UE4 #6 Using Aim offset with Unreal Engine 4

[@ID345891]

Man, i only needed this tutorial and for some reason you managed to make it impossible to follow without watching your previous videos, i'm just gonna go see the unreal tutos..

[@ReubenAStern]

Thanks mate... you've done me a massive favor, uploading this. My character is starting to look like she's alive.

[@Jurasbatas]

Thank you for making these tutorial series, they're very helpful, especially for those who are quite new to the engine. Looking forward to next part :)

[@Anutim]

Really looking forward to your next tutorial, man. This has helped me sooo much!

[@DJL3G3ND]

I know this is five years old but I just want to say I got stuck for like half an hour with it not working because I didnt notice in the version Im using pitch and yaw are the other way around and thats hilarious

[@Si-Toecutter]

this comment saved my life

[@renatowanser171]

Everything was fine , thank you for these tutorials , please continue ahead

[@2fox989]

i found the solution thank you for this videos , instead of using character bp reference i used try get pawn owner, with bp i have errors probably becouse using default bp for character.

[@Metronomus73]

Great tutorial series, thank you very much! Looking forward to the next ones eagerly :-) Best regards,Oli

[@tehInternetify]

Can't wait for the next video ...

[@syedalamabbas2676]

Very helpful tutorials. Thank you very much.

[@AdeptusSteve]

very nice tut, learned quite a few new things, thanks!

[@PreetNagda]

Awesome tutorials ! Can you make a tutorial on firing the weapon ?? Waiting for that eagerly.

[@codiez5625]

Took me two goes before I realised that My yaw was pluged into my roll. Made for some interesting effects. Also Took me a couple of hours to work out WTF was happening to my guy after i loaded the gun whenever i walked forward I was going backward. (to help those out there) Open your RifleBP Change collision Presets to OverlapOwnlyPawn , I donno if this is the best way but it worked for me... ANYHOW Thanks Rakiz mad tutorials. I have watched them like 20 times each lol

[@TheMorbidsin]

+steven hurst Hey- wanted to say your comment helped out!!! Almost traded in my pc for a ps4 like the guys above - lol. Thanks!!!!

[@codiez5625]

+Tuan Tran awesome glad to help you mate, I lost some hair trying to work it out..:)

[@whereishayes]

Dude, i had the same problem. my character was going everywhere but no where i want :D Thanks made!

[@MaximilianMitchell]

Hey, how would you implement the turning animations into the rotation of the character?

[@steadystefano]

Nice tutorials, just want to ask if there will be a part for spawn projectiles? Many thanks

[@nadsonbrito12]

In my blueprint MyAimOfficeBlendSpace don't appear the option "Base Pose". Only the options "Yaw" and "Pitch". Please, how I resolve this problem?

[@miragegrc]

same here 4.15 engine version

[@harrielaversma554]

can you the UE4 AnimGraph Tutorial explane the nodes one by one i mean add them place them down in the video, i like the weapon on the back, if it is to big to explane can you share the project upload it somewhere so we can see how its made,and the tutorials are awesome please add more

[@zeeros1639]

Very nice just what i needed i'm not using (don't have AimOffsetBlendSpace) but transform(Modify)Bone got the job done, copy-paste messed up my pitch and yaw xD as in latest version of ue4 has changed order of roll/pitch/yaw

[@viralhighlights6588]

My "Try get Pawn Owner" cast to "Character" fails. "Try get Pawn Owner" returns None. If i click on "Skeleton" in the AnimationBlueprint my game crashes. How to fix this?

[@KaichenXiao]

My Character is moving weird after followed this tutorial...It is moving toward wrong direction and the camera is not at right position,any helps?

[@Nick-Nasti]

Great video! I'm having issues with the character not lifting his gun and his motion is jerky. However, he does turn and look as he should. It seems like maybe something to do with the bone used but I cannot find that setting in the animgraph. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@tobiasdannevik4055]

Hi Rakiz!! love your work.. Is the #7 coming soon? :)

[@TheDeadFriend]

I've set up the auto rotation part of character blueprint but the character never ended up using the aim offset to follow the camera. After setting up the aim offset graph what step do I need to do to apply the aim offset.

[@TheDeadFriend]

TheDeadFriend SOLVED! In the "Additive Settings" in the previous video I had set the base pose type to the corresponding animations CL = CL, CR = CR etc.. But I needed to set them all to use the base pose of CC. CL = CC, CR = CC etc.. thanks anyway

[@madben]

My character doesnt move his head on Pitch axis. he looks down and up but doesnt look left or right,

[@alexandersmith5464]

i solved but there so much you didnt mention ike how you have to use the delta time from the event beign animation and that you have to have use controller desired rotation

[@johnconor8698]

ok i fix the floating and gun but my gun is too small and my character still keeps looking down.

