UE5 Tutorial Pt1: Reuse Sequencer Animation On Different Actors By Rebinding
Underrated channel. Great information and I really like the way you demonstrate and teach. Glad UA-cam recommended it to me. I feel like I've found a diamond in the rough!
Can you show in a video how you made the mouse cursor? I want to rotate the camera without hitting the edges of the screen and destroying my cursor. Just like you.
You are making a good stuff. thx!
I just realized I don't have the tick marks for the tasks in the state tree in 5.5.0-release. Do they only exist in the Mac version?
Okay, you can still disable and enable tasks. The option is in the right-click context menu on the task item.
Looks like it’s Mac only exposed, but it doesn’t work. If you click it, the editor generally crashes! Right click enable disable task is best way until it’s added in future versions.
@@Three_Ways Yeah, no crashes on Windows for me when working with disabled tasks using the context menu.
Quite often, my character with the AI controller doesn't seem to be controlled by it. I replicated your project here, and it works as yours, but once I close the editor and relaunch it with the project, the character doesn't respond anymore. Often I just need to reload the map that had already been loaded at startup, and everything works again. But it's still irritating because I couldn't figure out why this is happening.
If I set a state to `Break on Enter,` it only works on the first run for me. The next time I launch the game, the break points don't work anymore. I experience that with multiple projects. Anything that can be done about it? So far, only restarting has helped.
What are your spline settings for your graph editor? I tried to get the splines like yours, but I can't figure out what settings produce these results.
Have you found 5.5 pretty stable regarding state trees?
Overall it's pretty stable and gets better with each release. Some odd things will cause it to crash the editor, but you'll learn to avoid them or workaround them.
@@Three_Ways For the past few weeks I had only rarely crashes with 5.5.0, only when I did something stupid in C++. 5.5 is very stable for me (still Windows 10), though sometimes the character seems to ignore the AI, usually after launching the project as described in my other post here.
How you straight lines like this? I think I found Electronic Nodes, Subway style.
Yes, I'm using Electronic Nodes plugin installed from marketplace.
Having the **get property ref** Node is a nice addition to the system. I was using Variables on the Context actor to achieve more or less the same results but this makes the StateTree even more agnostic and flexible. Thank you for the clear explanation!! 👍
It's a great feature, as it allows you to use the parameters list as a blackboard like in Behaviour trees, to write back values. Needed workarounds before this.
Wow awesome feature, been waiting for this for a long time. If I can ask, where did you found how to eneable it, maybe in a forum post? I saw it in the roadmap, but I could not find how to enable this. Thanks.
There is some official documentation here: dev.epicgames.com/documentation/en-us/unreal-engine/automatic-navigation-link-generation
Awesome, thanks for this very good tutorial. Perhaps you could show how to create an ai with several needs and how to implement an ai utility approach. The new 5.5 supports utility ai, right? For example ai is hungry, he moves to a table smart object, he has to go to the toilet, he searches for the bathroom, etc. 😊
Yes, it does in 5.5, and it's a great addition to State Trees. I've got a tutorial on it coming soon.
Very cool
Brother thanks once again for you best tutorial. Can you just make a tut about foot placement for any character in sequencer? It's annoying how we move a character in a different terrain.
I don't know how to thank you brother. I was struggling with this for 2 months. Almost giving up because of these snapping problems. This is the best tutorial I have ever seen for Root Motion.
Glad I could help
I don't get why they don't activate the `GameplayStateTree` plugin by default.
I agree, and I'm sure they will in future versions, as more people use State Trees.
@5:50 - Good looking out! I usually put a Select on the anim graph for the ShouldMove, feeding off of the > and the AND. Your Acceleration toggle is so much easier.
Glad to help!
The Use Acceleration For Paths setting in the character movement component is the correct way of doing it, in Unreal, because that is what the animation blueprint is set up to receive. This way works for both player and NPCs, without modifying the anim blueprint. Seen lots of people/videos claiming that unreal messed up the anim blueprint for ai characters and never fixed it! Glad it helped.
how to add multiple ai to follow the same path
Each instance of the AI character will use it own State Tree. But if you want them to follow a specific path, you'll need to define a path with points in a spline mesh or define a leader they have to follow.
hi its a great playlist. can i know how to do Ai instancing using state tree I wanted to add Duplicated NPC to follow along the same behaviour behind eachother
Are state trees the new form of state machines for character locomotion?
No. The locomotion animation is the state machine, this is an alternative for the behavior tree. To control ai, but it is not limited to this either. You can also control other game logic with the state tree.
@@unreal_metronomus678 Thank you I did not know this. Is there a tutorial describing how to create many different locomotions and switching weapons? For example, walking with a pistol uses a certain body animation with the arms stretched out and walks with short steps. Then switch to a rifle with the arms tucked in and the legs walk with longer steps, then switch to a sword with the right hand is behind the torso and the center of gravity of the body is lower? I ask because a lot of UA-cam tutorials only cover one weapon and locomotoin. The other UA-cam tutorials that cover multiple forms of locomotion do non seem to work.
@@hotsauce7124 Yes, there are quite a lot of youtube videos about this. If you´re using UE 5.4, then search for motion matching, chooser and Dynamic Additive Layering. This guys has a series about how to set up different weapon animations ua-cam.com/video/d_p1WhfPw5A/v-deo.html , but it is quite advanced. There are also easier videos on how to seperate the top / bottom part of the body for different animation.
