In this short tutorial I'll show you how to play a different set of animations based on which weapon your character has currently equipped.

im new to unreal BPs so maybe its a dumb question but i dont get "Get Current Weapon INT" (5:40) even after casting to third personcharacter and changing the character variable type. what am i missing?

@wr4th_0f_d0g 3 ай бұрын

It's a variable he made in the character to correspond to the weapons he has. it's not native.

Can you do a series where you do a simple fps with proper inventory. Would love to see it since I haven’t seen anyone really do it.❤❤ Also do you have a patreon on something?

@PitchforkAcademy 6 ай бұрын

Simple... with an inventory. Inventories aren't so simple, my guy, but I do hope to do an FPS series (or maybe as one long video). No patreon, but folks can make donations to the channel via the Super Thanks function within youtube if they're so inclined! 🙂

Oh and I am planning to upload an ammunition inventory video in the next week or so, so people get an easy introduction into slightly more advanced ways of storing data. 🤘

I would recommend creating an enum E_Weapons and using a 'Blend Poses by Enum' node, which makes thing much cleaner. Same functionality.

Great tut! I am a bit confused about something in general: If I cast to my character then I always select my BP Char which is named "MainChar". There is also the already created Third Person BP char. If you cast to third person bp char, do you cast to this beginning character or to the parent class? Because in every tutorial from nearly all devs, the character is called third person bp so I cannot see if they are casting to the parent class or to the actual character which is named like that. I am just wondering because if I now want to create a second bp character is it working too, with everything I set up yet? Or isn't it, because I am casting to "MainChar" everywhere? This is one of my biggest question marks actually. Would be pretty nice if you could follow along :)

@PitchforkAcademy 6 ай бұрын

Did you know that you can click on Class Settings at the top inside any BP then at the top right see what the parent class is?

@aurustarsia5244 6 ай бұрын

@@PitchforkAcademy Yes I know that. So what should I use if I cast to my char? Cast to "MainChar" or cast to Third Person Character?

@PitchforkAcademy 6 ай бұрын

@aurustarsia5244 Okay so if you know that, you can go and check what the parent classes of the BPs in question are.

Lol, I was watching this series, and find in another one KZfaqr setting up of this animations pack. But it was in UE4. I've tried it literally yesterday. And today you showing how to use this pack in UE5😅. I have only one question. I use metahuman, which is not so tall, as basic mannequin. My first tries of retargeting animations was kinda junky. Is there are way to make it fine, or I just need to use metahuman the same tall?

@PitchforkAcademy 6 ай бұрын

Absolutely. It's probably not the best way to go about it, but you can retarget again from ue5 to metahuman using the retargeter that comes with your metahuman. Take a look at about 10.30 on this video to see the method: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y9p9q8SVp8_KoIE.htmlfeature=shared

Hi and thanks for another great tutorial. I followed your True FPS video series and did it from beginning with Meta Human Character instead of FP/TP Character. So I set the AnimBP already for my Player. Since I watched your videos after your "restart" with meta Human, my character Blendspace is kinda weird after implementing the FireModes and the recreation of the Weapon Pick Up Spawn logic in my PlayerBP. Now I'm watching this video to check whether I can "repair" my character animations (as it was after I used your code from True FPS Series). Now I'm a bit confused, since I already have an AnimBP for my Player (created with you TrueFPS Series) and you show in this video that you set the AnimBP of the ThirdPersonCharacter and not the AnimBP of your Meta Human, can you please briefly explain it to me? I read some comments here and you stated that in "Class Settings" you can see the "Parent Class" - Sorry for that stupid question, I'm a bloody beginner, but does that mean that the TP-Character, where you set the animations in this video, is anyway the parent class of the character Animations and will apply on my Players AnimBP? And many many many thanks to you, that you spend your time to show rookies like me what's coding about (I've learned a lot) :)

@PitchforkAcademy 6 ай бұрын

I don't really know how to answer you, except for saying no, parent class probably has nothing to do with your problem. It would help if you could be more specific, but I do understand that when you're starting out you don't really know the right question to ask...

@DigeL-el6uo 6 ай бұрын

@@PitchforkAcademy Hi, really appreciate your fast reply. Yes, it's sometimes hard to ask the right question (especially as non native speaker and a beginner), however you already answered one question, thank you :) So, please give me another try for my actual question: In your video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/apxkjbd71pe3hGw.html we created an animBP for the Player and extend it in the FPS video series with lower body anims, upper body anims, Pistol and Rifle Anims, Hand Sway and so on - In the current video you are setting up the ThirdPerson Character AnimBP - and I don't know why, because we already setup an AnimBP for our Player in your True FP Series. Do I have to extend the existing AnimBP for Player, or does it have a deep sense to do this in ThirdPerson Character AnimBP - Hope this is more clear now and thanks again for your time :)

Question: I seem to have all the code done properly after some review but I still have an error. Basically, whenever I pick up the different weapons they no longer update to their specific blendspaces. It seems to always stay in the unarmed blendspace regardless of the weapon I have. Is this enough info for you to point me to an area where I am likely to find a mistake that led to this? I have been going through this video, the simulated physics, and primary/secondary video to work on my weapon system.

@dirtydanpinheadlarry 4 ай бұрын

Okay, further investigating led me to use a print string for when I pickup a weapon to see what the CurrentWeaponInt was being set to. It keeps printing 0. Any pointers as to where in the code my error could be for this?

@dirtydanpinheadlarry 4 ай бұрын

Another update in case anybody else makes the same mistake: After adding multiple weapons, I had to update my PlayerAnim BP to: char ref -> current weapons INT (not weapon) -> set weapons INT

Oh, Current Weapon INT? It's an integer variable based on enum_WeaponName that we created as part of the Weapons System With Simulated Physics Pickups tutorial (or perhaps it was added at the beginning of Part 6 of the TFPS Series - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/it95rLh5zdXWgn0.html)
