Spawnables in level sequence hierarchy

Development Character & Animation

I would like to use the root level sequence to add a skeletal mesh as spawnable, and then in the shot level sequences inside the root level sequence, posses that skeletal mesh to customize with animation for the shot. I tried to configure it that way, but I wasn’t able to make it work.

Is that configuration possible?

Hey there,

Yes, this is totally possible. I’ll highlight the steps below with imagery.

  1. Create your main scene.
  2. Add your spawnable character
  3. Add your subsequence track.

  1. Add a new empty binding

  3. Use proxy bindings to bind to the character in the parent scene.
    1. Right-click on the binding track, go to “Binding Properties”
    2. Change the Binding Type to Proxy Binding and choose the parent sequence and then the actor you want to bind to.

  4. Add your animation track and animation.

Hope this helps
