Casting is trying to recognize an object as a specific object or recognize a specific object as a general one, like recognized an animal as a cat or a dog. try get pawn owner only gives you an animal(a pawn in our case), and an animal might be able to bark(in our case has is attacking) or not, you need to see if this animal is actually a dog before you can use it's bark ability, this checking and converting process is Casting, it will success if it is actually a dog, and will fail if it's a cat or other animals, notice that if this dog is a corgi, then trying to cast it to a dog or a corgi will all success, but cast it to a husky will fail.

I like how this is exactly the same as the older version of the 3rd person game tutorial by UE, especially with the Wolverine as an example to casting. :D

I wanted to add a note on CASTING. He mentioned around minute 1:55 that casting wouldn't work if we tried to cast to a Static Mesh because we weren't interested in that. We were interested in Pawns, and Characters... The correct explanation is you can only CAST objects that part of a class hierarchy. For example, the class Character is CHILD of the class PAWN. So, all characters are pawns but not all PAWNS are characters. Thus, if you get a PAWN type of object, you could check if that specific object is a CHARACTER by trying to CAST IT to a character. IF the CAST operation is successful it means that the object was indeed a CHARACTER, if it fails, it is because the object was not a CHARACTER. Static meshes are not CHILD of the PAWN class, they belong to another hierarchy, thus, you can't cast it to a character.

One example that is often used, is shapes. So you might have a parent class called shape. And then child classes based off of this for square, circle, triangle. So you might only have a reference to a shape...but you want to call a circles radius function if it is a circle. If you only have a shape object, you cant call the radius function on that. So you would cast that shape, to a circle. If it succeeds, then you can call the circle radius function. By it's very nature, it's very useful for just checking if an object (shape) is of a certain type and then change logic flow based on that. Even if you don't need to be able to call any of that specific shapes methods. One other benefit that it gives you, is to check that the reference is valid at all. Which can be used for checking if something has already been initialized etc

Okay, for anyone that has the problem of only being able to punch once: You're using the wrong "Is Punching?" variable that you created in your animation graph in notify section. You want to use the "Is Punching?" variable that you created after you cast your CharacterBP in the animation graph. It should work after that. I was tearing my hair out trying to solve it!

Everytime I throw a punch, UE4 just freezes I can't do anything with it. Everything else works fine (walking, running, jumping etc.). It's just at the end of the first punch it freezes for me. I'm not sure if that's a bug in the system or something. Before when I used to double click on the punching montage it would show the whole animation, now it won't even show me the animation. I know it's the punching animation, I just don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions? :)

For anyone who's animation doesn't stop after letting go of the left mouse button, you have to type in the same exact name of the animation from your punching montage, in your CharacterAnimBP, where it says, "Montage Set Next Section". Inside this, it says "Section Name to Change" type in what ever your animation's name is down to the letter or number. If you type in "Punch 1" but in your Punching Montage it says "Punch One", then it will never work. If you need more context, comment and i'll respond right away. Hope this helps.

As a well-experienced C/C++ programmer, somehow I don't think the Wolverine is a good example. In fact, this pawn or more precisely the CharacterBP is not transformed at all. It was created initially a CharacterBP, and you can always states it as a Pawn. We may call Wolverine a an X-man. What casting does is, OK, I know this is an X-Man, but I cannot promise he has a claw. Casting helps me ensure he is Wolverine, so that I won't command the wrong guy, just like, I can't tell Cyclops to take out claws, can I?

@magicorpse 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Eric, is casting the same thing as extend in OOP? So Wolverine and Cyclops would Inheritance from X-man's but their attack would be different

Quite possibly the worst explanation of casting I could imagine, but I suppose it's kinda' hard without a full video on object oriented programming. To anyone who actually doesn't know what casting is, I suggest you try to find a better explanation.

@usernamehandle 8 жыл бұрын

I have nothing against this guy personally-I really don't, he seems like a nice guy-but what the hell? This is so disorganized. It's like we start on something, and then halfway through, we go to something entirely different and unrelated and he says, "We'll come back to it" but this isn't conducive to learning! I hardly remember how the last event graph even works since we were away from it for so long. Couldn't we have just set everything up at once? I understand that we're dividing things into sections (that are arguably to short and uneventful) but I'm getting lost in all the back and forth. It's confusing.

@valkyrie3629 8 жыл бұрын

+Christian Mitchell I'm not sure what do you mean this is unrelated. We started from adding and blending movement then connecting the movement animation with the jumping animation and setup the related rules between jumping to movement to activate the animations and added the controls. Then we added in the punching animation and now setting up the rules for what happens when these animation occurs and how should the game respond when the punching start or stops on each arm. So far all of this is in relation but this part got much more information to it. The punching part is similar to auto attack, if the auto attack was like Tera or Black Desert for example it would switch between 3-4 different sword slashes combo and loop. If you stop at slash 2 and attack again you will be back at slash 1. The punching is a simplified version of that idea(There is a lot more you can do with this part than just auto attacks) but he did throw in some extra information to help understand what these new stuff we are adding does, like the Cast node and how this is important in case you wanted more than one character to do the same thing or like how you can keep the upper body punching with different movement like in Counter Strike knifing while crouching or standing, the upper body stays still in the knife slash animation while the lower body moves with different animation. If it is the Upper Body section you are referring to as unrelated since we didn't get it done yet, he just mentioned it for our information but he had to setup the punching animation before he can do that part. It is too much to take in since you are introduced to different things all at once but they are still in relation and necessary steps to be taken to get our end results.
