Character & Animation

Hello, I’m new to programming and Unreal Engine. In my project I wanted to make character open doors in a more realistic way; so i am trying to get the character to play door opening animation (With character armature) and door animation itself at the same time and match them up. My question is how to get both door and character animations play at the same time as game detects on which side of the door the player is and if door is open? I know, the problem is not very clear so any ideas that might help are highly apperaciated.

More details:
-There will be multiple animations for ex: “Open door loud from inwards, Close door stealth from outwards, etc…”. and all are played on both Character and door.
-When played animation, character moves to certain location & rotation in order to hands to match with door’s animation.
-I tried to add two collision components on the door (one for inside & one for outside) in order to determine in which side the character is.
-If i were to add a target point for the player location & rotation inside and outside the door, should i have to repeat the same for all of the doors in the map since i think target points can’t be parented to components.
-I am not seeking to do a simple 90 degree rotation on the door, instead I will try using pre-created animations i made.

The attachment is the basic blueprint i’m trying to make it work and it does not work well as it is too complicated.

Thank you for your attention regarding this post.
