Why is mecanim Animation Event not Firing when on last frame?

Questions & Answers

This is one of my biggest frustrations with Mecanim. If you place an animation event on the last frame of an animation it seems as though there is no guarantee that it will be called. I have set the Exit time to 1 and the transition duration to 0 in order to mitigate the issue of the transition interfering with the event but I still have the issue.

I have attached a screen shot of the animation with the event and the transition info. If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong it would be much appreciated.

So I discovered what I was doing wrong.

When using an event on the last frame two things need to be done:

  1. Make sure that your transition in Mecanim does not occur until the entire animation has finished playing
  2. Make sure your animation does not have “loop time” enabled. This appears to occasionally skip the final frame.

Do these two things and you should be in business!
