Cannot get an animation montage to trigger on keystroke

Development Programming & Scripting

Hello,
I’m trying to get a gunfire animation montage to trigger on my (action mapped ) keystroke.
It simply won’t respond, I have the slot setup in the animation blueprint, and assigned in the montage.
I am struggling and I’m thinking it probably is something simple that I’m not seeing and I need help…
