Forgive me if this post is interlaced with a bit of whining… I just cannot get my head around importing and setting up a custom character for the FPS Template. I can change the model and have a basic idle on it. But I cannot figure out how to get the firing animation going or a weapon attached. Does anyone know of a good start to finish FPS tutorial that is geared for the FPS Template, Not the Shooter Game?
Unfortunately there is no complete tutorial about that on the internet, but take a look at this series: It will teach you everything that you need to know to add your own character/play animations/… 
I saw Tesla do some tutorials for that on twitch, so maybe check his youtube channel for it.
But that video series posted was the one I learnt all I needed to do a new FPS character for shootergame.
Awesome!! Thanks for the info guys. I will give it a try.
