Moustafa is one of the very few who teaches you the best practices for everything he instructs; even though it's an animation tutorial, he keeps teaching you how to code efficiently. Thank you.

[@PixelHelmet]

Really nice words Snappy, I appreciate it a lot.

[@KrestenGiese]

Massive respect for not only showing the animation portion, but going above and beyond and showing the input system from scratch as well. Great job!

[@entertainmentvideos2567]

Best teaching tutorial video, every time he describes so good and dosen’t talk fast.

[@PixelHelmet]

Thank you so much for the nice words Noor.

[@sarahalmarsumi-nd7gp]

Thank you for teaching us this, it’s cool to see how the characters movements turn out in the end!

[@PixelHelmet]

Thank you very much Sarah!

[@AhmadNafa]

I simply love your video style, truly refreshing and creative.

Thank you very much for the motivating words, Navid.

[@Konzhyq]

Hello! Great video there, thank you kindly for the tutorial! BTW, 14:35, I have a problem with integrating Enhanced input local player system, the error says "bp_player object is not compatible with player controller object reference", could you help please? I am new to UE so please let me know how to fix it. Thank you!

[@bastienola]

Amazing tutorial ! Works perfectly. Thanks. Now gotta add jumping and toggle walk/run.

[@ミミン-q1k]

Thank you for the educational content! Really enjoy both your course and KZbin videos!

[@PixelHelmet]

I'm glad you're enjoying the content. I'll make sure to keep releasing!

[@PumpNFI]

Thank you so much for this educational video, I learned so much.

That's great to hear Dawieh!

[@noorn.1981]

Thank you for the simple explanation 😊

[@PixelHelmet]

Thhank you very much Noor!

[@Fadiabuzant]

Simple as it must. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@EliasHookttytfgftg]

This literally could not have come at a better time. I was just starting to work on some movement, I appreciate it :D

[@PixelHelmet]

Great to hear, thanks :D

[@Seahuper]

Thank you! Was really helpful!

[@PixelHelmet]

Good to hear Seahuper!

[@bigtimmothy7795]

any idea how to have WASD movement with an Isometric camera?

[@sabahsurgeon-jt8bq]

Thanks for this useful way to explain 👍👍

[@PixelHelmet]

Thank you very much and glad to hear you found it useful!

[@MotuDaaduBhai]

Aah..nice tutorial. I am also using the same model but for animation project.

[@TheIornGerm]

tried this on a 3rdperson template, so didnt work however i can tell it would have had i used a regular map, great tutorial thanks much friend

[@PikBo100]

what if i dont have diagonal animations? how can i rotate my character to move to diagonal direction?

[@JuJutsuInfinityMc]

where did u get the animations ?

[@JakePlayableDev]

Can we use the animations in our projects? 😃

[@waltarron]

This is great, but why the arms stay like that? does the animations mainly focus on the legs?

[@PixelHelmet]

That’s just how the animator designed the animations I’m using. They are not the best.

[@dinanafea2016]

keep going on that way

[@PixelHelmet]

Thanks Dina!

[@HappyTal3s]

Is there a way of getting foot IK to work with the Blendspace? I got it to work but I have to turn off IK to make the legs move. It works perfect without it.

[@BoiBobbyBo]

I have a slight issue, when I am moving back left or back left I occasionally see some twitching happening. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how to fix this. Any help is appreciated

[@jayhop960]

my character spawned in walking right about 500m below the map and changes as i go but its messed up i followeed everythign

[@sonarthecat17]

Hi there! Great tutorial. Ive actually followed something similar to this before but instead for an Player character, I did it for a NPC. However, the trouble im running into is the last part for telling the AI to use the blend space correctly. right now it looks like its only using the forward animation even though I made 8 way direction animations for it, same as for your character here. And i cant seem to find information online to help with this issue.

[@cyork-sy1wr]

How would you make the work for an aim at mouse game with a fixed camera?

[@cyork-sy1wr]

The Blends are in the appropriate position but only when aiming north

[@Judy_spidey]

Amazing tutorial but how can I make it jump?

[@jakejuan-ue4pg]

How about if I want to make my character face towards the camera when I press S on the keyboard like moving backward?

