I’m “glad” that everything works until I actually package something.
everytime I get these errors I have to ask about it, it never actually lets me know what I’m doing wrong

Had a similar Error: Unknown Cook Failure error around animsequence.cpp in Unreal 5.0.0 recently and just wanted to report what the solution was in case anyone else ever encounters the issue, since at the time I was troubleshooting it, I could not find any leads to similar problems online that checked all the right boxes.

It may not be the exact same problem, but if you encounter a cooking error revolving around animsequence.cpp with a red wall of “UnknownFunction” dominating the log, this might help to narrow the search a bit.

In my case, it was a single corrupt character animation sequence file that for some unknown reason, had an “Import Resample Framerate” of 0. Completely deleting the file, followed by a clean re-import and “Fix Up Redirectors in Folder” did the trick.

Similar to what Spacer789 experienced, the project worked perfectly fine with Play In Editor, but always resulted in a Cook failure as long as that animation sequence file existed, even when not actually referenced by an Animation Blueprint. Basically, its sheer existence alone caused the Cook to fail. It also did not trigger any specific issues with blueprint compiling or data validation in the Editor, and the UATHelper log during cooking never actually mentioned it by file name, which made it notably hard to pinpoint.
