[@GorkaGames]

Thank you so much man!! I really appreciate it and I`m glad that you find my tutorials ueful!! I always try to make my tutorials easy to follow!

[@jogoseteorias]

I love your vids, I learn english with this lmao

[@TheWpNCrew]

Great tutorial bro, do you know how to add a indication when you get close to the door to show what key the player needs to press to open the door?

[@GorkaGames]

Thanks, yeah just when you do the line trace, just create a widget with an "E" key text for example, and when in the line trace it doesn't detect any door object, just do a "remove from parent". I have a "How to create a health bar" tutorial which covers the part where I create a widget. So I think it will help

[@stathiszoulakis9599]

i think you dont explain the nodes well

[@davidvdbergen]

Your videos are awesome for beginnners to get an understanding of how things work in UE5. However, you are talking SO FAST and clicking so fast and adding things without a better description or clearly explaining what you are adding it is very hard to get a grasp of what you are actually doing. Please take a few extra seconds to talk more clearly and explain why you do certain tings in certain ways. I do love your videos, but it is very hard to follow when you are going a million miles an hour 🙂

I am doing a first person game, do I use another set of bluprints or can I use the same? I used the same but it didn't work.

[@griffithbowen4590]

Seems like you're in a mad rush, I had to go back so many times, I appreciate the tutorial though it was pretty good.

[@a.ben.1702]

Thanks for a great tutorial. How could you make the door swing open by just colliding or walking into it?

[@DionneTheakstone]

Thankyou very much, It worked perfectly :) I changed the static mesh to another door but it broke :( Cant I just duplicate BP_Door and change SM_Door ? Any suggestion would be great ?

[@defensivejackass4690]

If someone imported his own door mesh, make sure to set the pivot point at (0,0,0) in your 3d software.

[@Shinayu_TCG]

Great stuff friend, I follow your videos! I have an issue and hopefully you can help me on this: I want to interact with a blueprint (garage door mesh) by opening (pull down) and closing (push up) it (two different interactions). The opening interaction works as intended but when I want to close the garage door (after opening it) the blueprint automatically jumps to the previous place (where I placed the garage door BP in editor). How can I keep the garage door at the same place when I executed the "opening interaction" ? -> I used the same blueprint structure as in your video.

[@joespaulding6155]

any idea why the pivot point for the door is in the middle and not from the side? my door rotates in the middle of the actor. I tired to move the root component over to where the hinges are at but it didn't change anything.

[@donpilo20]

can you find the answer or cant?thanks

[@joespaulding6155]

@@donpilo20 This was a long time ago and I very well may be mistaken but if I recall correctly I think I added a new root to the BP and then positioned that one where i wanted it. Then changed the reference in the code to use that root instead. Probably wasn't the best fix but it was a work around that did do the job.

[@ZATKINGSTON]

If anyone still looking for the solution you just have to add an Arrow as parent of the door mesh in the Blueprint viewport -> place it where you want the pivot point then in the Event graph at "Set Relative Rotation" change the door mesh to the arrow you added and you done :D

Thanks. This worked for me in the newest version of Unreal5 and I can see where I can possibly inject my door open/close sound effects within the blueprint.

[@Trolle-official1234]

This was an amazing short tutorial but I just have a quick question, how to I make the player not be able to see the cast line for the door?

[@scottwalker4619]

In the player character blueprint. On "Line Trace By Channel" set "Draw Debug Type" to "None"

[@Furiac.]

the way i learned was with 'move component to' and then adding a timer variable. but i think yours is a much better solution because you closing the door is an easy addition

[@GorkaGames]

yeah exactly, it can work eather way. But in my opinion this way is a bit more correct and more expandable in the future

[@84RX]

Could you please make a tutorial on how to make the door open / close depending on where the player is positioned?

[@JDRos]

I think 150 is like the perfect amount of linetrace for doors. Great video by the way!

[@GoldyReal]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, but can you tell me how to fix the issue that i can open the door from any distance? Thank you :)

[@zird_]

reduce the number in the multiplication, that leads to the line trace, it is the effective range of the character ( i used 350 but it is for first person not third ) 🤗

[@davidecantalupi3000]

Best UE tutorial on this platform, thank you!!

[@endlessfiregaming3863]

Hey great tutorial . Just wondering is there a way to reuse the blueprint but with a different static mesh ? I thought duplicating it might work but it still changed all the doors in my level . Please help ?

[@sakshamcraftminecraft]

Could you make a tutorial on a ruined city environment ?

[@GorkaGames]

Of course! I think it would be a very cool tutorial

[@theawsometurtle1]

[@prOyun]

Thank you for the tutorial. It helped me on open and close the door but i have an issue. I can open the door so long as i aim at it (it doesnt matter the distance between my character and the door), can i set a distance confinement to interaction?

[@Blockified_]

Change the multiply number from 3000 to 300. That makes you have to be close to open it.

I have no clue why. But i feel as i am doing exactly what you are doing, but when i trying to interact with my door (which has a preadded collision), it is not opening or anything at all. and i am completely stuck.

what a bout a folding door? almost the same process? and is there any diff if you use third person vs the first person? the approach is the same?

[@GorkaGames]

if you use a folding door that its behavior might be different from a regular door, then you might need to create a custom animation for that. But if the door will open the similar way to my video`s one, then there shouldn't be any problem. There are no differences if you use a third-person controller or a first-person controller. 😀

[@wolfiedgr8t]

Great tutorial, thanks 👍

[@GorkaGames]

thank you for watching!

[@thebelowzerogamers2179]

How do I do this with multiple doors, I've gotten there mostly but you have to click twice to open the other door. For example if you go to door type #1, you can click once and it opens, but if you go to door type #2 and click, it takes two clicks to open.

[@GorkaGames]

Yeah you can integrate this ssytem into any kind of object you want to interact to open/ close with a smooth transition.

[@Wiizl]

How would you make it so you can only open the door if you stand close to it? I assume you have to use some actor overlap event but I don't know where to plug this check in the blueprint... Or maybe in that case we don't even need the line trace at all?

[@GorkaGames]

with the Line Trace it will only interact things depending in the distance, which is the multiplier added in the node

[@Wiizl]

@@GorkaGames Thanks, exactly what I needed. I had an impression the line trace goes on forever :)

[@OmegaOutlaw2024]

Maybe a year ago this worked cause @ 06:21 in your video, mine aren't allowed to connect to those. Meaning it says it's not allowed anymore. Is there something wrong with it? its at the exact point where you would need to connect "Break Hit Result" then ect. stopped here. Ill look for another one i guess. Id skip this unless there is a solution.

so its right after you connect break hit result the Out Hits will not connect to Hit thats where im stuck.

add a collision box in the viewport, then do a begin on event overlap in the blueprint and you can trigger it that way
