Smooth transition between clips of differing lengths

[sage belfry]

Is the issue clear?
And if so has anyone an idea on how to do this?

Smooth transition between clips of differing lengths

[vestal plume]

I'd say a blend tee

[sage belfry]

Thing is I will want to have a transition animation Between B C and stuff like that and that won't be possible with a blend tree sadly afaik

plus it's not behaving how I want anyway ><

[vestal plume]

How does it not?

[sage belfry]

When the blend tree transitions from idle to walk for example, it will not restart the walking animation from frame 0, it will just take it wherever it was left

which I don't want

I've made the walk animation the it transitions nicely from idle if it starts from the beginning

[vestal plume]

All animations in a blend tree are synced, but iirc start from 0 when you transition into the blend tree

So you don't have to have idle in the blend tree if you don't want that behaviour

[sage belfry]

I could try that I guess

[vestal plume]

But for you ask I think you will have to use a script with
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Animator.CrossFade.html for a custom transition

[sage belfry]

but the blend tree also does not synchronize well the two walking animations due to their differing lengths

[vestal plume]

Storing the normalized time of the walk state and then passing it as normalizedTimeOffset

[sage belfry]

oh interesting

I'll look into that

Was kinda looking for a way without scripting but oh well

if I can't cut it

[vestal plume]

It is designed to be capable of that, at least

The animations can be of different lengths as long as the step cycles match in normalized time

The differing speeds are interpolated to match

[sage belfry]

they do, it's the objective, but some reason the feet do something weird sometimes

like it doesn't switch at the right normalized moment

[vestal plume]

That seems like something to look into more closely

If you can show the weirdness, and the different moving animations alone I may be able to give more ideas

[sage belfry]

i'm gonna try with whar you suggested and let you know

Would it be possible to have a different transition from the blendtree to idle depending on which blendtree anim was playing?

I have adjusted the blend tree according to your suggestion and it seems to do the job for now, thank you

there's a weird jump at times but it might be one me

(it's 2d frame by frame animation btw)

[vestal plume]

That's pretty important thing to note since blending isn't a thing at all for sprite/flipbook animations

But the syncing part should still work

[vestal plume]

Because the parameter that you use to drive the blend tree will determine what animation the blendtree will be playing, you can use specific values of that parameter as a condition in a transition
