Unreal Engine - How To Add/Use Animations

Here's a quick short on how to use animations for your character in Unreal Engine.

We'll be creating a montage from our animation, adding it to a button input, adding the default slot to our character's animation graph, and it will be good to go!

I mainly dealt with Unity. Montage is an unfamiliar concept to me. What does montage resemble in Unity?

Is there a way to set up an animation when you interact with an object

Yo! I'm about to go crazy over this... I'm pretty new to UE. I first tried this in UE5 and it was a total failure (the animBP & event graphs look wayyy different with the new "Manny & Quinn" characters and looks like they have drivers for each limb, so I bailed) so I figured maybe I could get it working in UE4 since that's what you're using in the video. So, here's my problem: I'm trying to use a set of animations that I added to a new project (called "superhero animset" ... they're not from mixamo, I bought 'em a while back in the UE marketplace). That now exists in it's own folder within the project. Then, I've got my 'ThirdPerson Character' and my 'ThirdPerson AnimBP' windows that I can open, BUT they each exist in separate folders inside the content browser ('character' is in a 'ThirdPersonBP' folder & 'Anim BP' is under 'Mannequin > animations' ... I'm not sure if this matters or not). I opened up the Character within ThirdPersonBP & added the E key event, connected Play Montage and dragged the mesh, then connected it just like you did in the video. Easy. Then, went to the animation that I imported into the project, created a montage, then found the ThirdPerson AnimBP (even though I don't understand why I couldn't access the AnimBP from within the same window that the Event Graph is in if it's supposedly the same character ... ? but whatever - ), opened it up and created the Default Slot, and connected it. EASY. Went back to the Event Graph & under Play Montage, selected my animation, and figured I was done.... NOPE!!!! Absolutely nothing happens when I press 'E' while playing the game. All the existing 'w, a, s, d, jump' functions work like before, but it just won't play the montage. There's no way it's this complicated???

Hey, it's urgent, I have a glitch where the part of "create an anim montage" is glitched, the menu is half covered by the end of the screen, someone help pls

[Rustdum]

What if its a custom character, and it doesn't have a AnimBP? also, is there a simpler way to do this?

[МакарКотченко-цл]

Idk. Seems to be right and it right, but it doesn't work in my project. Maybe someone can help me?

i click f to left hook iam making a boxing game any ways when i click it it does the npc glitch arms lol like the defalt arm prosesiob

[caliberplays]

I can't find out how to get to the anim graph to plug the thing in? Could you make this again but for UE5?

[RSProduxx]

Yeah... My problem really is: What about different animations depending on equipped item? ;)
Knife attack is different from Sword attack, Pistol attack is different from Rifle etc... I can see
that ending up overly complex, especially when we take different stances (standing, kneeling, prone) into account.
I´m so scared of that topic that I´m thinking of purchasing something like "Modern RPG" system (200 bucks)
so I can just skip that, but then again I´m scared it won´t help me as much as I´m thinking :)
Is it really that complex or am I (again) thinking too complicated?

[AliBounds]

After the animation is complete will it revert back to the player blueprint. For the character movement.

[MINUUXVIBES]

where can i get animations like this or how can i made one? pls answer

[Nonzeromist]
