Avatar Animator Core Parameters¶

Core Parameters are special Animator Parameters that are set automatically by the game. These parameters offer a quick way to make your avatar react to game information without needing anything beyond adding and using them in the animator.

If you're looking for more parameters, there is a component dedicated to write game information into animator parameters. The name of the component is CVRParameterStream.

Core Parameters¶

Name	Type	Range	Description
GestureLeft	Float	[-1.0 … 6.0]	Current gesture state of the left hand Fist uses analog weighting in [0.0 … 1.0] Gesture Values Mapping
GestureRight	Float	[-1.0 … 6.0]	Current gesture state of the right hand Fist uses analog weighting in [0.0 … 1.0] Gesture Values Mapping
GestureLeftIdx	Int	[-1 … 6]	Discrete left-hand gesture value without analog weighting Gesture Values Mapping
GestureRightIdx	Int	[-1 … 6]	Discrete right-hand gesture value without analog weighting Gesture Values Mapping
MovementX	Float	[-1.0 … 1.0]	Horizontal movement input value
MovementY	Float	[-1.0 … 1.0]	Vertical movement input value
Grounded	Bool	[false, true]	Indicates if the player is on the ground
Emote	Float	[0.0 … 8.0]	Target emote to play. Resets to `0.0` within `0.1 second of being set
CancelEmote	Trigger	—	Trigger to cancel the current emote
Toggle	Float	[0.0 … 7.0]	Currently selected toggle state
Sitting	Bool	[false, true]	Indicates if the player is sitting

Flying	Bool	[false, true]	Indicates if the player is flying
Swimming	Bool	[false, true]	Indicates if the player is swimming
IsLocal	Bool	[false, true]	Indicates if the avatar is the local player
DistanceTo	Float	[0.0 … ∞]	Distance to the local player in meters. Defaults to `-1.0` until updated
VisemeIdx	Int	[0 … 14]	Index value representing the current viseme Viseme Values Mapping
VisemeLoudness	Float	[0.0 … 1.0]	Loudness level for the current viseme
IsFriend	Bool	[false, true]	Indicates if the observed avatar is a friend
VelocityX	Float	[0.0 … ∞]	Velocity along the `X` axis
VelocityY	Float	[0.0 … ∞]	Velocity along the `Y` axis
VelocityZ	Float	[0.0 … ∞]	Velocity along the `Z` axis
AFK	Bool	[false, true]	Indicates if the player is AFK. Only available in nightly builds atm

Notes¶

Fist is analog (range from 0.0 to 1.0 depending on trigger press)
Rock n Roll also includes the flip-off gesture (flipping the bird)
Parameters are case-sensitive
You are unable to write to these parameters using any CCK component as they are considered readonly, but you can read them using the Animator Driver or Scripting API
Core Parameter types can be mismatched, e.g., you can define AFK as an int parameter instead of a bool in your animator, and it will be 0 or 1 depending on the AFK state
