GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo return an empty array

Hi,

After starting an animation I try to get the current clip length using the following code :

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.         animator.SetTrigger ("hide");
3.        
4.         //AnimatorStateInfo currentStateInfo = this.animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
5.         //float currentStateInfoLength = currentStateInfo.length;
6.         //Debug.Log("currentStateInfoLength : " + currentStateInfoLength);
7.  
8.         AnimatorClipInfo [] infos = this.animator.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo (0);
9.    
10.         Debug.Log("infos.Length : " + infos.Length); // infos.Length equals 0
11.        
12.         AnimatorClipInfo currentClipInfo = infos[0]; // this line will return an error
13.        
14.         AnimationClip currentClip = currentClipInfo.clip;
15.        
16.         float currentCliplenght = currentClip.length;
17.        
18.         Debug.Log("currentCliplenght : " + currentCliplenght);
19.  

The SetTrigger method works as expected and the desired animation is correctly played.

What is very weird is that this code used to work very well but sometimes it just does not.

Any idea why ?

Thank you

 

Have the same issue. Unity 5.3.1

 

After some test I find out that if I wait something like 0.1 seconds then animator.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(0) does return a non-empty array ! It is not very convenient to have to wait before be able to retrieve those kind of information.

Don't know if it's a bug, but if it's the case I hope it will fix soon.

 

Bug occurs while animator in transition

 

use a coroutine to check if anything is in the array before continuing. Like kiupe says, its an error that happens while the animator is in transition, since it has nothing to fill the array with.

Code (CSharp):

1.        while (anim.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo (0).Length == 0) {
2.             print ("*******THE ARRAY IS ZERO, LETS WAIT");
3.             yield return null;
4.         }
5.         float f = anim.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo (0) [0].clip.length;
6.  

Tada )

 

Just to share, when `GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo` returns an empty array while in transition, we can access animation clip infos of the transition with `GetNextAnimatorClipInfo`

 

Yep--this is what I needed to know!
