I am trying to make player jump in trajectory?

[Kingyeh]

hey, i am new in Unreal Engine 5. I made trajectory projectile by watching this video https://youtu.be/i7zrfN3bJbw?si=cn3GUSgem-UZ0V7b . now i want my player in this all traces and reach last trace. Please anyone help me.

Thank for reading

A somewhat similar example:

Launch character to a target location

I’ve added a couple of bells & whistles, some much needed control, limiters to keep things in check and variables to parametrise it: [Image from Gyazo] The general idea: we generate a spline between us and the click location with the mid point elevated we use a timeline to project a point along the spline over the timeline duration we adjust player velocity so it chases that point closely In short, it’s a glorified rubberband that works surprisingly well. LMB: set landing location Mouse S…

One way or another, if you have a bunch of points, generate a spline and glide the character along it.

Use a spline, add 10 or so points to it, and call a function whenever you determine the trajectory to set it’s points (indexes) to certain locations on the trajectory by using the Set Location at Spline Point node. Then get the Find Location Closest to World Location node (don’t forget to plug your spline into the Target pin and set the Coordinate Space to World) and plug it’s Return Value pin into the New Location pin of the Set Actor Location node. Place the Set Actor Location node after Event Tick. You can place a Gate node before executing it, open it when you trigger the jump and close it once the character’s location is the same with the location of the spline’s last point. Place a Branch node after the execution to detect this condition and plut it’s True pin into the Close execution pin of the Gate node. Also constantly trigger the Add Movement Input node while all of this is happening to actually make the character move along the spline. You can get the last point of the spline by using the Get Location at Spline Point node, connect it to the A pin (the upper one) of a subtraction (-) node, then get your character’s location by using the Get Actor Location node, connect it to the B pin (the lower one) of the same subtraction node, turn the result into a unit vector by using the Normalize node and plug it into the World Direction pin of the Add Movement Input node.

Oh I didn’t realize you already replied @Everynone I guess we posted at the same time!

You were busy building the wall of text! ;p

Yeah I’m on mobile right now so I couldn’t provide visualizations. But I checked out that post of yours on the other topic and it seems epic!
