he goes back to the start of the animation over and over, resulting in it jittering while walking. Sorry if I didn't describe it perfectly and thank you a lot, you're amazing :)

@AliElZoheiry 9 месяцев назад

Wow that's very specific 😅 The AI logic here isn't complicated, it's just finding the location of the dead body in the world and going to it, and dough the same for a random dumpster. But you'll need a lot of animations to make it look realistic
