ACharacter::IsPlayingNetworkedRootMotionMontage

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.6

#include "GameFramework/Character.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Returns true if the character is currently playing a root-motion montage with RootMotionMode set to RootMotionFromMontagesOnly, which enables the networked root-motion code path.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns false for montages that use RootMotionFromEverything or NoRootMotionExtraction even if root motion is visually active — only the dedicated networked mode triggers this flag.
• On simulated proxies, this reflects the locally simulated state, not necessarily the server's current state. Check RepRootMotion.bIsActive for the last replicated authority value.
• The networked root-motion code path incurs additional per-frame RPC bandwidth; avoid leaving characters in this mode when root motion is not actually needed.

bool

Example

Gate logic on networked root motion being active C++

if (IsPlayingNetworkedRootMotionMontage())
{
    // Disable manual movement input while root motion montage drives the character
    GetCharacterMovement()->DisableMovement();
}
