Multiple Control Rigs one works great and others dont

Hello, i have an annoying problem one control works great but more than one resets. See more inside.

After much debate, I decided to move my webcomic from Blender to Unreal Engine. I worked hard and learned how to create control rigs from scratch. I recreated the background, making it better, and have basically polished everything.

Then I ran into problems. Zeep, the purple eyestalked protagonist poses fine. He is the poster child of everything working right. However, his Ant-agonist, who is an actual ant, clever pun, eh? is living up to the pun and has become my antagonist. Every time I save, every time I load it resets to a half default pose.

I’ve asked ChatGPT, I’ve asked the UE Assistant and they both came up with the same useless information. So, now im asking my fellow UE users. How do you get a second (and more) characters to retain their poses while saving or playing the “game?”

my webcomic is http://growlution.net

I even tried to give the ant its own sequencer and still nothing :frowning:

anyone?
