Well i brought the shotgun bullets together into one hit location , though when he shoots , it shoots off to the side , i want to center it so it hits where the crosshair is.

So I think you need to change a spread. Look into "Shotgun General Settings" for spread min and max.

yea that's what I did , changed the spread to very small like the pistol or assault rifle, though when I shoot those it hits pretty much in center of crosshair. shotgun shoots off the the side of crosshair. I think i changed it here once , under the SK_Mannequin / AO_Mannequin_Shotgun , but it seems to revert back at some point.

Don't change anything in aim offset. It's only for animation of upperbody. Remebmer you can also play with aiming pose per weapon - https://youtu.be/lNaaZ5eXX6k

wow that's really cool . but how can I tell when its aiming (or shooting into) the center of the crosshair? just move it some and test?

Set "Debug - draw aiming trace" to "For One Frame" to see the trace.

hamsterPL could you do a short tutorial on creating an enemy that would be just in an idle mode. An innocent by stander. Thanks.

Ok so i'm a bit lost, how do you get your blueprint node connections in motion like that , like in your video? when I select the effector shotgun aiming node , the arrow gizmo pops up at his feet but does nothing. If I make any changes in that node in the fields it doesn't change aiming at all.

Just set AI 0 ammo, disable infinite ammo and in random right mode set probablity to 0 for movement and going to cover.

Select a node like on video, in viewport you will see 2 controllers. You can select each of them (by selecting of them first) to tweak a pose.

Something must have changed , maybe because I change character. Selecting any of those nodes doesn't activate the connecting node lines and only throws that gizmo at the character feet and doesn't do anything.

Graph flow doens't go through node so that's why it's not changing. Enable "Aiming" flage in graph preview editor for example, so flow will go through node.

hamsterPL Would you do a tutorial on using a Mixamo character and make it into an enemy? The enemy could be just be in idle mode. No gun.

ok so I enabled aiming and now the pistol node graph flows and I can adjust it like in your video. but only the pistol nodes work. Pistol is fine , its just shotgun I need to change , but shotgun nodes don't flow. how do I get shotgun nodes to flow so I can adjust just shotgun aiming? For this node I guess.

Look for variable current weapon in anim blueprint.

Well it would be the same as Paragon. What about tips that I gave you last time? Setting ammo to 0 and so on? Did it worked?

Hi, I wonder how can I make de enemy AI to hear my character when moving? By default the AI doesnt hear the player, just the gunshots.

[razmaz51]

no matter where I aim , the aiming trace is in the center of the crosshair, when I am up close to wall , bullets hit below crosshair and if I am farther back bullets hit up to the right of crosshair., I found the current weapon variable and changed the shotgun aiming pose , but doesn't really seem to change bullet hit location.
