In this video, we continue from where we left off in the first part, where we showed how to copy ALS (Advanced Locomotion System) Mantle System to our project. In this video, we will be demonstrating how to use the copied system, and add relevant animations, while fixing some bugs along the way.
We start by calling the Mantle check function when we press the jump button, but only when we are walking, hanging, or on a ledge. We also make sure to use ground trace settings for the trace channels. We then update our movement state, and make sure that the trace channels are set to ledge, before moving on to debugging any errors.
Next, we interchange the axis value variables and add a branch condition to prevent the player from moving left or right when pressing the W or S key. We then fix a timeline error by creating a new timeline variable and adding animations.
To use the animations, we change their skeleton from ALS skeleton to UE4 Manny skeleton, and retarget them using UE4 to UE5 Manny retargeter. We create a new slot for the Mantle animations and change the slot of the Mantle montages we use from BaseLayer to FullBody.
We also fix any issues with animation curves and position correction curves. Finally, we clear the climbing state when we end the mantle.
Overall, this video provides a comprehensive guide on how to use ALS Mantle System and add relevant animations to it. While some optimization can be done in the future, this video covers all the necessary steps to get started with using ALS Mantle System in your own projects.

3:42 For MantleTimeline error issue, the object has to be minimum 2.7 m in height, anything below 2.7 and above 1.7 will throw error, in my case setting the height to 2.7m works fine. FYI: My FrontWallTracerArrow is nested under the Mesh and sits at height of 186.714927. Hope this helps. Edit - After watching a bit more video, Found the solution at 8:50 :)

Hello, my problem is that it uploads to the platform, I have everything done almost like it is in the video, I have only added some boolean variables to stop the auto-turn but MantleComponet does not run, it hangs and I cannot download or upload.

[@ericseel9556]

So I have an issue, I followed step by step, however whenever I try to climb up to the platform, I have to hit the space bar multiple times for it to work. This goes for the vault up on object as well.

[@yashkhare]

🤔 interesting did you get the fix ?

[@fromdelicias6556]

Hello, i have a small bug. When my character mantles into a small wall (like in the end of the video) it mantles correctly but after that, it can't mantle, or jump, or climb anymore

[@yashkhare]

Check if you missed to update movement mode

[@foxy3dworld994]

So I have a question.... In my cause it automatically vaults instead of grabbing the ledge and jumping up the ledge. I tried changing some of the values in the mantle check, and it works, but it stops moving once it is on the ledge. Can someone help?

[@yashkhare]

Yes we had feagured this out in video . U just have to reset the values of character movement to walking or falling and some other things to, fix is at 9:37

[@DwipMakwana]

Heyy I'm also gettinng the same error, it is directly climbing, can you tell me what values did you change to fix that?

[@yashkhare]

​@@DwipMakwana 1. check where'd you call the mantle check function 2. It should be in jump inputs and connected to on ledge output pin of movement state switch

[@DwipMakwana]

@@yashkhare Got it changed the mantle detection height and lowered it a bit matching our capsule height

[@yashkhare]

@@DwipMakwana dang i forgot to mention this in video i guess

[@alejandrorugero]

Hello, I have corrected some things, now the tracer drawing of a capsule remains at the top but the capsule does not go up where the tracer drawing is. Is there any way to identify the part where it rises in MantleComponent or the character the capsule in the drawing tracer is positioned there and rises, which I know is what it does but I can't find how. Thank you.

[@yashkhare]

i would suggest you to go through the video again , if possible in new project

[@andres905]

How can I change the keys that perform the action of raising the edge? Currently, to be able to raise it, I have to press the right or left key and the jump key for it to go up. How do I change it?

[@yashkhare]

You mean to climb up the ledge? Just create another input action of your likes and connect mantle check there instead of on Jump input

[@andres905]

thanks's it's works but climb the ledge only when i move left or right, but the climb action doesn't work on its own. How can I fix this?

[@Penthast]

I have a few issues, Im not able to trigger the mantling, not sure why Also, did you explain how to fix the compilation errors with ALS_Base_CharacterBP from tutorial 6? Did you just delete the asset?

[@yashkhare]

We don't need to worry about als base character error it only shows one time we are not using it either. About u manteling did u setup check mantle function in character bp jump event correctly?

[@Penthast]

@@yashkhare I found the issue, the initial hit overlap from Step 1 of Mantle Check, it works when I don´t use it, although Im not sure if there is a way to fix it using it.

[@HadesRage93]

I too be experiencing the Default Climb up and not Hanging bug, When I move the walking Enum straight to the Grab Ledge node it kinda fixes it but breaks Mantle if wall is short enough to mantle and also doesn't switch between the 2 Montage Mantle Height Animations either for me did we address these in later videos? Also I am doing this with 5.2 and the AnimBP is different from 5.1 for I don't have "Control Rig" In my AnimBP but finished this one and will update as I go along if I solve it.

[@yashkhare]

Issue is nothing but the height of your obstacles 😂 just increase it or lower the height check of mantle

[@HadesRage93]

@@yashkhare Figured out my Issue my Climb and Mantle Was being called at the Same time so I put Climb on my Interact and my Mantle on my Jump Keys fixed it nicely

[@HadesRage93]

@@yashkhare That helped thank you :)

[@alejandrorugero]

I get this error, it is already moving but it crosses the cube and slides down and I get this error. Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property Component_11_74DA46FC4578E87978977783DBA2F302".

[@yashkhare]

check if you copied mantle update function in your mantle component

[@samsloan9622]

My character is clipping through the block and mantling throw the block I need help

[@yashkhare]

You have problem with your animation how do you prepared it ? Just like shown in the video?

[@samsloan9622]

yep step by step but when I go to mantle up I go through the block@@yashkhare

[@samsloan9622]

I did everything the video did step by step I went through the video like 10 times try figure out what went wrong@@yashkhare

[@yashkhare]

@@samsloan9622 means character mantle correctly just the animations are offsetet?

[@samsloan9622]

but how do i fix it because i dont remember seeing you change anything in the animations so I didnt touch them @@yashkhare
