UAnimInstance::GetCurrentActiveMontage

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: ENGINE_APIconstBlueprintPureUFUNCTION

Description

Returns a pointer to the first active montage found on this anim instance. When only one montage is expected to be playing, use this as a quick way to retrieve it without keeping a direct reference.

Caveats & Gotchas

• If multiple montages are active simultaneously (e.g. one blending in while another blends out), this returns only the first one found — the ordering is not guaranteed. Use Montage_IsActive with a specific reference when precision matters.
• Returns nullptr if no montage is currently active. Always null-check the result before calling any further montage functions on it.

Signature

Example

if (ActiveMontage)
{
	AnimInstance->Montage_Stop(0.25f, ActiveMontage);
}
