How to do canceling/inturrupt animations?

[mojao]

Hello.Nice to meet you. My name is mojao.
Playmaker is great asset. Thanks.

I making action with smooth moves.
And i making my character by playmaker.
Then. i have a problem.

My character have some attack animations.
Now, i could created FSM "Idle" state to each attack action.
Each attacks have Loop to "Idle" state by FINISHED events, and animation controled by "Idle" state,so it can not do any action during attack.

So,I want to make system
(1)If animation is at canceling timing
(2)Press some attack button
(3)Cancel attack and do another attack

So , in summary, i want to make "always working animation listener".
If there is nice idea or keywords to search topic,im very glad .
Thanks your sincerely.

Hi,

 Are you using the new Unity 4 Mecanim animation system or legacy animation system?

bye,

Hi, dear jean. Thanks for your response.　I　feel very happy.

My using animation system is Smoothmoves.
It is a great asset for sprite based animation.

And Smoothmoves is compatible with playmaker , so i can get animation finish timing easily.

I think this asset is based on basic boneanimation mechanism on unity, so I would appreciate if i could get advice based on basic mechanism.

Thanks.  mojao

Hi,

 I don't own SmoothMoves, so It's difficult to provide help. Do you have a working sample provided with SmoothMoves that does have animation events?

bye,

Dear, Jean. Thanks for your kindness. I'm very happy.

Thank you for your advise.
Yes, there is a Smoothmoves tutorial for Playmaker.
But, it is  entirely satisfactory...。　But Smoothmoves is nice asset.
Propabry my wish can explain without Smoothmoves, so I will challenge .Sorry for bother you.


(1)In this screen , my default status is "wait".
    "wait" status have button checker for character controll.

(2)When button pressed, my character status change to"State1-copy1"(sorry for bad name because prototype).
    When this state started , my character do animation.
    When animation finished(i can get finish timing) , status be "wait".
    But,in this circuit,"State1-copy1"dont have character controller.
    So it does not do another animation still finish.
 
So,my wish is "How to access status "wait" anytime regardless of present status".

Thanks you for hear me.!

Perhaps my　plan  hard to do...? If it could do, im glad to hear advise.

Thanks you for your kindness!

You have to set a condition in the animation state that will check if a new attack is triggered every frame, and then send an event that starts the new animation.

Basically your "wait" state conditions should also be included in the "state 1 copy" animation state, so it still receives input during this time and can trigger a new event.

Or separate the input to a different fsm, and send attack animations only if certain conditions are met using Set/Get FSM variable actions.

Dear MABManZ.Thanks.
But i noticed i can develop faster write script myself.and not use playmaker.
thanks.
