# Weight Processors ## Animator Parameter Weight This weight processor is used to filter the weight by an animation clip curve.

### How to use it To use an Animator Parameter with the Weight Processor you will need to create a Animation Curve inside an animation clip.

In the Animation I have created an animation curved called 'IKFreeHand' to change the weight of the IK used to fix the auxiliar hand on a weapon.

This is later set on the animator to be read by the Weight Processor ### Parameters #### Animator Reference for the Animator Controller #### Parameter Name of the float animator parameter to get the value from. #### Normalized by Normalize the float parameter using this value. (it divides the result by this value) #### Invert Use OneMinus function to invert the value (1 will be zero and zero will be 1) #### Evaluate Evaluates the result of the float animator parameter with a curve. *** ## Look-At Weight This weight processor limits the final weight value with the angle created from the Character Forward Direction

### How to use it This processor utilizes the **Aim** component assigned to the IK Set to determine a direction to focus on. The limits gradually adjust the weight to zero if the look-at direction falls outside the range. {% embed url="" %} When the Direction is not in the Look At cone it will change the Weight to zero {% endembed %} ### Parameters #### Look-At limit To apply the weight processor, if the angle between the look direction and the character's forward direction is less than the minimum value, the weight will be set to 1. If the angle is greater than the max limit value, the value will be set to zero. #### Normalize by Normalize the final result. (Divides the weight by this value) #### Up Vector Reference for the Up vector to calculate the Angle #### Gizmo Radius Shows a Visibility cone to represent the max and min limit values *** ## Weight State, Mode, and Stance ### How to use it These processors will monitor if the animal using this IK processor changes a state, mode, or stance, and if that state, mode, or stance is included/excluded from the list, it will modify the processor weight ### Parameters (State)

#### State List List of states to monitor #### Profile Check also the profile of the state. If it matches, then set the weight value #### Exclude Change the weight so it excludes the states on the list ### Parameters (Modes)

#### Exclude All Modes If the character is playing any mode, set the Weight to zero #### Modes List List of modes to monitor #### Exclude Change the weight so it excludes the modes on the list #### Exclude Abilities Change the weight so it excludes the abilities index on the list #### Abilities List List of abilities to monitor ### Parameters (Stances)

#### Stances List List of modes to monitor #### Exclude Change the weight so it excludes the stances on the list --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
