Player Health & Armor - #3 Creating A First Person Shooter (FPS) With Unreal Engine 4

[@galiliori2327]

finally a human who makes a whole series and does not stop in the middle!!!! GOOD JOB!!!!

[@coboltgames6216]

You are probably the first channel I have found where the person makes the tutorials actually interesting and fun! You are the best man!!!

[@archbarron1355]

Just found your channel.....have been looking for good tutorials for unreal engine 4 for quite a while. These tutorials are some of the best I've come across so far. You are a great teacher man....thank you so much for these tutorials, I am so very grateful to you for creating them. Keep up the fantastic work :)

[@pathetikruns7094]

If you are having trouble with the health and/or armour variables, make sure you compile the ThirdPersonCharacter or whatever you called it right after you make both variables a float. Like if this helped

[@trippinduke]

thx bruh, i don't even know if i did what u said but i did something and it worked ahah

[@nunutheoni7298]

thx so much

[@MrBrew4321]

That's weird, I wondered about that. Why would it need to be compiled before assigning a value?

[@rlong747]

still not getting the hud, what did I do wrong? I am at the event begin play, contruct none, when I go to cass I dont have the hud. I have compiled as well

[@rlong747]

Uggh! I know what I did wrong, I did not name the FPS thing... everything is working properly....this ain't your mothers doom editor! LOL

[@aadityabhashyam5679]

this dude is legit so helpful

[@ajtheprogrammer6500]

Love this man actually no breaks don't even thinks for himself just teaches us. Excellent work bro keep it up. You surely will beat t series

[@eermiss]

For those who have grey health or armor bars check the following. See at 6:09 , we are inside the Get Percent 0 function which shows our bar on the screen. Notice how Virtus connects the Armor as the Return Value for the Return Node Same thing at 7:16, make sure your Health is passed as the return value to the Return Node. That was for me, I had forgotten to link it so it would show as grey. Good luck

[@kirlo8721]

Hi i dont understand it but i have the same problem can you help me?

[@ryfqiz]

and in my problem, dont forget to set the default value on variables to 1

[@infernumstudios5883]

If you're getting compiling errors, make sure you create the binding for the progress instead of the fill color and opacity. That's what worked for me anyways.

[@kseverens]

Not sure if he adresses this later, but you can take 100 for amor and health, and then in the bind funtion take your health value and divide it by 100. (or max a max HP/armor value and divide it by that). This way you can work with higher numbers in your coding. Which is nice for when you work with HP boosts, or different armor levels.

[@SilverShotHD]

For people having issues with the bar being grey, make sure you don't have a bind at the bucket fill for health and armor. That was my issue.

[@NauhticaShorts]

what does that mean?? i really need help

[@vago2121]

@@NauhticaShorts my problem was that it says variable up in the details window, i deactivated and it worked

[@lilbon6073]

thanks i figured it out thanks to ur comment

[@powermins2030]

just a tip for those who see this, when setting up the health and armor percent bars, create a max health and max armor variable and set them to the values of the max health and armor you want, then when setting up the values for the bars you divide the health/armor by the max health/armor and plug the return value into the percent, so now you can have real values instead of just 1, but if you change the health variable you have to change the max health variable, but throughout the game, the max health variable does not change unless you have things like equipment pickups and stuff. if you have any questions you can comment here, ill try to respond to them

[@FntX-Video]

Good hint! I'd prefer adding up several variables for pickups anyway and these can be chained into the calculation easily throughout the development cycle.

[@jonnylawrence4819]

[@adamdrysdale3678]

[@alexszucs9252]

Dude you are awesome. Instantly subscribed under 5 seconds after watching your videos. Best tutorials so far, hope you keep up the good work, so detailed!

[@SpencerBarrett1173]

Great video. Take as much time as you can talking about variables and casting as I find those really help us newbies. If we had sprint in here as a bar as well, would it benefit us to use an enum for health, armor, sprint, and then create a struct with things such as recharge rate, max, etc? If so will you be pursuing that route later?

[@jefffsfff1783]

Virtus, you are awesome. Thank you for doing things the way a Virtus does things.

[@mr.raider744]

if u think the tuto is very slow try to play on 1.5 speed its really really good...

[@fahadsacrifice]

Guys if you want the game to stop at 0 health do this: 1. Go to the Take Damage 5% tab in ThirdPersonCharacter 2. Make a branch and connect it to the last command. 3. Make the branch condition float

[@kasperbruin8844]

I'm getting this error Error The type of Object is undetermined. Connect something to Cast To ThirdPersonCharacter to imply a specific type. Error The current value of the ' Object ' pin is invalid: Unsupported type Object Wildcard on pin Object

[@clvxzn9863]

nvm it works i love devsquad!

[@pakwatan9576]

For those who cant find health variable while searching 1. open search from blue print 2. check context sensitive box and go to its property 3. from there uncheck "This blueprint"

[@doge_scar2863]

Your soo good I subbed

[@Nightowl_IT]

You may want to use the shortcuts too like copy paste. CTRL + C => CTRL + V for the hud in the designer.

[@LOL2YOU]

Definitely subbing your channel. You make it so easy to understand everything! This is coming from no experience. Well done!

Wow, you have got great hearing. I've got the one plus. I will be continueing the sequencer series soon, i've just been enjoying the FPS & RPG series way too much. :D

[@1286udain]

haha, even I have a OnePlus 3 set on the default ringtone. It's a great phone. Yeah, I get you :D I loved your SurvivalHorror series too. Just finished it. I would love to see some video on better scaling for landscape textures, or if you have a link for some great textures, it would be helpful. I am stuck with it in my previous project, otherwise I would have exported it and uploaded with your links. I am tweaking the LandscapeCoordinates MappingScale for little to no help. Another thing, I would love to learn how to select and deselect particular files while exporting a project, as in if I don't want to export certain files, like I have the whole KiteDemo project files. I am using only a couple of files from it and the rest are useless. Does the engine automatically remove the un-linked files or can we do it somehow? I know you have a lot to do already, would love to see these in your future videos someday or in a comment below :D Thanks again!

Sir I tried it but When i played my game the both bar was of white color. Please help me!

[@achilleas_christ9136]

If you cant see the armor and health on the screen while playing plese check the default values of the bars on the thirdpersoncharacter graph (worked for me} please like this so other people can see it too

[@tonyfisher6379]

Brilliant tutorial.

[@FutureBanger]

Isn't that would be better if health would be combined with armor...? All you need is just a decent formula for calculating health. It basically would lower the damage on health. So the more armor you have - the less damage you can take. And maybe even instead of your separated armor make it like shield which recharges when no taking any damage for x ammount of time. But its value wouldn't be restricted by armor.

[@FutureBanger]

Im going to make that system tho, to see how it would feel in game

[@sadhappy7511]

Future Banger its like that in most FPS games i know..

[@ENERGYMAXXING]

Future Banger Maybe he will add recharging

[@ENERGYMAXXING]

Future Banger and i also think that he will make an extra function after taking any damage and there he would divide the damage with the armor value and *then* Deal the final damage (sorry for bad english - i can't talk about maths in english^^)

[@frostbite4826]
