How To Create Basic Two Person Animations - Unreal Engine Tutorial

[@geoffrey3668]

Thank for the tutorial! I replace the "animation REF" mesh by a scene component once I get the correct position to save resources ^^

[@MattAspland]

Great tip!

[@woytecb2633]

you have the best channel with tutorials for unreal engine

[@MattAspland]

Thanks so much mate!

[@emirisik]

Again very useful video. You never disappoint bro! =) Keep them coming!

[@TheTruthIsGonnaHurt]

You sir read my mind!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. You would think with how many games involve interactions between two people there would be more tutorials all over about this. I am happy to see you taking the ball and running with this. 👍👊

[@royzed2039]

Nice one! I'm about to make a stealth take down mechanic in my game, this is so easy after watching this video! Thanks!

[@MattAspland]

That’s great to hear - all the best to you!

[@wrstldev742]

Might want to check out the grapple component for that stuff. Works VERY well.

[@royzed2039]

@@wrstldev742 Just checked that one out, it's very interesting and deep, but we want to build it by ourselves. Thanks tho!

[@natlasmines]

haven't watched yet.. but ill def be coming back, this is something i've wanted to learn more about for a while!

[@mortenw2105]

I have been looking for this for a while, you have just earned a subscribe and a like, please keep up making these videos

[@MattAspland]

Thanks so much!

[@alexmanolache8473]

Amazing content as always Matt. I don't do Unreal Engine anymore but I enjoy watching your videos! Keep up the good work

[@billlin421]

This channel always give us some video what I really need, thank you.

[@MattAspland]

Happy to help! :)

[@grey_wolf_studio]

I'm first hahahaha matt just wanna say thank you for all the tutorials! You are amazing at explaining and it helped alot!

[@MattAspland]

Super happy to help! Thanks for your support!

[@TheJesusjones]

This is exactly what I've been looking for!

[@Achillez098]

Great job man, you are an absolute legend!

[@ryanjdevlin87]

is the best way of making them each do in sync random animation to throw the animations into two different arrays in matching order then use the same index to get and play them at the same time ?EDIT : I went with a struct full of arrays that have the data for each montage to b played, such as the montages themselves location offset's and bools 4 various things done during the different montages. thanks

[@MUSIC.JAY-2O]

Hi mate great tutorial, works brilliantly. was just wondering would this work for random animations? or would you need to set up individual nodes depending on the location.

[@MartKart8]

Oh I noticed something in your punch tutorial if the character can punch and swim and you use the attack animation when swimming the character stops swimming and can walk at the bottom of the water. I fixed this by adding a OR node on the first branch of the punching code, on the Character movement I added is Falling and Is Swimming to the OR, attached Or to Branch and it fixed it.

[@MattAspland]

Ah nice work Martin!

[@TheFozze]

Awesome tutorial! I have a question though, if i wanted to make the player to move to the other actor instead, would i just use the same code but on the other actor? Im trying to make a button press animation, and having the button pop out of the wall and move to the player looks a bit silly, heh

[@TimboFilms]

I was going to ask on such a video on your discord. Seems like you have already read my mind :) (sorry for bad english)

[@YuaASMR]

This is great, you've done a fantastic job as always An upgraded version down the line would be amazing, multiplayer replicated where you interact with another player (in this kit the second viewport ofc) But to run efficiently with other players, it would require some form of "Player wants to shake hands etc, do you want to accept?" Yes/No, you know yourself ofc.

[@NaBeHobby]

What if I have different animations such as hugging, takedown, etc? Do I need to create new skeletal mesh that requires to change the rotation and translation for each animation?

[@raktimjs]

One word substitution: EPIC

[@MartKart8]

I noticed when importing any mesh having it on Import Rotation on the Z on 90 always helps it face forwards.

[@MattAspland]

Ah nice tip - cheers!

[@Jhtoastygames]

Would this be doable for an enemy grabbing you as well?

[@JDRos]

For killing enemy AI, I believe it's better to have the Animation Ref on the enemy instead so you could transition smoothly to a death animation and ragdoll. I would definitely try this out for so called "finishers" along with custom camera movement to hide jitters in the transitions.

[@samuelagius716]

For some reason my AI is not doing the animation. Is it because I have my ai to run at random places?

[@finnanimations1334]

Heyyy Matt, you wouldnt happen to know how to make an game thingy for pulling a sword out of something? For example from stone? (like the famous sword in the stone) i've personally tried looking all over this with no luck

[@finnanimations1334]

Also, i did "discover" that i could make something like, press e to pull sword, the sword that you pull dissapears and another useable sword spawns on your hand

[@multiplexgraph]

@@finnanimations1334 You could do what you said there exactly and add a animation if you want thats all there would be to it(You can use Anim Notify's to say when in the animation to equip it or if your animation is set up in a certain way then you can just add at the end or start of the animation).

[@freshtechtips]

Well, what if I have interaction with too many NPCs and each one do diffrent action and animation In that case I need to create Skeletal Mesh for Animation reference for each action and the two amimation?

[@LetsPatrick]

Hi, is possible to make this happen for multiplayer and to Player Animation?

[@logicreasonandevidence]

Hi Matt, what would cause the other character to sometimes teleport halfway through the floor?

[@Yatra_yogi_Aniket]

can u plxx make tutorial on multiplayer solo duo squad sysytem plzz make tutorial its a huge request

[@dr.infinite9481]

how do you do this to where instead its an ai that attacks you by grabbing you arm?

[@Yatra_yogi_Aniket]

awsome

[@PerFeldvoss]

Cool, but you could probably replace the mannequin with an actor component once you get the rotation/locating correct... 😉

[@MattAspland]

Absolutely! Great optimisation tip!

[@sams_3d_stuff]

Hey Matt, thanks for the video. How do I go about making a AI pick something up and then maybe interact play with it. (eg: taking lego bricks from table and then arrange them in predefined shapes, house , bus etc). Some some hints to show me the way would be amazing!!!!!

[@MattAspland]

Hey mate, I’d recommend probably looking into have an array of locations for the AI to go to. I.e. where to place each brick. So make the AI go to the table, then through the array going to each index.

[@sams_3d_stuff]

@@MattAspland Thanks!

[@virusocyrus]

Hey Matt I've been going through your tutorials and have made a lot since ive ran into your channel. Im having an issue. Im using third person template for climbing mechanics and everything works fine but but once i set up the camera to be in 1st person the whole mesh rotates off the ledge while still hanging on capsule-wise. Pls help ive been wanting to have first person parkour for a long time and think you'd be able to know how to do it. Itd be appreciated and help alot
