Hello, So, here is my problem. So I created a new GameMode for my game so all characters would spawn as the same character. I went into the world settings and changed the GameMode overwrite to the GameMode I created. It worked…mostly. All characters spawned as the same character, but I lost the ability to move any of the characters. I used to be able to walk, crouch, and sprint, but now I can’t even move the character. Anybody know why its not working? ---

Hi Dark\_Shadow\_12, In the new GameMode blueprint\>Details\>Classes: you need to set your pawn class here. Once that is set, you have to select the Animblueprint that contains the State Machine which triggers these animations in the CharacterBlueprint\>(select) mesh\>details. Let me know if this does not answer your question. . ---

Still didn’t work. I set the default pawn and set the animation blueprint in the CharacterBP. Any other fixes? Also, could you send pictures with your answers? That would help a lot. ---

1. Make sure your Character is using the AnimBlueprint with the state machine already set up: 2. ![110682-2selectanimbp.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/6/3/b/63bc87a32552e35a984f0b3f9fc78af830b1a7d2.jpeg) 1. ![110685-4animbpdetail.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/0/a/20a272233b2521065c3c33f95b603fe2396bcaef.jpeg) 3.Make sure you have not deleted your Inputs in Project Settings\>Inputs (You should have Axis settings like Move Forward, Move Right and Action Settings like Space = Jump, C = Crouch): 4. ![110684-3engineinput.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/f/f/3/ff3519d267dec8fcce69f030229b189c2541ef9f.png) 1. Finally, Make sure you have chosen your Game Mode in the World Settings at: ![110688-5gamemode.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/2/2/8/228300676a6f2b622388594db35ad6ea41c980c6.jpeg) 1.
