Mecanim - automatic SetBool after animation ends

Simple problem, I've got action which sets some bool to true (anim.SetBool).
Now, animation which will be played has exit condition on Exit Time = 0.85 and I wan't to play this once.

The problem is, when it goes to this animation, plays once, I have no idea how automaticly set bool flag to false.
Animation is going over and over again.

So the question is, how SetBool can be switched when animation ends ( has exit time ).

 

On the file is it set to loop? Turn that off and it should play only once.

 

No, it has no loop. It's looping because transition has boolean set to true. So it's going with transition to animation, exits from animation when condition is Exit time = 0.85 and go again.

 

In script, where you set your bool to true, then immediately set it back to false. The "true" setting just triggers it to start, but then setting it back to false will not cause it to stop if the exit condition is set to Exit time.

 

Same problem here!

 

it actually does. as soon as I set boolean to false animation stops playing

 

You could use a yeild WaitForSeconds or set it to false after one frame....

 

well, I know that this is an old topic,
but instead of setting a boolean you could fire a trigger, so you don´t have to use a CoRoutine to set the boolean back to false.

@repipz01 Thanks man

 

You save my life)

 

Resurfacing this for an issue I'm having.

What if I need to set a script bool (not an animation bool) back to false once a trigger animation is finished? I need it to be true during the animation, then false after. But if I place the false in the code, it's immediate and is false DURING the animation, which does not work.

 

@jleven Try using Animation Events.

@repipz01 Thanks man

 

Hi @Deecann, what you can also do is to set an event function on your animation which will call your anim.setBool code.


Ex : On this exit time (0.85) or at the end of the animation as shown below, place an Event function Stop.


Then in script

Code (CSharp):

1. private void Stop()
2. {
3.    anim.SetBool(true);
4. }

When dealing with animation, I prefer to work with events, which is cleaner and offers more control on the animations. I hope it helps.
