How to animate a character drawing images

[L1z4rD89]

Hey @teknonomicon

you could let the character draw the shapes. You would use a render target

So the hand of your character would move in a circle and draw it on e.g. the black-/whiteboard.

To start / stop the drawing when switching the shape or when your character picks up the piece of chalk you could use Animation Notifies.

How can I listen for anim notify events in Blueprints?

I have a skeletal mesh component within a blueprint class which plays an animation. At some point in the animationSequence, an anim notify event is triggered and I would like to handle it in the blueprint class that called it. How can I go about listening for anim notify events in the blueprint? Thanks Note: This is not in an anim blueprint - the skeletal mesh is not a pawn, and the bp inherits from a class other than animinstance
