ACharacter::GetCurrentMontage

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: constUFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns the animation montage currently playing on the character's mesh, or nullptr if no montage is active.

• Returns nullptr both when no montage has ever played and when a montage has fully blended out — callers must null-check the result.
• If multiple montages are layered via different slots, this returns the montage playing on the root slot only. Check UAnimInstance directly for slot-specific queries.
• On simulated proxies the result reflects whatever the local AnimInstance believes is playing, which may lag behind the authority by one replication tick.

ENGINE_API class UAnimMontage* GetCurrentMontage() const

class UAnimMontage*

On Tick, check whether any montage is currently playing Blueprint

Check whether a specific montage is currently active C++

UAnimMontage* Current = GetCurrentMontage();
if (Current == AttackMontage)
{
    // Attack animation is still running
}
