I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem I’m having with the wrong animation playing for my player character.
This story begins with my attempt to make a dive kick attack inspired by the recurring jump kick attack from the various later Igavania-style Castlevania games:
Just like in the Castlevania games I wanted the dive kick attack to be able to be performed as both a straight-downward kick like this:
Or at a downward-angle like this:
I managed to get the animation of the straight-downward version working correctly, however the problem that’s been plaguing me lies with the downward-angle version. Basically, after the player character performs the downward-angle version of the dive kick, the player character will then initiate the animation for the attack every time they jump instead of the proper jumping animation.

I’ve tried looking through both the character’s blueprint & their animation blueprint over & over again but I can’t seem to find the source of this problem. Not helping matters is how complex the player character’s animations have become, making finding whatever is causing the problem into a find the needle in the haystack type-of-scenario.
