I just wanna say that in my short unreal engine learning adventure your tutorials are the best source of knowledge. As many others said - do not stop. You deserve way more subs

[@now_ever]

This thing is pure gold and brilliant! It's a bit strange, but I'm familiar with object oriented programming in general, because of year of C++ in University, wich was like only year ago. However, I'm not good enough to make such systems on C++ on my own, so I was searching how to make it with Blueprints. And mostly people are using simple nodes to make one rifle with animations, wich is not scalable at all. Basically, you show how to use all advanced features in such short time. So now I better understand how to use it in my own "projects", then after watching whole playlists on the topic

Sorry, guys, if anybody is having trouble attaching (picking up) the weapons, try changing all the "keep relative" to "snap to target" on the attach actor to component node (also, remember to HOLD 'F' if you set up your action input the same as mine). 🙏

[@intaloemanoel]

Hey! I deleted the comment because I thought I found the problem but nope... I tried changing to Snap to Target but still no success about it. I don't know if it's the problem but I'm using other weapon models but as default scene component, it should've been working right?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

@intaloemanoel Yeah it should. Sorry man I have no idea without looking over your code. Only other things I can suggest are double triple checking your spawn weapon logic and the class defaults of your pickup BPs...

[@McLarsen100]

If you find your gun turning right after "Left-click (Mouse)" then choose the other animation inside the BP_Pistol -> Play Animation. (there is two Fire_Pistol_W and they have the same name).

[@MizzoFrizzo]

The one you originally selected is probably for the other pistol in the other pack.

[@Mister-Architect]

merci beaucoup pour ce tutoriel ! tu es un génie :)

[@thebasementdweller9944]

Great tutorial, but I seem to be having an issue getting the firing animation to play, as an FYI I am not using the starter weapon pack and got my weapons, character model, and animations off sketchfab. When I try to fire my weapon using an animation montage nothing happens, but when I pull a print string off the play montage execution pin it shows its firing, however, when I pull the print string out of the complete node it doesn't say its firing. So I decided to use play animation sequence on model as you did in the video and it worked, but upon firing, it repositions my weapon in a different location about a foot above where there actual socket is located do you have any idea why my play anim montage isn't playing or why using play animation sequence is working but repositioning my weapon? I haven't had a single issue with any other part of the tutorial and even went onto the next part and got that working as well being able to seamlessly transition between weapons and there respective animation blend spaces. Thanks for any advice you can give.

Node: Spawn Weapon Graph: EventGraph Function: Execute Ubergraph BP Weapon Pickup Blueprint: BP_WeaponPickup Make sure you connect Character Picking Up to a "get a reference to self" in Interact event call triggered by the EnhancedInputAction IA_Interact event.

[@lupen-gameplay8887]

I have seen many tutorials and few like yours. Great quality! I just have one question... As the system has stated, when referring to a class to spawn weapons along the way, the information that you want to store in them is lost. Like for example ammunition. How would you make sure that if I use 12 bullets from a gun, and I throw the gun to pick it up again, I still have the remaining ammunition?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

I'll add more to this system in future videos, such as an inventory and ammunition system. 🙂

[@PureRealityGamesStudio]

Hi @MizzoFrizzo, congrats for the great tutorial. I have a question about your system: It is usual in the development to create a Bp for Attach and a Bp for pickup? Thinking about updating the system is seems a little bit of extra work to always create 2Bps of the same new weapon I want to add in my game. Like, if we use as example a game like Escape from tarkov (or any other AAA games), do you know if they work in the same way? I´m asking you this because I´m working on my own weapon system and I want to add new weapons just by setting up a data table and changing only one BP (with the skeletal mesh), and I thought if could not have a way to keep it all in the same BP, like disabling collisions+physics while the gun is attached and then reactivating collisions+physics when dropping it using a detach from actor node for example.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

No idea, man.

