UAnimInstance::SetReceiveNotifiesFromLinkedInstances

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.24

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: BlueprintCallableUFUNCTION

Description

Controls whether this anim instance processes animation notifies fired by its linked child anim instances. Enable this when a parent anim graph needs to respond to events generated in a child layer.

Caveats & Gotchas

• This is a runtime toggle — you can switch it on or off mid-play. However, any notify that already fired while the flag was false will not be replayed when you enable it.
• Enabling this on an instance with many linked children can increase notify processing overhead each frame, particularly when the linked instances fire frequent notifies.
