*If your character's forward direction doesn't change in relation to the camera...* ...make sure that Make Rotator and Break Rotator are connected by their Z (Yaw) ports instead of their Y (Pitch) ports

If anyone is having problems with the camera (not being able to move it without moving the character, as well as it messing up the world movement for your character), try going to your camera boom / Spring arm component in your Character BP and tick 'Use Pawn Control Rotation' in the Camera settings over in the details panel. This checkbox might've been added in versions of ue4 released after this tutorial was made.

Heads up for those using 4.9+. In Break Rot and Maker Rotator nodes the two bottom pins have swiched place.

Fly swallowed at 9:45

To sum up some of the advice on here, since some of the comments are recent... If you're having 'weird' animation issues: - Open your Character_BP. In the Viewport tab, click on the Mesh object. In the Details pane, make sure that 'Anim Class' is set to your Anim_BP. - Open your Anim_BP Event Graph. If you went back and remade your state machine, make sure that your 'IsInAir' SET node is still there. I had accidentally deleted mine and just needed to remake it. - Also in your Anim_BP Event Graph, make sure that you've attached the Return Value of the 'Vector Length' node into the Speed slot on the SET node. - Double-check that you've used 'float

For those who have a problem with the direction movement not following the camera view.. try to check Use Pawn Control Rotation in "camera boom and camera" and in events graph "break rot and make rot" link only the "yaw"

If anybody is curious up to this point every thing works in UnrealEngine 4.10.3 from this tutorial, some of the nodes look a little different but the search is still the same, Break Rot is the same but the pins have changed so you just got to look out for little things like that. Great Tuts Buddy looking forward to more :)

SOLVED: Problems with the camera moving the character. . . . 1. Inside "CharacterBP" window 2. On the left side you should see "CameraBoom", "Camera", and "CharacterMovement" components 3. Click "CameraBoom" make sure these 4 boxes under "Camera Settings" (Right side under details menu) are checked - Use Pawn Control Rotation - Inherit Pitch - Inherit Yaw - Inherit Roll 4. Click "Camera" component (on the left) and make sure this 1 box is checked under "Camera Settings" (right side under details menu) - Use Pawn Control Rotation 5. Click "CharacterMovement" component (on the left) and (under details on the right side) scroll down to "Character Movement(Rotation Settings)" make sure that this 1 box is clicked - Orient Rotation to movement Hope this helps!

Wow Its fantastic video!

If your camera is somewhat clipping go to your character's blueprint and extend the spring-arm length

For everyone who is only seeing the "idle" animation and not able to see the animation changes. Please check the 3rd person project template and see that in the character animation blueprint there are references to "get velocity" and apply that value to the "speed" variable for the animation. That step is missing in this videos..that will solve the issue.

At Last I Can Run The FEEL IS REAL

I cannot control the camera with the Mouse, and when I try to run, the character just seems to runin a fixed direction and the camera follows him in that direction. I'm using version 4.15.0 is there something missing that may have been added to this version? I went throught he comments and all of the issues that most people are having just seem to be that they plugged the yaw into the wrong place, among other little details, but I've gone back over the bulk of the videos and I have everything the way it's supposed to be. Jumping works perfectly, but like I mentioned, even when I just press forward he will run forward, but when I press right, the character will turn 90 degrees and run right and the camera will follow fixed to his back. if I press forward again, he will turn 90 degrees to the left, and so on. He will do this for every direction. The w,a,s,d inputs send him in fixed directions.

Hello, I'm having a slight problem with the in-game camera. Every time I tilt the camera so that it looks up, it is not physically affected by the ground and just goes straight through it. Do I need to add a capsule component to the camera?

So, I've reviewed all my keybinds and the movement scripts. It all seems accurate (adjusting for the changes in pin locations) but I must have missed something. My character rotates a full 90 degrees in the opposite direction whenever I press A or D and then walks forward even as I hold down the turn button. My mouse and arrow keys do nothing. Jumping works like a dream, though. any advice?

Everything is working perfectly, but I am curious why a player controller wasn't used. Apologies for the noob question?

Can find the default setting in details next to the world settings.

Wow)

Hi, I made it this far on the tutorial series and got it all working as it should. My character is working great I save everything and exit to take a well deserved rest. I go back to the project now to find that my character wont look towards where he is walking and he's jump is a lot less than what it was.... At least the jump issue is a quick fix but what really worries me is him not looking to where he walks...as he was doing before saving and exiting. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

okay so I have copied the exact anim blueprints from the third person character project into my own. I have also done this with inputs and the event graph of the character. My character does appear and has idle animation when playing. Here are my issues: my character ONLY has idle animation playing from the anim bp that is active on my character BP. Yes I have used proper node connections in event graph of anim bp. When I use a, or s, my character turns at a 45-90ish angle but whips right back to forward if I am pressing w as well. If I hold the a or s key, the character continues to move in the weird direction until I release it and then moves back to the forward of the w key. It is almost like there is a compass that causes the character to go a set direction for wasd. I have gotten my mouse x to control the direction correctly, but I cannot pan my camera around my character. The y axis where I should be able to look up and down also does not do anything. One last issue: My characters jump and animation does play, and my character does jump, using these nodes.... but the jump start anim is a few seconds long, so when I click space bar, he jumps by using the default z axis elevation, but does not wait until my jump start animation is done. Any ideas for any of these things? (keep in mind i have read several comments about similar issues and have not seen a resolution to my own issue. At least I did not see one, I apologize if this issue is a repeat lol.)

