How to Make a Strafe Movement in Unreal Engine 5

[@GorkaGames]

Here is the anim pack that I used in the video: www.unrealengine.com/marketplace/en-US/product/animation-starter-pack

Not compatible with the 5.3 version.

You should put an onscreen counter for every time you say "basically" :D

[@JayantChakradhari]

Hi When I am opening animation blendspace everything is fine but when I try to use any animation the character just go away from the camera like when I'm using any running animation it just run away from the camera, how can lock the character's location ? Please tell me 😢

[@TheOneAndOnlyTed]

I was having the same issue, and after a little messing around Enabling Root Motion and Force Root Lock on every animation fixed the problem for me.

[@JayantChakradhari]

@@TheOneAndOnlyTed yes that's what I do too but I'm where using the animation from mixamo and when I use to enable root motion the animation start looking weird but mixamo allow us to fix that mixamo provides a option called (In place) or something that fixed my problem But still thanks for the help 😊

[@DarkSession6208]

@Gorka Games can we have a updated video for strafing? I followed your newest movement video, but since you used lots of different state machines and did NOT put walking/running/idle into one node, its very confusing.

[@Guesty-t4c]

This is a great video♥

happy new year buddy! 🎉

[@GorkaGames]

happy new year to you too man!!

[@thelastdev]

My animation Blueprint looks different than yours , Idont have taccess to the AnimGraph, mine says Event Graph. How can I find this in the lastest version of ue5?

[@GorkaGames]

yeah the anim Bp contains an event graph and an anim graph. But sometimes it comes close, if you see in the bottom left where all the variables are you will find it

[@thelastdev]

To get rid of the Cast Node, create an Interface with Output of type Character. Implement the interface on your Blueprint, returning as output a reference to itself, use this new node to get the character reference without needing to cast.

[@Soraphis91]

does not matter. this is the ABP of the ThirdPersonCharacter. whenever the later is loaded the former will be loaded too anyway. You could also just Cast to Character (as it is a C++ class it is loaded anyway) - no need for an interface. But usually your ABP has a lot of states the tightly relate to your character so having a tight coupling here i absolutely fine. The cast node is not evil. *unnecessary* hard references and tightly coupling is what you want to try to reduce.

[@Silver-u2z]

Hey, great tutorial! I was just wondering how I could keep the normal camera behavior and have the strafe bound to a key? For example, if I wanted to aim at something by holding mouse2 (or something like that) and switch to strafing.

[@donfalcone7560]

Thank you for the video. How did you achieve negative speed? When the stick is deflected in any direction, or WASD is pressed in any case, the speed has a positive value, and there is no strafe and walking back, just an animation of running forward is played in all directions.

[@Zetapodius394]

I'm having the same problem. It's just the same animation playing in all directions

[@fabiorota9661]

while walking backwards and changing direction slithly there are problems because of the switch from 180 to -180 that causes all the running animations to cicle; why is nobody talking about this?

[@seanerer]

Did you ever figure this out?

[@fabiorota9661]

@@seanerer yeah, the problem is that the blend space goes all the way from 180 to -180, playing all the animations, if it's been a while, but i think there was a setting fir the blend space that solves it, but i really don't quite remember, if yiu mess around the blend space settings yiu should fix it eventually though, that is what i did

[@FreddieSanderman-gs9br]

Hey love the tutorial but how can i add sprinting to this, i dont want to lose all these cool animations😅

[@Tommyboi7566]

How do I add crouching to this and make that have a blend space as well?

[@wolfiedgr8t]

Happy New Year Man ❤.Excellent video :) so how would you implement the crouch animations in the blendspace and on the character anim blueprint?

[@GorkaGames]

Happy new year to you too man!! 🤩Yeah so basically you would make the crouching blendspace and then create a new state on the ABP. Then you would basically create a variable called "isCouching" both in the ABP and in the Player BP. So from the ABP you would get the variable and if it is true you would transition from that state. In this video a the end I cover it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYa7p6Rsdtlppqc

[@valurkurianprivateinvestig8822]

Also came to say this, replying for exposure

[@scoutstv9263]

@@valurkurianprivateinvestig8822 I found it out. I had to add a bool to the anime blueprint where if the player not moving I set his orient rotation to False

Does WingFix have good material??? I’m using Udemy rn..but trying to expand my learning network

[@serdargokhanonder28]

Hi. This is very educational video but I did everything you did, but I can't navigate with the mouse. I want to rotate in the direction I want using the mouse. how can I do it?

[@apexpredator-fp1fs]

This is just amazing well explain , no west of time , and all work thank you ! +1sub and like

[@redstoner897]

When going from moving forwards to moving backwards, the character goes into strafe mode before going to the opposite direction. Does anyone know why?

[@michaelmano7261]

What are your thoughts on casting inside of anim bps? The note on it says it's memory expensive.

