Telekinesis | (Part 1: Grabbing Objects) | Unreal Engine 5
YouTube video by DEVenestration

This tutorial is about making a telekinetic/force grab in #UE5. It goes over grabbing actors from a distance, simulating physics with collision control and includes a free overlay for highlighting actors. The next 2 parts will handle throwing actors and characters.

Final draft done! Added a Fresnel material effect & static mesh to better indicate where the player will end up. Pose changes if end point will hit an enemy. Also prevents teleporting if end point can't fit the player mesh & can TP to places out of direct line of sight.

Happy New Year and happy new #UE5 tutorial! Part 2 covers several ways of throwing actors using impulse, projectiles, or lerp to damage enemies and make them ragdoll when hit.

I tested and reviewed the 5.7 combat variant and all its actors. I even fixed a few issues along the way! There's not too much different from 5.6, but it's still covered for those who haven't seen the variant. Turns out, it's a bit janky but otherwise a good start.

Just released a new short range teleport / blink tutorial. Allows tagging to move through objects & actors with only a few traces to check for available space. The project includes an after image Niagara effect (description links to The Epic Singh who shows how to make it).

I made a very simple #ue5 tutorial this week. A beginner friendly interaction for handling different types of keys and using them to open different doors. The full project is simplified down to a few blueprints and annotated. It's also free for anyone who goes to my Patreon.

YouTube sometimes does interesting things like fail to auto-dub a video and then stop allowing me to edit it. So if you haven't seen it, I've reuploaded my last tutorial remaking the Glintblade Phalanx from #EldenRing in #UE5. Tutorial includes sword mesh and Niagara effect.

I made a few tutorials on dashing, but they've all been in straight lines. Now here's one where you can dodge around an actor, keep facing the actor, rotate the camera with the movement and control how far you want to move around the target! Trigger warning: calculus.

I remember having issues early on learning #UE5 with level select tutorials not unloading stream levels or only working with world partition. I made a tutorial for a blueprint that can use both. It also includes a means for the player to unlock levels as they go. Also, widgets!

Really need to get working on thumbnail work, but hey, at least the tutorial series is done. Heavily inspired by Kingdom Hearts this covers almost everything you would need for a lock on system. This is the last part, targeting actors with multiple target points.

This is a overview of a series I've been making on a comprehensive lock-on system. Parts 1-4 (of 6) are already released. It includes a soft & hard lock, target cycling, line of sight and focus targeting. Multi-target actors & enemy info the player HUD is next. Hope you all like it!

I made a tutorial going over prepping and implementing animations for motion warping, how to use motion warping, and applying it to mantling from a ledge grab. I provide an animation to use for the tutorial as well.

I made a tutorial for grapple points with inspiration from Jedi: Survivor and Clair Obscur. A few interesting little things are in it as well such as a proximity progress bar as you get closer to a widget and a Niagara thether with a dynamically set beginning and end point.

Rounding out every way to run on a wall, here's my tutorial for a horizontal wall run. It uses the capsule radius for measurement so it will work with custom characters. It includes a drop off time where the run arcs downwards after a certain point & wall jumping. Enjoy!

I haven't played the new Assassin's Creed, but I wanted to mimic the vertical wall running. So here's a #UE5 tutorial that does just that. It incorporates the ledge grab tutorial from a few months ago + a method to slow down the run the higher you get up the wall. Hope you like.

Here's a tutorial for anyone that's interested in vehicles. We go through changing pawns/characters, blending camera views for cinematic transitions & changing input mappings. We also use a blueprint interface so there's minimum code sitting unused in the player character.

I made a tutorial on how to make a time trial, complete with timer widget and scalability. Use it to make your final level more climactic. Use it as bonus content to unlock cosmetics for players. Use it to incorporate speed runs. Make an entire game around it if you want!

The second part of the ledge grab series is up! Continuing from where the last tutorial left off, it adds a new grab type for a bar. Included is how to animate a shimmy from side to side as well as quality of life improvements and next steps for you to try.
