How to change ExitTime at runtime?

Hello,

I have a predefined Animator. There are different characters created at runtime that are using this basic Animator.
Each character has specific exit time from death animation to corpse. For one it's 0.5 for another it's 0.7.
[Idle] ---> [Death anim] ---> [Corpse anim]

Is it possible to change specific transition exit time at runtime?

I found a solution with UnityEditor.AnimatorController but it doesn't work in build.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEditor.Animations;
3.  
4. AnimatorController ac = DeathAnimator.runtimeAnimatorController as UnityEditor.Animations.AnimatorController;
5.         foreach (var LookupState in ac.layers[0].stateMachine.states) {
6.             if (LookupState.state.name == "DeathAnim") {
7.                 foreach(var DeathTransition in LookupState.state.transitions){
8.                     DeathTransition.exitTime = this.DeathExitTime;
9.                 }
10.             }
11.         }

I also need to use specifically defined ExitTime since some game logic depends on it.
I'm checking if animation reached ExitTime on specific character because it affects other characters actions.
Having this value defined will allow mecanim alignment with game logic. Otherwise incorrectly set value by hand may result in a bug.

 

Hey,

I think it's possible, but it's not simple. You can check out this post for somewhat of an answer: https://forum.unity.com/threads/a-s...n-animation-while-button-is-held-down.520862/

If you want a really simple solution, you can check out Animancer: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/animancer-lite-116516

It allows you to easily choose when an animation ends through code. You can try it out for free, but the pro version is paid. I've been using it for a while and it solves a lot of the problems I was facing with mecanim, so I think it's worth it, but your mileage may vary.

Best of luck!

 

Just thought I'd also mention an alternative solution.

You can use

Animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).normalizedTime;

to get the current normalized time of animation and then transition out using code at different times for each character.

I don't recommend doing this though, as I imagine it could be a pretty big pain to set up.

 

Thank you!

I also like the idea with normalizedTime.

 

One year later and I moved to Animancer. And I have zero regret even though I had to rewrite like 20% of the code.

At least for my project Mecanim is hell while Animancer is heaven.


Thank you very much for suggesting it!
