UAnimInstance::GetLinkedInputPoseNode

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.24

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Retrieves a linked input pose node by its node ID and optional link index. Used internally by the animation layer system to connect input poses from the outer graph into linked animation layer instances.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns nullptr if the node ID is invalid or the linked layer has not been initialized yet. Always null-check the result before accessing the pose node.
• This is primarily an internal function used by the animation layer linking system. Direct use is rare — most layer interaction should go through the higher-level LinkAnimClassLayers and GetLinkedAnimLayerInstanceByClass functions.

Signature

FAnimNode_LinkedInputPose* GetLinkedInputPoseNode(int32 InNodeId, int32 InLinkIndex = 0)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
InNodeId	int32	The ID of the linked animation layer node in the graph.	—
InLinkIndex	int32	Index of the input pose link when the layer has multiple inputs.	0

Return Type

FAnimNode_LinkedInputPose*

Example

Access linked input pose node C++

// Typically called internally by the animation system.
// If you need to inspect a linked input pose:
if (FAnimNode_LinkedInputPose* InputPose = AnimInstance->GetLinkedInputPoseNode(NodeId))
{
    // Access the linked input pose data
    const FCompactPose& LinkedPose = InputPose->GetPose();
}
