Hi everyone!
If you’ve ever tried to recreate the famous Gorilla Tag physics inside Unreal Engine 5, you know how painful it is to deal with Chaos Physics, wall sticking, and hand tunneling issues. Since the official locomotion code is Unity-only, UE5 developers had to build everything from scratch.
To solve this, I’ve just released a fully native C++ / Blueprint Gorilla Mechanics plugin on Fab!
Link to Fab: Gorilla Locomotion
Key Features:
- True Plug-and-Play: Zero setup required. Just create a standard UE5 VR Template, enable the plugin, open the Demo Level, and hit Play.
- Physics-Based Movement: Fully tuned physics for hands-only locomotion (running, bouncing, and climbing).
- Built-in Ice Mechanics: Easily create slippery frozen surfaces out of the box.
- Gorilla Grabbables: Included system for physical item interactions. Just add the “Gorilla Grabable” component to an Actor, and players can grab and throw objects instantly.
- Snap & Smooth Turn: Fully customizable comfort/turning options. Easily toggle between snap or smooth rotation, adjust turning speed, and change angle steps.
- No Tunneling: Solved the issue where fast-moving hands glitch through thin walls.
- Highly Customizable: Easily tweak hand force multipliers, wall friction, and gravity right inside the parameters.
Perfect for anyone making Gorilla Tag fan games or advanced VR physical locomotion systems in UE5.
Feel free to ask any questions or drop your feedback here. I’ll be happy to help and update the plugin based on your needs!
