Montage does not play from Gameplay ability blueprint

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint

Hi all,
I’m implementing a simple Gameplay Abilities System in my project but i’m stuck: my Gameplay Ability GA_Sword_Strike is called correctly from the character blueprint, but the animation montage does not play.
I tried a simple call to Play Montage from the character BP and it works fine.
The Play Montage And Wait in the Gameplay Ability GA_Sword_Strike always get cancelled, I don’t know why (nothing is shown on the character)
Any ideas?

Update: PlayMontage instead of PlayMontageAndWait works fine. Can’t say why. I’ll use PlayMontage and see if it’s enought.

To play an Animation Montage in the PlayMontageAndWhait, you need to add a Slot to your Animation Blueprint with the Slot Name as on the Animation Montage.

Check if you put ASC on your Player State or you Pawn Character, If you ASC on your PS, it cant work direct
