AnimationAction - CodingDino/Dino-Unity-Toolkit GitHub Wiki

The AnimationAction component changes the values for parameters on an Animator component attached to the same GameObject, or a specified animator on a different GameObject. This can be used for playing walking or jumping animations, or any other animation you may have.

This is an Action component, and therefore must be triggered by a separate Activator component. Actions, Activators, and Data make up the core system for the Dino Unity Toolkit.

Image: AnimationAction is being used to change the values of the parameter on this animator, using an InputAxisActivator for movement and OnTrigger2DActivator for jumping.

Actions

This component has several Action functions that can be triggered by Activators.

ActionSetParameterName()

This action should be taken before setting a parameter's value - it is used to change what parameter will be affected by the value change for future Actions.

Parameter:	Description:
NewParameter	The name of the parameter that will be affected by future value change Actions.

ActionSetFloatParameter()

This will change the value of the current parameter in the animator. Use this for float (decimal number) type values.

Parameter:	Description:
New Value	The new value that the parameter will be changed to.

ActionSetIntParameter()

This will change the value of the current parameter in the animator. Use this for int (whole number) type values.

Parameter:	Description:
New Value	The new value that the parameter will be changed to.

ActionSetBoolParameter()

This will change the value of the current parameter in the animator. Use this for bool (true of false) type values.

Parameter:	Description:
New Value	The new value that the parameter will be changed to.

ActionSetTriggerParameter()

This will trigger the current parameter in the animator. Use this for triggers, which don't have values.
