    I'm trying to manage the third person character controller from the timeline, for example I would like to set a destination point and move the caracther in that position.
    How can I write a custom playable behaviour that take the control of the controller?

    acutally i need to just pass a float parameter to the animator from the behaviour or mixed behaviour script, yes i could use a navmesh but I'm tring to do it in this way, and I think there should be a way no?

    The asset has a tool called Timeline Playables Wizard,you can use it to generate a animator custom track with a float parameter

    animator.setfloat("ParamName",value) should work from timeline. Does value have the correct value?

    Here's some sample code to set a float value in a clip and then use that value in a PlayableBehaviour. You will then be able to take that value and apply it to the animator.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. public class CustomAsset : PlayableAsset
    2. {
    3.     [SerializeField] public float position;
    4.  
    5.     public override Playable CreatePlayable(PlayableGraph graph, GameObject owner)
    6.     {
    7.         var playable = ScriptPlayable<CustomPlayableBehaviour>.Create(graph);
    8.         playable.GetBehaviour().position = position;
    9.         return playable;
    10.     }
    11. }
    12.  
    13. public class CustomPlayableBehaviour : PlayableBehaviour
    14. {
    15.     public float position;
    16.  
    17.     public override void ProcessFrame(Playable playable, FrameData info, object playerData)
    18.     {
    19.         Debug.Log("Float is : " + position);
    20.         Animator animator = playerData as Animator;
    21.         animator.SetFloat("MyCurve", position);
    22.     }
    23. }
    24.  
    25. [TrackClipType(typeof(CustomAsset))]
    26. [TrackBindingType(typeof(Animator))]
    27. public class CustomTrack : TrackAsset { }
