Hi All,

I have a mesh, and would like to bind a function in my class to its AnimInstance’s OnMontageEnded delegate.

e.g.

```
Arm->GetAnimInstance()->OnMontageEnded.Add(something)

```

For the life of me I cannot figure out what the “something” should be.

// Function declaration in header  
void OnAnimationEnded(UAnimMontage\* Montage, bool bInterrupted);

```
// In implementation
// Declare delegate
FOnMontageEnded EndDelegate;
 // Bind it
EndDelegate.BindUObject(this, &UMyClass::OnAnimationEnded);
//Set it
MyAnimInstance->Montage_SetEndDelegate(EndDelegate);

```

Fantastic! Remember to Set the EndDelegate after you play the Animation Montage! Caused me a bit of headache trying to find out what was wrong with my code, but I figured it out eventually. This post was a life-saver!

Same here.I too had a headache because of that, Is there any specific reason why the binding works only if it is binded after the montage is been played?Thanks
