Event Graph

Animation Blueprint: Event Graph Setup

• Creating Animation Blueprint

• Location: Mixamo folder > Animation Category

  • Select “SK Mixamo XBot Skeleton”
  • Name: “ABP_Mixamo_XBot”

• Graph Types

• Animation Graph

  • Handles animation blending states

• Event Graph

  • Manages code functionality
  • Sets animation states

• Event Setup Chain

• Event Initialize Begin Play

  • Get Owning Actor > Cast to Character

    Promoted to “character” variable Used as reference for active character

• Character Movement Processing

  • Get Velocity > Vector Length

    Promoted to “speed” variable

  • Speed Check

    If speed > 0 = character moving Promoted to “is moving” variable

  • Is Falling Check

    Promoted to “is falling” variable Will be used for jump mechanics

• Direction Calculation

• Get Actor Rotation Process

  • Velocity > Rotation from X vector
  • Delta Node Connection

    A part: Actor rotation B part: Rotation from X vector

  • Z-axis Inversion

    Promoted to “direction” variable

The event graph setup creates a chain of calculations that process character movement and state. This system handles speed, direction, and state variables that will be used to control animation blending.
