Character Movement Tutorial | UPBGE 0.3

[@ChrisTay229]

So happy to see people making things in UPBGE. I'm working on a small personal project in UPBGE right now (using UPBGE out of spite and being a contrarian vs all the people who said "don't" tbh, lmao) and this is a big help

[@ChizyapoChiponda]

And I thought I knew it all. I used properties for turning run on and off to control speed, never thought of doing it this way, thanks bro✨

[@StephenDdungu]

We learn something new every day xD Glad the video helped! 👊🏾

[@michaelwerkov3438]

nice! there were no upbge tutorials for so long so i stopped looking! just checked and found these! nice! thank you!

[@socks456]

Hey Stephen! I doubt you remember but I was the guy who asked to use your music! Glad you started a new journey man! Best of luck!

[@StephenDdungu]

Hi again! Nice to hear from you! :) This is one of many journeys I’m taking, however I do plan to return to doing music on my music channel soon!

[@socks456]

@@StephenDdungu great! Will be there to support! Can’t wait to see your new journeys aswell

[@Uniboy1106]

OH MY GOD! I really searched for the tool like this. Thank you!

[@TheAnmind]

Your videos are so inspiring man! Thanks

[@BGEPARAGAMES]

Very Beautfiul!

[@CGSky]

Love this! Thanks for the nice explanation! I'm surprised I stumbled on the method with the empties to do third person character movement

[@mnto123]

Hello Stephen, for some reason this does not work for me as my character only moves forwards, with no effect of camera angle on direction. I went from your third person camera tutorial to starting on 2:24 of this video (because I do not need variation in movement speeds). I would appreciate it if you could check my node setup and tell me where I am going wrong? (imgur.com/a/Ka837mV). I promise this is the last one I'll ask help on lol

[@StephenDdungu]

Your link is broken, you may need to send another one. Though for now, I would suggest that you check that your empties around your character are parented to your camera-look sphere empty.

[@mnto123]

@@StephenDdungu You have to take out the bracket symbol on the end bro. As an alternative I am using A and D keys as rotations which also works well

[@StephenDdungu]

@@mnto123 I see the issue. You really should've watched the tutorial from the beginning. In your character controller's logic bricks, the tracking and motion should take place in state 2, and instead of using a keyboard sensor, the motion should be controlled by a message sent by the armature when the frame property of the run animation is greater than 1. This will allow your character to able run in all directions since the character controller will be moving as long as the run animation for your armature is playing (as shown in the tutorial).

@@StephenDdungu I see, thanks for the advice

[@117Titan]

Gracias por hacer estos videos.

[@taro-x]

You save my life again xD I can use this for the out of combat camera and movement and switch to combat cam :D Or for the main hub xD

[@StephenDdungu]

Glad you found use for it! You can even use the same camera with this technique (that tutorial’s coming in a few days).

[@taro-x]

@@StephenDdungu btw is the sphere(camera parent)a copy location constrain? Im curious of how you parent it without copying it's rotation

[@StephenDdungu]

@@taro-x It's vertex parented to a vertex I placed in the centre of the character controller. (I show how it's done in the previous tutorial).

Nice video I love it

Glad you found it helpful!

@@StephenDdungu Not tried it yet but while still for upbge gonna be useful any way

[@StephenDdungu]

@@edgarmontesdeoca7465 Oh, that’s still good to hear, thanks :)

[@edgarmontesdeoca7465]

@@StephenDdungu yeah beacuse you can do Infinite things in upbge with nodes but sometimes you dont kniw how

[@deadeagle-archived]

For the movement/rotation couldnt you use a movement axis and find the angle at which you need to rotate and rotate your character to those points i stead of making a 8dir rotation seq?

[@OGD80]

Top quality usage of UPBGE so far..but is there any slower vetsion of the tutorial and explain how one part communicate with other part of the mesh?

[@RatatoskLeder]

tank you very much! enjoyed your superb tutorial and had to watch it just about 20 times to get every little thing and to guess the skipped parts. works very fine! one question i could not solve: how to get the 2key diagonal moves in just one key sensor, as it seems to be in your tut? tried one hour, could't find it out. moiving direction correct, speed correct, but facing direction straight to side instead of diagonal.

[@StephenDdungu]

Make sure you have the 2nd key in both the first and second modifiers in the Keyboard sensor. Also, make sure you order the sensors like this: •Forward •Left •Right •Back •ForwardLeft •ForwardRight •BackLeft •BackRight Since UPBGE will prioritise any keyboard sensor with one key if a keyboard sensor using the same key with extra key modifiers is above it. This should help. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial :)

[@RatatoskLeder]

@@StephenDdungu thanks again, you made my weekend! just tried, works! i would never have come up to this solution...

[@RatatoskLeder]

worked so wonderful til it came to slopes. how can this be combined with slope/ground align? tried for hours but whatever i try, the "track to" actuators force my players ground-align back in 90°, as long as the key is pressed, with states and without. unhooking track to's -> slope align works during movement. tryed activating "3d" in track to but then i'm flying =)

[@paulojonathan3161]

Those logic bricks look like spaghetti Mmm spaghetti, Anyway have you found any bug in this UPBGE version?

[@Loxaevion]

I was trying out your tutorial, and everything works pretty good. but when I rotate the camera around while holding down the WASD keys, the player controller rotates with it?

[@Malike-w3m]

I follow your toturial and when I finished for some reason when my character turns to face the direction like let's say face right it likes rotates to that direction in a weird way like it isnt turinig around like yours it doesn't look as smooth it just turn to face the direction instantly

[@aldegator]

You could also just have the camera control box detect the keypresses as well, right?

[@ChizyapoChiponda]

The last part though😅😅 its so bulky, but we'll keep up💪

[@StephenDdungu]

😂😂

[@Rad247]

do i have to have upge for your stuff to work for mine. Cause i just ahve blender without upbge

[@StephenDdungu]

Yes, you will need UPBGE

[@FictitiousCtrlGames]

Do you use the bricky nodes addon? Strongly recommend it. I will likely make a video on how to install it as its a bit iffy atm.

[@jotajota9564]

Hello friend I ask you, upbge does that version 0.3 work well for production? because I would like to use it, because I come from 2.9 and I would like to have the same workflow

[@ryouount]

whay you want us to pay for the fils wright on it not free

[@chapanharder]

nice.

[@AnKlMa]

Great tutorial, but had to watch it ar .5 speed to fully understand it 😅

[@StephenDdungu]

Hahaha! The longer version is much more ‘step by step’ friendly and in-depth. Though, I’ve made subtitles in the bottom of this video in case you missed anything. (Either tap the video, or full screen it to see them, since the video is in square format).

[@JBIGroup3D-Ai]

very fast, i want slow tutorial

[@bezimienny5]

This seems too complicated for a stupid uni class... rip.

im to dumb for these, i tried..
