Description

The Animator Controller controls animation through layers with state machines, controlled by parameters.

Variables

layersThe layers in the controller.
parametersParameters are used to communicate between scripting and the controller. They are used to drive transitions and blendtrees for example.

Constructors

AnimatorControllerConstructor.

Public Functions

AddEffectiveStateMachineBehaviourAdds a state machine behaviour class of type stateMachineBehaviourType to the AnimatorState for layer layerIndex. This function should be used when you are dealing with synchronized layer and would like to add a state machine behaviour on a synchronized layer. C# Users can use a generic version.
AddLayerUtility function to add a layer to the controller.
AddMotionUtility function that creates a new state with the motion in it.
AddParameterUtility function to add a parameter to the controller.
CreateBlendTreeInControllerCreates a BlendTree in a new AnimatorState.
GetBehavioursReturns all StateMachineBehaviour that match type T or are derived from T.
GetStateEffectiveBehavioursGets the effective state machine behaviour list for the AnimatorState. Behaviours are either stored in the AnimatorStateMachine or in the AnimatorLayer's ovverrides. Use this function to get Behaviour list that is effectively used.
GetStateEffectiveMotionGets the effective Motion for the AnimatorState. The Motion is either stored in the AnimatorStateMachine or in the AnimatorLayer's ovverrides. Use this function to get the Motion that is effectively used.
MakeUniqueLayerNameCreates a unique name for the layers.
MakeUniqueParameterNameCreates a unique name for the parameter.
RemoveLayerUtility function to remove a layer from the controller.
RemoveParameterUtility function to remove a parameter from the controller.
SetStateEffectiveBehavioursSets the effective state machine Behaviour list for the AnimatorState. The Behaviour list is either stored in the AnimatorStateMachine or in the AnimatorLayer's ovverrides. Use this function to set the Behaviour list that is effectively used.
SetStateEffectiveMotionSets the effective Motion for the AnimatorState. The Motion is either stored in the AnimatorStateMachine or in the AnimatorLayer's ovverrides. Use this function to set the Motion that is effectively used.

Static Functions

CreateAnimatorControllerAtPathCreates an AnimatorController at the given path.
CreateAnimatorControllerAtPathWithClipCreates an AnimatorController at the given path, and automatically create an AnimatorLayer with an AnimatorStateMachine that will add a State with the AnimationClip in it.
CreateStateMachineBehaviourThis function will create a StateMachineBehaviour instance based on the class define in this script.
FindStateMachineBehaviourContextUse this function to retrieve the owner of this behaviour.

Inherited members

Variables

hideFlagsShould the object be hidden, saved with the scene or modifiable by the user?
nameThe name of the object.
animationClipsRetrieves all AnimationClip used by the controller.

Public Functions

GetInstanceIDReturns the instance id of the object.
ToStringReturns the name of the game object.

Static Functions

DestroyRemoves a gameobject, component or asset.
DestroyImmediateDestroys the object obj immediately. You are strongly recommended to use Destroy instead.
DontDestroyOnLoadMakes the object target not be destroyed automatically when loading a new scene.
FindObjectOfTypeReturns the first active loaded object of Type type.
FindObjectsOfTypeReturns a list of all active loaded objects of Type type.
InstantiateClones the object original and returns the clone.

Operators

boolDoes the object exist?
operator !=Compares if two objects refer to a different object.
operator ==Compares two object references to see if they refer to the same object.
