Question by el_kloklo · Sep 07, 2014 at 08:20 PM · animationanimatormecanimaiming

With animator, ow to transit quickly from an animation, and transit back without replaying the complete animation

Hi Guys,

Here is my situation :

I have an animator for 2D character composed with skeletal sprite

I've got a state with an animation which allow my character to aim from up position and descend to the down position, and a copy of this state which play the same animation but with negative speed. alt text

I also have a neutral state with no action on the relevant element (the arm and torso)

In term of animator, I make a transition from the neutral to the relevant slide of the orientation (aim upper or lower than the current position, boolean value based in code on the position on the redline), and a transition which come back to neutral state once no boolean require to look up or down.

alt text

My issue is that I want the animation to stop when the desired position is reached, and restart from the same position in the relevant direction when requested.

  • with no modification of the transition, the animation is played to longly to have an efficient exit form the state.

  • with transition set to almost zero, the exit from state seems to be ok, but when I move back to aim up or down state the animation is replayed from initial position.

  • It also seems that the neutral state, even with no curve for the concerned elements, store some position for these elements.

Maybe there is a simplier way to handle this, but I'm quite new with animator and transition.

Thanks in advance for your time.
