ADK Animations + Event Graph

I’m trying to make a mod using a completely custom flying creature and I’m trying to make it dive. I have all the necessary Blend Spaces and montages loaded in the Character BP and AnimBP but when I ride the creature it won’t face the ground when descending it just slowly goes down horizontally and same goes for ascending and it won’t dive either despite it being in the diving class. Would really love some help as no tutorials are up to date nor do any of them go into detail about blueprints and animations. Also any help with understanding the event graph would be vastly appreciated
