I can't get an animation to play in the editor viewport or via the play button, but the animation plays perfectly fine in the blueprint Viewport

I’m a beginner in UE5 so bare with me.

Situation:
I have a blueprint class with a skeletal mesh asset.

I had the mesh asset set as “SK_Mannequin”.

As per an RTS tutorial, I was supposed to use ThirdPerson_AnimBP, but that is no longer available, so I’ve been experimenting with other anim classes and skeletal mesh assets.

Problem:
I cannot find an anim class that works in the editor viewport or by clicking play.

Anim classes are only playing their idle animations in the blueprint class viewport.

I can’t figure out why.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Screenshot attached.

Cheers.
