How do i create and equipp weapons in ue5

Im new to game programming and unreal engine 5. I am trying to create my first game and have implemented player movement aswell as a character and map on which to play on but I want to create weapons, simple ones to begin with. I can´t find any tutorials or courses on how to do it. Can anyone help me or link a good tutorial? #development-discussion #Multiplayer

You want to actually make the weapons?

To equip them

In fact, why bother with step 1, when you can…

Thank you for the reply, i will try your suggestion. Btw i tried to use the weapons pack you linked but its not optimized for ue5 and therefore i cant use it. Also, im completely new to unreal engine so if its possible to change it i dont know how to. Thanks again!

How do you know it’s not optimized?

You mean it doesn’t say 5 in the details? Doesn’t matter, you can still install it :slight_smile:

Uhhhm ill try again then

huh it worked, Thank you!!!

Yes, it’s just meshes, it doesn’t matter. It’s only with plugins or a lot of blueprint code, you might get tripped up.

so im having anew problem here, currently im at 4:08 in the video to equpp a gun. There is no anim montage to use, how do i turn the aniamtion into an anim montage, i am using an animation from AnimStarterPack
.

Maybe this helps, otherwise it’s google time, I’m afraid…

No, I just re-read it. I think the anim starter pack should be fine, but you may need to find another tutorial.

It’s not really my area, so I’m not sure which one.

i found a fix for it, just had to right click and then create anim. Now im trying to use parent socket, but its locked and i dont know why. its gray and when i click it nothing happens. Btw do you know if there is a discord for ue5 or 4?

Unreal slackers…
