IK Motion Layer

Description

IK Motion is a unique Animator Layer. Unlike other features in the framework, this layer can be created outside of the Animator Profile. You can do it by right clicking Create -> KINEMATION -> FPS Animator Layers -> IK Motion.

Tip: this layer can be used for transition motions, like a jiggling motion when aiming or leaning in the demo project.

The workflow with this animation feature is this:

1. Add IK Motion Layer to the Animator Profile.

2. Create IK Motion Layers manually using the right-click method above.

3. Dynamically link desired IK Motion Layer using the FPS Animator component.

Dynamic linking can be performed by using LinkAnimatorLayer method:

FPSController

private FPSAnimator _fpsAnimator;

private void DoSomething()
{
    ...
    // Where `layerSettings` is your IK Motion Layer.
    _fpsAnimator.LinkAnimatorLayer(layerSettings); 
    ... 
}