is there a way that the character doesnt slide wheb walking/running

Had an issue with 4.19.1. Character movement rotation rate was default at 0 on the Yaw (Z) axis. Needs to be set to 360 so character will rotate too to input direction.

Hello, when I am trying to use "a" and "d" buttons; my char moves left or right while facing front. I mean, animation does not face right or left while going right or left. Any solutions?

my character isn't automatically possessed, even when setting him to in under the possess feature when hitting play. using player 0 does nothing. anyone know where i can edit that feature so i don't have to click possess everytime manually?

So the problem I found was I accidentally grabbed TurnRate instead of Turn (or maybe I mis-assigned what they should do?) while setting up the blue print. That and Reattaching the camera to the boom, as Detoxxish mentions, also helped.

So I did everything to the of my knowledge as close to what was shown in the video everything works fine except when I walk the animation doesn't play idols while walking jump is perfect any tips on how to fix this?

hey. My Character Runs (play Run Animation) at the beginning of Jump animation , i've realized that in the Locomotion , when i Press SpaceBar , it goes all the way through the idle_walk_run Blend space and then transmits to the jump Start. i mean when the character is at Idle State and i press spacebar , it plays walk and run animation before jump_start i did everything just like the videos , im using 4.16.1. what should i do to fix this?

I'm doing this in UE 4.9 i tried testing the game but my character never spawned,I checked to make sure my playerstart actor was in and went back through to double check the characterBP. nothing was wrong but I remade it just in case, I also did the same process for the game-mode but when I restarted it my character never spawned.

Well, I thought I messed up. Turns out, the mouse movement only works while the character is in motion, and I'm not used to A and D actually turning, usually they strafe. I was so confused at first.

my character doesn't even pop up for some reason, i followed all the previous tutorial in the right order 1 by 1 and did the same things for everything

I have found that reattaching the camera to the cameraboom solves the weird movement problems. I am using UE4 version 4.16.2

Okay, so I got everything to work, but I have two small issues. On my PS4 controller everything works fine until I start rotating the camera, then the controls of my character seem to invert or change. The second problem I have was with the keyboard and mouse controls. The character does not turn towards the camera view while walking with W and S, instead the speed starts to lower and the animation goes into a walking animation. Anyone here knows what's up? I feel like these are easy to solve but still going to be gamebreaking if not handled properly and since I just started using Unreal I would not really know what's up. Thanks in advance.

My "A and D" are making the same of "W and S", they just go to front and back, doesn't go to left and right, whats wrong?

Help. Camera won't move with mouse. Cause unknown. WASD works but character or camera swing to right side when key pressed yaw hooked up to yaw use character rotation box checked in camera swing arm

Cam/ControlProb mouseX is turning my camera but not my dude.. wasd keeps moving him the same directions no matter where Im pointing cam (dude's moving, cam is turning, dude is not turning with cam) rechecked 12 and 13 as well as the early input vid and everything seems fine - the characterBP CharacterMovement component has OrientRotationToMovment enabled - class defaults have UseControllerRotationYaw disabled - camera is on the springboom - springboom has UseControlRotation enabled (and the pitch yaw roll inherit enabled (unchanged, as per vid instructs)) -- eventgraph is correct / getControlRot BreakRot(Yout) MakeRot(Yin) forward and right vector to world direction -- InputAxisTurn -> AddControllerYawInput axis value to val

In current version I had to hit play then possess a few buttons to the right of it. I used esc to stop.

am getting target option in set speed during event blueprint creation..pls help..

My animation isnt changing. Where are we setting the value of speed ?

When I rotate my camera view my character rotates and faces in that direction and will never face any direction the camera isn't facing, even when he walks/runs he only faces the direction the camera faces, does anyone know how I can fix this problem please, I need an answer as soon as possible

I am having a problem where my camera will not look up and down but it looks left and right and also my character won't look the direction i move.For example, if i press a button,the mannequin should look left but he doesn't and when i push s, he should be facing towards the camera (looking down),but he won't,etc.He just stays locked at looking forward no matter what and i don't know how to fix it.

