Well one of the animations is the roll animation from Epic’s Action RPG, which I think is free on the marketplace or maybe even the learn tab. Forgot where I got it, some I bought like the “ninja starter pack” . they all have root motion it seems , but enabling root motion in the animation and setting the default in the anim bp to any settings like " root motion for everything " , " root motion from montages only " or " ignore root motion" , or any of them don’t make any difference. Character still jumps out of the stationary capsule , then snaps back. Even if I put the “roll forward standing to stand " from the soldier set in your kit on him , it still does the same thing. Some animations , like " roundhouse kick” for example I added are not a problem because they are in place animations so it really don’t make too much difference.I am probably missing something maybe in the state machine in anim bp? I added the state there and a couple bools in the transitions that are tied in with some basic nodes in the character bp with an input to activate the animation , but in the state itself it is only the animation connected directly to the end result with nothing else.Like I say , they play fine but the capsule is the issue. Is there somewhere I need to add some additional blueprint functions to the animation , to allow the capsule to move and shrink and change with the character ? other than just adding it and setting root motion? Or settings in the character bp capsule collision , or half height or something? Some animations I import come in with a physics asset and skeletal mesh. Should they be imported this way? or without?

Hi I guess you used this animation from action RPG template:
AnimSequence’/Game/Characters/Animations/Dodge_Small_Forward_Roll.Dodge_Small_Forward_Roll’

I’ve checked it and it has indeed root motion animation.
I’ve migrated this animation and character to TPS kit. I’ve change retarget rig to humanoid on twin blast character. I’ve retargeted animation and swap it in AnimMontage’/Game/ThirdPersonKit/ParagonTwinblast/Animations/AM_RollForwardStandingToStand_Montage_TwinBlast.AM_RollForwardStandingToStand_Montage_TwinBlast’

I’ve added animation notifies that where in original animation.
And looks like everything works fine.

Suggestions - have you done it the same way? Did you add animation notifies to retargeted animation?
