Source: https://www.udemy.com/course/unreal-engine-5-create-a-locomotion-system-from-scratch/

What you’ll learn

• Build a complete Advanced Locomotion System in Unreal Engine 5 from scratch.
• Master the Enhanced Input System to design responsive player controls.
• Create smooth movement and camera systems that feel professional and intuitive.
• Implement data-driven, modular architectures for scalable character systems.
• Develop realistic idle states, stance transitions, and directional movements.
• Apply animation techniques such as orientation warping, stride warping, and distance matching.
• Add advanced mechanics like sprinting, crouching, jumping, and additive leans.
• Integrate turn-in-place, aim offsets, and multiple rotation modes for dynamic control.
• Enhance immersion with inverse kinematics (IK) for hands and feet.
• Design combat-ready systems including weapons, interactable items, and hit reactions.
• Build AI-driven NPC characters with navigation and obstacle avoidance.
• Use animation overrides and montages to extend and customize gameplay.
• Implement actor profiling to manage attributes like health, armor, and more.
• Create a reusable locomotion framework that can be migrated into other projects to accelerate development.
• Learn how to seamlessly integrate MetaHumans with the locomotion system for high-fidelity, production-ready characters.
• Gain the skills to design flexible locomotion systems that can adapt to any Unreal Engine project.

Requirements

• No prior experience with locomotion systems is required – everything will be built step by step from scratch.
• Basic familiarity with Unreal Engine 5 interface and Blueprints will help but is not mandatory.
• A computer capable of running Unreal Engine 5 (Windows or macOS).
• At least 16 GB of RAM and a dedicated GPU (NVIDIA GTX 1060 / AMD equivalent or higher recommended).
• Stable internet connection to download Unreal Engine, assets, and course materials.
• Enthusiasm and a willingness to learn hands-on by building along with the instructor.
