Hi there, my character will start in the game full sprint and immediately swing the sword and my animation for walking will stop working.
Hey @12ninjababies! Welcome to the forums!
So that’s definitely weird behavior! I assume it has something to do with the way you’re setting up animations, of which there are many ways to do so. We need pictures! We need video! We need code! 
There’s really not a lot we can do without seeing what’s going on. We need a good bit more information to be able to help.
Get back to us soon!
i would have included pictures of my code, but epic games wouldnt let me when i created the thread. i fixed my issue, but the new issue is the sword goes through everything and i do not know why
THANK YOU for attaching collision settings. You have no idea how many don’t add those when asking questions about collision.
Here’s what I can see at a glance, though. Your Timer has no event attached to it, and your line trace has no execution line:
Hope that helps!
i created an event tick but it did not solve my issue, do you know what type of event i need to create?
You should use “Custom Event” and name it whatever you’d like!
