# Animation

#### Animation Event

<figure><img src="/files/8k2tJxn591GnMsq7Uwop" alt=""><figcaption><p>Animation Event node</p></figcaption></figure>

This node is used within a visual scripting framework to register an event that is triggered by an animation. The event is specified by a name, and when that particular animation event is fired, it triggers the node, executing the attached nodes.

{% hint style="info" %}
To use this node create a [Unity animation event](https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html) in an animation clip inside the animator and name it. To retrieve it, add the same event name to the node.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Because is used internally, in the Unity Animation Event properties make sure not to use the 'String' parameter (it will get overridden from the visual scripting).
