Q & A

在视频中提到的RPG系列教程是关于什么的？

视频中的RPG系列教程是关于如何在游戏开发中设置角色的教程锁定系统和翻滚系统，以便在战斗中锁定敌人并进行躲避操作。

为什么在角色蹲下时胶囊碰撞体会出现问题？

当角色蹲下时，胶囊碰撞体的高度没有相应减小，导致角色模型与地面发生穿透，这是因为胶囊组件的高度没有根据角色的蹲下动作进行调整。

如何调整胶囊碰撞体以适应角色的蹲下动作？

通过在第三人称蓝图中调整胶囊组件的高度值，当角色开始蹲下时减小高度，当角色站立时恢复到原始高度。

为什么角色在蹲下时会感觉动作很突然（Snappy）？

这是因为胶囊高度的立即改变导致的，可以通过启用相机滞后（Camera Lag）和调整相关参数来使相机移动更加平滑。

如何实现目标锁定功能？

通过在第三人称输入动作中创建一个新的输入动作，使用球体追踪（Sphere Trace）来检测前方的敌人，并在检测到带有'damageable'标签的敌人时锁定目标。

如何取消目标锁定？

在目标锁定的逻辑中添加一个条件检查，如果目标锁定变量为空，则取消锁定，允许玩家自由控制相机。

视频中提到的翻滚动画是如何实现的？

通过导入特定的翻滚动画资源，并在第三人称角色蓝图中创建一个新的输入动作来触发这个动画，同时确保在动画播放期间不能进行攻击。

如何避免在攻击过程中执行翻滚动作？

通过检查攻击系统组件的'is attacking'属性，如果角色正在攻击，则不允许执行翻滚动作。

为什么需要设置一个'not dodging'的变量？

为了避免角色在执行翻滚动作的过程中再次进入翻滚状态，需要一个标志变量来表示角色当前是否正在翻滚。

如何使翻滚动画的过渡更加平滑？

通过在动画蒙太奇（Animation Montage）的Blend Out设置中使用Cubic曲线，并调整Blend Out时间来实现更平滑的过渡效果。

为什么有时目标锁定会失效？

可能是因为追踪通道（Trace Channel）设置不正确，改为使用'Physics Body'而不是'Visibility'可以提高检测的准确性。

what's up guys welcome to new unview

engine 5 tutorial today we'll go ahead

and continue on with the RPG series

we'll go ahead and set up the tutorial

lock system so we can lock the camera

into the enemy while we are you know in

combat and it will just enable us to

have a bit of less worries when we are

fighting and so on and also we'll go

ahead and set up a Dutch and roll system

so we can dodge your enemy to the right

to the left and so on it's gonna be a

very easy build for so let's get started

all right so the first thing that we are

going to go ahead and do is basically do

one thing that you guys have

um comment me and also let me know in

the Discord and right now basically when

you go ahead and Crouch and your capsule

uh collider doesn't go ahead and Shrink

so let's say that I was going ahead and

getting this thing over here I'm gonna

duplicate real quick you don't have to

do this okay guys this is to Showcase uh

what I'm saying right now

and make it let's say like this uh so

right now I cannot pass but if I'm

Crouch okay that's a bit too low maybe

like this so like this of course I

cannot pass but if I crouch I should be

able but I still cannot pass and this is

because of the capsule component so we

have to go ahead and basically decrease

so let's go into the third person

blueprint over here okay and we can also

go ahead and you see it real quick

if I enable capsule component so we can

see it right when we play the game so

come on look let me go into the viewport

and if you select the capsule component

over here I can go into details and

search for the hidden in game and use it

safely so now you will see it on game as

you can see so basically when I crouch

you can see that it still is like with

the height of what the normal player

would have and of course we don't want

them we want to go ahead and change it

depending where Crouch or not

so let's go quickly into the event graph

I'm gonna go into our Crouch and you can

see that we have all our stuff over here

and basically we have to go into here

basically when we start crouching so

let's get all this right over here so

basically uh from the camera and also

the sprinting

let's get to this and put a bit to the

right so we have some space so basically

let's go ahead and get our capsule

component and the value that we have to

change is this so set

uh half height and this is basically the

height so now we can just plug this here

plug this here copy paste this plug this

here and plug this here beautiful okay

let's put this over here so we can save

it better and great you can now put this

here it's a bit better

okay so right now the uh capsule height

The Hub height is 90. so let's say that

of course when we go and exit our

crouching we need to set it back to 90.

