Additional Notes
The root bone animates correctly in the sequence. I checked ‘enable root motion’ and ‘force root lock’ in the anim sequence asset, in the animbp, i set the root motion mode to ‘root motion from everything’. I have also gravity enabled. I’ve tried multiple animations from multiple sources, but nothing works. Before the problem, i retargeted the third person animbp to the metahuman and changed the animations, that maybe matters.
