Hey,

How do I handle animations correctly in C++?
I would like to do as much as possible in C++, so can anybody help me? :slight_smile:

Hello,

To play animations from C++ you can do the following:

  if (CustomAnimation != NULL && CustomMesh != NULL)
     {
         UAnimInstance* AnimInstance = CustomMesh->GetAnimInstance();
         if (AnimInstance != NULL)
         {
             AnimInstance->Montage_Play(CustomAnimation, 1.f);
         }
      }

Please, however, note that you also need to add FullBody slot to your animation Blueprint and make sure it is used in all necessary Anim Montages.

Hope this helped!

Good luck!