[@PixelHelmet]

Hi Jake, the movement you are referring to is done here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaqzZWagoa51i8U I hope it helps.

[@jakejuan-ue4pg]

@@PixelHelmet yes I saw this thank you, but what I meant is that how about if I want the character facing toward us .

[@Yggdrasil777]

Here's a tip: You can click Snap to Grid, then you won't have to hold Shift while dragging animations into the Blendspace.

[@PixelHelmet]

That works too

[@jiggyspice6809]

My character is just spinning around, I followed everything exactly as you did it 😅😅

[@muhammadwaseem1776]

Hello Bro, how are you? Could you please make a video regarding animations? where you get free animations, how to create your own aninations etc. ?

[@anyvideoseveryone438]

How to character rotate camera rotation? i want to forward go camera rotation direction. Pls teach me. sorry for bad English.

[@PixelHelmet]

Hi, you can do this by adding an input action with the key “Mouse X/Y” where you have both the X and Y axis. Then change the input action type to Axis 2D. Then in the player, use the functions “Add Controller Yaw” for the X and “Add Controller Pitch” for the Y. I’ll create a tutorial on it very soon.

[@anyvideoseveryone438]

Ty. I will wait this tutorial.

[@ltskurge6928]

@@PixelHelmet did u ever get around to making this tutorial?

[@LOL1423derp92]

is this only for top down? you cant move the camera right?

[@PixelHelmet]

Hi Avatar, this is for top-down only but the process is almost the same if you want a first person game. What is it that you are looking for?

[@LOL1423derp92]

@@PixelHelmet third person

[@PixelHelmet]

​@@LOL1423derp92 This video is for third person. You can move the camera as well but I didn't move it in the video. For moving the camera: 1. Make a new Action Input, and go in there and change the Variable type to Axis 2D 2. Go to the Player blueprint and add the Action Input as an event, just like what we did with the movement in the video. 3. Use the function called Add Controller Yaw and plug in the X value from the event into the Scale value. Works :)

[@Kosmos405]

How to make if i go right he turn to right and walk to right side same left and back?

[@PixelHelmet]

In the character blueprint, click on the character movement component. In there you need to find a checkbox saying “orient rotation to movement”. I believe it’s at the bottom at the rotation settings. You can watch my other video for more help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eaqzZWagoa51i8U

[@Kosmos405]

@@PixelHelmet Thanks alot :) It would be nice to add a mouse. In top / down I get an error with the mouse + generally it would be useful. Is there a chance that you will make a tutorial, path finder on grid map + how make grid map?

[@PixelHelmet]

@@Kosmos405 Great suggestion. I’ve written it down and I’ll make a tutorial on it when I reach the subject :]

[@Kosmos405]

@@PixelHelmet Trying learn how make stylized water and will try make bigger / better map this was test kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmKxlniDhLpnaLs&ab_channel=Pawe%C5%82Szekalski so question is should i learn first how make grid map or can just later put on already existing map? I'm kinda scared that elements like buildings roads etc wont fit to the grids.

[@PixelHelmet]

@@Kosmos405 it’s better to make the grid first so you know the size of the 3D models that you place into your map.

Where have you been all my life?

[@Sebastian-k3e7u]

Where source file s?

[@PixelHelmet]

Hi, there are no source files for this video. Just downloaded some Marketplace items.

[@Skeltcher]

Not working on 5.2.

[@PixelHelmet]

It is working. Same method, nothing changed.

[@Skeltcher]

@@PixelHelmet When I changed the mapping context exactly how you did, W and S doesnt work, only D and A but it makes the character move forward and backward, also when moving backward it rotates facing the direction, instead of literally moving backwards.

[@Skeltcher]

@@PixelHelmet Tried again in a clean new project, same result as before... Not working like in your video. Btw can you do this 8 way movement while rotating the camera? Cause you don't rotate it in your video...

[@leonlysak4927]

followed instructions to the T and my character moves in circles. Using 5.1.1

[@GWCEE2023]

Under the character blueprint, click the character movement component, then find Orient rotation to movement, uncheck that box. That is what fixed mine.

[@leonlysak4927]

@@GWCEE2023 yep that did it thanks!
