When an animation parameter is triggered and there's a delay in transitioning to the next animation, how can this be fixed?

Disabling "Has Exit Time" is the most effective solution for addressing delays in transitioning to the next animation when an animation parameter is triggered. "Has Exit Time" determines whether the animation must complete a full cycle before transitioning to another state. If this option is enabled, the animation will hold its position until it fulfills its complete duration before moving on to any new animation, which can create the perception of a delay when triggering new animations.

By disabling this setting, you allow for more fluid and immediate transitions between animations, regardless of their length. This flexibility enables animations to respond quickly to changes in gameplay or user input, thus enhancing the overall responsiveness of your character or object actions within the game.

The other choices might suggest adjustments to animations but do not directly address the inherent timing issues connected to exit time. Increasing the transition duration would simply exacerbate the delay instead of eliminating it. Adjusting the animation speed can affect how quickly an animation plays, but it doesn't eliminate the need for the animation to finish before exiting unless "Has Exit Time" is disabled. Changing the blend tree type directs focus toward managing multiple animations, but it doesn’t resolve the timing of transitions between defined states.
