How to play 2 animations with different slots but overlapping bones in AnimBP?

Hey thanks for helping me again!

It’s not quite clear what you are attempting to do (even with the video).

IF the purpose is to be able to punch left and wave right, I believe you are going about it incorrectly.

My goal is for the guy is to play the punch left and right loop with left click held. Then on right click, play the waving animation.

So the issue right now is the waving animation is overriding the punching montage. Where when the punching montage is played, only the left hand is punching, and the right hand (from clavicle_r forward) remains stationary.

First, both your anim slots would have to be linked to the shoulders/clavicle, not spine 01. This already kinda destroys the punching animation which should twist the back, but that’s beside the point.

Yea I know haha, I’m just doing this as practice.

Second, the montage would have to be setup with the correct slot for each shoulder, and definitely not Spine01 - or else the montage playing the spine will override the shoulder animations.

So slots simply can’t have overlapping bones? What system would I use if I wanted to play an animation from the spine_01 and up, and another animation from the clavicle_r and up?
