I want to make my third person character do different attacks, since I don’t have any assets I would just like him to kick and punch? What menus do I have to go through to get this to work? Most tutorials I found use pre-built assets and animations.
Hello there. I 'm not very familiar with animations but check MixamoAnimePack from marketplace(there is sword attack animation for example) and you need to retarget the ThirdPersonCharacter skeleton with the specific animation you want
Check this: Skeleton Assets: Anim Retargeting Different Skeletons | 03 | v4.8 Tutorial Series | Unreal Engine - YouTube
If you cant find the animations anywhere(on google or marketplace) you need to make some.
You just need to import the skeleton in Blender (that 's what I 'm using) and make them in there.
There are countless tutorials to do this.
