NPC Animation

it worked for me

i copied your code but left off the last 3 lines

        if:
            Agent := GetAgent[]
            Character := Agent.GetFortCharacter[]
            Navigatable := Character.GetNavigatable[]
            AnimController := Character.GetPlayAnimationController[]
        then:
            AnimController.Play(FN_Mannequin_Wave_OneWay)

i stole the wave animation from the example animation island

everything was at the root level

i didn’t change anything in the NPC Character definition

the behaviour script was added to the NPC spawner properties

i can add you as a team member so you can look around my working project if you want
