Right-click on your character mesh and click "Assign Skeleton". Next, pick the **Manny** skeleton from the Tactical Shooter Pack.

**Note**: This will only work with models rigged to the UE5 Mannequin. Pick the **Manny** skeleton from the Tactical Shooter Pack.

Open the blueprint, go to "Class Defaults" and set "Parent Class" to "ABP\_CopyPose".

Go to the `BP_TacticalShooterCharacter` blueprint, add a new Skeletal Mesh Component and parent it to "Mesh".

Select the new mesh component and assign your custom character mesh and the animation blueprint.

Finally, select the "Mesh" component and set its visibility flag to false.

Search for "Anim Tick" and set it to "Always Tick Pose and Refresh Bones".
