Blend tree transition is being interrupted

[naive kayak]

Hi, I made a blend tree for the animation of my player and I choose between the blend tree and idle on a variable speed which I determine through a script with this code: animator.SetFloat(Speed,movement.sqrmagnitude) but when I turn the player the idle animation pops up and then it switches directions. Any fixes?

and the speed variable suddenly changes to 0

and then to 1

[tough spade]

I would think idle motion should be in the blend tree

Blend from idle to walk to run

[naive kayak]

can i send vid so you understand me better

[tough spade]

I’m not sure what you want to do to be honest

[naive kayak]

when i move horizontally

its kind of glitchy

[tough spade]

It’s doing exactly what you tell it to do

[naive kayak]

because for a frame it switches back to idle because for some reason the speed variable changes to 0

[tough spade]

I wouldn’t even use blend tree for this

[naive kayak]

well the blend tree isn't the problem

[tough spade]

Let me ask you this what is your blend tree doing?

Or better yet why did you choose to use a blend tree?

[tough spade]

So why not include the idle in here??

Wouldn’t it make more sense for it to be there?

And regardless what do you want to happen when horizontal and vertical are 0?

[naive kayak]

nothing

[tough spade]

Clarify what nothing means

[naive kayak]

well i have a transition outside the blend tree that changes from idle to blend tree when speed is more than 0.01

[tough spade]

Ok I understand that

[naive kayak]

and one for blend tree to idle if speed is less than 0.01

[tough spade]

Ok

[naive kayak]

but for a frame when i change directions the speed variable changes to 0 causing the blend tree to idle transition to happen and i don't want that i want smooth turning

[tough spade]

Not sure what smooth turning means

Like if you are moving left then want to go right your character would look down or up first?

[naive kayak]

my character changes to the idle animation for like a frame when he goes left to right or right to left

its because of movement.sqrmagnitude but i don't know how to fix it

[tough spade]

Well with how you have it set up I don’t see a way around it. I wouldn’t use a blend tree here because you don’t want to blend motion to motion. You literally just want to go from motion to motion it seems

Or find better logic for the transitions

I usually try to do things from script and not use animation transitions

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whzomFgjT50 in this video it doesn't do that and he's using a blend tree

[tough spade]

I don’t know what to tell you except you missed something in the tutorial

[naive kayak]

i don't know what i did wrong
