works amazingly thank you! for anyone in the future, unreal engine 5 changed the "integer + integer" & "integer - integer" nodes to "Add" & "Subtract" respectively

If you want to fix the tube artefact at the end, you need to create a variable with your „Get Actor Scale 3D“ (the same X, as you already used), and place into „Clamp Vector Size“ as a Max input Thanks! Very useful! You are a good teacher I did it correctly and understood how I did it at the same time 🙂

Thanks so much for this. Watched several tutorials that all basically use the same method, but you added a few simple fixes that make all the difference. Great stuff!

I spent five hours with busted-ass spline curves trying to figure out why they weren't working and this video solved my problem, so thank you for doing this, it's still applicable even with UE5!

Got sent over here by someone from Dekagon Games who shouted out this vid in their Artstation Learning series. Good stuff, thanks Ryan!

Wonderful tutorial. Good pacing and clarity on what you do and why you do it.

I just found this while trying to understand unreal splines and this was tremendously helpful! Many thanks for putting this out.

Such an underrated channel.

Awesome tutorial, the part about clamping the tangents was especially helpful.

This tutorial brings peace and joy to my life!!!

Thanks for making the tutorial! Working on a student project and was very confused about splines meshes but I get it now

God bless you Ryan Laley

Keep your good work sir!!, you are gonna be the reason behind many future game developers

Excellent, thorough, complete. Thank you.

Finally a great tutorial on this topic that actually works with the 4.21!

Amazing Video! Really helpful! If you are Using UE5 For the Float * Float node you can use the Multiply node.

Hi everyone, I'm going to be doing a video soon answering anyone's questions about studying games development. Coming into Summer some people who are in school will begin to start thinking about the future courses and are maybe interested in getting into games development by studying a course. Well, I am going to be answering aall your questions about choosing the right course and things to look for in choosing a games course. If you have a question you would like to see answered in the video either leave a comment below or message me directly in private. Ryan

Tip: if you cant edit the spline in the game viewport, you need to enable "Input Spline Points To Construction Script" in the Spline Component

Man I just want to know how to use a guitar strap asset why does this all have to be rocket science. Always great videos. I learn a lot too much sometimes. lol

I know this video was a long time ago, I hope you still look here! I am having an issue where my mesh is squished to like 1/4 of its size along the spline (Each Segment) So there is a huge gap between each mesh. I cannot figure out why. The only thing I can think because I am using UE5 it doesnt like something. Pls help if at all possible, Your tutorial is by far the best one on this subject I have seen!

Thank you, exactly what I was after and clearly explained as always

I was hoping to use it for pipe but it's more adapted to cables. It's missing 2 things though. How to deal with twists when doing perfect 90 angles and how to have the last tangent not being influenced by the previous one. It's super fiddly to to right angles with the method explained here

this is great! thank you sir! although I have to say that my tanget still scales when I move it, even when I'm clamping in in 4.22 actually it does work, it does scale until I have the next index spawned, then the scale doesn't stretch anymore

That was exaclty what i was searching for. Thank

Thank you Ryan Laley =000 You made my day with this one!!

you gotta tune the instrunt, by right clicking on it in the channel rack

Thank you for great tutorial. And not only for this one!!!

Thank a lot, this lesson really help me!

Thank you so much, exactly what i need.

Another great tutorial as always! Going to try it now :)

Great Video man! Super Helpful for creating a cord for my VR computer system!

Hi I followed this tutorial but I still get really weird stretching on my meshes :( What could I be missing?

Excellent video for splines! Thank you very much!

Exact what i needed at current time. Thanks 🙂

I made a Spline mesh with a curb for easy sidewalk creation. I decrement the truncate to avoid half meshes and also allowed the spline length to scale accordingly. As long as I keep the Actor on scale 1.0, it is fine and the splined mesh looks great. However if I scale it up, the individual segments will get squashed towards the start and the end. This is also visible in your example at the very end. The flanges scale up and down. Any solutions?

Ryan Laley, Love your videos you go in depth better than anyone else I have watched so far! On the pipe Splines, could you not use 2 meshes, one a coller and one just a straight pipe and as you drag the pipe have it add a coller say every 200 in length and avoid the stretching all together?? C--------C--------C---------C lol

Question: I made my pipes and the bracket ends for pipes separately so they would be modular. How would I go about doing this if my models were two separate pieces for the spline?

This awesome. Gonna help make me some fences, thanks for sharing thiese spline ideas :)

Why is it this works with Add Spline Mesh Component, but when I have a Spline Mesh Component already in the class, it shows up in a weird location? I even detached it and reset its world transforms to zero. Edit: Ah because it's only making the first segment. I need multiple spline mesh components to draw a full arc.

Excellent tutorial but I can't seem to use the Blueprint on Splines longer than 1metres, I tried editing the Section length variable from 100 to 300, but for some reason the mesh remains at 100cm aka 1m.

thanks, I edited this so I could have multiple objects of varrying length on the same spline.

Super useful video. Subscribed!

Really great Tutorial!

Thank you to share this just for free ❤️

Thank you so much for the tutorial! It really helps me a lot!

The ends of my mesh get squished which causes compression of the texture, any way to fix that?

Even following your tutorial, my spline still doesn't have a collision. What could it be?

thank you bro, your video is well explained and detailed enough !

Hey Ryan , thanks for the video , it's really great and gave me what i need except one thing , how to do this while playing so i want the character to press a button and the mesh would expand to a certain point so i tried the same thing and when i press the button i change the X Scale using a timeline to make it expand smoothly and worked really well but what i want is to give the spline a point and make the spline expand to it like when we hold the last spline point and move it so the spline mesh expand with i want to do it in real time by moving the spline point not the actor scale

Thank you so much for such a cool tutorial!

