You can create a UI in Unreal Engine 4 using Unreal Motion Graphics (UMG). UMG allows you to construct a UI easily by dragging and dropping UI elements such as buttons and text labels. In this tutorial, you will learn how to: Create a heads-up display (HUD) that displays a counter and a timer; Display the HUD.
If you are new to Animation Montages, it is recommended that you read the Animation Montage Overview before proceeding. 
This page covers how to set up an Animation Montage and the options within the Montage Editor. 
Adding Animations to a MontageTo get started, the first thing you will need to do is add the Animation Sequences that will comprise the Montage inside the Montage area. 
To do this, inside the Asset Browser window drag-and-drop an Animation Sequence into the Montage Slot track. 
Once you drop the animation on the Slot track, the animation will be added. 
You can drag-and-drop additional animations that you want to add to the Montage onto the Slot track and they will be added sequentially. 
Animations will automatically alternate between the first and second Slot tracks to help distinguish where each animation starts and stops. 
You can also left-click and drag-and-drop the animations on the Slot track to re-order them. 
Right-clicking on an animation in the Montage area provides the following context menu:

Problem gambling statistics. Stats for the US: The gambling industry in the US is worth $261 billion and holds 1.8 million jobs. Most of these are in Nevada as gambling is actually banned in most states. The global Gambling market was valued at US$ XX.X Mn in 2018 and is projected to increase significantly at a CAGR of x.x% from 2019 to 2028. Online gambling companies are likely to expand their sport betting options after sport betting was legalized in the United States by the Supreme Court, in 2018, which is further supporting the market's growth. However, stringent regulations related to online gambling are expected to hinder the market.
Unreal Engine 4 Animation SlotsSelecting Duplicate Slot will copy all animation segments into a new Slot track. 
When adding or duplicating a Slot, you will see a warning at the top of the Montage indicating that the current Slot name is already in use and that all Slots must be unique. This is because the new Slot track will be set by default to use the Default Group and Default Slot that are created when the Montage was created. You can change which Anim Group you are in, and which Slot you are using from the drop-down menu to the right of the Slot track. 
You may need to create a new Slot, which you can do from the Anim Slot Manager by clicking the Magnifying Glass button. This button will open the Anim Slot Manager panel. 
Click the Add Slot button (or Add Group button based on your needs) and assign a new unique name. 
Above, we created a new Slot called Prone to which we can add our prone reloading animations.
You can right-click a Slot or Group in the Anim Slot Manager to access a context menu with additional options.

Section RelationshipsAfter you have created the Sections for your Montage in the Montage area, you can define the Sections' relationships to each other in the Sections area. 
By default, all Sections are set to play sequentially, indicated by the single Section track containing each of the Sections. 

Pressing the Clear button will assign a single track for each Section you have created. 
Pressing Create Default will return all Sections to the single Section track.
In our example, we have a Start, a Loop, and an End. We want the Montage to play the Start section immediately, followed by the Loop section. Once we get to the Loop section, we want to keep looping that Section until the End Section is told to play through Blueprint or C++.

To do this, we first click the Start Section in the Section Track. 
We can now define what Section should follow the Start Section, so we click the Loop button at the top of the Section area. 
When we do this, Loop is added, and it follows Start on the first track. When we click Loop on the track, then click the Loop button at the top, Loop will turn blue. 
Since we associated Loop with itself, the system knows that we want this Section to loop. 
We can preview this by clicking the Preview button on the track we want to preview and the Play button from the toolbar at the bottom. 
In this example, whenever we call the Start section to play in either the Standing or Prone Slots, it will play the assigned Start animation before looping the assigned Loop animation. This enables us to play the animation of reloading as many times as we need to, based on gameplay variables such as whether the player is performing a full or partial reload. We can then call the End Section to play, and return to an idle pose whenever we have determined that we are finished reloading. 
To remove a relationship for a Section, click the X button next to the item. 
Removing the relationship for the Loop section causes it to stop looping. 
Unreal Engine 4 Animation Slot MachineAdditional OptionsThe Element Timing area is used for informational purposes and is covered on the Animation Montage Overview page, in short, it enables you to see at a glance the sequential playback order of any Sections, Notifies or other Events.Animation Notifies enable you to set up events to occur at specific points in the animation while Animation Curves provide a way to change the value of a Material parameter or a Morph Target while the animation is playing back. 
The Timeline at the bottom of the Montage Editor enables you to playback the Montage, step forward or backward through the Montage, loop the preview playback or create a new animation object by recording Bone manipulation from the Viewport. 
Montage PropertiesThe following is a breakdown of the Montage asset properties available from the Asset Details window:
Unreal Engine 4 Animation Slot Free PlayPlaySlotAnimation() and PlaySlotAnimationAsDynamicMontage() are a bit strange because the Asset parameter is of the UAnimSequenceBase class, but the function name suggests that you pass it an animation montage (UAnimMontage) and it plays a slot in that montage. When in reality what actually happens is that the function is expecting an animation sequence to use to create an animation montage, and the slot name you pass it is the slot name in the new dynamically generated montage. In fact the first check in the code is to see that it is NOT an animation montage:
So if you pass in an animation montage, the asset will always be marked as NOT valid and the function will exit.
In other words, you can't use PlaySlotAnimation() or PlaySlotAnimationAsDynamicMontage() to play a slot in an animation montage that already exists. You'll just have to create multiple animation montages and use MontagePlay() to play them.
Unreal Engine 4 Animation SlotThis is a bit of a strange design decision, if someone from Epic could clarify as to why there is not a function to play an animation from an existing montage that would be awesome; maybe I just missed it? The function naming is poor though IMO, something like PlayDynamicMontage() may have been better. I would be interested to hear someone else's thoughts though.
