Add Any Character... Literally

This is a quick and easy way to add any character or just simply change the player character in the new motion matching game animation sample project. We also take a look at how to add our own custom mesh to traverse. You can use this method on pretty much any mesh that uses the UE4/5 skeleton.

LOL, I already knew how to bring in a character into GAS but you taught me a simple technique to create those traveral walls and ledges. Cant believe I did not think to do it that way, thanks man !

[@funkyguy0]

This worked flawlessly thank you. I used a mixamo character straight from mixamo and followed these steps.

[@Clydiie]

@funkyguy0 glad it worked bro

[@lordeross4870]

You just taught me so much more than what the title says lol thank you.

[@mohamedalmala]

THANKS KING.

[@probuzzgaming]

But how would I add that in to another project once done inside this project? Cheers.

[@probuzzgaming]

So I did manage to do just that and succeeded only once. I wasn't happy with the character so chose another character and merged and now it doesn't compile as it did the first time. Now when I did manage to do it the second time it does but without the animations 🤔

[@alraffa5090]

@@probuzzgaming You need to make sure that the project you are merging this into has all of the required plug-ins for motion matching turned on. Did you do that ?

my man🎉

[@awcapproachwithcaution5655]

This destroyed my project, left my character stuck in t pose so i've had to restart. Don't Know why it didn't work though

[@rishik-w8k]

I don't have the APB_generic_retarget T.T what do I do ?

[@Clydiie]

@rishik-w8k I need to revisit how this is done let me get back to you

[@Alex-Chupa12]

Hi, it would be great to see a tutorial about Aim Offset!

[@Clydiie]

I'll have a look

[@SuperCinema4d]

I tried to run net mode play is 2 clients, but character control doesn't work, maybe you know why?

[@laurennewman9365]

The default GASP is not set up for replication, there are other projects people have altered that are though e.g. ua-cam.com/video/-zkdBxBybFg/v-deo.html

[@VividMind-40of60]

Thanks.. your video is just what I needed. Could you do an animation retargeting in 5.4

[@Clydiie]

It's pretty simple and I kind of showed it in this video

[@MasterPiffy]

Been done 1000 times by other people as well just go look

[@Clydiie]

@MasterPiffy yeah also it would really be like a 10-second video

[@CTRLsway]

i followed this but it seems like only my characters legs work properly his upper body is still in a t pose, the retargeter said it was unable to find the root bone, amongst other bones

[@Clydiie]

idk what to say bro i haven't had any issues with this method and I've done it with multiple different characters... it might be that the character you are trying to use doesn't use the manny skeleton

[@CTRLsway]

@@Clydiie it doesn't it's my custom character, i shall try and rig it with the manny skeleton

[@Clydiie]

@CTRLsway I would suggest trying to rig with a character that already uses the skeleton like the paragon ones just to confirm it works for you... I'm pretty sure it will, but just to be on the safe side

[@vipercursos]

How do I set this character as default spawn?

[@Clydiie]

watch this video at 0:30 but basically just change it in the game mode

[@warriorblood]

My comment could be out of ignorance. But I vehemently believe that re-targeting in UE5 is too convoluted.. hope they implement a better way to do this for this EXTREMELY common need in UE.

[@alraffa5090]

retargeting is easier then even in 5.4 there are several tutorials out there how to do this.

[@xXxShankersxXx]

@@alraffa5090 i think the point they where making is its still too complex for something thats basically a copy/paste job extended

[@JohnRiversOfficial]

lmao nice OS xD

[@redkalupt_hd8231]

you can make a tutorial on how to do the animation with a sword, for example, so the animation is then changed slightly so that it looks like he is carrying a sword 😅?

[@Clydiie]

I could potentially put the swords on the back of the character and make it so that with a button, you can bring the swords out and put them back on the back

[@redkalupt_hd8231]

@@Clydiie sounds difficult

[@Clydiie]

@redkalupt_hd8231 nah its simple

[@redkalupt_hd8231]

@@Clydiie could you maybe make a tutorial about this?😅

[@Kinos141]

Kind of a shame that parkour isn't purely coded parkour, and you need a BP to tell the character to hop and how to hop.
