Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you found it helpful. I’ll definitely consider creating more content in this format for other game mechanics. Stay tuned! 🙏
I love your content, Ali!!!! This one made me laugh and smile at how easy it all seems on paper (not that the implementation is difficult but more how its all a "sum of the whole" type of situation)
Now that's what I'm talking about!!! You're really awesome man! I just discovered your channel and I feel like I just hit a gold mine! Thanks for all you do
amazing tutorial as always ! Would be so cool to see your AI breakdown for some video games For example stalker 2 just released, and it has some ai problems, it's also made in unreal 5, it would be really cool to hear your thoughts and what is goin on one of the examples i found in the game, if enemy ai is in a "search" state and you hit them from a distance, they don't react at all, and they are searching in the same direction without reacting to damage, until they finish the search task and go back to idle It's so cool to see this in a huge video game and kinda understand what is wrong and how to fix it :D But yeah i was just thinking maybe it would be a cool format for like live translations or something
Hey, thank you for your kind words and suggestion! 🎮 It would definitely be interesting to analyze AI behaviors in games like Stalker 2. I appreciate you sharing your observations. I have been considering a series called "Lessons learned from popular games" where I play certain games and show what we can learn from their mechanics, even the bad ones. So this fits quite well there. Keep an eye out for that
Its 1 2 : 0 9 midnight here in Florida and I just got notified of this video. I am staying up to watch it. This will also be a focus video for a meeting tomorrow. We have a non-combat project we are fixing to prototype and this is a must watch for the team. It is not combat with weapons, but all of this type of advice will apply to how the engagement mechanics work out. At just 37 seconds in, I know this is going to be a Five Star Video.
Hey! I'm glad you're staying up for the video, and I appreciate your enthusiasm! 🙌 I hope it provides valuable insights for your meeting and project. Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Hi Ali, you have so much valuable and really well done content that I could learn a lot from... thanks for that! Do you ever do showcases where you present my actual game or other games, for example?
Hey! Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it 🙏 As for showcases, I have some videos on my channel of early stages of a very old game I was working on, but I haven't done any showcases recently
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the content! Exciting times ahead with your new PC - I hope you have a great time working on your Unreal Engine projects! 🙌
Wonderful video. Something else that’s a bit more technical but worth exploring is a target softlock system to orient the player towards the closest enemy, and mild(er) knockbacks with distance matching to maintain alignment. Taking control away from the player is generally a bad thing, which is why softlocking is better than regular lock-on systems - you only want it happening when the attack button is pressed, and have player directional input override it so the controlled character doesn’t keep snapping to an enemy if you’re holding another direction. This also depends on the game, but if you’re using linetraces on weapons it’s okay to sacrifice accuracy by replacing them with a larger sphere collider set to toggle on the weapon overlapping anim frames. This is what games like Kingdom Hearts, DMC, and NieR Automata use to make their faster combat feel responsive and satisfying, though linetraces are better if you’re going for a Soulslike.
Hey, thank you for your detailed suggestions! Softlock systems can definitely enhance combat responsiveness, and the ideas you shared about distance-based knockbacks and sphere colliders are really interesting. I actually have a simple lock on system implemented in this project, where the player turns to face the closest target on attack. But I didn't showcase it, as I didn't like how I implemented it
@@AliElZoheiry I'm glad you found it useful! Regarding distance-based knockbacks, they're especially helpful when you have attack combo strings with RM animations that moves the player's position forward as it's easy for the enemy to end up pushed around awkwardly, even with a lock-on system. One quick and dirty way of doing this is to specify a float value for attack types (light, heavy, etc) to move both the player and enemy by the same amounts, so none of the hits in the string end up missing with the enemy being set up for each sequential hit. Elaborating more on the sphere collider, I was pretty surprised finding out that a lot of fast-paced action games just had a large invisible ball in front of the player flashing on and off for a single animation frame at the point of impact instead of checking collisions through the weapon itself. It makes sense when you think of it from the player's perspective though, when playing something like DMC you need the assurance of knowing that pressing a certain button will get a desired outcome - it's extremely unsatisfying to have an attack miss with faster combat systems when you're standing right next to the target, and the linetrace-in-weapon method often used in UE tutorials only tends to be seen in stuff with slower methodical combat, like the Souls games. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, combat is something I'm fairly experienced with but I've learned so much about other areas of UE from your vids!
