Firing Our AK-47 Weapon - #9 Creating A First Person Shooter (FPS) With Unreal Engine 4

[@sirscrooge4357]

I have a good material for a tracer round. Here's how to make it. 1. Go into material creator 2. Get a Constant3Vector (This will be the color the tracer glows) 3. Change the color of the Constant3Vector. I found R=1.0 G=0.5 B=0.0 to work. 4. Drag the pin off of the Constant3Vector and Type in Multiply. 5. Type in constant, and get a constant, make the value 1000 6. Hook the constant into the other pin for the Multiply 7. Hook the multiply into emissive color 8. Your material should look like the sun

[@sirscrooge4357]

This material was my brothers idea

[@galactisaurusrex191]

cant believe noone has said this but this was an awesome idea by your brother

In today's video we go over how we can make our weapon fire a basic projectile. Enjoy!

Virtus, Could you please show or post the rotation and location for your AK47? I would appreciate it a lot!

[@BruceLee-tm3cg]

awesome tut, just want to share some of thoughts during development, 1. Instead of using socket for projectille spawn point, I simply add an arrow component in the weapon_base blue print class, therefore the projectille always spawns from right direction from rifle without any tweaking of socket location. 2. For projectille movement, gravity 1 means the projectille under full gravity, 0 means no gravity, just some correction here in case anyone confusing. Thanks again for putting up such awesome tut, you are the best, Virtis.

[@rtessence1433]

For me I can't add a capsule when we are changing the static mesh. I search in capsule, but nothing comes up. Do you know how to fix this?

[@fegarfro]

additionally you can change the arrow scale to change the projectile size specific to each weapon

[@juliangombos8127]

For anyone noticing that the damage vignette comes up when we shoot at the pain volume. We can do a simple check to see if the overlapping actor is actually us and not something else. In the event graph of our pain volume before we cast to ThirdPersonCharacter we need to do a check. Move the event ActorBeginOverlap away from the cast and disconnect them. Drag off of the "Other Actor" pin on the event and search "==" and hit enter. It will be looking for another object to compare. From our Get Player Character node just drag that into the other input on the "==" node. Now create a branch node and for the condition input on the branch node, plug that into the output of the "==" node. Then hookup the "True" output to the cast. So the it should now fire the event, then the branch, and then the cast.

I have just started using UE4. While I am not following your whole series, just trying to learn weapon design, the few videos I did watch are by far the best tutorials I have found on youtube. My knowledge is still severely lacking in basic fundamentals of UE4 so I do not fully understand but none the less your tutorial is easy to follow and informative.

[@incendiaryagenda3569]

Thank you so much for these videos! You are a really incredible speaker and deliver everything in such a concise, clear manner. I have some really ambitious goals for game development, but I'm totally in the dark when it comes to the Unreal Engine -- having these videos was really a lifesaver, since I'm not having to e-hop around through annoying commentators telling me things I don't need to know. Such great content, thanks man!

[@fakedketchup5029]

If your weapon is little offset of your hand, just add another attach to component and make another socket on the other hand.

[@MortisSwe]

For anybody else also, add a particle system and a audio in your components list no need to attach to anything else but the bullet mesh, it auto plays a sound for you and a particle when firing the bullet.

[@stevewright9195]

Very impressed how good you are at this

[@lexmcdaniel1946]

The series gets better with ever video.

[@Bachus_To_Ja]

Will you be able to lift the gun while looking up?

For those whoses gun is not appearing. Check ur AttachToComponent Node and see if u have attached the mesh to parent point.

[@roelthijssen2147]

Is there a way to make the projectile go from, or towards the crosshair? Instead of the muzzle from the weapon? (Im not using ADS animations)

How do I make it so my AK-47 is shiny like his?

[@azubit]

open the project settings go to rendering and there you can set up msaa texture streaming and reflections

[@thelawgameplaywithcommenta2654]

Oh and I learned that the logic is flawed. If you press fire after firing, you will get another impulse to fire without going through the logic first. This allows you to circumvent fire rate by pressing the fire button instead of holding it. You only need to add a Do once node that resets on failure of the last branch check to stop this. It will make you unable to fire until you completed the logic and holding will skip that step still allowing you to automatic fire.

ok guys for anyone who still has the bullet coming out of the side of the gun this is what you do. I went into the projectile_base blue print clicked on projectilemovement and changed the velocity of x,y,x to (x = 0 ) (y = 0) and ( z = 1) I hope that helps

[@ikramikky2838]

the position ** of the projectile to x:0,y:0,z:1

[@StopItRyan]

Thanks I thought I was going crazy here.

[@brentooo]

Is there a way to make the gun follow the mouse pointer instead of being stuck to the one position?

When i look down with the camera, the hands of the player dont move down. How can i fix this? Thanks in advance.

Why your AK all shiny and mines not??

[@Snot69420]

i think he has special only for him but mine is not shiny but u cant expect a free thing to be that good

[@horizoner9158]

@@Snot69420 No, its because he changed some stuff in the MAT section. he said it himself. you can learn about MAT to make it shiny as well.

[@fuzzypanda1684]

This series is so awesome, I love it! Y'all in the comments are awesome too, every time something doesn't work because it was changed in an update or whatever, the solution is right in the comments! Not to mention those of you who come up with cool little twists, like SirScrooge's idea for glowing rounds. This community is awesome.

[@gamedevelopmenttutorials5298]

If you want your bullet speed for your AK to be very realistic, you should set your projectile speed to 71500. This is 715m/s which is the muzzle velocity for a real AK.
