First off, Thank you so much Chyros for assisting me within such a quick time and in such a detailed and clear manor! Really appreciate it.
So I have completed anim graph as per your suggestion with the conduit node (which I had no idea even existed so I’ve learnt about that [ thanks 
] ), not sure if I had put the correct transition rule IN the conduit node itself but here is the graph.
Whilst this does function as intended. It appears due to the animation, it cannot be smoothly completed using the anim graph. perhaps I need traces that fire off in front of the character, that way certain booleans can be checked to allow for better conditions in the animBP.
By the time the character is falling the animation is played too late. It needs to be played before the character has fallen, it seems. Here is a video to the result of your suggestion:
Any thoughts?
Once again, thank you for your time and help
