AN_TFA_UnlockActions is the simple notify used to reopen gameplay input after a montage-driven lock window. It is commonly used at the point where a reload, inspect, or equip action has progressed far enough that the player should be allowed to act again.

• Equip or unequip actions

• Inspects

Owner Requirement

---

This notify only works when the active animation is playing on a mesh owned by BP_TFA_BaseCharacter.

---

Notify Blueprint Flow

---

This notify is implemented in Received_Notify. It gets MeshComp.GetOwner(), casts the owner to BP_TFA_BaseCharacter, sets bIsBusy = false, and returns false. If the cast fails, nothing happens.

Readable Blueprint Flow

Received_Notify
  -> MeshComp.GetOwner()
  -> Cast to BP_TFA_BaseCharacter
  -> Character.bIsBusy = false
  -> ReturnValue = false

Despite the name, this notify currently unlocks gameplay by clearing one main gate: bIsBusy. If your project later adds more granular locks for reload, ADS, or firing, this pattern will likely grow with it.

---

What It Unlocks

---

bIsBusy is the general busy gate on BP_TFA_BaseCharacter. When it returns to false, the character can resume input-driven actions as long as no other gate is blocking those actions.

See Base Character (BP_TFA_BaseCharacter) for other places that also clear bIsBusy, such as the weapon-animation stop path.

---

Placement Tips

---

• Place it at the earliest frame where input should feel safe to re-enable

• If your montage uses sections or alternate branches, make sure every valid path still hits the notify

---

Troubleshooting

---

• The player stays locked

  • Make sure this notify is reached on every montage branch or section path

  • Check for other gates besides bIsBusy, such as ADS blocks or sprint restrictions
