Change speed of animation for a particular animator?

Hello

I have a unit with an animator and i want to adjust the movement speed relative to his velocity. So i have something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. animator.SetFloat("MoveState",unit.actualVelocity.magnitude);
2. animator.speed = Mathf.Clamp(unit.actualVelocity.magnitude,0.5f, 1f);

The problem is, it is changing the speed of all the animations not a specific one. I want to only adjust the speed of the walk animation for the character in question. How can i reference just that specific animation to adjust it's speed without adjusting the other animations like turning etc?

 

Its a obscure since it was a feature tacked on in 5.1 Follow these steps:

1. Bring up the Animator window -- Under Window Menu its right below all the windows that have Ctrl Shortcuts. Its dockable so just dock it next to your scene
2. Click on your animator (Prefab or the one in your scene). it should show the States and how they are linked to the individual animations.
3. On the far left is 2 tabs that say Layer and Parameter. Click on Paramter. Below it click the + button and choose float. This will create a New Float you can rename that is currently set to 0.0. Change its name to whatever you like: AnimMultiplier for example. and set its value to 1.0
4. Now Click on your Animation you want to have its speed changed. You will see its speed is set to 1 and below it is a greyed out Multiplier. Check the Parameter box, then Choose AnimMultiplier from the drop down
5. We are done with the editor

Now in your code you can adjust the speed like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public Animator animator;
2. void ChangeStateSpeed()
3. {
4.     animator.SetFloat("AnimMultiplier", 2.0f);
5. }

 

How did this guy not thank you, this was a life saviour for sure! Thanks!

 

Agreed, very helpful.

 

That doesn't explain why setting "animator.speed" didn't work, though. Why doesn't it work?

 

Incredibly helpful, thank you!

 

YOU ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST,
TIP: make sure it is of type float not int
