Animation Blueprint code with different skeletons

[TheFlow3k]

Sorry, I missed to see page 2 and 3 of this thread before posting.
It seems all my questions are answered. I tested and it worked for me. Very interesting how long this topic is around.
It worked fine for my, by using your advises for change the skeleton in the child BP and then used the referenced Animations Sequences (and references blend spaces etc) by variables.
Seems to work fine for now. have to play test more tomorrow.
Thank you!

Just for the next who is stumble across this thread…–> Use the following two explanations and you will face no problems also in actual release (with a bug which is not affected on using it like this):

Wow, just needed it today and here’s some fresh answers haha. It worked fine!

For those who are new to Unreal like me, here’s some notes about the workaround:

TARGET SKELETON may be hidden in ClassSettings->ClassOptions, just click the arrow, or search it:

​

In the child AnimBP, click CLASS DEFAULTS to change the variables

Thank you guys for keeping up this topic.
Thanks Ben_Cykyria and MostHost LA for the workaround.

So, coming back to this, I had time to test it with a new project today. I have to admit that it doesn’t work.

However, we do have one project with a child AnimBP with the steps as I described, and it works there with the existing child AnimBP, but not with new child AnimBPs…? The project was created with 4.24.0 I think and maybe it broke with .1 or later subrevisions.

As a workaround, you can expose the Animations as variables in the parent AnimBP:

Then create a child AnimBP and change the Skeleton in the Class Settings as described in my first post, but instead of using the (broken?!) Asset Override Editor change the value of the variables.
It is one step more, but at least you don’t have to remake the whole AnimBP.

Let me know if this workaround works for you, please.
