Title: Animation events appear to be heavy
Post by: ShawnMiller on August 13, 2020, 08:10:19 AM

Hi all, would be great to know if anyone has seen large spikes in their profiler when using animation events.

I appear to be getting them even if I set it to only trigger the events to empty states in the FSM.

Would be great if anyone has seen this and/or has a workaround. I'd love to keep using the events if possible.

Thankyou!!

Hi.
Sorry i have not notice that yet.
But in our project we hardly use parameters.
we do use Animator Play a lot.

I assume you mean this type of animation event:

Can you confirm the method you’re calling on the target FSM?

Hi.
I misunderstood the question,
I actually not noticed the spikes yet, but i did notice some delay when i used Send Event.
Instead i am using 'Set State' but i definitely need to look now if its also gives spikes and maybe better make a script to handle sending events.

As i assume it is slower due to mirroring?

Hi all, thanks for the replies!

Yep, I'm using Send Event, and no, no mirroring, I generally avoid that :P

And yes Alex thats the type I'm sending to trigger the FSM event, I set them here though, but I asume they are the same.

Hi.
I think The Animator Event itself is Mirroring to expose the selections.

Maybe you can try Set State instead.
As string set the state name that you want to activate (instead of the Event)
