MecAnim SubState Animation Complete

Attempting t$$anonymous$$s in Unity 4.6 and below will result in a huge mess of unmaintainable code (made that mistake a w$$anonymous$$le back). But with Unity 5's s$$anonymous$$ny new State Mac$$anonymous$$ne Behaviours you can easily monitor a sub-state with a few lines of code. In order to do t$$anonymous$$s we'll need to monitor a bool parameter on our Animator component.

Add a new bool to the animator representing when you are in your sub-state such as "attacking." T$$anonymous$$s worked best for me since I'm monitoring the end of my attack animation sub-state.

On your desired sub-state mac$$anonymous$$ne, add t$$anonymous$$s script by selecting it and clicking "Add Behaviour".

 public class SubStateMonitor : StateMac$$anonymous$$neBehaviour {
    [SerializeField] string myBool;

     override public void OnStateEnter(Animator anim, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex) {
         anim.SetBool(myBool, true);
     }
 
     override public void OnStateExit(Animator anim, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex) {
         anim.SetBool(myBool, false);
     }
 }

You can now check if the sub-state mac$$anonymous$$ne is running anywhere with the following code snippet.

 Animator anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
 bool isSubState = anim.GetBool(myBool);

SOLUTION!!!

The above author might have made a typo. We do not want to overwrite OnStateEnter() or OnStateExit(); we want to overwrite OnStateMac$$anonymous$$neEnter() and OnStateMac$$anonymous$$neExit(). Put t$$anonymous$$s in your new script and remember to define your boolean in the Animator state mac$$anonymous$$ne, and enter the name in the serialized field in the editor:

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class SubStateMonitor : StateMac$$anonymous$$neBehaviour
 {
     [SerializeField] string myBool;
     override public void OnStateMac$$anonymous$$neEnter(Animator animator, int stateMac$$anonymous$$nePathHash)
     {
         animator.SetBool(myBool, true);
     }
 
     override public void OnStateMac$$anonymous$$neExit(Animator animator, int stateMac$$anonymous$$nePathHash)
     {
         animator.SetBool(myBool, false);
     }
 }

You can do the same boolean check as before (`animator.GetBool("YourBooleanNameHereInQuotes")`);

ORIGINAL POST

So, I can test when I'm inside a state mac$$anonymous$$ne now but it doesn't seem to recognize when I am inside a state anymore with (for example)

if (animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).IsName("First_Punch"))

inside the state mac$$anonymous$$ne "Attack_Punch"

EDIT I have confirmed that when I am inside an animation state INSIDE a submac$$anonymous$$ne, that inside the new behaviour script we wrote for the submac$$anonymous$$ne, we automatically go through OnStateExit(), w$$anonymous$$ch turns our new boolean to false. T$$anonymous$$s may be because I am already checking to see if I am inside another animation state (see IF statement above) and Unity can't allow me to be in two animation states at once (or check for it, or perhaps it has somet$$anonymous$$ng to do with indexing). During the transition between animations, the I can see that OnStateEnter() is ran again and the new boolean's value is true again.

So t$$anonymous$$s is either an unfortunate oversight or (preferably) I am forgetting to do somet$$anonymous$$ng when I run my existing code inside an IF statement that does if (animator.GetBool("sm_Attack_Punch")){ //Existing code, if statements here}.

Can somebody please clarify?

In the above state mac$$anonymous$$ne, if I attach the behaviour to Battle_JumpAttack, check that I am inside that state mac$$anonymous$$ne, and provided that is true, check that I am inside the first state called Jump_Start_Beginning, the current state will not be Battle_JumpAttack anymore when I am running the first animation.
