Trying to get Character's "on ground" status from PlayerController

Development Programming & Scripting Blueprint
1

I am putting my “Crouch” scripting inside the PlayerController and it works, but I want to add a check to execute the crouch routines only if the player is standing on the ground… meaning he should not be allowed to crouch if he’s in mid-air (jumping, falling etc).

I can’t seem to find any way to check if the Character is standing firmly on the floor… any ideas? I Googled and was told to use Is Flying but that seems to be an AI component and does nothing for the player Character.

there’s a isInAir (or something like that) I believe it is that the animations use to check the state of the player character that you might be able to access and use. I know there is an isFalling

if that isn’t the correct name you should be able to find it in the Player Characters animation BP

Use “Is Walking” to perform your check

That works perfectly, thanks!
