AverageVelocity Vector3
The average velocity of the root motion of all currently playing animations, taking their current Animancer.AnimancerNode.Weight into account.
ChildCount int
[Animancer.IPlayableWrapper] The number of states using this node as their Animancer.AnimancerState.Parent.
CommandCount int
The number of times the Animancer.AnimancerLayer.CurrentState has changed. By storing this value and later comparing the stored value to the current value, you can determine whether the state has been changed since then, even it has changed back to the same state.
CurrentState AnimancerState
The state of the animation currently being played.
DebugName string
[Assert-Only] The Inspector display name of this node.
Inherited from AnimancerNode
EffectiveSpeed float
The Animancer.AnimancerNode.Speed of this node multiplied by the Animancer.AnimancerNode.Speed of each of its parents to determine the actual speed it's playing at.
Inherited from AnimancerNode
EffectiveWeight float
The Animancer.AnimancerNode.Weight of this state multiplied by the Animancer.AnimancerNode.Weight of each of its parents down the hierarchy to determine how much this state affects the final output.

Indicates whether child playables should stay connected to this layer at all times.
Layer AnimancerLayer
A layer is its own root.

CreateIfNew(AnimationClip, AnimationClip) void
Calls Animancer.AnimancerLayer.GetOrCreateState(UnityEngine.AnimationClip,System.Boolean) for each of the specified clips.

If you only want to create a single state, use Animancer.AnimancerLayer.CreateState(UnityEngine.AnimationClip).
CreateIfNew(AnimationClip, AnimationClip, AnimationClip) void
Calls Animancer.AnimancerLayer.GetOrCreateState(UnityEngine.AnimationClip,System.Boolean) for each of the specified clips.

If you only want to create a single state, use Animancer.AnimancerLayer.CreateState(UnityEngine.AnimationClip).
CreateIfNew(AnimationClip, AnimationClip, AnimationClip, AnimationClip) void
Calls Animancer.AnimancerLayer.GetOrCreateState(UnityEngine.AnimationClip,System.Boolean) for each of the specified clips.

If you only want to create a single state, use Animancer.AnimancerLayer.CreateState(UnityEngine.AnimationClip).
CreateIfNew(AnimationClip[]) void

Destroys all states connected to this layer.
GatherAnimationClips(ICollection<AnimationClip>) void
[Animancer.IAnimationClipCollection] Gathers all the animations in this layer.

Calls Animancer.AnimancerPlayable.GetKey(UnityEngine.AnimationClip) and returns the state registered with that key or creates one if it doesn't exist.

If the state already exists but has the wrong Animancer.AnimancerState.Clip, the `allowSetClip` parameter determines what will happen. False causes it to throw an System.ArgumentException while true allows it to change the Animancer.AnimancerState.Clip. Note that the change is somewhat costly to performance to use with caution.

GetState(Object) AnimancerState
Returns a state registered with the `key` and attached to this layer or null if none exist.

TryPlay(Object) AnimancerState
Stops all other animations on the same layer, plays the animation registered with the `key`, and returns that state. Or if no state is registered with that `key`, this method does nothing and returns null.
TryPlay(Object, float, FadeMode) AnimancerState
Starts fading in the animation registered with the `key` while fading out all others in the same layer over the course of the `fadeDuration`. Or if no state is registered with that `key`, this method does nothing and returns null.