Doesn't appear to work in 4.25. Mesh does not follow spline when moving points Edit: Nevermind, make sure to connect the "Set Forward Axis" to the "Set Start and End"

When I copy the point with ( Alt + move ) the mesh does not stretch or copy with the spline any leads why?

Is there a way to prevent the splines in unreal from pinching when making a loop? I swear to god, i've wasted tons of hours trying to do this and it seems like there is simply no vanilla way to do this and it requires plugins to fix a problem with the way curves are calculated in unreal. I simply refuse to believe that in over 20 years they havent been able to figure out how to properly implement splines.

Man, my splines aren't bending, even with a ton of loops. The spline is curved nicely, yet my model is just bent on 2 points. Any tips or hints?

Ryan I'm debating with my Tech guy why didn't you use the Section Length Variable in the multiplication tab towards the end of your tutorial- as opposed to manually entering the mesh length at 100? Appreciate your reply.

it's really work in the game, thx

Awesome vid Ryan, I used this to create a procedural panel fence ,but I wonder how I could add certain mesh to start and end points EG: End Posts

Awesome tutorial ! Thx Ryan :)

Thanks for this much needed tutorial. How do I go about turning the meshes at the tangent points to form a spline circle using Blueprint?

how do i keep it form srinking at the end?

Thank you for this video, mate :).

Is there a way to scale the width of the spline?

Great tutorial thanks!!

Thanks, great lesson.

thaaanx

Excellent, thank you for this.

You're a god amongst men!

Thank you so much for the tutorial!

Amazing, thank you so much!!

Thanks - maybe I overlooked it - but are there primitives from splines - such as: circle, square, ellipse, triangle?

Hey there, good tutorial. But you should have mentioned the "Get Roll at Distance Along Spline", "Set Start Roll" and "Set End Roll" - functions. That way you can also roll your spline mesh along your individual spline points. Anyways you did well and got another thumb up :)

Thank you so much for the video, I learned a lot

Hi man thank you grate tutorial . i was wondering if you can mace tutorial expanding on this system by exposing the mesh component in inspector so we can drag and drop other meshes and auto detect the length of the mesh for the correct placement how you have don it but hard cod it thank you again for the grate tutorial cheers

Have done this and it's working- but, whenever I use the Spline Point Handles (Curves Spline Points) it seems to scale the Mesh itself along the X Axis (Forwards). This sort of negates the point of creating it so it makes the Mesh sections even? Can anyone help me with this please? Also seems to be doing it if the Spline Points are too close together or the bend is too strong?

It doesn't work properly. I tried everything but it just keeps glitching and spinning. I can't find a way to make it work

Copying the spline point doesn't work out of the box for me. Is it something you're doing in the script? I'm a noob at this xD

Hey Ryan, could you upload the pipe blueprint? I am encountering errors with the pipe not following the spline and I've checked the blueprint many times and just can't see whats wrong.

Hi Ryan great tutorials! could you make one about cars? you know like how to set up wheels and how to drive it? you earned a sub b :))

very cool tutorial. I wanna run something by you and anyone else. I've been having this situation where I created a hollow pipe which then I use as a spline and it works and looks as it should but then I take that pipe and cut it in half to create a half pipe(like for skaters) and all of the sudden I can't use that half pipe. Any ideas?

awesome stuff

would like to know if it is possible to turn into a tube and have character slide down it inside ?

Hello, this kind of spline can be animated in sequencer?

followed this had a mesh on the z access the spline isn't working at all... when I move the points nothing happens :( any idea why?

Hi, This is an awsome video which put me in the track on drawing spline meshes. But there is a one question on me. I just want to draw spline meshes on the given points and i have built the points to the blueprint through a csv and how can i ignore this spline length variables and built on the points I am inserted

Hey, I just wanted to know if this is able to change the length of a spline over time, (something like the growth of a vine)?

is there any way to have the mesh slid or move along the spline and also have it in a loop?

thanks, for this video!!

When i scale too much like x4 my mesh is super deformed (a chain)

Unfortunately the "Alt key" works only from time to time not consistently :(

Hi guy, really nice tutorial, but I have problem, i did spline with section length, spline work perfeclty. I have 10 meshes in my scene and my spline, and i have 400 object to build, like if my spline was dupplicate my pipe and superposing it, then im laggy hard ... Think it is coming of section length but dunno at all...

where do we get the pipe to start with? looking for the tutorial for it cant find it, good video thank you.

So how can I add spacing between the meshes and keep them the size they need too be? I’m trying to make a line or bottles and I need an equal gap between each one

Hey Ryan, how can i make this spline mesh static? the way its set now i can not bake lights on it

Is there a way to snap the spline meshes at their set size? This would be great for level construction where you need to repeat a same mesh over a distance but do not necessarily want to copy paste and snap them manually.

Thank you so much for this! :)

Is it possible to make a bool that will flip where the segments spawn (spline start point/spline end point)? What I mean is I want to make dynamic robotic arm (think Doctor Octopus from Spiderman) using splines but I want to make them retract and extend and I want to hide start and thus the spawning of new segments on the beginning of spline and not the end. I think that'd be pretty cool.

Nice Tut! How would you add diff Static Meshes for turns/angles/corners?

Nice Video but how to Update/Place them at runtime?

I'm trying to do the opposite of what you do at the end. So instead of having a consistent spacing between the splines I want to have a single pipe mesh, that uses all of the spline points to scale. Is this possible? Cheers

does anyone know why the red cubes not showing?
