How To Create A Weapons System With Simulated Physics Pickups - Unreal Engine 5 Tutorial

[@PitchforkAcademy]

This video has an updated and much more advanced version! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpC0ZmqPqNRso68 The Military Weapons Dark and Military Weapons Silver asset packs are not available on Fab due to being long-abandoned by their creator. I have combined both packs into one zip and uploaded it to Drive for use with my tutorials. Download it via the link below, extract the contents and copy them into the 'content' folder of your project to add them and follow along. :grin: drive.google.com/file/d/1mWnQoWsF15rccD63gwmpsxtZpn83B_2U/view?usp=sharing

Hey, If I follow this new updated version for the weapons system, will I be able to reasonably continue with this fps tutorial using the updated version? Or would it cause any issues going forward with this series? Class content btw mate, most comprehensive and understandable true fps one I've found!

Love how you're planning for people to add more. Too many tutorials focus on just getting this one project finished and don't keep in mind we might want to keep going and add more.

[@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

[@DisturbicMusic]

Finally someone I can actually understand. Keep up the good work!

Hey, for anyone who's gun is not appearing and is getting the following error: PIE: Error: Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property K2Node_Event_CharacterPickingUp". 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. That fixed it for me. Great tutorial by the way.

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?

[@PitchforkAcademy]

@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...

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).

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).

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

[@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.

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?

[@PitchforkAcademy]

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.

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

[@fearingalma1550]

For some reason interact is never happening to pick up the weapon. I made sure I have input events and key binds, and I've followed the tutorial to the letter, but I still can't pick up the weapon. I'm guessing it's some kind of conflict with previous code because I was building on a separate project, but that was just the unreal animation system tutorial with the third person model and drawing and holstering a weapon. Is there some kind of function in Metahumans that you are using to power this?

[@PitchforkAcademy]

No, it's applicable to any skeletal mesh.

[@DarrenClark-r8f]

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?

[@PitchforkAcademy]

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-Skillz]

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.

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.

Any guidance on setting this up for MP? I understand the basics, and have tried a few ways to make this replicate using switch on authority, and also setting up multicast and run on server but I'm struggling to get my head round it!

[@PitchforkAcademy]

No sorry I don't. All the best with it though!

My question is, how do I attach two skeletal meshes? For example, if I have two guns or something, I have one static mesh but two skeletal meshes, one for the right hand and one for the left hand." current weapon" only allows me to set one, and I've tried adding "Enum_WeaponSubType" and so on, but I can't get it to work. (I'm Japanese, so my English might be a little strange. Thanks for the great explanatory video, which is not available in Japan)

2pistols=dual wielding(Sorry, I don't know how to say it in English.)
