SET ANIMATION SPEED*SOLVED*

[wallaceb68]

What is the best way to set the animation speed based on the speed the object is moving?

Hi,

 Are you using legacy or Mecanim?

legacy, thanks jean

jean, what i have is: an object that is moving on a itween path, and you know how when a path curves it slow's the speed down. well i would like to have the animation slow down also. what would be the easiest way?

Hi,

 You need to do some math and know your step stride and animation length, and then you use this stride and length as a base to compute the speed of your animation.

so, let's say your stride is 2 units per seconds ( In Unity units, be careful when importing fbx, it has  a scale factor).

if your object is moving at 10 units per seconds, then you need to set the animation speed to:

2 units/sec = 1
20 units/sec = ??

Your animation speed should be 20 *1 / 2 = 10. when the animation speed is set to 1, it plays at normal speed ( 2 units/sec), so we simply have to make a cross product.

Does that make sense?

I figured it out with your post on "get game object speed" action, i us that to set my animation speed by( with alittle tweeking from " float operator") an it worked! thanks for your help.
