Root motion won't move character

Development Character & Animation

Hi there. I am struggling with root motion. It simply doesn’t move the character.

I have set enable root motion in the animation which removes the root motion in the preview.

I have the created an anim montage of that clip and play it.

I have created a very simple AnimBlueprint based on that character and have set the rootmotion to everything in the Class Default settings.

It plays the animation but it wont perform the root motion.
Does anybody have an idea what the problem could be?

Oh boy. I struggled with it for hours and just as I post it, I got the solution.

I have used an actor and not a character. With the movement component of the character everything is fine. Do pawns and actors have an equivalent that make it work?
