No jump animation on 3D side scroller when using starter anim pack?

I replaced the original skeletal mesh and anim class of the starting side scrolling character with the gun wielding mesh/animation class of the anim starter pack from the marketplace and was able to add the ability to aim and such, but for some reason whenever the character jumps, the jump animation does not play. Also, it would be nice to know how to crouch as well, as there are not many tutorials for the 3d side scroller game type.

check if the is in air? in the animBP set up correctly.
for crouch > enable can crouch? in the character movement component.
call for the crouch function on key event
for further modification there is a event on crouch start.
