I had major issues picking up the items. how I eventually got it to work was adding either a cube or sphere collision component in BP_Weapons where you add the static mesh. Hope this saves some of you some time.

[@jamesdavis3242]

This definitely helped!

[@salem6505]

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you brother ❤❤❤

[@BradenNichols-w2j]

you just open the mesh of the item and add a simple box collision. find your sword, open it, add simple box collision

[@BowDrawn115]

You absolute genius!

[@BowDrawn115]

@@BradenNichols-w2j Didn't work for me unfortunately

[@DaggerOneMike]

If you downloaded a sword pack or brought your own in, make sure you double-click the original bp of the sword. In the top is collision, and then you can define its collision. Save it... I couldn't pick mine up till I did that. Just so you don't waste more time I used auto convex collision. A screen shows up in the right and click apply. It perfectly lined the sword up for collision.

[@katiekaliber]

I'm glad you're not taking the easy route perse and that you show us ways to work efficiently vs easy right now. Lots of tutorials do a good job in setting up a function but make it easier for us with less data organization and it becomes real messy after following a few of them, which in the end just makes everything more difficult tbh. So thank you for showing us the proper way of organizing, it helps a lot.

i really learned a lot of things from this series, Keep up the good work

[@GorkaGames]

thank you!

[@sebasddc9221]

Great tutorial!!!, I think it would be a good option to put an arrow as a child of the follow camera and change the angle of this arrow 15 degrees up and assign it instead to the follow camera so that in this way the sphere trace is generated from the player's position and not from the camera This way you avoid accidentally grabbing something that is behind you and not in front since it detects the first thing.

[@jamiegentertainment1415]

Thank you! Life Saver.. I was having problems accessing FollowCamera but doing this fixed that issue.

Hey Gorka I just wanted to say thanks for this Series its amazing I am completely new to game design and unreal engine and only gave it ago to help my 7 year old son who wants to get in to game development you make it very clear to follow along and I have learnt so much I cant wait to finish the course. Thanks

[@doomtwo87]

Thanks for video for unreal tutorial. By the way you may already know.I think Sphere Trace should be Start From owner(Character) actor location. If trace start from camera. It looks like trace player's backword.

[@PatsPhilippineRetirement-bc7zt]

I had troubles getting this to work at first though it was all my fault for mixing up the different variable types. I finally have it working now though - tip: Stick with the names he uses until you understand the whole thing, hard to get things mixed up that way. The only problem I have left seems to be something associated with the static mesh. I have items with a few meshes and some have no collisions at all, some collide but the destroy command doesn't do anything and lastly some work perfectly. I just have to figure out the differences.

[@PatsPhilippineRetirement-bc7zt]

Couldn't find any difference in the static meshes but thanks to tiziano629 I noticed "Trace complex" on the Sphere Trace node so I checked it and now all the static meshes I've tried work.

For me the problem was that I could not pick the items up even with Trace and system in place due to forgetting to switch from WordStatic to WordDynamic in Make Ray for the Spehre Trace for Objects. Hope it helps somebody.

I had an issue where the line trace for pickup didnt detect the sword, if anyone has that what fixed it for me was adding collision to the sword static mesh

Thanks so much

[@itsMBWAAA]

for object type in your sphere trace, did you have it set to Pawn?

What collision type did u add please

Maybe a bit late but i dont know why but when i pickup a weapon it dont appear in my hand, i own it but it doesnt appear like if the static mesh and my damage stats didnt want to update. I follow exactly the same step, please help bro

[@lets_frost]

Cool

[@GorkaGames]

thank you!

[@magegames6202]

the more repetition of breaking and splitting things the more its sticking very good tutorial series so far no problems why are we sphere tracing to pick up items instead of adding a collision and doing it on an overlap is there more benefit to making it run on lower devices this way ?

[@MistrePls]

I Have Question, I see you taking inspirations from Assassin's Creed Origins (whitch i think is one of best AC games after Ezio's trilogy) anyway Question is will you make climbing system like in Assasins Creed Games? Have a nice day !

That is the intention yes!!

[@azaelue5]

If you're going to cast to the player in each component, why make them in the first place ? You can access component variables and functions in the CharacterBP

[@ue5beginner248]

thanks a lots 🥇

[@GorkaGames]

my pleasure!

[@johnremp3470]

Youre doing a great thing with tutorials! And btw you are saying melee right! (May lay)

[@rremnar]

Wouldn't it be better, if you omitted the static mesh variable in your stuct blueprint, and just set it in the code? That way it doesn't need to persist in memory; unless doing this prevents stuttering when loading in?

[@tiziano629]

The sphere trace method to intercept object sometimes fails for me. E.g. using certain object (certain weapon meshes , in this case) nothing is hit unless Trace Complex is checked. That's a problem. Is there another method ? In Unity is better to check OnCollisionEnter , where the collision capsule, sphere, box, triggers an event (e.g. Pick Up un object or do something else) . Is there something like this in UE?

[@Skyrim973]

I cant pick up in some levels and other yes, I dont know why. Any way to use overlaping instead of those waits that cause so many bugs? Since the spheres go to heaven, it's not that I can't catch it but that the spheres go crazy.

i don't understand how you actually attach the itemmodel to a socket? am i stupid here? i've triple checked the video but can't seem to find how that's done in this example

how do i retrieve the information from the table? e.g. making the damage level apply to the enemy?

Hey, so what was the purpose of S_Slots? How did it make the system possible? thx!

[@gevorghambardzumyan2375]

great video but I would like to know. how you handle armor. a weapon I think is easy you just attach it to the socket, BUT armor. every tutorial I see just handles it as a weapon and instead of a character with the armor you get a character inside the inflexible box that looks like armor

[@LucasAdrianPlays]

DEPENDING ON THE ARMOUR YOU WANT TO EQUIP IF IT IS BODY ARMOUR, EG chest armour.... best thing to do is create a parent socket of spine 3 bone (THIS ONE WORKS THE BEST) and then add the body armour to that parent socket... adjust it to fit your character and them boom there you go

[@gevorghambardzumyan2375]

@@LucasAdrianPlays Yes, but the socket won't fix the problem with the armor model weighing. that's why I'm interested is there a way to make for example armor to inherit the character model weight scheme. no one creates a video about that. like in any RPG you can change your armor and it still looks good on character.

[@うーん-s6q]

When adding items such as armor or consumables like healing potions, do you add DataTables for armor (ArmorDataTable) and consumables (ConsumableDataTable) similar to the WeaponDataTable?

[@nenadjovanovic1411]

Tnx for tutorials "Gorka The Basically" :) Solved a lot of problems learning from you. Fast question( ue5.1): Do you know why somethimes trace for object not have hit reaction with some actors? Bug or mesh problem/option? Thank You again.

[@itsMBWAAA]

my first thought is that the Object Type in the sphere trace is not the Type of object that it is set up to trace for. So in this particular tutorial, if you set the Type to be Pawn, it wont Hit the BP_Weapon because the BP_Weapon is a WorldDynamic Object Type by default

[@rremnar]

In C++, don't you need to do your own garbage handling? If you fill an array, you need to clear them out. If you create new objects, you need to free them. Or does blueprints do this for you?

[@rremnar]

Why do you need to create an array of object type for the sphere trace? The information would be empty. Unless you are doing that to force the array elements to only pull in that data type.

[@slackamacgaming6721]

17:43...i watched this one first...and in ue4 you can't use action inputs in bp components...unless im missing something...this is the inventory style i want to use...but haven't found a work around to this issue...yet...ugh coding

[@whitesheep1417]

is it possible to make a quick tutorial on how to change the character from the manny to a custom character, like some knight or something? I must Say that i like this series of you very much, it helps me a lot.

[@katiekaliber]

If the skeleton is the same then you just change the skeletal mesh in your character blueprint details and then select the third person animation blueprint for it. If it is a different skeleton you want to set up a fresh Animation Blueprint that fits your skeleton. If you need visual aid there are a lot of tutorials on this topic on youtube and they all do the same thing.
