Change animation parameter through entering a state?

Questions & Answers
1

I know you can set an event in an animation and it will send a message to a script where you can then change parameters, but is there a way to have an animation parameter change simply by entering or exiting an animation state or going through an animation transition. Really any way to do it outside of a script?

In the animator, go to your desired animation state, click on “Add behaviour” and create a new one. Then you can communicate with the animator in certain event functions. An example from my code:

public class AnimatorResetBoolAtEnd : StateMachineBehaviour {

        [SerializeField]
        private string booleanVariableName;


        // OnStateExit is called when a transition ends and the state 
        //machine finishes evaluating this state
        override public void OnStateExit(Animator animator, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex)
        {
            animator.SetBool(booleanVariableName, false);
        }

       
    }

You should be using StateMachineBehaviour. You may reset the value of your animation parameter to its default value to prevent state changes.

I’m running the " RollerBall " scene from the standard assets pack , running over various NPC’s I’ve added . I want them to die when a collision occurs . I can’t get the " Any State " in the Animator component to work .
