@@krz9000 would be pretty great but think of how many extra anim assets would be added for all the holsters and in a MMO it could really drop the FPS, purely doing things with IK will lower the computing cost drastically. But for a single player definitely agree with you.

Super cool project! Regarding the rifle animations, I think it would be cool to limit the rotation to 90 degrees instead of current 180. For example when you have the rifle on the right side, aiming to the right currently looks kinda unnatural. What you could do is add an automatic shoulder swap when rotation passes certain threshold. That would make the animation look more natural and dynamic. But of course, there's a bunch of ways to improve everything and not enough time :)

I usually just use a system that loads any necessary weapon animations asynchrously when equipping, before applying the animations to a weapon state machine in the player abp. Works pretty well, can also load an aimoffset to use modularly, the engine handles that all pretty well :P

[@Crossfar]

@@O_Obsidious that's a very valid approach too and tested and proven... Reason I did things this way is lowering the amount of data required to be cached, and also the fact that choice of weapons and holster placement is given to players in my project ( which creates the need for hundreds of animations if using keyframing) so I needed to come up with a system that can handle every situation without any prefab animations.

Hi Crossfar, awesome project. I have a quesion regarding GASP. I have yet to see someone using Motion Maching with theur own custom anim until today. How would I setup a stylized walk cycle and get Motion matching to work asfluidly as with the sample project?

[@Crossfar]

Hi , very good question. its not as complicated and scary as it looks like, the reason most people just use the GASP is that creating costume animations is time consuming perhaps. I would break it down to multiple steps as follows in the next comment.

[@Crossfar]

step 1: create all animations for every state in your walking and running cycle of motions. you would have to include all the transitions as well, a good way to know what is needed is to perhaps take a look at the list of animations in GASP. since it has a very diverse range of all the possible turns and motions that are easy to miss.

[@Crossfar]

step 2: create the chooser tables, which are the data bases of all your motions. which is the tricky part perhaps. this is where you need to set up your variables that will decide how to filter the database and select the right animation for the moment being.

[@Crossfar]

step 3 , come up with your states. for example crouched walking, standing running , standing walking etc...

[@Crossfar]

step 4, make sure that your variables on the chooser are set properly, and conditions also , otherwise the results can get messy. as the table needs to always pick on outcome at a time. or at least be very good at narrowing down to specific animations.

[@Crossfar]

it certainly can... but you would have to create the first person view yourself as I'm not planning on adding the FPS view. aside from that certain concepts are different when designing the controls and gameplay for FPS vs TPS, and this is built to be a full TPS experience, but for the most part, yes you can apply the same concepts to your FPS projects. but it would require you to make adjustments for sure , so in short, answer is "YES but not right out of the box"

C++ and blueprint are not too far in performance nowadays as opposed to the beginning of UE4. to think of it every BP node is a C++ CODE SNIPPET itself. so in order to keep the workflow fast and scalable it is worth sticking to blueprint nowadays. But that's just my preference, using CPP only for costume nodes and plugins, using BP for the overall gameplay since it can get large and detailed. I really really appreciate sharing the thoughts like this, please consider to do reach out on discord, would like to meet you for sure.

Is this expensive towards perf.

[@Crossfar]

@@shmorgiborgi9519 as a matter of fact it's far less expensive towards performance than key framed animations. Nearly 100 times less expensive

[@Crossfar]

@@shmorgiborgi9519 imagine how many actual 3 seconds animations were needed to do all those holsterings, now it's replaced by 2 vector variables and a rotator. Instead of hundreds of key frames per each bone, each having a rotator and a location and a scale ... So way way more optimized approach to use procedural animations

[@Crossfar]

@@shmorgiborgi9519 downside is it won't be as detailed as a keyframed animation. But as you can see we are one month in development and already getting pretty close to a lifelike result. And it will only get better and better

[@beesechurger1]

I feel like there should be some more recoil when the character shoots the gun

[@Crossfar]

@@beesechurger1 recoil is also adjustable with a variable in this project.

