Unreal Engine 4 - Flexible Combat System Tutorial (Marketplace Asset)

This system is amazing! I now have my custom player character setup with custom animations and it works brilliantly.

Love to hear that mark keep me posted on how you're getting on!

Any chance to get a Magic System includet or to add any one ? this are the 2 most missing points. also i miss things like climb or swim, any chance to add this ? and if yes, how ? ( i am new to unreal, i coming from unity, there i can programm this myself, here are always "blueprints" around, that are 10 times more complicatet and shit, than to use code, but C++ do not really work with unreal, maddest thing on this engine :( ) any help possible with this ?

Absolutely amazing pack. The documentation in the blueprints is amazing. Seriously looking forward to more of your work tutorials and all the other knowledge you have to share!

Thanks so much mzone! Was a huge amount of work it honestly almost killed me off😂 Really nice that you can see the work put into it thanks 🙂

[@rishikeshchatterjee1123]

Just got the FCS-Basic today and I'm absolutely looking forward to understand it. I've taken the decision to implement just a simple combat system in my Indie Project as it's not the core of my project , And with what's already done in this pack , it's absolutely astonishing that you've curated such a pack for this affordable price. Thanks in advance ..

[@xweert711]

You are by far the best tutorial channel i've seen on here. Absolutely phenomenal work, friend.

[@Beardgames]

Thanks so much xweert! Replied to your other comment about the system by the way🙂

[@Iamookek]

Great asset. As Beard says, you can learn to do all of these systems from him and others and I suggest you do, before buying anything like this so you know how it all works. For those that know these systems and how they're made this asset is a fantastic foundation to build upon. Looking forward to your archery and magic systems to compliment this - you've already got my money.. oh and the network replication.

[@Beardgames]

Thanks so much for the wise and positive words moulder I really appreciate it amigo :) I'm currently working on a deadline I've got coming up but will do my best to get the add-ons for it as soon as possible! Thanks again!!

[@codyschulte9649]

Hello there you beautiful soul, I'm still working on the Basic System even though I'm using the current version of UE5, I got all the Animations remapped to a new Skeleton, however when I hit play with the new BP of the skeleton none of your beautiful logic functions at all, even though I selected the new Character BP in the GameModee (no HUD, no targeting, attacking, picking up weapons ect) I'm new to all this and this project has already taught me so much, I'd appreciate any help you could possibly provide me! Thank you though for just this immaculate production, can't wait till I can afford the new version! Edit: so I kind of fixed the issue in a way I felt was incredibly inefficient, but I needed to make a new BP for the character that had a different skeleton, and went through and changed all the reference nodes to the name of the new BP of the character, but it works I was just wondering if there was a better way lol, but still very beautiful and easy to follow code!! 👍

[@tjjames8414]

This is so intuitive I've followed your tutorials for a while now and they are by far the easiest to implement. However I'm having trouble switching the character mesh over to a metahuman. I have the face and hair grooms working but can't get the torso, legs and feet to replace the existing mesh. Any advice? Thanks!

[@michaelderosier3505]

Two questions Team Beard. First, what is name you use for Discord. The link does not connect the user. Second, how do you assign a fighting style to your main character; I understand the process for the AI. However, assigning to the main character is not intuitive for a beginner.

[@ОлегЕфимчук-с1в]

Thanks for the interesting and helpful video! How to implement the mechanics of the combat system from the game Darksiders III = Spikes of Contempt (Interested in the undulating movement of the whip). or Devil May Cry 2013 = Dante's whip, or god of war III = Blades of Chaos? I guess what can be implemented through: a guide curve Unreal Engine 4 Blueprint - Spline Spline?

[@billysatkowski6938]

I'm finding that retargeting to ue5 mannequin/meta human is not easy to follow in this tutorial. Can u remake this video to be current? I have converted animations to my character. But now what? I'm about to go through everything you made to switch over the animations to current character. But I'm going to nuts figuring it out. 🤪

[@sahinerdem5496]

i tried once free given basic asset. The issue is any montages are not variabled. if u'd variable all then mesh replacement for other types of custom skeletons would be easier for us. IK retargeting for montages also is easy. Regards.

Hello, how are you, a very good piece of asset. When you change the sword draw animation and press the T key, the draw animation is done but the walk run motion animation stops. Why would this happen?

[@HIGHWIRE554]

Hey I love the system presentation and the way you broke it down and I'm planning on buying it soon. But I have a quick question is there a way that you could store the retrieved weapons in an inventory system so that the player don't have to constantly go back to where the weapon is to switch it.

[@Beardgames]

Thanks so much man I put a lot of effort of trying to make it as simple as possible! So yeah it's actually really easy and it's something I'd like to add to the system in the future. If you go to my section on saving the game you can see there is an equipment struct. This is where the weapons are stored when saving the game. You'd use this same struct but in the player BP as an inventory. Then you can simply spawn them onto the character the same way the weapons are stored and loaded onto the character when a level opens, see the "spawn equipment" event. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll do my best to help out :)

[@CoolMachination]

This is really good. Thank you

[@Yggdrasil777]

Nice looking system, I am thinking about going ahead and buying the system. Just curious about something. Why do you make two different weapons for the AI and the player? Why not have just the one weapon and the weapon give the information to the owner of the weapon? I can make the AI look for and pick up the weapon.

[@Beardgames]

Hey Jay! So at the time of making the system I wanted the AI weapons to have slightly different behaviour but these can be easily combined. In my upgraded new system I have combined the weapons, might be worth checking that one out before purchasing this one 🙂

[@cluelesscastelino150]

can u show us a way to add a counter attack to this system?

I'm enjoying using and learning how this combat system works! I've ran into a problem where that I'm trying to implement a turn in place animation to the Ai and I feel like it should be easier to do than how I am trying to implement it, any suggestions?

[@AL3XG8]

also a way to use root motion attacks that turn your character to the ai between each attack in the combo, so that you're not completely moving, but also not attacking off to the side and missing in mid combo if the AI moves or gets pushed out of the way due to animation?

[@Beardgames]

Hmm, I think turn in place animations are fairly simple but I've never actually dabbled in them myself Alex so I can't be of much help. It would be no problem adding to the Asset though once you learned how to implement it. In terms of root motion the animation will be driving all the collision and I'm unsure of anyway to change any of the movement mid animation. You could try lerping the capsule over to the enemy mid animation but I've not got much faith in that haha. My best suggestion is to try lock onto a target, play your root motion animation and see how it responds. Good luck A :)
