Hi, I am trying to get a 3rd person character to be able to run forward, and when an input in the opposite direction is pressed, he will stop in place, perform a turn animation, before continuing running.
I have been going in circles, trying to create a condition that allows UE to read when the character direction changes by 180 degrees to no avail. Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance! 
Hi, have you ever figured out how to do this?
haha 4 years for an answer. Really tho @Hector-c5 you should have posted a new question but as we here i can enlighten you a little.
the logic would be “block player inputs” > stop player > perform the turn animation and make sure the character is facing the right way > allow player inputs
so:
Disable Input | Unreal Engine Documentation
Stop Movement Immediately | Unreal Engine Documentation
Play Animation | Unreal Engine Documentation
Enable Input | Unreal Engine Documentation
You could also use play montage if thats what you wish instead of animation.
Blocking player inputs is your own personal preference