[@2fox989]

pls help rak, target is character bp but i dont have that also deltatimeX do i made just a variable float or is it something else?

[@SuperArt3D]

Hi, I am taking all your tutorial and you are a big one! You can get a tutorial which explains how creating a new button touch for mobile to match the act kind of shooting? Thank you very much scs pronunciation been Italian

[@NineHydras]

Is in Aim Offset Rotation never is true? My character won't rotate when he's turned all the way to the sides and he wont aim behind because of it, he get stuck forward

[@dennisbrittv8293]

If i strafe ie hold forward + direction all is well, but with direction only my character spazes out shaking left to right while moving. I suspect its something to do with aimoffset, I am using the Rifle ainimset pro. Also.... I dont have IsCombatMode but bCombatMode - Can someone advise or is more info needed? I also want to take the chance to thank the guy for doing this, although sad to see its not fully what was in the intro with squat etc but so far the furthest i have got in UE4 thanks to you. I realy hope you will pick this back up one day soon, you make a big difference to noobs like me!

[@Shalashaska-x5x]

Whenever i search for it i cant find Attach Actor to component plz Help?

[@jrfps]

if the camera moves up and down the player aim up and down?

[@God-ch8lq]

thank you, you solved my bug, u are a genius thanks

[@stachu_mishchenko]

​ Rakiz Farooq Hej , why don't you put auto rotating stuff in the AnimBP instead of Character Tick event? (tried to do this and for some reason, my character start jittering as hell lol, so probably that's why its going to CharacterBP) --- Update: Just fixed it while swapping delta rotator input A-B.

[@RakizFarooq]

AnimBP controls movement of the skeletal mesh. Auto-rotation is done by updating the capsule component which is not a part of the skeletal mesh. So it made more sense to handle it in the main BP. I would not read too much into where things are handled in this video. It is many years old and It's purpose was to get a basic understanding of what needs to be done to get things up and running. If you have a better organization for your code you should do that.

[@stachu_mishchenko]

@@RakizFarooq thanks! I've got the capsule component by casting from my character BP. Anyway, you made a great tutor, thank you!

[@kevinilejay2647]

Amazing tutorial! I encountered a problem when i attached a gun to my character, when i selected snap to target in attach actor to component, my character starts floating when i click play. i quite can't figure out what causes it.

[@RakizFarooq]

kevin ilejay maybe you have a blocking volume on the weapon that is colliding with the player's capsule.

[@kevinilejay2647]

Thanks!

[@Oni64]

thank you! would it be possible to make a camera angle similar to Socom 2 third person view? and avoid the over the shoulder close up?

[@RakizFarooq]

Oni64 yeah just move the camera boom upwards. In the blueprint components tab select the camera boom and set the Z value on the camera's Target Offset between 100-150. That should give you something very similar to what you are looking for.

[@TheAftershock1999]

i followed your tutorial, but i can't aim behind? how can i do?

[@RakizFarooq]

TheAftershock1999 The animations in the starter pack do not support aiming backwards. You'd need to find updated animations that have aiming at 180 degrees. Once you have those animations the process of the building the aimoffset is exactly at the same as shown in the video except your limits will be at 180 not 90 degrees. There is an example of that in the content samples project from Unreal.

[@88nightshadow]

when i did all the steps till u showed how to input the aimoffsets in the anim blurprint (up till 8:15) and when i press the combat mode he goes into a t-pose

[@Flammingking]

+Jose Lara i would create a second state machine just for combat mode and chache that and plug it in to base pose of aim offset

[@dannytwynham5143]

After attaching the weapon when I play now my character gets pushed around the map for some reason and the aim offset always starts facing at the floor...Ive done everything like you said but its not working. Im using version 4.7.5 would that be the problem?

[@RakizFarooq]

Danny Twynham Nope .. I've used 4.7.5 with these steps and had no issues. The character capsule and the rile is probably colliding. That would push the character around. Try recreating the rifle bp without collision. For the aimoffset make sure you properly set the base pose on animation individually.

[@dannytwynham5143]

Yeah I guessed it was the collision because I took the gun away and I wasnt getting pushed around but the aim offset was still off, I did it all right but Im gonna start it again just in case

[@TheDeadFriend]

Danny Twynham I had the same problem using a prototype rifle from the asset store. I had to go to the skeletal mesh file of the rifle and find the "physical asset" list and select clear. hope that helps

[@SuperMontana2008]

Thank you for the amazing tutorials Rakiz! I followed it all the way but when my character is in combat mode and I move the mouse/character right and left there seems to be some kind of delay. Kind like a lag. Up and down is fine. Any idea why??

