Hello DirtbagOps, may I ask a noobie question: At time index 11:27 I cannot compile after assigning the animation blueprint to the player blueprint. I get a bunch of " InputAction Event references unknown Action" for Jump, Lookup, ResetVR, InputAxis LookUp Rate, Input TurnRate... etc
even wingfox ones that are so great the teacher from my course did not explained properly but the overall is good. so i thanks to Ryan Laley he clarified all!
Hey Ryan! great work in this video! I have been searching and trying to learn these things for a few days and so far, your video seemed to be the best. I really appreciate the time and effort you take by explaining each thing and their function in the engine (like what is a state machine, or what is a state itself?) and how they function. Most other videos i see are something like "you plug this in and it works fine". So thanks a lot, man!
Thanks a lot! I'm just beginner, who tried to search way to add state machine for few hours. There is option in right-click menu "State Machine" without "Add". 4:01 Clearly seen, I need another option -> Animation/State Machine. It's complicated
Thank you! you teach so well that i now can clearly undestand after making an whole course and start another i got the same block question to understand ''what makes i move to one state to another'' ? now i totally understand that there is an ''condition'' and i also need an blendspace everytime it has more than one movement,right ?
Anim bp has too little tutorials online. would be nice to see some more advanced Tutorial series about anim bps, like how to use more them 1 anim bp. more then 1 state machines, and all the nodes specific for anim bps
Thanks Ryan, nice tutorial, enjoyed it and learned a lot. Are you going to show us how to get the gun to fire and work as well? That is a really nice character. Liked and subed
Nice tutorials thank you but little confused as watched so many videos on player input/control etc and nearly all process is different. Kinda hard when trying to learn and not sure which is the correct way to go about this! Is there more than one way to 'skin a cat' or is it because of old builds of UE etc?
Nice Job. I'm working on trying to get my Metahumans to work as inWorld ai NPC's. I needed a review and your entire effort here is impressive. Inworld codes their Metahumans a bit differently. Curiously, they have a basic demo where any Metahumans will use their AI logic for "talking" and it's use of Chat GPT, or what ever they are using , is fun. But in the advanced demo from their UE 5 SDK, I can't get the gestures and movement animations of the APB to work with a Quixe Bridge Metahuman. The Metahuman BP in the demo is far different than the "stock" BP off the Quixel Bridge. They have different variables and different functions. I'm not C++ literate, so if you have experience with inWorld AI coding I'd love to know as I've saw above that you do give lessons. Right now I'm just cutting out as much unnecessary features from the Demo and using one of their Methumans. In doing that I have talking, walking, and gesturing, and have blend spaces in their State Machine to smooth things out. But right now I'm in the deep end of the pool and getting information on where the life jackets are is very time consuming. I could use a guide. Again really appreciate your work. It's very apparent that you've put great effort into crafting these tutorials.
I’m running into issues within the viewport after changing the anim class to the created animation blueprint. I hit compile and I’m getting a bunch of input, action event, references, unknown, and a bunch more. Is there also a way how to get the player start to reflect the revenant character as when I just hit play it’s the default character for the UE mannequin
I figured out the solution. You have to alter the BP_ThirdPersonCharacter in the content folder. Select the Mesh (CharacterMesh0) in the components panel. Then in the details panel on the right, change the Anim Class to your created Animation and the skeletal mesh asset setting to your desired revenant. Lastly COMPILE. Do a preview and it should reflect.
Ive been looking for a proper animation pack that has a lot of basic movements as well as animations to go from standing to sitting or crouching, any suggestions to find all those basic things?
Would you be willing to show how to integrate a 2d blend space dodge roll into the locomotion that you created in the part 2 tutorial. I have a majority of this set up but I do not have the blue print coding knowledge to combine the dodge roll into the main locomotion in the 3rd person BP.
Hi can you please post a link to the character used in this tutorial to follow along? Since other characters don't have the required animation sequences it's hard to practice blend spacing all the movements. Thank you.
Have a question. Is there a reason why you didn't create a variable for speed or just a boolean "isMoving" so we don't need to calculate the length of a vector and do the comparisons? Maybe it will be used in future code, but you didn't clarify it in the video
I am very very new to Unreal as well, tho a question when it comes for the State Machine, is it possible I can have like "Idle", "Movement" and then "Attack" states? But also, when it comes for switching from "Idle" to "Movement" State, could I still use the BlendSpace1D that I created for how the movement animation, have it go on as well? Or is the BlendSpace1D not needed in that case?
When getting the Pawn Owner, would it save performance if you do this once and save it in a variable instead of validating it every tick? Or does that not matter?
How would you do this for a crouch animation and how to bridge so you changes animations between standing and crouching, and then back? I have a crouch function just having a real hard time getting these to switch the animations
Hey Ryan, thanks for this tutorial! I'm trying to follow along with my own set of animation but can't seems to get it to work. I notice when I try to set up my own State Machine, my animation only play once. It doesn't have the continuous string of dots going into the Output Pose. Any ideas of what maybe happening? Appreciate any insight into this.
I get the following errors for "Entered State Event", "Left State Event" & "Fully Blended State Event" - saying "This is no longer recommended. The recommended approach is to use the anim node function versions." So what exactly does this mean?
In Unreal5.3, the states, when clicked, now have a warning message in the detail panel: "This is no longer recommended. The recommended approach is to use the anim node function versions." Can you make a video going over this new method? I'm unclear how to proceed without using the state machines. I'm assuming this is part of Unreal's push to optimize performance in Unreal made games.

Dude, I bought a Unreal Game tutorial and it were proper confusing on this section, you made it so I understood thank you.

thank you, i hit a wall with animation when dabbling w/ unreal engine, and this came in exactly when I needed it.
I normally don't comment but THIS is an amazing AMAZING tutorial man. thanks a LOT!
This is a much welcomed series thank you!

Dude, thanks a lot for that style of video, it's really helpful. Very appreciated!!!!
This video took away a lot of anxiety from trying to build an enemy. I greatly appreciate the vid
Excellent, I already have a state machine but enjoy your thorough tutorials so much, I look forward to revision and extra insights.
Much awaited series! excited for more. Thanks
thank you, this is really great tutorial. very informative
Thanks Ryan for doing this!
Looking forward to this series!
Very detailed tutorial, thank you!
Thank you so much it helped me understand animations greately.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to explain!

11:00 I can't understand why but I don't find the Blueprint of my character to continu... I'm on UE 5.5
Does the rig have to be skeletal? What if its a series of bones for a snake or worm, will it all still work? Great tutorial man, thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks for the great explanation! I only have one question how to make 3rd person template play the revenant character instead of unreal maniken?
Hey Ryan! Thanks for the great series! Just curious, are there going to be videos of switching animations based off equipped items (such as weapons)?

Is it better to use state machine vs animation montage?
I get the following errors for "Entered State Event", "Left State Event" & "Fully Blended State Event" - saying "This is no longer recommended. The recommended approach is to use the anim node function versions."
So what exactly does this mean?
Does UE5 have a state machine for 2D animation? Or how to use this on 2D, Thanks!
The character blueprint doesn't appear for me in the content browser after following the steps

Sure, I will make a short video today about this updated change for the notify system

How to make him jump?
my model DOES NOT have any animation, how do i create one
Try mixamo
Everybody doing state machine tutorials for animations like its the only thing they can be used for
What are other use cases you can get done? I am genuely interested
