Root Motion Locomotion System - Tutorial on UE5

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up and optimizing a root motion-based locomotion system, including input keys, movement mechanics, camera management, and more. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your skills, this video has something for you. 📚 In this tutorial, you will learn: - Managing camera movement, including camera lag and FOV. - Implementing animation blueprints and setting rotation rates. - Calculating character speed using root motion. - Selecting and managing stand-to-move animations. - Usage of animation graphs and blending poses. - Usage of state machines. ⌨️ Input keys: - Press "Space Bar" = Start Jump. - Press "W,A,S,D" = Start to Move. - Press "F" = Hold Weapon. 🔗 Links: Project Files: https://www.patreon.com/posts/107257023 System Document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lVejOjnyAzVVTIBa0tN0C9X8cch-td9GnH8PRPQTsOw/edit?usp=sharing 👇 Follow me on social media: Discord Server: https://discord.gg/ZB7SMbbxQz Twitter: https://twitter.com/LocoDev7701 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/devloco 🎬 Chapters: 0:00 - Introduction 0:08 - Overview of Root Motion Locomotion System 0:21 - Demonstration of Locomotion and Features 0:38 - Input Keys and Movement Mechanics 1:01 - Running and Jumping Animations 1:14 - Weapon Pickup and Turn in Place 2:09 - Camera Management: Lag and FOV Control 2:33 - Setting Up Camera Events 3:12 - Timeline Configuration for Camera Effects 4:08 - Managing Camera Movement 4:48 - Adjusting Camera Lag Speed 6:00 - Triggering Camera Events 6:50 - Animation Blueprint Setup 7:11 - Setting Rotation Rates 8:14 - Using Curves for Rotation Control 10:00 - Enabling and Disabling Root Motion 11:35 - Fixing Character Snapping Bugs 12:00 - Managing Character State Transitions 13:09 - Selecting and Managing Stand-to-Move Animations 15:51 - Configuring Stand-to-Move Event Graph 17:27 - Core Logic and Direction Calculation 19:41 - Calculating Actual Ground Speed 20:58 - Turn in Place Adjustments 22:03 - Detailed State Transition Rules 28:09 - Implementing Weapon Poses 30:02 - Using Layered Blends for Smooth Transitions 30:41 - Final Thoughts and Outro Hashtags: #ue5 #gamedevelopment #unrealengine5 #rootmotion #gamedev
