Can you make a blend tree only play one animation at a time?

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to set up a blend tree for a top down 2d game, in which I use bone-based animation, so to effectively have my unit facing side-to-side, as well as up and down, I need to store those in three separate gameobjects, ROOT > UP, DOWN, SIDE

To properly animate that when I walk to the side, I want the animation to disable UP and DOWN and enable side, and so on for the other directions

The problem is however the blend tree tries to combine the animations together so it is firing the keyframes that turn gameobjects on and off even though that animation isn’t playing.

That’s resulting in there being multiple versions of my gameobject facing different directions

Any way to force the blend tree to only play the animation with the highest value?

Is it a problem with how your parameters are set up? make sure when you move side to side it’s not hitting SIDE and UP/DOWN

Hi,

I also having this problem, the solution that I got is to include another four motion field in the blend tree that will show when you do diagonal movement. It will also make your animation ready if you ever decide to make it a 8 directional movement.
