## What it is
An Unreal Engine 5 plugin that integrates the Advanced Locomotion System (ALS) overlay layering system into the Game Animation Sample's Motion Matching setup. It provides overlay poses, linked anim layers, a weapon attach system, and an overlay switcher widget for character locomotion.

## Use cases
- add ALS-style overlay poses to a motion matching character in UE5
- layer upper-body weapon poses on top of base locomotion animations
- switch animation overlays at runtime with a UI widget
- attach weapons to characters with basic attachment logic
- build a next-gen locomotion system for an Unreal Engine game

## When to choose
- you use Unreal Engine 5's Game Animation Sample and want ALS overlay layering
- you need modular locomotion overlays via linked anim layers
- you want a community-driven starting point for a full locomotion system

## When to avoid
- you don't use Unreal Engine 5 or the Game Animation Sample
- you need a production-ready, fully featured character system out of the box
- your project requires permissive licensing (this is UE-Only licensed content)
