How to fix

The “Get Player Character” Node returns null, therefore the error.

Do you have a valid player character?

Is the script inside a Pawn or an Actor?

I do have a character, which I can play in the scene, and the script is inside an animation blueprint. The character responds to input, it moves around the level as it should, but doesn’t play the running animation, only the idle one, so yeah, the problem is where you stated, but I can’t seem to fix it.

EDIT: Manage to make the animations work, still error appears.

I can’t make my animations work, it seems that it doesn’t know which character to attach the animatios to.

I’ve been following this tutorial:
