AnimationEvent help - Solved

I have used the code posted here
http://forum.unity3d.com/viewtopic.php?t=15644&highlight=animationevent
It looks like the event is correctly triggered on animation clip end, but I get the error "<myFunctionName> has not receiver".
Could somebody kindly help.

Many thanks.

 

What this means that that your AnimationEvent is trying to call back with a function name that doesn't exist.

You can supress this error by flagging the event like this;

myEvent.messageOptions = SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver;

However it implies the function name you specified in your AnimationEvent is missing.

Does this help?

One more thing;

When the event is handled a SendMessage is used to call the function name you specify, and this function must exist in the same level in you hierarchy (or possibly lower), not in a component in a parent object, as AnimationEvent does not use SendMessageUpwards.

Thanks for the help.
please kindly find the source code here: it looks like the <<don't send message>> option does not fit my requirements, so I need to understand why the event handler is not recognised by the animation event

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var mySkin : GUISkin;
3. var animatedGameObject : GameObject;
4. var horOffset = Screen.width * 0.18;
5. private var animationEvent : AnimationEvent;
6.  
7. //Solved: move this function to a script attached to the animatedGameObject
8. function AnimationEnded(animEvent : AnimationEvent){
9.  
10.     animatedGameObject.animation.CrossFade ("idle");
11.    
12. }
13.  
14. function Start(){
15.  
16.     animationEvent = new AnimationEvent();
17.     animationEvent.time = animatedGameObject.animation["attacco"].clip.length * 0.9;
18.     //animationEvent.messageOptions = SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver;
19.     animationEvent.functionName = "AnimationEnded";
20.     animatedGameObject.animation["animation1"].clip.AddEvent(animationEvent);
21.     animatedGameObject.animation["animation2"].clip.AddEvent(animationEvent);
22.    
23. }
24.  
25. function OnGUI () {
26.     GUI.skin = mySkin;
27.  
28.     if(GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width * 0.0 + horOffset, Screen.height * 0.75,Screen.width * 0.18, Screen.height * 0.25),"")){
29.    
30.         animatedGameObject.animation.CrossFade ("animation1");
31.        
32.     }
33.  
34.     if(GUI.Button (Rect (Screen.width * 0.20 + horOffset, Screen.height * 0.75,Screen.width * 0.18, Screen.height * 0.25),"")){
35.    
36.         animatedGameObject.animation.CrossFade ("animation2");
37.        
38.     }
39. }
40.  

 

I got it now.
The function handling the animation event must reside in a script attached to the animated object.
I had not understood your suggestion in the first go.
Thanks again.

 

Hi, Im trying to make some animation events to work, first I try with this example:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public SimpleEventReceiver _EventReceiver;
3. public AnimancerState activeState;
4.         _EventReceiver.onEvent.Set(activeState, (animationEvent) =>
5.         {
6.             Debug.Log("_EventReceiver");
7.         });
8.  

The I put in the animation some event called "Event" with no params (or params, is the same for the case)
And I get an error "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." because dont recognize the "animationEvent" param for some reason.

I try to create directly a public void function called "Event", in the same controller, and in this case is executed, so im not sure what im doing wrong.
