I have a npc which using an animation of moving forward and using the root motion,I learned that I need to use the montage,so I did what I should did according to the tutorial: Root Motion | Unreal Engine Documentation

I created the anim interface,and anim blueprint for my npc,but after I did everything,I found that my Npc Still not moving forward when it play the montage:

As of 4.7 you don’t have to use a Montage for Root Motion.

Is Root Motion enabled on the Animation Sequence itself? The character should only animate in place if it is on in the Persona preview window.

Is Root Motion enabled in the Animation BP? If not, enable it under “Edit Defaults” in the lower left and use “Root motion from everything”

Hey jmalaska,actually,I tried it before,but it doesn’t work,I asked and got this reply:I need to make a root in my animation.I don’t understand how to do that,but I saw lots of joints and bones in my animation,and the top there are one bone includes all of the bones,but it didn’t called “Root”,is it possible to reach my aim to let my npc go after I changed that top name into “Root”?