[@user-oz7bv5sq4h]

Hey @MizzoFrizzo I have a question which may sound dumb. But with this Weapon System would it also act as a start to an Inventory system as well? Asking because I notice we're creating Pickup Logic and a system that stores the weapons. Also, I understand the Enum_Name, Enum_Type etc. But let's say I have an apple I want to pickup, none of these values would apply. Basically, can this system be expanded upon as a full Inventory System or are the two separate?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

No not really. For an inventory system I'd use arrays of structures etc, but it's definitely possible to set up an inventory system that works well with this weapons system. Unfortunately I'm under the weather atm and can't tell you when I'll be able to cover that.

[@Zero-it7pd]

No because you are not keeping any of the logic for the item picked up. And when you pick up another it destroys the original and creates a new copy. So each time you swap out the weapon you just create a new one.

[@JP-oo4wz]

hey all, for anyone having the gun spawning at the feet instead of hands issue like i had, the 'Parent' slot for the 'Attach Actor to Component' node in BP_FirstPersonCharacter has to be connected to your first person character model, which would be your arms mesh :) hope this helps!

[@trevorbotha3548]

When I am adding the BPI Interact Implemented Interface, it is not coming up on the left under my blueprint. It is also not on the pickup Child, Could anyone give me some advice ?

[@Damager0415]

Hey @MizzoFrizzo ! So i ran into this issue where the Model I am holding when I pickup the weapon, has a different Scale from the one in for example BP_Pistol. BP_Pistol has the scale set to 0.7 but in game it changes back to 1. Do you know a fix?

[@Damager0415]

Nvm, I figured it out. The "snap to Target" messes it up

[@1manband1]

First off, Thanks for the tut. It's great and easily digestible. Currently I'm stuck at 26:41 when setting the parent of the Attach Actor to Component Node. The Bones for my mesh don't appear in the components section. Is this something you've set up in a previous video of this series? TIA Edit: I just attached it to the mesh and it seems to work, but I'm not sure if that will cause problems down the road

[@MizzoFrizzo]

Oh that's a metahuman body. Just use mesh or whatever your character's skeletal mesh is. 👍

Hi, Question at 20:40 I don't get a 'Spawn Weapon' event reference, I checked it like 6 times and I did the same as you did, The only thing I get is a add 'spawnable from Instance' node with a select node in it, I can get the node in my Character Blueprint. Am I doing something wrong here?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

You must be. 🤷‍♂️

[@Vap3Lif3_MCMXCV]

@MizzoFrizzo Subbed and looking forward to following this series. I was having an issue where when I tried playing the level, the weapons would just disappear and nothing would spawn in my characters hands. Figured out that i missed the reference to self at about 32:20. LOL, I feel stupid for missing that, but glad I figured it out.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

[@Defer94]

Am i the only one having the Interact (message) node missing at 19:25? I looked for it even in the Find in Blueprint browser and nothing, its just no there (along with BPI interact). Could it be that its coming from a specific plugin? EDIT: Solved by adding a Get Reference to Self node connected to the target pin in the Get Overlapping Actors node. It will then appear...

[@obbldudeTV]

Just out of curiosity why use the static mesh then select skeletal mesh in the BP? Couldn't you have just used the skeletal mesh in the first place? Just wondering as to why do one over the other in this instance. I'm still super new to UE5 so just trying to figure out why. Is it just using the static mesh while it's on the ground and when picked up it calls the skeletal mesh? If that's the case that makes sense. I'm just asking because I'm going to be adding a reload system and need to change the bones around a little bit to do so and I just want to make sure that when I change the bones on the gun that it's going to reflect that in the project. I'm not doubting you at all BTW just trying to make sense of it is all. Thank you.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

Yep that's why

@@MizzoFrizzo When I clicked to add my gun asset to the skeletal mesh, I came up with the basic skeleton, cube (can’t remember the last one) but I couldn’t add my gun in even if I dragged it from the content browser.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

@@OddNate That's weird. You must have messed something up for that to be the case...

[@OddNate]

@@MizzoFrizzo What do you think could cause that? I don’t know if it helps but I’m starting from a blank project but that should affect anything right?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

@mcminer31 Are you trying to add a skeletal mesh to the pickup BP which only contains a static mesh component?

