Action Inspector

Action Inspector

The action inspector presents the properties of the currently last selected action.

The selected action name (1) will always expose its starting and ending time (2) and the additional exposed public parameters (3).

Triggering the debug button (4) will display the current values of parameters in edit and during runtime.

The help (5) button will direct you to the online documentation of the current action.

The settings button (6) will quickly allow you to reset an action to its defaults values or edit it in your preferred IDE.

The color button (7) allows you to change the color of actions for visual ease.

The description (8) will allows you to put additional information for action sharing.

If parameters are not used, they can be hidden using the appropriate button (9).

The action browser (10) will open the dedicated panel.

Action Parameters Editor

Each Action has its own editor, but there are common elements:

• 1. Enable/Disable Action.

  2. Help and Settings Menu.

  3. Action Parameters.

  4. Browse Button.

  5. Variable Toggle.

Help And Settings

The Help button opens online help for the Action.

The Settings Menu presents these options:

• • Reset: Resets action parameters to default values.

Browse Button

Some parameters present a menu of potential values pulled from the game object, while still allowing you to type your own value.

Variable Toggle

Many parameters can use either an explicit value that you enter or can reference the value of a named variable. The Variable Toggle switched between these options.

The action browser

The action browser is a dockable Unity panel that will allows you to insert new actions into the currently selected timeline.

The Filter field (1) allows keyboard input for fast search. It filters actions by name and category (2).

Once selected (3), the add action button (4) becomes available and will insert the action and the desired position (5).

Should the position not be available, it will still try to insert the action at the next possible time slot.