Ali, I've known you for a very short time but from the videos you've made I can say that you are one of the best unreal teachers around. You are literally amazing and I think I'm gonna support you on Patreon dude! I would like to ask you something hoping that you read the comment and think about making a video about it because I think it would be very interesting for many people: The main dilemma is: Unreal offers many tools to make our ideas concrete, but it doesn't tell us what is the most correct way to build such ideas. Assuming that, how can we optimize the workflow by properly exploiting the unreal tools? What is the best tool or method to use in in a given context? What are the best pratices to always remember? For example: - What is the best way to initially set up a project? - What is the best way to always have with us the variables that we use most frequently without having to call them always in each blueprint? (for example the player reference) - What is the best way to make the blueprints communicate with each other based on the context? (just for example: for raycast is it better to use interfaces? tags? hard references? soft references? event dispatchers? Casting? Actor components? gameplay tags?... in short, how can I optimize the raycast procedure by using as few nodes and calls as possible?) This question of course applies to all the other different contexts, assuming that many games share similar gameplay structures maybe there is an industry standard of "how to make raycasting correctly", following the example). -What is the best way to define parameters of a type of object based on the context? (for example to manage data and parameters of collectible objects, weapons, enemies, player stats, etc... is better to use data tables? Data structures? other methods? - What are the best ways to handle a flow of events in a game? By triggers? By simple communication from blueprint to blueprint? By state machines? And which is the best way to store and call the various variables to handle correctly a game flow? - What are the best tools, principles, methods, good practices to apply in order to optimize Parenting Blueprints? - What are the best tools, principles, methods, good practices to apply in order to optimize Event ticks? - What are the best tools, principles , methods, good practices to apply in order to optimize the project? Thanks for your time, Ali :)
Hey! Thank you so much for your kind words and support 🙏 I really appreciate it! Your suggestions for topics are fantastic and definitely worth exploring. I like the idea of covering workflow optimization and best practices in a video. It could help many people who are starting out. I'll add it to my list! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊
@@AliElZoheiry Many thanks to you for all the amazing stuff you shared us and also for having dedicated few minutes to answer me, I really appreciate that! Keep going dude!
excellent excellent breakdown! I had so many preconceived ideas after watching that initial swing animation and was delightfully proven wrong. If combat doesn't "feel" good then it isn't good. I would love to see your take on the same concept but for movement. What makes movement feel good in games.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I'm glad to hear you found the breakdown helpful 🙏 I appreciate your suggestion, and I’ll definitely consider exploring what makes movement feel good in games for a future video 😊
Hi Ali. We take for granted how important this kind of video can be to a developer. You can have all the knowledge in the world of UEs to create a game, but if it is not fun, it won't do you any good ! In your example, you have demonstrated how to make melee combat come to life. Me personally, I find melee combat to be the most diverse in terms of combat. What would you suggest in a shooter game ? If I were to make 10 steps to make shooter combat feel better, what would they be ? :)
Hey! Thank you for your insightful comment. You're absolutely right about the importance of fun in game development! As for making shooter combat feel better, I would suggest focusing on mechanics like responsive aiming, varied weapon feedback, enemy AI behavior, movement fluidity, customizable settings, sound design, environmental interactions, health and damage systems, player progression, and incorporating unique abilities. Those concepts can really elevate the experience. Let me know if you'd like me to dive deeper into any of these! 🙏
Very good tutorial! Thanks! Just want to ask if the extended video include all the details of how to make all the effects? including the ragdoll effect? I think I will probably pay for the great tutorial!
As a gamer it really matter for me how the combat feels in a game,thank you for making such a useful video. Any chance you could make inventory/crafting/building system tutorial?
Great video! loved the examples and the 3rd attack is just WOW! About Hit-Stop, you are stopping (or slowing down) the whole game's time dilation or just the characters who take part in the hit?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the examples 🙏 As for the hit-stop, In this demo I am slowing down global time, but depends on the game, (if it's not a fighting game, or if it's multiplayer) then I would go for custom time dilation for attacker and attack target only. Hope that clears it up!
man your tutorials make me hype about being a pro game designer! can you please do one about dragon ball z? a character turning into super sayan, aura burst, using charge attacks, working with Niagara tools, etc
I am sure this is helpfull to many. Just keep in mind, sometimes less is more. Interrupting the flow of time or the puls of a fight should be done with caution.
