Unreal Engine 5 RPG Tutorial Series - #7: Levels and XP 

11:50 For those who don't want to use a database, you can also make a multiplier float to make it more efficient. Try to connect your Max XP on a multiplier float with a 1.5x value for exemple and you will get a nice Max XP value by each next level ;).

You forgot to account for gaining more CurrentXP than the MaxXP at one time. In the IncreaseLevel, you will need to subtract the current MaxXP spent from the CurrentXP (not set to 0) and THEN increase the MaxXP amount. You will need to change the Branch in the IncreaseXP function to a WhileLoop. Hook the LoopBody to the IncreaseLevel and the Completed to the HUD updates. This will allow the IncreaseLevel to run until it needs to stop. If you set the amount in the player blueprint to something high, you will see the results after doing this. This will allow wrap-around experience points.

First of all thanks for these tutorials I'm learning a lot, thanks to what I learned from you I can now also fix some bugs. for example for running there are 3 bugs: 1- if you press the run button the stamina decreases even when you stand still 2- the event tick increases stamina infinitely 3-if the stamina ends can spint remains false and you can no longer run I fixed all three bugs: 1- did I add a walking boolean? which is set to true at the start of the movement and false at the end and I added it to the AND condition with crouched? and can you sprint? 2-In the event tick I added an AND control with NOT Sprinting saying that current stamina must be != from Max Stamina to increase stamina 3- I add a check to the start that the stamina is greater than 0 if the condition is true set can spint to true and do what you have to do I don't know if it's great but it solves everything, and I hope to be useful to someone. PS. If he fixes it in subsequent videos I'll get angry, but at least I'm satisfied that I'm learning to edit and fix things on my own. I left without knowing how to do anything :D

This is an excellent tutorial series for someone like myself with almost no experience with UE5, or any game developing software for that matter. I have very limited experience with 3d software but do have a motion graphics / video editing background. I am picking this up pretty quickly with your instruction and I'm very glad you made these videos. I just wanted to say thanks!

And I made a pelvic and head tilt forward for the sprint, as we did with the lean and it looks pretty good

if anyone gets the set percent error, inside increase stamina function, before the branch place an is valid check and use player character ref as input object. worked for me anyway. also on bpc playerstats event graph i went ahead and put is valid checks before both set percents with player character as input object

12:00 Idk if someone did this but I added a branch to double check if the XP is greater then or equal to the max XP then if it is greater then or equal then i subtract the max xp out of the xp so any extra xp you have is saved

Selecting the pelvis of the sprint animation and tilting it forward a bit looks really good

Yo man, love the tutorial. :D About the camera zoom: You can save some time and space and just put boolean (Sprinting?) into a (Not Boolean) into a new (Branch), just before the (Crouched?) and (Not Boolean) (Branch) at the start. Then you only need to put it in once, rather than have it for each camera movement.

I had issues with the Sprint action. One of the things I did to fix it was to replace the branch from (IA_Sprinting - Started) with a (CanSprint) node checked on. So here I just added in another branch with (Not - Crouched?) conditions before the (Can Sprint) node. This works perfectly. I noticed that even though it would not sprint while crouched, and stopped sprinting when I hit crouch, if I hit crouch while sprinting it would still drain stamina until I released the Sprint Key. I solved this by going to the branch after the (Drain Stamina) node adding an (And) node and then added (NOT - Crouched?) to the (Can Sprint) condition. That fixed the stamina drain if the Sprint key was still pressed after Crouching.

I love your channel

guys xp bar wont update for me when i press 2, it is set to the correct starting values but the increase XP function wont work, i followed through with it exactly, did the branch and connected the false on the set percent. iam getting no errors too. if anyone has a fix for this please let me know

I can feel the progress already, often when you say things I go off thinking I know what to do now! many times I am wrong but it is good to see how far I have come, keep making such awesome content!

BUG (first Great playlist so far second the bug is in the stamina when you drain all your stamina you can run again even if it goes all the way to 100)

Is it possible for you to please add like a character customisation system tutorial? Rpg style.

heya, is this mandatory? I'm cool with adding xp if i have to for something to work later on, but its not necessarily needed for my game.

Hey losing my mind over a slight issue can't figure it out. I've messed around with nodes for 2 different styles but Sprint key seems to be causing me loads of issues. If I want to crouch from sprint, I can make that work but if I hold Sprint while crouched, when I leave crouch I am running normal speed (500) and stamina is still draining. If I follow your guide here I can get it working like in video (So the character doesn't crouch while sprinting) but pressing crouch will slow the character from 750 to 500 and continue to drain stamina, even though they don't crouch. Thanks for the series, been really helpful getting me in to Unreal

3:45 just change the timeline to "play" and "reverse" instead of "play from start" and "reverse from end"

Hello, I have a problem when updating XP, instead of the numbers being updated they are written over, leaving the information strange and confusing, I've already checked and didn't find the error, does anyone know what it could be?