My camera is just not moving with my mouse, it moves only when my characyer moves and face a direction

here i have a problem pls help! So when i move, its like the default direction points to one way and for example w doesnt mean forward it means south. so everytime i wanna move to south i just have to press w despite of the camera direction.

my camera move but it won't move up and down , it did move left and right at my character

My charecter is just in t pose and is not using any sorts of animations pls help (i am using ue 4.19.1)

Thanks for the excellent tutorials. I'm having an issue with my character not turning with my camera movement with my mouse. The only way I can turn is by physically pressing buttons. I am not used to using mouse and keyboard, so is this the way it always is? I hope this makes sense ? Please help someone !

my character is only looking in one direction, ( the direction of the camera) and isnt turning around it moves in universal directions ( north south, west east) but keeps facing in the direction in which the camera is facing, also while moving and he only has one running animation :/ AND he doesnt have the "jump" animation, so he just jumps and does the running animation in the air PLS HELP

_VER 4.19.2 Problem :: my character doesn't turn in the direction I'm facing the camera, it just walks in 4 directions and is not affected by where I'm pointing the camera at all Solve :: In the video, break rot and make rot is only connected with Y(Pitch). Connect X(Roll) and Z(Yaw) too ! Make 3 connection x-x y-y z-z This way is how i solve the problem. Hope it is helpful

tried 5 different versions of camra controls absolutely none work for the newest version of unreal getting annoyed

my forward and backward movements won't work how do u fix?

We had walk animation in the blend space, how can I make my character walking instead of running

hellow can you make a video trying to change the gamemode with other using a box with blueprints?

My character doesn't auto possess. How do I fix?

Everything seems to work except for the camera movement up and down and when the character runs towards the camera, the camera does not rotate behind the character. I am not sure why. I have deleted everything and started over with these tutorials and still cant get it to work. Any advice?

My player doesn't autoposses. I've tried putting the character bp in the game and also not putting in, but nothing. I have to click on "posses" and then the engine creates a pawn in the game start, not even possesing the one existing. Another problem or thing I've noticed is that he has "Game state Class:" as "GameState" and in my game is in "GameStateBase" instead as default. If I change that and put it like he has, the pawn goes into neutral position (the one that shows when there is no animation) and doesn't move or animate even if I posses it. Any help please? Thanks

anddd ı didint make it my camera not working and when ı press d player turning right but not like that he just turning 90 degree same it to left and when ı press s player turning 360 degree help :(

12:00 Why not use a select node?

My arm is dislocated ingame.. But in the amimation tab it isn't.. Anyone help?

My mouse movement don"t work, I did all setings. Can you help me? and one more thing , can you make one more tutorial with some more animations? I want to add sword attack , swiming, swing , magic attack and talkng.Thanks a lot!

Hmm. My Character hits the ground running and doesnt stop. mouse controls work fine, a and d keys turn him and spacebar makes him jump, but s seems to have no effect. He just runs full speed as long as I can keep him from falling into oblivion lol. Any hints where I may have went wrong?

My camera always looks at the back of my character and my character always runs forward even if it is walking to the left/right or backward. How may I fix it?

I cannot see possess option in my details

guys if you cant make it just open new project but tat will be third person and open it go bluprint clasor and open and open your game too and compare ı was maked it you can do no prebllem :)

My charecter will not spawn at all, i have everything perfect. even the playerstart, and my charecter still won't appear. i need hapl.

Why does my charachter not do the running animation

I can spawn and move around but It's only playing the idle animation.

I can only move my camera, i can't jump or move. perhaps its something in latest version 4.25.3

My character continues to just jump after spawn.

My game is really messed up... The character controls are inverted for example D and A are switched in directions and w makes my character go right not forward :/ I checked my input and everything seems to be fine and i went back and looked at the tutorials but i had done everything right! so if someone could provide a resolution it would be greatly appreciated!

Something's wrong. I can't move my character or my camera.

my game isnt moving camera was too and ı go world settings and changed camrea optians and it works but w working s and a vorking d ı am gonna fix it and done :)

Hi people! How can i to do camera movement without character rotation?

my character shows up but theres no animation please help

Damnit my character doesn't turn in the direction I'm facing the camera, it just walks in 4 directions and is not affected by where I'm pointing the camera at all

According to all of the comments here, I had all of the correct boxes checked and unchecked but the camera still turned my character. My solution, which might be kinda messy but is working for me now, is I followed the instructions on this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbuflLOk2LzQiKM.html But I left "Use Controller Yaw" Unchecked. I hope this is a decent workaround. In short: Go into CharacterBP and add these: -Event BeginPlay Drag the arrow and create/connect it to: -"Use Controller Rotation Yaw " but keep the box for "Use Controller Rotation Yaw" Unchecked. If anyone knows the proper way to fix this, even with the correct boxes checked please let me know. I imagine this messy fix will come back to bite me.

My character is not spawning when I press play. Anyone else having a similar problem?

my character wont walk

my controls are inverted can someone help

4:36

Character doesn't turn, jumping doesn't change the animation, and my movement changes wherever my camera is pointed but not where the character is facing. These tutorials are useless.
