Join Sue Blackman for an in-depth discussion in this video Working with additional parameters, part of Animating Characters with Mecanim in Unity 3D.
In this video, we'll look at a couple more parameter types and the logic behind …the choices as we stipulate multiple conditions. …We'll start with the condition that tells our character whether to go into the run …or the bog walk. This one will be controlled by a simple …two state variable. So let's make it a Bool for Boolean …parameter and name it Bog Walk, Bool. Just like the V Input parameter, it's got …a place to set its initial state, but this time it's a checkbox, and it starts …out as false or not checked. During the race, the character will be running.…
So let's make a new state, using BB_Run, and name it run. …So I'm going to right-click, Create State. …This time I'm going to do it this way. I'm going to select Empty, and select my state. …And now, I'm going to browse, for, my asset, and we're looking BB_Run.…
So this time, my motion is in here, but my state hasn't been auto named. …So let's name this Run. While I'm at it, I'm going to replace the …BM_Bog Walk with the BB_Bog Walk, and I'm also going to shorten the name. …
