Learn how to use Motion Matching to connect between your Character and animation in just 5 min.
Motion Matching is a system that meant to replace the current state machines. The special thing about it, is that it continue to select the best frame of animation to play out of big a animation pool using 3d trajectory prediction and it can be used to many things like vaulting, safe roll at landing or do what ever other thing you want.

@FPChris Месяц назад

How do you add different states and switch for walking to crouch or jump? Do all of your animations go in one database or multiple databases per state?

@KartoonDevelopTips Месяц назад

As it seems, epic ment for it to be on the same database. Currently its not working for me Everysingle time, so I am still trying to figure it out but it does work for most of the times so maybe i am just missing animations. But anyway, you can just do 2 different databases as well and switch between those in the ABP if you want to keep it simple.

I AM HAVING HELLA ISSUES, when i go to migrate it tells me to select the content folder, i do that and it just overwrites the existing animations instead of adding them into the character folder like the video shows. idk what im doing wrong but its just keeping the same file paths as the lyra project, i have migrated everything into a totally seperate build and it still creates a lyraproject folder, if i select any folders besides the content folder it gives me a error that its looking for a content folder. PLEASE HELP

@KartoonDevelopTips Месяц назад

Hey, sorry i didn't understand exacly what is the problem. It's suppose to create the same file path as the lyra project in the video you can see it as well.

@kwabaj1585 27 дней назад

Not working, something very odd is happening that has plagued me for the past week. It's odd because a week ago it was working just fine. I've followed numerous tutorials and done exactly as instructed. In the Pose Search Database, when I import the animations and then select them, they do not show up at all in the window to the right. Additionally, after following the next steps to apply them to the player character, it remains a default stance (half T-Pose). I also get a compile error after editing the AnimGraph with the Motion Matching and Pose History (exactly as the video shows). What's going on? The property associated with Character Trajectory could not be found in '/Game/ThirdPerson/Blueprints/BP_ThirdPersonCharacter.BP_ThirdPersonCharacter_C' [1065.50] Compile of ABP_Mannequin failed. 1 Fatal Issue(s) 0 Warning(s) [in 39 ms] (/Game/Characters/Heroes/Mannequin/Meshes/ABP_Mannequin.ABP_Mannequin)

I had the same problem. When adding the CharcterTrajectory component it defaults the name without a space in between. I went back to the component and just added a space and it was able to reference it.

@SuperMontana2008 2 месяца назад

Which animations are you using?

@KartoonDevelopTips 2 месяца назад

Hey, I am using the animations from Epic's Lyra project- you can see it in the video, I also showed how to import them into your project. But you can use any other animation as long it has Root Motion (meaning the animation acttualy moves and not only doing the animation in place).

@eclecticgamer5144 2 месяца назад

@3:03 you Cast *every* update. Wouldn't that be extremely laggy with lots of characters? Wouldn't it be more efficient to save the Cast to a local variable On "event begin" then use the variable during animation update?

@KartoonDevelopTips 2 месяца назад

Hey! There's a huge misconception and misinfroamtion about casting out there. It's not casting everytime. The problem with cast nodes is that as long as you have it connected in your blueprints its loading that BluePrint with the one that you are casting to. So: 1) It doesnt metter how many times you call a cast node (the same cast node) because its already loaded. 2) When you do it on Animation BluePrint for example, it doesn't change the "cost", becuase ABP is always loaded with its BP anyway. You can see it if you right click on the BP and click "Reference Viewer". BUT in other cases, if your BPs arent already loaded then dont cast, just use BPI. Becuase it IS expensive. It's a bit messy to explain it in writing, maybe ill put a video out to clear things out.

@eclecticgamer5144 Месяц назад

@@KartoonDevelopTips I Don't know for certain if you're right or wrong. But what you're saying doesn't seem possible. When you explicitly execute a node in a loop... it's not going to magically assume it's already been executed and just ignore it. It's not really a "misconception", it's how programming languages work. Could there be some specific mechanism that works around this? Sure! But I don't see how, as each explicit call to a function generates an entirely new function call, with no way to tell if it's been called before, unless an input is changed by an output, which doesn't happen here.

@KartoonDevelopTips Месяц назад

You are right, but this is different. I am not really good at putting it in writing, so I hope it will be somewhat understandable. When the Cast node is called for the first time its loading the other object as we said, which is expensive. When the cast node will be called again, the other object is already loaded. Means the "expensive and bad" part of the the node already happened. The node it self isn't the "bad" part, the permament loaded object is. I hope I succeeded explaining my self, and if not i'll probably make a short video about it so I hope it will help. Have a good week brother! Love it when people talk respectfully and putting their opinions like that.

@eclecticgamer5144 Месяц назад

@@KartoonDevelopTips Ah. Yes, I understand. I always understood as the "cast" itself was the the 'bad part'. Regardless, the cast itself does take a non-zero amount of time. Wouldn't it, therefore, be at least minimally more efficient to put in a 'run once', store result in Variable, and use the variable only? Wouldn't it *always* be simply best practice to *only* put function in a loop that *must* be executed during that loop?