@@unreal_metronomus678 Thank you, I will try this guy's tutorials. Thank you very much.
As of now the answer is no. But who knows they might make the animation system use state tree in the future one day. State Tree is Unreal Engine's implementation of a Finite State Machine (FSM). If you don't know what a Finite State Machine is, it is a mathematical model that describes a system with a limited number of states and transitions between them. The animation blueprint's graph also uses a finite state machine model but it is implemented in a different way and is specifically made for animations. But, technically since they both use the FSM model it should be possible to do animation stuff with State Tree as well. It's just not setup for it like ABP is so it'll be more limited in what it can do because of that. State Tree can also be used for almost anything the FSM model can be used for, like for example: Quest System, Dialogue System, Attack Combo System, AI behavior, and anything else that could benefit from the Finite State Machine model.
Really good stuff
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is there a way I could have multiple colors for highlights, like green for friendly highlights and red for enemy?
Yes you can. Next video in this series will show how.
Hi, why is there a ghosting effect when you move fast left and right? Is that because of how the material is set up or the engine is not well put together for such effect?
I'll show the settings you need to change to solve this issue in the next part of the series, coming soon.
Hi, thanks for your videos. Is there a mechanism in the "State Tree" similar to the "Observer Aborts" from the "Behavior Tree"? I do this using "Send Event", but it's not convenient, it needs to be specified almost everywhere.
If you put the transition on event on the Root of the tree, it should apply to all child states of the root. You can then tell it to Fail the tree when received with high priority. If I understand what you’re asking correctly, then this should avoid having to duplicate events on every child task. You can also use on tick on transition rule or run a global task and override the tick event or create timers to check for global conditions applicable to the entire tree. Trial and error should solve your issue.
@@Three_Ways thank you, it seemed to me that I tried to do this, but I will check it more carefully
@@Three_Ways yes, it works) thanks) in 5.2 I did the same thing, but it didn't work out for me, maybe because I was just starting to study state trees and was doing something wrong
Think maybe you can make a tutorial on how AI can take cover, like going to cover and then a few seconds it comes out of cover
I’m planning on doing this using the character we created in these videos with Animation Layers & State trees: ua-cam.com/play/PLcGTXHTill5RV3OuZaQyHs4KXpg3O-fZj.html
May I ask, is there a way to bake all this to the IK 'Modular Rig' controls? Not the Layered or Additive methods. But bake all the animation keys to the 'modular IK' skeleton so the keys are baked to IK controls. Thank you for this tutorial. This tutorial helps me out A LOT!!!
I hope part 2 answered your question, obviously the skeleton needs an existing Control Rig to do this : ua-cam.com/video/mxKQuiWAXc4/v-deo.html
Hi, thank you so much for this video. I tried this out and it works as intended. Is there a way we could toggle the highlight on/off?
I've created a video to show how this can be done using the Camera post process material: ua-cam.com/video/zhwePgKL9TY/v-deo.html
Good greif Im glad Im havent gotten into making NPCs yet
Holy shit it's AI ANGEEEEL
Thanks for this, i was searching up for one.. i am making a game and in one level its just a forest and wanted the main character to just chase the monkey/monster till the end to escape the place.. Thanks Again
I think your tutorials are great. And I have a question. I have a survival game and would like to change the color of the texture in the game via a menu and have it saved. Can you make a tutorial for this?
Awesome tutorial as always! A potential tutorial on playstation controller integration would be awesome. Specifically Dualsense. Apparently playstation partners get access to some of their specific plugins for the integration, but I was wondering whether it's possible to do it "cleanly" with public available resources, perhaps utilizing Unreals' new systems such as Enhanced Input. There's very little info on this online, so this can potentially be very useful. I think Unreal is only setup to automatically detect Xinput (xbox controller), but I was wondering whether it's possible to detect what kind of input device is currently active and when they change, and update UI icons accordingly.
As a complete noob with unreal, I love the way you explain things. I've watched so many tutorials that don't explain WHY you need to do certain things. I really like the way you leave certain things out and show how things work without certain nodes. Instant sub. Thanksa lot.
Very useful sharing. I'm very bad at these frontend conception. TY for everything!
Do you prefer state trees over behavior trees? Let’s say I’m making an rpg action game
Personally, I find it easier to control complex logic and transitions with State Trees, than Behaviour trees, especially if you use Gameplay Tags. However, State Trees are still in development, so the usual caveats apply. But they seem fully functional. Best to experiment with both to see which one suits your mindset or game needs best. Behaviour trees are more visual, versus list based States.
@@Three_Ways thank you for the explanation. Great videos. Hope you keep them coming

thanks man, keep it up. like the name too. hahaha
Hey man! Just wanted to say thank you very much for your tutorials! They have all been really helpful, I am glad you started popping up on my feed :D Just as an idea, but maybe you would be willing to cover some world partition stuff? Like best practices when utilizing it in your project, ideal settings and configuration, optimizing to avoid hitching, etc...
I’m glad they’ve been helpful. World partition and especially data layers are on my list.
If anyone is getting issues with collision on their spline meshes, I go through the process of adding collision in the second part: ua-cam.com/video/GD9KZAvAufs/v-deo.html
You should consider not recording at ultra wide. I can barely see what you are doing.
Thank you so much! This rebinding thing is so much much easy in Unity timeline. But sadly, this is the only way now in Unreal to reuse sequence :(
Glad it helped.
