[@alfonseraffa2308]

just a note that in version 5.3.2 you have to drag out a Break Hit from the Out Hit from your Line Trace node to get all of the other options.

[@camerondegio8916]

you can also just split the structure of that and it will get you all the info

[@ilissupport268]

BRO I JUST LOVE YOUR CONTENT JUST KEEP GOING IN THIS SERIE ( the same serie in ue 4 problem is the gun shoting fire )

[@carlosrivadulla8903]

this channel so active lately and im loving it

I'm glad to hear that you're enjoying the content!

Virtus Creative why does it cost $43.74 to continue watching it's a bit much. Great video as always tho!

looking too buy you're course is the course good with unreal engine 5 2 1?

[@elgrekko9634]

Bro, I love your style in your tuto, very clean and pro, but do you have any demo about your FPS or a video link to see the result, I mean a real gameplay, not a trailer ! best regards virtus !

[@saliherturk9440]

hello, you added channel follow-ups in 5.13 seconds, how do I add them?

[@zipkiev]

Is good to say in future about impuls direction, becouse now it go in all axes... so box on video moves strange

[@didblocky1018]

I don't have Out Hit Components and others?

[@camerondegio8916]

if you are having problem with the shooting not working like its meant to just add a multiply node and connect the the fist point with another multiply node which in this video is 1500 and then add it to impulse so it work like form any direction you are shooting it will the object will follow that direction

[@guyemu1211]

could you reword this to be more clear?

[@AllCreativeGaming]

@06:36 your line trace by channel box looks completely different to mine. I only have Out Hit and Return Value on the side. I have followed every step thus far but that alludes me. Is there some blueprinting that you may have missed that will access this? This is again shown in 09:51.

[@ThePieman150]

right click out hit and do split struct pin

[@alexandrawilliams4627]

I did this method but I'm trying to setup multiplayer and on the client's side, the first shot hits but all the others are following the same path no matter how I rotate the camera. Is there a way to fix this?

[@upcomingvillain]

Great tutorial! Just one question when you shoot the cubes at the end they seem to be moving to the side instead of the back. What is causing this and how would you make it accurate?

[@MichaelRRyan]

He applies a fixed impulse on impact, meaning it will always move in the same direction. To make it more realistic you'd want the impact to be the same direction as the ray that we cast. An easy way to do this is to take the output from the Get Forward Vector used to calculate the ray direction, multiply it by a float value which is the strength of your impulse, and feed that into the impulse pin instead of the fixed vector.

[@renexthegod4538]

just set X to -500 in the add impulse, that fixed it for me

[@Refref1990]

Hi, i have this error for some reason, i checked the code and it's correct, i don't know why i should put the wall as movable, did you have this error too? Mobility of /Game/FPSAssets/FirstPersonBP/Maps/UEDPIE_0_FirstPersonExampleMap.FirstPersonExampleMap:PersistentLevel.Wall1_17 : StaticMeshComponent0 has to be 'Movable' if you'd like to AddImpulseAtLocation.

[@MichaelRRyan]

It's just a warning, it shouldn't cause a crash. I have the same and it's just triggered whenever the ray hits the wall instead of a cube.

[@Refref1990]

@@MichaelRRyan yes indeed, but i fixed put an if to the return value and then a filter for the physics, in this way only the mesh with collision can be pushed away.

[@MichaelRRyan]

@@Refref1990 Okay cool, I did something similar checking if the mobility of the actor is set to moveable

[@Refref1990]

@@MichaelRRyan Yes it's similar, the important thing it's the results xD

[@MichaelRRyan]

@@Refref1990 Very true indeed

[@gh0st1ng95]

my line trace by channel doesn't have all of your input why pls?

[@erendemirtas3906]

The impulse applied must be towards the direction of the bullet

[@GrekkoGaming]

I don't have any recoil like you bro when i shooting with the M4A ?.. any solution

[@OFFICIAL3LAZE]

Loop the animation

[@regbagshaw423]

Why is it that errors come up for the add impulse at location? Is that something that will be fixed in next episode?

[@ahmdshbz2267]

I am getting the same error

[@2009142]

What error are you getting?

[@ahmdshbz2267]

@@2009142 Blueprint Runtime Error: "Accessed None trying to read property CallFunc_BreakHitResult_HitComponent"

[@yairoren5226]

After a little bit of research I discovered that it happens when the line doesn't hit anything. Don't know how to fix it though...

[@crimsondespair_9505]

To get rid of this error, add a node from the Line Trace Top White Output (the output should say Exec when you hover over it) to a Branch node. For the Condition of the Branch node, attach the Return Value from Line Trace. Now, break the link from Line Trace to Add Impulse at Location and then add a link from True of Branch node to Add Impulse At Location

[@ahmdshbz2267]

"Line Trace by Channel" looks different in my FireWeapon function that yours. Am I missing something here?

how do i make the gun automatic??????

why is it at the line trace by channel all those options are not coming up for me?

oh wait you have to right click out hit and click split struct pin

[@minimaniacjr226]

when i shoot a box it only goes in one direction. does anyone have a fix to this

[@jakobzilinski6273]

Take the out put from the Addition blueprint used to find the line trace end, and plug it into the impulse input. You may have to add another addition blueprint in between if you want to change the strength.

[@fo0lonxbox360]

10:04 I dont have the "add impulse at location" I have 3 different "add impulse at location" but they all come with a target on them and if I delete the target the "add impulse at location" gets deleted too. Help Please!

Try right-clicking the Out Hit selector and choosing "Split Struct Pin".

multi box trace for objects looks different for me

[@4Lop532]

its multiply

[@madeeasy7148]

That is a really poor way to implement impulse on an object, if you shoot a cube on the front it flys backwards.

plz help its driving me crazy
