I would like to have the prediction trajectory in my game but I don't use a character, it's just a BP_ball (primitive component) that receives an impulse, the "Predict Projectile path" doesn't work, how can I proceed ? thanks

you need to do this for all of them! thanks

[@pamparam3495]

thanks a lot!

[@Kiran.KillStreak]

Great tutorial,without touching target’s material,we re render that in current material is awesome technique,never saw in another videos

[@maameloic7656]

you are my favorite Unreal KZbinr by far. Love everything you created.

[@chopov11]

Bless your kind soul I have been wanting to make a shader like this for a long time

[@PuertaGiratoriaArgentina]

I cant believe that i found it, a lot of thanks you!

[@Zraune]

Thanks man, I appreciate it. Especially the splines are very useful

[@wildrelicproductions4879]

Omg this is exactly what I've been looking for. I've been trying to find a tutorial on this for months!!

[@gamble40k]

UnrealCG top tier as always.

[@proletarianx_art]

very straighpoint and professional tutorial, thank you! Insta subed to your channel after this video.

[@UnrealCG]

If the decal shows over your character mesh, Then you can turn off receive decal in your character blueprint mesh.

[@USAIsrUKEUVngrdBLRckOccupiedUA]

Thanks

[@adamodimattia]

If you have problems with cylinders aligning with the spline (like I did, but I was using my own BP character based on my C++ class, so that might have been the reason), then check the "Manual Attachment" inside "Add Spline Mesh Component" - I spent waaaay to much time trying to figure out what wasn't working with that. Other than that (well not "other" it was kinda my fault), fantastic tutorial overall, quality really difficult to find out there in the arcane territory of Unreal...

[@adamodimattia]

Amazing tutorial!!! Thank you!

[@Skanwalker]

Could you please share the static mesh SM_Path2 thank you !

Hello! great tutorial but are you able to make a video or release a hotfix to fix the input spam issue? i'm having trouble adding proper cooldowns to avoid spawm. Please and thank you!

[@Vakaseemer]

Dude, thank you very much!

[@ak-gi3eu]

Hey I m wondering how to do throw animation ,for example hitman throwing coin

[@NJoint]

I'm having this weird problem in which the spline is getting so many more points than the path. I printing both and despite my out path positions array always having a length of 39, in seems that the spline adds new 39 points per frame. The index doesn't seem to be doing anything

[@clemaxboy4816]

Thank you and nice work you do.

[@UnrealCG]

Much appreciated

[@davisdu4224]

Greate tutorial, thank you so much!

[@andresestevez2701]

me da gusto saber q los antiguos videos tiene subtitulo español

[@lmbits1047]

For some reason in UE5 you need to do the masking on the emissive instead of the opacity. No idea why it works like that now. I checked in 4.26 and it is indeed using the opacity in that version of Unreal. I guess it has to do with the way it blends now. You cannot select or change the blending mode anymore.

[@joaobrasil3689]

Can you explain more because I am having this problem. Thx!

[@joaobrasil3689]

The decal is projecting on the side of walls - unlike in the tutorial

[@lmbits1047]

@@joaobrasil3689 Just what I said on my comment do the masking part of the video on the emissive. If you still have issues after trying to understand that let me know and I will check my project.

[@joaobrasil3689]

@@lmbits1047 I did the masking there on the emissive but the decal still projects on the wall/vertical object

[@lmbits1047]

@@joaobrasil3689 what do you mean? Mine turns around to the normal and that's cool for me

[@ISDISNJH]

What if I wanted to have it set to use an actor in world as the end point projectile path from player to actor that is placed in world??

[@AboOmar200]

Thank you so much you are amazing person

[@lmbits1047]

Everything is top notch but the end bit where you discard the rings in between the spline points kills the performance not entirely sure if you realized about that. From 120 FPS to 0 if you keep holding for 30 seconds I mean in just a few seconds it deeps under 60. Without it it doesn't matter how long you hold the key before launching the missile. I am using a 3080 so you can imagine the kind of impact that bit is having. I would not recommend anyone using that small tweak.

[@DavidSales88]

amazing... Very Very amazing

[@luckycogstudios]

Have you updated the project files for this for UE5?

[@Silent_Chief]

I made one if you want

[@MoroDZGamer]

how we can made enemy Ai laucher like this ?

[@MarkoT14]

HI, cool tutorial. I have a problem with "Mouse Wheel Axis" can you explain the logic of setting up the node maybe make a screen Thanks!

[@mikeholmes3203]

mine never worked either, but I am trying to use his tutorial to make a rocket pod of 9 rockets to fire, i am WAY over my HEAD, like a few scrapers worth :)

[@scottlee38]

Very good!!

You should have more views/subs, your content is amazing

Great tutorial! I‘m new to ue4 and I really appreciate your videos :) I was wondering if you could give me a hint how to create a road building system similar to Cityskyliens?

Thanks!

Can you make a unreal 4 tutorial for how to make modifiable weapons like metro exodus?

you are the best....

Wowww thanks mann

[@elessarIT]

Inside the downloaded zip there are no Material for the mesh of path.

[@UnrealCG]

This is an unreal engine bug. When open in a newer version sometimes, can you contact me on patreon. So I can five you a never version

[@UnrealCG]

Also try update redirect reference and validate assets in folder option, by right clicking the the drop down folders on the left side of the content browser

[@elessarIT]

@@UnrealCG I tried but same results: there are Path_4 and M_p2 Inst color is blue..On patreon I cannot pay for subscription sorry... where can I contact you?

[@UnrealCG]

I am sorry I misunderstood you, I thought you meant the project files from pateron

[@UnrealCG]

I think you need to add the material then. When you import, the fbx and textures. Then make the material from the textures

[@joaobrasil3689]

Things have changed in Unreal 5 - can you update?

[@joaobrasil3689]

the decal is still projecting on the side of a wall for example rather than just the ground

[@joaobrasil3689]

Anybody made this multiplayer? I am struggling

[@bernardvaddo5926]

yoooo theres an ad every 1 minute its really annoying!! lol

[@UnrealCG]

I don't really add ad breaks, it's auto set my KZbin I think. I don't manually add them. I thought there were only like ad at start and maybe mid not sure if that has changed
