Getting animator state length after crossfade

Hi everybody!

I'm having troubles getting the duration of the next state/clip after using Animator.Crossfade.

If I try to get it with Animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo() or Animator.GetNextAnimatorStateInfo() it seems to return the current and next state (if a transition is being performed, although 0) despite my crossfade call.
I guess Animator.Crossfade is not called immediately, so how do I get the length of the state i'm trying to crossfade to? Without using some coroutine trick to skip a frame and that kindy of dirty stuff.

Example code

Code (CSharp):

1. animator.CrossFade("StateName", 0.05f);
2. Debug.Log("Current state length: " + animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).length);
3. Debug.Log("Next state length: " + animator.GetNextAnimatorStateInfo(0).length);

Also, it would be awesome to be able to get any state by name/hash, but for some reason that's not possible. The only thing I can do is getting the runtimeAnimatorController and iterate over the AnimationClips and filter by name, but thats not good since the animation clip name may differs if i choose to change the animation someday, while animator state should not.

Thanks, and merry christmas

 

Hate to do so but bump

 

Had same exact issue and a Google search brought me here.
I realize this thread is quite old but figured I'd post a sort of "work around" that did not require coroutines and whatnot. Hopefully it will help someone.
I needed to return the length of the animation clip that I just cross faded to but both "GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo" and "GetNextAnimatorStateInfo" were not reflecting the state I just crossfaded to. For this to work though, your states and animation clips have to have the same name. Once you perform a CrossFadeInFixedTime, pull back a list of all the animation clips on the runtimeAnimationController, enumerate them and find the clip that matches the name of your state. Kinda ugly, but has been working for what I needed. I'm sure you could probably pre-load this information so you don't have to iterate through all the clips each time you cross fade and just do a lookup in a Dictionary or something for the info you need.

Unity 2022.3.6f1

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. // Set animation to crossfade
3. animationSetting.animator.CrossFadeInFixedTime(animationSetting.name, animationSetting.transitionDuration, 0, animationSetting.timeOffset);  
4.  
5. // Attempt to find the animation clip with same name as the state
6. for (int index = 0; index < animationSetting.animator.runtimeAnimatorController.animationClips.Length; index++) {
7.   if (animationSetting.animator.runtimeAnimatorController.animationClips[index].name.Equals(animationSetting.name)) {
8.     string clipName = animationSetting.animator.runtimeAnimatorController.animationClips[index].name;
9.     float clipLength = animationSetting.animator.runtimeAnimatorController.animationClips[index].length;
10.     Debug.Log(string.Format("Found clip named '{0}' with length '{1}'", clipName, clipLength));
11.     return clipLength;
12.   }
13. }
14.