There is issue with the stamina when you run out of stamina to 0 although it can regenerate but you cant sprint anymore to fix this you have to set back the can sprint to true right after the increase stamina call at the very end of the event tick

Anyone Struggling at 18:39 I put in the wrong brackets. They are not parenthesis. I know he says that but it's late.

great video, i appreciate the tutorial, I did run into a run time error that says Accessed None, trying to read Property Player inside the increase stamina function, wrapped my head around it for a few hours but could not figure it out, any suggestions?

Doesn't look like the health actually increases upon level increase at 23:34. Any thoughts?

When stamina runs out, I can't sprint again even if stamina has recovered. 4:04

I'm having this bug where entering the sphere radius the assassination HUD keeps flickering if it makes sense and pressing the assassination key doesn't immediately cause the animation

I'd love to see the database for the XP required, I was thinking of using a multiplier but a database would be much more dynamic and changeable for future updates to games. Great work once again bud!

My Exp Bar is not updating when i increase exp,any help?

@Gorka Games i need a system for each enemy and each lvl difference between the actor and the enemy. because in other games the earned exp will go down too.

I am in love with this tutorials, i am learning something... finaly... thank you I have a problem about the stamina Run: When i Press my Key for Sprint (in my case Shift), The Functions works well, the stamina be restored and so on, but when i end all the stamina i stop sprinting but (the stamina is restoring) after is all back, i remake the input for sprinting but my character doesn't do and still walking with all stamina restored. I looked the Blueprint many times but is all write right. If you can help me pls (sorry for the bad English)

HELP!!! When my stamina bar reaches 0 it refills but i cant sprint again, i also cant crouch after it has reached 0. Also when i am sprinting and i press the crouch button, it just stops me sprinting, doesn't crouch, doesn't effect the camera just stops me sprinting.. please help as i truly don't want to break my laptop today :/

Great video but i have a question will you make a video about the AI where if it hits you it jumpscares you i know that you made a tutorial about jump scares but you haven't made a tutorial on how to implement jumpscares with AI would love to see that no one teaches this but you can be the first

For some reason when my Stamina runs out. I can no longer sprint once my stamina regenerates. Anyone have any ideas on a quick fix?

Will this system work when the character changes levels in the game?

Thanks to you, I am learning things I have never learned yet. It has been an incredible training set. Thank you very much for sharing such a work.

Awesome tutorial man. To account for excess XP when leveling up: In the beginning of the Increase Level function you should subtract the Max XP from the Current XP and at the end you should put your Increase XP function with 0 added XP instead of setting XP to 0. This will loop the two functions untill your Current XP doesnt go over your Max XP, so if you get 5000 xp you dont just gain one level and rest of it is wasted :D

Binding the xp and level text in Widget itself is much simple and easy to follow than this all. Anyways you are doing a great job, Learning the other way around is fun too.

Just a comment to thank you for your work.

Hey Gorka, amazing tutorial so far! I was wondering, do you plan on showing how to connect certain events from the Widget to display when you level up? I'm trying to figure out how to have a widget animation play when the character levels up and I'm having a hard time figuring it out. Keep up the awesome work, man!

Dude!!! Yesss we back at it lol was getting itches not being able to see ya vid yet lol 😂😂

You have completely changed your crouch system from the one where you made it in first episode? And didn't show it to us a nd now I can't follow wth is going on lol. Anyway, I guess I'll check for a better teacher. Thanks for free videos.

6:35 Is when Levels and XP stuff starts

I got the error of Set Percent in Increase Stamina for some reason

Great Video, I'm having an issue where when I debug for next level everything is working properly but the increase level goes from 1 to 0 and then stays at 0. Having a hard time figuring out what exactly might be causing this. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

Do a tutorial on how to make a Nextbot

i cant crouch what have i done wrong

At 3:37, you missed connecthing the bool result of the AND node on the crouch bool, thats why it was trying to crouch while sprinting mate!

Nice. Will take a few days till I get there.

Too bad you can only enjoy it once, very good, best channel👏👏

Some how in the last video my Die custom event broke. Now my character doesn't trigger Die when hitting 0 hp. Not sure what made it stop working... Anyone else encounter this issue? PLEASE HELP :(

Hello Gorka, Thank you for your work. I realized after the Stamina fills up if you press on the ALT ( Sprint Key ), it does not decrease anymore.. Any help?

Few tricks I did - Off of first branch for EnhancedInputAction IA_Crouch - Made the Sprinting go into an not then to the or and plugged Sprinting? into the other end of or and then added all of that to the second input pin on the AND operator going into the first branch. (This is so I can press crouch while walking or sprinting and) - In stamina section, Going into the first branch off of drain stamina. I added the same thing we added to the start. The Crouched? -> NOT -> And for 1 pin and Can sprint in the other pin to go into the branch condition coming out of drain stamina. (This was due to a bug where we were still depleting stamina if you held shift after pressing crouch, you would still deplete stamina.) This might get fixed or be irrelevant later on, just wanted to share. This is an awesome series so far, cant wait to catch up

I just finished this Tutorial and when testing everything i noticed that my Dummy is realy buggy when assasinating him. he plays the animation in only a few frames and aferwords often buggs out of the world. Any clues what could be Wrong? After the Assasination Tutorial everything worked fine.

