Setting an int with Animation Event with C#

Questions & Answers
1

I’ve tried looking at docs, but it only gives examples in javascript. I have an int called “currentState” which is equal to 1. I want to set this variable though an Animation Event, but I don’t understand how. This is what I’ve tried (doesn’t work):

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class cubeState : MonoBehaviour {
	public int currentState = 1;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
	
	}
	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
       Debug.Log(currentstate); //only displays 1, even though I set "2" in animation event
	}

    //I call animationState function from the Animation Event with value of "2"

	public int animationState(int currentState ){       
		return currentState ;
		
	}
	
	void animationStateReset(){
		currentState = 1;
	}
}

The currentState returned from your animationState function is the same one being passed in, if you want to set the class variable to that value, do this instead:

public int animationState(int currentState ){  
    this.currentState = currentState;         
    return this.currentState;
}
