Summary

The main component through which other scripts can interact with Animancer. It allows you to play animations on an UnityEngine.Animator without using a UnityEngine.RuntimeAnimatorController.

Syntax

[AddComponentMenu(Strings.MenuPrefix + "Animancer Component")]
[HelpURL(Strings.DocsURLs.APIDocumentation + "/" + nameof(AnimancerComponent))]
[DefaultExecutionOrder(DefaultExecutionOrder)]
public class AnimancerComponent : MonoBehaviour, IAnimancerComponent, IEnumerator, 
    IAnimationClipSource, IAnimationClipCollection

Remarks

This class can be used as a custom yield instruction to wait until all animations finish playing.

This class is mostly just a wrapper that connects an Animancer.AnimancerPlayable to an UnityEngine.Animator.

Properties

Name Value Summary
ActionOnDisable AnimancerComponent.DisableAction
[UnityEngine.SerializeField] Determines what happens when this component is disabled or its UnityEngine.GameObject becomes inactive (i.e. in Animancer.AnimancerComponent.OnDisable).
Animator Animator
[UnityEngine.SerializeField] The UnityEngine.Animator component which this script controls.
InitialUpdateMode Nullable<AnimatorUpdateMode>
[Editor-Only] The Animancer.IAnimancerComponent.UpdateMode that was first used when this script initialized.
IsPlayableInitialized bool
Indicates whether the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Playable has been initialized.
Layers AnimancerPlayable.LayerList
The layers which each manage their own set of animations.
Playable AnimancerPlayable
The internal system which manages the playing animations. Accessing this property will automatically initialize it.
States AnimancerPlayable.StateDictionary
The states managed by this component.
UpdateMode AnimatorUpdateMode
Determines when animations are updated and which time source is used. This property is mainly a wrapper around the UnityEngine.Animator.updateMode.

Methods

Name Value Summary
~AnimancerComponent() void
[Editor-Only] Ensures that the Animancer.AnimancerPlayable is destroyed in Edit Mode, but not in Play Mode since we want to let Unity complain if that happens.
Evaluate() void
Immediately applies the current states of all animations to the animated objects.
Evaluate(float) void
Advances time by the specified value (in seconds) and immediately applies the current states of all animations to the animated objects.
GatherAnimationClips(ICollection<AnimationClip>) void
[Animancer.IAnimationClipCollection] Gathers all the animations in the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Playable.

In the Unity Editor this method also gathers animations from other components on parent and child objects.
GetAnimationClips(List<AnimationClip>) void
[UnityEngine.IAnimationClipSource] Calls Animancer.AnimancerComponent.GatherAnimationClips(System.Collections.Generic.ICollection{UnityEngine.AnimationClip}).
GetKey(AnimationClip) Object
Returns the `clip` itself.
InitializePlayable() void
Creates and initializes the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Playable if it wasn't already initialized.
InitializePlayable(AnimancerPlayable) void
Sets the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Playable and connects it to the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Animator.
IsPlaying() bool
Returns true if at least one animation is being played.
IsPlaying(AnimancerState) bool
[Warning] You should not use an Animancer.AnimancerState as a key. Just check Animancer.AnimancerState.IsPlaying.
IsPlaying(AnimationClip) bool
Returns true if a state is registered for the `clip` and it is currently playing.

The actual dictionary key is determined using Animancer.AnimancerComponent.GetKey(UnityEngine.AnimationClip).
IsPlaying(IHasKey) bool
Returns true if a state is registered with the Animancer.IHasKey.Key and it is currently playing.
IsPlaying(Object) bool
Returns true if a state is registered with the `key` and it is currently playing.
IsPlayingClip(AnimationClip) bool
Returns true if the `clip` is currently being played by at least one state.

This method is inefficient because it searches through every state to find any that are playing the `clip`, unlike Animancer.AnimancerComponent.IsPlaying(UnityEngine.AnimationClip) which only checks the state registered using the `clip`s key.
OnDestroy() void
Ensures that the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Playable is properly cleaned up.
OnDisable() void
Acts according to the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.ActionOnDisable.
OnEnable() void
Ensures that the UnityEngine.Playables.PlayableGraph is playing.
OnInitializePlayable() void
Called right after the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Playable is initialized.
Play(AnimancerState) AnimancerState
Stops all other animations on the same layer, plays the `state`, and returns it.
Play(AnimancerState, float, FadeMode) AnimancerState
Starts fading in the `state` while fading out all others in the same layer over the course of the `fadeDuration`. Returns the `state`.
Play(AnimationClip) AnimancerState
Stops all other animations on the same layer, plays the `clip`, and returns its state.
Play(AnimationClip, float, FadeMode) AnimancerState
Starts fading in the `clip` while fading out all other states in the same layer over the course of the `fadeDuration`. Returns its state.
Play(ITransition) AnimancerState
Creates a state for the `transition` if it didn't already exist, then calls Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Play(Animancer.AnimancerState) or Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Play(Animancer.AnimancerState,System.Single,Animancer.FadeMode) depending on ITransition.CrossFadeFromStart.
Play(ITransition, float, FadeMode) AnimancerState
Creates a state for the `transition` if it didn't already exist, then calls Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Play(Animancer.AnimancerState) or Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Play(Animancer.AnimancerState,System.Single,Animancer.FadeMode) depending on ITransition.CrossFadeFromStart.
Reset() void
[Editor-Only] Destroys the Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Playable if it was initialized and searches for an Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Animator on this object, or it's children or parents.
Stop() void
Stops all animations and rewinds them to the start.
Stop(AnimancerState) AnimancerState
[Warning] You should not use an Animancer.AnimancerState as a key. Just call Animancer.AnimancerState.Stop.
Stop(AnimationClip) AnimancerState
Gets the state associated with the `clip`, stops and rewinds it to the start, then returns it.
Stop(IHasKey) AnimancerState
Gets the state registered with the Animancer.IHasKey.Key, stops and rewinds it to the start, then returns it.
Stop(Object) AnimancerState
Gets the state associated with the `key`, stops and rewinds it to the start, then returns it.
TryGetAnimator() bool
Tries to ensure that an Animancer.AnimancerComponent.Animator is present using UnityEngine.Component.TryGetComponent``1(``0@) if necessary.
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.
