Help with Verse Animation Variable: Unknown Identifier Issue

I’m creating a custom NPC in UEFN (Fortnite Editor) and using Verse to set up its animations. I tried to set a variable for an animation sequence like this:

var Attack1 : animation_sequence = Scor_Attack

However, I get the error: Unknown identifier Scor_Attack.

I’ve double-checked the animation asset name in the Content Browser, and it matches exactly. What am I doing wrong? Do I need to reference the animation in a specific way for Verse to recognize it? Any guidance would be appreciated!


This code used to work before without any issues. Recently, I downloaded different models from Sketchfab and imported them into my UEFN project. I tried assigning animations to multiple models, but now the problem persists with all of them. Could this issue be related to the imported assets, or is there something else I might be missing ?

You seem to be missing the Assets.digest.verse . Is this an old project you opened? also try importing a random texture in your content browser I want to see if it’ll be picked up

hi thank you for your help, yes it is an old project that i used it for tests, i imported a random texture and got the following errors


Rename your texture to something unique like mytexture123

i did and it was done but i got the following error

Check that in your content browser you do not have any generic names

i tried that and still not working, the problem is i created a new test map and the code worked perfectly, when i tried it with my ongoing project map it didn’t work (same problem as the oldest test map)

Are you sure there’s nothing ambiguous in your project? A folder or file that has the same name as a device or a variable etc etc etc
