​@@AliElZoheiry no worries! I have a follow-up qs. In pt.3, you cover syncing the bow draw and character draw animations for a 1.0s draw time. I did this for my bow, but I ran into two issues with scalability: 1) Each new bow requires a perfectly timed animation and gets trickier with multiple character draw animations. 2) Modifying draw time (e.g., attack speed buff) is hard without dynamically adjusting animation play rates proportionally at runtime. I considered attaching the hand to the string bone so it follows naturally with the animation, but I couldn't find a way to attach bone to bone-only bone to mesh. Any suggestions for a better approach? again thanks for the awesome work here.

[@AliElZoheiry]

@@stratoshadjioannou2147 For a more scalable approach for different meshes with different sizes, and different rates of animations; I suggest looking into procedural animations

[@protophase]

What if you want to have several other types of weapons? Would it be better to make a separate weapon component or use some sort of Enum system? Also how would you go about changing the input for each weapon? Let's say you want a release and hold for some weapons and instant for others.

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey! Great questions. It highly depends on the game you're trying to make and the functionality shared between the different weapons. If each weapon is very different than the other, sort of like a class system in an RPG game, where one weapon makes you a tank and another makes you a DPS, then separate actor components are better suited since they don't share any functionality. But if you're making an FPS game, where you have tens or hundrens of guns, then you should have a single parent actor component for all weapons, since a lot of the functionality will be shared, and the differences will be through configurable variables, like damage, range, accuracy, etc..

[@protophase]

@@AliElZoheiry Aah yeah, it is a sort of Action FPS/RPG. I'm planning on having both melee weapons and ranged weapons with different secondary attacks/abilities for each weapon which the player will find/unlock as they progress. For the bow for example I want to have a similiar system to yours but you hold down LMB to draw the bow and release to fire, depending on how long you draw the bow the more dmg/velocity the arrow is going to have. For a melee weapon for example I'm thinking about having combo type combat. I was thinking that I could have a Master Weapon BP and then derive the weapons from that, but how can I dynamically separate the input from hold/release to combo/triggered in the blueprint depending on the weapon?

[@stefan7612]

Can't wait to implement it next to the damage and ai series!!😁 even more if it's as customizable and flexible like the others🫡

Hey Ali, Just me throwing my 2cents. If you are using projectilecomponent for arrows I would only recommend adding a delay on gravity and pump up the speed to make the arrow more accurate and givivng that cool Legolas feeling. But anyway like always nice vids man!💛

[@nicoptiteh]

Hi Ali, thx for ur sharing ! I'm currently at the stage where we put the bow on the player (24:50) and every time I put play I get the same infinite loop points problem. Do you know where the cause might come from or how to solve this problem? I've followed all the creation steps exactly. I made my bow myself on Blender, so maybe that's where the problem comes from... thanks :)

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey there, an infinite loop usually means you're calling a function that then calls itself indirectly, so I'm not sure what you're doing to be causing that, or where in your code are you seeing this infinite loop

[@nicoptiteh]

​@@AliElZoheiry Thanks for your reply! The error message indicates that the Infinite Loop comes from the ‘equipbow’ function in the bowmechanics BP.

[@AliElZoheiry]

Then it sounds like this function is triggering something that then calls that function again, you might check what that is @nicoptiteh

[@nicoptiteh]

​@@AliElZoheiry so i don't know where the problem comes from exactly but i finally succeeded, i placed a ‘break for loops’ node before the last ‘equip bow’ node and it worked! thanks for the advice!

[@Zhoupengfei]

@@nicoptiteh thank you i had the same problem

[@elefantspidsmus]

This is a very fine tutorial! There is one weak point that forced me to start all over after part one. This has to do with retargeting Mixamo characters and animations. I think, you may have warned people, that this is not a straight forward process. It either takes a plugin called Mixamo Animation Retargeting 2 or a deeper knowledge of control rigs + skeletons. Mixamo does not provide a root-bone section, and UE5 will come up with error warnings about incompatibility. The jump-anim or rather the landind-anim will fail completely, since it seems to be very dependend on the proper rig. Maybe you thought, that this is a subject in itself, which is fair enough. But then it would have been helpful and appropriate to make aware of it instead of: Oh and Mixamo anims are free, at I just retargeted them ... and now let's make a blend space. This is almost a trap. It might be solved by redefining the start- and end bone of the bone chains, but I went with the plugin - not expensive. Also bringing a bow rig into UE5 is not without problems. A few words about And by the way, it seems that UE has a beta-version of their own 'mixamo'. That seems wise, since we don't know whether Adobe would pull the plug and start to charge you for it. I expect them not to, but there are many problems with their user policies these days - horrible policies unlike UE inspite of their fine software.

