I’m trying to use Animation Blueprints on Characters that are being spawned in the Game Mode, because I want the player to be able to switch between multiple characters on the map. My problem is that when I call Simple Move to Location, the character just slides to the new position without using the walk animation.
If I set breakpoints in Animation Blueprint Event Graph, they aren’t hit for Event Blueprint Update Animation or Event Blueprint Initialize Animation. If I call Get Animation Instance, it returns a null value.
I’ve been modifying the Third Person template, and I am still using the default Manny skeletal mesh, and Animation Blueprint.
