WEBVTT 00:07.010 --> 00:13.100 Okay, so we're spawning in some minions, but the problem is they all spawn facing that way. 00:13.100 --> 00:17.000 And also we're not playing a montage for summoning. 00:17.000 --> 00:22.640 So that's what I'd like to do in this video and to play a montage, we need one. 00:22.640 --> 00:30.800 So we're going to go to assets, enemies, shaman animations, and we're going to make a summon montage. 00:30.800 --> 00:33.230 So here's our shaman summon. 00:33.230 --> 00:41.360 We're going to right click Create, and in Montage we're going to call this Am underscore Shaman, underscore, 00:41.360 --> 00:44.390 summon and open that up. 00:44.390 --> 00:48.800 And the first thing I'm going to do is just send an event. 00:48.800 --> 00:55.250 So I'm going to change this one in my notify tracks to event and right click. 00:55.250 --> 01:04.490 And I think I'd like to do it right about here towards the end, right click add, notify Montage event. 01:04.490 --> 01:06.720 And what is the event tag? 01:06.720 --> 01:10.680 Well, it's going to be a summon actually. 01:10.800 --> 01:16.230 So we could use montage attack one for this for now, that's totally fine. 01:16.230 --> 01:23.550 And in our summon ability, what I want to do is play a montage and wait just after we've shown these 01:23.550 --> 01:24.420 effects. 01:24.420 --> 01:30.840 So right before our delay here, I'm going to take all of these nodes and move them out and we're going 01:30.840 --> 01:35.220 to play a montage and wait right here after the for each loop. 01:35.220 --> 01:37.800 So play montage and wait. 01:37.920 --> 01:41.190 We're going to select that montage for now. 01:41.190 --> 01:44.820 I'm going to hardcode in that summon montage. 01:45.960 --> 01:52.680 Like so and after play montage and wait we're going to wait game play event. 01:55.010 --> 01:57.530 And we're going to wait for that attack. 01:57.530 --> 02:06.140 One gameplay tag that we sent and on event received, that's when we're going to continue summoning 02:06.140 --> 02:07.790 all of the creatures. 02:08.430 --> 02:11.520 So let's see what happens if we just play. 02:13.200 --> 02:18.830 And it looks like we're just continuing to spawn. 02:18.840 --> 02:20.790 It doesn't look like we really. 02:22.260 --> 02:24.600 Got anything the first time? 02:29.140 --> 02:36.190 We spawn some minions a couple times there, and that's probably because we have too high of a delay. 02:36.310 --> 02:43.630 So we can play montage and wait, and I don't think we need that delay anymore as we're now waiting 02:43.630 --> 02:45.780 for the gameplay event. 02:45.790 --> 02:48.520 So let's see how it looks without a delay. 02:52.650 --> 02:55.530 I think that our event is too late. 02:55.560 --> 02:56.680 We're going to have it. 02:56.700 --> 02:57.690 Let's see. 02:58.620 --> 03:01.920 Let's have our event a little earlier, like right there. 03:06.580 --> 03:08.040 Think that looks better? 03:08.070 --> 03:10.470 We could even have it slightly earlier. 03:15.760 --> 03:16.960 I like that. 03:17.260 --> 03:19.270 Maybe even a little earlier. 03:19.300 --> 03:25.270 We just need a split second before those demons get spawned. 03:26.210 --> 03:28.790 Yeah, I think that looks better a lot faster. 03:28.970 --> 03:32.660 Okay, so we do want to limit how many we spawn. 03:32.660 --> 03:33.860 We'll get to that. 03:33.860 --> 03:42.200 But for the rest of this video, I want to concern myself with the orientation of these demons that 03:42.200 --> 03:42.920 spawn in. 03:42.950 --> 03:45.640 So I'd like to calculate a spawn rotation. 03:45.650 --> 03:47.430 Now, that could be pretty easy. 03:47.450 --> 03:49.730 I'm going to get the Avatar actor location. 03:49.730 --> 03:52.700 So get Avatar actor from actor info. 03:52.730 --> 03:54.410 I'm going to get its location. 03:59.010 --> 04:07.020 And I'm going to find the lookout rotation from the actor location to this location here, the spawn 04:07.020 --> 04:08.520 transform location. 04:08.520 --> 04:12.240 So we're going to use find look at rotation. 04:13.280 --> 04:15.200 Only I'd like the opposite of that. 04:15.200 --> 04:21.590 I want the lookout rotation from the spawn location to the shaman. 04:21.590 --> 04:27.560 So I'm going to have this one go in first and this one go in second to the target. 04:27.560 --> 04:30.740 And that's going to be the spawn transform rotation. 04:30.740 --> 04:36.170 So the lookout rotation looking from the demon to the shaman, or is that. 04:36.170 --> 04:38.630 I think that's the opposite of what I wanted, actually. 04:38.630 --> 04:39.140 Yeah. 04:39.140 --> 04:44.600 So the opposite I want from the shaman to the demon location. 04:44.600 --> 04:46.250 So let's swap that out. 04:48.960 --> 04:53.450 And now the demons will be facing outward, away from the shaman. 04:53.460 --> 04:54.900 That's what I wanted. 04:55.410 --> 04:56.250 Cool. 04:56.580 --> 04:57.360 All right. 04:57.390 --> 04:58.650 Things are coming along. 04:58.650 --> 05:00.990 We're spawning a lot of enemies. 05:01.020 --> 05:02.100 Way too many. 05:02.100 --> 05:08.910 And one last thing before we wrap up is notice when we get a summon, there's a little bit of a foot 05:08.910 --> 05:12.090 slide at the end of that summon montage. 05:12.150 --> 05:14.910 That's actually pretty easily fixable. 05:14.910 --> 05:23.010 If we go into our shaman, summon animation and scroll down to enable root motion. 05:23.010 --> 05:29.010 If we check that, then we won't be able to have our shaman move while it's in this animation. 05:29.010 --> 05:33.240 So if we click play, we'll see that it stays put until the end of that. 05:33.480 --> 05:36.240 Shaman summon animation. 05:37.070 --> 05:37.910 All right. 05:37.910 --> 05:44.210 So we have a lot of enemies being summoned, but that's something we could easily fix and we'll take 05:44.210 --> 05:45.410 care of that soon. 05:45.410 --> 05:48.110 So excellent job and I'll see you soon.
