Directional Ledge Climbing System 2.0 Tutorial on UE5
Welcome back to another Unreal Engine 5 tutorial! In this video, we will explore the directional ledge climbing system. This tutorial is perfect for beginners learning game development with blueprints in Unreal Engine 5. Follow along as we demonstrate the mechanics of moving upwards, downwards, left, and right on ledges, as well as jumping between them. We’ll cover setup, coding, and implementation in detail.
📚 You'll learn to have basic understanding of:
In-Game Collisions.
Timeline Functionalities.
HowTraces Work.
How to Setup Structures.
How to Setup Paremeter Based Functionalities.
⌨️ Input keys:
Press "E" = Attach/Detach on a Ledge.
Press one of the "WASD" keys = Move on Ledges.
Hold "Left CTRL" and "A" or "D" = Move Slower.
Hold "Shift" and "A" or "D" = Jump Left or Right.
