Making Locomotion System Tutorials for UE5

[Loco Dev @LocoDev7701]

@PhantasyWave You can enable it to trigger only on specific objects because it will trigger as well on normal walls.

@PhantasyWave Nice one

@odysseas564763 In this system, the character avoids obstacles regardless of the direction they’re moving in

@Tettink67 Thanks, cheers!

@LzyIndTky I adapted this system in GASP 5.7 for the mover version, for the upper body overlay I use additive blendsplace animations. I only used chooser tables on my other system which was the advanced ledge locomotion system.

@EtherealHatred Thanks, I really appreciate it. The goal was never to claim I invented the idea, but to refine it, make it accessible to more developers, and show how it can be built in a reusable and modern way.

@LocoDev7701 This is sick, thank you for making tutorials for stuff like this.

[Loco Dev @LocoDev7701]

@Anexity12 Thanks!

[Loco Dev @LocoDev7701]

@LocoDev7701 oh shit this looks good, question is there a way to steer which shoulder he puts forward when avoiding an obstacle or is it tied to which side is detected the closest to the character at the contact moment?

[Loco Dev @LocoDev7701]

@kanonchu00 Same haha

@mister_chedda Thanks! Here we're using an additive Blend Space driven by mapped values, which are updated dynamically in real time based on the character’s distance to the obstacle being avoided

[Loco Dev @LocoDev7701]

@Sidera__ Surely, to any character that can walk!

@Zhyrvalen Really appreciate that 🙌 Yeah, AC explored similar ideas years ago, my focus here is to share the work and teach other developers how to build and even improve these mechanics themselves.

@theericjacobus The blendspace itself is just two 1-frame hand-keyed poses.

[Loco Dev @LocoDev7701]

Great question,the base locomotion uses motion matching with high quality mocap animations made from epic games, but the avoidance itself is procedural It uses traces and distance-based values, which are then applied through an additive blendspace to adjust the upper body pose in real time.