[@charles8059]

Hi, first of all thanks for this tutorial, it's very helpful, however, I'm a bit lost at 24:00. I got that 'Current Weapon', however I can't get the 'Pickup Class' and I got no idea why.. I double checked the entire tutorial, but I can't find the moment when we created that part.. What have I done wrong? :(

[@MizzoFrizzo]

You missed the part where we add the variable Pickup Class to our BP_WeaponMaster. It's of type Class Reference to BP_WeaponPickup. You then also need to set the Pickup Class in the class defaults of each weapon BP.

[@charles8059]

@@MizzoFrizzo thank you so much! I had a typo in the variable.. So I did not miss that haha, anyway, it works now. Thanks again!

[@MizzoFrizzo]

@@charles8059 You're very welcome, my guy. 🫶

[@elganzandere]

Question. I have several Metahumans so I have been implementing everything in the 3rdPersonChar default BP. Is that alright, or must it be done in each Metahuman you wish to play as ?

[@MizzoFrizzo]

I'm not sure if they'll inherit the logic. Try it and see...

[@elganzandere]

@@MizzoFrizzo will report back, once I know.

[@elganzandere]

Hand socket(s) & everything else appear to have inherited from Parent, as expected. v5.2.1

[@MizzoFrizzo]

@elganzandere The models aren't scaled the same so I'd be concerned with the position of the socket relative to the hands...

[@elganzandere]

@@MizzoFrizzo good to know, thank you. greatly appreciate you narrating in a way that minimizes having to *pause* / alt+tab out of Editor to rewind, et cetera

Nice totorial but I have 1 question I cant find the _Main file anywhere I searched up I looked at the place but it is not there

[@MizzoFrizzo]

It's a folder we created. 🤦‍♂️

[@Hxttrick]

For some reason 'Simulate Physics' is greyed out and can't be enabled for the PickupObject in BP_PickupMaster

[@McLarsen100]

Use the Square. It doesn't matter in the end ;)

[@jaxonmcdonald6625]

I had the same problem but I figured it out because I used skeletal mesh instead of static mesh. Hope that helps!!!

[@HTETyt]

This is probably fixed in the future videos but just in case: If I switch weapons while holding fire, it will take the previous firing mode and apply it to the current weapon. Ofcourse, switching pistol to assault rifle don't really do anything, but switching assualt rifle to pistol, wellllll... *rapid firing pistol shots in the distance* The pistol is in AutoFiring mode xD It will reset to their own default firing modes when I release the trigger.

[@franccca]

Hey, Mizzo! I have a question: can the player hold two guns with this system? Actually I'm trying to make de Character hold a flashlight in his left hand. Because right now he throws it away to get the pistol Lol

[@MizzoFrizzo]

Yeah of course, dude. First thing I would do is set up a separate spawn logic for left-handed items. 😉

[@Conversion108]

thanks!

[@shirakuyanai4095]

How to pickup items only when hovering crosshair over them? I can't find anything about it on google.

[@MizzoFrizzo]

Search "line trace interaction" 😉

I can't be sure why that would be happening. Perhaps go back to where we create the weapon to spawn reference and make sure you follow along correctly...

[@williambailey1451]

At 36:43 my Assault Rifle still isn't showing in my characters hand and I'm not sure what I've done wrong since I've followed all of you videos instructions very closely.

hey the pistol falls through objects do you know how to fix btw love the vid

Do the objects it falls through have collisions?

[@yamin45247]

at 24:11 , you linked " current weapon " variable with " pickup class " , but when i try to do that it give me that they aren't compatible , i hope you can help me in this and thanks

[@MizzoFrizzo]

What I'm doing there is getting the variable 'pickup class' from 'current weapon' which is an object reference to a child of BP_WeaponMaster. Make sure you created that variable inside BP_WeaponMaster @17:12 and then set it in the class defaults of the children.

[@yamin45247]

No idea.

Should be able to if it’s up on the unreal market place. The only thing you have to watch out for is when it uses features not on unreal like ai stuff where you need to use their website to do stuff.

95% of stuff on market place should be safe to use in game.

It's an object reference to whichever character blueprint you're using

[@Blacklisted_Gaming]

it's the name of your character. If you're using the default FPS blueprint, it will be BP First Person Character
