Timeline animated BP, within other BP

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Hey guys!

I’m completely new to the UE4 universe, and I can’t solve the logic behind this:
First of all I want to say that I’ve searched everywhere about how to do this before asking here, so sorry if the question is not very bright.

I have a Class Blueprint with an elevator door mesh, animated with a timeline to open and close (reverse), triggered by a custom “Opendoor”/“Closedoor” event.

I want to place this inside the elevator box Class Blueprint and play the timeline when I hit the input on a box trigger.

I’ve managed to place the Door BP as a childactor inside the Elevator BP, but I can’t figure out how (and even if it’s possible) to play the timeline animation somehow.

Any tips and orientation is more than welcome, and I apologize if I’m completely off track! :slight_smile:

Hey PabloCo-

I want to make sure I understand what your setup is to help give you a few ideas. You have two blueprints (elevator door and elevator box) and you are trying to call the elevator door blueprint timeline from a box trigger that is inside the elevator box blueprint? If my understanding is incorrect let me know how you have the elevator setup. If possible a screenshot of your blueprints would also be helpful.

Cheers
