*NEW* How to Use Motion Matching in Unreal Engine 5.4

[@habagun737]

Hello Gorka! You are my favourite tutor. Would you at least concider making tutorial on how to reuse motion matching and animations from GameAnimationSample project? Those animations are great but due to project complexity it is almost impossible for a beginner to work further with this epic's project without getting completely lost. I would love to see how to make basic locomotion system starting from scratch and just using migrated animations from GameAnimationSample project and all the basic settings like head movement aligned with the camera etc. Please concider because you are amazing and life saver

[@GorkaGames]

Hey thank you for the super thanks! I really appreciate it. Yes so I made a video on how to migrate the whole Motion Matching sample, including its animations, into any project. Are you looking more into using specific animations in your game not the whole thing?

[@habagun737]

@@GorkaGames I would love to see more in-depth aspects on how to actually not get lost while adding let's say enemies, new character, new anim states etc. This would be amazing and I'm sure many people would love to start with GameAnimationSample project but it's too complicated for beginner to understand.

[@My-Project-X]

​@@habagun737 And almost impossible to add to/and work on, afterward. Because it's a advanced set up. Which makes is hard for a beginner to understand anything

[@beyondcinema]

Dope! It's pretty cool, so is this a way to basically replace the old way of creating animation blueprints with state machines and all that? Would be great to see a more advanced "use case" example of this!

[@GorkaGames]

this will replace blendspaces and yeah some states. I mean you will still need states if you will have crouching, with weapon, and thing s like that, but it's way more dynamic!

[@IDeVaToX]

please could you go through the process of adding new poses to it also, like jumping, running jimp, jump to climb and so on ;) this seems to be hell of a lot easier than 5.3

[@halfhuman6807]

Great video, so glad I found you. Will you make a more advanced tutorial on motion matching with leaning, pivot turns, foot stops, jukes, spin moves, turn in places, etc? Cause, you know, motion matching is ofter associated with more smooth and natural, less responsive controls.

[@dawidziemba5069]

Did you figure out how to do the 3d trajectory with jumping / cimbing as they showed in unreal anim deep dive

[@GorkaGames]

not yet!! Hopefully when they release the sample pack!

[@jones7831]

​@@GorkaGames When will they release that any eta?

[@Giregg]

Amazing tutorial as always! Can you do one with weapons next? I think that would be extremely useful

[@张东东-q1t]

Thanks! What about jumps and falls ？

[@DimitryArsenev]

Yep. I cant see any logic here. In UE-4 motions or default UE-5 i see a logic - here a idle-walk-run blendspace, here a jumps or crouch states, here a layers for others animations. But here - only database with animations...

[@robinpage2730]

I guess all of that is hidden behind the motion matching node. To add the jump and fall animations, I guess you just add them to the database?

[@DARK-WORLD45]

YES !! FINALLY! ❤️

[@GorkaGames]

💪🔥

[@excellpepple]

id love to see a tutorial on extending the character trajectory component, and vaulting or climbing with motion matching

[@jamaalsineke2405]

Hey Gorka, will this plugin work with your own custom animations for walking? I want to use very stylised animations that I've created in blender

[@LeateqOfficial]

would be cool to see the same but with a new animation project they released

[@BreakingBugs]

Great tutorial! I would like to know the criteria of selecting the animations to put in the database. What would happen if you simply add all of them in? I assume there might be a performance impact. What would happen if you wanted to do motion matching for both running and climbing? Would you create a separate database for each type of movement?

[@jones7831]

I'd think we have to have multiple for more move types.

[@Sharky32]

Thank you so much bro you have helped me build most of my game with these videos keep making them man

[@JVdaxter]

Hey thanks a lot for the great tutorial :) I have a few bugs when implementing and I saw you have it too in your video : when "Use Controller Rotation Yaw" is selected, there is some glitches when turning. When I press two keys like up+right, the character starts to walk instead of running,. When I stop, he is a kind of "jumping" animation glitch (that you have in your video). How can I fix this ? Thanks a lot again !

[@Kurdischerjapaner]

Is Lyra blueprint important? For the Smooth matching Animations?

[@Hurricane31337]

Really cool, thank you for sharing this gem with us! 💎

[@rustymech7869]

nice tuorial. I feel it similar to the old blend space. what would be the advantage using motion matching?

[@carsandcameras6751]

this one does not work for me at all. when i try to migrate i get this error and i cant tell what the issue is. D:/UE_5.4/Engine/Content/ does not appear to be a game Content folder or a Plugin folder. The tool didn't found the associated uproject or uplugin file used to determine the unreal path of destination folder. Migrated content only work if placed in a Project or a Plugin Content folder. Select a Content folder.

[@rebekahj8662]

Does motion matching work with turn in place? Or holding an object like a weapon? If you fix dependencies will footsteps work?

