WEBVTT 00:06.820 --> 00:07.850 Welcome back. 00:07.870 --> 00:10.150 Now our ability draws a debug sphere. 00:10.180 --> 00:10.780 Great. 00:10.810 --> 00:13.360 We've seen enough of those in our lives, haven't we? 00:13.390 --> 00:19.110 We want to play a montage, which means our ranged attackers need an attack montage. 00:19.120 --> 00:22.510 So why don't we go and see what assets we have? 00:22.540 --> 00:28.750 We're going to go into assets, enemies, goblin animations, slingshot. 00:28.750 --> 00:31.120 And here we have a few things. 00:31.120 --> 00:32.680 We already have the hit React. 00:32.710 --> 00:39.680 Here's an attack slingshot animation and here's what it looks like now without a slingshot in its hand. 00:39.700 --> 00:41.320 It doesn't look like much, does it? 00:41.320 --> 00:47.020 But we're going to make this look like something very convincing for this little guy. 00:47.050 --> 00:52.360 We're going to make an attack montage for this, so let's do it. 00:52.390 --> 00:57.670 Now we are going to want root motion, so I'm going to scroll down and make sure enable root motion 00:57.670 --> 00:58.430 is checked. 00:58.450 --> 00:59.490 It is. 00:59.500 --> 01:06.430 So now I'm going to right click on the attack animation, go to create, create anim montage and call 01:06.530 --> 01:12.340 this aim underscore attack goblin slingshot. 01:12.410 --> 01:14.720 So we now have an attack montage. 01:15.050 --> 01:18.680 Now our attack montage needs a couple of notified tracks. 01:18.680 --> 01:24.110 We are going to want to do motion warping so it orients in the correct direction. 01:24.110 --> 01:30.740 So I'm going to rename the first notify track to motion warping and add another notify track called 01:30.740 --> 01:31.550 events. 01:31.730 --> 01:38.060 And for motion warping, I'm going to make a motion warping notify state, right click, notify state 01:38.060 --> 01:46.910 motion warping and I'm going to have him rotate from the beginning to just about before letting go of 01:46.910 --> 01:48.340 the slingshot pouch. 01:48.350 --> 01:49.570 So about there. 01:49.580 --> 01:50.870 So pretty quick. 01:50.870 --> 01:57.290 And we do need to expand root motion modifier and change warp target name to facing Target. 01:58.040 --> 01:59.630 That's our warp target. 01:59.660 --> 02:01.760 We're not going to warp translation. 02:01.760 --> 02:07.450 We're going to scroll down and make rotation type facing and we have motion warping. 02:07.450 --> 02:14.680 Now we need to decide when we're going to launch our projectile and that's going to be just about here. 02:14.710 --> 02:21.310 We're probably going to tweak this once we implement having a slingshot, but we're going to right about 02:21.310 --> 02:24.190 where we let go of this slingshot. 02:24.190 --> 02:32.260 So about right here, when that hand goes back, right, right about here, that's where I'd like to 02:32.260 --> 02:33.730 launch the projectile. 02:33.730 --> 02:41.140 So I'm going to right click on my events track, add, notify and Montage event, select that, and 02:41.140 --> 02:44.530 we're going to want to set that event tag. 02:44.530 --> 02:48.250 And the event tag is going to be montage attack. 02:48.250 --> 02:53.860 And we're going to choose weapon because we want the socket on our slingshot weapon. 02:53.860 --> 02:58.090 And the socket on the slingshot weapon is going to be its pouch. 02:58.090 --> 03:01.810 So we're going to choose montage attack weapon like. 03:01.810 --> 03:09.620 So now we know that we have an array in our base character class that is a tagged montage. 03:09.620 --> 03:16.700 In other words, we link up the montage with this event tag so we choose the correct socket. 03:16.700 --> 03:18.500 So we do need to do that. 03:18.530 --> 03:23.420 Now that's going to be in our Goblin Slingshot blueprint. 03:23.420 --> 03:30.200 So we need to go into content, blueprints, character Goblin Slingshot and open that blueprint. 03:30.230 --> 03:33.530 I'm going to go ahead and open the full blueprint window. 03:33.530 --> 03:39.440 And here we need to search here for attack and we have attack montages. 03:39.440 --> 03:46.580 I'm going to click plus add an element to that and select my goblin slingshot attack montage, aim, 03:46.580 --> 03:48.350 attack, goblin Slingshot. 03:48.350 --> 03:54.200 And for the montage tag, we're going to go to Montage Attack and Choose Weapon. 03:54.200 --> 04:01.160 So now that that is set, we now have the ability to play an attack montage and then retrieve the correct 04:01.160 --> 04:04.610 socket that corresponds to that attack montage. 04:04.610 --> 04:10.880 And that way we can spawn something from the socket and the socket is going to be on the slingshot. 04:10.880 --> 04:15.140 And by the way, the slingshot does have a socket if we select our weapon. 04:15.560 --> 04:17.480 And we browse to it. 04:17.510 --> 04:19.910 Here's the skeletal mesh for the weapon. 04:19.910 --> 04:23.480 And the weapon has a socket called pouch. 04:23.480 --> 04:27.650 And believe it or not, this pouch can move. 04:27.650 --> 04:34.610 And we actually have weights skinned on this slingshot, which is pretty awesome because we're going 04:34.610 --> 04:40.550 to want to stretch that thing out and make it look like our slingshot flings forward. 04:40.550 --> 04:46.270 In fact, our slingshot has a slingshot attack animation, which is doing just that. 04:46.280 --> 04:51.950 It looks pretty funny, but it's pretty cool because if we play that animation, then that pouch will 04:51.950 --> 04:55.430 fling forward and it'll look like we're shooting that slingshot. 04:55.430 --> 04:57.440 So pretty sweet. 04:57.560 --> 04:58.850 So this is great. 04:58.850 --> 05:01.070 We're one step in the right direction. 05:01.070 --> 05:08.180 Our goblin has a tagged montage on it and it's attack montages array. 05:08.180 --> 05:14.210 And this is great because now we can actually play a montage and spawn a projectile. 05:14.210 --> 05:17.560 So we're going to do those things in the videos to come. 05:17.580 --> 05:20.070 Excellent job and I'll see you soon.