[@KillerBearsaw]

I know this is old but for anye-one else sees this and is wondering: my understanding is that it's fine if you are casting to something that doesn't have a lot of children, or are casting as part of initializing a blueprint (like in the anim BPin the video) but you should avoid doing it to an object that has a lot of children, or frequently. I used to be so opposed to using casting that i wasted countless hours trying to find work arounds. Just avoid casting for things that are done frequently

[@SuperBabyPunch]

That's why he's saving it to a variable at initialization. This reduces the frequency it will use Cast. (instead of needing to recast it every split second as it updates). The variable the casted actor is being held in is just a reference. Its not taking up many resources.

[@bignickofficial]

Right Gorka can you help me here please. I came here after your 3 hour tutorial which by the way was fantastic great help to get me started on my project. Thank you. My issue is with the anim graph already set to how we set it in the new tutorial you just released. How do we add the strafe blend to the animgraph aswell? :)

[@hoodz85]

replace the idle/jog blendspace 1d you created in the other tutorial with the blendspace made here. On the aiming state, in the layered blend per bone settings make sure to check "Mesh space rotation blend".

[@thebelowzerogamers2179]

How do I make the jumping work?

[@guybeahmiv932]

yeah. it doesnt work this way. any fix yet?

[@MaikM7]

Thank you! How do I make the speed when moving backwards slower?

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks! You could get the axis value of the Input and check if it`s negative, is so, just decrease the "Set Max Walk Speed" on the character movement component

[@RDD87z]

Thanks, this was stright to the point and precisely 10 minutes! if you want an idea for a future video, you could give the character torso melee animation(maybe sword ), and leg to move separatedly with the strafemovements you just created. ( just like paragon characters do) where the leg animation changes its strafe animation if the spine is passing a certain degree.(actually not sure how that works but that idea is nice from the paragon guys)

[@GorkaGames]

Thank you!! Yeah I see what you mean, so I actually have made a tutorial where I use the Blend Bone Per layer node in order to separate the torso from the legs so you can play the attack animations separate from influencing the legs etc, but adding what you said on it would be a great idea to have the legs be facing in a way, but the torso following the camera separately, if that means what you mean maybe? 🤣

[@RDD87z]

​@@GorkaGames HAHA i think Camera will just give the direction where the attack animation will aim to,... basically what they did is , the leg direction try to follow naturally the direction of the torso. ( for example: torso pointng right and knees pointing left that would feel awkward xDD ). So im trying to figure out how they planned this. in my head is easier than explaining it :D HAHAHA i think its really important to know the rotation of the low spine respectively to the Player(capsule) ForwardVector . So depending on the degree between VelocityVector and the ForwardVector of that bone spine1, So if bone is stright and im pressing W, this resulting Degree will be 0, so it should do the walkforward/runforward animation moving forward, But if theres an attack that swings from right to left and lets say the torso is looking left around 90degrees from the camera/capsule forward-direction, then if im moving forward with W, it should try to figure out which animation to play when torso is turned -90.. probably it should play StrafeRight animation, that will move the player still forward but playing straferight animation towards the camera direction. heheh man im sorry. Its really hard to explain.. But believe me this is so cool when i saw it in paragon melee attacks , upperbody and locomotion mechanics.

[@RDD87z]

​@@GorkaGames kzbin.infoUgkxtn8xO3oQ-5ihlMZIdH6BNxyNpIoemLmb this is what i mean.. check the legs and the melee, he can still move and look natural, even if the torso is pointing another angle, the legs will turn accordingly and still keep moving in the pressed directions. Do you know how to make this? or what the logic behind it?

[@TheKr0ckeR]

Thanks for a great guide! But how to do that with a top-down game? For example, if we are going up and looking up with mouse cursor. Its okay it will all work. But what if our mouse position is on the right but we are moving to UP, so it means we need to strafe left. Because he is looking to the right (in our axis), but locally moving left when we click W.

[@天才變態少女东北歌手]

right click to aim mode

[@arthurdante6515]

This tutorial is very good, but I was wondering where did you get the animations you are using in the video?

[@GorkaGames]

[@ChristopherFranko]

Great video. Basically just limit your use of the word Basically. And also, take a drink of water before you start doing this, as there are like 4 spots in the video where you are smacking your spit around. it will help with viewer retention. to cut all that stuff out. What is misophonia? People with misophonia are affected emotionally by common sounds - usually those made by others, and usually ones that other people don't pay attention to. The examples above (breathing, yawning, or chewing) create a fight-or-flight response that triggers anger and a desire to escape.

[@tehf00n]

As someone who suffers from misophonia I have to agree with this comment. Often I switch a tutorial off or goto subtitles only because all I can hear is the lip slapping and squirty sounds that make me want to rage punch a hippo in the eye.
