With the player movement Blend Space created and the player character Animation Blueprint using a State Machine to transition from movement to jumping, you are ready to move on to the next chapter, where you will prepare the required animation slot and animation montage, and then update the Animation Blueprint for the throw animation, which will only use the upper body of the character.
