Narrative Pro – Horse Mount Interaction Setup in Unreal Engine 5.6

In this video I show how I set up horse and mount interaction using Narrative Pro in Unreal Engine 5.

I go through:
– Horse Blueprint as a Character (not Narrative NPC)
– Adding the MountInteractable component and mount slots
– BP_HorseMount: mount animation, root motion and MountPoint on the horse skeleton
– GA_HorseMount ability: PossessMount, GetMountingSkeletalMesh and exit interaction
– Fixing character animations (Default Slot in AnimBP and Override AnimBP for riding)

My English is not perfect, but I hope the tutorial is still useful.
Subtitles / transcript are available in the video.
