Cannot create new nodes in a read only graph

Development Character & Animation

Hello!

I am following Massive Unreal 4s tutorial series on youtube.

I am currently following this video on how to set up a third person character.

The problem is when im creating a new node by right clicking on anim graph, a message appears that I cannot create new nodes in a read only graph. In the documentation, it states that this message appears when im playing or simulating the animation, which I dont.
Appreciated if someone have an idea.

It seems if you run the program in Administrator rights, it works.

I tried to modify the graph before quitting the playable mode, so this message appeared to me
Check if you are in the play mode!
If not try to restart UE again

I am having this error too… I think its because I am attempting to edit a dispatch and not a graph above.

I wonder that yoh choose a ‘simulate’
I solved the problem to choose a ‘selected viewport’

The play button was accidentally left on. Just hit the square “stop” Button and it will become readable again.

Do not just open your Animation Blueprint. Instead right-click your mouse on the icon and choose ‘edit’ in pop-up menu. It solved the same ‘read-only’ issue
