Unreal Engine 5 - Easy Dynamic Vaulting Tutorial

Hey everyone! Today we're covering a simple vault system that can be used on a wide variety of heights and lengths and provide proper position using unreal engines Motion Warping plugin combined with a step trace.
In this video you will learn how to trace an object to get the height, depth and a landing location on the opposite side, but also some nice vector math tricks, how to use index values on a for loop to adjust line trace positions, and the base principles of motion warping - So lets dive in and get animated!!

I've been going so hard with UE5 since august and have watched just about every tutorial I can find. What I really appreciate with your work is that you are direct and your process is very clean. Separate functions for everything. Great work, thank you!

[@darkwolf780]

Found your video on accident gotta say its very straight forward and clean while not being complex and too long. You sir earned another Subscriber

[@ryanjdevlin87]

great video man this is gold, cant wait to check out ur component !

[@back2the90s8]

Really Awesome Tutorial! I think I will try implementing this in my current Project. Thanks

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

Very nice clean and clear tutorial but at this point I've seen so many covering the whole process but none of the tutorials I watched so far covers the creation of this mechanic within a component where everything happens, calling events. In components we cannot use timelines unless we buy a plugin for it but I know there is a way around which I personally find tricky though. I really wish somebody finally covers that kinda concept. Edit: I just finished watching the video and I heard music for my ears! I should always watch till the very end before commenting on the fly, my bad 😅... I'm definitely looking forwards to seeing how you're gonna make it work. Cheers!

Warp doesnt sound like a real word anymore. Awesome tutorial!!

[@michaelderosier3505]

Great information! You explain why you are doing it and how it works, when so many do not. Can you please break down the "Play Montage" node and all of its pins in another video. I cant find any good information on it. I look forward to your future posts.

bro where can i support you? u saved my life for ever

[@CTRLsway]

hey i have a vaulting animation but when i tick root motion the animation goes all weird, it was an animation i retargeted from the u4 mannequin

[@stinkycateatsshampoo]

where do i get the animation?

[@TheNedStark]

Hey man, great tutorial! I have an issue when my character tries to vault over an object that isn't perpendicular to the ground (i.e. the initial impact normal isn't 90). On slopes that face away it seems to work for the most part, but on slopes that face back towards the player, like the surface of a cliff/rock, the traces don't fire or they stop prematurely. This sometimes has the effect of warping the player back to a previous successful trace. Any ideas/thoughts?

Hey, found any fix on this?

[@redspy007]

So, when facing the side of a wall, it tries to vault into the middle of the wall. The depth line trace is hitting the wall through the side, is there any way to fix this that you know of?

[@jcoecksler]

Great video, thanks! Any idea why there's no variable to reference my character blueprint in the animation blueprint? I tried everything and nothing seems to make it work (casting, etc) Thank you

[@ArtofficialEntertainment]

You need to make the variable. Off event initialize animation, get a cast node to your character, on the input connect a "get owning actor" and the output pin pull off a set as a variable and then you will have the character reference

[@dadotoole7601]

Hi, how can I invoke "Motion Warping" if I am creating the scripts in a component called Ac_Parkour? Do I have to run them only in "Bp_ThirdPersonCharacter"?

[@ArtofficialEntertainment]

Motion Warping would just need to be added to the character bp, and send the trace locations to the character, and push them into the add or update warp target.

[@thegreenmind464]

Whenever I vault over an object, it vaults just fine, shows the trace, but once I land the character starts moving on its own. I can still controll it, but it just moves itself in one direction. Do you know why this would be?

[@slouchengames]

When I had that happen with my ledge climb system i just had to adjust the animation rate and the delay
