Resolved Start animation with no delay

Hello!

I encountered an issue that I am not sure how to solve or how to search for it.

Right now I have set up an object with a sprite called 'Destructive Obstacle'. It has 2 children: anim, holding the animation, and Trigger_PlayerClose holding the BoxColliderr 2D for the trigger (see the picture).

When the player gets close, the trigger... well... triggers and the animation is played. Initially I used this code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
2.     {
3.         initialSprite.a = 0f;
4.         parent.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = initialSprite;
5.         animcontrollerDestuctiveObstacle.SetBool("playerEntered", true);
6. }

But... using this leads to the alpha of the sprite set to zero (so fine so good) but then the animation doesn't start immediately. There is a break of about 10 frames where nothing is visible.

I thought about incorporating fixedupdate or update into this.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void FixedUpdate()
2.     {
3.         if(playAnimation == true)
4.         {
5.             animcontrollerDestuctiveObstacle.SetBool("playerEntered", true);
6.         }
7.  
8.     }
9.     private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
10.     {
11.         initialSprite.a = 0f;
12.         parent.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().color = initialSprite;
13.         playAnimation = true;
14.     }

... but as thought this does not solve the problem. Since I can't see the reason for this behaviour I am kinda lost. For every hint I'd be grateful.

Thanks,

Andreas

 

I had times set under Settings of the animation. Now I deacitvated exit time and everything works flawlessly. Of course you find that immediately after posting
