I’ve got a skeletal mesh in my scene that has three animations attached to it: Idle, Talk and Walk to Destination
This mesh is part of an intractable Character blueprint, think a wizard that is standing in a forest that might have some information the Player needs for his quest.
I want my Player to be able to walk up to the Character and hit a button/key to blend from the Idle animation into Talk animation. Once the animation is complete, if the Player hasn’t pressed the button triggering the Character to Walk to Destination, I want him to blend back to the Idle pose. If the Player does hit the button to trigger the Walk to Destination, I want to be able to blend into that animation, either from the Idle or Talk animations.
I have no idea how to do this.
I’ve been looking into animation BPs, state machines and blend spaces, but everything I’ve seen seems to be talking about the Player’s possessed character, not a Character in the scene. I’ve also played around with the new animation blending feature in Sequencer in 4.15, but I think I need something more dynamic.
If anyone has any pointers I would greatly appreciate it.
