# 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).
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.overthereality.ai/over-sdk-manual/over-visual-scripting-legacy/nodes/flow/other-events/animation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
