FMontageSubStepper::GetbPlayingForward

function Engine Since unknown

#include "Animation/AnimMontage.h"

Access: public Specifiers: constinline

Description

Returns whether the sub-stepper is currently advancing the montage position forward rather than backward.

• Named GetbPlayingForward rather than the more common IsPlayingForward — it retains the UPROPERTY-style "b" boolean prefix directly in the accessor name.
• Reflects the sub-stepper's own internal direction flag, which can momentarily differ from the owning FAnimMontageInstance's play rate sign during a direction change until the next Advance() resyncs it.

bool GetbPlayingForward() const { return bPlayingForward; }

bool

Checking playback direction during stepping C++

// Engine-internal usage
if (!MontageSubStepper.GetbPlayingForward())
{
	// Handle reverse-playback branching point logic
}
