Strider - Procedural Animation Warping Plugin

Hi, I didn’t see this mentioned in any of the videos or the documentation - in the example project the Character Blueprint is a child of a custom class called “StriderTutorialUE4Character”, rather than the default UE4 Character Blueprint, is this strictly necessary for the Strider system to work? Or is that just a convenience to set up movement input for the tutorial? What is it’s purpose? Cheers!

No, you can totally use the default UE4 ACharacter or your own derived character for your blueprint.

There is no particular purpose in the case of the tutorial. There is no functionality in it. It is just what I always do in every project with just about every default class. If the base class is in C++ I can add C++ functionality to it later. However, if my blueprint only inherits from a default class then I can’t go back and add C++ or convert blueprint functionality to C++ easily when the time comes.

Also when I make a C++ project, it automatically makes these derived classes for me.
