Unreal Engine 5 C++ – Climbing System

Welcome to the exciting world of Unreal Engine 5 C++ Climbing System! In this course, you’ll embark on a journey to build a robust climbing system from scratch, gaining a deep understanding of climb physics, locomotion, vaulting mechanics, hand and leg IK using a control rig, and a range of other exciting features to create a seamless climbing experience.

Throughout the course, we’ll cover the following key sections:

Section 1: Handling Climbing Movement

• Implementing an enhanced input system with a custom movement component for basic climbing logic.
• Utilizing different traces to gather climbable surface information and handling the necessary physics code for custom movement modes.
• Processing climbable surface information to calculate climbing velocity and rotation.

Section 2: Climbing Locomotion and Animation

• Creating a character animation instance class in C++ and rebuilding the existing animation blueprint.
• Exploring the Mixamo animation pipeline and utilizing the Mixamo converter to retarget animations.
• Implementing climb locomotion and developing algorithms to determine if the character has reached the floor or ledge during climbing.

Section 3: Hand and Leg IK with Motion Warping and Enhanced Input System

• Building a control rig for hand and leg IK to ensure accurate placement during climbing.
• Implementing motion warping and enhanced input system for features like vaulting and hopping.
• Creating a climb IK trace function to dynamically adjust the position of hands and feet based on the surface.
• Developing algorithms to determine valuable surfaces and setting the target point dynamically during runtime.
• Exploring the enhanced input system to create a two-key action triggered only during climbing.

By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to build a fully functional climbing system in Unreal Engine 5. You’ll be equipped with a deep understanding of climb physics, locomotion, and IK, allowing you to create a seamless climbing experience with exciting features like vaulting and hopping.
