Set Animator Bool from a Dialogue node

[Digital Adam]

I'd like to be able to control my NPCs animation via Dialogue Nodes. For example, when my NPC say's Hi, I would like a friendly wave to play. In my Animator I have a bool that if checked plays a wave animation. How do I add that to the Dialogue node?

Thanks!

Hi,

In the dialogue entry node's Sequence field, use the AnimatorBool() sequencer command. More info: Cutscene Sequences. Example:

Code: Select all

{{default}};
AnimatorBool(wave)

Notes:

1. The {{default}} keyword also plays the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence. See also: How To: Control the Duration of Subtitle Text

2. For a wave, you may want to use AnimatorTrigger() with a trigger parameter instead.

Thank you.
