Unreal Third Person Shooter #10 - Keep left hand on rifle with IK 

You're very welcome!

nevermind altough i found this there is just so much reliance this guy has on referencing but not stating the 9 previous episodes. IDC anymore off to kms

you good? @@HeyItzHydra

i had this issue a few months ago, went and did other stuff before returning to this series. Did anyone ever solve this issue on your end?

Changing the alpha of tha modify bone to 0. I'm going to add different weapons to the character

@@CodeLikeMe Thanks - I found a different solution to that, but it looks rather messy if you want to do conditional IK on both hands and feet. The tool is 'Blend pose by bool' - I will have to look into the alpha, that would have the same effect setting to 0 will disregard the 'Two Bone IK' all together, and it will look less messy - also the Alpha will allow you to lerp to the position! forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/animation/43716-two-bone-ik-updating-1-frame-later As it turns out - you can actually set a boolean for each IK bone, and that will go directly into 'Two Bone IK' - in that way you get the same result without too much mess.

you can make a boolean like isHoldingGun, and use that as the alpha since true = 1, and false = 0.

@@jaspervandijk27 Thanks, yes I was not aware of what that Alpha did. :-) I worked it out and did this with the "Stoopid Shooters" package, now I have these Mixamo guys running and shooting them self. It took some doing but you can get them to pick the gun and start shooting until the enemy is dead etc. then they will return the gun to their back - a good way to add a bit of life to you game. @codelikeme has a lot about this just check it all!

welcome!

What's the difference?

No

I'm using mixamo animations. But some guns can have different holding positions, in that case this would be useful

@@CodeLikeMe It should also be noted that the hand position(s) can actually be slightly off from one skeletal mesh from another. I have this problem with several of the characters from the marketplace, where their hand positions of the mesh itself (in other words, the "thickness" of the mesh around the hands/fingers) is different enough that the hand position on the gun varies from one marketplace mesh set to another.

Did you ever figure this out?

I think I have used a couple of interfaces here. Which part exactly are you referring to?

already done.

yes, actually I have done that in this series ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7MhkfHP8QP8.html

i shared that part in a previous video of the series

its always better trying to solve problems on your own. Don't consider it as a wasted time

i'm not clear

not clear, without holding the gun?

@@CodeLikeMecan I send video

@@CodeLikeMe when holding

Thanks for the feedback. I understand. But I don't have much time and a bit lazy to learn editing and edit the videos for now. Perhaps in future, If I became a full time youtuber.

Why?

Me too... were do you get this interface thing ?
