Mannequin Feet Not Moving During Custom Animations

@Rift3k

applied to the “Control Rig” node

In my case, I needed the IKTrace to also be excluded when dodging or in a specific combat state.

You lost fastpath.
You should not do OR or AND apparently.

@L.F.A

The harder way: create another condition that, if playing montages with full body, disable Foot IK control rig, which will require more code.

See here, just the NOT works fine (which is amazing? I think most of us got used to nothing working and just dealing with having the right value to begin with).

But cheers again, I’m sure the GetThirdPersonCharacter bit will help clean stuff up when it gets more complex down the road. TY!

Theoretically you shouldnt.
The animation blueprint is to be devoid of any code.
The variables of the animation blueprint should be changed from the character blueprint directly.
The animation Graph, shpuld then use the saved ABP Variables directly.

You would think that just queriing the variable from the character in ABP is faster - it isn’t.

Setting the ABP variable from the character (without the character having extra variables) is faster.

Btw, in the case of multiple conditions triggering a single boolean (mentioned above).
Make a new single boolean. Manage how that value changes directly from the character. You can keep the same AND/OR logic and just set the variable accordingly as part of the normal process.
Possibly not on tick but if you need it to be every frame, then that is OK too.
