Can someone please help make a video tutorial on rollerblading games
or at lest how too make going up and doing air from a Vert Ramp
i have my rollerbladiing animation for skating down but i cant
work out vert airs and going Up - Air - going Down
also tricks would be another video to follow
Hello there @Gaara4000!
That’s quite a complex goal you are setting, let’s see what we can do to tackle it. For starters, there are existing resources to check. The UE community has a guide that teaches how to create a basic skatebording game, which covers the fundamentals, including jumps and tricks:
A few caveats though, it’s mostly based on UE4 (with a section on how to migrate the template into UE5), and air time is a simple physics change. So, this is useful as a starting point, but to setup halfpipes that work like, let’s say Tony Hawk Pro Skate, that’s a different story.
If you were to try setting up THPS ramps using UE physics only, the character will just approach the edge of the ramp, and either lose momentum, fall over, or reach the top and “climb” it.
So, the vertical ramp, and transition from Up > Air > Down, is most likely based on a state machine. Your character is not really jumping, but switching to a different state of movement (Grounded / Airborne / Landing).
This could be done with a box collision placed at the halfpipe’s edge. Once your skater touches the box, standard movement should be disabled, it’s current velocity captured, and the character itself should be launched with said speed the vertical axis. Once velocity runs out, gravity brings the character down, and you can use the same box collision to bridge the edge and send the character back into regular movement.