[@beesechurger1]

@@Crossfaryeah probably very easy to adjust, the only other issue i saw was the arm glitching to the side while wall running and climbing, great work tho 😮

[@Crossfar]

@@beesechurger1 that one is not easy to adjust and I'm working on it to completely remove the glitchy arm issues

Very impressive but at the same time this is not that special nowadays it’s what you do with the gameplay or how unique you make your systems, because as of now this looks like the same movement system in lethal company or dying light. This would have been revolutionary a couple years ago but this stuff is starting to be built into game engines at this point.

[@Crossfar]

@@JustRallax yeah I'm sure you can make all the mechanics on your own as well. Nothing too crazy about it buddy ... 😉

[@JustRallax]

⁠@@CrossfarI already have, you did not invent anything in this video. I said it was impressive because of the amount of outputs u have incorporated.

[@Crossfar]

​@@JustRallax words are cheap bro, at least share videos of your work first. but yeah if your project is just able to do GASP in multiplayer, thats just GASP 5.5 dude. when you made all the IK based drawing on each hand seperately, made it universal for every type of holster people can add to character, created a metahuman character customization system , added all the interactions we have, made it all work in multiplayer too , and also made it possible to draw different types of weapons in each hand , and made and designed an inventory system that wont require pressing more than 2 buttons to access all your items , and gave the player control over each hand seperately... then I'll be impressed ... :D just saying I can do that, any 5 year old can claim he's god himself ... plus I don't claim to be anything special my brother , everyone can do all I did given they know how to code for real.

It feels very clunky to me, I prefer to create a character controller and the animations just work as a visual representation of the controller state, although sometimes it's much more complex.

[@Crossfar]

well no one can deny the old school methods are still applicable and perfectly good too... motion matching is definitely the next big thing as opposed to state machines that's all... and clunky parts with the IK jitters are fixable , and I figured how to make it less clunky by making IK paths more reliable , which is what I'm doing next...

You are not testing with network lag enabled......the replication will most probably break as soon as there is network lag and packet loss......you can't do replicated movement in blueprints you need to either do it through a custom character movement component or through the gameplay ability system.

[@Crossfar]

yes , or... does it!? :D

[@Crossfar]

if done proper , you can do replicated movement with blueprint. just have to know your replication A,B,Cs down to its details. and yes I know there's a 20$ plugin that handles movement and fixes it the easier way... but I prefer to do things my way...

[@pranjalbhattacharjee5601]

@@Crossfar No the engine doesn't have the ability to handle replicated movement in blueprints just test it yourself.....enable network emulation and set network lag to 500 ms and set packet loss to 10%. You will start playing your montages twice per input but if you do it through the character movement component it will continue to work smoothly with the same settings

[@Crossfar]

​@@pranjalbhattacharjee5601 ok firstly thanks for bringing it up, it was a good idea to test. I just did some tests and here's my report of it... everything actually works with 300-500ms ping, and 10% packet loss, except the fact that latency that high is an unplayable experience when inputs are lagged out way too much , there's just no way to enjoy it , but as far as animations and IK goes I designed it to work regardless of ping and turns out it does. 50-150ms ping even with a 5% or 10% packet loss , is a very smooth experience which is the average global ping.(with a higher packet loss than average) under 300ms I would still call pretty playable... although not ideal. but over 300 is just too slow for winning any games as you would be nearly 1 second behind of your input... that's the ping no one can fix except Jesus... but yeah I've seen much worst AAA games. thanks for bringing it up again, it was a great idea to take some tests.

[@pranjalbhattacharjee5601]

@@Crossfar yeah but while testing it's a good idea to test with extreme conditions.....I thought sprinting and traversal would break but if it's working then it's great I don't know how though. For all client projects I had to use the character movement component because it has network prediction and combined moves and stuff....but if it's working for you maybe do a tutorial ??
