Xenko includes a pre-built AnimationStart script. You can use this script as a template to write your own animation scripts.

To use the AnimationStart script:

• In the Asset View (bottom pane by default), click Add asset.

• Specify a name for the script and click Create script.

3a. If Game Studio asks if you want to save your script, click Save script.

3b. If Game Studio asks if you want to reload the assemblies, click Reload assemblies.

• Edit the script as necessary and save it.

You an also override the animation blend tree and do all animation blending in the script. The templates First-person shooter, Third-person platformer and Top-down RPG, which use some advanced techniques, are examples of how to do this. For more information, see custom blend trees.
