I really like how you explain all and the pacing for each part. I would like to see a continuation of this same topic showing other animation states like shooting and reloading. It could be nice to see these topics as a second part with the same style you already did here. Great work, thanks for sharing it!

[@tareqgamedev]

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. To handle shooting animations, more advanced techniques like aim offset with IK are necessary if we want the shooting to feel good, for reloading it's not that hard, if we have a reloading animation we can use IK to place the player's hand on the clip while plying the animation to create realistic reloading. I'm currently working on an advanced locomotion series in Unreal Engine, with the first part already uploaded. In this series, I'll cover advanced topics such as aim offset with IK. In the future, I also plan to discuss shooting and weaponry systems including reloading. I recommend following this series, even if you use Unity, as the principles are the same.

Thanks for the quick response! I'll be checking your next posts.

This tutorial is really awesome and great and it helps beginners a lot ❤ i have much experience of unity now a days but still the IK feels like blender's Geometry nodes, both are really much tough as think but you breakdown this in so easy way thank you so much ❤

[@tareqgamedev]

You're welcome. I am happy you found the tutorial helpful.

Nice video. I would like to see how you do the inventory system too.

[@tareqgamedev]

Thank you! I initially planned to create a series on inventory systems, but when I looked it up after uploading the video, I found numerous tutorials on inventory systems in Unity. Therefore, I decided not to create another inventory series. I am currently working on a comprehensive series about a locomotion system in Unreal Engine 5 and C++, covering basic movement, and advanced topics like turning in place, leaning, and more, which takes a huge amount of time and effort, and I am not even sure when I will upload the first video, so maybe in the future, I will consider creating a new series focused on implementing an inventory system. Thank you again, and I'm glad that you found the video helpful.

Thank you very much for the tutorial. I don't mind the voice but it is hard to work out what you are clicking on without mouse visuals. I can't work out how to get aiming to work in game so I can alter the hand position

[@tareqgamedev]

Hi @drr1867. I'm glad the tutorial was helpful for you. You're right, I forgot to turn on the mouse capture while filming the tutorial. I'll make sure to turn it on in the upcoming videos. As for aiming, I'm not sure exactly what issues you're facing. Did you try aiming the same way I did in the video? I know I didn't explain the upper layer animation part as the video was getting too long, but I did everything in the video, so maybe you could slow down the video and follow along. Additionally, could you explain more about the issue you faced while implementing aiming so I can help you better?

its really difficult to listen to the AI voice - i would rather have some poorly translated piece with a heavy accent.

[@tareqgamedev]

Thank you for your comment. I understand your concern. Moreover, the video has a translation that you can turn on and follow. I will try to change the AI voice to something more clear in the future.

​@@tareqgamedevIt's not so bad.
