How to randomly play one of two animations?

[ClaverFlav]

i need a character to play one of two animations, but grabbing it randomly.

im totally lost how to do a if statement in an anim state machine, how do u do this?

[Zeustiak]

Use a RandomInt node, 0 to 1, and then an InRange node to check if it is 0. Tie the InRange to a branch, and if it is 0 it will execute true, and if not then false.

[ClaverFlav]

… where is this “branch” you speak of?

i would really like a switch(case) that can do one of possibly six different anims… so yeah… im lost

[Zeustiak]

Hmm, are you in the material editor? Maybe it doesn’t have the same options? Can it call functions or macros? Maybe if you create a function in your class blueprint you can do the switching there.

Yeah, I think that would be the better place to do that anyway, unless you have some specific circumstances.

Branch is under Utilities - Flow Control.

Also, In Range (Float) is the range checker and should work fine.

[ClaverFlav]

those flow controls are not there, and im in the animblueprint of a character class.

i found blend poses with a float alpha, there seems to be no way to do a switch case system for it.

I think the ‘Blend Poses by Int’ node will do what you are looking for. After adding the node to your state, you can rt-click it and “Add Blend Pin” to add as many input animations as you need.

Good luck!

OMG thank YOU!!!

k this is gonna rock.

The sequence variable of the play function can be promoted to (As Pin) Sequence. Create a Select to this pin. The select function got by default two options wich can be expanded ( right click ). Use an integer to select between the option. Now you only need to set this integer to a random value.

In this solution, I’m able to use this sequence in Transition Rule? I suppose it is not possible

[monodrobe]

im having a similar problem, I feel like this could be the answer but i can t seem to make a play anim sequence that takes an input
also not 100% sure what type of pin you made the options, as theres various anim sequence choices, base and without and then reference, object etc

[aristides]

Look up the node called Random Sequence Player. That’s exactly what you’re looking for.

Thank you so much for this, way better than random integer stuff.

It’s a pretty simple solution but it worked for me

[JenAnty]

Thank you, cool node.

This is how you expose a sequence as a pin.

[WrathOfAl]

Actually, there is an easier way!
