Find name of the default (orange) animation clip?

Unity Engine
1

Hello!

Is there a way, in an editor script, to find the name of the clip attached to the default (orange) animation from the Animator component?

We’re able to get the nameHash, but we need to get a reference to the clip itself (from the project).

Thanks!

You can do this in the editor using UnityEditorInternal, but I don’t know any way to get it in a build. Say you already have nameHash and layer:

UnityEditorInternal.AnimatorController ac = GetComponent<Animator>().runtimeAnimatorController as UnityEditorInternal.AnimatorController;
UnityEditorInternal.State defaultState = ac.GetLayer(layer).stateMachine.GetState(nameHash);
string defaultClipName = defaultState.name;
AnimationClip defaultClip = defaultState.GetMotion();

(Pardon typos; I typed straight into the forum editor.)

Awesome, thanks – we were thinking it’d be an internal thing. Thanks so much!
