specificaly the Input variables and the dark blue input nodes

@@lukehudson7848 the characterinputstate variable is only in the 5.5 version. it's in the input dropdown in the sandbox character. You have to drag that out/get it and then drag from its pin and choose break to see the individual variables.

Just figured it out. lol For anyone else having that issue, you have to have: Character Movement -> Is Moving on Ground (Function) -> AND Boolean (Along with Dodging -> NOT Boolean) -> the first Branch.

yes they are mixamo animations retargeted to the UEFN skeleton

happy to hear it, have fun~

The ABP dodging variable creation starts at 9:06. In the animation blueprint inside of the Event Graph you'll want to GET your sandbox character reference(the game animation sample project comes with this reference already created) and from that reference GET the dodging variable that you created in the sandbox character blueprint, drag off of that GET dodging pin and promote that to a variable and call it dodging as well and with a SET node it will be set to whatever current value your sandbox character's dodging variable is. so both your Sandbox Character and ABP will have a dodging variable.

@treehousebandit o ok thanks! I knew i was still doin something wrong

You're welcome! happy you found it helpful

@@hotsauce7124 kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqu0gpWedsp5e6csi=yjX_cJoGAvIm9zRq is the video where I create the NPC near the beginning, thanks for the heads up I'll add it to the playlist

@@treehousebandit Your tutorials are great!!!

to see where the navmesh is active you want to press P and it will/should change colors(default is normally green but I think the GASP project defaulted to a different color.)

@@treehousebandit May I ask, if the ground does not change color when I press P, is there a particular Nav Mesh I should drag into the GASP level? The floor does not change color if play is on or off.

@@hotsauce7124 i'm sorry for some reason i thought the gasp sample already had the navmeshboundsvolume by default, thats what you want to drag into the map and then scale it to the size you want an NPC to travel. you'll want the bottom part of the nav mesh to overlap with the ground.

@@treehousebandit Thank you, I can see the Nav Mesh now.

That function was created around 7:00 - 7:40, you just need to go to the details and check the box that says pure to make it a pure function. sorry for the over-site.

If I select the blue Direct to Target node, then turn on "Pure" in the Details panel, the blue node will turn green. Is that ok to use?

@@hotsauce7124 yeah that will work, if you notice in the video you'll see the pure is checked but I never mention to do it, sorry !

You're welcome

I haven't tried personally but it should work with a couple tweaks: the strafe variable is now controlled through the 'characterinputstate' variable and in the ABP the character logic is stuck behind a branch where it only updates if 'UseThreadSafeUpdateAnimation' is false, so you may want to put your character references before that branch or place a sequence before that branch and have 'then 0' go into that logic update and then off of 'then 1' add any new character references.

thanks for the heads up~!

happy to help!! enjoy

I deleted the old project and grabbed a new “GameAnimationSample.” Opened it up in UE 5.5. Opened the CBP_SandboxCharacter.uasset. If I click the plus icon to create a variable, compile then save; I get an error message " CBP_SandboxCharacter.uasset failed to save." is there a bug in the “GameAnimationSample” in UE 5.5?

@@hotsauce7124 I'm not sure that sounds strange, the only time I have issues saving something is when I accidentally have the project opened in 2 separate instances.

@@treehousebandit Understood, I only had 1 project open. I'll try UE5.4. Thank you.

Works in UE 5.5_Awesome. I made sure that everything was closed before opening it in UE 5.5. Thank you.

Well I saw that they were using anim montages for the traversal actions and figured using montages for other things shouldn't rock the motion matching boat too much.

you are welcome, I love what Terribilis has done here and had to share

yw! happy to help

You're welcome! By control rig character do you mean the original version of the control rig because Modular control rigs are a new addition and while similar are a little different. If you are using the old control rig go to your rig hierarchy and search for arm_l_fk_ik_switch and arm_r_fk_ik_switch and on the details panel under value make sure current is selected and then check the box that says current(set current to true)

@@treehousebandit That's it! Thank you so much!

You are welcome!

for me it's automatic, it generates a new static mesh in a folder called 'generated'

@@treehousebandit I found it, thanks

thank you, glad it helped

hello good to see you! hows your game dev going?

No it works. You just need to Uncheck the enable root motion option in yours animations. Then recreate an anim montage.

I could maybe try, you want someone to swing from a rope that is already in the level? or a grapple hook type thing?

@ swing a rope that is already in the level!!! Please!!!
