# Animal Animator Behaviors

## Overview

Some code needs to be set on the Animator Controller in order for the Animal Controller knows when to execute certain logic. These are the case of Animator Behaviors.

## Allow Exit Behaviour

Use this behavior to force the animal to change to a new state when is playing an exit Animation.

A great example of this is the Climb State. It has several Exit Animations and it needs to know when  to exit to the next state:

### Next State

It is the next state that the Animal will perform. If it is set to null, AC will decide which the next State to activate will be.

### Exit Status

AC will use this value to set the \[Exit State Status] parameter on the Animator Controller.

### Time

After this normalized time has elapsed, the state will be forced to exit.&#x20;
