[Solved] Random Mecanim Animation on trigger enter?

[Playnoob]

Hi All,
 I'd really appreciate if I could know the steps needed to trigger a random mecanim animation depending on entering a 'trigger' zone.

I understand there is a play random animation action, but this is for legacy and not mecanim.

This would really be a good action to have.
The nearest I came in searching was this: http://hutonggames.com/playmakerforum/index.php?topic=4492.0

But it is still a little beyond my programming knowledge.
Any help on how would be appreciated.
Best Regards.

no one?

To do this- I put all the animations I wanted to be random in a blend tree- then I used Playmakers random int to create an int which I converted to float- I used that as a parameter to trigger a random animation on the blend tree-

Thanks for replying mdotstrange.

Blendtrees while I know I will have to learn them eventually... I gave the problem another look and came up with this:


• Downloaded the Mecanim actions via the Playmaker resource tab (this was key to the solution - because these actions were not in the core playmaker package
• created a variable to store 'string'

The rest is in the attached picture.

Was easier than I thought, but yeah that happened after the whole animator/mecanim extension was downloaded.

marking this thread, solved.
Cheers.
