I agree but the amount of additional work would be huge.
The good news is the animBP now can ignore root motion data so using the data is possible.
For example I’m using all root motion animation, setting to ignore, and examining using the animation curves to drive the movement component for replication requirements. Just to many smallish issues to fix to recommend it’s use for network use.
If someone has a networked version using root motion I would love to see it. As a TA I would love to see RM in common use but the problem is convincing coder to adopted the format (understandable)
