Anim Sequence Play Rate and Anim Montage Rate Scale problems

xlar8or · January 1, 2015, 1:36pm

Hello, if i add an Animation Sequence to the Animation Montage and set the Play Rate to -1.0 the entry on the montage zone gets squished, the Percentage indicator below becomes -1.#J % and the Animation Montage doesn’t work. Another issue i’ve found is that if you add an Animation Sequence with Play Rate 1.0 and you set the Rate Scale of the Animation Montage to -1.0 the entries on the Notifies for that Animation Sequence won’t be executed, at least the PlaySound isn’t working. Thank you

Hi ,

Please let me know what version of the engine you are working with.

Thanks

Hi ,

Concerning the issue with the montage zone being “squished” when you add an anim sequence with a negative playrate, I’ve generated the following bug report, [UE-7583].

Thanks for your feedback

I tried to reproduce the second bug with a particle effect in place of a sound but was unable to reproduce the bug (the particle effect played successfully.) Have you tried other notifies besides the sound?

No, i just noticed that it didn’t play the sound when playing the Equip animation from the Shooter Game after i set the play rate to -1.

The issue UE-7583 has been reported as fixed and I’ve tested this in the UE4.8 release. Please let me know if you are still experiencing a problem with reverse playback.

I am using version 4.8.2 and have trouble getting montage to play in reverse. I have one weapon equip animation. I created two anim montages (EquipMontage, UnEquipMontage) and set the playrate to UnEquipMontage to -1.0f.

EquipMontage works in game but UnEquipMontage will not play. Even though it works fine in the editor when adding animations, notifies to the montage etc.

My solution was to make a copy of the original animation. So I had two equip animations. I added one to EquipMontage and the other to UnEquipMontage. Then I set the playrate on UnEquipMontage to -1.0f and it is working now. The animation plays and all notifies etc are firing. I did not change any setting on the animations they are exact duplicates.
