UE5: Connecting 3rdPersonBlueprint" Variables to "ABP"

[@TheRoyalSkies]

For anyone curious about the reasoning behind this method: As a project scales up, game thread becomes increasingly tight on budget. Threadsafe update helps greatly with that on the animation department. While "Property Access" may look the same as regular gets, it is indeed threadsafe, and UE will automatically multi-thread get those values.

[@ECHSBACHS]

WOW, that is Fast!

[@jasonheilig5312]

So this is more efficient or safer than getting player ref

[@habbosuit17]

Do you have by any chance a tutorial on a energy wall or some kind, like Viper, Iso or Phoenix from Valorant?

[@pandalovercrumxoxo6637]

Would love to see how replication would be achieved for other blueprints

[@Ceryancı2]

Hello, I have a question. I added cloth physics for the cable connected to a probe in blender. How do I transfer this physics to unity?

[@therustedmonkie4787]

What's your viewpoint on using the new motion matching feature?

Like for you

[@fyc-cy]

lost you at 1.27, couldnt get the TPC BP on the property access

[@Radar_2576]

Please make Blender Character to Unreal 5 Manequin Workflow! You said you will do one 😔

[@Mcl_Blue]

It's coming, hold on tight!

[@zuchmiyoff4734]

Why is this better than saving a ref of the charBP in the ABP on construct/beginplay?

[@mise6969]

I'm wondering the same thing, since the animation blueprint is always referenced by the character, so why do this instead of casting on the construct/begin play? It wouldn't affect performance since, again, the anim BP is always referenced by the character

[@TheRoyalSkies]

From what I know it boils down to: As a project scales up, game thread becomes increasingly tight on budget. Threadsafe update helps greatly with that on the animation department. While "Property Access" may look the same as regular gets, it is indeed threadsafe, and UE will automatically multi-thread get those values. In regards to the 60 times a second usage, since I'm planning to set this up for a multiplayer experience, You kind of need it for location/rotation and we need to observe the change in certain states for crouch/uncrouch, and use "state changed" to modify some anim state behavior. Use case greatly varies between characters. Custom event's set method is kind of okay, if you are doing single player stuff. When things are more replicated each tick, you need to account for the variable to fail to update from custom events. And if you use too much "Reliable" replication, network traffic gets bogged down. Hope that clears things up, and I'll be talking about other methods in future videos -

[@mise6969]

That makes a lot of sense, thanks for taking your time to clarify this♥️

[@ValerianAndStuff]

Wait what What types of input systems are there in ue5?

[@DaDarkDragon]

2 that one and a better plugin based one (comes with the engine) called enhanced input

[@CRUMVIII]

Hmmm. Never seen it done this way before.

I usually like your videos a lot, but i have strong reservations against this one. Your code in ABP checks EVERY FRAME if the variable is changed in Player's BP. This is pointless waste of resources. I'd suggest to add Custom Event or Function to ABP, and trigger it when player presses button. No need to check state of the variable 60 times a second.

[@thespacedan.]

isn't that how epic also has it in the templates?

[@JanHarcarik]

@@thespacedan. It's possible, i haven't look at the templates in a looong time. On its own, one variable is not that big of a deal, but it is a really bad practice. Consider this: How many times per second can player press and release a button? Add a transition state in animation to it, and you get 2-3x times per second max. Not 30 or 60. If you make a Function or Custom event that can be triggered in ABP, and do so on player's input, you get much more performance friendly code that can be scaled up easily.

[@nikoheino3927]

​@@JanHarcarik any idea how to get an object reference for the event?

[@amRHA]

if anyone u can and best of all your answer is something a noob or pro can understan and use and doesnt loose 2-4h of ui interface buttons and walk cycle animation here it goes is it posible to render editor gameplay replay? but purest pure replay of the shit i see and hear and happens inside while playing in my viewport and later watching in sequencer what i mean is play the game ON press takeshitRecorder-ON in that gameplay and u heave ALS charachter player(not base) CHECK and he(u youself as charachter player) use a gun BAM lets say u shoot somethin BAM u render .. .. ..u curse .. UE ..(damn it can be a song..) what will happen is i dont want to add a gun later in some yet another menu so called animation and constrain the same gun and add muzzle aggain set the sound in sequencer and npc animations shit couse its done via gameplay allready done the animation

[@ViralUnrealEngine]

One of the worst ways I've ever seen. In ABP-Manny there is the default character variable, you just need to set it to third person character and change the Cast to character with Cast to third person in the event graph.
