In order for your Animator State Machine to work in-game, the following Parameters are triggered from the Mecanim Class.

Required Parameters

These parameters are required for a basic entity.

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Description
MovementState	INTEGER	0 for Idle, 1 for Walk, and 2 for Running
Speed	FLOAT	Controls the speed of the entity for Root Motion
Attack	TRIGGER	Triggers the Attack animation
Jump	TRIGGER	Triggers the Jump Animation
IsAlive	BOOL	Triggers the Wakeup Animation
IsMoving	BOOL	True if entity is moving
IsDead	BOOL	Triggers the Death Animation

The following Parameters is what the full Mecanim Class allows. If a trigger or value is not available, the mecanim class will fail the call quietly, and continue.

BOOL

The Animator State Machine uses bool for values that are explicitly set and unset. That is, if you set IsDead to false, it will stay false until you change it.

The following Bool Parameters are supported in the MecAnimSDX Class

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Description
IsDead	BOOL	True if Entity is Dead, otherwise False
IsAlive	BOOL	True if the Entity is awake and alive.
IsMoving	BOOL	True if the Entity is moving
IsEating	BOOL	True if the Entity is Eating
IsCrouching	BOOL	True if the Entity is Crouching
IsStunned	BOOL	True if the Entity is Stunned
IsSleeping	BOOL	True if the Entity is Sleeping

INTEGER

The Animator State Machine uses integer for numeric values.

Indexes

For the MecAnim SDX class, we use Integer types to offer Index values. That is, they are used if you want to add multiple animations for the same type of state. For example, if we have 5 different animation attacks, we can assign a unique attack index for each Transition. Attack number 1, would have an AttackIndex of 0. Attack number 2 would have an AttackIndex of 1. This allows us to have more variety in the various types of animations than we have had before.

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Description
AttackIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for Attack animations
SpecialAttack	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for Special Attack animations
SpecialSecondAttack	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for Special Secondary Attack animations
RagingIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Raging animations
ElectrocutionIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for electrocution animations
CrouchIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for crouching animations
StunIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Stunned animations
SleeperIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for Sleeper Animations
HarvestIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any harvesting animations
PainIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Pain animations
DeathIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Death Animations
RunIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Running Animations
WalkIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Walking Animations
IdleIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Idle Animations
JumpIndex	INTEGER	A 0 to ... range of numbers to uniquely identify transitions for any Jump Animations

Other Flags

We use Integers for other flags as well

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Description
MovementState	Integer	0 for Idle, 1 for Walking, and 2 for Running

FLOAT

We use Float values when we will need decimal precisions, like for forward speed, when using Root Motion

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Description
Forward	FLOAT	The current speed of the entity
Strafe	FLOAT	The speed in which its strafing
IdleTime	FLOAT	The Idle time in the mecanim class

TRIGGER

Triggers are one-time events per call. We use triggers to let the Animator know we want to do an action once.

Parameter Name	Parameter Type	Description
Attack	TRIGGER	This triggers one of the attack animations
Pain	TRIGGER	This triggers the Getting Hit Animation
Alive	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to wake up
Jump	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to Jump
SpecialAttack	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to trigger a Special Attack
SpecialSecondAttack	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to trigger a Second Special Attack
Raging	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to begin Raging
Electrocution	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to begin being electrocuted
Harvest	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to trigger harvest animation
Crouch	TRIGGER	This tells the entity to begin crouching
