Can't send animation event
« on: July 23, 2015, 01:34:33 PM »
I've been trying to send an animation event on my animation clip, but no functions can be selected. I think I read somewhere that you cant send an event if there is more then one FSM on the object. Is this still a limitation, and is there a workaround?

From what I understand its Unity's limitation and yeh it was still there last time I tried-

To workaround it- add the events to the imported animation file if the animation was created in a 3d app

If its a Unity animation you have to apply the events to an object that only has one FSM

Maybe I can just create an invisible object that goes at the same frame rate as the animation I need an event for. And just send the event to that animation and just group it under the character? And when that fsm/animation plays, just activate the game object?
