I figured it out, thanks.
Now I see a confusing amount of files in that folder… I guess I have to find a tutorial for making something with .
i need help plz
i want to have a planet and my character can run on it how do i do that with ninja
thx
how do I recompile engine code?
I’m trying to compile on 4.12.5 and my project has no Xs.h/XS_API files.

Hello!
Check README.txt in the zip file 
****, why you shared your project via mediafire.com, with NinjaCharacterBeta4.zip file, but not with another one git repository at GitHub?
I created a new C++ FPS project in Unreal Engine v. 4.12.5, and called it “Xs” for the sake of simplicity.
I Created the C++ classes in the Engine, and then(since the project was called “Xs”) I simply copied the code from the *.h and *.cpp files included in the NinjaCharacterBeta4.zip to the newly created *.h and *.cpp files in Visual Studio.
I added the extra dependency line in the Xs.Build file, and tried to compile with Visual Studio Community 2015, but I got :

dreyn your errors are caused by missing includes I think. For example
#include "GameFramework/PhysicsVolume.h"
will solve “error C2027: use of undefined type ‘APhysicsVolume’”.
On to my own problem:
I got it to compile on 4.12.0 (constraint of the project I am working on) except for one function I had to comment out:
protected:
/** Called when the collision capsule touches another primitive component */
virtual void CapsuleTouched(UPrimitiveComponent* OverlappedComp, AActor* Other, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, int32 OtherBodyIndex, bool bFromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResult) override;
Otherwise I get:
warning C4264: 'void UCharacterMovementComponent::CapsuleTouched(AActor *,UPrimitiveComponent *,int32,bool,const FHitResult &)': no override available for virtual member function from base 'UCharacterMovementComponent'; function is hidden
Is there something I can do to get to work with the protected function?
Yeah yeah, I didn’t want to waste time with git.
Maybe I deleted too much in the headers when updating code, the Unity builds may be the culprit. Sorry for that, let me know if you find the fix.
UCharacterMovementComponent::CapsuleTouched? Wrong namespace?
Namespace was correct. Discovered the problem though - different function arguments with engine version.
(AActor* Other, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, int32 OtherBodyIndex, bool bFromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResult)
(UPrimitiveComponent* OverlappedComp, AActor* Other, UPrimitiveComponent* OtherComp, int32 OtherBodyIndex, bool bFromSweep, const FHitResult& SweepResult)
@… Thanks for making the class available. Looks cool! A couple of questions thou… the custom gravity direction I can’t seem to get to work… I have a ‘planet blueprint’ where I’m casting to the movement component in order to set the direction as follows:
Also in normal operation (floor matching etc… ) the character gets all crazy… I think its something to do with rotating the character to the camera in it’s blueprint… but I havent dug much yet…
Maybe you have an idea?
Thanks again.
Was a bit worried that dynamic gravity won’t work with my custom root motion controller, but it looks like everything runs great. Thanks!
Try collection of includes in the NinjaCharacterMovementComponent.cpp file:
#include "Xs.h"
#include "NinjaCharacterMovementComponent.h"
#include "GameFramework/PhysicsVolume.h"
#include "GameFramework/GameNetworkManager.h"
#include "Navigation/PathFollowingComponent.h" // @todo Epic: is here only due to circular dependency to AIModule.
#include "Components/DestructibleComponent.h"
#include "Engine/Canvas.h"
#include "PerfCountersHelpers.h"
================================================================================
Well, I hope my blueprint is helpful, make sure you read each popup on each var.
You’re welcome.
I linked my UE4 account with Github, I still get the 404. The post seems to be a little old, what happened to component? where can I get it ?
You have not linked your account properly. The page does not 404 for me.
Hi, I don’t know why I don’t have the ninja character movement
As you can see I have the ninja character c++ class working and I have the character movement but without the ninja part. How can I fix ?
PS: UE4 12.5
I took a look at your github and adapted some of your code to work as a child class of the character movement component instead of directly modifying it. My Z axis motion is still being killed somewhere though and I can’t figure out where. I overwrote any functions with “.Z” in them. Got any ideas of which functions to look at?
Edit: Input acceleration was being constrained in the tick
No idea, the NinjaCharacter must be using the NinjaCharacterMovementComponent, I just placed a NinjaCharacter in a simple level and everything is fine (UE4 12).
My code is currently a child class for any game project, you don’t have to recompile the engine.
Very Cool!
Hope can be integrated into the engine
