Changing IK Rig and selected Bones in Child Animation Blueprints

To make your variables instance editable (change value per child) you click on the closed eye symbol on the right of each variable type. to show inherited variables in children, in the top right of the functions and variables there’s a small settings button, if you tick show inherited variables, you will see them.

Deam, I completely forgot about this feature, thanks!

As for settings rigs and bone names , it’s not possible. even in control rig you can’t expose the class as a variable. however if you use control rig instead of the anim node of anim dynamics (not sure you can that in control rig yet) you can expose the control rig bone names and have them as variables. as long as the skeleton has same hierarchy you don’t need to switch the control rig class.

So looks like i do have to use a Control Rig for this. And yes, as I wrote, they have compatible skeletons, so this should not be a problem. But then the question is - what is the best way to change the settings for each rig for a character? For example, the limits on the rotation of the bones and stiffness when reaching the IK Goal.
I’m thinking about using one rig as a parent and creating children of it for each character. And in the animation BP, use each of them depending on the current character. For now, I will switch between them through the blend node, but can you tell me if this can be done through animation layers and linking? Like use one node (linked to layer) to use the rig and change its link to another animation layer when changing the character - is this possible? I myself have not yet studied this topic in depth and understand it superficially.
