Unreal Engine Buoyancy - Making a Boat Float in UE 5.3 

Thank you very much for the video, can you make a tutorial on how to create a steerable boat?

Thanks for this, really helpful.

Lovely video mate! Would love too see a masking solutionfor the water inside the boat.

Thank you so much for this!!

Thanks. Yes, would definitely like to see how to mask out the water from the boat.

Thank you!

yes please, one to take out the water off the object

great content, exactly what i needed. im curious though how you might make the boat sink in game? I'm making a pirate ship game and I want my ships to take on water when they get shot. i figured i can simulate that by doing what you're doing and somehow link the buoyancy to the ships health, the lower the health and add a water effect for cannon balls that show below the water line. but im curious to know how you would approach it because im trying to find things on youtube about sinking ships but i just find them on floating.

I have two ships, in one I managed to configure it correctly, but when I want to create another blueprint in the same way but with a different mesh (more complex), there is no way to prevent it from turning around.

yes please, no water in boat

I love your boat series so far and i hope there is more content coming from you. You have a great way of explaining things. I Love how you give insight to the UE5 Documentations too and it feels like you're doing things like they are supossed to. I've noticed that my Boat Mesh from a Free UE marketplace asset is not behaving like the BP_Buoyancy_Example Cube. The Cube falls down immediatly when pressing Play, but the Free Boat Mesh that i use just stays where I placed it without falling down. I get the Error Message "trying to Simulate Physics on "BP_Boat_C_1.StaticMesh" But it has ComplexAsSimple Colission". I guess the problem is with the Free UE5 Boat Mesh that i use. maybe somewhere in the settings? Any Idea? Thanks alot!

i dont see any water body collision option for the collision presets HELP PLEASE

Bro thanks for this but is it possible to add this on custom material shader (a plane with a simple water material)

can you show how to use sail and clip out the water or redirect to another tutorial or docs

I might need support here, no matter what I do, my Unreal does not find Buoyancy. I restarted, I searched for plugins, googled, yet I do not find a solution. Do you have an idea what it could be?

My boat with everything set up identically sinks like a stone. Any idea why it works for the example cube but not anything else?

Didn't know the WaterBodyCustom was "kind of broken," thought it was something I did. What are the issues with it and how can we overcome them? Is there a better way to get a large ocean? I have a large terrain model with islands and have the WaterBodyCustom set up as my ocean, but I've had some trouble.

I don't have the option WaterBodyCollision in the collision presets for some reason

I have waterbodycollision as collision preset on my water body ocean, but this buoyancy cube is not reacting to it, it just falls through

It's not helpful that you didn't show how you're "adding" additional buoyancy points just by moving the scene component. It's clear you're inputting the values based on the transform location but you didn't explain or properly show how you're adding those points. Is it automatic? A feeling? And my boat is aggressively bouncing along the water by being nose down so what am I supposed to adjust?

Damn it, it's not working. I did everything you said I'm going crazy, but the cube doesn't float in the water, it just sinks, as if the water doesn't exist.
