Finally someone who seems to be teaching the propper way to do things. i would pay for a complete course from you

For anyone stuck at 12:33 who're using niagara instead of cascade, the node you want is called "spawn system at location" instead of "Spawn emitter at location"

for someone who has learnt unity and has been a professional for 4 years, Your content seems like the best to get started from!(after watching some beginner stuff from unreal sensei)

Another home run, I am watching it right after the damage system video and I love how modular and expandable this projectile system is. Thank you for these tutorials you are the best Unreal teacher on KZfaq hands down.

All your tutorials are amazing! Please don't stop making content.

Just wanna say ty for your content. Studied a lot of Tutorials/Courses the last weeks. The way you teach is 10/10. TY !

I didnt expect this tutorial to be so thorough, much more informative and well explained than probably every other video Ive seen on this subject

Best Unreal tutorial i've seen so far, tysm for the content!

Amazing tutorial with amazing use of OOP principles

Really excellent. You have a great pace. You're covering a lot of great content quickly and concisely while at the same time carefully narrating and explaining everything you are doing. That's a very rare ballance. I've subscribed.

Halfway through. This information is sticking cause I debugged some errors I made in the last video on my own. Very helpful! I got two simple modes to make after I get through a few more of your videos. Thanks!

thank you so much!!! I love how you explain everything as brief as possible to make it easier to understand I'm not a programmer but it gave me an idea how things work and the blueprints look so neat and understandable! subs!!!

I frickin love this man. I have been in tutorial hell for the past 2 months, trying to learn as much as I can with UE5. There is a huge trend of tutorials not really explaining why they do things and rather, just show you how to achieve it... so I never really learn. Your vids are genuinely the first time I can follow along, learn, and get the result. It would be amazing to see your take on how to do a climb system in ue5 (most climb systems are old and outdated). But anyways, Thanks for all these amazing tutorials! I plan on watching all of these vids to get some ideas for my first project. (Also, congrats on 10k subs!)

Your Tutorials are the best. More people should watch it.

Amazing tutorial, thanks you so much!

This was a great utorial on projectiles. I will be keeping an eye out for your content.

That was fantastic. Looking forward to more lectures. Personally, I am interested in learning how to create In-game shop&Sell like in JRPGs.

Such an amazing tutorial. Hands down the best I've watched. You're not only covering inheritance / dispatchers / interfaces but also showing us how to utilize them. I'd be interested in a course about weapon selection system where you can switch over different weapons.

Love the content. The projectiles look great

For others that might attach this to a real player character: - To avoid the collision with self you also need to add "Ignore Actor When Moving" inside the Character Blueprint (or wherever you wire the attack). Otherwise it doesn't work properly. This is also stated in the comment of the method. In this case the target is the CapsuleComponent, and the actor is the return value of the "Spawn Actor Projectile" method call. - If you have an impact particle / niagara that is flat (e.g. I have some kind of ring with fog from a laser - in isometric perspective) you want this particle to be oriented against the impact object's surface. You can achieve this the following way: From the "Break Hit Result" node you take the "Ïmpact Normal", then "Make Rot from XY" - X and Y Input is both times the "Impact Normal"-Vector Output of the Hit Result. Then the ring will be oriented with it's edge to the surface. The only thing to do left is: Break Rotator -> Add 90 to the Yaw (Z) Axis -> Make Rotator from original X and Y, and the addition result. Use this rotator as input to "Make Transform" -> "Spawn Actor Projectile". I don't know whether this is the best approach though - but it should work for all kind of flat designed projectiles where the particle's surface is perpendicular to the floor (meaning it has no rotation applied at all) - spherical projectiles will not be influenced. - If you use a Paragon Character that has a Weapon included in it's mesh, there is always a specific socket called "Muzzle_01" or similar - you need to look this up in the Mesh. So to offset your projectile from exactly where the Weapon is, you can just use: Get Socket Location (Target = Get Mesh From Player Character, In Socket Name = Muzzle_01). You can use a variable here if you have multiple characters and so on. This is just to know how you can accomplish this. This needs to be used as the location Input for "Make Transform" -> "Spawn Actor Projectile". The socket location will always be according to the animation automatically - this is so cool :D! - All of these points have led to a good result - but sometimes I can still outrun the a projectile and clash into it :D. I think for a real player character one should add the velocity of the current character to the velocity of the projectile - as it would be in the real physical world as well. This way one shouldn't be able to ever catch up to the projectile, and you have the real doppler effect when running forward / backward.