Thank you for your insightful comment! I appreciate your perspective on balancing flow and pacing during gameplay. It's definitely something to keep in mind 🙏
It would be great to see a tutorial on creating a controller for mobile games in 5.5.1, a built-in preview feature (how the game will look on different devices of different phones) and creating a build for Android and iOS devices. There are almost no such tutorials on UA-cam.
Hey! Thank you for the suggestion, I'm more of a PC/Console game dev, I haven't made any mobile games, but if I do enter that world, I'll definitely make such tutorials
A very helpfull video, although during the last years I met many people being concerned about modern games rewarding the player way to much with such effects. Nobody is earning anything today anymore. Of course there are still games to meantion as a positive example: In Yakuza Gaiden, almost all your basic attacks dont have any effects or trails at all. Hit sounds and enemy hit animations are the only feedback and they are decent but not that amazing. But every stronger attack or combo-finisher gets particles and attack trails and special attacks add louder sounds and hitstop-effects and better soundeffects. I really like the "reward progression". For future videos it would be nice, if you would try to show some potentiall problems of such features. For example there was this infamous GDC-talk years ago, about how devs should make guns firing 25 weak projectiles instead of 1 strong or spawning 5 weak enemies instead of 1 strong. I know devs and gamers, who disliked how many junior devs ate implemented these ideas without understanding them. Resultung sometimes in indie shooters with bad FPS due to having too many particles on the screen or only having cardboard enemies.
Hey, thank you for your detailed feedback! You raise some interesting points about the balance between rewarding players and performance concerns in games. It all really depends on the genre of the game. These types of rewards are necessary for action games where the immersion and feeling of power is incredibly important, while other genres might not benefit as much
Nico video, lot of useful tips. But for me personaly Feeback HitStop just make game feel laggy, it can be well used with finishers or as dead eye, but if it is on every hit it looks just wierd
Thanks for your input! I appreciate your perspective on HitStop. It always depends on the type of game and the amount of hitStop. For fighting games, hitstop is pretty much an industry standard, you won't find a fighting game without it, and it never feels laggy, just adds a lot to the feeling of weight of the attack. Also, the feeling of lag is decreased when you only slow down the time of the attacker and their target while the rest of the world moves at normal time, this is also common practice
Hey! Thanks for your suggestion! I won't be doing any video specifically around retargeting, since its not my area of expertise. but I do have videos on attacks and combos as part of my smart enemy AI series
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you found it useful. I'll definitely keep focusing on good practices in my future videos 🙏
The best.... I wish you to become an official EPIC instructor. Can I ask for an AI tutorial that opens doors and above levers and buttons when seeing the player, to create traps if he is not killed in time..🤩
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it 🙏 I'll definitely add your request for an AI tutorial with trap mechanics to my list of ideas for future videos. Stay tuned! 😊
That was a spare, not a strike, 0/10 tutorial. Fr. tho this was amazing and concise, very informative. Could you please show how this would be implemented in a shooter?
Hey! Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you found it informative. I’ll definitely consider doing a tutorial on how to implement this in a shooter. Stay tuned! 🙏
sadly you dont have the time to post enough videos with your quality, no one does.. I was wondering, if you considered doing something about procedural animation ? Love the way you go through things, and even watch videos from you about things I know.. And learn new stuff.. Would love something about procedural animation, since that's something I'd love to learn.. :D
Hey, thank you for your understanding! I really appreciate your support and feedback. It indeed takes a huge amount of time and effort to produce this quality, that's why even 1 video every 2 weeks is a bit of a stretch for me. Procedural animation sounds like a great topic, and I’ll definitely consider it for future videos. Stay tuned! 🙏
Hey this tips helped a lot for better combat for my project. In fact, I've learnt a lot from your AI tutorial so I must say thank you very much. I personally create custom cinematic cameras for my project by using sequence actor components but it's not very handy. I am wondering if there is a way to implement those nice camera work in-game like your example?
