I'm stuck, can you explain further

​ @@evensteven4367The Sequence node helped me to get this working: We're supposed to build this pick up code in the "BP_ThirdPersonCharacter", starting with an "EventBeginPlay" node, but that's *impossible* due to the fact that there already IS one of those at the existing "Add Input Mapping" section. The workaround is to connect that original 'Event BeginPlay' to a Sequence node: Once you set it up, make sure the "Then 0" goes to our new pick-up code, and the "Then 1" connects down to the original "Cast To PlayerController".

@@heavenseek Could you please tell how to do so more specific? Sequence got it, Then 0 got it, but do you mean Then 1 should be connected to where?

@@TheDay53 The very first node in the ThirdPerson BP (in my 5.1, at least) is the "Add Input Mapping" section, which starts with that much vaunted "EventBeginPlay"---which links directly to it's own "Cast To Player Controller". When we interrupt that wire with the Sequence node, the "Then 1" will re-link to it's "Cast To player Controller" ('Then 0' links to this pickup thing we're doing here).

@@heavenseek got it, thank you!

Thank you so !!!

thx bro .....

holy shit, thank you so much! been ramming my head into the wall trying to figure out why it wasn't working for me. you are the goat!

Thank you so much.

haha now you found it!

glad it worked !!

Awesome 👍😎

To achieve that, you can follow these steps: 1. Get the trace end vector output pin, which can be found on the trace line. 2. Obtain the location of your character mesh using the appropriate node. 3. Use the "vector distance" node to calculate the distance between the trace end vector and the character mesh location. 4. Based on the value obtained from the "vector distance" node, determine whether to launch the character forward or backward. 5. If the distance value suggests launching forward, use the "launch character" node to propel the character in that direction. 6. If the distance value suggests launching backward, use the "launch character" node to move the character in the opposite direction. By following these steps, you should be able to achieve the desired effect of launching the character either forward or backward based on the calculated distance.

is the gun in the world? did you get the right name of the socket of the mesh?

Thank you.

I replaced the Get (a copy) array section with OnComponent BeginOverlap (CapsuleComponent) -> Cast to BP_Pistol -> Set Pistol And then i also set the relative scale 3d and material after that so they don't reset after you pick them up

If the 'Event BeginPlay' is already used by the Input Mapping, you can try the following solutions: Rename the Input Mapping Event: You can go to the Input Mapping Event and rename it to something else that is not already used by the 'Event BeginPlay.' This should allow you to use the 'Event BeginPlay' for your purpose. Use a different Event: If you can't rename the Input Mapping Event, you can use a different event that is not already used by the Input Mapping. For example, you can use the 'Event Tick' or 'Event ActorBeginOverlap' events. Combine Events: If you need to use both the 'Event BeginPlay' and the Input Mapping Event, you can try to combine them into one function. You can create a new custom event, and then call the 'Event BeginPlay' and the Input Mapping Event from within that custom event. Use Blueprint Interfaces: If you need to have multiple events in your Blueprint, you can try using Blueprint Interfaces. A Blueprint Interface allows you to define a set of events that can be implemented by any Blueprint that uses that interface. You can create a Blueprint Interface that includes both the 'Event BeginPlay' and the Input Mapping Event, and then implement that interface in your Blueprint.

The "Accessed None trying to read property" error typically occurs when your code or blueprint is trying to access an object or property that is not valid or does not exist. This can happen if the object was not properly initialized or if it has been deleted. Drag and drop the blueprint to the world and try again let me know if it works You can also use the spawn actor from class then choose the blueprint of the pistol

It is probably being spawned somewhere else? there could be many things, try to share the code on my Discord server.

I'm not sure, but it should be memory efficient. I've never used Physics handle before.

nvm

ok lol

Finally a fix that took me less than a hundred years to do : I think the issue is that i created a blueprint for the pistol and THEN put all the meshes inside, decided to follow you step by step and right click on the mesh and create a blueprint from it, did all the needed changes for the "new" additions and it finally works, pistol goes to the socket of my character

You can add a sequence to connect multiple codes and execute them all in a sequence.

The physics can be turned either on or off When the Umbrella (actor) is on the ground Before picking up, turn off physics if it's on. >> Set simulate physics and reference the umbrella on the target I think. You want the item from your hand to be dropped straight to the ground, I would calculate the current Z velocity which is the value that shows the current height regardless of where the character is. Calculate your character Z Velocity and get the location of the umbrella and detach it from your character but before subtract the z value by the value of the current value of the character. Or a better way to do this would be with a line trace pointing straight down. Then on the node of the line trace I would get the hit location of where the line trace hitted and use this information to use it on the location of detach node.

In this case a line trace would be perfect for this, I recommend you study about line traces, it's pretty useful for most coding process in general. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r6idg9t4rduXpaM.html docs.unrealengine.com/4.27/en-US/InteractiveExperiences/Tracing/HowTo/SingleLineTraceByChannel/

@@LocoDev Thanks a lot!

Thank you! Cheers!

The pistol might have spawned with the wrong collision presets

Yes ofc

Hiya does that work for unreal engine 4 as well btw very nice tut I have been looking for something. that actually explain how it's done and u have done that thanks

@@jessplaysfs5214 thanks for the comment. Yes it will work, just use the ue4 mannequin for creating the sockets instead of the ue5 :)

Can you send me your code though my discord? I've never had such error

Just to make it a bit more clear hehe, the issue boils down to that whenever I have more than one copies of the actor in the scene, only the latest placed actor is "pick up-able". I have unchecked "consume input" on my action-event (keypress E).

