UAnimInstance::Montage_IsPlaying

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.0

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if the specified montage is currently active and playing (not paused, not blending out).

Signature

bool Montage_IsPlaying(const UAnimMontage* Montage) const

Parameters

Name	Type	Description	Default
Montage	const UAnimMontage*	The montage to check. If NULL, returns true if any montage is playing.	—

Return Type

bool

Caveats & Gotchas

• Returns false during blend-out — the montage is still technically active but Montage_IsPlaying will be false. Use Montage_IsActive() if you need to detect the blend-out phase.
• Passing NULL returns true if ANY montage is currently playing.

Example

Gate an action on montage completion C++

if (UAnimInstance* AnimInst = GetMesh()->GetAnimInstance())
{
    if (!AnimInst->Montage_IsPlaying(AttackMontage))
    {
        // Safe to play next action
    }
}
