I imported this mesh of a Machoke doing jumping jacks and it didn’t work when placed in-game like it should have.

Currently, animations will only play while viewed in your Fortnite level or when placed in a Level Sequence and played via Sequencer. There are several ways to trigger and view your animations.

  1. Drag your Animation Sequence Asset into the level, then press Play or Refresh to push your updates to the Fortnite server.
  2. In the Editor, Create an Animated Mesh Device and assign an Animation Sequence and Skeletal Mesh. This Device has controls to Play, Pause, and Play Reverse.
  3. In the Editor, Create a Level Sequence using Sequencer and trigger that Level Sequence via the Cinematic Sequence Device.
