Mecanim / Animator : how to check if a Trigger is true ?

Question

hello

I use some parameters in my Animator, multiple bools and also a couple of triggers.

When a Trigger parameter is turned on by calling SetTrigger() it stays true until it is used in a transition and it turns false after that. I really need that behavior, so I don't want to use bools instead.

I need to know at some point if a trigger is true. I mean that it has been turned on, but the transition has not been played yet and it is still waiting for it.

There are the Animator.GetBool, GetInt & GetFloat functions, but not a GetTrigger function.

I tried the GetBool function with my trigger parameter's name, but it always returns false ...

How can I check if a Trigger has been set to true ?

Thanks in advance

Vince

Are you checking the Animator window? You can have a first feedback of the triggers value there:

In Unity -> Window -> Animator

Hope it helps

If you can't use ResetTrigger() in some way, I think you'll have to use a bool.

It is very simple (If you haven't already figured it out):

 Animator animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
 bool triggerValue = animator.GetBool("TriggerName");

A Trigger is just a Bool that is consumed (turned to false) once used, so it can be accessed the same exact way :)
