UE5 Character Locomotion Tutorial 1 | Accessing Movement Data

[@gmalexander722]

Superb job, logically organised and sequenced, delivered with precise enunciation. Good on you!

[@IAMTHEARMAGEDON]

Your thoroughness is greatly appreciated, the more we know the better.

[@OutcastDevSchool]

I'm glad to hear it. Thanks.

[@tuna1867]

Totally agree!

[@jeremyashcraft2053]

Thank you for your tutorial man! I'm so glad you take the time and effort to explain the concepts involved, rather than solely giving a set of step by step instructions.

[@The.Edgerunner]

agreed! this is what so many miss! its okay copying someone but you need to know why in this game..... its a game of whats whys whens and knowing what your doing and why is the most important thing to help it sink in!

[@HaselnussWaffel]

Omg, I LOVE your videos. So refreshing to see someone actually explain WHY things work the way they do, how things are connected etc. Usually I really dislike watching tutorials at this point (more like a necessary evil), because they are all carbon copies of each other and go like 'click this, now do this, click here, check this'... I never feel like I actually learn anything, unless I dig hours through the web and discord after watching. But your videos are something else. Stellar work. I just started following your locomotion tutorial series, but just out of interest: it's 20 videos long, is it completed in your mind? Thank you!

[@ZachOLantern]

This is an amazing tutorial. So many out there are just watching a person create a feature, and are carbon copies of other videos on the topic. This video series is the difference between watching someone perform a surgery and going to med school.

[@Pascalion16_10]

I am from Russia and I watch all these videos using neural network translation. An amazing way to present information. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@beachkiller738]

Me too. Thanks to the author for adding subtitles, their presence saves us time on translation

[@The.Edgerunner]

your the most detailed person on unreal! really learn alot from you, alot of content makers just show the "do this and this" i want to know why .... amazing work mate! best ive seen regarding unreal engine and only just found you on here! id love a detailed tutorial like this on the new game animation sample making it from fresh and adding weapons etc... i think that tutorial would be unreal! :P

[@Pantheon-dz9cr]

Solo diré que es lo mejor de lo mejor esta guía llego 1 año después y sigue siendo igual de buena, la veo con los subtítulos y es realmente buena porque tu audio es perfecto, eso junto con tu manera de explicar tan detalladamente, simplemente lo mejor.

[@hotcher2]

I tried to watch this series a few months ago but didn't have enough foundational unreal knowledge to follow. Coming back now after having built up a decent amount of knowledge, everything is crystal clear. Of course, it takes a great teacher which you've demonstrated you are. I too have a need to understand everything I'm doing because there will come a day where something goes wrong or needs to be updated and I'll be much better equipped. Thank you for putting this all together. I'm excited to watch the rest of series knowing I'll be learning so much and will have an excellent foundation for my characters.

[@kristerpresty8033]

This is really good!

[@riuthamus]

This is an amazing start to this series and has me hyped to watch them all! Thank you for your efforts and attention to detail!

[@OutcastDevSchool]

Thanks! I'm glad the video was helpful.

@@OutcastDevSchool The "TryGetPawnOwner.GetMovementComponent" is not valid / always failling at "Cast to CharacterMovementComponent" any help?

I like how you take your time to explain the basics, show why and how, speak slowly and articulate well, it is appreciable for non-english language native like me.👍

Great start!

Thanks. There will be plenty more to come.

Hey! Welcome Back!

[@OutcastDevSchool]

Thanks! I've missed making these videos, and I'm looking forward to uploading to the channel consistently for the foreseeable future.

[@SFsuperforte]

This is very dense but I really appreciate it, as it explains some of the underlying logic to UE which is very helpful

[@RictorScale]

This is so well explained wow. Thank you for explaining the system, and adding all these great detail's

[@frobrochannel]

Hello! you are simply the best, I am very glad that I found your channel

[@JaviC77]

A great series of video tutorials! Thank you very much! 😄

[@MrBlacksheep73]

Great work, young man. Much respect! Your understanding of this material is inspirational.

[@pasukitv3878]

I Love how explain exactly what you doing and why you doing it. Keep it Going.

[@moosehead13]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown of systems like OOP. Though I found myself distracted by the unsolved Rubik's cube. My OCD trying to solve it and having to rewind 5 sec after realizing I'm not paying attention. Will have to check out some of your other videos. With the release of 5.4 now out is Thread Safe still a more efficient pipeline than Motion Matching? Would be interesting to see motion matching use a thread safe anim bp. Would certainly help as the motion matching database grows. Hey got your 800th Like on this video gratz lol.

[@epsilon3569]

I"m following along in 5.5.1 and I realized at 14:16 that this no longer functions this way. What workaround could I use?

[@stavrosmelidonis817]

Hope the tutorial will give the necessary and then proceed on buying the asset. Let's go!

