Your videos always work perfectly even on UE5. Please don’t stop!

[@whoodieh1z164]

[@Shardenn]

Great tutorial! Will you continue working on it? Looking forward for next videos

[@Liaret]

Thanks :) Yes, it's coming in the following days.

Bit of a long shot as I know that this video was uploaded 5 years ago but im having an issue where the blade is going upwards and not downwards into the hilt when it turns off, ive tried rotating the blade on the Z axis to see if that changes the issue but it doesnt. any help would be appreciated!

[@xm4self462]

Awesome tutorial series.... Do you know why my static meshes cursors for scaling are always in the middle of the mesh? This makes the scale increase/decrease both sides rather than one direction as per your videos. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I had the same problem. Just go back to episode 1 and see how he created the hilt and blade.

[@Ben_CY123]

Hello, is that any different for using timeline > set float for light Z scale > set Relative scale? I'm just a beginner don't understand what is "finterp to"

[@jaxsun2924]

Hi, in turn on part. how do i connect my blade's xyz scale values to the custom event? since the custom event "turn on" can execute one node.

[@Liaret]

Sup. Can you clarify the question or make a screenshot? You can execute any amount of nodes in any custom event, just connect them one after another.

[@jaxsun2924]

@@Liaret thank you for your reply. So I am following your method in the turn on custom event. But when I tried connect the output node to three set scale nodes(XYZ), it only allows me to connect one node. So I wonder if you know how to solve this situation? Either by array or sequence, I'm open to other solutions as well. I'm sorry that it sounds confusing, good tutorial btw.

[@Liaret]

@@jaxsun2924 each execution node, including "set" nodes, has an output to which you can connect another execution node. Please provide a screenshot of the situation.

Man, u can use TimeLine (with Lerp) instead FInterp, without Tick

[@Liaret]

FinterpTo is my personal preference. Timelines are not as reliable in my experience, specifically when the frametime is jumpy.

[@koroletov]

​@@Liaret I did it on the Timeline and will be testing. If I find any problems, I will write here. Thanx anyway) Cool solution with material and particle system

[@josephlemons]

Hey Lariet my blade is not retracting fully into my hilt, there is a tiny dot when it gets down to Zero, how do I fix this?

[@Liaret]

Hey. Ensure u r decreasing the z-axis scale of the blade cylinder down to 0. If that still does not work, u can also move the cylinder into the hilt slightly, which should make a good enough job of completely hiding it.
