Can you please add an endless/Wave mode in suite for hire somehow.?❤ I'm dying to play more of this gem but story over and over again is borinf 😢

Every time I see or hear the name crimson I get flashbacks to helluva boss, specifically the boat scene from S2E3

You are one animation from top down GTA. All you gotta do is let us DRIVE, CJ! Maybe you could do UE tutorial on it? If anyone reading is a dev and want to do this: The secret is to have an enter/exit point as a child of the object (Vehicle, chair, etc.) Then you animate (non-looping/no root motion) the character into said object from there. During this animation, trigger events like the car door opening. Then you parent the object to the vehicle, disable canControl on player, and enable it on vehicle. Note: Disable the player colliders at this point, as they will technically be outside the car. When you want to get out, reverse animation or play new one that ends in the same position at enter/exit. toggle canControl(s) respectively. I figured it out in Unity years ago but lost most my vision. Just tired of seeing people "pop" in/out of cars. The beauty of this is if you are using AI navigation, when they get near the door's trigger you can send them to the enter/exit point and start the animation.

[@universalsoldier27]

Very clear thanks for the assist. Was trying to figure out how to get it to close automatically after opening and I ended up using a retriggerable delay of 2 seconds in case you play with the door. So once it finishes the animation it waits 2 seconds of not playing with the door before running the close door animation.

Tutorial was a huge help for getting multiple doors to work in my game, only issue I've run into is when I have a weapon in my hand it seems to block the hit trace. No matter what I try it continues to be in the way, making me unable to interact with anything else.

[@poppabrown2733]

I swapped the line trace object with a line trace channel and it seemed to fix the issue, not sure if that will cause any issues in the future.

[@FirstCrimson]

Typically you'd want to have your FPS weapon have no collision at all to avoid any sort of issues like the one you encountered

[@CyclingGamerOfficial]

There is something I would like to know How can I go about doing a door in a similar fashion to COD where you can run through a door if you move fast enough, however if you don't, you have to use a key action?

[@blackjoker5362]

Nice videos, when i watched your video on destruction i asked my self why he didn't use chaos? Is it for the performance?

[@FirstCrimson]

Suit for Hire uses UE4 which doesn't have access to Chaos (unless you build from source), so that's why I went with more of a material/FX setup.

[@tonygarrett2223]

Hey this isn’t related to the tutorial but related to suit for hire I thought something for suit for hire would be cool is like a character customization or creator just a thought

[@KiwiHawk-downunder-nz]

Would you use this for a portal/telport like the fast travel in Skyrim?

[@gustawkrzewicki1496]

Hey, would be nice to see top down shooter tutorial :) there isnt really that much tutorials on the Internet especially from expert in this field

[@atlasentity]

hey there! i know your comment was from a year ago but if youre still looking for a top down shooter tutorial, ive been watching this one by kevin freeman, he's a really great teacher: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZiac3qMhLSea8Usi=wkMRiOLOMsSVUD_s

[@itsdylan4642]

I have been watching your videos, I was curious if you knew how to make a game where you have a multiplayer/online and a story mode like GTA V or minecraft. Thanks

[@IsaacCode95]

nice tutorial, never really used tags. i guess i should maybe start lol i actually use "does implement interface" and with that approach i get the same result we can actually do this with a Collision box too, and a cast to the player. though i wonder what is better in terms of performance ?

[@FirstCrimson]

The Component tag makes it so we can control what parts of an actor can be interacted with- so "Does Implement Interface" wouldn't work in that situation. I'd say the line-trace would be cheaper since a collision box requires overlaps and that *could* be seen as more expensive (and probably inaccurate at times).

[@elganzandere]

@@FirstCrimson I've seen others use Enumerators (closed/opened; to track status) + Switch On. any performance/scalability concerns vs. your method used here, or simply an alternative?

[@ericcrevling9434]

I understand completely when I’m shown and I can learn and do on my own. However, my question is how do I learn this stuff on my own so I understand what things interact with what in unreal engine? I feel like as soon as I know what I’m doing I break something and don’t understand what I did or how to fix it lol. Is there like a book I can read or a class I can take? Any help or direction helps! I don’t want to spend 10 years stumbling through everything just to not be a pro I’d rather spend a year or two hard core learning and dabbling with practice projects and games to learn. I just don’t know where to go to learn stuff lol thanks.

[@FirstCrimson]

I think the best way to go about it is to try to watch a video and apply small bits of it to your own processes, or learning pieces of the engine or coding practices in general. So one tutorial you might learn for loops or delay/timers, stuff like that, and then being able to apply that to another mechanic. Best place that has more recent information is the Unreal Learning site, they have a whole area for learning stuff- I didn't personally learn from there, a lot of what I learned was just going in and fucking with shit hoping it works. Definitely didn't work properly the first few times but I got the hang of it in the end!

[@glitchered]

cool. i'll maybe tackle a door, when i get the renderer stable to playtest. and get it to actually package the stuff without crashing the compilers, cause shitty shader code. 😅

[@KaijuGameplayTv6592]

this is random but i found it sad that there is no unreal engine 5 tutorial about how to make a survival game about creatures i mean by that playing as an creature i want to know how they are made like in roblox the creatures of sonaria or the isle or path of titans or the monster hunter if you can, can you make a tutorial about it?.if so then thank you

[@lmbue]

this might be naïve or ignorant, but why do these tools like UE5 or Blender feel so overly complicated? is there a reason it can't be as simple as like Minecraft creative? and maybe allowing you to dive deeper into the software if you choose/need. does it need to be so difficult to bring an idea to life.

[@FirstCrimson]

Complex games require complex tools, if everything were simple, we'd have the craziest games being released hourly.

[@arthurmorgan2679]

i have a question before buying suit for hire. is there a john wick inspired character?

[@FirstCrimson]

There's no character customization just yet, we'll be working on it once we're close to 1.0 release

[@arthurmorgan2679]

@@FirstCrimson if there is no character customization yet, why is the character in this vid: kzbin.infowVxc2zjh1Gk?feature=share different than this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJPXimeuiNOUpJI where in the 2nd vid he looks like john wick with a full black suit

[@FirstCrimson]

@@arthurmorgan2679 We changed the character model and added more detail- but we also wanted the starter suit to look a bit more rugged so unlocking suits had more impact for players.

[@arthurmorgan2679]

@@FirstCrimson i Just bought the game and i hope i will be able to play as john wick soon

[@elganzandere]

how much $/month to ask you questions as i'm building in UE ?

[@FirstCrimson]

I don't have a rate for mentorships as of yet, but there's always the Patreon/Discord and you can easily just ask questions and I'll try to answer when I can!