[@newberynovoa1630]

Awesome series thank you!, will you use Distance Matching with this locomotion system?

[@OutcastDevSchool]

Yes, I will be covering a full distance matching implementation for starts, stops, and pivots.

[@WeirdOne19142]

Outcast dev school has a new video!🎉

[@modz7014]

[@mrhunter8629]

nice explanation

[@ryand4814]

Excited to see more, this is great! will this be multiplayer ready?

[@OutcastDevSchool]

AnimBPs are not meant to be replicated, and are supposed to run client side. I'll be following best practices to ensure that the AnimBP doesn't run code that should be run on an authoritive server. I can go into more detail on replication later on in the series, but it isn't my strong-suit so I'll need to take some time to get myself up to speed on the subject before hand.

[@mostafaahmed9441]

Will you explain motion matching in this series?

[@OutcastDevSchool]

As soon as it's out of the experimental phase or at least somewhat stable, I'll cover it on the channel. Hopefully it will be stable in the next major version release.

[@mostafaahmed9441]

​@@OutcastDevSchoolok Thanks :)

[@BrianHuether]

Hi, trying to figure out if your series applies to my use case. I am trying to use UE for film production, not for games. I am trying to figure out best way to animate a character in a scene, and have camera following where the character is looking. It would be first person view. So picture a trail in the woods. Character walks, sometimes, stops, looks around. Etc. Typical real life sort of scenario. I don't need the character visible in the film, just his shadows. Any tips on how to animate in this fashion? Does your series cover this sort of use case? Thanks!

[@阳阳-798]

Hello, teacher, I would like to know you from the entry point to understand the principle?

[@GamerFollower]

I've completed this entire tutorial series but it makes my UE editor extremely unstable and crashing all the time, and I went back to rewatch this and it appears that this is creating a runaway loop

[@scottcourtney8878]

Great job with the video series! I have a couple of questions. First, since a Transform is a struct, why do you retrieve and store the Location and Rotation separately, with two property accesors, instead of retrieving the Transform, storing that, and then just breaking the struct to get the Location and Rotation. It would seem the slight memory overhead of the Scale (not likely to be anything other than default) would be offset by eliminating function call overhead, on a function that is called every animation tick -- but I am new to the threaded animation feature, so perhaps I'm looking at it wrong. Second, what was the reason for defining functions to retrieve and store each variable, rather than a single function to retrieve all the character data and store it, then just refer to the variables in the rest of the logic? Neither question is intended to disagree with your code; I'm here to learn, and understanding the reason for those choices is part of the process. Thanks!

[@zdroid5818]

Yo The Cast is Failing and i Realised My Animation BP Has _C added to it in Charachter why is that is that the prb?

[@LiviuCoclea]

did you fixed it? mine is failing as well :(

[@Pascalion16_10]

i cant get the " GetCharacterMovment " function to show up in the Property Assess , any advice?

[@w.ilia.m]

output in get char movement function must be named "ReturnValue"

[@mrb9002]

Hay Mate, i cant get the " GetCharacterMovment " function to show up in the Property Assess , any advice?

[@mrb9002]

Ok, so i had to rename it a few times save and restart, then it came up , don't know why

[@VoxelvisionDev]

@@mrb9002 Not Working For Me

[@Fangornmmc]

@@VoxelvisionDev I also had this problem. For me what worked was going into the GetCharacterMovement function and in the details panel set the function from "Public" to "Protected". If you don't know Object Oriented Programming and don't know what this does, your best bet is to set it to "Protected", see if it shows up, and if it does, change it back to "Public". If you do know Object Oriented Programming, you will know what Protected means (in short: code outside of the animation blueprint are no longer allowed to call the function GetCharacterMovement, but the animation blueprint itself and any classes that inherit from it *can* call the function). TBH I suspect there is some kind of bug in 5.3 where it doesn't update/refresh the list of functions you can see from "property access" correctly. So by changing from Public to Protected what I think is really happening is some kind of refresh is triggered under the hood that allows it to show up.

[@ZachOLantern]

@@Fangornmmc Yup, I ran into the same problem. It's still working this way in 5.41. I made a bug report, I'd suggest anyone else coming across this does as well.

[@UCrLTXQEiJDjsYNOiCyq]

Please give me an answer, does this system work for two players? And if I repeat everything the same way as the author, will it work for all players who join?

[@QuaidTseng]

It baffles me that if I name it "CharMoveComp" rather than "ReturnValue", it won't show up in the PropertyAccess drop-down....that's beyond my comprehension...

[@Swilzy]

Does this still make the basic movement animation to be replicated through multiplayer like it would by using the normal event graph ?

[@PikBo100]

i enabled Pure on GetCharacterMovement but i cant find it in Property Access Node ((

just a small recommendation, point your camera a little bit down and dont leave space on top of your head, thats the more comfortable composition to watch..
