Mantling or vaulting not working

[tepid summit]

I've been trying to have my character detect a wall and be able to get over it with an animation. Heres a video showing what happens when i call the function

The light blue trace is where my new location is supposed to be

[tepid summit]

I have trace

The way I did it was to use root motion with the animation and switch the character movement to flying just before the anim, then switch it back to walking once played. Did some other tweaks as well to get it perfect

When i use root motion it does the same thing but doesnt move me to the location. I just disabled root lock and it gives me this:

Root motion still takes gravity into account, it’s trying to make your actors collision follow the anim but gravity is pulling it down.

[frozen depot]

That’s normal for non root motion, your actor never moves hence why it snaps back

Try either setting motion to flying just before the anim, or set gravity to zero and velocity to zero on the movement component

[tepid summit]

It seems like with root motion my character never moves also it just plays the animation in the same place

Looks like your using the wrong montage node and setting everything back straight away, use one on right

other than that it might be that your anim isn't set up properly idk...

[tepid summit]

I was looking for that node but since i was using a function it wasnt avaliable. Anyways when i use that it just sets the location and doesnt play the animation

[untold sierra]

are you plugging in the reference for mesh in play montage node?

[tepid summit]

Forgot to say I figured it out but my latest problem is that my capsule trace is hitting the air or hitting nothing and setting actor location to previous set location location or world origin

Looks like your anim is working now though 👍 your using a very different trace to me, I sent two line traces forward, 1 slightly above the other. If the bottom trace hit and top doesn’t it sees it as an edge.

You can then use the end location of the top trace to send a third line trace downwards to get an exact location and info for the anim end location if needed.
