Swimming Movement Tutorial - Unreal Engine 5.4 

That makes my day, I wish I could post more and show off larger projects but in the meantime I really appreciate the patience :)

Epic's buoyancy is only for physics, so I'd say simplest way is to create a new ticking component that applies force via "Launch Character" or similar nodes, and gets deleted when the buoyancy component detects exit from water.

@@peanut_games thanks I'll try that!

@@JustinJohnStanley I should add, for anything that ticks with an effect you'll have to adjust the amplitude by frame rate, otherwise advantages will be given to laggy or high fps players depending on what it is. It's Target Framerate ( 60 ) divided by ( 1 / Get World Delta Seconds ) will give you the multiplier. Put it into a universal function library and call it framerate scale or something.

Yeah it works pretty well if you swap the jump with another input for movement that only moves up the Z axis

Me too

@@JustinJohnStanley Check if the on exit water is even firing with a print string node. If not, that's epic's problem lol and you may have to use tick to check if you're in water every frame 💀

Oh, I see that I could probably infer from what I am seeing in this tutorial.

the default swimming movement relies on a manually placed collision box in the level to trigger swim so it wouldn't allow you to swim up large waves for example

@@peanut_games Thanks for the reply!