[@AliElZoheiry]

Thank you for your detailed feedback! You're right, retargeting Mixamo characters can be tricky, I personally don't retarget myself anymore, I use the mixamo converter tool, which is free and does an amazing job. Check it out here terribilisstudio.fr/?section=MC

Hello. Great tutorial. I'm trying to do it in first person from a third person character. That means, I have the camera attached to the character's skull. When I aim the bow, I only aim forward. is there a simple way to connect the aiming from the camera view via the blueprint? Or do you have to make a special animation for pointing up and down? Thanks for any idea.

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey! I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial 🙏 I'm not really sure I understand what you mean by aiming from the camera, but in a first person game, your camera should already be moving up and down with your mouse movement as this is your "control rotation", so aiming shouldn't be any different

Hey there, I understand your frustration. From Mixamo you indeed have to download each animation separately and check the "in place" box.

same here. Did you found what was the problem?

If you have an animation with the name bow, then searching for bow should show it 😅 Shouldn't be any different from searching for any other asset.

[@AliElZoheiry]

There are complex solutions to this problem for complex systems (Take a look at the Lyra sample project for a complex implementation), but a simple solution would just be to have different animation states for different weapons, and in your anim BP you check which weapon is equipped, and that drives a specific animation state

As always, amazing content! Comment for the algorithm, keep it up. Any chance we have the blend space as a variable in the ABP, so no hard references when porting from project to project?

[@AliElZoheiry]

Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you're enjoying the content. I'm not aware of a method of having animations as variables in the anim BP. If you do find a way, please let me know

[@viniguerrero]

@@AliElZoheiry Just found it! And it's pretty cool, sounds like a good approach to mix with the tutorials for reusability kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHaYlamtl9toiMUsi=z8Sjlqcm13lVeDx5

[@47VenomGaming]

It would be awesome if you explained how to have regular unarmed animation and armed animations not a lot of unreal tutorial makers explain like you, can't figure out how that is possible with unreal engine 5.

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion, I actually cover that in my "Smart Enemy AI" series. As I have the player support different stances (e.g Unarmed, Melee, Magic) Check it out to learn more

[@shameemhossen5051]

Hi Ali I am a big fan, After that series please try some rogue lite/like machanices, like spell system, upgrade, spell card selecection, spell activate spells, auto cast spell etc, rogue like machanices for unreal is rare so please do something on that note

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hi! Thank you for your suggestion, I appreciate your support and will definitely consider creating content focused on rogue-like mechanics in Unreal Engine in the future!

[@EveLuna02]

❤ your videos , really helpful can you please make tutorial on different type of stealth system ?! thanks

[@AliElZoheiry]

Hey, thank you for your kind words and for sharing your request! I'll definitely consider making a tutorial on different types of stealth systems in the future. Keep an eye out for it!

[@kryogenicgames]

I wont use this in my project but its so cool. Well done Ali as usual. ;) Did you ever try to look into neural network to train AI?

[@AliElZoheiry]

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you found it interesting. Neural networks and AI training are indeed fascinating topics. I have explored them in some of my personal projects, but only from a research standup, they would be too unpredictable in an actual game

[@kryogenicgames]

@@AliElZoheiry i see, so do you personally think using them for AI unless spent very long time training is not really game ready?

[@AliElZoheiry]

Well that depends a lot on the kind of game, but neutral net trained AIs are usually AI agents that learn to play an existing game, and not AIs that are part of a game, because you have to have an existing game already to train the agents on. So if you want a trained agent to be part of a game, that's not really feasible, it's the chicken and egg problem, what came first, the game or the AI 😅

Does anyone know where to get a free bow with animations?

[@AliElZoheiry]

You can get a bow from SketchFab, as for animations, if you don't want anything fancy, you can easily learn just to animate the bow string, that will be very easy, because it's just a single bone with a single movement
