Virtus Learning Hub / Creative Tutorials I know you don't have to do this but I would love to learn. 1. make a in game currency 2.have a in game shop in the main menu plus inventory. I think that's about it. but keep up the good work.

[@dfefee5841]

Mr Mice this is a tutorial for people to learn. I learn by mimicking. if I see how it's done once I can apply the same logic to other types of games.

[@dfefee5841]

Mr Mice ok. and when you learn anything you use the techniques that you got from a book, person, or other forms of learning.

[@lexmcdaniel1946]

I liked how the movement was after you jointed the follow cam to the player model. It was a bit rigid, but maybe with some adjustment, It could look, and more likely make the player feel like they're in the state of the game. Also, once again, another awesome series I'll be watching for the next few months! Thanks, Virtus.

Not sure if this was done for this purpose or not, but I really appreciate this project using the Third Person starter as well pack as it allows me to build this right on top of the Survival/Horror tutorial project. Hoping to make a basic zombie game by the end of it these! Appreciate all you've put out there Virtus!

[@rlab6566]

Thank you so much Virtus. I really appreciate the time you take to teach us small town folk this amazing stuff. I use unity C# but unreal boasts such impressive visuals and performance even on my low spec laptop. So consider me a humble and proud scholar of UE.

[@LazyDev27]

Such a wealth of information, def gonna follow your channel. I don't wanna make money from games, I just wanted to make one for me and my friends to play. A tailored made experience. This is perfect since while I might not know coding, I know animation, character scultping, scene modeling, lighting, the node system looks just like what 3D modeling software does! Perfect. I got tired of chasing around those "Make a video game" tutorials. Finally I found one that actually just gets down to it.

[@tbhunter5737]

A good professional practice for true first person cameras is after moving the camera to the correct position, go to the skeletal mesh of your character. If your character has a separate mesh for the head, create a transparent material and change the head material to transparent. This prevents camera issues that could arise for some people. This only applies for a character with separate head materials, which for high quality characters this tends to be possible.

Great stuff helped me. I followed your tutorial then I altered it by leaving the original camera and adding a new one to the head. With the [F] button flipping between those.

[@Jamen1970]

I've found attaching the camera to the Root, then moving it where you want is better, especially when animations are involved where the head is moving around too much.

[@Grimsikk]

How do I keep the player from looking through walls? The true first person camera doesn't want to collide properly, and when you get too close to a wall, you can see through the other side, and other players can see your gun clipping through the wall. How do I fix that?

[@Ackrill]

Had the same problem, i think the solution is go to CapsuleComponent, find "Shape -> Capsule Radius" and increase the number a little bit. Character collider will become bigger, and you will stop before walls, so camera will not clip.

[@r0guereaper33]

Not so bad of a tutorial very enjoyable. I was stuck on the rotation part but I resolved it quickly. I noticed before adding the yaw rotation the bobble head effect when moving. Assumed I did something wrong lol. So I added the yaw rotation and noticed it was gone. I assume because we didn't have yaw rotation the game tried to do up down left right all in one motion thus giving the bouncing around camera head view. Thanks for sharing I look forward to learning much more. This is the first time touching unreal engine and so far im enjoying it.

[@jeremyowen1]

How did you add the yaw rotation? I can't stand this shaky camera.
