This is a really dumb question I have as a newbie, but I haven’t been able to find the answer anywhere. In a lot of tutorials, I see this play anim montage node:
I can’t seem to find this specific node that includes the notifies, only this node without them:
The image in the top left corner is different, so I know it’s a different kind of node. Where do I find that first node? I need to use notifies for some animations I’m trying to implement.
Here, this will help.
There are several ways to find the right node, you can click anywhere on graph (or tab) and search for nodes that way, you can drag of a reference (blue) variable (2nd image), and in “most” cases only the options that can be applied to this specific reference type will be shown.
There are some exceptions of course, but you pick them up as you go.
Last resort would be unchecking “context sensitive” box and trying to find it that way but it’s probably easier just to google it.
So, the one you’re calling is a function (target is character) and you want to get the one for skeletal meshes (2nd image). Play Montage is a special node, which is indicated by the different icon on the node. Regular functions have the “f” letter in them.
Hope that helps.
Just keep in mind since its a ‘latent’ node it wont show up in functions only the event graph
This did help, thank you!
