Can't Find Animation Event functions
« on: September 04, 2015, 12:29:32 AM »
Hi, the manual page for the Sending Animation Events didn't say how to get the SendEvent() function to appear in the Editing Animation Event menu. Any ideas?

It should be there as long as one fsm is on the object you are animating- if you have more than one fsm on the object the functions won't show up-

If you are working with animation imported with a 3d model you can add the animation events through the animation tab on the model itself

Oh.
Indeed, I had two FSMs on my character. Still not sure why there can only be one, but thanks for ending this excruciating effort to get my Bowser to shoot his fireballs on time!

Yeh unfortunately its a Unity limitation from what I understand- glad you got your Bowser working  :)
