Because you have no "idle" at the center of the blend tree, so it picks the "closest one" (or a random one) to the current position

You need either:

• A fifth state at position (0, 0) that has the animation you want
• Move one of the existing states closer to (0, 0) so it gets picked as closest

Ah yes that indeed explains it lol

Not sure why the blend tree visualization was updating even if it wasn't even transitioned into it