Ali, these videos are really helpful! Keep up the good work!

Love the vid, and the damage system vid!

Epic tutorial. You are my hero.

Another amazing tut. Thank you so much!

ilove your tutorials .. they are really well structured, one learns new skills ^^ keep up the great work

Thanks for sharing your knowledge, this helped me a lot!

Really amazing content! This has helped me become much more fluent with UE5

Thank you for the tutorial 😊.

Excellent work!

Perfect Video - Exactly what I was looking for. I really like that you come from a Software Engineering Background (like me). I was already asking myself how I should structure certain things - as the engine and the huge API is quite overwhelming in the beginning. Glad to have found this in your videos (many do not incorporate this). What also really helps is that you seem to use exactly the intended API functions for their correct purpose - this is also something I was not seeing that often on youtube - same time asking myself whether a certain approach is the right one (some people compute super complex vector math although there is an abstraction or higher level API in the engine). Anyway - I already subscribed and will watch the whole enemy AI series and all other videos for sure. Thank you for the good work!

Noice! Lots of ideas to execute on!

i know that this message won t be read, bu you just saved my life with this tuto

I didn't know projectile movement component works like that, thank you

This is just great! Second Tutorial done, everything works. Thanks a lot! >>> On To The Next One!

Amazing good tutorial ! You are Awesome thank you !!!!

If anyone is wondering. The set velocity in the RotateToTarget event is an kind of an "auto aim" from the instant you spawn the projectile after setting a target, the homing part in constructon script does the homing part in the sense that you can shoot the projectile in any direction before it homes in on the target. At least that is how it seems to me after testing the script. Cheers to Ali for good content!

you're great man

My friend Believe me you again saves my life. Thank You So Much

First off, great tutorial. This added a lot of clarity for me. I'm trying to figure out a way to have this work on multiple targets. It seems that when this locks onto a single target it has trouble with proximity to other enemies. But for single target this is great!

Lifesaver! I'm working on a game as a new indie dev and I have virtually no exp coding and I'm already a big chunk of the way to making it happen

Thank you!

Idea : Make an inventory system for your character. And when enemy dies they drop random things that you can take and hold it in your inventory.

Very good tutorial. But the Project Isle kills me 🤣

Love the videos. There does tend to be a problem in this video in the last 10-15 minutes where certain blueprint nodes (like the projectile targeting stuff) is clearly made off of the recording or edited out and the audience has to guess at what you're doing. One example is the target variable was made in the enemy blueprint, but it was not accessible in the player blueprint so I had to assume it was the same one (you just drag and drop it so clearly it was made off-screen). The other instance of this is the not exploding on the player. This was also made but not recorded. Other than that great video, excellent quality, and great content. Following along is easy and the video is quite well made overall. I'm enjoying following your videos and adding them to my own game portfolio

If you're at 26:13 and your ice projectile is not rotating to the direction its being fired, go to your world viewport, click your ice projectile, click ProjectileMovement system under it, and check "Rotation follows velocity." I'm trash with UE5 but had to find that one out myself and feel accomplished. Maybe it helps someone.

bro you continue to make magic attack system with its damage addition part too including vfx as no other video creator is on that and if you fill up that empty spot you will grow rapidly and be the person who helped many people complete their dream game. and btw you earned a too 😉

If anyone is having werid issues with collision set the collision container to be the root(drag it on top of the DefaultSceneRoot) otherwise collision events will be broken for everything but pawn collision.

I would really like a tutorial for a simple inventory, from which you can equip or unequip say melee weapons and armor instead of picking them up and attatching them to the mesh without any or much casting

Finally KZfaq recomended something good. Subscribe and like

Would love a tutorial for widgets where you can choose an option to for example modify stats of your projectiles

Good video, but the zoom in portion when you're clicking seems to cut off portions of where you click and it misses. Because you don't state the full command, it's sometimes harder to follow along. If can prevent a super zoom, it would be pretty helpful :)

thanks i can make a lot of games withyahelp allah bless u

yoo This is wat i was exactly looking for. thank you, can you make a tutorial on a bit more variety of spell like an aoe attack, homing spell and a buff and a aim system. Once again thankyou :DDDD

This is so helpful for my game and you are really good at making easy to understand tutorials with great pacing. I had one issue with one of the projectiles which seemed to collide with the camera boom(spring arm) but I made a custom collision channel that I called projectile, I then use that in my projectile base and I chose to ignore camera + projectile which seemed to have resolved the issue. If there is a better way to do it, please tell me!

