Hi, i’m currently making a Match3 Type of game on unreal. I’m stuck at the animation process : How should I make it so the meshes moves ‘‘fluently’’ from one position to another ? Should I use animations or matinee for that ? All the tutorial I seem to find about the subject are way beyond what I need to do : animating a 1-2 bones mesh, just to make it slide in one of the 4 directions I would need (up, left, right or down)

Thanks alot in advance guys !
