Hi, Im using animation event to call Sheath but nothing happens the weapon is still on the characters back not in the hand. The "weapon" points to the Sword parented to the weapon sheath game object (the active one)



Edit: My bad I was calling the wrong method, it should be Unsheath

 

Hi skinwalker,

I see you already figured out. The methods for Animation Events are 'Sheath' for placing the object back to its sheath and 'Unsheath' for taking out the object to the hand. There is more info in the Documentation.

I also recommend to check out the State Machine Behaviour example script, depending on your animation system it may be helpful in some cases since Animation Events are sometimes skipped if they are between animation transitions. Using State Machine Behaviour ensures the method is called.

 

I dont use the animator I use Animancer
I dont think I can use the state machine behavior in that case, maybe I can try calling the method from code?

 

Yes you can try calling Sheath and Unsheath from code using Animancer. Take a look at AnimancerState.Time and AnimancerState.NormalizedTime to get the correct point of the animation where the Sheath or Unsheath should happen.

 

I like the plugin and the animations you provided work great on my characters (saves me a lot of time). About the animation events Im sure there wont be a transition to interrupt the event, Im using behavior trees and I basically go like this

Play equip animation (with the sheathe event) -> Wait 1 second -> Switch to combat animation

 

Thank you very much! I think it won't give you trouble but if you find something not working just mail me to support@keviniglesias.com
