  Drive Unity 6.3 LTS character animation with Animator Controllers: states, transitions,
  parameters, blend trees, animation layers, and humanoid Avatar IK. Use when wiring an
  Animator, setting parameters from script (SetFloat/SetBool/SetTrigger), building blend
  trees, or when the user mentions Animator, Mecanim, state machine, blend tree, or .controller.

# Unity Animation (Animator / Mecanim)

Control animation state with Unity 6.3 LTS's `Animator` and Animator Controllers: parameters,
transitions, blend trees, layers, and humanoid IK. Targets **Unity 6.3 LTS (6000.3)**.

## When to use

- Use when connecting animation clips into a state machine, driving them from script via
  parameters, blending locomotion (idle→walk→run), layering an upper-body action over
  movement, or adding foot/hand IK on a humanoid rig.
- Use when the project has `*.controller` (Animator Controller) and `*.anim` assets, or a
  rigged model with an Avatar.

**When *not* to use:** simple non-skeletal value tweens (UI fades, position lerps) are better
done with a tween/coroutine — see `unity-csharp-scripting`. Timeline cutscenes are a separate
tool. 2D sprite frame animation also uses the Animator but with sprite keyframes.

## Core workflow

1. **Add an `Animator`** to the model and assign an Animator Controller; for a humanoid model,
   set its rig to **Humanoid** so it has an Avatar (enables retargeting and IK).
2. **Define parameters** on the controller — `Float` (Speed), `Bool` (IsGrounded), `Int`,
   `Trigger` (Jump) — and states with transitions whose *conditions* read those parameters.
3. **Set parameters from script**, never poke states directly: `SetFloat`, `SetBool`,
   `SetInteger`, `SetTrigger`. The state machine resolves transitions for you.
4. **Blend continuous motion with a Blend Tree** (one `Float` like Speed drives idle↔walk↔run)
   instead of many discrete states + transitions.
5. **Layer additive/override motion** (e.g. an upper-body "aim" layer with an Avatar Mask) and
   control its `layerWeight`.
6. **Verify** in the Animator window during Play mode — the live state highlights and parameter
   values update, so you can see exactly which transition fired (or didn't).

## Patterns

### 1. Drive locomotion + a one-shot action from script

```csharp
using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(Animator))]
public class CharacterAnim : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Animator _anim;
    // Cache parameter hashes — faster and typo-proof vs string lookups every frame.
    private static readonly int Speed     = Animator.StringToHash("Speed");
    private static readonly int IsGrounded= Animator.StringToHash("IsGrounded");
    private static readonly int Jump      = Animator.StringToHash("Jump");

    private void Awake() => _anim = GetComponent<Animator>();

    public void Tick(float planarSpeed, bool grounded)
    {
        _anim.SetFloat(Speed, planarSpeed);     // drives a 1D blend tree (idle/walk/run)
        _anim.SetBool(IsGrounded, grounded);    // gates a falling/landing transition
    }

    public void DoJump() => _anim.SetTrigger(Jump);  // fire-and-forget; auto-resets after use
}
```

### 2. Smooth a noisy input into a blend parameter

```csharp
// dampTime smooths Speed so the blend tree doesn't snap; great for analog sticks.
_anim.SetFloat(Speed, targetSpeed, 0.1f /* dampTime */, Time.deltaTime);
```

### 3. Play / cross-fade a state directly (bypassing parameter conditions)

```csharp
// Useful for hit reactions where you want an immediate, explicit transition.
_anim.CrossFade("Hit", 0.1f);                    // blend over 0.1s normalized
// Or jump instantly:  _anim.Play("Hit");
```

### 4. Wait until the current state finishes

```csharp
private System.Collections.IEnumerator AfterAttack()
{
    var info = _anim.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0);   // layer 0
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(info.length);      // approximate clip length
    // ...follow-up logic
}
```
