I want the transition to happen from state A to state B if 5 seconds have elapsed in state A. I am not sure how to get the time spent in state a and use it for transition.

Hello. try using time remain ratio.

Not working in this case. I want to play a simple pose (so I set the play rate to 0), And want to leave the node after x seconds.
But thanks for your answer!!

Actually I will just do it old school:

  • I put an event when entering the state,
  • Create a Timer with expected duration
  • Exit transition when the timer expires

It works but it is quite heavy for such a simple thing

Thanks for the timer idea. i will look in to it. Maybe there is a simpler way to do it
