Add to read-only fbx animation clips

[FeastSC2]

I’ve been using 2d animation clips so far but now that I’m in 3d I can’t animate additional objects other than the bones in the animation clips from the fbx format. How could I sync up a hitbox activating with my 3d animations or how can I send events in the same animation clip?
It would be too weird to make another animation clip or to activate those by scripts at the right time.

Ok I found that under the Animation tab there’s a possibilty to add events and curves.

Why are the animation files read as fbx are read-only? Is there a particular reason?

because if you modify them, on the next import your modification will be overriden. So you have two options: 1 . you can duplicate your animation clips to edit them, I wouldn’t recommend this if you know that you will edit again your animation. 2. you can embedded the animation events in the model importer, like you do when you import an animation but from script. see https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ModelImporterClipAnimation-events.html and https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReferenc…
