Yes, because you not dragging it from “As Character” pin as i said
Btw i think that cast is bad anyway, you must cast it to Your created character, for example “skeleton_character” or “my_sprinter” or “thirdPersonCharacter” if you using that template… just class which you created or where you are setting sprint… so replace cast node and drag wire from “as …” and everything should work

Did you mean like this? (though not exec line connected to set speed now)

Because I am not sure whether I can access character variable inside state machine.
