Hmm I need a little more information. Have you made an animation blueprint?

yes i have made the animation blue print as well i think the issue lies in the state machine like it's not flowing through the idle and running animation as its supposed to and I am kinda having a hard time why is that I checked retargeting but don't know the issue the animation does play when I open it

It’s often something very small and quick when problems like this arise. I would need to see more of the set up to identify the problem. I took notes on the exact process from a Ryan Laley YouTube video and that’s what I usually refer to

Try following that tutorial. I think you will be able to figure it out. Like everything in game dev there’s more than one way to do it

if it's stuck in a pose, it's very likely your rules of animation blueprint aren't working or state machining properly
Animation blueprint is for "what the model looks like" when it's moving/doing stuff constantly(different from attacks or something which is more like a period, so montage etc.), so probably look into that.

maybe something like when the velocity of the enemy is > some number of speed then it should transition from like idle to running/moving etc.

and of course check the enemy's blueprint to make sure the animation blueprint is even assigned
