Dialogue System Trigger (Animator)

Post by jrose1184 »

Hi, I am trying to set the animator state when a conversation starts.
The trigger works for pause the player but not for the animator.
I have attached an image to show my set up

Hi,

Is it perhaps changing to the Idle state but then a transition arrow is immediately transitioning it back? If so, you may need to set animator parameters (e.g., trigger parameters) instead. You can use Actions > Play Sequence to do that, and use an AnimatorTrigger() sequencer command; or configure it in a Dialogue System Events component like the Interaction Tutorial (video version recommended).

Hi,

Glad to help! If it snaps too quickly, you could try adjusting the crossfade duration of the transition arrow(s).