but when we start crouching let's set it

to around let's say 40. okay and now

you'll see that the capsule with the

crease and also yes I need to connect

the capsule component to the node

because I duplicate it okay so now you

will see that when I crouch the capsule

indeed goes ahead and shrinks but

basically there are a few problems and

it's first of all 40 is to low and then

our character is going through the

ground and so on and you know there are

many reasons on why this is happening if

you go here you can see that if I put it

into 40

exactly the feet will be on the ground

and this is not really what we want so

what we have to do is find a middle

point so let's say 50

16

5 I think will be kind of the point over

there so let's head to let's do 60 okay

let's go put it back to 90 of course and

then let me close to these steps and

open again the event graph

uh this is a big cleaner

this year okay let's go and put this

around 60 we said so now of course we

can go ahead and Crouch but if we have a

problem and is that of course our um

oh we have two problems as our mesh is

going through the ground and then also

it's very Snappy there's a snap as you

can see

um so there are a few things that we can

go ahead and change over here first of

all let's quickly go ahead and resolve a

bit of the

um snappiness so what we can do is

enable camera lag and it's just

basically making the camera movement

much smoother as it will add a nice

interpolation with a small delay in in

its movement so we're going to the

camera boom and we search for a lag you

will see here enable a camera lag so if

I enable this and compile you will not

notice a huge difference when we play

the game right on but if I crouch now it

is not so snobby I don't worry we'll

increase the less snappiness in a second

we'll fix one more thing we'll basically

do this slowly now directly set the

height but just to show you a bit how

the camera like works if I put this

value into let's say instead of 10 1

and go here you can see that now it

takes much more for a camera to follow

the player so basically it's just making

things smoother depending on the spot

the higher the quicker it will be so

around 10 works pretty good honestly I

like it and also our movement in our

game will be also smoother as you can

see like it's just a bit smoother it

gets a bit better and also we can just

increase it maybe a bit let's put it to

12 you know you can play with the

settings and so I think it's 12 will

work pretty good and then also when we

Crouch it's less Snappy but still it is

a bit Snappy so we have to go ahead and

also fix that but then also in our half

height we have to change this because

right now if we put this instead of 90

to 60

okay a smaller but then we'll have to

increase our height so we have to put it

back into here right until the the foot

over here so what we can do is just add

30 because it's just basically the

difference between the two so we can

just add an offset of 30 inter mesh when

we change let's go back into the van

graph and right after this is put once

again our camera movement well uh

distance over here

and we're gonna get our mesh and

basically we're gonna use a note which

is ADD offset it's gonna be a local

offset okay it's a pretty big note but

we're only going to use one more thing

which is here so in 30 so in the set at

30. and then I'm going to do the same

copy and paste it

but

over here and now plug in the mesh and

then this will be minus 30 because we

want to subtract it and now you will see

that when I crouch it is correct and

also I forgot to put this back into an

idea at the start sorry about that for

this 90 there we go

and then you can see that now it is

correctly but there's still this uh

snappiness into it so now also I will be

able to go through great pretty pretty

cool as you can see and then when I'm

like this now so that's exactly what we

want great so now I want to do is

basically slowly with also a timeline

changes value

so again this is very messy so let's go

ahead and make some space into it so

let's get all this and just put a bit up

so we can put this one a bit up and the

basically move this one here we go

because there's a lot of things going on

let's get this move it here

this here

and the Sears are about this guys but we

need to do some cleaning because holy

crap this is pretty

messy right now here okay

uh much better great so we have to add

some timeline into this too so just go

ahead and right click add

timeline over here and then this will be

the uh capsule

something like that let's go ahead and

double click to enter it and now it's

gonna add a float and this is gonna be

our new height

okay it's gonna be a flow track and now

we want to set the length to be let's

say how much does this take in the other

cam it is one second all right so we'll

do the same let's put it well actually

let's do 0.5 because I think it's gonna

be better so let's put 0.5 and then add

a key the first key let's selected and

put the time to be zero as it will be

restored and the value as zero but then

let's add another key and this time the

time will be at 0.5 which is where it

ends and then the value I won and then

you will see that it will just go uh in

a linear equation here

so we can just now go ahead and play

this from the start

right actually before we set our capsule

height so move this a bit and let's get

this front plate from start and then on

update we'll go ahead and put this here

basically both of these ones the things

that we don't want to also basically do

all this in the update because this is

basically separate

so we want to do is from here do a

sequence

and yes the first one will go from here

but the second one will go all the way

to here to the branch so we don't have

to do anything in there so double click

put the serum

and put this one here

so yeah extremely messy

but we don't have a lot of room

um but but there we go we can make it a

bit better great

so that's what I'm going ahead and

working

um and now from this we need to do

exactly the same another sequence

the this one will go into the reverse

okay now for Matt let's just reverse and

this one will just go straight into the

branch and now we can disconnect this

one okay because if not

it will go ahead and do so there and yes

I just forgot we can just delete this

both ones over here uh no this one

because now if we do the reverse it will

go back into Norm so great everything

going crazy crazy good uh so let's get

the height and let's do a lurk and

you'll see a float lurp so now we can

hold Ctrl and move the a into the alpha

so now we can transition between two

values which in this case will be from

90

two

um 260. and now we can just plug that

into the half height capsule and then

we'll need to do the same with the local

offset so we're gonna get another lerp

blurp float and then the mode into the

alpha with control the first point will

be uh yes 30 and then it's going to be

minus 30.

