About

This is a project level plugin (useful for BP only users) to fix a crash in Unreal 4.22.

install

To install, drop the SetAnimInstanceClassFix folder as is, inside the Plugins/ folder of your project.

example: <your game folder>/Plugins/SetAnimInstanceClassFix/

use

• This replaces "Set Anim Instance Class" (Target is Skeletal Mesh Component) node. It's a temporary fix till the real one lands in Unreal itself.

• The node is under "4.22 Workaround | Anim BP" as "Set Anim Instance Class Fix":

• Keep your original set anim instance class node, rewire around it. Add a todo comment for when Unreal fixes this. When it does, you can undo and delete the plugin.

notes

• It's built against Unreal 4.22.2 but should work with 4.22.x as far as I can tell.
• Only built for Win64 (can add Mac easily if requested).
• It shouldn't need c++ enabled or installed.
• Not sure if it needs to be enabled from the Plugins settings menu inside Unreal.
