About Casting to AnimBP_Alien

[Kusano974]

I have an issue which i think i understand what is going wrong, but i am completely lost on how to solve it.

While taking part in this challenge to re-create the anim graph for the alien, i get this error that the >>cast to AnimBP_Alien cannot refer to a pawn (i followed the same step as the marine anim graph but the marine is a character)

Any help would be appreciated ! becausei cannot progress further in the course since i am stuck in that step.

Thank you so much !

The Animation Blueprint is not the same thing as a Blueprint. In this case, you need to cast from a class/BP derived from a Pawn. You probably want BP_Alien and then get the Animation Blueprint from that.
