Reset Animator to Default/Idle state
Hi,
I would like to set/reset my character Animator to Default State/ Idle state (orange color in the animator). Can somebody write a custom "Action" to AC or maybe there is one action already in AC? I think it would be very helpful for everybody, and nobody should remembers the last parameter of Animator!
Thank you very much in advance!

I'm not aware of any way to access the "default" state of an Animator Controller through script, but you can just create a Trigger parameter in the Animator, and create a new Transition from "Any State" to the default state when this Trigger parameter is invoked.
You can then use the Object: Animate Action to invoke this Trigger parameter, which in turn will cause the Animator to go back to it's default state.
Thank you Chris!
I set it, but something is not perfect for me, because my NPC continues its previous animation state. I do exactly what you suggest, I would like that if my NPC would stay into the default state.
This'll be Unity-related, and down to how your animator works.
Do you have a transition going from the default state back to the previous one? You would have to either change those transition's parameter values so that it doesn't play, or try a Bool parameter instead of a Trigger for the "Reset state" parameter.
If you use a Bool, you can make it so that it always goes back to the default state whenever it's True - but you'd also have to set it to False whenever you want it to play something else.
