UAnimInstance::StopSlotAnimation

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.8

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintCallable

Description

Stops the dynamic montage playing in the given slot node and blends back to the base pose over the specified time. Pass NAME_None to stop all active slot animations simultaneously.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Passing NAME_None stops every slot animation on the anim instance — including slots managed by other systems. Be explicit with slot names in complex anim graphs.
• This only affects animations started via PlaySlotAnimationAsDynamicMontage; regular UAnimMontage playback started with Montage_Play is not affected.
