I accidently deleted my ThirdpersonAnimBP, i dunno when but when i tried to merge a new AnimBP from a separate project it gets all error, and my character T pose with no animation, what do i do?
Hey @Dennis98ph! Welcome to the forums!
So good news! Youâre not totally dead in the water!
Firstly, make sure if youâre moving anything from project to project, you either âMigrateâ it or âexport to .fbxâ and âimportâ it. You canât copy-paste ANYTHING between projects, even using windows.
That aside, you just have to create and set up a new AnimBP. I suggest running through this tutorial (on a new project youâll delete afterward, itâs only about an hour) and not only will you be supplied with the knowledge to answer this question, but youâll have solutions to the additional questions that will arise in the formation of your new AnimBP when creating connections to the functionality of your ThirdPersonCharacter_BP 
You can also re-add the third person content to your project ( watch out, it overwrites all the 3p stuff )

Thanks for the reply! although i got it fixed by someone. But there is still one problem left, i try to download someones Anim and character over youtube, and follow hes tutorial however the same happens there. My graph gets all error and the character T pose. To i import it wrong?
I am completely new to unreal.
That could so many thingsâŚ
You need the same version of the engine for starters. Do you have that?
Im not sure, i have the latest 5.1, if thats what you mean.
Which vid is it?
AI and Patrolling by Beardgames, in the description is a link to a project called swordproject, however when i download the character doesint work nor the animation.
Ok, so itâs 4.25, but when I open the project it works ok ( the guy can swipe the sword ).
What are you doing next?
Maybe you import them differently? because i just drag them into my content folder, the swords and such is there and the new Character and Anim, however when i open those two i get error in the graph and he T pose.
Im not doing much besides putting them in my folder yet is messes it up, is it because i am playing on 5.1? I am completely new to unreal.
No, I actually opened his project. It works fine. Heâs assuming you going to use his project as a starting point.
If you want to move it all into your project, there are a few thing you should know.
-
NEVER (
) copy stuff using the windows explorer. Unreal has all these links between assets, this process will trash the lot. This is why it doesnât work for you. -
The correct route is to right click on the folders in the demo project, and choose âmigrateâ. That will move things to your project with breaking it all.
-
BUT: Itâs still going to overwrite a load of stuff, because the assets all have the same names and are in the same folders.
I tried moving everything to subfolders, that doesnât work either. I think you just have to migrate them one at a time⌠( or just use his project ).
( Actually the ânew folderâ method did work, but the input definitions havenât been put in the project config. )
I see! that explains alot. if i were to add them one by one, do i only have to migrate those 2 files, the Anim and Character? I dunno, whats the best and easiest method, as i have allready done some blueprints and such on my project and dont want to lose it.
Well, the nice thing about it is, when you migrate one asset, everything it needs to exist goes with it. That might be a bummer, depending on how you look at it 
I figured it out thanks!