[@gabytedream5528]

How to add new functions to this system, i mean like press E to greet (just play one animation) and after it ends, come back to normal motion matching. If i know how to do that i can add more things like enter car, throw grenade/spear etc.

[@Jebbles1]

I would not be surprised if Motion Matching locomotion became the default choice of movement systems in future engine versions, but I also don't expect it to be. I'm excited to see what more UE makes out of this.

[@LittleBlue42]

Diagonal movement? Mine only selects a forward or sideways animation and does not blend them to create a diagonal walk

[@IcarusTheEagle]

This is awesome! Could you make a tutorial on how to add sprinting using this same method if I press shift or something? and strafing left and right. or crouching

[@g-dojjo]

Easy and Clean! Thanks for tut. bro!

[@GorkaGames]

[@johndoe35717]

good tut but when you walk any direction inbetween forward backwards or side to side it glitches out and looks bad

[@slashlol3524]

Any idea how to make footstep sounds? i don't want to add notifies on so many animations

[@GiiyomCG]

Do you think it's possible to do this but inside a Lyra project? Or it's too different from what they use?

[@derallerechte4286]

is there any copyright to do the same thing what you did for example i publish a project and i have the same blue print for the motion matching

[@RandomGuyV8]

Really good feature and makes animation blueprint easier but I dont know how to make like if i want on like Left Ctrl or Shift to make it crouch or sprint and make it change animations to sprint or crouch animations.How do I do that? I mean how can it react to speed max cap and to keybind that i set to change from walk do crouch walk??

[@PikBo100]

this is for 4 direction locomotion, but when press to run Diagonal is looking bad, so how to make it 8 directional with Lyra animations?

Would be cool if you make a tutorial on how to implement this with weapons, adding aimoffsets, etc Thx for the tutorial!

[@armadyllan2351]

heres a question, can i put ability animations in this library also?

[@redkalupt_hd8231]

How can I have other animations at the same time, i.e. if I have a weapon and perform the animation with a weapon

[@DimitryArsenev]

And how i can add jumps here? I cant see any logic. In UE-4 or default UE-5 i see a logic - here a idle-walk-run blendspace, here a jumps or crouch states, here a layers for others animations. But here - only database with animations...

[@levexe]

i also get abp_itemanimlayerbase error how to fix this? i think it copied more than it supposed to from lyra

[@My-Project-X]

Hey guys I have tried to imp. that 500+ animations, to use them in the Motion matching system, (followed the tut), but for some reason, my character cant been seen in the scene before moving and its also not to been seen in the Character BP. (But everything seems to be working) Beside: I find the movement, a bit clunky. Any help here are welcome thanks 🙂

[@Darius1929]

Is this something that can be used in multiplayer? It looks neat, but to be honest, it doesnt look THAT MUCH better than what we can currently do with Blendspaces ( Advanced Locomotion System, for example looks pretty similar to this )

[@DireDungeonMaster]

Wow a functioning Motion Matching tutorial, thanks so much!!

[@jailtonbeleza]

Hello Friend, I have a problem, in this first video, I watched this video several times to see what is happening with my character, as he just slides through the scene without the animations, I have already reviewed what I did and I cannot find the error, I'm using version 5.4.4, please help me, I'm excited to continue. Thanks.

[@SanrakuGaming]

Can you make it for other animation such as combat

[@JanasZoro]

It is nice but if you go diagonal the character slides like there is not animation for that

[@JAMs6504]

I got everything set up but I can’t get the gun in my characters hands. I have a robot with a character with longer arms. Everything else including climbing and running works perfect.

[@ИгорьКретов]

The character freezes in one pose and flies without changing it without animations

[@Desmond-Dark]

Lol unbelievable. I watched another tutorial and I couldn't get it working. That tutorial is almost identical to yours with the exception that you are setting the trajectory component on update. I did that and it worked. Then I tried binding the trajectory variable THROUGH the character var I saved. That works too and you don't even have to save the movement or trajectory comp if you do it that way.

[@MinecraftMarket]

Are the mocap samples out?

[@victorlee3124]

Can use motion matching for mobile??? Bro

[@RMC_]

everything except walking works, it might be because I set my character max walk speed to 100 and it's too slow? anyway to change this? not max walk speed but the animation. I probably won't end up using this anyways because my fps almost halved after implementing this lol

[@JesseTheCatLover]

Great video for the most part but it's kind of bugged, you can't do a forward jog to the left, it only ever does a backwards jog in that direction. Probably due to the idle pose orientation being slightly to the right.

8:33 is there really no way than using CastTo in 2024? Does BPI not work? Cast is hard coupling the main charBP to use, which is "easy" in a tutorial example. But not easy for migrating or having different versions of charBP (different main BPs that cant be children of each other when theyre in different projects or snapshots of projects with DIFFERENT CastTo ___ names).

That is really simple? Cast to the base class Character -> Get Component of Class -> select Character Trajectory.