Hey! I'm glad to hear my tips were helpful for your project 🙏 For implementing cinematic camera work in-game, I attached a 2nd camera as a child actor to the player character. Placed it where I want, relative to the mesh, and I switch to that camera using the "Set View Target With Blend" function

Any chance you could make inventory/crafting/building system tutorial?
Hey! I'm glad you found the video useful, thanks for your feedback! I'm definitely considering an inventory system tutorial, stay tuned 🙏
You are the best ❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words 🙏
nice strike! Great tips :)
Thanks! I'm glad you found the tips useful. Appreciate your comment! 🙏
perfect timing thank you
You're welcome! I'm glad it was timely for you 🙏
I see Alis tutorial > I press like > I save > I watch!
Haha love the enthusiasm! Thanks for the support 🙏 Enjoy the video!
Great video! loved the examples and the 3rd attack is just WOW!
About Hit-Stop, you are stopping (or slowing down) the whole game's time dilation or just the characters who take part in the hit?
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and the examples 🙏 As for the hit-stop, In this demo I am slowing down global time, but depends on the game, (if it's not a fighting game, or if it's multiplayer) then I would go for custom time dilation for attacker and attack target only. Hope that clears it up!
Actually good video.
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful 🙏
man your tutorials make me hype about being a pro game designer! can you please do one about dragon ball z? a character turning into super sayan, aura burst, using charge attacks, working with Niagara tools, etc
Hey! I'm glad to hear you're feeling inspired! Thanks for the suggestion; I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos 🙏
remove 'constraint ratio' on your camera finisher, it will remove the black stripes on the edge.
Thank you for the tip! I indeed kept it on purpose to frame the attack in a smaller window
Ali is the goat
Thank you! I really appreciate your support 🙏
that's really helpfull, thank you
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful 🙏
This dude needs more attention
Thank you for your support! I really appreciate it 🙏
the last swing feels personal
Haha, it really does feel that way sometimes! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 😄
Nice video!
You're welcome! Glad you liked it 🙏
I am sure this is helpfull to many. Just keep in mind, sometimes less is more. Interrupting the flow of time or the puls of a fight should be done with caution.
Thank you for your insightful comment! I appreciate your perspective on balancing flow and pacing during gameplay. It's definitely something to keep in mind 🙏
Good job thx❤🎉
You're very welcome! Thank you for the support! 🙏

@@AliElZoheiry I´ve learned so much from your videos. The effort you put into the videos is insane. Never stop :D Greetings from Germany.
Thank u!

Can you make a tutorial explaining the Multiplayer System? It would be great to learn from you.
Hey! Thank you for the suggestion. I'll definitely keep it in mind for future videos 🙏
It would be great to see a tutorial on creating a controller for mobile games in 5.5.1, a built-in preview feature (how the game will look on different devices of different phones) and creating a build for Android and iOS devices. There are almost no such tutorials on UA-cam.
Hey! Thank you for the suggestion, I'm more of a PC/Console game dev, I haven't made any mobile games, but if I do enter that world, I'll definitely make such tutorials
A very helpfull video,
although
during the last years I met many people being concerned about modern games rewarding the player way to much with such effects. Nobody is earning anything today anymore. Of course there are still games to meantion as a positive example:
In Yakuza Gaiden, almost all your basic attacks dont have any effects or trails at all. Hit sounds and enemy hit animations are the only feedback and they are decent but not that amazing. But every stronger attack or combo-finisher gets particles and attack trails and special attacks add louder sounds and hitstop-effects and better soundeffects. I really like the "reward progression".
For future videos it would be nice, if you would try to show some potentiall problems of such features.
For example there was this infamous GDC-talk years ago, about how devs should make guns firing 25 weak projectiles instead of 1 strong or spawning 5 weak enemies instead of 1 strong.
I know devs and gamers, who disliked how many junior devs ate implemented these ideas without understanding them. Resultung sometimes in indie shooters with bad FPS due to having too many particles on the screen or only having cardboard enemies.
