hi to all,
I met a problem .for example ,in a animation with many states,I wonder could I control which state to show when the animation begin,not the first state.
in the outputs property of animation , I can see "state,CurrentID,StartID,TargetID",does this has any differences?

Best regard!

The easiest solution would probably be changing the Being state. Select a state in the Animation Editor. Press B to make this one a Begin state. Select the original Begin state and press N for normal and it will become a regular state. Now when you reset the Animation it will be reset to the new State. This also works with P for Present and E for End. You can also change that in the Property Editor.

There are so called StateTypes visualized by the color of the States. To change them select a state and go to the Properties Editor to change the StateType.
Your animation will always start at the BeginDefault state (the green one) so to change the start of your animation simply change the BeginDefault state.
