UAnimInstance::WasAnimNotifyNameTriggeredInStateMachine

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 in the specified state machine during the last frame. Name-based counterpart to WasAnimNotifyTriggeredInStateMachine.

Caveats & Gotchas

• The name is matched against the notify asset name, not the notify class. If multiple notify assets share the same name the result is true if any of them fired.
• Returns false when queried on a machine index that is not currently active (e.g. a disabled layer). No warning is emitted.
