Setting Animation States

Set animations that should play depending on an entity's state (Idle, Jumping, Walking, etc.)

• Robot Model and Animations by ilya25yt

• Entity → Zombie (with Invisibility)

• Goal → Automatically make model's animations update with the zombie's actions

Applying Animation States

• Animation states determine what animation should be played based upon a given condition

  Ex: The walk animation should play when the entity is walking

• Most animation states follow the same format

  

  • animations → A list of animations picked at random

  • storage → Where the animation is stored

  • animationType → How the animation should be played (LINEAR or LOOP)

  • lockTransition → Prevent switching to a different animation state until the current state's animation finishes

    If animationType is LOOP the model can never switch to a different state without outside intervention (API/Skript/MythicMobs)

  • In reference to the image above, when the entity dies an animation will be picked randomly from LOCAL storage. It will play the animation LINEAR and prevent transitioning to a different animation state until its current animation is finished.

• States that aren't needed can be removed

• Walking State Animation with a the Robot (Invisible Zombie) chasing a Villager