and I'm gonna plug that into there but

we need to right click in here and split

it so we can just put it into the set

axis

and that should work exactly like it is

always but with a nice

okay so you can see the capsule is good

but the uh is incorrect we don't have to

basically add a local we have to

transition between new two sorry so now

in the mesh

we can just do set I was a location

set relative location for the image okay

I added two meshes okay we're going to

delete this one because now it's not

adding now it's just setting because

it's better for us again right click

split it and put it on the Zed but now

we have to manually find the position so

at the start of will be minus 89

so let's plug that in here minus 89. and

then the second one will be basically I

was a plus 30. so it will be a minus 59

okay so minus 59 there you go a lot of

calculations here but there we go so now

there you go we have a smooth transition

between the two

ah okay

thankfully okay sorry about that guys if

I confuse some of you guys I was mainly

because it was a bit of a spaghetti gold

there but basically let me real quick

recover it so basically until here we

are making a sequence so it will just do

the same of the camera it will just

continue like normal okay nothing will

go ahead and change

but

um in the in the first one here it will

do the new thing so basically we're

doing a small transition here and we're

getting this a transition from 90 to 60

and we are setting this new height so

slowly it will do it and then in here

we're basically changing from this

location instead which is the normal one

into the new one basically I'm applying

it for mesh and then one is in the not

crouching we will just do it from the

reverse because it will just go you know

to the other values and then here we

just continuous normal to the camera so

yeah sorry about that but done we can

move on into the target lock template so

let's go ahead and do so but let's

create a new input so let's go into the

third person inputs and then actions and

now we can just go ahead and right click

go into input action it's going to be EA

underscore and then here we can say uh

it's going to be

um Target lock

and we don't have to even open it you

save it and close it great let's go now

to the collection and on here we can add

it so new mapping and this will be our

and Target lock and then we're gonna

assign a key in this case we can select

it and say tap okay let's say that with

tab we can go ahead and entire lock of

course you can choose whatever key you

want let's close it and now we can just

go down over here into the blueprints

let's find a nice space right over here

let's say on the Sprint team right click

it's going to be e a underscore Target

lock the first one with the arrow here

and basically in startup we can start

making our calculations so we want to do

is make a sphere Trace

by Channel basically this would use

great and invisible right cast and

movable sphere

um forward okay well right now not

forward but we'll set it so it's forward

so the starting point will be actually

from the camera so let's get the full

camera and then say get weld location

and now you can plug that into the start

over here

great now the end point will basically

be well let's get the rotation okay the

world rotation and let's get the forward

axis basically where the camera is

looking at and now we can use multiply

this value by a number so it's going to

be the distance that will be able to

detect an enemy but we have to right

click over here and convert this into a

nice float a nice number and in this

case it will be let's say around 500.

