UAnimInstance::Montage_SetPosition
#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"
Access: public
Specifiers: ENGINE_APIBlueprintCallableUFUNCTION
Description
Jumps the montage playhead to a specific time position without restarting it. Useful for scrubbing, network correction, or skipping to a specific frame.
Caveats & Gotchas
- • Jumping the position does not fire anim notifies that were skipped over — any notifies between the old and new position are silently bypassed. If your gameplay relies on those notifies (e.g. spawning effects), trigger them manually.
- • The montage must already be active. Calling this on an inactive montage has no effect; start it first with Montage_Play.
