# Animation

## GCCAnimInstance

Gameplay Tag Blueprint Property Mapping is a special structure in GAS that can be used in Blueprints to "bind" specific properties. It watches an ASC for tag changes and automatically updates properties on another class.

`FGameplayTagPropertyMapping`

The idea is simply that you can set a GameplayTag somewhere and then map it to a variable and then when you access the variable in your anim blueprint, it will match the tag.

### How Does It Work <a href="#how-does-it-work" id="how-does-it-work"></a>

1. Create an `animation blueprint` class with the parent of `CommonAnimInstance`.
2. Open your animbp class default and you should see `GameplayTags->GameplayTagPropertyMap->PropertiesMappings` ![Image](https://khxisaki.github.io/CommonGASDocs/img/gameplaytagpropertymapping.png)
3. Now, fill what gameplay tag you want to bind to a specific variable inside your anim bp.

Example:

Now, you should be good to go to manipulate the behaviour of that said variable to suit your need.
