UE5 Lerp Over Time Notify State (ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL & SIMPLE FUNCTIONS!!!)

Hey everyone! Back with a brand new tutorial after a while showing you how to make one of the most simple yet powerful functions ive come across - using animation notify windows to create a useable lerp value over that window duration.

In this video we will be using C++ to make a very simple function that will output a value from 0 to 1 over the windows duration. Allowing you to easily lerp transforms, vectors, rotators, floats, or even multiply a value over the window duration! So many possibilities with something so simple! I will also show you how to easily modify the function to instead go from 0 to 1 and back to 0 over that same duration!

Function Calls:

virtual void NotifyBegin(USkeletalMeshComponent* MeshComp, UAnimSequenceBase* Animation, float TotalDuration);

virtual void NotifyTick(USkeletalMeshComponent* MeshComp, UAnimSequenceBase* Animation, float FrameDeltaTime);

virtual void NotifyEnd(USkeletalMeshComponent* MeshComp, UAnimSequenceBase* Animation);
