## What it is
A community-maintained Unreal Engine plugin replicating and optimizing the Advanced Locomotion System V4 for Unreal Engine 5.4, implemented fully in C++ with replication support and bug fixes. It is now in maintenance mode, receiving only engine compatibility fixes.

## Use cases
- add realistic character locomotion to an Unreal Engine 5 game
- get network-replicated ALS V4 movement with low bandwidth usage
- use advanced locomotion as a plugin instead of a project template
- optimize animation blueprints with new property binding in UE5
- implement mantling and footstep decals/particles on characters
- migrate ALS V4 projects to Unreal Engine 5.4

## When to choose
- you need a replicated, optimized ALS V4 implementation for UE 5.4 on Windows or Linux
- you prefer C++ plugin integration over marketplace project files
- you want community bug fixes and Enhanced Input support on top of ALS V4

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new UE5 project and can use Epic's Lyra sample instead
- you need guaranteed support for console, Mac, or mobile platforms
- you need active feature development rather than compatibility fixes

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: animation, game-engine, simulation
- domain: cross-platform
- platform: windows, game-engine
- tags: unreal-engine, ue5, locomotion, character-animation, replication, cpp-plugin, alsv4, game-development, linux
