UAnimInstance::WasAnimNotifyNameTriggeredInAnyState

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.11

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if a notify with the given name was triggered anywhere across all state machines during the last frame. The name-based equivalent of WasAnimNotifyTriggeredInAnyState — convenient for notifies created as assets without a custom C++ class.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Name matching is case-sensitive; a notify asset named 'footstep' will not match a query for 'Footstep'.
• Prefer the class-based variant (WasAnimNotifyTriggeredInAnyState) whenever a C++ notify class exists, as it is more robust to asset renames and supports compile-time type checking.
