**
Step 3: Create an animation blueprint using DinoBlueprintBase_RootBoneName as parent class and your skeleton as target skeleton

**
Step 4: Open the animation blueprint and delete the nodes that are in the event graph

**

**
Step 6: Replace the trike animations with your version of the ones being used there (Example: Trike_Idle=Your creatures Idle animation. Trike_Charge=Your creatures run animation)
**

**
Step 7: Go to the Anim Blueprint Editor, Edit defaults and search “Use” then enable the things you’re using (Example:Use aim offset=If your creature has an aim offset you will want to enable this. Use running= If your creature has a run animation which it usually does you will want to enable this

**
Compile and you’re done with the animation blueprint and now you’re ready for the character blueprint
Step 1: Copy a Character BP of your choosing (You can make your own Character BP but theres no real point in doing so)
**

**
Step 2: Replace the mesh and animation blueprint with the ones you just created
**
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/s0sM6iWCqlg0Ul7V5K0TOwM8Eej_lvccND9Z3NGXSYcVZfRqKFEHCToINn6qoufgEeGBOJo55fFoD-OqKAPF7H9h0OdOLnnxThv4NunJASgplblLz9mSonvNxHtvcEOK0tq-wPMT
**
Step 3: (Optional) Remove all the sounds of the creature so people don’t think it’s that creature
**

**
Step 4: To create an attack you will need to right click on your attack animation and create montage
**
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/StJVjNdd-LI0XUkM9zXqy0DlHZ_bQMuFxPjf37z9TYAEeoTtr0ux9lxqIIq6_ttMd_djwzFiEM7Ti8Wv_sEqcE90VW_DIpGPA0JavWiQYWL2YmuD5HMt3Y3lR5ItCBR34XdS5GfY
**
Open the animation montage and press that magnifying glass icon and in the new window that opens press “Add Slot” name that slot “FullBodySlot”
**
https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/zy-KVyjeUNXAPCt2CiKQI1tLbWJyjFqLvIIUGxSQMaA4Ns4xi3ih0ZeiqfmUE3GfPBEL1hHIjq8EZymIKgk18wY7AcL1SWy_tz5jSe13masZtXIm4RFZyh6TPMsRrLxxHgz2im5H
**
Once you’ve done that change your creature to that new slot you added
Scroll down to notifies, right click and add “Anim Notify State Custom”
**

**
Name it “MeleeSwing”
**
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/RyW8aaT_zIwjM1ti0QT068wwOxvbKWiPOlIM1-1cXMvhWsPCOdnKaprdh1w5GFrL393NgaWyvkLpUr68meoPWKhwAHUKyv5EVzeKeGHZAe3BX6BP6LB6Jw2zswljM7bNNfEiHyc-
**
Now place it around the frames where your creature attacks
**

**
Step 5: Open your skeleton and add a new socket to the bone where the attack comes from (For the creature I’m using it’s the Jaw bone)
**
https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/cXStr-VoVutTriH-QqgzHRZNpdjzx2BT30Xwk4YSOMDawkRsgVaQcGZ03GlUNO2Yzam476ian9QEZdMPzfV-Daijk0w4AXmJQb0S_tCuSVWMYvJAJNQ3w_ZYodXMOaV0AOhhmskm
**
**Name the socket MeleeSocket1 and move it to the place where the creature would be damaging things from **(AKA the teeth)
**
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/7OIrSaAFlOeMV1ZWUEUYiaTii390JWBxGXGUbYzT4e5emdRB19Uw7i26M_0aMcx505sUvPiiVBOGwNA55K1scTB-tV796JVuK9pyvxAZ85nF3bcofvHFMAAgD6Q5goIfn-kQamwx
**
Go back to the character blueprint search “Attack animation” and replace those with your creatures animation

**
**Step 5: add a rider socket (i forgot to say this earlier but whatever)
To add a rider socket you will want to find the bone where the player would be sitting (Example the spine) and add a new socket called “RiderSocket”, and after that rotate it and move it to your liking **
