# Set Float

Node description and basic instructions

### Description

Send float values to the Animator to affect transitions.

Use SetFloat to send float values to the Animator in order to activate transitions. In the Animator, define what values affect how certain animations transition. This is useful in various situations, especially in animation cycles such as movement animations where you might require the character to walk or run depending on the button pressure applied.
