UE5 - Basic Locomotion: Walk to Run (REPLICATED)

house up guys so today I'm going to continue our Locomotion system and we are going to implement the Walk and Run replication so that you can switch between walking and running and that's it uh let's begin so the first thing we need is go to our third person character so right here uh I'm going to change the mesh to the male character because we are using Mel animation so it makes sense that we change that to the mail so many simple and the animation to the many compile save now we need a key here to toggle the Sprint so we're going to use the left shift key like this um now we need to create some events in order to replicate this process so first we're going to create a function to toggle the Sprint so set Sprint so that we can hold the functionality to toggle the Sprint so from here we're going to say branch we're going to connect this here uh change this to enable um now if we want to enable Sprint we would need to set a variable which we'll create now which is called sprinting and don't forget to change this to replicated so if we want to enable we set the sprinting to true and if not we set this printing to false um that's it now we need to also increase the max walking speed in each case so we're going to grab the character movements um we're going to say set max walk speed you can copy this one and connect this right here and connect everything so if we want to enable the Sprint we are going to set our Max walking speed to 525 which is the value that we will set on the blend space and if not we want to set the max walk speed to 310 which is also the valve that will set there you can go to the character movement now and also change the max walking speed to 310 which will make sure that when we start the game uh we will be walking and only when we press the shift key then we will be running so now let's go to the event graph we are going to create another graph here called replication and we're going to store our replicated stuff here so we're going to create a new event at custom events which will be called Sprint on lines you can duplicate this one and call it prints on server now Sprints off clients and another one called Sprints off server so now on the client events you're going to set this to run on owning clients so like this and on the server events you're going to say run on server so run on server now we are going to call the function that we created the set spring for each case so you can duplicate this this and connects everything so this one here this one here like this and now if we want to enable the Sprint we check this once and that's it so we can uh comment this and say Sprint now we have created the replicated events so that they work on multiplayer games so now we need to go to the event graph and right here on the left shift key we are going to grab this printing and we're going to say branch so if we are sprinting we want to set the sprinting off so sprints off server first and then print off clients so this will basically tell the server a I want to stop sprinting and at the same time we are doing that on our client so um if we are not sprinting then we want to Sprint so Sprint on server and then Sprint on clients so that's it uh we can comment this and say Sprint now we have um the functions we need to call this printing so now we need to import the animations to be able to add them to the blend space so let's go to the contents characters mannequins animations many unarmed and right here we are going to get the walk animations that are on the description or from the Lara templates and drag them in select the skeleton import all and that's it so right click asset actions bulk edits go down to root motion enable and force root lock file save all close this so now we need to rotate the animations like we did in the previous video so the forward left forward right or backwards right and backwards left so let's start uh on this one the backwards left as you can see is going forward we don't want that so right here select animation first frame and this one will be 45 right here and re-import animation so now he's going backwards left now the backwards right will be um minus 45 reimport animation like this now the forwards left which will be minus 45 animation first frame report animation and the forwards rights which will be um 45 animation first frame reimport animation so now uh we have all the animations rotated so file save all that's it uh now we can rotate the spine so we can go to the backwards left animation we can pause this move this here go to the skeleton tree select the spine and this one will be uh 35 right here add a key save let's go to the backwards right which will be 35 add a key save now the forwards left which also will be 35 but here it will be 5 add a key save and the forwards right 35 5 add a key save and that's it so uh now we can add the async markers so let's go to the walk backwards animation so this is the left feet first so let's add a sync marker left so right and then left right left right left so left right I guess write copy this left right left right and that's it uh now you can copy this once into the backwards left and backwards right because they are the same animation so like this make sure you put the cursor there this now the walk forwards animations so it starts on the right add a sync marker right left right left right left right that's it so right left right left right left okay now you can copy this once again into the forward left and forward right so like this no forwards right like this so now the walk left which starts on the right right left right left right right left right left sits now the walk right starts on the right as well right copy this left right left right right left copy this right left yeah so that's it basically uh now we can go to our blend space that we created in the previous video the unarmed blend space so now on asset details you can go to the vertical axis and we're going to uncheck the snap to grid we're going to change this to 600 now we're going to check the snap to grid and this should be all on 525. which is the value that we set before um for our walking speed so now down here on the weight speed we're going to change this to 6 which I find that works better so now we can drag the animations so let's start with the walk forwards right here on 300 of speed now the forward left forward right walk left walk right backwards left backwards rights and backwards and backwards so now we have all the animations we can also add the where is it in place animation uh which already comes with the third person template and we are going to add it to every single spot right here so just copy and paste it like this and this is basically the foot shuffling uh which will smooch the transition between Idol and walking and the running so uh that's just it so now uh we should be able to walk so if we press play okay now we can walk everything is working and if we press shift we can run and that's it now you have implemented the walk and sprinting and you can see that it also works uh on the server so we can go here and select two players play as listen server and as you can see now I am walking and the server sees me walking and if I press shift now I'm running and the server sees me running so that's it this is how you can replicate the walk run and I hope you liked it I hope you learned something with it and don't forget to subscribe
