Delay in Switching between animations in unity 3d

Question

I am trying to switch between jet engine animations, but animation waits to complete currently running animation and then it runs animation clicked second. Is there any way to fast forward current animation and switch to second immediately. below is the code on jet engine object.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using TMPro;
using UnityEngine;

public class mainScript : MonoBehaviour
{

Animator first;
bool firstTrig = false;
bool secondTrig = false;
bool thirdTrig = false;
bool fourthTrig = false;

string temp = "";
string tempOld = "";

private TMP_Text m_TextComponent;
private bool hasTextChanged;
int visibleCount = 0;

void Awake()
{
    ////m_TextComponent = gameObject.GetComponent<TMP_Text>();
    m_TextComponent = GameObject.Find("/information").GetComponent<TMP_Text>();
}

void OnEnable()
{
    // Subscribe to event fired when text object has been regenerated.
    TMPro_EventManager.TEXT_CHANGED_EVENT.Add(ON_TEXT_CHANGED);
}

void OnDisable()
{
    TMPro_EventManager.TEXT_CHANGED_EVENT.Remove(ON_TEXT_CHANGED);
}

// Event received when the text object has changed.
void ON_TEXT_CHANGED(Object obj)
{
    hasTextChanged = true;
}

/* /// <summary> */
/// Method revealing the text one character at a time.
/// </summary>
/// <returns></returns>
IEnumerator RevealCharacters(TMP_Text textComponent)
{
    textComponent.ForceMeshUpdate();

    TMP_TextInfo textInfo = textComponent.textInfo;

    int totalVisibleCharacters = textInfo.characterCount; // Get # of Visible Character in text object
    //int visibleCount = 0;

    while (true)
    {
        if (hasTextChanged)
        {
            totalVisibleCharacters = textInfo.characterCount; // Update visible character count.
            hasTextChanged = false;
        }

        if (visibleCount > totalVisibleCharacters)
        {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.01f);
            //visibleCount = 0;
        }

        textComponent.maxVisibleCharacters = visibleCount; // How many characters should TextMeshPro display?

        visibleCount += 1;
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
        yield return null;
    }
}

// Use this for initialization
void Start()
{
    first = GetComponent<Animator>();

Please help me to resolve the problem. Thank you in advance. Ranjith

Answer 1

Just click the transition line between animations in Animator window, then uncheck the Has Exit Time checkbox.

And also your transitions are linked to each other, if you want to trigger different animation immediately, you can use transition from Any State to your desired state. Therefore, animation directly plays when the parameter fits into your condition.
