    After watching so many tutorials you are the only one that explains how these other tutorials have preset Variables that don't exist in the engine by default and how to create them. Not knowing that aspect of the process has broken the learning process in most of the videos I've watched so far as it's always overlooked. Thank you!!!

    this tutorial is exactly what i was looking for. i spent 8 hrs trying to find a solution to triggering animation blueprint states using a box trigger object, and i just took the key press logic shown here and replaced it with the onactorbeginoverlap logic, and it worked like a charm.

  • @howardprice9992
    @howardprice9992 2 роки тому

    This is a great and simple tutorial on animations (and was really helpful) - it worked straight away when I tried it. The only issue I have is that it casually describes getting the Anim BP from the level then casting it (via a skeletal Mesh) to get the Animation Instance and THEN casts it (back?) to the same Anim BP it started with - but at this point (automagically?) it now has access to member functions and variables of the Anim BP.
    I would love to understand why this convoluted step is needed as part of learning how to navigate the complete system called Unreal Engine (rather than just being shown the magic to reproduce)

  • @marcoseliasmep

    Good video... BUT, how do you efficiently add multiple state machines? I'm currently using the "SavedPose" and "UseCachedPose" nodes with the Blend Pose by Bool (or Int) into my OutputPose node for multiple state machines. Is there a better way? I've heard that it is also possible to seed state machines inside other state machines, but I haven't tried that yet. Having possibly hundreds of different animation states, there has to be a good way to efficiently add multiple state machines. My state machine already looks like a spider's web on steroids, and it can get very messy with hundreds of transition rules. Any insight or feedback would be appreciated.

  • @anferneeee92

    This is pretty helpful but is there a way to set up a way to add a layered animation, like the walking on the character lower half and reloading on the upper half? I'm trying to figure out this 'layered blend per bone' but I'm failing miserably.

  • @pick8695
    @pick8695 Рік тому +1

    Animation doesn't loop? I FOUND THE ANSWER!
    Double click on the box you connected to the Conduit (in my case the Running box).
    Single click on your Sequence Player so that you can see the Details panel. Do not double click to open the sequence player.
    In the Details panel select the Loop Animation checkbox in the Settings dropdown.
    TADA
    If however you decided to double click to open the Sequence Player then you will see a Loop Animation checkbox there too. Idk why its there but it does nothing. It took me about 20 minutes to find the other Loop Animations option in the Details panel.
    If this helped you, please like this comment so that more people dont waste as much time as I did in finding this solution. Good luck!

    not a working example but just how the different state machines can be structured and connected , especially with this conduit node (wasn't aware of that ) .
    i am not asking for a full featured complete example with all the animations ...etc
    just some talking explaing how to create different state types and how to structure and connect everything .

    • @Gravedrinker
      @Gravedrinker Рік тому +1

      Yeah this took me a while to find out. You need an animation blueprint and have the logic in the animation graph. There you can basically draw arrows from one animation to another and set what condition has to be fulfilled for it to be able to make this transition. You add something like "If in idle and jumping = true -> transition to and stay in jumping animation" and "If jumping and jumping = false -> transition to idle". @@ARORUDDO

  • @ScytheriaReborn
    @ScytheriaReborn 2 роки тому

    There's a really nice workflow I use to do animations which totally removes the need for any logic in the Anim Blueprint (it ends up in the character BP instead). I simply define 'AnimStates' in the character BP and pass these (along with pin variables like speed) to the Anim BP. Transitions to/from states in the Anim State Machine are called by a single boolean (AnimState = State or AnimState not= State), all connected to a single hub (a conduit). This means you totally avoid the spaghetti of states linking to other states.

  • @cpeppler01
    @cpeppler01 3 роки тому

    My goal is to animate machines, not characters. I want to trigger an animation on the transition between states, with a static position during the state. Example: Open Doors. Idle state is closed. Open trigger causes open door animation, on completion you are in Open state. Trigger Close action, run Close animation, enter "closed" state (no animation).
    How do I run animations on transition, with non animation during states?

  • @infinithoughts4002

    Hey I'm looking developers knowledge about state machines so I can pay them to fix a problem. I have a functioning blend by enum state machine, but only for single wielding.
    For example ; I have a sword in my (left) and (right) hand. So theoretically my dual-sword state machine would play.
    Another example - Shield (left)hand , Sword in the (right) hand.
    Think you could help me code something like this?

    Hey Kat. I tried your tutorial but started with the Third Person Character. I connected the existing Idle/Run State to the Conduit and added my other State animations. It will Compile without errors, but after setting up keyboard triggers and Play the Level, the character only has idle/run attributes with the W/A/S/D keys. What am I missing? Or, will this approach not work? Thanks.

I would love for someone to work with Malbers to get their Horse animset working with a riding system (like he has in Unity) in Unreal, but he hasn't got a UE developer to help him. I would like to get the skills to do that, but can't find the tutorial resources to that level.

    Hi Kat, and thanks for this! For zombies just standing around waiting for an unsuspecting victim to wander by, how much work would it be to have these "standing in one place" animations play randomly until a victim is spotted, and then the zombies chase? There are at least 3 or 4 zombie idle animations on Mixamo that are all slightly different. Plus there is the agonizing idle, the screaming idle and the scratching idle.
    The usual locomotion tutorial involves idle > walk > run. How can I have one of several idle animations play? Then 1 of 2-3 walk animations, etc.?
    Also, for that fall_back then jump to standing idle that you played twice, (grin!), there one called stand_up that looks like it is supposed to be linked with fall_back to get to standing_idle. How can they be linked together smoothly?
    There are lots of marketplace products where several animations look like they are supposed to be joined together to make a smooth sequence for NPCs. (not player characters) Like the free Animal Variety Pack that has a crow in it with idle, walk, hop, eat something, stretch, scratch. These all look like they could be put together in a randomizer so that if they were played in any order, it would look smooth and natural.
    I haven't found anyone who has shown to put 3 or more animations together for animals or pawn idling.
    Feel like taking on a tutorial to cover this? Thx!
