    Great video, quick little additional tip:
    The looping behaviour can be made a little more smooth if you change the distance input into "Get Transform at Distance Along Spline", into a "Get Distance Along Spline" %(Modulo) "Get Spline Length". That will always set the distance to be the remainder of the loop and not jump the character back to the start (0 point) of the spline when the loop is completed with an amount that does not equate to the exact length of the full loop.

    • @Novarcharesk

      There are a lot of 'Get Distance Along Spline', and none of them have 'Modulo' in their name. Not very helpful.

      @nilcoireion 3 місяці тому +1

      @@Novarcharesk You would be correct, modulo is an operation, so it would be a couple nodes working together. Just look up Modulo, and use it with "Get distance along spline" and "get spline length"

    If you want very realistic movement, enable root motion on your animations and add the 'Foot Placement' Node to your locomotion system. Very fine movement where the AI even keeps its feet locked in place once it touches the ground

    Great demo. I'm looking for information on how I would use different animations depends on the curvature at the current position of the character on the spline or something like that. So the character motion may look more realistic on hard curves.

    Can you please make a real tutorial on HOW to move a PLAYER/AI Character along a spline? Because this has been asked about in the forums since UE4 (bad methods/links outdated). And your vid is misleading, it is only how to Move a Character PROP along a spline - only good for something to look at in the background or people doing NON game cinematic - because if an AI is on the Spline and sees Player - the AI will keep looping.
    (New people may get false hope, thinking of Player/controllable Character when you say "Character." But your code doesnt handle the Player/AI Controller or transition on/off the Spline.)
    People are getting very frustrated at UA-camrs who make incomplete tutorials that dont teach how to implement the feature or it's bugged.
    E.g. you could perhaps make a Correction video on how he did Move Player Character along a spline: /lDvBGYn-u-E?t=1378
    I did this tut. I added Enter/Exit volumes that lock/unlock the player to the Spline > BPI call from Spline Actor to CharBP (movement code handled in CharBP).
    But the problem is with his code - it fights against the Player's Z movement. At the end of this vid, he said 'this vid is getting too long' - thus he never showed us how to fix the Z fighting. (Meaning if the Spline point is at Z = 100, but the terrain goes up like a ramp or if Player jumps, then as the Player is forced to go Z up, the Spline code fights against the Z. I split the location pin, but Z is still messed up.)
    So it would be helpful if you make a correction vid for 2023. Ty.

Character for Example is falling on a spline to a desired location of your choosing and then in turn at the end of the spline you can control your character. Keep in mind the Thing I solved is for the Player Character not AI/NPC.