Hey Gorka, you've been coughing since the first episode, do you have a cold or something? I'm really worried. Stay healthy, man.

UE5,ue5.2 or 5.4?

amazing series i've been following the series and everything works great. i did come into a few issues but thats just when i wasn't paying 100% attention lol

anyone else having an issue with crouching? when I crouch it plays like half the animation and returns to standing. I have to hit the crouch button 3 or 4 times to actually crouch, and 3 or 4 times to return to standing from crouching

In stats will you add strength and defense whitch will grow with the level up?

It would be also a good idea to make 2 float variables for SprintSpeed and Run Speed. Makes it easier to adjust this values :)

4:30

btw, at 10:00 when creating an input for the increase level function, if you click the dropdown arrow in front of the input item in the details panel, you can set a default value of 1. That way, you can always just call it, knowing it will be 1, but can change it if you want.

@GorkaGames Will there be more done with the stats such as points to spend on perks and other stat systems such as strength, dex, or even a magic system implemented with mana?

31-12-2023 23:52 Happy New Year Best Projekt for the Day

after the first branch in sprinting add another branch for velocity vector length > 0 if yyou arent moving and hold sprint you wont drain stamina

Hey brother. Man i'm scratching my head. Everything is working exactly as intended... except I am having the hardest time connecting [IncreaseXP] to my enemy. Any ideas?

one thing i noticed is when i jump on the bue cubes they sink into the floor will this be addressed in a further ep? dont wanna set barrels and things that should get knocked over up if theyre gonna sink too using the same physics set up on those objects

good except 13.39 in it you use a random thing and you don't tell use where to get it

It's 11 am in India broo gonna get some sleep

Why tf do u have a whistle in your intro, im at work and keep thinking someones whistling at me lol

I added the sprint function while crouching by first going into the "Crouched" Blendspace 1D file and dragging in another crouched walking animation at the 175 mark. Under asset details change rate scale to .75. In the thirdpersonBP, add an "IsCrouched?" branch after the "Can Sprint" branch. Copy and paste the "Set max walk speed" and Character Movement component, paste after branch and connect True from the "IsCrouched" branch to walk speed node. Set crouched sprint speed (I did 500). On the "Completed" IA_Sprint node, place another "IsCrouched" branch before the "SetWalkSpeed". Connect False to Tutorial programming. From True, "Set max walk speed" ->"Delay .1" -> "Increase Stamina function". Connect "Increase Stamina" to "Clear and Invalidate Timer by Handle". That's how I did it.

Great video :) but i have some issues with locomotion. When i press the crouch button while running my character doesn't crouch but the speed is set to 500 instead of keeping the sprinting value of 750. idk if its just me or you have this problem too ?

Can u make a tutorial on how to unlock items in shop at certain levels like if I have a gun in the shop an want to buy it but iam a level 3 an the gun unlock at level 15 then I can buy it once iam level 15

when i start game my default level is 0 but its level upping me and start as 1 how can i fix that

In combat system will have different weapons different blendspases and attack animations?

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? When I extend the Blendspace to 750 and add a faster running animation, it shows the sped-up Fast Run animation in the preview, but it doesn't show in-game? It just uses the same slow animation while sprinting :/ Everything else worked perfectly. Love you so much for these :)

eskerrik asko Gorka por el doble aprendizaje UE5 + Inglés :)

A thumbs up for the formatting text procedure. However, your code could be cleaner by making a function or variable for getting the HUD. or any other complex thing requiring casts and such. If you have reuable code, its best to put them in functions, macros, and/or variables.

You’re actually one of the best people I have watched in my whole life

It will be nice if at the end you have a tutorial how to replace to animation to this project in case someone have purchased some asset

8 months late but hey thanks for these videos

Mission #7 Successfully completed !!!! !!!! TY !!!!

How do I make this tutorial multiplayer

My Level starts at 2 and max xp starts at 250, can't figure out how to fix this :(

For some reason, when I deplete my character's stamina I can't "re-sprint". I'm not sure why.

Why not just make them stand up or stop sprinting and crouch?

are you make graphix like game original ?

Can you make mobile games using ue5🤔

First

He visto mientras probaba que si corrias con el boton de correr hasta quedarte sin estamina despues no te dejaba volver a correr no se si es fallo mio o en la serie ocurre lo mismo. I dont know if is my bad or is a bug that i found. I hpe u can help me

cool

i followed the video as precisely as possible and i end up with " Blueprint Runtime Error" on set percent graph, increase stamina function and BPC Player stats. what did i miss?

nice

Are you going to make the vaulting more smooth my character slightly stops for a second after vaulting

Hey, my level starts at 2 and my current exp starts at 100 (causing me to level up). The current exp is set to default 0. Any advice on how to fix this?

How is your health now

23:13

First

Awesome!
