Animator Send Event on Complete

[KellyRay]

Maybe I am just dumb, but I can't seem to figure out how to get my events to trigger based on a finished animation like you can on the legacy animation actions.

Would be super cool to have that send event action on the animator side of things as well!

Thanks!

Hi,

 ok, you need to do the following.

-- add a "PlayMakerAnimatorMoveProxy" to your gameobject with the animator on.
-- use the action GetAnimatorCurrentStateInfo and record the variable "Normalized Time", when it's above 1, it means it reached the end, above, it's looping basically.

 I'll see if I can make a specific action for this that automatically do this work under the hood.

 this is the unity way btw, as there isn't a callback yet (afaik) for when an animation is ended on a state.

 Bye,

 Jean

Thanks Jean,

I've gotten around the issue by adding a wait action and then typing in the length of the animation from the inspector properties. I wonder if there is a way to make that apart of the action?

Hi,

 yeah you could do that but that's hardcoded and would be difficult to maintain and prone to bugs, as 6 month down the line you'll change that anim and forget to update the fsm with th enew clip length. I would always strive to find a solution that will work by itself.

 Also, keep watching for the up coming release of PlayMaker and my port of the Unity learn project "2d platformer", I am doing exactly the solution I proposed and it works well. I admit not as easy as an action drag and drop, I'll make an action for this ( I found what seems to be a good small framework to match an fsm state with mecanim states, that would be great if I can make that happen).

 Bye,