and now we need to do is get this and

just add this into this so we'll get the

direction and this will be the end point

so the certain point will just be in our

camera and the endpoint will be 500

um of distance in front of our camera

and then the radius let's set something

as

125. first you can play with the

settings once we have it going on and

then the the bug type let's say it's

gonna be for duration so we can preview

it so naturally we can start proving it

if I compound and go here I can press

Tab and you can see this um sphere so

this is where the uh

it will detect the enemies so if I go

here I will say Tab and then if it

detects the enemy it will go there

so great uh everything is going ahead

and working so now we need to go ahead

and just make sure that we have hidden

something so if we have hit something we

can now get the out hit and break it so

we can get all the details about the

object so we want to get the hit actor

and make sure that it has the tag

damageable

which is the one that we create for the

enemy in this case just the dummy so

let's go ahead and just check if it's

spell like that Ctrl e to open the dummy

and now we can go into the class

defaults and search up attack and then

is this one damageable so I'm just going

to copy and paste this is the same

spelling just in case but it should be

completely fine so ever any tag that has

this any actor that has a stack will be

able to Target lock into it so it's

gonna be cool and very Dynamic so get

the uh out here and make another Branch

this will be a separate Branch over here

great so

uh now want to do is basically tire lock

into that one so let's save the hit

actor into a variable right click and

then promote to Bible and this will be

the actor

to Target lock okay and now oh just said

over here in the true so if this is true

okay it has the tag damage book we want

to go ahead and set it as a new variable

great so now we can compound and save so

now we will detect our enemy and save it

in a variable but of course nothing more

we'll go ahead and have him

so we need to do now is go into the van

tick and do so some things over there

let's go here and move all that and to

the right which is actually in a stamina

but it's okay we'll move in later on and

make a sequence so we'll do the stamina

things over here and then another point

we'll do our basically our um our new

stuff so let me just wrap it a bit let's

proceed to comment it it's going to be

Target lock let me put the T

go and let's apply our preset over here

great so this is basically perfect

um so in here what we can do is now make

sure that we have a a an actor tutorial

lock if so basically we are Target

locking so let's get the actor and let's

right click and convert this into a

validated kit so basically if it's valid

it means that this variable has our

actor that we have just detected saved

on so if it's true basically we need to

start lock so we want to do is basically

get the controller

okay and to get the control and now we

need to do is set the control rotation

so this will basically set up and

override the whole rotation of the of

our player

so now the new rotation will be

basically a find local rotation the

starting point will be our current

location so get actual location but our

destiny our Target will be the actor

location of

our enemy so now we can just plug that

into Target I know this is very messy

right now because overlapping with our

code let's put it here great that's a

bit better we'll move the advantage

later on

um so now if we compile you will see

that actually it should be working so if

I go here and press tab

and I get a bit closer I need to change

the distance you can see then I I cannot

move with my mouse the camera but it

will be tire locked into the enemy great

so now we need to do some more things

first of all you notice that it was the

camera was very down so then that we can

do is basically apply an offset so let's

go and break this pin and right click

and split it on both of them

okay and then actually we don't have to

split it so you can just drag this and

basically subtract it so we're gonna

subtract an amount of distance let's say

Indie said 100. so basically now the the

thing will be upper and also let's

increase a bit the distance

so let's say a thousand

pretty far away we're gonna be able to

detect our enemies let's go here press

tab

I think it's collating with something

else huh

okay sorry about that

um

yes I think it's colliding it should be

touching only the damageable

um and it has ignore itself so I don't

really know

why it's not detecting him there we go

now I don't know what happened but hey

now the camera is basically more up in

the sky so it's easier for us to go

ahead and see the enemy and so on and

it's easier to us for attack it will be

already pinned into the center of him

great so now we need to go ahead and

well do the opposite be able to unturn

your lock let's go here into the starter

we can get a branch

and

and sorry not a branch but we can just

get director here and then right click

and convert to valid again so basically

plug it here and if it's not valid it

means that this bamboo is empty we have

not a third lock to go ahead and unlock

hunt so we just want to do the

calculations but if we already have one

on we want to go ahead and get this

third lock and set it to be nothing

empty so now basically we will not be

able to continue to tire lock because in

Advantage it will detect that is empty

so if I try a lock as you can see I'm

sorry locking but when I press tab again

I will go ahead and be free and then I

can go and Target lock to him if it

takes I don't know why something's

detected or not but now we can go ahead

and try log again great so everything is

working and

um

I think it's colliding

with myself honestly

which is pretty strange anyway I'm gonna

also turn on the capsule component to

not be hidden in game because that's a

bit yes

um

and the swords should not have any

Collision but it's weird because

basically we have ignore self on so I

don't know why it's not sometimes not

detecting

see it's like

it's like making two different ones

strange but anyway

huh

oh you know what is the trace Channel

which is set to visibility let's go

quickly into here into our dummy

let's Ctrl e

and let's go into the capsule component

and basically if we open collection

presets you'll see okay visibility is

set to block

and the mesh itself

is set to block so it should always

detect it

so

okay now they type the person okay

anyway you can go ahead and right now

