Animator does not make transition if speed = 0

Question

I have an animator with two states: Idle and Running. I have a variable called "speed" used to make the transition between states and also "speed" is the multiplier for the Running state clip speed.

In code I tie the speed of my character with t$$anonymous$$s "speed" animator variable but when the character comes to a stop, the animation freezes and the animator is kept in the Running state. If I remove the multiplier, the states changes as expected but t$$anonymous$$s is not the behaviour I want, because my character can move at variable speeds.

So after a lot of tests, I came to the conclusion that if the animation speed is 0, then it won't make a transition until speed is greater than 0.

Any ideas to overcome t$$anonymous$$s limitation?

Change the translate time from percentage to fix duration.

I'm having t$$anonymous$$s exact same issue. Does anyone know of a solution?

EDIT: Actually, I t$$anonymous$$nk I may have figured it out. Regardless of whether or not the clip uses an exit time, I t$$anonymous$$nk you need to set the transition time to zero. That appears to have fixed it for me.

To add to this fix, I had to uncheck the box "Has Exit Time". Just setting the "Exit Time" to 0 didn't fix it in my case.

Check if the idle animation has been imported to loop, as it may be playing only once.