Hey man, Amazing tutorial really helping me learn a lot about projectiles, cant wait to dive into your damage system. I'm just wondering how did you add variables to the spawn actor at location node in your demo projectile shooter?

Awesome vid. Keep it up!! Helped me a lot. On another note, does anyone know how to make an attack range for the attacks? If target is in range, then the attack can go to it, otherwise the attack can't be fired.

how would I go about it in a way such that the projectile goes through all friendly npcs and only hitting the ones which can be damaged?

Thank you! How to ignore collisions of projectile? It destroys each other if click fast

Make sure your colliders are at root otherwise collision may not happen

This is an awesome tutorial! I wondered, would you by any chance be able to help me with allow the projectile to have a random curve when fired? Other than just homing, it would look cool if it shot out and up into the air (or down) randomly in an arc before heading to it's target.

Hey Ali, thanks again for a great tutorial. Quick Q - I cannot alter the speed of a projectile during run time with any variables we've set, nor directly adjusting the speed via the particle movement component. Any ideas how to get this going?

Loving the tutorial!! Complete beginner and learning a ton. Any idea why my camera zooms way in when my skills go through me? I tried turning off camera collision on my mesh and didn't effect it.

@Ali so i haven't finished the video just yet but I was wondering if I wanted the child's to consist of 3 projectiles instead of one are we just duplicating them in the BP so we can see the min the viewport? or is there another setting? I haven't finished the vid so i'm sure you will get to it but your videos are amazing please keep it up. Whatever game you are making I will buy :)

Your stuff is impressively helpful for a beginner like me. I have completed the entire tutorial with full success except my particle system doesnt fly with the mesh. The mesh (I used a missile with a flame trail instead of an arrow, but same idea) tracks and flys, however the particle system disappears as soon as its spawned. When I place the actor in the world, the particle system is there, but the spawned actor doesnt have them. Any idea what Ive overlooked?

I would like to add a VFX before the effect where the projectile starts moving, but I'm not finding the right nodes to create it. Do you have a tutorial that explains this part? Example: a muzzle effect when firing a weapon.

Is it better to use this “projectile” system for gunfire, or a simple VFX and simulated hit calculations for efficiency? Because, wouldn’t all the calculations of actual “projectiles” be heavy on the memory especially if there’s lots of gunfire? Or is it the opposite, where having projectiles is better for memory usage..?

I did collisions exactly the same as you, but my actor still goes directly through any obstacles.

Great tutorial followed it to the end but I seem to have an issue not sure where its originating from but when my projectile is shooting its not doing damage to the enemy any chance I can get help with that I did go though the tutorial again but didn't find any thing that I missed but I could be wrong

HI these have helped a ton in learning and understanding some of the previously foreign parts of the game engine when I finished up with the damage tutorial I had a rather unique issue with the rig I made for a slime enemy causing the capsule to not follow root motion in the animation so to counteract this cause I didn't feel like redoing the bones in blender I extended the trace but as a biproduct of this workaround I realized there was no way for the enemy AI to determine if the capsule they were hitting was another AI, so they would kill each other when stacked on top of each other all they while being in range of my players capsule and not doing damage to the player. I'm a fan of "Valheim" but to my knowledge iron gate developed that game in unity. to get to the point here I'm wondering if there is a way to make a team system where certain npc's will fight with others of a opposing race for example. in turn creating a team for the playable characters as well which all hostile teams would aggro. for example a troll will attempt to fight with a undead enemy, as well as the player. but if an attack some how manages to hit another troll in the vicinity the attack wont damage the other troll actor. or something to that effect. I imagine this could be put into the damage system with my understanding of the engine thus far though if my intuition is correct there may be a less invasive approach. although im not sure where to start. Your videos are amazing and your time spent doing this has helped many including myself keep doing it! I intend to get real creative with the scene locations to make some cool spawn fx accompanied with some custom animations. mostly to see what i could do.

can you make a tutorial on aiming the projectile with the mouse

bro make a course on udemy pls you are perfect instructor

As people said before, this knowledge is worth a lot, I have paid for courses that were not clear and as good as your videos! Thank you Also, is anything different with UE 5.3 that change the default settings of the projectile or the mesh? When I follow this steps in UE5.2 it all work, but in 5.3 it appear that it does not simulate the movement, only the gravity, I even tried in a new project, but can't put my head around what is causing the difference in behaviour

would there be a way to hook the projectiles up to an object?

