I have one idle animation and then a death animation
I only want these animations to occur let’s say 1 minute after the beginning of the game instead of the animations occurring immediately.
How can I do this?
Alternatively, is it possible to add a trigger so that the death animation plays on the character after the trigger has collided with player.
What code do I need for this?
All the trigger based animation tutorials out there play animation clips but basically I want to play an animation controller of a character after a certain time or event.
Just create trigger in mecanim and add it to transition, so when the trigger is set, the transition will be triggered. To set trigger use animator.SetTrigger(“triggername”); when you want transition to be executed.
Just as @Maxpeinas said, you will have to set up a trigger parameter in the Animator Controller and use that to transition from state to state. I would recommend watching this tutorial from the Unity Learn site:
Additionally, the whole animation section is very helpful for explaining things like what you are trying to do. Unity Learn: Animation. In the videos, the interface might look at bit different because it has changed over versions, but all the core functionality is the same.
