Heart Based Health System Part 3 | Legend of Zelda in UE4 #8

[@simonsmasher1771]

It's about time! Thx for the amazing tutorials :)

[@CobbDev]

Haha sorry for the late upload! It's been a very busy couple of months

Hi @CobbDev! Amazing series of videos!!! I've run in to a small quirk and was wondering what your thoughts would be.. Intermittently, (seemingly completely randomly), some of the hearts will not go entirely dark when depleted. Instead, any one of them can sometimes leave a tiny, tiny portion of the heart revealed (at the vertical 12 o'clock position). Presumably this is something to do with float precision in the Percentage parameter not fully going down to 0? Would love to hear your thoughts :) Also - how might you change the color of the depleted part of the heart? All the best!

Hey man thanks for the tutorial, but was wondering if you could update this tutorial or a suplemental video to explain how to carry the health across levels? Using a game instance variable to carry over the health doesn't work, as I believe the update hearts fuction that gets called in the HUD pre construction overrides that. Additionally, I was wondering how I'd make it work procedurally based on the player's max health as a variable and carried across levels, as from your tutorial you just set a hard value for how many hearts to add (and in turn set the player's health) for when the main HUD widget is created.

[@chickishot8172]

Thank you so much!!! This fixed my problem from the last video. My hearts wouldn’t update at all with the hit boxes or when I would try to set them manually for current health or max health in the ThirdPersonCharacter.

[@crazychicken5521]

CobbDev the UI doesn’t update for me for both the hearts and the stamina do you know of a solution? If not can you give me a copy of the project files? Thanks in advance

[@silviucreata]

I really apreciate the content, keep it going. Big love! I am curious to know what desktop specs do you have.

[@CobbDev]

Hey Silviu! After a loooooong time saving up, I put together a PC with a threadripper and a GTX 1080Ti. Too bad I ran out of money before I could buy a monitor that isn't 720p

[@winterpixl]

Anyone know how to save the heart bar display across a game save? i can successfully save the health variables however the display always is set at full whenever loading from a save slot.

[@mexicanamigo4570]

Thx for the tutorial! One Question will you show these following things or parts of them? Cutscenes,Bosses,Weapons(animation etc.),Open world. (Would be very appreciated)

[@CobbDev]

Hey Lilpupp! In my 5.5 episode I mention the next steps we're going to take. After this comes paragliding, and then open world. After that will be the combat/ai section. I currently don't plan to do cutscenes as a part of this tutorial series as BotW does not have a whole lot of them, but anything is subject to change! I might make a stand-alone tutorial for that.

[@mexicanamigo4570]

Cobb Dev Alright Thanks

[@danilooliveira3712]

It doesn't work for me, when I enter the collision box, it reduces 25% of the heart, when I enter the box again, it reduces 25% of the middle heart, and then 25% of the first one. I don't know what I did wrong, after that he just removes the middle heart. I spent days in these tutorials and couldn't identify the error.

[@lucasdeming]

Could you make a tutorial on how to make a heart container? when i tried to make a box collision to make my heath go up, it didn't work. it only worked in the level blueprint.

[@lucasdeming]

Never mind i fixed it

[@lucasdeming]

Great totorial though!

[@BitchesLoveGoodra]

When the player starts with a health value less then their max health value (i.e, 12/16 health or 3 of 4 hearts) the hearts don't update correctly when adding health. Each loop to find a 'full' heart seems to be the culprit.

[@BitchesLoveGoodra]

Nevermind the fault was my own, the 'IsFull' was not true by default. Hopefully anyone else that makes this easy mistake can use this information.

[@1011theory]

@@BitchesLoveGoodra thank you for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NathanAMG]

So I followed your video and added the forloop before the update hearts node and further finished the entire video, however, when damage is being dealt to the player, it will only take health off of the second heart and will no longer add health from the hitbox blueprint

[@CobbDev]

Nathan AMG that must mean something's wrong with the macros for find a heart to add to or find a heart to subtract crime. Double check that both of those are correct

[@NathanAMG]

@@CobbDev They are both exactly the way you showed

[@DanielWL615]

@@NathanAMG Hey, its late now but did you find a solution? Worth a shot as having exact issue

[@simonrp5440]

yo bro i cant call my custom event(updatehealth) in my function (thirdperson) can you help me

[@everettcollins]

sorry have a quick question. how does the character reach a death state if current health is set to 0 and how is that implemented

[@emmaeaton3624]

were you able to get this right? Also struggling with it :(

[@joshuaveronese8574]

PLEASE REPLY> Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property HUDref". Blueprint: ThirdPersonCharacter Function: Modify Life Graph: ModifyLife Node: Update Lives. Seems like is not able the get the hud ref. Any solutions????

[@joaquinalvarez5301]

I don't know if you still need help but I ran into the same issue as you. Luckily I found a solution. HUDref isn't defined or has no value so you need to fix that to solve it. Watch his other video where he defined it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZaVfXyFmaxshLc

[@hungry_pig]

This is what I was looking for!!! Thx!!! Btw, Can you check ur website? It doesn't work.

[@pigpoliticallyincorrectgam7408]

Many thanks for this fine tutorial! Exactly what I was looking for. Now I'm trying hard to figure out, how to create a "RemoveHeart"-function without messing thinks up. It would be nice if the amount of hearts could be reduced by some kind of impact like a soul-eating tentacle of Cthulhu or something like that. :P

[@kleszcz89]

A math function sign (api.unrealengine.com/INT/BlueprintAPI/Math/Float/Sign_float/index.html) would work much better here.
