Animation event - triggers three times

I have an animation with no content but the animation event on 0:00.

Loop is disabled for this animation.
I did read that Animation events have issues with being triggered first frame in animation, but I wasnt able to find a solution or a workaround for this.

Any recommendations ?

 

I recommend checking out Animancer (link in my signature) which is a much better animation system and has its own Event System that doesn't have any issues with events not getting called (as far as I know, and if it did then I could fix them much faster than Unity fixes things).

But having an empty animation is a prety unusual use case. What are you trying to achieve with it? Maybe there's a better way to approach the whole problem.

 

Probably isn't worth it to implement a whole new system just for this one event I use.

My problem is a little different
I have an animator which has 9 states created in a circle.
First eight of these states I override everytime they played through. I use the 9th state to trigger the overwrite. Hence the 9th state triggers the overwrite of 1-8 and sets a trigger to start the circle again.

I was doing research and found the animation event, which would be quite handy to trigger once for the overwrite.

 

A StateMachineBehaviour might be the way to go. You could use the OnStateExit of the 8th state and wouldn't need the 9th at all.

 

Ok I read about it somewhere..not sure how to use it with animatior, but guess I get research done about this, thank you !
