Clip Animation

Clips represent complete Beast actions. They are started from the BeastAnimator component.

BeastAnimator animator = GetComponent<BeastAnimator>();

animator.PlayIdle();
animator.PlayWalk();
animator.PlayRush();
animator.PlaySearchRun();
animator.PlayWait();
animator.PlayStunned();
animator.PlayTakeoff();
animator.PlayLanding();

The generic form is also available:

animator.Play(BeastAnimationClip.Walk);

To stop the active clip and return channels toward their rest pose:

animator.Stop();

Locomotion Speed

Walk, Rush, and Search Run clips can be driven from gameplay speed.

animator.SetWalkSpeed(currentSpeed);
animator.SetRushSpeed(currentSpeed);
animator.SetSearchRunSpeed(currentSpeed);

This keeps the clip timing connected to the application movement model without forcing a specific controller implementation.

Channel Parameters

Each clip exposes an enabledChannels mask and editable parameters for the channels it can drive. Body, head, legs, ears, eyes, tail, mouth, and neck can be enabled or disabled independently, so application code can let a clip drive the full creature or reserve selected channels for manual control.

Walk, Rush, and Search Run are the locomotion clips. They drive the leg channel explicitly, while body, head, ears, eyes, tail, mouth, and neck can add secondary motion around that gait. Search Run is a Rush-like chase variant with stronger side-to-side head and eye motion. Wait, Stunned, Takeoff, and Landing cover stationary waiting, interruption, the bounding catch pose, and the landing pose after a takeoff.

Inspector Ranges

Clip settings are regular public fields, so C# can assign values directly. The Unity inspector uses these recommended authoring ranges:

Rush	cyclesPerSecond	0.1 to 6	Rush loop speed before the speed multiplier.
Rush	strideLength	0 to 2	Forward/backward leg swing multiplier.

Rush	leg angles	0 to 70 / 90 / 60 degrees	Upper pitch, lower fold, foot swing.
Rush	body/head/neck bob	0 to 0.5	Local vertical amplitude.
Rush	body/head angles	0 to 30 degrees	Secondary body and head motion.
Rush	ear/eye angles	0 to 60 degrees	Secondary expression motion.

Search Run	eye search	0 to 60 degrees	Side-to-side visible-eye search yaw.
Search Run	mouth/tail angles	0 to 70 degrees	Jaw and tail amplitude.
Wait	cyclesPerSecond	0.05 to 3	Wait loop speed.
Wait	head/eye motion	0 to 45 / 75 degrees	Impatient looking-around motion, including head roll.
Wait	leg stomp	0 to 60 degrees	Alternating small stomp angle.
Wait	mouth talk	0 to 90 degrees	Chatter-like jaw amplitude.
Stunned	cyclesPerSecond	0.1 to 8	Shake speed.
Stunned	body/head angles	0 to 45 degrees	Stunned shake amplitude.
Takeoff	cyclesPerSecond	0.05 to 4	Takeoff pose cycle speed.

All clip phase offsets use normalized cycle units, with an inspector range from -1 to 1.
