How to generate Mecanim Sub-state namehash?
To figure out what animation state an animator is in I can do this:
AnimatorStateInfo currentState= animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
if (currentState.nameHash == Animator.StringToHash("Base Layer.state"))
{
// I'm in "state"
}
So if I am in a sub-state I figured this would work:
AnimatorStateInfo currentState = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
if (currentState.nameHash == Animator.StringToHash("Base Layer.parentState.subState"))
{
// I'm in "subState"
}
But it doesn't... What string is used to generate the name has of sub-states?
This was a pain.. The sub-state becomes the layer name, I don't know if this is a bug or was intended.
In the example above to get the sub-state.state hashName:
AnimatorStateInfo currentState = animator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
if (currentState.nameHash == Animator.StringToHash("parentState.subState"))
{
// I'm in "subState"
}
Animator.StringToHash("parentState.subState") rather than Animator.StringToHash("Base Layer.parentState.subState")
What about nested, can you just keep going? "Base.state.substate.subsubstate"
Does not work for me... aaah unity... Neither did the modifications posted after.
Base.State.AnimName should work. Looks like you are using "Base Layer.etc rather than just "Base.etc"
I use Animator.StringToHash("parentState.subState") seem to work for me. (Yes no "Base Layer".) But I didn't try with state that have more then one layers yet.
@bushdiver Does anyone tested Unity 4.3.1? I am using Unity4.3.1 and seems it doesn't works anymore x_x. I did the test of getting the sub-state of Locomotion in the tutorial project of Mecanim:
Start(){
static int runState = Animator.StringToHash("Base.Locomotion.Runs");
}
FixUpdate(){
currentBaseState = anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0); // set our currentState variable to the current state of the Base Layer (0) of animation
if (currentBaseState.nameHash == runState){
Debug.Log ("I am Running!");
}
}
I also tried ("parent-State.Sub-state") and it doesn't work either...
@stealann - please don't ask additional questions as answers - start a new thread. The reason your code doesn't work is because Locomotion in the Mecanim tutorial is not a substate - it's a blend tree. Therefore the animator is never in the "runs" state - that's just a motion field that is blended as part of the locomotion state. This code works fine:
runState = anim.StringToHash("Base Layer.Locomotion");
var currentBaseState = anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);
if (currentBaseState.nameHash == runState){
Debug.Log ("I am Running!");
}
Thanks for answering. I will start a new thread for this. As you said, I misunderstood the name of the animation clips in BlendTrees as Sub-status. What I actually wannna access is the blending situation of the blendtree.