tire lock in our enemy also motion warp

into it okay so now there's only one

more thing left in this video and

basically it is the Dutch so again I

have left the animation in the

description is go ahead and load it from

Google Drive it's again from the RPG

template from epic games totally free I

just extracted this animation so it's

easy for you guys and it's good go ahead

and grab it and just drag it into the

content browser but first let's go ahead

and open the folder so everything is

organized let's go to characters RPG

character animations and now let's go

ahead and create a new folder it's going

to be Dodge and underscore Raw

let's go and open this and now we can

just drag it into here so the skeleton

will be the normal SK mannequin the ue51

and now we're going to say in Port all

and now we have the animation here so

you can see if we open it you can see

the motion warping happening and we need

to go under here and say enable root

motion and also force uh root block

great so now we need to go and create a

new input so we can play it so let's go

into the third person character input

and actions and just go ahead and right

click and create a new

reset input action EA underscore and

this will be basically this Dodge

we don't have to do anything we just

need to go into collection and I'll add

a new mapping in this case it will be

basically Dodge and let's say it's going

to be for example X

the thing is that we have control and

shift already for motion voting

and also crouching so we'll see later on

the series will arrange our keys better

of course and if we will also add a

mapping for controllers which is really

the best gaming is to play an RPG so I

will also add that and we better anyway

we can go back now into the third person

character

and let's go down over here entire lock

so again the a underscore is going to be

in this case

um

Dodge okay with the arrow and in started

we'll go ahead and say play a name

Montage okay great so now we have to

create an animation Montage so let's go

back into our animation that we have

just imported in here in the Dodge well

just right click into it create an image

we can leave the name like this go here

and just plug it in great so now we'll

play the animation each time that we

press the key

but we only want to do it uh basically

we want to do it even though we are

attacking so maybe I am attacking

and I want to go ahead you can see how

it look cool looks

um and basically

you know Vault so both no but Dodge okay

so uh the thing is that if not if I am

in middle of an attack you will see

and I vote not voice but Dodge you can

see that I cannot longer attack so

basically we need to detect if we are

attacking and if so can't sell the combo

so we need to go ahead and just get this

and make a branch and we're gonna go and

get our attack system component and then

say get is attacking

and if it's not attacking it will

directly go into the enemy Montage but

if it is attacking we need to get this

and do stop combo

and put it in true basically in between

great so that's pretty much it

so what we have to do

and

um

and that's it so now we can go ahead and

attack and I can dodge and then continue

to attack perfectly great

so now I can go ahead and tie a lock to

the enemy you can go ahead and start

fighting and then you can go and Dodge

cancel my attack move back here attack

Dodge in all directions go back here

Dodge and continue attacking great now

things like I can interrupt my Dutch and

looks pretty weird as you can see let's

quickly go ahead and make a variable

coach called not catch code and it's

dodging

and basically I need to change this code

to be instead of play and a montage play

animation

uh play Montage just play montage

hold Ctrl to get all the pins and mode

here and then let's plug in the Dodge

again so things like this node as

difference compared to the other one it

will have different outputs for when the

animation is completed also get the mesh

and drag it into this cartoon mesh so it

will play in that mesh out there so when

it's completed we'll get inside it's

touching to be false but when it started

we will set is touching two

through

and then as you start we will go ahead

and make sure that

um

make another branch

and make sure that we are not touching

so let's get touching and it's not

Boolean great so we cannot Dodge and

Dodge while we are dodging okay so now

you can see it's great I cannot do what

I was doing before great really good

stuff over here uh let's go into

characters would be character animations

go back into the Dodge row let's open

the Montage I just wanted to do the

final thing let's go into the blend out

and let's put this on cubic and let's

put around 0.4 seconds

basically it will just make the blending

out a bit smoother as you can see okay

this makes it a bit smoother

and uh there we go

so this one more thing that I want to

look is that sometimes you know it

doesn't it takes in the enemy for some

reason very strange reason

so I'm gonna go back into the entire

lock and instead of doing a sphere

trades by Channel I'm gonna make a

sphere

oh

and sphere trades for Optics it's pretty

pretty much the same thing but instead

of giving us Adventure detecting uh the

object by a channel it will just detect

the object by the object types let's

hold it uh code control move this down

hold Ctrl move this down hold Ctrl move

this down and hold Ctrl move this down

hold Ctrl move this down hold on

move this down if it doesn't crash while

okay well just plug the end point here

and the radius 125 and then the debug

type for duration let's go ahead and

just move it down because we don't need

it right now

let's put it up let's get object types

and say make array so now we can select

and in our case it will be pawns because

normally in Unreal Engine all the

characters are Pawns in our case it is

and it will continue to be so so pawns

and uh that's pretty much it so let's

see if that's gonna fix it hopefully and

it didn't it it made it worse basically

um

so maybe

Okay so

yes it's a pawn right

let's make it uh well maybe it's a

physics body because it changed

in a second guys

yes so it is a physics body if you can

try a pawn if it doesn't work physics

body and the reason is that we have it

so our mesh it has basically a physics

body in it that's really I mean the

capsule component is like a pawn kind of

but whatever reason uh but now it should

always work yes good good good

so now the combat should be way more

fluid as you can see

and and yes

okay

good

and also our crouching it is way

smoother

go here

there we go
