I'm currently adding my own character to this system because I absolutely love this system. I am using all the same animations that came with the pack, I just retargeted them. Everything works great except one thing. The Get Up function where you enter Ragdoll then leave Ragdoll to stand back up my character breaks. My model does the animation but hes higher off the ground and the animation glitches a little bit. Then when I try to run around after getting up my model sits still and an invisible character runs around. If I enter ragdoll again it snaps back to my model and my model enters ragdoll.. anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

I could use some help. I am struggling to apply my own animations to the turn/rotate in place. I would like to add a gun to the third locomotion state, and I have on just about everything except for that. I have seen multiple suggestions, but I am not sure which to pursue. any advice, suggestions, comments, and help would be greatly appreciated!

Hope this helps!

I am using the Same Character Blueprint that comes with the ALS system. I literally just retargetted my character over and then changed my Mesh to my skeletal mesh and used the retargetted AnimBP and everything works great, just the ragdoll is failing.

I feel like it might be something to do with the UE4 Skeletal Mesh that was implemented with the ALS system being different somehow than the Skeletal Mesh that I use. I mean the skeletons are the same and the Skeletal Mesh is a simple-fresh import so I didn't alter anything.

You have to go into the blueprint and manually choose your retargeted "get-up" animations. Because right now it's referencing the Mannequin's.
I'm not sure if this has to be done with any other ones.
It's because ALS to gives you the option to use a custom get up animation, I didn't realize that earlier xDLast edited by Aumaan Anubis; 08-15-2017, 09:03 PM.

Originally posted by KingTumTum101 View PostHey there. So My best guess is that it has to do with setting the mesh rotation manually. In my system, the mesh rotates independently from the capsule, and its rotation is set from the AnimBP (I found this works better for networked games). Whats most likely going on is the the main mesh is being rotated but the outline mesh isn't. Is is possible to make the outline mesh a child of the main mesh? That way, the outline should follow the main mesh rotation. If that doesn't work, then you might need to set the outline mesh rotation in the AnimBP as well, just like the main mesh is set.
Hope this helps!
Also, I've gone and implemented a 'state 4' that better suits my needs - it's basically state 3 with the rotation simply set to mesh rotation (since I need the anim mesh to face towards the camera for gameplay purposes, so attacks are always aimed forward, it still looks pretty good), but with the 60-degree sprint limit of state 2, but instead of walking and running, I've basically implemented running as its own movement speed state as a middle ground between 'jogging' (which I'm using in place of walking) and sprinting, which only happens when moving forward.
Also, for some reason, rotating/turning in place doesn't seem to be working at all with my copy of the anim BP unless I just use a rotate in place node instead of the rotate method switch. It's quite strange.

The turning in place system uses an anim notify state to call a function within the AnimBP. Its the only part of the system the directly references the AnimBP, and so the reference will need to be changed if using a different AnimBP (or you could create a new anim notify state). Just open up the AnimNotify State, recast to your new AnimBP, and then call appropriate events in the new AnimBP.

Originally posted by KingTumTum101 View PostAlright glad to hear it worked. I wonder why it wasn't rotating with the mesh even though it was a child of it? That's strange. As far as adding new locomotion states, remember that you could also replace the existing ones, modify their logic, or just remove them altogether. They are meant to be placeholders to showcase the flexibility of the system.

And yeah, that was the issue, I added a new cast alongside the old one so casting works with both anim BPs for now.

Kia ora
I'm slowly getting to know what I'm doing. I would like to put the scroll wheel into use so I can use it as a zoom on the char, either from third to first along with the key
press or just as a limited method to change the camera distance for when the Char is in buildings to limit camera clipping or in some case's where you loose sight of the char all together because of a wall
Is this possible with your setup

Hello Mr. KingTumTum101 , i'm currently in a process to meld together a few extensions i have made to the ALS for my work, and i was thinking of the updates of the marketplace project have any important changes worth to implement or i can just go with the "initial" v2 release? I have yet to seen update notes in this forum that would help me decide to whether check out the latest version or i can just go with what i have now.
Would you be so kind to update your first posts to log your changes (at least a one line mention that points to certain areas of the project) so to have a better idea where we are going with the updates (if there was any) ?

Hi! I'm having a small problem here, if I fall from an platform using an animation montage, the AnimationBP, does a strange thing. it's doesn't enter in "fall" state or "jump" state, the bp just doesn't nothing.
I tried add more conditions, but I don't make this work, Anyone had this problem and know the solution?
