======================================================

Welcome back to my parkour tutorial series. For the fifth mechanic, I will be making a beam walking/balance system. It covers:
- Using splines to make dynamically shaped beams
- Detecting beams and moving to them
- Walk along any shaped beam including linear and curved paths
- Aligning player to sloped beams (optional)
- Exiting the beam by walking off it or jumping off while on it

I was scratching my head as to the best way to make the character move, and this really helped me choose a direction. Thanks so much!

Now at 36:56 and my character is completely stuck in place. I really need help, please answer me, i've done everything the same.

Guys important tip here. Make sure you only extend your spline in the direction that the Beam Actor is facing. I was extending the spline backward instead of rotating the actor and due to that my character was just spinning in place instead of moving forward.

When I was trynna do the ladder system the software kept freezing, but I was able to do this, great vid

Do you have any thoughts about how you would go about making this a flexible item, like a hanging cable the player is walking across, instead of a rigid beam? It would be great to get it to sag a little as the player walked across it.

32:55 how would I go about doing this code if I'm not using enhanced input action?

[XavierSarault-xf]

Im at 7:18 and my mesh does not appear, i have checked and the code is exactly the same, every step followed. Please help me

[TheRyder]

character gets pushed back from beam and then something disables player movement after this. Cannot connect to beam at all, any suggestions where this could have gone wrong?

[douglaschilders]

Do you know how to detach from the beam instead of re-attaching to it?

[CatScissor]

At the end of the video， why not find the tangent to the spline and then fall vertically along the tangent? Because in Batman game they do that, but i dont know how to find tangent.

[alizaidi]

this is amazing. can you PLEASE create a video for something like when you are walking on beam, you can press a button to hang down and if hanging on bean get back up onto the beam ?

[jackdixon]

A question, why do we do a seperate move Component To for the mesh if its a child of the capsule component, won't it be moved by the Capsules Move To?

[CallMeMistaPepe]

How would you set the character to play the crouch idle animation when not moving?

[camelotvfx]

rotating the beam actor seems to break this. any advice on fixing would be much appreciated!

[nukgaming]

Having an issue where the character cant reattach to the beam after doing the exit jump. Any ideas what part of the code this would come from?

[MrPangahas]

can you attack or jump from the spline?

[vbfbtbftbtvfvtjth]

Hey, I really appreciate ur tutorials on parkour system, r u gonna create Tic Tac or hanging jump?

[himanshusharma]

Hey, can you make a video expanding this one on how to make the character lose balance occasionally and the player has to control them to regain balance like in video games. Thank you.

[NajwanAzhiim]

can the walk combine with motion matching

[uchihakidd]

Hey man. Sorry for all the messages across the videos, but im having another weird issues with this one. at 27:51, i tested to see if the beam walking works, and for some reason the code stops after the branch with the tag in the condition. My character is stuck on the start of the beam and I can only jump and have no movement input. The tag is beam so I don't know what i did differently.