[@RakizFarooq]

+Scott Bez That is not a bug, its a feature :) You probably did not set the 'Rinterp To' speed correctly. It is provides a smoother aiming motion. You can remove this feature by opening the AnimBlueprint and tweaking the RInterp To Node's Interp Speed. Higher is faster, lower is slower. I used 8 which I think gives a decent result. Or you can bypass the node entirely.. Connect the Delta Rotator to the Break Rot node infront of RInterp and that should give you instant results without any delay.

[@SuperMontana2008]

Thanks for answering my question very quickly Rakiz. I'm not sure this is part of your feature :), the lag/delay i'm experiencing happens like a snapping effect. i.e. as i move the mouse to the left or right the character in combat mode stays still until i move the mouse at least a few inches and then all of a sudden he begins to move his weapon etc. Unless Ive totally messed things up? i don't think i have because your tutorial was excellent put together.

[@fantingislette4201]

Hey ! Kind of old, but i'm actually observing the exact same thing (I think this is due to the aim offset going to his original offset + the actor rotation, then recalculating to offset back correctly to center). Have you found any solution ?

[@khris1977]

Thanks for this..but you made on part 1, your weapon attach from your back and you anime to equip weapon..Thanks

[@RakizFarooq]

Glennor Khris Ravelo I've decided the best way to help you is to let you figure it out for yourself. Already told you exactly what you need to do in your last comment and plenty of direction in this video too. Have fun :)

[@BarbaNeggra]

Thks for the tutorial!

[@posthumanvideogames9326]

Hello, I love your videos. They are very helpful. I am stuck on adding the weapon to the character. I can easily change from normal mode to combat mode and I can move forward and backwards easily but when I add the weapon to the blueprint so the character is holding the weapon in combat mode the character walks all messed up. Everytime I press "W" in combat mode, the character moves backwards and to the left. Also, when the character is not in combat mode and I try to just walk the movements are messed up as well. Do you know what I did wrong? Thank you :)

[@RakizFarooq]

+Post Human Video Games You need to remove collisions from the weapon.

[@stabbedbyapanda]

So the previous video was good, but any time someone makes a tutorial where they just show their codes always creates problems. I am forced to go find another aim off set video because of this, as for some reason my offset isnt working and i believe it's related to a checkbox in the char bp.

[@V-A-N-G-U-A-R-D]

I agree. I was expecting a step by step for this one. Everything from the past videos works beautifully until now.

[@vgx-shadow4932]

im having a problem with my blueprint node when i drag my pin and search Get Control Rotation its not showing up :/ would be good if i got a fast reply as its for a college project :)

[@RakizFarooq]

+BrokenTV That is not enough info to determine the issue. I'd suggest you look at the node title to see what object the node represents. Then you can decide if it makes sense to make call any particular methods or properties on that object.

[@vgx-shadow4932]

no thats fine i sorted it in the end its because i made a character and replaced the ue4 mannequin BP class with my character so it wasn't picking it up correctly but it works now also i love the tut its showed me alot but its not exactly begginer friendly because you just give us your results to copy you dont show us what nodes to use etc so it would be better if you made a tutorial for the same thing but explaining abit better :) anyway i have a problem with the same thing im doing the anim graph now but cant seem to find the nodes you are using :/ and the combat mode is that your own variable ? is there anything i have to do with it to make it work

[@vgx-shadow4932]

+BrokenTV i change my mind im getting the hang of it now sorry for that my apologies :)

[@vgx-shadow4932]

+BrokenTV hmm its happening to replace my default state machine but when i do that my character goes to tpose :/ probably wasn't the best tutorial for me to watch

[@ArtbyLordTV]

When I follow these steps, My character's movement gets very jerky and incorrect. Doesn't move where it is supposed to.

[@RakizFarooq]

***** make sure you do not have collisions enabled on the rifle bp.

[@ArtbyLordTV]

You're a genius! Thanks a ton

[@johnconor8698]

my character keeps floating off and keeps looking down any help?

[@TheMorbidsin]

+alexis ramirez comment above you (steven hurst) - Open your RifleBP Change collision Presets to OverlapOwnlyPawn

[@DdukbaegiMan]

where is the DeltaXAim came from? did you made one? before this video?

