UE5 Character Locomotion Tutorial 6 | Animation layer Interfaces

[@Shizuma450]

Woah... Layers, anim blueprint interface... they were an absolute mystery to me, the first time I looked at ALS or even Lyra I didn't understand ABP at all, now I feel that with your tutorial it's going to become accessible, I really like this way of doing things, it's really flexible and modular! It's methodical, organized, tidy and very clear. Thank you for this quality video, it really helps me with my project, it's great sincerely! (I can't wait to see the next video!)

[@DimitriLabadin]

You can't imagine how much you helped me, because anim layers is one of the most obscure topic to understand for me in Unreal Engine. This series is definitely making the world a better place by allowing devs to bump up the quality of their projects. Thanks!

Ok Team: For those having an issue where it seems like the Property Access node isn't retrieving any values. TLDR: the ABP Base reference variable you set via casting it hasn't been run, so when the Property Access Runs it doesn't retrieve a value from the characters MainAnimBP, just a random initialized instance. Solution: In the Anim Layer Event Graph, take the logic made in GetMainAnimBP and run it in the event graph when it is initialized. Also: The Begin Play Node does not actually run in anim graphs for some reason, maybe it has different terminology

Damn this really unlocked a whole new level of stuff I can do now. Great video

[@CruelCrusader90]

hey i dunno if its that important to you but there's an app called "eye contact" that keeps your eyes locked on the camera, so you can read your script without it being obvious. some might not care but i just found ur vids and it immediately stood out to me. your vids seem to be very informative and i look forward to learning some of unreal engine from you, just wanted to share the info to help you and your channel as your helping others. 👍 keep the vids coming my dude, hope your channel takes off! 💪

Good job I like your video ❤

Great tutorial! very convenient organization of logic. but the question is how to interpolate between layers? How can you avoid teleportation? This approach is very scalable but has not yet solved the transition problem.

[@QuaidTseng]

9:07 what baffles me is that how GetOwningComponent:GetAnimInstance returns ABP_Base instead of ABP_LocomotionLayers. It seems to me a SMC can bind multiple AnimInstance and how do you ensure it will return ABP_Base but not other AnimBPs?

[@JAMbosco]

Hmm do you know how I could set dynamically a Random Sequence Player from the child? Thank you so much for this videos they are extremely helpful! Keep the good work

When you use animation layers and graphs is it just for organizing purpose or it has impact on the performance too?

[@OutcastDevSchool]

I haven't run any actual tests, but I believe that, depending on the configuration, using layers could aid in performance as there wouldn't ever be a single monolithic AnimBP loaded into memory, but rather a base blueprint with one or more linked layer blueprints being swapped in an out at runtime.

Love you broo. please don't stop this tutorial 🥰🥰🥰😘

Been following and learn a lot since video 1 in this series. However after finishing this one i'm conflicted if this is the method i should rely on. I realized that the animation that plays when switching to the walk state is not replicating/showing the walk animations you setup on another clients point of view. The other animations in the default jog state do, how come? What is the provided workflow to make sure your animations get replicated and automatically synced with this provided workflow? Thanks! :)

[@christiandacosta2576]

You need to replicate the gait update function and the gait variables in the character blueprint. Everything else will work after that. If you don't know how to replicate that, I recommend checking out some multiplayer replication tutorial, it will make sense after that.

[@andreassvensson811]

@@christiandacosta2576 I don't know, it's just weird, i have set it up to replicate. The thing that bugs me is that the walking direction animations work fine, perhaps because the information is extracted from the character movement component explicitly, so when animation switches for forward and backward animation there is no issue. But as soon as i use the enhanced input event to trigger the slow walk, those animations doesn't play, but the speed and stuffs replicate fine. It is just the animation that is responsible of toggling between jogging and walking that doesn't produce animation changes for other clients. is there any reason why backward and direction stuffs work server-side automatically but the slow walk doesn't? I mean, it is still the same movement mode and all isn't it?

here is giving error in update cycles: Sequence Player references an unknow Anim Sequence Base

[@hyunseungkim538]

Thanks for great tutorials! learn tons of details which I was not able to get from other tutorials! amazing job to share appreciations!! one question though, somehow, I had a problem encounter on this, "kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppSngKOPjaiEr7c" I was not able to get the anim instance from this somehow. Since this function has been used many on other following steps later, I am kinda stuck.. ( now I can not get the LeanTurn value later ) any idea, I might miss any critical steps? Thanks in advance!!
