Project ASR - My First Action Game

[carmine moth]

Hello. This is a proejct I made while studying Unreal Engine for the first time.
I recently discovered this channel, and after seeing the work of others, I wanted to share mine as well.
Feedback is welcome!

@carmine moth this is very clean congrats man for real this is truly impressive!!!

would you ever be willing to teach me or give me tips on where to look for guides on rigging and animating a sword character mesh for ue5

[carmine moth]

Thank you!!
I used an animation set compatible with the UE5 mannequin that I purchased from the Unreal Marketplace. I didn’t do the rigging myself and was able to easily use it through animation retargeting. For any mismatches in the feet or hands, I adjusted them one by one using IK goals.

This could be really fun.

Well done sir. well done

This is nice and so clean feeling! How are you moving the characters back when they get hit?

[carmine moth]

Thank you!!
I use LaunchCharacter function in ACharacter

[dusk sparrow]

I tried that but my hit reactions animations are root motion and it seems they cant be launch while in animation.

Actually looks like it could be lots of fun! keep up the great work!

I experienced the same issue and didn't use Root motion for the guard state hit animation.
Another option is to modify the animation itself to move the Root.

Thanks. Maybe I can use motion warping in my hit animations then.
