So I am using this set of videos and its really great but the problem is I am using a customer character that I have sent through mixamo and got some animations and followed the ue4 live video about setting up the character and the animation montage. Unfortunately my npi character is in the idle pose but unfortunately stays in that idle pose. He will not go from idle to walk pose and would appreciate everybody’s help. Thank you and have a great day.

this is some pics I copied everything from the third person and added all that into the character. Somebody was telling me I needed to add a equation to the ai character since its not being controlled but not sure how to find that info.

I’m not sure if you intended to attach an image to this forum post. I’ll need a picture of the relevant blueprints in order to suggest or confirm any fixes.
