Game Animation Sample with Overlay Layering | Unreal Engine 5

Introduction

This project integrates the ALS Overlay Layering System into the new Unreal Engine Motion Matching Game Animation Sample. Advanced Locomotion System (ALS) provides a nice Overlay System that allows us to alter the entire locomotion animation just by applying simple overlay poses.

Features

• Game Animation Sample
• Overlay layering system built with separate Anim Graphs and Linked Layers
• All overlays from ALS
• Basic weapon attach system from ALS
• Basic overlay switcher widget from ALS
• Removed Echo and Twinblast characters and Manny/Quinn 4k textures to lower project size

Overview

An overview of the system is available on my YouTube channel Polygon Hive

Migrating Plugin

To migrate the GASPALS plugin to your own Unreal Engine project, you can follow these steps:

1. Copy the Plugins/GASPALS folder to your project's Plugins folder.
2. Merge the Plugins/GASPALS/Config files with your project's Config files.
3. Copy DefaultEngine.ini content at the end of your project's DefaultEngine.ini.
4. Copy Tags/GameplayTags_GASPALS.ini to your project's Config/Tags folder.
5. Launch the project, an error message will prompt you to add collision settings, click add at the end of the message.
6. Enjoy :)
