Mechanim State Parameter Commands

Mechanim State Parameter Commands is a script that allows you to invoke a Parameter Command whenever a Mechanim state is entered, exited or when a certain percentage of its animation is completed. While Event Sounds can do the state entered part, the code is not event-driven, so less efficient although Event Sounds can do a lot more than just play invoke Paramter Commands. To add it, click the "Add Behavior" button on the Inspector pane after you click on a Mechanim state from the Animator window, find "Mechanim State Parameter Commands" and add it.

 

 
The following controls appear in this script:
     
  1. Retrigger Parameter Commands Each Time Anim Loops w/o Exiting State
      2.  
    • Retrigger When State Loops: Check this box if you want the timed animation sections to repeat invoking their Command every time the animation loops without exiting the animation state. If you had this checked, you could invoke a Command timed to play when 29% of the animation was complete, all 3 times the animation looped instead of only the first time.
