How can I take a Float Variable from a PlayerCharacter Blueprint and call it in an Animation Blueprint?

I have a player chracter blueprint that has all the settings for the player. It has changeable stat bonuses that i want to use to change animations. In this case running to sprinting. So i have the standard blendspace for idle–>run. Then in the player blueprint I have, At button press, increase max speed. The amount that the button press changes the MaxSpeedSprint (floatvariable) is dependent on an AgilityBonus variable. Theres also a MaxWalkSpeed float variable.

What I want is for my animation blueprint to compare the characters current speed (easy and done), to the MaxWalkSpeed float variable. Using something like Speed>MaxWalkSpeed=true in order to enter the next transition.

Basically the MaxWalkSpeed and MaxSprintSpeed will change throughout the game and the animation transition should follow suit.
I assume it has something to do with casting but i cant seem to get it to work.

Hi man ,
You have to get the reference to your characterPlayer. and from that get his variable.
You can set a variable “actor tipe” to store manually in the editor (from a scroll down) the instance of you char.
Otherwise you can use the node “get all actor of class” to search in Runtime, for all the Char-instance.
Then pin out the “Get 0” , from the array. and now you can set and get all his variable.
