Importing animated models - possible?

I am seeing in the docs that animated FBX is not supported. Is it still the case? Asking because how else would I create AI NPCs (enemies, etc.) or animated weapons or even just props without bringing in animated models.

    Importing animated fbx is not available for MHCP members yet. The workaround is to import static meshes, group them and animate them once in the world, using scripting or recording a manual animation.

      Ugh, that sounds like an unnecessary hassle. It's basically unrolling your own custom animation system.

      Any idea when we get to enjoy built-in animation support ?
