Ah really cool to see. Not often do videos tend to go over the C++ side of things and seeing that with plugin creation is really cool.

Thanks for sharing and making this accessible! I tried the plugin out, and am super excited about it! I noticed though that when I did the setup you did as an example, the player has much more speed and distance if they jump while in this state vs just being on the ground. How would one go about making it consistent? I immediately felt like I was making Tracer's dash ability when testing this lol!
@CobraCode
@CobraCode 5 ай бұрын
Hey, thank you for the support and nice feedback! I believe the distance of the controlled root movement itself should be the same on the ground and in the air since it should ignore ground friction. I believe what gives you more distance in the air is that the velocity after the movement ends is being kept, while on the ground, ground friction will kick in at that point and slow you down. On the node you can use the 'Velocity on Finish Mode' setting to get your desired result. You'd probably want to use 'Set Velocity on Finish' and just set it to 0, 0, 0 to keep the distance consistent between grounded and airborne!
@VeryTori
@VeryTori 5 ай бұрын
Thanks for responding! I have it set to 0, 0, 0 for that setting, but I noticed that the player can go farther for slightly longer if they jump before pressing the button and even longer and farther if they do it mid-momentum.@@CobraCode

HI this is incredible well useful. I found i got a few error messages in how i used it so i added a bool for compleated failed and working so i could use branchs to stop trying to cancel a non active process.
@CobraCode
@CobraCode 7 ай бұрын
Ahh I know what you mean, sorry about not going into detail on that. Before calling cancel, I always use an 'IsValid' check on the asyncAction. That will also work and is probably simpler than a bool.

@CobraCode

Hey, this is something I haven't played around with much yet, but I think you want to check the 'Is Additive' boolean on the node. You should then be able to still apply regular movement through your button inputs with the "Add Movement Input" node we usually use for walking and steering.

Hi there. I've tried building 2 diffrent projects with the plugin, but both keep showing the same error saying "Plugin 'RootMovement' failed to load because module 'RootMovement' could not be found." I'm not used to using plugins in my projects, so i dont know if this is common, but do you have any tips or ideas on how to fix it? 😅 (Both games work just fine in the editor)
@CobraCode

Hey, thanks for letting me know about this. I'll have to look into this further and see if I can reproduce the problem. This week is really busy, so it'll probably be some time next week, sorry! This seems to be quite the common problem though and might not be specific to my plugin. Apparently a fix is to create a dummy C++ class and convert the BP only project... however a big reason for turning this into a plugin in the first place was to make it easy to use in BP only projects, so that's not the greatest solution. I found this thread with many people facing the same issue and sharing solutions, so maybe this can be helpful until I figure things out on my end: forums.unrealengine.com/t/plugin-failed-to-load-because-module-could-not-be-found/472360/8

@@Kamil_Horvath Hey, I had the time to try this out myself. I built the 2D Action Platformer project from my Udemy course which also incorporates this plugin. I didn't have any issues when building or playing the game. The course also has about 500 students and I haven't had any reports so far of anybody facing the same issue :( So it seems this one is quite hard to debug and I'm not quite sure why it's happening on your end. You could join the discord (which you can find on my profile), create a thread there and @ me, so we can look into this more over time. I can also refund your patreon pledge if it doesn't work out! Just let me know.

Half of my brain is going "I want good thing for free" and the other half is going "This looks absolutely incredible how is he not charging more for this!". Safe to say, I'm a patron now 😅. I would however really like to know if there are any restrictions or conditions on what it's allowed to be used for. For example: Can i make money on a game where i've used the plugin?. Do I have to pay you a fee to you every time i make money off set game?. Am i allowed to back it up privately on a google drive?. Is a listing in my game's credits preferred or necessary?. What name should i put in the credits of my game?.

Will try to add that to all of the plugins some time tomorrow to make it very clear and legally binding.

Please change it to explicitly include the headers it needs." So I cant use it in any other project. Building the project also fails because of this.

Hey, sorry about that, not quite sure what's going on there. I managed to build a project with this before. I guess it might be a difference in operating systems and the built and intermediate files don't match. Can you try going into the RootMovement_5.3 folder and deleting the Intermediate and Binaries folder? This should trigger a recompile.

​@@mileshodge3477 I was trying to teach actual problem solving skills. I'm even showing how to work with the UE source code and find what you're looking for. There is a huge misunderstanding in UE when it comes to plugins and your comment of 'nobody came here to code a plugin' shows that. Plugins in Unreal engine are THE WAY TO GO to actually make reusable and stable features. This is something that EVERYBODY should do and that was also part of what I wanted to teach here. I also provided all of the C++ code needed as a snippet. dev.epicgames.com/community/snippets/3Gdz/unreal-engine-exposing-root-movement-to-blueprints If my goal was to maximize patreon membership that would be a really stupid thing to do, wouldn't it? Many people have asked for project files on patreon and providing a nicely packaged version of this was just the cherry on top for people that want it a bit more convenient and WANT TO SUPPORT the channel.