I'll try to, but you can try searching it on sketchfab

Update: I have fixed the event begin play issue using a sequence node, but the issue persists.

same issue, I just don't have get static mesh when trying to add it as a node. Did you get it resolved ever?

I was having the same issue, but then i read another comment saying that you have to make a blueprint from the static mesh itself (not making a blueprint, and then adding the mesh in the viewport). when you do it this way, the default root will be called static mesh, which is what you end up adding in the event graph. i have found that the code will not function properly if you don't set up the blueprint this way.

@@auroradickerson339 that's so stupid..but thanks

hmm, maybe try compiling other blueprints

@@LocoDev I ended getting it fixed and it works perfectly now :) I just restarted, I also didn't end up using the 1st person weapon, but do you know how I could get it to be picked up like a static mesh?

@@OfficialFutureRoyale from the content browser, drag and drop the static mesh to the Char BP event graph, you're going to get the node

@@LocoDev there seems to be no static mesh for the 1st person weapon, but I dropped the BP for it into the Char BP event graph

what part of the tutorial?

@@LocoDev At 5:44 you promote the copy to a variable and it shows up as an object type variable. I looked up documentation and it seems like it should do that but for me it doesn't show the blueprint icon and it returns "none" when I run it.

And 12 hours of trying later I realized I still had the mesh of the object in my level, not the blueprinted one... No wonder it kept returning "None"... Well thanks for your tutorials, they're great!

@@ridgebingaman3848 oh, great. The BP needs to be in the world, you can also use spawn node to spawn ur BP I. The world so you don't need to place it In the world before:)

If you want to obtain specific items, you can try learning how to use tags and tag the items that you want to be able to pick up. If you want to obtain multiple items, you need to write some code to first check whether the last item you picked up is already in your hand, before attempting to pick up a new item.

@@LocoDev hey thanks. Are you maybe able to make a new tutorial with line traces (so i have to look at it to obtain the item)

I have the same question. Did you find the answer?

No. but I found another way to do it @@dimkasnusmumrik2548

yeah i have a similar problem too, the controles just bug

Any time!

You're welcome !

You can join our discord

any fix on this? im having the same issue.

holy crap the gun weighs 40kg, too!

se você estiver usando skeleton mesh não irá conseguir encontrar a staticmesh

You might be able to convert a skeletal mesh to static mesh!

I have the same question. Did you find the answer?

@@dimkasnusmumrik2548 the reason is because the duplicate of the object is acting as another blueprint, which can be seen when you want to see the blueprint running when testing. So because of this, the code is looking for the original static mesh and other components, not the blue print. There’s another tutorial which allows you to use duplicate and pick up but you can’t drop the item :/ hope it helps :)

use a node called "sequence"

or hold left mous button and press S

@@LocoDev Im already using a sequens for a crosshair any other solution?

@@GaMerTriXxx add a pin in the sequence node

@@LocoDev First off thanks for the quick answer it works now, theres just one thing i dont get cause when i pick up the gun it picks it up in the wrong angle and not the angle that i laid the gun in the characters hand any idea?

Compile your pistol bp

which part of video

@@LocoDev I wanted to make a mechanic to pick up an item and when I went to pick up another item in the scene, the one that was already with the character would automatically drop. Allowing you to pick up only 1 item at a time as in some horror games, could you make a video with this mechanic?

​@@adriandeoliveirabarros900 you mean pick different weapon system, yeah I can make a tutorial, but this should be fairly easy,

@@adriandeoliveirabarros900 just detach the current weapon and attach the other

@@LocoDev yes i really can't do this and i'm going crazy for not doing something so simple, any help would be greatly appreciated

Compile and save your BP_pistol yellow first

Same here

try exporting it to blender and import it back as static mesh maybe

@@LocoDev Yeah, but I need it to be skeletal since I have animations on it. It gets attached to component but not on correct socket and it doesnt disappear from the ground, I suspect it just attaches and stays there unable to follow the character

@@LocoDev I fixed it, if anyone is having issues with skeletal mesh what you have to do is go to create blueprint class Actor, then add skeletal mesh and then drag that skeletal mesh on top of scene root that automatically generates inside of actor bp, that way you will replace it and enable the sk mesh to stick to your characters sk mesh

@@emptybruh nice

@@emptybruh Хочу добавить что тоже столкнулся с такой проблемой, можно из к Parent вызвать get actor owner component и указать туда скелетал мэш (use translate)

For working on multiplayer you need to work with replication, you can follow this tutorial: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m8xmhsic08fPlYk.htmlsi=NyZrODByN-1lLBYk

Did you find a replication solution?

Which?

what do you mean by react to the player? did you try checking the option "mass"?

@@LocoDev thankyou for the response. I've uploaded a video to demonstrate: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g82TorB9st3eops.html (Mass is checked and set to 40)

@@olivermarden2433 reach me out on discord Fabiano#8438 I can probably solve your issue

are this problem already solved? i already following 3:18 too, when i check simulate / and mass, the object not moving, but when i uncheck both of them, i can move the object

@@igmap3892 Hi, for me it was an issue with the 'sceneroute'. My actor was the child of another actor and i think the parent actor's physics was overriding the physics of the one i wanted to use. If not that just look at the physics of your scene route and perhaps make your mesh obect the route of the scene in the bp. If this doesnt make sense just lemme know and ill try and explain it better

Add sequence node after event begin play, then you can use the second pin
