Asset path: /Game/InfimaGames/TacticalFPSAnimations/Common/Core/Animation/ANS_TFA_HideMainMag

ANS_TFA_HideMainMag is the notify state used when the weapon’s visible main magazine should disappear for part of a reload animation. It is usually paired with a hand-held magazine prop so the player sees the correct visual handoff instead of two overlapping magazines.

Notify State Blueprint Flow

---

This notify state is implemented through Received_NotifyBegin and Received_NotifyEnd, and it only works when the animation is playing on a mesh owned by BP_TFA_BaseWeapon.

Begin

1. MeshComp.GetOwner()

2. Cast to BP_TFA_BaseWeapon

3. Call SetMagazineVisibility(bVisible = false, bIsReserve = false)

4. Return false

End

1. MeshComp.GetOwner()

2. Cast to BP_TFA_BaseWeapon

3. Call SetMagazineVisibility(bVisible = true, bIsReserve = false)

4. Return false

If the cast fails, nothing happens.

Readable Blueprint Flow

Received_NotifyBegin
  -> MeshComp.GetOwner()
  -> Cast to BP_TFA_BaseWeapon
  -> Weapon.SetMagazineVisibility(bVisible = false, bIsReserve = false)
  -> ReturnValue = false

Received_NotifyEnd
  -> MeshComp.GetOwner()
  -> Cast to BP_TFA_BaseWeapon
  -> Weapon.SetMagazineVisibility(bVisible = true, bIsReserve = false)
  -> ReturnValue = false

---

Parameters and Behavior

---

This notify state has no exposed parameters. It always targets the main magazine, which means bIsReserve is always false.

SetMagazineVisibility is socket-driven. It finds the components attached to the main magazine socket and toggles HiddenInGame, rather than searching for a component by name.

The weapon already spawns its magazine actors on BeginPlay. Those actors are usually Base Magazine (BP_TFA_BaseMagazine) instances attached to CurrentConfig.SocketMagazineAttachment.

---

Placement Tips

---

• Start the state a little before the magazine should visually leave the weapon

• End the state after the replacement magazine is seated and should be visible again

---

Troubleshooting

---

• Nothing happens

  • The montage is playing on a mesh that is not owned by BP_TFA_BaseWeapon

• The wrong magazine hides

  • Confirm you used Hide Main Mag and not Show Reserve Mag