Hey, thank you for your detailed feedback! You raise some interesting points about the balance between rewarding players and performance concerns in games. It all really depends on the genre of the game. These types of rewards are necessary for action games where the immersion and feeling of power is incredibly important, while other genres might not benefit as much
Nico video, lot of useful tips. But for me personaly Feeback HitStop just make game feel laggy, it can be well used with finishers or as dead eye, but if it is on every hit it looks just wierd
Thanks for your input! I appreciate your perspective on HitStop. It always depends on the type of game and the amount of hitStop. For fighting games, hitstop is pretty much an industry standard, you won't find a fighting game without it, and it never feels laggy, just adds a lot to the feeling of weight of the attack.
Also, the feeling of lag is decreased when you only slow down the time of the attacker and their target while the rest of the world moves at normal time, this is also common practice
gotta love the ballerina enemies
Haha, right? They definitely add a unique twist to the game 😄 Thanks for commenting!
Will you be doing a video on how to import animations and retarget them to a character in UE 5? Maybe even a combo attack system implementation?
Hey! Thanks for your suggestion! I won't be doing any video specifically around retargeting, since its not my area of expertise. but I do have videos on attacks and combos as part of my smart enemy AI series
@AliElZoheiry thank you. Keep up the good work. Great content, well explained.
Great video! Need more videos like this that teach good practice instead of “Make COD in 6 hours”.
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad you found it useful. I'll definitely keep focusing on good practices in my future videos 🙏
6:24 I could hear the excitement in your voice 😂😂
Haha, glad to hear that! I think I did a little bit of an excited scream that my audio recording software removed as noise😄 Thanks for watching!
Could you cover GAS? Gameplay ability system, when it's good to use vs making your own system(s).
Hey! Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely consider covering the Gameplay Ability System in a future video. It's a great topic! 🙏
The best.... I wish you to become an official EPIC instructor. Can I ask for an AI tutorial that opens doors and above levers and buttons when seeing the player, to create traps if he is not killed in time..🤩
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it 🙏 I'll definitely add your request for an AI tutorial with trap mechanics to my list of ideas for future videos. Stay tuned! 😊
انزل امتدلع
great video as always
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Hi Ali, can you make tutorial how AI enemy can try breaking door when player is inside building? I can’t find any tutorial regarding this.
Hey! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll definitely add it to my list of ideas for future videos 🙏
That was a spare, not a strike, 0/10 tutorial.
Fr. tho this was amazing and concise, very informative. Could you please show how this would be implemented in a shooter?
Hey! Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you found it informative. I’ll definitely consider doing a tutorial on how to implement this in a shooter. Stay tuned! 🙏
V/O efforts missing, especially death efforts
Thanks for your feedback! I'll keep that in mind for future videos. I appreciate your input! 🙏
ye this guy knows his shit
Thanks! I appreciate the support 🙏
sadly you dont have the time to post enough videos with your quality, no one does..
I was wondering, if you considered doing something about procedural animation ? Love the way you go through things, and even watch videos from you about things I know.. And learn new stuff..
Would love something about procedural animation, since that's something I'd love to learn.. :D
Hey, thank you for your understanding! I really appreciate your support and feedback. It indeed takes a huge amount of time and effort to produce this quality, that's why even 1 video every 2 weeks is a bit of a stretch for me.
Procedural animation sounds like a great topic, and I’ll definitely consider it for future videos. Stay tuned! 🙏
@@AliElZoheiry that sounds awesome mate.. I'll definitely stay tuned..
5:42 imagine if the cam affected by knockback too lol
Haha, that would definitely add an extra layer of chaos! Thanks for sharing the idea! 😄
Hey this tips helped a lot for better combat for my project. In fact, I've learnt a lot from your AI tutorial so I must say thank you very much. I personally create custom cinematic cameras for my project by using sequence actor components but it's not very handy. I am wondering if there is a way to implement those nice camera work in-game like your example?
Hey! I'm glad to hear my tips were helpful for your project 🙏 For implementing cinematic camera work in-game, I attached a 2nd camera as a child actor to the player character. Placed it where I want, relative to the mesh, and I switch to that camera using the "Set View Target With Blend" function
I don't use unreal engine but these tips were definitely helpful on a universal scale!
Btw what is the game shown at 0:22
Hey! I'm glad to hear you found the tips helpful! The game shown at 0:22 is "Hi-Fi Rush" Highly recommended. It's a rhythm based action platformer!