[@RakizFarooq]

***** Yes this is a series, the videos begin where the last one ends. To answer you question you are looking for DeltaTimeX value provided by "Event Blueprint Update Animation" node. I just saved a local copy in a variable called AnimDeltaX.

[@DdukbaegiMan]

Rakiz Farooq Thank you for your fast reply you helps me alotI won't forget your aid!

[@SuperArt3D]

please let a step by step guide can not so I stopped at 5 tutorial I'm a graphic not understand the blueprints

[@JoeHudsonSoundDesign]

+Rakiz Farooq Thanks for checking out my tuts Rakiz! I have enjoyed your tutorials very much also. Yes I do use Wwise a lot, I don’t really like FMOD too much though, a lot of indie devs use the sound engine right out of the box, but it depends on the project of course. Would you help me with a anim query related to the aim offset offline? I am having trouble getting my shoot montage to blend with my aim offset, Its probably really simple, but my character shoots forward still and doesnt follow the direction of the aim offset. I will of course return the favour if you need help with audio. J Thanks in advance

[@davidhuynh2560]

I created the AimOffsetBP from video 5, it looks good. Character looks appropriately with the mouse position. I don't have a weapon equipped(Collision is disabled). I toggle combat mode with a key press. When i enter combat mode, only the arms move, but they twisted and stretched. Nothing like it should.

[@davidhuynh2560]

+David Huynh (Magic Man) I used TPCharBP instead of AnimStarterBP. To get it to work for any character. In Video #5, the the part where everything is set to CC, substitute it for your character's default pose.

[@davidhuynh2560]

+David Huynh (Magic Man) For ThirdPersonCharacterBP, it default pose is ThirdPersonIdle, if anyone is wondering

[@loganwheeler3975]

gun doesn't follow camera movement anyone know a fix?

[@SabrielNix]

+Boarn Having the same issue :(

[@johnissa4369]

i made it to 5 and then after this videoo every time i turn i get my character to twist and spin, and like the character streches,

[@johnissa4369]

[@johnissa4369]

na i really traded my pc for a ps4, and to go an play games i see how to critique the issues of playability, destiny has such a lack of content, elder scrolls has such a expance of area but no action in the missions leveling is long and boring, i jus need to regroup, be able to invest some money into the project, i have a few games im sure could strive. and thanks for reply,

[@johnissa4369]

you have destiny? i only play like one month and have all 3 characters max, and complete all but the last 35 level, warframe was way better an it was free when the ps4 came out, but hell yeah imma get another pc if i have to sell or trade my ps4, i made my own mario for wii stages with reggie - rvlution.net/reggie/ cool to be able to play them on wii, or dolphin on pc, but like what happen to games like super mario world? be nice to get back into making games, sometime soon'age. o my psn is ATL2COOLCBT mostly waste time on destiny

[@johnissa4369]

i see, i have that, is it co op? but i mostly like how reasident evil the first one was, was as a puzzled mansion finding keys and items to use now its just become a shooter game, maah, how do the designers become regressive in creation, diablo 2 was awesome, but diablo 3 is nothing like it to me, well i guess its graphics over everything these days

[@xenoarchive4336]

thanks!

[@khris1977]

no more tutorial? :(

[@RakizFarooq]

Sorry guys .. I've been meaning too but have been super busy lately. Perhaps over the next weekend.

[@ardivaba4105]

Fucking hell...you make good tutorials and now you come with this shit? Skipping all the steps on "how" and just talking about your results? I'm usually not the one to flame in the comments but this is really getting me.

[@ardivaba4105]

Edit: Yeah i'm sorry for that rage. You did help me a ton!

[@johnconor8698]

oh and my gun won't show up.

[@johnconor8698]

BlacklistSpy yeah i fixed now. thanks

[@johnconor8698]

BlacklistSpy you bet.

[@johnconor8698]

fixed it

[@johnconor8698]

hey man slow down every time you make a video your far from where you left off that confuses people you know.

[@RakizFarooq]

alexis ramirez I have a separate project for the videos. I only update it when making a video.. Except for this video #6. The only difference here is that I did not build the nodes one by one. Would have taken too long. But otherwise the videos are all a continuation of each other.

[@johnconor8698]

Rakiz Farooq umm nah tooooo far

[@Mewbits]

+Rakiz Farooq Except you forgot to explain how to get the camera to work. it still just looks around the character while not effecting the aim offset at all.

[@Mewbits]

I figured out why it wasn't working. I was using a "RInterp to Constant" node rather than a "RInterp To" node.

[@galactisaurusrex191]

my auto rotate actor makes my character spin without stop and stops only when i look in a spesific direction. i used your build on it too so what is breaking here?
