[solved] Use Axis Vector for animation blending

[marvmiller]

I can use the Get Axis Vector to read the vector of the joystick, but how do I do tests for deciding which animations to blend based on that input.  For example, if stick is back, I should switch to jogBackwards state, if stick left, switch to strafeLeft state etc.  If its BACK and Left, then I'd like to blend between those 2 states somehow.

I'm thinking it would be useful to have some visual representation of a stick which allows us to define areas (direction and magnitude) for triggering events.

Hi,

 I think you are looking for this new action that let you wire events based on the direction of the vertical/horizontal inputs:

Regards blending, it would be already something after this dispatching events.

Oh..  that was rather foolish of me.  For some reason I thought that Axis Event only triggered as a boolean.  Ok, got it..

Hi,

 You actually can get input axis as boolean with Input.GetButton() .GetButtonDown() and .GetButtonUp(), they only give you hints about the input state, not it's actual value.
