跨栏运动（hurding）

This is the Third in a series of tutorials I will be writing of creating actions within UDK script. I am self taught when it comes to scripting and over the last couple months I have been learning Unrealscript. In the Unreal community forums alot of people ask about rootmotion, wallrunning, grabing and ext. As did I when I first started. My tutorials will cover how I found such solutions to preforming these actions.

My second reason for writing said tutorials is a attempt to get exposure within the community to make a transition form my current job in the Industial feild to Gaming. I am currently looking for a position as a modeler, texturer, concept artist, animator, and scriptor.

All animations, models, textures and script where created by me. (please forgive my animation they are blocked out until I have time to fine tune them.)

These are my fisrt attempt in writing tutorials, if something does not work or you have a better method or questions please let me know.

In this tutorial we will be covering how to make Hurdling action.

Things we need:

Two diiferent Herdle animations with rootmotion.

Class we will be working in:

Pawn

Hurdling

First getting things ready.

Create an bool variables and a float variable.

var bool bFTrace;
var float Distance;

Make sure you can access  a CusotmAnimSequence in your code.

 

See the Rootmotion/Rolling tutorial if you do not know how to do this.

var AnimNodePlayCustomAnim CustomAnimPBG; simulated event PostInitAnimTree(SkeletalMeshComponent SkelComp) {      if (SkelComp == Mesh)     {                     CustomAnimPBG = AnimNodePlayCustomAnim(SkelComp.FindAnimNode('CustomAnimPBG'));     } }

 

1.Make sure you know how to use Rootmotion.See the Rootmotion/Rolling tutorial if you do not know how to do this.

function RootMotionOn() {     Mesh.RootMotionMode = RMM_Accel;     Mesh.bRootMotionModeChangeNotify = TRUE;     CustomAnimPBG.SetRootBoneAxisOption (RBA_Translate, RBA_Translate, RBA_Translate); }

 

function RootMotionOff() {      Mesh.RootMotionMode = RMM_Ignore;      Mesh.bRootMotionModeChangeNotify = False;      ClearTimer(nameOf(RootMotionOff)); }

 

2.we need to create two Trace function. We will use this to detect if there is a wall nearby.

First trace:

function FTraceTest() {     local vector loc, norm, end,Start; local TraceHitInfo hitInfo; local Actor HitActor;      if ( Physics == PHYS_Walking && !bIsCrouched || Physics == PHYS_Falling || Physics == PHYS_None || IsInState('Hanging') )     {         end = Location + normal(vector(Rotation+Rot(0,0,0)))*85; // trace to "infinity"         Start = Location;         HitActor = trace(loc, norm, end, Start, true,, hitInfo);         Distance = VSize(location - loc);         if( HitActor.bWorldGeometry)          {            bFTrace = true;            return;         }          if( HitActor == none)         {             bFTrace = false;         }      } }

 

Second trace:

function FTrace() {     local vector loc, norm, end,Start;     local vector locB, normB, endB, StartB;     local TraceHitInfo hitInfo, hitInfoB;     local Actor HitActor, HitActorB;        if ( Physics == PHYS_Walking && !bIsCrouched || Physics == PHYS_Falling || Physics == PHYS_none )     {         // trace to "infinity"         end = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight-65)*Vect(0,0,1) + normal(vector(Rotation))*85;         Start = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight-65)*Vect(0,0,1);        // trace to "infinity"            endB = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight+1)*Vect(0,0,1) + normal(vector(Rotation))*85;         StartB = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight + 1)*Vect(0,0,1);         HitActor = trace(loc, norm, end, Start, true,, hitInfo);         HitActorB = trace(locB, normB, endB, StartB, true,, hitInfoB);         if( HitActor.bWorldGeometry && HitActorB.bWorldGeometry && bLTrace == false && bRTrace == false)         {            if(CustomAnimPBG.bIsPlayingCustomAnim || Physics == PHYS_Falling )            {                return;            }            if ( HitActorB == none )            {               bFTrace = false;            }            else            {               bFTrace = true;               return;            }            if ( HitActor.bWorldGeometry && Physics == PHYS_Walking && BFTrace == true )            {               // trace to "infinity"               end = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight-50)*Vect(0,0,1)+ normal(vector(Rotation+Rot(0,0,0)))*90;                Start = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight)*Vect(0,0,1)+ normal(vector(Rotation+Rot(0,0,0)))*90;               // trace to "infinity"               endB = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight-65)*Vect(0,0,1)+ normal(vector(Rotation+Rot(0,0,0)))*35;                StartB = Location + (CylinderComponent.CollisionHeight-65)*Vect(0,0,1);               HitActor = trace(loc, norm, end, Start, true,, hitInfo);               HitActorB = trace(locB, normB, endB, StartB, true,, hitInfoB);               if(HitActor.bWorldGeometry && HitActorB.bWorldGeometry && Physics == PHYS_Walking)               {                  if(CustomAnimPBG.bIsPlayingCustomAnim)                  {                     return;                  }                  if(Distance < 20)                  {                      ClimeStanding();                  }                   return;                }                if(HitActor.bWorldGeometry && HitActorB == none)                {                   if(Distance > 75)                   {                      bFTrace = true;                      HerdleHop();                      return;                   }                }           }      } }

 

Third we will place are Trace function (FTraceTest ()) in side the Tick.

function Tick( float DeltaTime ) {    if (bAction == true)    {        FTrace();    } }

 

Fourth we need to create a function to call are bAction so when we activate it are trace is run:

exec function Action() {        bAction = true;        Enable ('Tick'); } exec function ActionOff() {         bAction = false; }

 

Fifth we need to add are Action() and ActionOff() functions in the DefaultInput.ini and bind them to a key:

Add this:

.Bindings=(Name="GBA_Action",Command="Action | ActionOff")

Underneath:
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; BINDINGS USED TO ORGANIZE ALL GAME BINDABLE ACTIONS IN ONE PLACE FOR SYSTEMS SUCH AS UI
; GBA - GAME BINDABLE ACTION
; "_Gamepad" - IS USED WHEN A CONTROLLER IS USING AN ALTERED MAPPING FOR AN ACTION

 

Add this in your Game Contoller Bindings in the DefaultInput.ini .

.Bindings=(Name="XboxTypeS_RightShoulder",Command="GBA_Action")

 

Forth we well create the function that activate are hurdle animations.

exec function HerdleHop() {         SetPhysics(PHYS_none);         RootMotionOnTranslate();         CustomAnimPBG.PlayCustomAnimByDuration('HerdleJump',1.5, 0.2,0.1 , False, true );         CustomAnimPBG.SetActorAnimEndNotification(true);         SetTimer(1.20, false, nameOf(PysWalk)); } exec function ClimeStanding() {        SetPhysics(PHYS_none);        RootMotionOnTranslate();       CustomAnimPBG.PlayCustomAnimByDuration('HerdleClimeUp',2.5, 0.01,0.5 , False, true );       CustomAnimPBG.SetActorAnimEndNotification(true);       SetTimer(2.35, false, nameOf(PysWalk)); }

 

5.we need to create the function that are timer is going to call and also turns off are rootmotion.

function PysWalk() {    SetPhysics(PHYS_walking);    ClearTimer(nameOf(PysWalk));    RootMotionOff();    CustomGravityScaling=1.0;    groundspeed = 300; }

 

Now if we compile and run we should have a hurdle action.
