My eyes lit up, this so seriously amazing, the animations are smooth and fluid, it looks fun and good to control, keep developing this cuz it could be something super special, city could use some work😊

[@NotLard]

You deserve way more subscribers and views man. The way you explain things is right up my alley and really helps me figure out how to put stuff together myself. I look forward to seeing what you do in the future my guy :)

[@d0be433]

The animation is amazing the only problem is when spiderman is falling and etc he would be very still at the end pose. What I'm trying to say is when you carefully analyze spidey falling down and etc you can see his arms and legs slightly moving therefore when he has a very still fall to the ground it feels like spidey's a robot. Hopefully, this helps!

[@paulcook2320]

Amazing stuff. Love your work. Re the "outward force" point, my understanding from the GDC on this from Insomniac was that rather than apply an outward force, they actually moved the simulation swing point outward from the visual swing point along the face normal of the building, while leaving the point to render the webs to as the original point. Apparently this is barely noticeable in reality but solved the problem of zig-zagging across the street.

[@simonerodrigues5797]

Thanks man, I've been looking for a tutorial like this for a long time♥️♥️♥️

[@Beyond-Studios]

I’d be really interested to see a high quality vehicle traffic and pedestrian system. Or other components to a city like the one you find in the Spider-Man PS4 game.

[@LewisFiford]

I'll bear that in mind for the future. It's certainly something I am interested in exploring.

[@gameplayripper]

WOWWW!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much man!!!! I was looking for a channel like yours, you see, I'm a new student on this games industry, currently taking games design and I challenge myself to do some awesome game mechanics for learning purposes. And you certainly helped me. Not with a follow along tutorial, but yes thinking how to make it. Thank you Lewis!

[@LewisFiford]

You are very welcome ! Glad you found the video useful. I'll be sharing the project files real soon too if you want to take a look at the systems in a bit more detail

Oh my goodness, you almost did the same of the game's swinging Companies will hire you so soon Maybe they already did

[@Lesimes-2055]

4:58 as a great game designer, knowing “some” physics, logics and other science related stuff is required, that’s why I suck at it

[@crackerraven4404]

ok so I'm not trying to be rude but i think when spider man is sky diving i think he looks to stif like he starts the animation but the he doesn't move after that. but the web swing its self dose look really good

[@okasareru7226]

Sir, you are a genious. Thanks a lot!

[@HKBoba]

could you show us how you figured out the equations for the pendulum swing? I'd be super interested in how you came up with the formulas and what the final formulas are. I'm trying to implement this in Unity so it I can't copy-pasta the blueprints unfortunately and would be highly interested in the mathematics behind it

[@LewisFiford]

Ahh, well my solution wasn't as technical as all that in the end. I had a good go at figuring out how to make the pendulum equations work for a spidey swing, and have since tried all sorts of crazy methods to simulate this movement in other ways, but in the end just relying on the physics of the engine gave the best result. This forum post has some useful information. forums.unrealengine.com/development-discussion/blueprint-visual-scripting/30704-need-a-hand-swinging-like-spider-man/page4 but all the code is really doing is applying a corrective force - using the dot product method I mention in the video, this method also has the bonus of being adaptive to any other velocity added, so its quite versatile for collisions and force correction. The math for this is simple enough - just get the dot product of the players velocity and the distance to the attach point * the direction vector between the player and the attach point

[@mexicansniper_2431]

looks amazing

[@markussantos3304]

much better than the marvel’s avengers game

[@kwk-r7x]

I hope Insomniac does swinging from the ground up for the sequel. It needs more mechanical depth and less hand-holding. I want less unrealistic control and more realistic control (as long as there's a balance, it doesn't need to be 100% realistic)

[@LewisFiford]

100% I agree. I guess they're focused on enabling the maximum amount of players to feel like pros, but even if its optional to bump up the skill level required to traverse I think that would be great

[@JB-iz8bi]

I wish there was a tutorial on how to do this in Unity. Great tutorial though!

Well Lewis, first of all I'd like to thank you for sharing this. I've been searching for it and struggling a lot to get this mechanic done. I know you will share the project with us but I can't even get the line trace by channel right. Like I know how to do it but I'm not sure how to fire multiple lines at once haha

[@LewisFiford]

I am having some trouble porting it to Unity C# and rigidbodies i get almost there but making it swing to the camera direction and no touching the ground is the issues... for some reason it seems that adding the forces in unity does not translate directly to ue4 and vice versa

how do I compensate for different weights with this? Like what if spider-man was 600 lbs or somethings.

[@kai33557]

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. If you want the force to feel the same regardless of player mass, I would recommend multiplying the force by the players mass or weight (whether or not you would use mass or weight heavily depends on your purpose and the game engine used).
