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.

To create it, right-click in the editor and select Create Node/Tasks/Animator/Set Float.

This task node has a number of fields, that are highlighted in picture below.

Fields

Name	Description
Node Name	Name of node
Ignore About Self	Whether node ignores abort self or not
Parameter Name	Parameter name/ID number
Value	Parameter value (float value/Blackboard key)

You can identify the parameter by name or by ID number, but the name or ID number must be the same as the parameter you want to change in the Animator.
