Play animation with the help of the animator once, wait until it ends playing and continue script code

Question

How can I play animation with the help of the animator once, wait until it ends playing and continue script code?

I am playing an animation with the help of the animator this way:

animator.SetBool(what, toAnimate);

1. I am starting my animation in that way:

   rabit.animate("die", true);

2. I am making a transition to another animation this way:

   rabit.animate("die", false);

I need to wait after step 1. before making step 2. so that animation plays. How can I do that?

Answer 1

You can use AnimationEvent. It will besically give you an opportunity to call a function in the end of your animation. More on that here here.

Answer 2

You can call a coroutine:

In C#:

IEnumerator PlayWaitPlay(){
      rabit.animate("die", true);
      yield return new WaitForSeconds(3); // your animation time
      rabit.animate("die", false);
}

To call it use

StartCoroutine(PlayWaitPlay());

Hope it helps :)
