UAnimInstance::WasAnimNotifyTriggeredInAnyState

function Engine Blueprint Since 4.11

#include "Animation/AnimInstance.h"

Access: public Specifiers: UFUNCTIONBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if a notify of the given class was triggered anywhere across all state machines in this AnimInstance during the last frame. The broadest of the WasAnimNotifyTriggered family — use it when you do not care which machine or state fired the notify.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Because this scans all state machines, a notify triggered in a low-priority or nearly-blended-out machine will still return true. Use the machine- or state-scoped variants when you need finer control.
• The check is frame-local: binding logic to this in AnimGraph thread-safe code and game-thread code in the same frame can produce inconsistent results due to evaluation ordering.
