Title: [Solved] Get Animator Current State Info - wrong output?
Post by: Kubold on April 09, 2014, 10:15:56 AM

Hello!

"Get Animator Current State Info" instead of giving me current State name, gives me Base Layer's name. I thought it will give me the name of the current State node playing...?

Not sure if it is a bug, or I misunderstood what State is. Anyway, I need to be able to tell PlayMaker which mecanim node (which state/blendtree) is currently being played. It seems this action should do it, but in the "State Name" variable it just says "Base Layer 0" all the time.

Thanks!

Hi,

 yeah, I am not too sure myself why, typically, I use instead the action "GetAnimatorCurrentStateInfoIsName" where I can then properly compare it with say  "Base Layer.FullJump".

 in the mecanim example you can see that in action in the prefab "Character PlayMaker TargetMatch" fsm "Target match" in example "Target Match PlayMaker".

bye,

 Jean

Ok, thanks! That's a reasonable workaround, maybe even better.
