Play Montage works but Play Anim Montage Does not work

So… i’m confused.
just for testing purpose i have the same montage being used to play but one using the Play Montage node and the other using a Play Anim Montage node. Both running inside the character blueprint.
Is there something I’m missing? I don’t think I’ve ever encountered this before.

Hey @gotagamee!

Do you have the default slot plugged into the main output pose of the Anim Graph in your anim blueprint?

If not, you can right click on an empty space on your Anim Graph, search for “default slot” on the menu that pops up, then hit "Slot ‘DefaultSlot’ " to place the node, plug its Source pin into your existing state machines / anim layers or anything else, whatever it comes down to at last, and plug the node into the main out pose.

Hope this helps :blush:

Oh yes, i pretty much everything setup for playing a montage. Which is the reason why i’m more confused since one node works and the other doesn’t when it’s using the same montage. It’s not something crucially important to fix at the moment for my project so I might come back to it later though. Thanks anyway.
