What is the difference between Montage Is Playing and Montage Is Active?

Hey there,

Ive been stumbling upon these two nodes and I cannot really make sense of what exactly is their difference. It seems an animation montage can be active, but not playing, is that correct? If so, how does the lifecycle of an animation montage look like? Im having a hard time finding the documentation describing when an animation is active instead of playing.

Here is what the nodes look like:

Thanks so much in advance!

Hello! Normally if a montage is playing, both of these functions will return true. If a montage is paused (not stopped, but paused) - MontageIsPlaying will return false, but MontageIsActive will be still true.
