Glad it helped!

Thanks Tony

Thanks dude, at least now you have a reference video to compare to and give to others if they need it :)

@@AMMediaGames Haha, ain't that the truth, I think people will find it as useful as I did. Thanks a bunch again!

To stop it blasting off like team rocket, it should be to do with the multiplier linked to your add force. if you change that a little it should fix it, or you could always increase the mass of the mesh. hopefully that helps that part!

If I swing an object wildly in real life and let go it usually results in said object being yeeted into the sky in an undesirable motion to achieve " very specific " results you need to adjust for those very specific results this tutorials intended purpose is to give people a chance to build from a foundation and provide the knowledge as a place to start from. If you check your physics handle section you will notice " on the details panel a list of adjustable properties also in the object you are picking up, linear damping, linear stiffness and many others " these can be adjusted along with the settings on the picked up object to achieve a better " personal " result. The reason the force is being applied to the forward direction of the actor instead of the camera is because the camera isn't always the same some people add a spring arm or camera adjustments to the first person character i appreciate you giving advice on this all opinions and ideas matter but there was a reason I did it the way I did :) and finally the tapping or spamming the key to glitch the physics well yes it's a game engine and doing odd things produces odd results.

@@notyourpayton Thanks for helping

@@notyourpayton Thanks for the tip, but it was do with with releasing the object while moving the cursor rather than throwing it unfortunately. Haven't looked at it in a while but I'm sure I'll figure something out :)

@@AMMediaGames No problem. Wasn't intended as finding fault with how you taught - it was a really helpful jumping off point and taught me about physics handle. I just wondered if you had any insights on where to look for that stuff. I think it'll be something to do with changing linear damping while held by player vs while not. Just wanted people to know what to change if they were unsure of why their thrown object wasn't aligned to aiming in the context of a first person game. But yes, third person would be a different set up. Tapping E leading to the objects jumping was remedied by making pick up a toggle input rather than holding to initiate. I'm sure there are other ways of fixing this whilst retaining hold input. Agree that doing odd things does cause odd results but that doesn't make it any less important to find methods of preventing the player from performing these unintended actions, otherwise there would be a lot more bugs in a lot more games.

Add impulse at location on released

@@AMMediaGames Thanks, I also used a rotated null object & pulled the forward vector from that lol. I'll try the impulse option. Appreciate your work!

Trying to access properties or call functions of a NULL pin will always log this kind of error. You can check the object is not null with an “Is Valid” check node.

Yes instead of camera do get player controller and then out of that get convert mouse location to world space into a line trace node. :)

@@AMMediaGames Yep amazing it worked!

Different projects will sometimes act differently especially if addons or other systems interfere, you could try a sphere trace instead if you have issues picking the object up. Its intended purpose is the first person game mode but with some adjustments it should work.

Theoretically yes but this code looks for physics objects so with that in mind should be possible

@@AMMediaGamestrying it right now my project didn't have an IMC_Default so i made one and added the input mapping and changed it to a sphere trace im at 12:50 in the video and im not seeing a red line show up would u know why?

@@itsinfinite551 on the sphere trace node enable debug draw set to persistent and when using a sphere trace you can change the size of it on the node also.

@@AMMediaGames Doesn't seem to work. I have it set to a key instead of right click if that matters at all. Do i need to add something to the trigger in imc default

Without seeing your setup its impossible for me to say what you have done wrong I have a discord feel free to join there and share screenshots.