I’m still have trouble with the projectiles hitting my player catcher

Hello! I am using your tutorial for my enemies to do damage to the character. I want the player to have an ability where they can block the projectiles to stop the damage. What is the best way to go about this? would I just make the sphere surrounding the character block all dynamic so it can never hit the player? thank you for the great tutorial

Hello ,just for know before go into the tutorial , the dark matter effect is from the epic content or its yours ? I looked the epic template and didnt see this effect

How can you make it wind sensible for exemple ? i'd like to implement this kind of mecanics but i don't know how

27:25 is this how you would add conditions to whether or not the projectile is homing?

Ive checked literally everything more then five times but can't seem to figure out why I keep receiving: Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property Target". Node: Set Velocity Graph: EventGraph Function: Execute Ubergraph BP Projectile Base Blueprint: BP_Projectile_Base My projectile wall is shooting the ice lances sideways instead of straight on, it worked before but somehow after a compile it stopped working and I just can't see what's wrong, what should I do?

Hi thx for the tutorial it been very helpful starting out. But i've ran into a problem and dont actually have a clue how to solve it, when i spawn the projectile too fast while moving, they are colliding itself. is there any ways to make projectile ignore each other thx

Do you have a video on making this replicated? Im trying to make mine multiplayer but the projectile movement is choppy on the client and it will not change the rotation to follow velocity

hey, im using a top down shooter template- everything is working okay however whenever i shoot, the projectiles dont go forwards? they project from the side of the player. any idea whats causing this? thanks

issue at 27:48 I cant find a "set is homing projectile" node only a "set is homing" node so I dont have access to the target input... anyone else?

Hi, thanks for another great video. Please tell me why my projectile flies to the side after adding the scene; when I select a target, everything is correct, but when I simply release the projectile using the left mouse button, it flies to the side and not where the hero is looking

Hi! I really enjoy your videos. Question, how do I assign different damage for each projectile? Because as of now I can can only change the damage via S_DamageInfo. Keep the great videos coming!

Looks nice, but projectile actor dissapears along with niagara, it just pop out of the screen. How to fix that? For example for fireball it should leave a fire trail for a moment.

hey sorry if i’m mistaken but the video seems to be missing what seems to be a key segment from 35:56 onwards

Dumb question, but how is the target set here? From my understanding, there's no sphere trace/line trace or overlay to find a target?

Hi Ali, thank you for the fantastic tutorial. I have a question regarding the "BP_Projectile_Shoot" blueprint that you created at 29:46. I am confused about the blueprint's 'shootpoint'. Could you please provide more information about the content of the blueprint?

At 36:38 when you change the pin type and connect it to the spawn class. I did the same but don’t know why I am getting error for Spawn Transform. Can you help?

Great tutorial but how would you do a shotgun projectile with this

The projectile system seemed to work fine when I was working on it inside it's own private project, but when I tried to import this into another project, I seem to have trouble getting the projectile to actually collide with the target. It seems to just go right through them and also seems to randomly push the target around. I am genuinely confused as to why this is happening. I've tried checking on my collision presets that are on the box collisions and meshes on the projectile and target. The projectiles do not have simulate physics on so they shouldn't have any mass, and yet they seem to push my targets around without really colliding into them somehow. For now, I'll see if I can just get it to work with overlap instead of block.

Is there any way to hear the sound on the screen where I pick which one I want to use? Instead of having to play the game just to hear the sound?

The bind event on projectile impact is causing me errors although it compiles successfully the player cant spawn these projectiles and when you stop playing it only mentions it accesed none when trying to call the the function that spawning actor its the bind event to on projectile impact

Can you show how to build a stamina system? so when user use the special ability the stamina will decrease? but with ttaking into account that diffrent characters has difrent special ability with difrent stamina

Amazing tutorial, thank you for do it. How can a contact you in private for a question?

hey i just wanted to ask 29:46 i should recreate this? because i cant add ignore actor when mooving version i use is 5.2 what do i do

I have a problem with the spawn location of the projectile, everything works good, but the projectile spawn from the left of my character instead to spawn from infront of it, did anyone had this issue too and remediate it?

Hey. An amazing tutorial, I've already subscribed and I'm looking forward to new videos. Could you help me with removing widget from enemy when he is dead. I've tried using remove all widgets, but it removes completely all widgets from the screen.

Hey, What I need to do to stop spawn projectile when enemy is dead?
