I’ve acquired FPS assets in an online course and I got the skeletal mesh down and followed along to the Details panel, down to Animations - Anim to Play to select animation file “Arms_idle”. In the browsing option, I typed “idle”. As you may know, typing this in will pop up “Arms_idle”. However, it did not. It was empty. So, I went to the Content Drawer and browsed there. It showed up. I dragged the file to Anim to Play but it didn’t allow me to do that. For your information, the instructor is using an older version of Unreal. I am using the latest version. Hope that’s okay.
If you know how to fix this problem, please leave a comment below! Thanks.
If they’re using Unreal Engine 4, you may have an issue there. You can try right clicking on the animation and choosing “Retarget Animation” and select your character’s skeleton. I don’t think the default arms skeleton has changed enough to affect it, but if that doesn’t work… you may want to contact the course director and ask if there is an updated animation.
